Fun fact look at Usher's career with Diddy on his first album and then look at Usher's career take off with JD on his second album just 3 years later. Diddy just assigns producers and writers to his artist then put his name on shittj. JD actually produces the music from arrangement to making his own beats and writing the songs. If Usher had stayed with Diddy he'd be another Danitey Kane, Day 26, B5, Craig Mack, Young Joc, Da Band and countless others.
