If You Were Born In St. Louis, Even If You Spent Ten Years In Dakar, You're Still American.

So why is Akon, who was born in St. Louis, moved to
Dakar, Senegal as a toddler and back to the U.S at age
ten, always touting his Africanism so tough?
Akon says he and Eminem are a lot alike because Em was
the first white boy to come and take over the rap game and
now he's the first African to come and do it. O.K. Kon, I hate
to be the one to break it to you, but if you were born here,
you're one of us. Just a plain old well traveled American negro.
Sorry!
And I think you have to sell as
much a Eminem before you can say you "took over"
the American rap game, mmmkay.
