Akon met Eminem in 2006 during his recording sessions for Snitch with rapper Obie Trice, a Shady Records signee at the time, and the two became fast friends. Akon wanted him to be on 'Smack That', but knew about Eminem's qualms on being featured on too many songs. After receiving a call from the rapper saying he was ready to go, Akon flew out to Detroit.[1] On recording with Eminem, Akon stated that it was 'no different than working with any of the other artists, really.'[2]
'Smack That' was written, produced and programmed by Eminem, with additional writing from Akon, Mike Strange and Luis Resto. Strange and Resto also played the keyboards present on the track. Strange worked with Tony Compana to record the song, which took place at 54 Sound in Detroit, Michigan, where Strange also mixed the song with Eminem. 'Smack That' is an upbeat R&B and hip hop song that has been described as 'a real summer party song.' [3]
'Smack That' was released worldwide for digital distribution on September 25, 2006 and serviced to mainstream and rhythmic crossover radio on October 12, 2006 in the United States.[4][5] A two-track version of the single, featuring 'Senegal' as a b-side, was released to internationally on October 9, 2006. That same day, an extended play containing two extra songs – 'Miss Melody' and 'Senegal' – was released.
Critical reception[edit]
'Smack That' garnered acclaim from contemporary music critics, with many calling it a great club song. DJ Z of DJBooth, in a review of the single, commended 'Smack That' for showcasing 'Akon's ability to sound perfect over any tempo beat.'[6] In his review for the album as a whole, DJ Z wrote that the song and 'I Wanna Love You' display Akon's skill during collaboration.[7] Michael Enelman of Entertainment Weekly lauded the collaboration with Eminem as the 'liveliest.'[8] David Marchese of Spin Magazine classified the single as 'Played-out G-funk braggadocio and bedroom boasting.'[9] Elysa Gardner of USA Today lauded it as 'irresistibly slick.'[10] A writer for The Manila Times deemed the song 'deliriously energetic' while claiming it has 'all the ingredients of a masterful club banger.'[1]
Dan Raper of PopMatters had a mixed opinion about Eminem's feature, writing that the lower register he adopts for his voice is 'not totally successful', but added that it 'shows some innovation from the Old White Rapper.'[3] Ivan Rott wrote a more negative review of the song, dismissing its production as 'prosaic' and its lyrics as 'uninspired.' He further added that the song 'holds no weight in comparison to current club tracks such as 'Money Maker,' the bouncy collaboration between Ludacris and Pharrell, among others. Expect 'Smack That' to drop off the charts as fast as it popped up.' [11]
'Smack That' was nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 2007 Grammy Awards, but lost to Justin Timberlake's 'My Love'.[12]

Music video[edit]
The song's music video is a short-clip remake of the movie 48 Hrs. Directed by Benny Boom, it presents Akon as a convict in prison who is let out of jail by a police officer, Jack Gates (Eric Roberts), who is looking for a witness. Akon is let out for 24 hours to do anything he pleases as long as he can find the female witness. He is given a photo of her and follows a lead he was given that the witness is in a nightclub. While in the club, Akon meets up with fellow rapper and his friend Eminem. Akon finds the female witness and escapes from the nightclub without Jack Gates. This is the first video that features Eminem with his then-new tattoo 'PROOF' on his left arm, which is dedicated to his friend, DeShaun Dupree Holton who was murdered after he was shot by a bouncer in an after hours spot. The video also features a cameo from Fat Joe, Lil Fizz of B2K, Layzie Bone of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Nas and Kendra Wilkinson (of E!'s The Girls Next Door) and actor Mark Casimir Dyniewicz Jr. as the bartender. The music video was nominated for Best Earthshattering Collaboration and Male Artist of the Year at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.[29] The video also received three nominations for Best Male Artist, Best Hip Hop Video, and Best Hook-Up at the 2007 MTV Australia Video Music Awards.[30]
