Can’t stop, it’s not exactly the truth,
I’ve always been attracted to you.
But I didn’t want to ruin what we had,
Thought of losin you, it made me sad.

Usherrr Baby!
Usher’s new album: Raymond v. Raymond review:
- Monstar - kinda weird lyrics, but the beat is sick; passable intro to the CD - 6/10
- Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home) - superb singing (probably better without Plies), and suggestive lyrics, but good overall - 7/10
- There Goes My Baby - beat fits in perfectly to the lyrics; very Confessions-like - 10/10
- Lil Freak - awesome vocals by both Usher and Nicki Minaj and it really shows the risky and edgy side of Usher - 9/10
- She Don’t Know -good blend of vocals and beats to accompany the album, but somewhat repetitive at times - 7/10
- OMG - basically a filler song and auto-tune brings it down a couple points, but good beats - 7/10
- Mars vs. Venus - slow-tempo song with wonderful lyrics and superb singing; definitely should’ve been on Here I Stand - 8/10
- Pro Lover - beat is off-the-hook and is exactly what you’d expect from the title - 8/10
- Foolin’ Around - the one standout song on the album that can truly be up with the songs from Confessions, ‘nuff said - 10/10
- Papers - well-done all around, many roots to Confessions, but beat not unique to Usher - 9/10
- So Many Girls - catchy beat with smooth vocals, but a little meaningless, but still good - 7/10
- Guilty - beat is really addictive; perhaps not the right song to be in this album, but pretty good - 8/10
- Okay - okay overall, but lyrics is not Usher-worthy and disappointing - 5/10
- Making Love (Into the Night) - okay song overall and really uptight, but in a good way - 7/10
- More - beat-perfect, lyrics-perfect, music video-perfect, superb song - 10/10
In the end: it wasn’t really what I expected; can’t really be considered a sequel to Confessions, but it doesn’t have to because it’s great being a standout album on its own. I recommend listening to all songs to really undertake this Usher experience.

You live in my mind,
So I never feel like I’m alone.
Don’t ever leave the one you love for the one you like because the one you like will leave you for the one they love.
Maybe...just maybe...
And maybe it’s true, I’m stuck up on you.
Maybe there’s a chance that you’re stuck on me too.
So maybe it’s all, it’s all in my head.
Maybe we’re afraid of words we both hadn’t said…
Like I really want you,
I think I need you,
Baby I miss you,
I’m thinking of you…
“But the fact of the matter remains:
If you ain’t walk a mile in my shoes,
And you ain’t lived a day in my life;
You ain’t survive the shit I done survived;
You ain’t had to deal wit the shit I had to deal wit’ homeboy,
You can’t mufuckin’ judge me partner.” —T.I.’s “Ready for Whatever”

Damn this research paper! Even though I’ve done 5.5 pages out of the minimum 7 pages, it sucks to stay up this late. It isn’t even due tomorrow, but I gotta do it because I’ll have a test on Tuesday and Wednesday, so I’ll basically won’t have that much time to work on it. Damn I should’ve started Saturday. Oh well, at least Spring Break is on the horizon soon…Time to sleep now.
Thanks flippride for the follow
You chunky butt.
I have some inner conflict running through my veins that needs resolution.
I’m gonna be pissing a lot of people off soon with my decisions.
Damn, it’s probably my fault that everything’s been tearing apart.
I just can’t compete. I’m sorry. Now everyone needs to get off my back because I’m sick of this bullshit. I don’t need to be worrying about this crap right now.
