I used to play Usher often back in my high school days, circa late 2000's to be exact and his s*** like 8701 and Confessions were in my rotation like a motherfucker. Now when I listen to his later albums like Here I Stand and Raymond whatever, this s*** is so cheesy and corny with the electro s***. He lost his soul and made full of radio bait songs desperate for a hit, made me sad too.

Wtf happened to him? No one even talks about him nowadays...

Raymond v Raymond and here I stand are good albums

And the other albums had some good songs on em.. no one of his contemporaries from his era get talked about either

@thebeast44

Only contemporary that has maintained relevance is Justin Timberlake. Everyone else basically died out

He transitioned to more pop infused r&b

He started making dance albums early 2010s

Yeah, Indigo is better than any Usher album post-Confessions

I agree

Justine Timberlake is still relevant out there and held it down longer than Usher

Man Of The Woods wasn't bad either

Speaking of Man of The Woods, that album is so weird I have a crazy love/hate relationship with it

absolutely LOVED the single Filthy and Supplies prod. Pharrell but some tracks sound so weird yet catchy like I can't sing that s*** in public but it kinda hits?

Old age

op def says frick

Most people thought MOTW was garbage tbh

He's more relevant than the rest but still nowhere near his prime self.

Doesn't have much impact culturally these days bc like Eminem he only drops an album every once in a few years and then dips.

At least you still hear about Usher all year long bc of some weird controversy. Plus people were here to s*** on The Weeknd when Usher was disrespected by him earlier this year.

Doesn’t matter his GOAT status is cemented

Prob feels he’s got nothing to prove

Nah he tried to collab with trap artists, he definitely wants to be relevant again but times have changed.

He still has more classics than any R&B artist that has came out in the last 15 years. Watch your mouth b****

I loved A (with Zaytoven) when it dropped

Yea it sounds weird but that's the part I like about Man of the woods. Catchy yet sounds different than his other things

Respectable opinion of yours sir

@thebeast44 what he on with your mans?

Raymond v Raymond and Hard II Love are both nice

Bieber Money

Raymond V Raymond was full of soulless pop drivel that sounds dated af

Hard II Love was okay I didn't like the direction of that trap sound
