In reply to coolness.

Usher taker-uppers are forever talking about how L4M was misjudged and how it was "mostly R&B with only a few pop songs and blah-blah-blah." But the fact of the matter is that those "few pop songs" were treated with more importance than any of the R&B tracks on that album. "Scream" was the song that they tried to promote the album with and got the bigger promotional push, while they only gave half-hearted lipservice to songs like "Lemme See." So Usher still sold out. His idol MJ never treated poppier "Beat It" like it was more important than the R&B "Bille Jean." These past 5-6 years have unmasked a very unflattering revelation about how Usher is basically a trend following panderer and how he basically doesn't have his own sound or style, getting everything he's about from whichever producer he's working with at that moment.
