CRUNKSTER

U Don't Have to Fall

Meanwhile, Usher Raymond, who is KILLING IT CRUNK STYLE on his new joint, "Yeah," (so much so that Julianne Shepherd will hopefully start rubbing on her booty as we speak by sheer mention of the song on some Voodoo Lil Jon nibble), had this to tell us about getting MJ's sloppy seconds:

"To know that I was doing Michael Jackson songs, or songs originally created for Michael? You know they were great records, and regardless to whomever were supposed to sing the records, they were special songs. When they did tell me that these songs were for Michael and he didn't get it or understand it, I was shocked. And I looked forward to my next album because I knew (the Neptunes) would be able to create something specifically for me, based on my situation."

By the way, it should be noted that Usher, in the video for "Yeah," is so goddamn crunk with his choreography, he makes Justin look like a New Englander eating lobster roll on the Cape (while wearing J. Crew sippin' Chardonnay in the 'burbs).
