There is nothing midlevel about deuces take you down or no guidance. Yall are tripping.
Take you down was literally the college anthem lmao.
no guidance was a hit, but it's not standing up to anything i listed from usher, and it was arguably that big because of the drake collab...just because the little segment of people +/-2 years of you was fukking to "take you down" in college doesn't make it an iconic song, it was a song you and your peers loved. lovers & friends was hittin for everyone 12-40 years old, shyt was the college anthem, as well as the HS anthem, as well as the club anthem for people 21-30, as well as the married anthem for people 30-40...
pre rihanna chris brown was a teeny bopper act, for teens and college kids, post rihanna chris brown was about putting out a high volume of cool to dope songs, but they never ascended to that all time/iconic echelon.
i was actually a chris brown stan, so this aint some hate, it's pretty much accepted he's never achieved at the level he was originally set to reach, and it doesn't help that he became the lil wayne of r&b releasing 50-60 songs/year.
chris has a dope catalog, but he would lose to usher, not get washed, but he'd lose. chris needs to battle trey songz, clearly his closest peer
