Why Britney Matters
Why 'Blackout' Is the Most Underappreciated Smash Album of 2007
by Stephen Elliott
It's Britney, b****. That's the opening to the first single released from Blackout, Britney Spears's sex and drugs masterpiece (though the drugs aren't in the lyrics and "masterpiece" is a bit of a stretch).
