Definitely his best album to date

"Graffiti is truly a good album, there's a little bit of everything here...dance tracks, deep beautiful ballads, and bangers. I have to say that Chris has definitely grown with this album. I just hope that more people actually give it a chance and a listen without automatically casting it off as a failure because of his actions...you're missing out on good music if you don't."

A medley of RnB and Pop

"When Chris was just a kid and came out with 'Run It' he had the music industry sitting back in awe. Despite his world-wide success he was just a teen with an average voice but great performance skills. On "Graffiti" Chris Brown shows the world his maturity as a musician. This is very evident especially in songs like 'Sing Like Me' and 'Crawl'. Other songs like 'Pass Out' and 'I Can Transform Ya' are upbeat and will definitely keep you on your toes and 'Wait' with Trey Songz is for everyone that ever considered themself a true RnB fan. As I remember someone else saying "'Graffiti' is an accurate portrayal of Chris. Lighthearted at times, very deep and introspective at others and an overdose of pure, raw talent". I really cannot do this album any justice no matter how much I try to. This is definitely one of Chris Brown's best albums."

Definitely worth buying the deluxe album

"Transform Ya - 10/10 - Very good vocals, hot beat, and Lil Wayne pushed it up a couple of notches. If you like Chris Brown and/or Lil Wayne, this song is hot.



Sing Like Me - 8/10 - Nice beat, better vocals.



Crawl - 9/10 - Sounds like an Backstreet Boys song, but it works very well in the context. Lovely song.



So Cold - 9/10 - Nice beat and love the message behind the song.



What I Do - 7/10 - Okay lyrics, but pretty cool music.



Famous Girl - 8/10 - Nice rhythm, and I like how the song acknowledges both people in the relationship were wrong at some point without pointing blame. I feel this song was really good at hitting points without crossing the edge. But I guess with two heartbroken men writing it sounds jaded to some folks.



Take My Time - 7/10 - Would have been a better song if there were no other people on the song. I love Tank and all, but I think sexy songs like this should be solo attempts. Other than that, I like Chris' energy on it.



I.Y.A. - 7/10 - In and of itself, it's not a bad song. however, for the other mature songs on here, it stands out as a bubblegum song. This would have been really good on his first album, it would have been good on Exclusive. It just didn't seem to fit on a mature, emotional album.



Pass Out - 8/10 - Cool little techno bit, had a Forever feel to it. I wasn't feeling the Rihanna lyrics that the girl did on her verse, nor her voice, but it is a nice song to relax and dance to.



Wait - 10/10 - Hot beat and love Trey Songz in this. Very good song. If you don't get the album, this one is worth downloading.



Lucky Me - 7/10 - Song that has to grow on me, like the message, but not the way it was executed. Probably worth listening to a few times before you give up on it.



Fallin Down - 10/10 - Hands down IMO the best song on the album (every version). Mellow music for a melancholy song. Great lyrics since almost everyone can relate to it at some point in their lives, if they can't, more power to them. Definite download if you don't get the album.



I'll Go - 8/10 - What makes this song is what hurts it as well: no end. I can understand as it can be interpreted as an open ending with no resolution as of yet, which is very good writing technique, but I wished the song would have climaxed to reflect the vocal range I know he has.



Gotta Be Ur Man - 9/10 - Reflects the Chris Brown I grew up with and loved; very good vocal and music.



Movie - 10/10 - A sexy song he sings perfectly. Nothing more to ask for in this song.



For Ur Love - 8/10 - Has an OC music feel to it, the song is good, music is kind of nice.



I Need This - 9/10 - Song to hear if you're in the "leave me alone" mood. EXCELLENT vocals and mellow, cool music. Some lyrics seem odd, though.



I Love U - 8/10 - Love the music, nice lyrics.



Brown Skin Girl - 6/10 - Not my favorite, I'm not feeling Chris doing the Caribbean feel too much. It doesn't fit him too well. Nevertheless, I will try to let the song grow on me before I give it less than a five. Though I'm sure lots of people love this song, I just wasn't into it.



If you like Chris Brown, worth the money to buy the deluxe. If you're on the fence, buy the regular for $7; you'll get pretty good play from it.
