Funny, Akon has more buzz with one song (it’s currently No. 7 on Billboard and No. 6 on iTunes) than Boo Boo could ever wish for with 5 videos.

David Banner rounded up all the cameo kings on his speed dial and somehow managed to fit their egos on one screen.

What a graveyard shift looks like…in Canada
Ok, maybe not. Kardinal Offishall and Akon hooked up on “Graveyard Shift,” Kardinal’s lead cut from Not 4 Sale. The song is a yawn-inducer and the singing is laughable.
In any case, I thought Akon’s rap debut was worth documenting.
Akon picks on people his own size. Word has it that the kid threw a piece of pretzel at ‘Kon, which led to the mandatory crowd-surfing you see in the clip. To paraphrase my friend Joey, it’s crazy that he couldn’t have done it with his shirt on.
On second thought, this whole thing looks like a stunt. How the hell did Akon’s DJ know that he’d be feeling “Lonely” after that incident if it wasn’t staged?
Update: This video shows what happened afterwards.
