NPR said there hasn’t been a male R&B superstar since Usher. Is this true?

I see where you got those numbers and they aren't easily verifiable. They don't match straight album sales so they must represent album and single sales. So taking those numbers at face value, it just represents the fact that Chris Brown pumps out more music than Usher. Breezy has 11 albums and 9 mixtapes. Usher has 10 albums and no mixtapes. Samuel L Jackson has sold more movie tickets than Tom Cruise, because Sam simply starred in more movies. Yet, Tom Cruise is still the bigger movie star.
He asked me about CB being blackballing. If CB is able to produce more music, still get grammys nominations and still be apart of projects he isn't blackballed. I know ya'll will completely ignore the context of a conversation just to try to correct a woman and it's so annoying. I'm not changing to context of the conversation because you want attention.

My point still stands. The point we were discussing.

First off, I didn't even disagree with you in my first reply. Regarding your gender, this is the internet. People are better off assuming I'm a fuqqing Transformer than assuming I am who I say I am online. So I'm not sure why you would think I would come at your for being a woman. It just ain't that deep.

Chris brown had the world in his hand and he dropped it when he decided to raise his hand the wrong way on the wrong person. I remember how mtv was hyping him up and that mj tribute at the mtv vmas before the dv incident.

Chris Brown was on his 2nd album then. He arguably has made better music since that unfortunate incident vs what he would have made had that not happened.

He would have been way more guided and cookie cutter if the industry had their way. Instead he's been walking his own path, alot of these songs we enjoy he would've never been allowed to make.

He has 5 Grammys and just did a whole album with Kanye. Also just appeared in the Power universe. But I guess he’s not a superstar.

:mjlol:

Continue talking out of your ass though.




He has 5 Grammys from being the hook man. An album with Kanye 2024 doesn't mean what you think it means. Appearing on Power doesn't make you a superstar.

Ty Dolla Sign isn't a superstar my guy...this isn't the knock you think it is lol
