Advantages: Outstanding Charisma, great beats
Disadvantages: No stand out songs, such as 'Gold Digger'

Another noticeable track is 'Good Life', featuring the singer T-Pain and borrowing heavily from Michael Jackson's 'PYT' (see para's 1 & 2). An infectious, enjoyable song, the production is on point and... Read review
