Tru To You

Crazy throw back track more than a decade old now. I’ll post the old video but I thought it would be nice to see Usher’s talent live. Yeah, I have to admit he brings a good show and can really get the crowed going…well…at least the lady crowd. No wonder he went through with the divorce.

If you look really closely towards the end you’ll notice this one guy going crazy when Usher’s doing his hip thrust. Hilarious but doesn’t spoil the song. Keep on bringing the baby makin music Ush.

Usher didn’t achieve wide spread acceptance till My Way. He was a slick confident young adult during that time but did you know he released an album prior to that with his then mentor Diddy?

Usher’s self debut album was a flop. Selling a little over 50,000 units causing Diddy to think twice about a follow up effort. Diddy dropped Usher but Ush was given a second chance and went under the wing of Jermaine Dupri. To this day Usher says he holds no grudges against Diddy which makes sense because Puff is a guy you wouldn’t want to be on the opposite side of.

Anyway, some industry reps say that Usher’s self debut album was a flop simply because of the image he portrayed. The market didn’t take him seriously because he was way to young to be singing about sex and love. Image aside he had some really good tracks on that album. One of them being this slow jam, You Took My Heart.

Go to Usher’s Official Page or MySpace for his most recent happenings.

Respect for Usher. Making deeper songs then how he cheated on his girlfriend or grinding ladies in the club.

Fairly basic video but with deep messages. He touches upon the war, voting, homelessness and others

I think he’s genuine about it considering he started his own not for profit organization, New Look.

You be the judge.

Many of you already know about Usher’s latest album, Here I Stand. A follow up to his massively successful Confessions album but never really achieved the same acclaim.

I personally think Here I Stand was a step up from Confessions. Especially in the slow jams department he ripped it up with Moving Mountains, Trading Places, His Mistakes and the list goes on.

Below is a leaked track, maybe from his 6th studio album, titled enchanted.

Also, in between Confessions and Here I Stand he put together the R&B group Once Chance. These guys are gonna blow up. A lot of their tracks have been circulating the internet scape and I really think these guys are gonna make it. Take You Out On A Date kinda has the same feel as Usher’s Moving Mountains and is hawwwwt. You can check out one of their sample tracks  below as well.
