This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw





Real

That's a tough one. Part of me says yes, part says no. I feel like he has tarnished his legacy a bit

pettypatty

Yea. I guess so

'Bert is the only R&B male LEGEND from the 90's though  :letsmessfag:

I'm actually gonna say no. I think a big part of being iconic is the ability to evolve....and he never really has past Confessions.

wow yeah. this is true  :ohwow:

I don't. There's nothing really iconic about him to me.

Sure he had a nice run, but I don't really see anyone trying to emulate anything he does.

He hasn't really left a mark.

Nine

I'd say so.

The My Way - Confessions eras are iconic imo.

Usher has been extremely successful.
But he isn't influential, he hasn't contributed anything to the culture of music besides charts  :dead:

He's only really had 3 memorable eras in his whole career.
No one is trying to emulate FLUSH though  :dead:

This is EXACTLY how i feel. Like yea he has some great stats (Getting a diamond album, ESPECIALLY as a male R&B Artist is no small feat) but Usher is so MEH to me. Like NOTHING about him is extraordinary or even iconic like to me. He had a great run, and that's about it

GRAND

Of course

He'll be remembered for the hits and great vidyas and performances

and that's about it

He didn't try too hard to make his own lane, he kinda went with the flow his entire career
