Hakim & Akon in the studio recording 'MAMA AFRICA'

[mrweasel]

Hakim's version is defintely better...his voice is superior to Akon's and he actually wrote the tune. Pity most people actually think akon wrote it

[BQEXPRESS81]

[brownfoxx76]

ILOVETHISSONG!!!  I've been a fan of the Boys since I was 12 or 13 (Now Im 34- LOL!!!!). It's so good to see Hakim all grown up now- he was my favorite member of the group! Thanks so much brothers!

Big up Akon. Big up all Africa. Akon's best track to date. The music comes from Sizzla Kalonji's 'Woman I need U' Jamaican reggae artiste. I love both tunes though. Both are real good..but if u never hear both of them ur missin out.

[TallSkinnyCartman]

good stuff mayne.good stuff. Akon doing us proud. Africa all day. Kenya all the way!!

[akos73]

Senegalese and Ghanaians are the Best WEst AFrican Singers - If you think you like AKon - wait till you hear the real Veteran from his home country Senegal - CALLED YOUSSOU N'DOUR - His tickets are the hardest to come buy. I will pay $500 to see Youssou Ndour. I dont understand their native Woloof cos i am ghanaian, but i love to hear them sing it nonetheless.

[cheikbi]

man i agree for senegal but ghana i've never heard music from ghana where u put ivory coast music called couper decaler bro came ...i'm from MAURITANIA respresent the cocaine deale of the african west coast for life

hakimsmusic

[Mwenjoyoz]

Who cares weather he was born in Africa or not??? He identifies himself as African - a fact that alot of celebrities even the ones born in Africa will not dare to do! So can we please stop with the hateration and focusing on irrelevant, dumb ass issues and just enjoy this beautiful song!!!!

[CandyMan1221]

Sick Song! Lovin it

[lex1171]

if u don't like it don't comment cause theirs a ton of us who love this song and him
