Usher Pushes Back on the Narrative that R&B Is Dead: “It sounds crazy”

So when I do hear people, even like Puff saying, you know R&B is dead, he sounds nuts to me. It sounds, it sounds, it sounds crazy. You know, especially knowing he was a pioneer in understanding and beneficiary of it. You know, the source that is R&B created the breath of life that was breathed into hip-hop. It wouldn’t be. There would be no hip-hop if there were not R&B, so it’s blasphemous to hear me say, to hear people say anything, especially hip-hop cats, to say anything about R&B.

Usher on Embracing the “King of R&B” Title: “I’ll definitely carry it”

King, whatever you wanna call it. Yeah, I’ve been working to the point where I do own that, and I do deserve that. And I ain’t gonna ask for it no more. You’re gonna give it. Because I did work for it.
