Regardless of the particular brand, this underground circuit became a bicoastal-and even international-phenomenon by the mid ‘90s, garnering the attention of major record labels.
Following the tradition set by the older DJs, it seemed that everyone had their niche, while following the one uncompromising principle of keeping the listener well in-tuned with the street.ĭoo Wop’s specialty was featuring raw studio freestyles from hardcore artists, while Clue frequently boasted of debuting exclusive new music. At least until my older brother was able to secure a plug that supplied DJ Craig G, DJ S&S, Doo Wop, and DJ Clue mixtapes on a regular basis, circa 1994. Since the 1970s, notable dee jays have always shown great marketing acumen by pushing the culture, so when the new generation of rap acts began to heat up the game around Y2K with a fierce spirit of competitiveness, a superstar DJ emerged not far from hip-hop’s Mecca and dubbed himself “The Drama King.”įor me, growing up about 200 miles south of the Big Apple in Baltimore, MD during the ‘90s, an actual mixtape was as hard to get as a Triple Fat Goose Bomber underneath my Christmas tree. In fact, long before cultural pioneers like the late great Love Bug Starski coined the term hip-hop or the musical genre was branded as rap music, the cool kids of New York City’s five boroughs filled parks and recreational centers just to be in the presence of turntablists such as Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, and Disco King Mario. The record turned out to be a wonderful present to the artist’s fans, while the critics noted the traditionally high level of performance.Unfortunately, we often forget that the very fabric of hip-hop culture was originally woven and, in many cases, remains stitched together not just by the master of ceremonies but largely by the ingenuity of the disc jockey. The musician’s discography was enlarged by a very interesting work titled Versus in 2010. That album turned out to be interesting: Usher got new and fresh sound. The new record Raymond V Raymond was released in 2010. Nevertheless, the songs of this full-length are still hot and danceable, while Usher's vocals are colorful and filled with sweetness. The artist left the image of heart-eater, always being in the center of attention, on this album and tried a new image - of a righteous family man, singing about love to his wife. In June 2008, the new disc by Usher was ready at last and was titled Here I Stand.
In November 2007, their son, Usher Raymond V was given birth. In August 2007, the singer married his beloved Tameka Foster. The release of the next album by Usher was postponed for a long time - due to his acting business and happy family events. It was issued simultaneously with the dance hit Yeah! In September, the charming duet of Usher and Alicia Keys My Boo was performed to the public - it entered the Confessions (Special Edition). The Confessions edition was ready in March 2004. Singles U Remind Me and U Got It Bad could be heard on all the dance floors of the USA when Usher started recording his fourth album. The reworked version of the disc was issued in 2001 and was titled 8701. The next album by Usher was planned to be released under the All About U title, but its first single Pop Ya Collar was a disappointment in the USA and the release was postponed. He also played one of the roles in the Chicago musical, acted in the Texas Rangers and starred in the crime comedy In The Mix in 2005. After this picture, Usher began to develop his acting career simultaneously with the singing one.

Usher demonstrated his acting skills in the Moesha series and got his first serious role in The Faculty film. The same year, Usher already gave performances with such famous colleagues as Janet Jackson and Mary J. Thus, You Make Me Wanna… stayed in the US R&B chart for seventy one week. Disc My Way with sexual hits You Make Me Wanna… and Nice & Slow saw light in 1997 and proved to be a hot thing. By that moment, he made friends with composer and producer Jermaine Dupri, with whom he wrote the part of the material for the album. Having finished the school, Usher began recording his third long-play.
