One of the kings of R&B👌🏾 no doubt
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!
usher is a legend, this new generation just don't appreciate or understand it
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
Usher fathered all these R&B dudes he made it cool to be an R&B artist around hip hop
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.
Confessions is one of the best albums imo. usher is a legend to me.
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
Ushers run between My Way and Confessions is the GOAT in R&B history
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
Usher is chilled and humble af. Rare human!
Exactly Usher is my Guy period
My boy is the it! Periodt!!
Yes😘😘😘😘😘🤩
I don't appreciate how these guys are talking to Usher like he is some new artist! Usher is an Icon he has nothing to prove. No one will ever touch "Confessions" no one will ever touch "8701" and no one will ever touch "My Way".
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".
It's crazy how he is the only 90s R&B male artist still this relevant and still making hits.
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
I'm gonna play Confessions while I'm telling my grandkids. "See, y'all youngbloods don't make music like this here no more"
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
yessssss. EVERY song was crazy
swear i was saying this last week with let it burn
8701 and confessions was the ish
Welp....time for me to binge watch some Usher videos.
haha right! bout to have a throwback moment
sameeeeeeeeeeeeeee! lmao
That is me right now. 🖤
Now too
Usher is almost 40 and he still has his hairline #goalsAF
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
Those of us who grew up listening to Usher REALLY know how to appreciate him😘😘😘 #Legend #Icon #UsherBaby4Life
I hate old heads keep saying the new generation don't respect or know usher. I was born in 94 but still remember the summer when confessions was out you couldn't turn on the radio without hearing a usher single c'mon son
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.
Usher's Confessions album was like an mini movie if you think about it. Ahhh 04 brings me great memories.
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.
that confessions album is legendary..
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
usher is the definition of a legend respect
Oh shit I’m sorry for tripping on today
Cool baby
Usher is a young LEGEND. 22 years in the music industry making classics and hits.
usher is not appreciated enough. he is amazing. he has actual talent which is hard to find In today's music. he does not get the praise he deserves
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
Usher is a R&B legend
Usher still got it? He never lost it. The culture loves to place time limits on artists when in reality no other genre does that and hence why their artists can continue to make money into old age
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 CZcams. 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.
"Is Usher Appreciated?" Usher is LEGEND it is nothing left for him to prove. The fact that he is still relevant shows he is more than appreciated. It is a lot of R&B Dudes from the 90's who was around with Usher that we no longer see or hear from anymore
He needs to be appreciated more. 8701 since he hasn't missed. All hits. That's why the star on Hollywood walk a fame make sense, that's a big look. Dude is lowkey our Michael Jackson. Im 23 so i grew up with him. Big ups to him. Im glad yall did this. Thank you usher. living legend.
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.
Usher and R Kelly are the top 2 biggest contributors to music and RnB since they came out hands down. Usher is legendary
Confessions is such a masterpeice...man! "U dont have to call" i listen to atleast twice a week and song still crazy dope. No rnb artist has achieved the accolades and fan far then usher.
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
Usher is so fucking underrated man, it's unbelievable
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.
He was the last artist to go diamond with "Confessions" before the streaming services.
Usher hands down is still one of my favorite artist i still support him.. I just love him
no wonder he like older women he's very mature and has a lot of wisdom
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
Ppl forget so quickly bc social media usher been a legend period
I really like that Usher tries different sounds but still keeps the music undoubtedly R&B.
I also enjoy that he is very concerned about the society we are in...I love well-rounded artists.
Usher gave Yee that smooth voice like "You really not gon get it" 😂
Idk why y'all saying usher underrated like they don't still play yeah every weekend lol.
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.
I absolutely love this man! He is a legend! I've been a fan since they premiered "Call Me A Mack" back in '93.
usher is gorgeous
u ur
Usher has never been ugly
@@rossbank7248 fax
My boy!!!!!! He so humble. Love that...love u Usher!
Usher is one of the GREATEST if you are a usher fan, you can play any album that he has created and listen from the beginning to the end..
Seeing usher at this stage of his career reminds me of how fast time and life goes by
As much as people love Confessions, I truly think his best record is Climax. Such an underrated track, and that's saying something because he went no.1 for 11 weeks and won him a Grammy.
My favorite song of his.
what climax? Not even "Nice n Slow"
Great interview!!!! Usher is very intelligent, talented, and handsome.I can see why a lot of women are drawn to him.He has a calm and charismatic demeanor. Love him or hate him. Usher is an R&B legend.
Usher is one my favorite music artist. Hands down.
One of my favorite artists. Confessions is a classic. Love the new album, also. He seems so chill and laid back.
best interview so far. Usher is really articulate in his speech.....big ups!!!
mad respect to usher, he's one of the artists i can literally remember listening to his music for most of my life...thats crazy
A young living legend. I've been a fan since 'Call me a mack!'
Watching him still give me the same chills I had as a pre-teen back in the day. I will always and forever love him so much!!
Respect to Usher for real!! Out of all his joints I have to say my FAV song from him EVER is "Think Of You" on his very first album
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
Usher isn't just Usher; he's USHER! Yeah I'm a #1 fan. #legend
Usher gave a great interview.
I hope Hard II Love doesn't get overlooked...Start to finish, this album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
ursher baby!!!! ive legit grown up w Usher and enjoyed his journey! it has been a little weird that it feels like the dominant culture undermines his value to music bt when u go to an Usher show..its all love! :)
I cant wait to see my man in concert
Usher baby! Loving his new music, hope he goes on tour, would love to see him again.
Usher is a great story teller. He really pulls you in by his cadence and hand motions. I liked this interview.
HE IS SO SMOOTH
The way he came back with No Limit. Always re-inventing himself. Also giving opportunities to the young talents out there. Legend.
Great man! Fantastic new music. Been a fan since his beginning. Congrats, USHER!
he's very articulate. that's refreshing
I'm still listening to confessions to this day driving in atlanta traffic. #legendaryalbum
Congrats to Usher for his Walk of Fame star! He is a living legend. He has nothing left to prove in the music industry but I appreciate him mentoring up incoming R&B artist. I have been a fan since the mid 90s. And on a personal note, I appreciate him for representing Atlanta to the fullest. We see him all the time at the strip clubs in the city lol but he a cool brother. Continued blessings my G!
I went to Essence festival last year and Usher hands down was the best show of the evening. The stage presence, the stance, all of that is a part of it all and these artists just wondering up and down the stage with no direction at all and Usher had the cleanest story telling show. very little complaint. . . he does a great job!
well put. felt the same way when he came to Summerfest in Milwaukee 2014
If charlemagne's kid is really the only black kid in the entire school thats crazy.. I would transfer my kid immediately.. no not b/c of the white ppl so chill, just because I think its important for her to interact with kids that look like her
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
First time I heard "Burn" I damn near cried...And I was only 9 at the time. And when I heard "Moving Mountains" I was like damn this nigga keep touching my soul and I was 13. At that point I realized Usher is a GOAT !
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
the GOAT in my opinion. I grew up to this man's music. favorite artist of any genre.
"Looking for myself" was his best to me now this....A GEM. Growing with Usher....past Confession is awesome.
Not many say that about his newer albums, I actually love Looking for myself, his very first album, and Here I stand.
Usher is someone who I don't love as much as I once did and I don't check for his music. BUT I will ALWAYS have this level of love and respect for him what he has achieved. "Confessions" is still to this day one of my favorite albums... And he damn near reached Michael Jackson status with it.. And I remember the excitement I had leading up to the Truth tour, watching him perform and even after I went to school on Monday and like half the school went too and were STILL super excited. Not everyone can evoke that emotion
why?
Not that MTV is credible anymore BUT, if your going to create a michael jackson vanguard award then before JT, beyonce, rihanna, , USHER should get that award
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.
Very Nice interview Usher so chill & well spoken loving you more as a person!!!!🙌🏾💯👏🏾👏🏾
Damn i love this dude... Usher a legend and will always be one of the best R&B Artist (if not the best) till this day.. That's Confession Album is the bomb.. Damn...We need another type of record.. Looks good too..
I love Usher. A consummate entertainer and artist that's been real since '94. And I like that he doesn't down the current generation but actually teaches out to them to collab. He could be a snob about his success but he's actually generous. A testament to his success.
people don't even remember the songs he had in 94 titled "many ways" and" can you get wit it"
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"
Usher will always be a timeless icon, and he still looks good!! God bless him.
I ♥️Usher!!!! He is a living LEGEND. My favorite song by him is "The Many Way"
Wow this is the first interview I've ever watched of his. He seems like a great articulate mature person.
Usher is an international superstar....makes great music no matter the genre...VERY underrated top 10 Greatest entertainers of all time...Top 3 R&B of all time....
Top 6, after Prince, MJ, Jackie Wilson, James Brown and Sammy Davis JR
I LOVE the new album Usher! I can honestly say I can sit down and listen to the whole album! I pre-ordered the album on iTunes and then bought the physical copy at BestBuy. Usher is a true talented artist and a real triple threat. I respect his mind, talent, and influences. Usher and Michael Jackson are my two favorite male artist! This album is really back to the legit R&B and Trap Soul!!! So thank you so much Usher for giving us fans some old Usher....I loved it! Now, I can't wait to see the TOUR that is hopefully to come w/ this amazing album! Hard II Love is another Usher classic :) #TeamUsher ....
I remember listening to Confessions constantly my junior and senior years of high school..that and Tha Carter. Memories ☺️
New album is very very good! Doesn't disappoint👍🏽
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. :)
This album is craaaazyyyy
It's not just about his music or art behind his music, this is the human side of Usher in the purest form.
I loved his album here I stand.... I still get chills listening to moving mountains.
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.
Usher had a great conversation thanks and god bless
This guy is a legend. I remember wanting to be usher back in 94 when he came out with "think of you".
Envy & Charlamagne: "Yee doesn't support black businesses"
Envy & Charlamagne: "Regina Hall, I'm not going to see your new movie."
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
I went to one of his Concerts & IT WAS AWESOME!
Usher is a legend, take this W for bringing him in to talk to y'all.
USHER IS A LEGEND... In my top 5 forever
I just wanna take it nice and slow
He is # 6 for me. Of ALL time.
He always gives really good interviews. Very professional.
maaaahhnnn he's so calm that it warms ya heart.... always likable
usher is a legend he been here since 1994 and i think its more of the fact that hes STILL here most 90s r&b singers disappeared and went ghost 8 albums hollywood star ups and downs and is still the greatest entertainer of our generation
Time sure looks good on Usher. Blessed!
Usher is a legend!
Usher is a legend in the game, that's indisputable, My Way, 8701 and Confessions are classics in the R&B genre.
His later albums didn't recreate the same magic, but have provided some great singles.
Regardless, his body of work is full of quality if not quantity. Since the 90s, R&B has had only a hand full of legends and he is definitely one of them.
great interview. i like usher a lot more now as an individual and not just an artist. much respect and much love. ill always love the breakfast club
I'll always love Usher...
Man I grew up with Usher's music. I was in the 6th grade when "just call me the mack" came out. I think that was the title but it was for the Boomerang soundtrack. I grew up with music from Brandy, Aaliyah and Monica. They were all around the same age and Usher is still here making and selling records. I'm Very proud him. I have an old CD of this group that he was apart of before he became solo. I'm thinking he started out as early as 11 years old. This man has been consistent and has longevity.
Poetic Justice not boomerang lol
Confessions is the modern day Thriller. Crazy how I been playing it a lot lately and then all of a sudden he does a big interview. Amazing album.
What the hell !! I follow Usher on twitter and I didn't know the albums was out... "Hard 2 love" ... well, no one is perfect! I still love you Usher! True fan til the end.. This man's music is always evolving.. Its crazy :0) I'm still stuck on " looking 4 myself " I connected with him the most with that album...
Wow, I never knew Usher was so mature and profound. Got me crushin on him like it's 97. lol
okaaayyy definitely got me remembering that 97 year crush i had on usher lol
Love usher, he is an awesome artist!!
Mad respect for Usher and No Limit.
Love 'em or hate 'em, they're not goin' anywhere.
I ran into Usher once at the airport when i was working there years ago, he was like 14 or 15 and just starting out. Such a cool dude then and now
