After a brief marriage and somewhat of a lackluster effort last-go-round, ATL’s Prince of Pop Usher has returned quicker than usual with his sincere new single, “Papers,” off the multi-platinum-selling artist’s upcoming sixth studio, Monster Raymond vs. Raymond. The mood of this ode to misrepresented males is chock full of regret and sorrow, leaving the deep keys, fluttering whistles and orbital synths quietly coming in clutch, and the overall feel of the song sounding more Confessions than Here I Stand.
Which is good.

GORRIAL ZOES SO SICK? REALLY?

this is bullshit…he jacked zaytovens/gorilla zoe beat for so sick.
I actually found Ursh’s last joint to be type solid.
I don’t know what everyone is complaining about….
Usher >>>>>>>> Gorilla Zoe
You gotta be outta your damn mind if you have a problem with Usher jackin’ Zoe’s beat. hahaha
Usher with some type of struggle is a better songwriter than Usher living the good life. Just like Joe Budden with problems is better than Joe Budden with a record deal.
