The Rundown: Chris Brown, X - Depite pushing the release date back several times (one reason being his legal troubles) Chris Brown's sixth LP, X, is here for fans and music lovers to enjoy. Brown has often referred to this project as perhaps his best, melding high energy dance tracks with hip hop bounce, soaring ballads and introspective acoustic sets. Along the way, the singer enlists the help of music superstars like Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Brandy to join in. Check out this track-by-track breakdown.  (Photo: RCA Records)
