Becomes A TNO Agent

Demosthenes X:
WTF is the big deal about Usher? His lyrics are unimaginative, his videos are lame, and his beats are tired and repetitive. Like most other rappers, he has no real talent. But somehow he gets air time and money out of it.

Hes basically club music.

Back with a Vengeance

Actually, if I remember correctly, the people who played altered the tapes somehow to make it sound like they had weird deep voices...

Hip hop makes for great club music, obviously. But it hardly needs lyrics to do that.

Actually without lyrics it just wouldn't work well. Part of hip-hop is attitude, something that makes dancing to it enjoyable.

Meh. The only time I listen to it is at dances and clubs and the like, so...

Hes basically club music.

As a true clubber i am highly offended by that statement.

Mainly because it is based in the highly dubious 'fact' that people only listen to that crap at clubs. Hip hop clubs perhaps (despite the fact it's not actually hip-hop, but thats the blanket term applicable), but not proper clubs.

Also, attempting to pass Ushers power-balladeqsue love songs off as rap is highly demeaning to any rapper, i'm sure.

Real clubs play house, breaks and trance, or derivations of the sort.

I wouldnt' consider Usher a rapper. He actually sings. Whether he sings well or not is subjective, but he isn't a rapper. He would probably be considered an R&D artist.

And he's actually a nice, relatively down-to-earth guy. His Mom is his manager.

I saw this on Oprah.

That is all.
