’10 R&B Albums: #1 Usher Raymond v. Raymond

After disappointing fans and critics alike with Here I Stand, Ush reinvigorated everyone’s interest last spring, with his sixth album, Raymond v. Raymond. Unlike its predecessor, Usher got back to what he does best: Make hits. He boasted about his divorce (“Papers”) and newly found bachelor status (“Hey Daddy”.) We’ll forgive you for that terrible Plies verse. With the assistance of Nicki Minaj he turned good girls bad (“Lil Freak”) but kept some at arm’s reach with “There Goes My Baby”. By the turn of the season, Ush cashed out with a lil’ ditty called “OMG”. In the case of Raymond v. Raymond, everyone’s a winner.

Hmm..can’t hate on this one…
I’m sorry but this album is not better than The-Dreams “Love King”! I can’t believe niggas is still sleeping on The-Dreams albums. Love Vs. Money got slept on too! SMH…
Confessions >>>>>>>>>
dope album! “Guilty” with TI is my favorite.
OMG
DJ GOT US FALLING IN LOVE
LIL FREAK
PAPERS
THERE GOES MY BABY
HOT TOTTIE
I agree, this album was a huge success. I don’t expect commenters on a HipHop site to like anything outside of hardcore gangster shit so i’m not even gonna bother arguing with anyone about this. But commercially this album did WELL. And has tracks i play again and again
these lists are gay and wrong
WHAT?!?!? This fuckin album sucked! I quit!
The Dream Love King is way better (cause it is a R&B Album not pop), we Got Tank, We got R.Kelly, Ciara, Keri H, Monica im not saying that all of those albums deserve to be #1 but these albums are R&B, and not that DJ Got Us Falling in Love shiit pop and yeah Love King on my list
this dude went from r&b to pop/electronic so fucking fast. he might as well retire and get cake off beiber since he’s a SELL OUT!
shoulda put erykah at the top, the realest artist our.
The dream by a landslide
THIS YELLOW NIGGA DONE JUMPED OUT THE WINDOW. GO JOIN THE 5,000 BIRDS AND 100,000 FISH
I AIN’T FORGET ABOUT THAT WAVE CAPE WEARING NIGGA TOO. WHATS IS Y’ALL SMOKING ON
I thought it said R&B…………..SMH
B. Dot is officially gay…
The album was okay. Too pop-ish imo.
LMFAO!!! over Janelle? 4real? No Hate but you honestly would put Raymond vs Raymond as an album over Archandroid? *tom jackson voice* C’MON MAN!
That Sade track “Babyfather” killed everrything on the whole Raymond CD
YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT THAT PEEING ON LIL KIDS NIGGA ON THE LIST THAN USHER
Love King by The-Dream > Raymond v. Raymond
All I Want is You by The-Dream > Raymond v. Raymond
Where is The-Dream Love King?????
…Tank and R. Kelly also should have been on the list
Nice R&B album!!
Usher? Really? Over Janelle Monae? HAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Good to see that RR are brave enough to give this mane his props!
This album was Really good. Probably his best after confessions.
Guilty
Hey Daddy (Daddy Home)
There Goes My Baby
Papers
Lil Freak with Nicki Minaj
She Know with Ludacris
Best r&b album ever.
Usher “Raymond V. Raymond” is better than his last 2008 album ‘Here I Stand”.
Ok! Now where is all this coming from? How in the hell did this beat erykah badu, Sade and Janelle Monae? This is an outright display of biasness (if thats a word)! I am so disappointed with these lists. Whoever did this these lists, please tell us the criteria for he ratings because im lost!
Monica definitely should have made the list….
His last two albums suck what the fuck
Here I Stand Wasn’t A Disappointment, for the record. Also the Dreams Love King sucked compared 2 his debut album, Love Hate!
Here Go my List:
Sade > Janelle Monae > Erykah Badu > Monica > R Kelly > Tank > Usher > The Dream > Jazmine Sullivan > Drake > etc.
Wtf.
C’mon son that album was not even close to Janelle’s…wondering if u guys have shit goin on with the majors…
C’mon son that album was not even close to Janelle’s..
Men lie women lie but numbers don’t. In opinionated arguements the fact is, Usher album is one of the albums a top the list because he appealed to more people so he got more support. Dj got us falling in love is not on the Raymond v Raymond LP It’s on the Versus cd. I’m sorry if people couldn’t convince more people to purchase, request or just listen to that Eryka album, it was dope, or that Janae album which was also dope but that Usher along with Alicia Keys ablum has to head the list because of the fact that they were both strong enough albums to continue to generate album buzz and revenue. And both those albums we’re banging
Meant to say Janelle album instead of Janae
am I the only one still trying to find 6-10 of the R and B list? Just sayin
THIS !? over Janelle Monae … ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS , SMDH
terrible album what a joke
FAIL by B. Dot ..
Janelle Monae is Album of the Year! Next is R. Kelly! This album is after Erykah Badu but before Sade..
damn some of the songs do sound good to me i don,t know about anybody else…..and he has great showmanship to go with his status….wihich alot of artist don,t no how to do to keep there fanbase…nouf said thou…..
Your website is called Rap Radar…there is no way you should be doing a top ten of 2010 for R&B because CLEARLY you have no clue in what you are talking about. I love Usher but this CD is not #1..you took hot singles and made them into a #1 album. How do you put this CD above Janelle Monae at all?? How do you not even put Love King by The Dream on here? That CD was better overall than Raymond vs Raymond oh but I forgot Rap Radar doesn’t like the Dream…stick to what you know…Rap..hip hop but leave the R&B lists alone!
yeh this was a dope album from top to bottom…
