In reply to Tori.

So just by looking at this trailer, I can see that Usher is portraying this R&B Thug or Bad Boy image to appear trendy and cool. It worked in the early 2000s when he was in his 20's but it's not gonna work now. it's 2018, Usher has kids nows, he's about to turn 40 and the younger generation is into their own R&B Bad Boy: Chris Brown, as well as other male stars like Drake, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber etc. It's not 2004 or 2005, Usher isn't "THE MAN" or the "It Boy" of Hip/Hop & R&B anymore especially when you have younger guys like CB & Drake out.
