The King Coming To Reclaim His Throne. Usher Working With Jermaine Dupri

[Chi-Town B]

 

[Mooney]

finally, a real Ursher(usher) album...his last few joints been dope beverage coasters

 

[Chi-Town B]

Hopefully going back to working with JD puts him back on track cause he was looking shaky for a while

 

[wadupdoe!313]

Its over for Usher IMO unless he embraces going into a mature R&B sound.

He been trying to stay young and it's not working

 

[Chicity]

Is he gonna address giving Herpes to that big chick?

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Let It Burn Pt.2 gonna have a whole new meaning.

 

[DMorgan]

Not anticipating this. Taking a wait and listen approach.

 

[Duwop]

Usher the homie

I'm here for it

Yeah he had R&B on lock 15-20 years ago.

But that was 15-20 years ago

A traditional r&b album from Usher with producers and writers that bring the best out of him would be dope right now

He’s had songs here and there but I haven’t enjoyed a full usher album since Confessions

 

[FergMings]

How comes Usher stopped working with him in the first place ?

I'm just speculating, but the same thing always happens.

1. An established producer/mogul discovers somebody (like how Puff discovered Craig Mack)

2. The artist feels like the person that discovered him is taking all of his money

3. The artist gets out of his contract and flops


If you sat down and thought about it, there's dozens of cases of an artist claiming that he's getting ripped off, getting out of his contract, and flopping.

ok

 

[Reesey]

Overdue and much needed.

 

[Mister]

You two are uncouth savages!

The first thought I had was if the album was going to be called 'Outbreak'.

 

[Lou Cypher]

I liked that confessions album.

 

[Love]

Finally

Like 5 Grand said.

But also its not uncommon for an artist to use different producers on different projects. Its really all about the energy a producer provides to the artist that leads to some sort of inspiration. I think for Usher and Jermaine it was just a "That place, that time" situation. Worked together for a bit then next thing you know they have a whole album of material.

Album gets released, is successful, tour is started, and they spend so much time apart that when they reunite that magic cannot always be re created. Sometimes it can after even more time apart, sometimes a producer and artist will force out another album and that doesnt always work out too well.

Im now noticing JD was a producer for most of Ushers career though. But still, the shit happens all the time.

Red Hot Chili Peppers used Rick Rubin as their producer most their careers but been experimenting with other producers like Danger Mouse and still having success. All part of the creative process.

Usher's music career really hasn't been the same since he fired his mom as his manager.
