People Settled For Usher Cause There Was No One Of Greatness To Fawn Over, He Got His Spot By Default, I'm Not Calling Him Wack But He's Def Not Great

It's Like When Jordan Left And People Were Sweating Guys Like Grant Hill And Jerry Stackhouse

it will if everyone brings their a game

jermaine still knows how to write and produce along with his team of writers and producers. he knows music specifically r&b music
he got a chemistry with usher just like he got with mariah

babyface just brought back toni braxton after she'd fallen off and put out some of their best music in yeeeeeeears when they did that joint album, even got a grammy

jimmy jam and terry lewis are as great as gold. those guys are masters at their craft. timeless. chairman of the board if you will

and the neptunes? they did wonders for snoop's last album from like a year ago, bush. it was slept on but that 1 of the beat produced album in a minute!

but jermaine needs to be on board with usher and in control of the album; executive producin', ideas, themes, concepts, writin'/producin' along with his in house crew

it can work
When was the last time Jermaine did something worthwhile?

It's possible he fell off too ya know :manny:

yeah, it's possible. everyone falls off at some point. so, true
he like any other producer sometimes does wack shyt too. no one is immune to droppin' wack shyt from time to time
however, goin' off when he's focused and workin' with a good artist, he's 1 of the best in the game

I dont think his hearts in it anymore. Prolly just wants to stay home and bang Janet

Usher doesnt want to be reliant on one person. I always thought he should have worked with dream More, but the songs they made together weren't that great

jermaine ain't with janet no more:dahell:, lmao
they been broke it off and janet done married some rich ass billionaire and done got pregnant by him

the dream is marginal at best in THIS era of music but he ain't no heavy weight like that when it comes to songwritin'. he ain't no match for writers like babyface, jermaine, byran cox, and jimmy jam and terry lewis

When you are active for 20 years, it's not that weird that you dry up. And Usher has been chasing what's hot out instead of being an innovator, unlike Beyonce who has been an innovator. She has been working with people from all over the place, even indie folk artists last time (Father John Misty) and whatever.

But he's far from over. But as far as having stans goes, I don't think women stan R&B artists reaching their 40s the same way they do with young artists (although he's still probably the biggest male R&B artist after Weeknd and JT). Beyonce's stan base is on another level, close to Nas and Justin Bieber stans. And dudes don't really stan older R&B artists either, young dudes stan the ones that move like rappers (Weeknd, trap soul dude etc) but not really.

Usher dropped a mature album called here I stand after confessions. The only reason why it gets hated on by some people is because it wasn't confessions 2.0, but it was still a solid album.

Truth be told usher never truly abandoned r&b. He been making r&b music post confessions. What people gotta understand is that Usher is just as much of a pop star as he is an r&b artist.

I don't mind and no limit gets play because that's what people want to hear.

Usher still got the voice and the dance moves. R&b has changed significantly over the years so he adapted to the change.

Own lane like beyonce?? beyonce has no competition

Usher had to go against other pop stars like Timberlake, jason derulo lol ...it was the right move to do EDM otherwise he woulda fell off. Sadly, people dont like real R&B anymore

This.

Usher had way more competition to deal with and has always had going back as far as the 90s and early 00s.

Usher went edm because the auto tune era killed r&b commercially and edm became big.

I actually liked some of those pop hits. :mjcry:

But you're right. Usher shouldn't have to lower himself like this. The crown was his to take after Confessions, but I guess he became complacent at some point. It's almost like in his mind, his spot was already solidified so why outdo himself? :yeshrug:

He doesn't know what lane he wants to stay in.

One minute he hops on tracks like this:



And the next he's doing shyt like this:


Just pick a side Raymond, is it "I gotta crush on you" or is it "fukk wit a nikka like me, No Limit"?:stopitslime:
