P.Diddy - 'Tell Me' featuring Christina Aguilera

Self proclaimed rap music mogul, P.Diddy, offers yet another predictable heavy-on-the-bass-and-crunk-beats single. 'Tell Me', taken from the critically acclaimed album, Press Play, is a fine example of what has become a fairly obvious and worn out path to the dancefloors and clubs around the globe, culminating in a genre that has become an innocuous mish-mash of tried and tested beats, rhymes and rhythms. Fortunately for P.Diddy, Christina Aguilera provides an element of talent with sassy vocals and a flawless, edgy sound that lifts this otherwise dismal tune. No matter how many times this dude changes his name, P.Diddy, Puff Daddy, Sean, Sean Jean... it still is not enough to bring any originality or innovation to his work. [Gemma Couper]
