During the day, I can walk Cassius, my pet schnauzer, down Soi Cowboy, and she gets friendly pats from sex workers in hot pants and plastic miniskirts. Even the poodle owned by a fearsome-looking mama-san doesn't mind a fuzzy interloper. With Cassius in tow, my husband does not get asked to "lookee, lookee."

But in the center of the album, Akon stops the self-loathing for a moment to romanticize his homeland of Senegal on “Mama Africa.” The equally hopeful “Don’t Matter” does the same thing. Akon doesn’t so much leave his problems behind as successfully pretend that they don’t exist. Akon, who brings Eminem out of semi-retirement...
