Smack That

Akon’s “Smack That” (2006), featuring Eminem, is a club-ready hip-hop track built on a pounding beat and a sample from E-40’s “One Love.” Akon sings about a lustful encounter on the dance floor, and Eminem adds a rapid-fire verse, making for a high-profile collaboration. The song’s catchy chorus (“Smack that, all on the floor, smack that, give me some more”) and up-tempo energy propelled it to No. 2 on the Hot 100. Blurring the lines between R&B and rap, “Smack That” became one of the defining party anthems of the mid-2000s.
