Let's begin the review, shall we?

• There is one disambiguation page in the article.

Lead

• "Co-written by Usher alongside Terry Lewis and the song's co-producers Salaam Remi and Rico Love, "Sins of My Father" tells the story of a "tortured soul" in a "volatile" relationship." This is phrased awkwardly, especially the first part of the sentence. Perhaps this is better, ""Sins of My Father", a collaborative effort between Usher, Terry Lewis, Salaam Remi, and Rico Love, tells the story of a "tortured soul" in a "volatile" relationship."

Background and recording

• "In 2009 interview with People Magazine," Add an a between "in" and "2009".

• I'm not sure why Raymond v. Raymond is illustrated in such detail in the article, let alone even mentioned. Unless you can provide an argument on the relevancy of that part, it should be removed.

• It is gone into so much detail because the music of Looking 4 Myself is a complete departure. Statυs (talk) 00:05, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

• That's right, it shows from what stadium Looking 4 Myself later developed. — Tomica (talk) 00:10, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Composition

• Apparently the New York Daily News is just Daily News.

• The narrator believes that the status of his relationship is Karma for his father being a rolling stone." Given that it's directly from Fitzgerald's article, this should either be quite or reworded. Otherwise, it's plagiarism.

• "The pre-chorus features Usher yelping in falsetto: : “But she didn’t make me pay for it with my money! / OWWWW!!!"." Remove the extra colon.

Critical reception

• Wikilink Consequence of Sound.

Charts

• Add a comma after "downloads".
