Honestly, it hasn’t been a good couple of years for Usher Raymond. Once the undisputed king of the r&b world, lately Usher’s been struggling, releasing a mediocre album Here I Stand, divorcing his wife and, fittingly, watching his last single Papers fail to make a real impact. Well, if at first you don’t succeed, put T.I. on a track called My Bag. For Usher’s latest attempt at regaining his previous glory the still golden voiced star picks up the pace considerably, vocally swaggering over some pounding, rock-oriented production from the possibly still bankrupt Scott Storch. For his part T.I. drops a decent, jewel-drenched verse, resulting in an overall product that’s perfectly enjoyable, but I don’t think it’s true hit material. Anyone disagree? My Bag is the latest leak off Usher’s upcoming album Raymond vs. Raymond, which Jive is refusing to set a solid release date on (not a good sign). Keep it locked to DJBooth.net for all the latest .

GStan10 Resident DJ Total Ratings: 1315	Rating: GStan10's Top Rated Songs Lots of star power here and a bit of a disappointment. I've dug some rock-oriented productions in the past but I just don't think it sounded great with Usher. The song didn't really captivate me. T.I. was decent and brought this to ratation.

E. Jaffe Resident DJ Total Ratings: 469	Rating: E. Jaffe's Top Rated Songs I like the beat. I like the vocals. I like the guest feature. I don't love it, it just is. I'll put it in rotation. Looks like Usher's album sales will go down a notch with this one; none of the singles are picking up.

To the guy who posted this: please listen to Usher - More. That's Love In This Club material. Granted, this wasn't his year, but he has some bangers out.

Also, you guys are hating I think. This is really catchy, it grows on you. It's lacking that energy, BUT ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A SUMMER HIT. good laid back banger.

"getting male (mail) every day no homo" lol.

JayCL Resident DJ Total Ratings: 735	Rating: JayCL's Top Rated Songs nope, this is not a good sign for usher at all... he needs those classic love jams to get back into the game/ t.i. was decent here though

Nathan S. DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 2478	Rating: Nathan S.'s Top Rated Songs I'm not quite as down on this track as other folks, but I definitely agree it's nothing special. To me Usher sounds like a dad trying to sound like his kids, it just sounds ackward. On a side note, Amerie could have killed this beat.

I'm a faithful usher fan, but it's getting tough to keep the faith.

This is all a bit of a mess to me, it sounds as though they just threw this together for the sake of putting Usher and TI on the same track. The beat is boring and generic, when you have two stars like this on a track, why lay down this garbage. Nothing fresh, nothing getting my head bobbing; disappointed.

Caveat: I'm not hating, I'm just expecting so much from Usher and he has again disappointed.

Aussie_Pride Resident DJ Total Ratings: 1177	Rating: Aussie_Pride's Top Rated Songs I expected a much better track from 3 big names in the business, the production didnt suit Usher at all, though i was thinking halfway through the track that Chris Brown could probably of made a hit record out of it. 2.5

Why does everybody keep sayin Usher fell off? Here I Stand showcased Usher growing up and being a Man that was love wit his family at tha time along great vocals and impeccable song writing. This song is a good song but not single worthy. Papers was crazy, i thought it was go pop. But maybe it didnt because he probably was conflicted on how to shoot the video

mmoore1127 Resident DJ Total Ratings: 727	Rating: mmoore1127's Top Rated Songs Y'all are crazy. Usher flows smoothly over the beat, and T.I. is the perfect guest feature to put it over the top. The track is in pretty heavy rotation on the radio here in Indy, so it has to be making some kind of waves. I just can't believe that USHER of all people can't get an album release date set in stone!
