Trash, Problematic Human .... Haven't actually listened to a full album of his since X, but started this one from a purely songwriting standpoint as I heard a record I haven't heard in ages and it reminded me of 2007/08. Sidebar: He really had the world in his hands and was on the cusp of world domination in December 2008... isn't that crazy?

I was working on this one a while back (alongside a Usher one) so I thought both should get their day in the sun. I put CB in the Alicia Keys / Beyonce category as he is a prolific writer who would rather write with 25 people in one session than fully accept a demo untouched.

I'll probably come back to expand this tomorrow.

As people keep sending requests and offering people, Rita Ora and Frank Ocean are potentially the last two I'll work on. (Someone else with a larger knowledge of Madonna and Kylie Minogue should cover those two.)

Added a few new ones, including what would've been an easy hook I'm sure Chris Brown wanted to keep in hindsight around his underperforming Graffiti era / Rihanna-gate.
