Let's stop all the kcufing madness...Justin Timberlake will never, EVER see my dawg Usher...(I'm riding with "Ursha")

Good morning family....

I am tired.

Sick and tired...

Tired of being sick...

I am so sick and tired of people calling Justin Timberlake the "Usher Killer" I love the fact that cats love to crown a new whatever when the reigning king is still around. let's get this straight right off the back...Usher hands down is nicer than JT.

A lot of people have been sh**ting on Usher's new album. While I will readily admit that it is not his best work, dude still went platinum. You know how hard it is to go platinum with a dope album?? This cat went plat with in this music environment with a sh**y album!!!!!

I have a homegirl (Bless her soul) who swears that Justin Timberlake is the second coming. Whenever we discuss the two, she always tells me how great he is, blah, blah, blah..yadda yadda yadda. She is unfortunately blinded by her fandom to acknowledge that Usher is Justin's daddy. All of the JT moves and etc. came from Usher. And that is not inclusive to dancing...it's also production too. Usher rocked with the Neptunes for his 8701 album, JT went and got the Neptunes to do damn near his entire first album. This cat is bitin' him like a Nestle's Crunch.

For those of you who don't know, I actually used to like JT. I loved what he did with N'Sync and thought he was pretty talented. Actually, he is talented. But compared to "Ush"? Naaaah, it's not happening. Usher has always been my dog. I have always been a die-hard fan of the singer-actor-dancer type artists. From the first days of my college radio career, I knew that Ush was going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Before we get started, let's get some preliminary isht out of the way. Am I aware that N'Sync has sold over 50 million albums world wide over the group's career? Yes. But let's not forget that Lou Perlman, former manager of N'Sync was kcufing them lovely out of that cheese. So no one is truly sure how much of that cash he is currently seeing. Better yet, I am very interested to see if Justin is seeing any publishing points or royalties at all. Also, let's not forget that Justin was splitting that cash five ways. Usher has never had to do that..even when he was briefly in a kiddie group called "New Beginning."

Let's rundown some brief history:

• WHEN JT was in the sticks of Memphis, Tennessee eating pigfeet and cornbread, Usher already had a recording career



• WHEN JT was singing the Mickey Mouse theme, Usher was smashing the charts at age 13 with "Just Call Me A Mack", his first solo song debut from the Poetic Justice Soundtrack



• WHEN JT was auditioning for N'Sync, Ush was rubbing elbows with every major player in the game. (Let's not forget Usher's mentor on style and trendsetting is Sean Combs)



• WHEN JT is playing himself with songs like "Dic* in A Box", or wearing leotards in a SNL skit, Usher is trying to figure out ways to solidify himself amongst the great pantheon of singer-dancers like James Brown, Jackie Wilson and Michael Jackson.
  

And speaking of dancing, let's go to the dancing part. You know what? We don't even have to go there. Usher hands down will smash Justin on that tip. I don't recall MJ letting Justin rock with him solo during his reunion special a few years ago.

You want to talk sales? Please...solo sales is a moot point. Just to make it fair...I will only count two of Usher's solo albums.

USHER
8701 -4 million
Confessions: 10 million (diamond)
Total: 14 million

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
Justified - 3 million
FutureSex/Love Sounds - 5 million
Total: 8 million

Now I am sure a few of you are wondering, wait a minute, "I thought Justin sold like 8.6 of FutureSex..." Please keep in mind we are talking pure album sales. This does NOT include singles. If we did that, Usher would destroy him with 8701 alone. 9that album had 4 top ten singles) All of my numbers come from the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America)http://www.riaa.com/index.php. Not some glammed up wikipedia entry.

Don't get it confused...Elvis seemed cool at first to to a lot of people...not saying that JT is fully Elvis, but his solo career has "Elvis like" tendencies. Trust me...once the urban thing stops being cool, he will be out...back to pop and bubblegum sweet isht.

Hopefully this post will put the nonsense to bed. Ush...I gotcha', homie!
