Ryan, a member of the group City High, co-wrote “Caught Up,” “Superstar,” and “Follow Me” on Usher’s Confessions. He speaks about Usher’s mindset and creative headspace during that time.

Quote reads like Justin gave Usher the herpies

8701 had some heaters but he dominated rnb with confessions like that album is consistent and timeless

i still think songs like 'bad girl' sound just exactly like jt

Hmmmm. Never thought about that.

Sounds a lot like damn girl on FS/LS.

But bad girl obviously came before.

im sure they got inspired by each other a lot, mustve been a very positive "rivalry" for the art

Its always good to have compeittion and feeling preassure, HOW DO YOU THINK DIAMONDS ARE MADE! It paid off in the end too

Im stuck on this being the dude from sister act I didn’t know he made music lol and he has to be related to that big neck dude

Damn did it result in a timeless album

JT was that nigga mane

One of my favorite artists back then

It's certainly a shame he had to expose Janet's breast, thus ruining her career, though.

Both legends

Confessions & FS/LS were both top tier albums ever

Timbo and Pharrell in the mid 2000s

No surprise cuz usher was talking about JT at every turn back then lol

Futuresex/lovesounds > Confessions

Nah fr JT was comin with the classics

Word. Both albums completely changed R&B during the 2000s. I was just listening to FS/LS, s*** still sounds so fresh to this day.

Luckily too. I have the CD

S*** like this is the reason why an Usher and JT Verzuz would’ve been made sense.

They both came up in the same time and the same amount of success

Yeah FS/LS is one of my all time favorite albums. Really love it

Def his best album to me

Honestly, im surprised that FutureSex/LoveSounds is not Diamond yet, because that s*** went 7x Diamond in my dad’s truck
