JT cool, but Usher was the man

 

[T-K-G]

The one who didnt have a legendary boy band as a springboard

 

[Ziggiy]

Usher easily.


Justin is overrated and lucky he had Timabland in his corner

JT will not win this poll. To be fair though, both of them benefited from GOAT level production in their primes. Usher's easily the better vocalist and far better dancer. JT writes, produces, and plays instruments. He's even written and produced for other artists. Still, I find most of JT's writing to be elementary and at times corny, but it works.

Both of them have made music that I like, but honestly, if Timbaland and The Neptunes never produced a song for JT, I probably would never touch his music. They laced him with GOAT level beats for the majority of his career. His first three albums are remarkable. Usher had a legendary run though with My Way, 8701, and Confessions.

You kinda proved my point though. Timberlake though was laced with GOAT level production values he actually contributed the majority of the groundwork to his success. He wrote and composed each song, Usher on the other hand is doing nothing but reciting words from reference tracks. They're two kinds of artists. Usher is a Pop act in its truest sense, that's partly why I rate him lower.

"Hitting on Usher's Sloppy seconds at a 7-11"? WTF

Usher’s first album(when he was a kid) is better than Timberlake’s entire career, show me one song as good as this
