@spliz I'm mad u gave this a dignified response

Da fuk does the bolded have to do with him being mainstream:scust:

Usher was bigger as many have said due to being younger. Up until confessions they were about the same. Usher caught fire with that album & is now looked at as bigger. After that album usher went back to where he was at 8701 as far as R&B popularity

Usher really does owe lil Jon & Luda ALOT

Naw you right usher was def bigger as far as sales..,. I feel due to his age & Ginuwine had more adult oriented type records. Moreso was speaking from a personal view & what I heard most people listening too

You off on Ginuwine numbers tho. Both them albums went double

Nikkas butthurt because im being real? Never said that was a bad thing. Usher crossed over and the proof is in the sales and charts brehs. His music was just more generic and radio friendly it had nothing to do with age because r kelly was hot for damn near 2 decades

Usher was always a bigger star than Gin.

While going 2 x Platinum is successful, those sales were just average for 90s standards. Usher was going 6x platinum plus.

Ginuwine spent half of his career as Jodeci's water boy, but even then dude was still huge. usher was a child star so he has just been in the spotlight longer. When Usher had that song Call me a Mack Ginuwine was a grown man singing back up for jodeci :francis:

Ginuwine didnt fall of when Timbaland stopped producing for him. The Life album only had 1 Timbo beat and went platinum and "Differences" is Ginuwines biggest billboard hit
He went on and dropped dope music after Tim like Stingy and I'm In Love. I fukked wit In Those Jeans as well.
