Mariah Carey Angels Advocate

Mariah's 2009 collaboration with the-Dream and Tricky Stewart, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, gets the remix treatment with 2010's Angels Advocate. Featuring tracks by the-Dream, Tricky, Timbaland and a laundry list of other top-level hitmakers, Advocate also enlists the aid of T Pain and Gucci Mane, who, I believe, are contractually obligated to appear on every song that could potentially get radio play. The album's lead single "Up Out My Face" features Weezy protege Nicki Minaj who uses her verse to adopt a faux-M.I.A. accent for no apparent reason.
