...Pain makes so many guest appearances - including on Jamie Foxx's alcoholic anthem "Blame It," for which he earned another Grammy nod this year - that it's nearly impossible to turn on the radio without hearing his digitally altered vocals on someone else's song.

Meanwhile, Butler makes a sad attempt at portraying a psychotic yet profound killer. When a cellmate asks him how he ended up in prison, Butler cryptically responds, “I did what...
