My Thoughts-Usher Raymond

Hey guys I'm back again. This time I'm talking about Usher Raymond Terry IV aka Usher, aka Ursher lol. As you recall I did a post about Ne-Yo recently, this will be similar to that....If you havent read that go check it out.

Now Usher has a new album coming out on the 16th of September. It's called Hard II Love, and I honestly am not sure it will be very good....but hey i'll review that when it comes out...

Unless you live under a damn rock you know all about Usher. He's a singer-entertainer. He was inspired by Boyz II Men, Janet Jackson, and the great Michael Jakcson. He is followed by Chris Brown, who I will do a MT blog about one day.....

You know Usher's career goes back quite a ways and to be honest, I've liked his music from day one. I didnt really become a huge fan until i heard songs like U Got it Bad, U Remind Me, and U Don't' Have to Call. Hmm all these songs start with "U" lol.

I have gotten all of Usher's albums so you can say i'm a pretty big fan. Let me pose a couple questions...

Is Usher the modern day Michael Jackson?
Okay this is honestly not a tough question. The answer is no. Yes Usher can dance his ass off. Yes he has lots and lots of hits...but he's not MJ. Kobe is not MJ lol. See what I did there? I'm saying Usher is a great artist but not quite. Cause with Michael Jackson, you're talking about the most dominant artist.....but you could say Usher is the closest thing we've seen to MJ....

Did Usher Ever Fall Off?
I've got to think about this one...The answer is no....NO! lol. I mean if it werent for his recent success I would say yeah, but he's back like he never left. The stretch from late 2012 to early 2016 wasn't a great period for him but hey, he's back to retake the throne from Trey Songz...that's right Trigga lol. Dont' forget Trey came out with Trigga a near flawless album.

Well anyway thanks for reading. What artists would you like me to talk about next...check that database, I've already done a few artists like Drake, Jay-z, and Kanye West.

Doja Cat Albums Worst to Best

Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...

Video Game Review: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

I happened to beat this game recently for the first time in I was just in awe at how epic this game is. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake (which I played on the ps4). This game was a ps5 exclusive however. I know I needed a ps5 if I was gonna play it. And last year I made that happen. This is a continuation of the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barrett as they fight against the Shinra Corporation and the evil Sephiroth. I'll try not spoil much. When the game starts you play as Zack who is a solider like Cloud. You saw Zack at the end of Remake. Basically story wise there is another dimension in this game and you play as Zach in it here and there. There is a relationship meter that the main character Cloud has with every party member….answering certain questions one way or another will change the relationship. I found this to be a cool touch that the first game barely had any resemblance of. The game's graphics are outstanding and characters look ...

Kanye West Albums Ranked (2026 Revision)

16) Vultures 2 (72)- It should be no surprise this album is the worst of the bunch. It just comes off as lazy and uninspired most of the time. The production is decent tho. “Bomb” features Yuno Miles and his daughters: North and Chicago West…..and it's really corny. “Husband” is just god awful. I don’t know what he was going for with that one! “Fried” is pretty dope tho….and you can see the potential of “530”. 15) Donda 2 (75) - I haven’t had a lot of time to sit with this one. It’s not that bad tho…in fact it’s kind of average. I really like “City of God” which features Alicia Keys and Five Foreign. Sure lyrically its not great but the production again isn’t bad. Ultimately I feel like this has little to do with the first Donda album…. 14) 808s and Heartbreak (83) - You may be shocked to see this still near the bottom of his discography. While I bumped the score up a little from last time, I still feel 808’s isn’t all that. I love “Heartless” as it’s probably the best song. “Love...
