Word is (from two people I know who are actually in the industry), Babyface is currently sick. Not from CV, just sick at the moment.

hope he’s okay. I’ve seen him in concert twice these past 2 years and dude completely RIPPED it. The amount of hits him and Teddy have would destroy the Internet during a battle.

As much as I rock with Teddy, I think Babyface would take the edge. What would have Teddy looking bulletproof is the work he did on Dangerous but the other part of it is that MJ worked with LA/Babyface during those same recording sessions and didn’t use any of their shyt. Teddy took it to another level with his production on Dangerous and that shyt is literally the apex of New Jack.

He had a bunch of skits getting at Storch that was funny at first but got progressively disrespectful as the battle kept going. He was making fun of Scott’s drug problem he used to have and all that.

Damn how did Scott take it?

quite well. Might have been different if it wasn't on IG in front of thousands.

People are prob gonna chime in and say it's a battle so don't take it seriously and Scott maybe should have expected it but it was awkward, like when someone takes the joke too far and you don't know where to look. If they were already talking shyt then fine but it was good natured and then he kept dropping the skits.

Wouldn’t be surprised if CthaGod was involved too.

Yeah Teddy was trying to go a different way. He said he got someone for CB and Usher but it won’t be each other. Comments speculating that it’ll be JT vs Usher.

I said that before the comments said it. Lol. I honestly wish Ginuwine kept going with his career. He woulda been a perfect match up for Usher.

He also said like I was saying. Chris is not a good match up for Usher.
He said it was too predictable, not that they don’t match up well in general.

but Chris is better off going against his direct competition - Trey Songz, they both in the class after usher and make more sense.

Everyone from Usher’s era fell off unless he goes against Timberlake. R Kelly the only dude who dominated all the same years as Usher and we know 1) kellz would win, 2) he can’t play lol. My last last resort for usher would be Ginuwine.

Yea. I said if Ginuwine kept his career going he would be a good match up for Usher. But yea JT is the best bet for Usher right now. And I don’t think Chris can go hit for hit with Usher like JT could.

JT vs Usher is the matchup that would beat the numbers Pain and Jon brought. That might be 500k-600k easily just off the demographics they both cover
