“Put It On My Tab”
AUDIO By Beware on August 31, 2008 at 10:53 am
So, it seems Akon is singlehandly bringing pop music back…from the 80’s.
First it was Jacko. Then, Bobby’s ex-wifey.
Now he’s lending the Konvict stamp of radio approval to Donnie, Joey, Jordan, Jon and Danny, collectively known as New Kids On The Block to all the lonely, female thirty-somethings out there. The track is called “Put It On My Tab” and features the supposedly sober Akon reciting a hook which hasn’t applied to The Kids in about fifteen years.
Now, we haven’t heard Kon Man’s two previous rejuvenations hit the stations much. But with his and NKOTB (I felt emasculated by just typing that…) collective fanbase hitting the same bubblegum demographic, this could be a good move for both artists.
The question is, though, who’s the next forgotten act to re-emerge behind Akon’s bars?
Boyz II Men? Duran Duran? Perhaps…gasp…Boy George?
Whoever it is, and however frightening it could be, it doesn’t matter. More than likely, Akon will get them on the radio once again. And, more than likely, they’ll get their bread up, then fade back into the pop star afterparty where they belong.
Ahhh…must be the life.

New “Kids” on the Block have a tune coming produced by Teddy Riley featuring the Pussy Cat Doll’s……great huh!!!!

b/w Akon’s voice dominating radio, the sped-up soul samples in hip-hop, and even autotune to an extent, I would’ve never guessed I was getting a glimpse into the future of ALL THINGS MUSIC when I was a shorty watching Alvin and The Chipmunks.
