Not to throw out names but Usher came to my hip hop show at Spa (first nightclub to open back up after 9/11) as did Derek Jeter who brought the entire Staten Island Yankees escorted by the NYPD. I told him in my Brooklyn Cyclones hat as doorman and keeper of the velvet rope, "I'm a Met fan but youse guys can still come in." Telling NYs Finest thanks for their service. The club tacked on Eminem's 8 Mile movie promo to my "job" as promoter. I felt like a bush league nobody as it was now their show not mine. But the artists on stage and DJJ in the booth were all jacked and the place was packed. Star power makes everyone happy 😊. Shout out to Neysa and 00Agents! And check out The Hillfiguz on YouTube "Pain" for a nice taste of my Boys from Brownsville Brooklyn style Rap. Another almost made it in my career of near misses. PAYDAY RECORDS SUCKS! Just ask Jay Z they just couldn't come up with the 60k Dead Presidents... pennywize lb foolish. Hit with the RICO then the repo everything was all good just a (few) weeks ago" Na'mean?
Pretty much omnipresent in every club I went to in Chicago during the mid 2000s. Stone-cold, all-time classic!
Also, 2004 was the year of Usher. He was on top of the Hot 100 for 28 weeks that year! And after "Yeah!" finished its 12-week run at #1, "Burn" immediately took its place and held the top spot for 8 more weeks!
Ditto for Montreal, my hometown! I’m not the biggest fan of Confessions as an album experience, however. I think it’s wildly uneven. But the highlights, including this track, are as good as it gets RE: 2000s R&B.

Star power does indeed make everyone giddy with excitement. Thanks for sharing Steve!
