Screw all u discouraging Ne-Yo. Libra Scale was not even bad at all. Yeah, Year of the Gentleman had much more classic songs, but that doesn't make Libra Scale a bad album. Yall need to chill with who's better in the R&B community. It ain't a competitive thing. Every artist should give it their best in their work. it's clear to see that Ne-Yo has a different style in his music than most modern R&B artists. Ne-Yo tends to make different sounds of music because he's a songwriter and he writes and records for different genres in music.
