After his successful third album 8701, Usher underwent a number of changes in his life including his breakup from his girlfriend Chili from TLC and he was soon to become a father.

II", "My Boo" with Alicia Keys and "Caught Up". The former 4 were all #1 hits on the Billboard Top 100. The album was also boosted by fan favorite album cuts such as "Superstar", "Bad Girl", "Can You Handle It" and "Seduction" (from the expanded version.

Customer Reviews
Hip Hop Nostalgia
The Get Rich or Die Tryin’ episode had me reminiscing about going to Miami in college and every club playing the whole album and celebrating my birthday with In the Club playing in the background.
Giving Big Pun His Due As an Amazing Lyricist
Loved this episode so much because I am probably not the only person who smiles when they hear one of his songs. I loved how the hosts broke down why Pun is still missed because his appeal was wide and his talent had depth. And they certainly could do a whole show on his Norable Quotables.
Great Podcast!!!
Listening to this podcast is like a breath of fresh air to a hip hop head. It brings a reminiscent vibe along with in-depth analysis of the culture. The hosts provide unique perspectives in dialogue that gives the episodes a natural ebb and flow. This isn’t a podcast with guys talking about rap. Socio-economic factors, historical impacts, and other topics are discussed explaining why these albums are considered classic.
