what do you mean ?, music shifts and it's not like he has being very active. he comfortably makes music these day's but everyone knows he is a living legend

what do you mean ?, music shifts and it's not like he has being very active. he comfortably makes music these day's but everyone knows he is a living legend

music definitely DOES SHIFT...let the young people enjoy their time like we did...either adapt or play that 90's music ...I will say we treated chicks betta off our 90s shit....we'd make a slow tape and get em moist not by choice ...REAL TALK...these cats don't lay em down off some banging Chris Brown lol...

They dont appreciate him because they all look to Chris Brown as the rnb legend that set the standards. Thats funny...last time i checked Usher had a full career way before "Run It" ever had a radio spin.

+Reginald Harris 2 music shifting for real

yes he is do u like the new song

Which new song?

Of course everyone knows that and if anyone denies it either they got shit in they ears or their just trolling

Jaylen Stewart I meant to say new album

The King!

ok...I recall my grandpa listening to usher first tape...cassette tape that is...he is our generation of icons

He just toured 2 years ago man. L4M is the only album in recent memory to not have much tour support. OMG Tour before that was huge though

URX Tour in 2014 he did like 50 plus show in North America, Europe and Africa

I hate when people say "no one will ever touch...." It's so fucking annoying 😒

it's just one way that people profess their endearment towards whatever art it is. i think most times it doesn't mean "touching" the art with tangible records and accolades, rather just it's significance to the culture or to that person. Kind of like how "no one will ever touch Thriller".

No, jodeci did. TF?

+Raquelle-Jessica Morales really it was kaycee and jojo

There's always somebody before time of course but Usher has been very influential and his record is much cleaner than Bobby Browns and R Kelly I think it's safe to say lol. And he's founded a couple artists like Just Bieber of course he has that on his resume

Nobody "did" anything, everything stemmed from whatever preceded it. That being said, as far the current urban lane of R&B/Hip-hop...it comes under as Usher's legacy.

@@justicelopes5464 As a solo artist, NOT a whole group.

Tell em

real talk.. I lost my v to that shit

don't come close

8701 was solid too. I'll make that his third best album.

+Tamara LeeAnn i go confessions then 8701 then my way. all classics

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂

yessssss. EVERY song was crazy

swear i was saying this last week with let it burn

8701 and confessions was the ish

Facts!

do u like his new album

haven't listened to it yet but I hope I do. have you ?

8701

He is a legend period. No other R&B male artist of today can top that or match his success in his career. The fact that Confessions sold 20mil speaks for itself

Exactly Usher is my Guy period

My boy is the it! Periodt!!

Yes😘😘😘😘😘🤩

no fr .. his forehead always been little as shit people with foreheads that small normally keep then

ikr? I as looking at that thinking, 'That's incredible! '😰

Losing hair is genetic dummy

I know right. He's such a figure in culture.

He clearly said he 28 how is that almost 40

You can argue with he ain't selling records either!

Michael Walker exactly. He just had a double platinum record 2 years ago

hmmmm I'm thinking....

Double platinum is about what Beyonce is selling, but its not Adele like numbers!!!

Um r Kelly

haha right! bout to have a throwback moment

sameeeeeeeeeeeeeee! lmao

That is me right now. 🖤

Now too

Top 5 album of my life time.

The truth frfr

Hell yea & that album went diamond

that's his lemonade... it's way better than lemonade tho

+Marc NY Lemonade ? lol Confessions is Usher's THRILLER. Lemonade will never have the same impact as Confessions had, she didn't even write any of the songs on top of that. lol

Exactly! After 35 they expect u too lose all u ever done. Forget age cap and time limits when talent can last forever and accolades should always mean something to the culture.

Crazy thing is that back in the day you didn't really get your career started until you were around 30 if you were a male. After the 60's they created the teenage consumer to get more money out of their parents and began to market to kids. Even when Usher was at his peak, 106 & Park was still marketing to people mid 20's to early 30's. Now everything is marketed to kids, with 35 year olds calling themselves "young" and "lil." I remember when Beyoncé finally announced she was 30 (she was probably closer to 35 in non Hollywood years). But the industry has made artists so homogenous and interchangeable that their shelf life is 6 months or less. The consumers that grew up in this era (23 & under) are used to laptop music that went directly to UKposts. People brag about making their album in 1 week and the consumer who has been conditioned to expect less give it a pass as long as they interview well or have a mean social media game.

pretty much what Cll 3 said... all correct.

...with THAT TRUTH being stated, i will drag my sad ass back to my "retro" music...

I see your perception and agree.

I was born in 94 too so I definitely remember Usher in his prime and before of course but there is some truth tho. Some people in our generation don't appreciate Usher and what he has done in the industry. I feel he's underrated and overlooked compare to his contemporaries.

because most of the new generation doesn't especially those who were born in the late 90s and early 00s

definitely overlooked

I agree with you.Im an old head.Just think if they backed you guys up how power you will be.

Im from 96 and even I remember how the confession singles were all over the radio. But the sad thing is that the album is 12 years old now and in all that time he hasnt released an album thats at least half as remarkable.

Exactly ! I said this but I was "hating " . Usher deserves it . Hell he deserves it for confessions alone

That was crazy, but really young people know Rihanna, and Usher is in the middle generation. He is so talented.

usher been puting out hits since 96 or 97 how the hell do they give anybody who came out after him any type of lifetime award

+MrSolo Rager 93 94

he can't sing

No he's not. Everyone knows about how great he is.

+Fabulous Divo You cant sing nigga

He's definitely not underrated he's the Og

I'll say he's more unappreciated.

Oh shit I’m sorry for tripping on today

Cool baby

lol true. But that's the thing, people are stuck on the past. People aren't listening to the gems he drops today. We all know he's a legend, but they don't support him enough today

***** that's because a lot of time they are underrated to an extent at a certain time

😂😂

.....and half of the kids don't know who the song belongs to....

EduardoDaSilva I think they might because "Yeah!" is in the top 20 of the itunes R&B chart just about every week. It's #7 right now.

My favorite album of his. Classic

so true

Yeah, anytime I reminisce about his Confessions cd, damn near everyone I know remembers who they were with at that point in life and how they felt. That album definitely brings back nostalgia... If I could rewind time.

I am

I am l+kk.mmm.

Jess Best ain’t nothing wrong with that but at the end of the day you would want someone a little younger then you

@@guyedmondson5666 nah some people just like older people lmao ain’t nothing wrong with older men and women

He's an old head w a young heart and body.. he's into 70's,James Brown, Marvin Gaye all that sorta not trendy current stuff. But he dips into whatever is hot..EDM, Pop now Afrobeats

My favorite song of his.

what climax? Not even "Nice n Slow"

swear people act like son isnt the biggest black male artist since Jacko

Babyface > R.Kelly > Usher

you niggas do know thst Usher never wrote and produced his own records right???...you cant compare him to them

Anthony Bullock clearly you don't understand the music BUSINESS. And for the record, he hasn't wrote all of his material but he was alot more involved in the creative process than people think.

i agree with u

True

100 . My wife is black said she hadn't seen another black kid since age 6 and was shocked

well char can afford to send his daughters to private school.

facts its dangerous as hell too. he'll find out tho

You stupid, u don't have to call is on 8701.

+thatlsk 😭😭😭😭😭 Let's just say all of his work are masterpieces 👌👏🖒

Thanks to JD, but people still diss him

8701 also 🔥

I dont understand why he wont go back with Jermaine Dupri

i think both missy Elliott and usher should get them

AGREED!

Facts!

If he doesn't get one next year you know they are clearly trying to shit on him.

Rihanna definitely deserved though. Still don't understand why Usher hasn't gotten his yet though.

My fav Usher album was his first one

it was dat work

Love that album!! I guess I'm showing my age.

LOL. its just showing you have good taste in music

"Just Call Me A Mack"

u ur

Usher has never been ugly

@@rossbank7248 fax

U got it bad, can you help me, bedtime, slow jams to nice n slow, he had it all earlier, those were days when JD was a hot producer

Hunnit!

Lol Tidal isn't even a black owned business. Only a few black people with a 3% stake in the company is not "black owned".

I agree with you smh black people dont know iiissshhhh about business.....

exactly lol

Regina Halls movie is owned by a white studio

okaaayyy definitely got me remembering that 97 year crush i had on usher lol

Real Usher freinds know that song from his 95 album! "Call me a Mack".. too

Yeah thats a doooope song. The instrumental rides out.

+Nick Lee that was on the poetic justice soundtrack

Fuckyourcouch nigga I was just naming it...never said it wasn't on poetic justice soundtrack.

I like "can u get wit it" the most

I cant wait to see my man in concert

why?

Yes girl. We love Usher!😍😍

Yea you can hear a lil bit of the R&B side and not that Pop shit.

drop that IG

neither does your profile pic! :) no disrespect or thirst. ok maybe a little thirst. shrug. :)

well put. felt the same way when he came to Summerfest in Milwaukee 2014

Top 6, after Prince, MJ, Jackie Wilson, James Brown and Sammy Davis JR

I just wanna take it nice and slow

He is # 6 for me. Of ALL time.

She's right, all that she had to say was that she don't care about that trash. I don't like digital music services anyway.

I think she was right...it's so many services and paying for 7 streaming services is stupid..when they all do the same thing. not fair to the consumer.

and kept that vibe throughout, being thirsty and bringing up other people's business. no wonder most people don't pay her attention

Nothing wrong with her not having Tidal I guess but why pay for one and not the other if you're willing to pay for a streaming service in the first place.

Yee is always kinda weird, I still smash tho lol

i love that too!

His music videos says otherwise

@@immerbeach5477 every video he had had a beautiful darkskin woman as the leading lady…

@@immerbeach5477 go watch yeah, lemme see, all the videos with chilli, confessions pt 2 and so much more..

Great album but ppl slept on it smh

Exactly! Usher was so disappointed with the moderate success of it. He put so much work in that album.

THAT ALBUM WAS THE SHIT X'S 10!!!!

Moving Mountain, when that song came out, I was through it bad. It's one of my favorite song.

I have all of Usher CDs, my top 3 is Looking for myself, Usher first album, and Here I Stand, then Raymond vs. Raymond to be honest or 8701. Here I stand is super amazing great ballads and uptempo. I feel for Usher at this time because he became a family which is fine with me, he still my dream hubby....lol and I knew he couldn't stay single and childless forever.

Not many say that about his newer albums, I actually love Looking for myself, his very first album, and Here I stand.
