Interesting. Any doubt, behind stories like this, who the intended demographic is for similar artists? |

The pop music demographic--kids from 12-13 to 18 is probably most directly targeted--but of course it is probably anybody who likes gangsta rap music. Anybody with a brain knows that everybody in show biz is fakin' it--straight people act gay, gay people act straight, dope addicts act like churchgoers, city boys act like they came from the country. It's all about image. He's not doing anything Francis Albert Sinatra didn't do. |

Gee, Akon's fans must feel like kids who find out the tooth fairy doesn't exist. |
