People stay suggesting matchups based on sonic similarities without thinking of catalogue depth, or catalogue depth without thinking about whether they’re a sonic match. We need BOTH. https://twitter.com/ashleydiort/status/1265092342039658508

Also, there is no single artist who can go up against Ush.

Usher could beat Tyrese just with singles from Confessions.

Y’all please stop telling me who you think can go up against Usher, bc they can’t.
They might have 20 songs, but Usher can pull out 20 MONSTERS.
He got Hitmen production, peak JD production, Lil’ Jon production. Dance joints, pop joints, crunk joints, power ballads...

My Way, 8701, Confessions and Here I Stand is half his catalogue and would murder almost any other R&B singer of the last 30 years.

Ush is really a case of familiarity breeding contempt. Because he’s still so visible - and in an everyday way, not a superstar way - we forget how much he’s given us. One album double diamond (if that’s even a term), another that’s near diamond. Consistant bops for over a decade.

No, y’all. Not Brandy, not Monica, not Chris Brown, *maybe* JT if he used N Sync joints but he can’t match some of Usher’s cultural jams, I don’t wanna even see Ush & Bey - why would we do that? Absolutely NOT Chris Brown - Usher is his musical father. Kells COULD, but JAIL & no.

Did I mention not Chris Brown?

The man is 25 years deep in his career. And still cranking out jams. LEGACY artist shit. Respect him as such, please and thank you.

People have been doing lives like this. @bryanmichaelcox did several that I know of with artists and producers.
