They was very stupid to pass up on Where My Girls At. I never understood why TLC didn't get that song.

No they weren't. They didn't have the vocal agility 702 had so good thing they gave it away.

Missy would found away love. The song went perfect for the FanMail era. No Scrubs was the last song they recorded for FanMail. That album would have tanked without it.

Ush is King. Wtf is wrong with LA shiny head self. Out of all these people in his book, Ush is the only collection I own. Purchased every freaking album.

-LeftEye was almost completely absent from the FanMail recordings. When he was played the FanMail album, he said he didn't hear any hits outside of No Scrubs. He asked Missy if she had anything for TLC, and she sent "Where My Girls At?". He loved it, and sent it to them saying it would be the 2nd single after Scrubs. They sent it back, because it wasn't from their Atlanta camp. He called and begged T-Boz to do the song, and agreed to pay her the same amount he was paying Missy for it, and T-Boz called back and told him he was a "dick rider" for trying to hop on the dick of whoever is hot.


I love TLC

-LA at a point found himself having doubts about Usher, after other people had been very 'meh' about him.  Diddy was someone who really championed Usher. LA frequently voiced his concern for Usher's vocal shortcomings during the production of the My Way album. The My Way album went through a few drafts, as no one felt Usher's music had any hit potential. My Way was Jermaine Dupri's vision. Usher didn't like "You Make Me Wanna", but LA loved it. He felt it gave the illusion that Usher had more range and soul than he really had at the time. 

-LA feels black catalog (music) doesn't sell as well as white catalog because there just aren't as many black people in the country. Black artists would need to appeal to white people in order to sell big numbers, while white artists don't need to appeal to anything. It's just how the nation is made up. With only 13% of the population being black, there's always the chance that only 13% of the population will take notice to you if your black. LA finds it just an inbred hurdle.

-LA didn't understand TONI's first bankruptcy and drama. He had always felt that they had taken care of her and paid her correctly. Toni hated all the ballads and the gowns they were making her wear, as she felt it made her sound boring and look old.

wait KING Reid

i have always felt that Usher is respected for being SUCCESSFUL
I don't think of his vocals or anything about his craft

[Code Red: itsMista]

T Boz would have killed One More Time but it sound pop and not in their line.

Brandy says EVERYBODY is amazing, hun.

[Rxxf]

It's ok for Usher to be known or respected for just being SUCCESSFUL and clearly having someone behind him to push through... cause even his own people didn't see it for him.

And even with all the #1s and albums sold... they were right.
I mean, we're not here for his vocals. lol. or his artistry. just not there.

[Code Red: itsMista]

Ush made songs to fit his craft. He was really in his own lane.
JD made him a success. He upgraded his swag.
