It's a good thing that there are 21 tracks on this album cuz that just increases the odds that there are at least a few good tracks somewhere. Well, there are, but they are few and far between, despite the ridiculous star power involved with this project. Nevertheless, it's a lot better than Akon's album. Of course the first hit single "Can't Believe It" with Weezy is the best track. The beat is dope, very relaxing, Lil Wayne behaves himself pretty well and the track comes together very nicely. The other single,"Chopped and Screwed" with Luda is a little annoying, but more tolerable than most of the tracks on the album. The main problem with T-Pain's songs is that he really doesn't have anything to sing about. So he tend to pick stupid topics for his songs that really have no depth to them. For example, he lines up an all-star R&B cast consisting of Musiq, Raheem DeVaughn, and Jay Lyriq for his track "Reality Show" which really isn't about anything meaningful. Why get some of the deeper R&B cats to do a meaningless waste of a potentially dope track? Anyway, Pain delivers a scathing rap track on "Karaoke", eating up other emcees and proclaiming that the only Kanye and Lil Wayne are cool, despite featuring a number of other rappers on his album. There are a few other tracks that are alright, like "Phantom" and "Freeze" with Chris Brown, but again, there is a lack of substance to any of this.
5/10
