Smack That was released in 2006 as the lead single from Akon's second album Konvicted, featuring a guest verse and production from Eminem. The track became a worldwide chart hit and a staple of 2000s pop and hip hop playlists. Eminem's closing section in particular has been clipped and shared on soundboards and social media, where fans isolate it from Akon's chorus to replay the flow on its own. Its continued use reflects lasting nostalgia for the era when Akon and Eminem dominated radio together.
