Usher ain't never fell off musicly. His business game ain't right. Yeah he making money but he not taking ownership like he should. I don't even think this nikka getting paid for Bieber anymore. Beyonce a hustler and took ownership. Also she put trust in Jay and now they both got even more. Usher problem is his mom's was his manager for waaay too long.

Two reasons in my opinion:

1) He didn't go EDM. "OMG" and "DJ Got Us Falling In Love" were hits, and had he gone the Pitbull/Flo-Rida route and go that pseudo EDM lane, he'd be raking money hand over fist

2) He tried to ride The Weeknd wave in 2012 and that flopped.

Like others said,he stopped making ELITE music after confessions.
He doesnt have to top it,but he needs some more unforgettable singles atleast and he's not doing it.

Has nothing to do with it. When Beyonce made DRUNK IN LOVE,she was being current. But she killed it and made it a classic

The nikka just won't drop a good fukking album. He'll drop a few good singles (There Goes My Baby, Climax) getting you hyped for the album, then the album will come and leave you like :beli:. Just get with a producer and make a good fukking R&B album. That's all the people want :what:

Good kisser was a hit, right? It got mad play on the urban ac stations. Had me excited for the record, and then nothing :beli:

The music nerd in me wants him to work with the dupri, jam and Lewis, Neptunes, people he has a good track record with, but he's feeling that pressure to stay relevant, so we get collabs with young thug :francis:
Good Kisser was a good step,but wasnt that good. It was lukewarm,not a smash though
