SOHH ATLANTA
The daily pulse of the Atlanta hip-hop scene
112 Disbands, And Usher Acts A Damn Fool Again!!!
Posted on December 6, 2006 5:20 AM
What’s up Family?
Yo I got to admit that I was hella surprised with the responses from yesterday’s Young Jezzy’s post. Who would have thought that there are still some people in my city who can see through the hype of an artist and actually decipher what REAL hip-hop is? No disrespect Jeezy but it is what it is.
Yesterday it was Jagged Edge and now it’s 112. As you all know yesterday I got word that Jagged Edge was dropped from Sony DESPITE their denial. And today I got word from my homegirl Sandra Rose that 112 is one member short as Daron Jones has supposedly left the group. If you don’t know who Daron is â€" he was the one who got the plastic surgery and is the tallest member, (or should I say Ex-member) of the rhythimicly soothing quartet. Though there is no official statement from the melodic southerners as of yet I’m sure we will be hearing more about this in the coming days, so stay tuned.
Usher is getting out of control these days. According to numerous sources who have emailed me, Usher might finally have to answer for his seemingly aggressive ways when it comes to the Atlanta papaparattzi (did I spell that right?). First it was Usher acting a fool earlier this year at one of Jermaine’s honoree events by roughing up famed photographer Sandra Rose. And now he might be facing a legal battle with another photographer who claims that Usher roughed them up at Club Fever last Thursday night. The photographer, who shall remain nameless (you wouldn’t know who they were if I told you anyway), has filed charges after said singer allegedly injured the photographer's hand and broke their camera.
Usher needs to sit his ass down somewhere. Homeboy is lucky that anybody even cares about what he’s doing anymore. His last album was hot -- dare I say a classic, but Usher’s longevity in the game of R&B and Pop music is fleeting. Chris Brown is right on his coat tails, not in terms of success but in terms of interest. He better be glad that anybody gives a damn about what he’s doing. Has anyone heard his newly formed singing group “One Chance� Usher compared their singing ability to that of Boyz II Men, but said the group has the swagger of Jodeci. Please Ush spare us the lackluster talent, and spare them the embarrassment. I’d say they have the vocal ability of H-Town with the swagger of Pretty Ricky. LOL!!
I’ll keep you posted on this story as more develops.
Here is the video of the Snowman and Ludacris’s performances on The Billboard Music Awards last night. This is Ludacris’s fourth primetime television performance for that damn “Money Makerâ€. Am I the only one who holds entertainers to a higher level when it comes to entertaining me? Do something different man I mean really!!!
Oh and by the way,
SOHH Gyant is looking for you!!

Peace!
What it is family? Ok I finally posted something first! How about that. Thanks for stopping by!! Where's your music for "Atlanta's Own?"
I used to like 112, but that pleasure and pain album was a complete let down, besides the you already know jam. I think they will be ok, as long as slim doesn't decide to bounce.
Usher should know how to handle photograpers'...buth then again, look at all the other celebrities that had run-ins with them...I guess they get tired of people taking their pictures, could be very annoying to them!!...
Oh, I forgot, Good morning everyone!!!
Slim defines 112, even though his voice can get real annoying after awhile, soundin like a bitch a lot of the time. I was kinda feelin that Pleasure & Pain with tracks like Nowhere, God Knows, What If, My Mistakes and That's How Close We Are. I was feelin that album, so I hope they don't breakup.
Despite what others (haters) say, I think Jeezy is the truth and one of the few real niggas left. His style is one of a kind, and he can really rip a track. I fucks with his music and will definitely be copping that album on the 12th, cause I Luv It!
Jeezy just needs to stop using that "yeaaaa" that he stole from Freeway. I hope he don't think that nobody don't notice that. But as for 112, they may suffer without Daron. He & Q were responsible for writing/producing most if not all of their tracks. We'll see. only time will tell. But slim's voice annoys the hell out of me.
shit we already knew about
Fuck that "grew up a screw up" is that shit! cant get tired of that real hip hop!
USHER SOLD A MILLION IN A WEEK AND CONFESSIONS SOLD TEN MILLION COPIES. HE HAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. NEVER. CHRIS BROWN IS HOT BUT HE WILL NEVER DO THOSE NUMBERS.
I used to like 112.
I liked pleasure and pain, and i thought alot of people slept on it. Male groups are not in anymore, so no one gave them a shot.
Usher and Chris Brown aint in the same catogory music wise cause i can't say i'll ever buy a Chris Brown CD cause his voice is to high, no male above the age of 20 gonna play that when he tryna get panties off. "confessions" IS a bonifide classic, hands down. Usher has the 20 - 35 age group on lock.
Wud Up Gyant!
Yeah Jeezy is the great pretender! I heard the album and I can't really get with it. Ima need a 'do over' on that!
112 - hhhmmm.... 0h well!
One Chance - no more boy bands!
Usher - that's my dude and I ain't mad at him. Even though he laid hands on peeps - if photographers know that he is an asshole about the pictures - "Stop shooting them" - ddduuuhhh! And why are you so close that he can reach out and grab you? Damn - I have seend photographers in action and they can be rutheless when trying to get that photo and they will take 50 shots of the same damn thing! After 10 shots you should be good!
Usher is going to be very much anticiapted when he decides to get his ass back to work. Chris is next in line to the throne but he got a long way to go to touch Usher. Usher really did not get it perfect til Confessions - so he has had a journey and we are all waiting to see his next move. He has been gone to long!
Luda and that damn stupid ass song!
Usher group "Once Chance" are stra8 trash. One of the members ears are bitten off...and they look dumb jumping around like damn rabbits. He not gonna make no money off of them.
What up, people?
Usher roughed somebody up? LMAOOOOOO! He is like the least thuggish dude on the planet, that shit is hilarious to even think about.
Its true about Daron from 112 leaving the group. He's got a Myspace page and the the chick who "works" it is working hard as fuck trying to get a buzz going about his solo effort. She's got niggas calling into radio stations to request his single and all kinds of shit. Dont know what happened, didnt ask, but 112 will be aight without him, Im sure. They are talented enough to carry off a 3-part harmony.
real talk my nigga Luda iz fuckin nice so stop hatin and who cares about 112 theyre washed anyway,and usher kurkin out on photographers cus hes on a steroid rage,notice he got huge in between albums
112 cant do good without Daron Jones, if you know 112 well you would know that Daron produces, writes and arrange vocals for the group, and I think he is the best singer even if slim is the voice of the groups but I cant imagine a whole album with him singing all the leads.
My boy Daron has mad riffs, range and can go high as M***.Without him 112 is done and it's sad for RnB.
"Usher roughed somebody up? LMAOOOOOO! He is like the least thuggish dude on the planet, that shit is hilarious to even think about."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dig, I couldn't agree with you more. Ursh trying to thug on a photographer is beyond belief. I'm sorry Mr. Raymond but we don't believe you. If they were trying to harm your fam or girl ok. But just trying to be hard when we all know you aren't is unacceptable.
Daron leaving 112 is a huge blow to that group. He was the unsung hero of that group. Slim might have been the voice behind the group, but he was not THE VOICE. Daron wrote, produced and could outblow all of the cats in the group. He played his position that's why they worked, but I can't see him as a solo artist.
I am a fan of 112 so hopefully this isn't true but if it's true good luck to Daron and the rest of the members but as long as they continue to make good music it's all good.
@SOHH Gyant
I wanna know how do you know Daron Jones had plastic surgery and where did he get it @?
Also, I'm not trying to hate but I'm a frequent visitor to sandrarose.com and it seems instead of you writing your own blog, you go over there and take all her stories and just add a couple words. Can you give us something we don't know already???
I can't stand Usher! He's so arrogant. I was in Lenox once, glanced at a 5'3, 112lb. guy sporting the infamous "U" pendant and realized it was him. When I looked a second time to confirm it, he looked like he just KNEW I was going to say something, but I didn't and kept moving past the escalators on my way to 9west.
Plus, if he every reads this: Negro, I was the girlfriend of the guy your bully body guard forced out of a stall at 40/40 so you could take a pee. Not one time did you say anything and allowed it to happen. I haven't purchased Usher CD's since My Way.

I revised my comment, because I got a message for screening, but it posted both anyway. Huh????
Why all young rappers is mad that the public was just reminded of what a good album sounds like, It sounds like dudes is scared they won't sell now becuse they was exposed as clowns...
Ozone: And speaking of Jay, how do you feel about his comeback album?
Bow Wow: I'm not feeling it. All the hype, all the ass kissing, I'm not feeling it you know? It's like, this is supposed to be the best rapper alive, and we're getting this warmed over garbage. That's just how I'm going to put it out there. Plus get this man, get this, Jay's only hot line on the album came from me!
Ozone: From you?
Bow Wow: Yeah like, it was on that track Dig a Hole going at Dipset and all them cats. You know me and some industry *****s was chilling at JD crib or whatever, smoking the dro, sippin' you know how us grown folks do. And um, your boy Jay was there you know, just sweating bullets. I'm thinking, does this cat have to go to the bathroom? Seriously, cat looked like he was about to **** on himself, too much Taco Bell or something. Come to find out he's all worried about Cam and Jim Jones and all them *****s. Some King of New York right?
Anyway, so he's asking everyone how can he can get at these *****s? So, I tell dude this, I'm like it ain't them you need to be worried about, it's the ***** Dame you know? I'm like why kill the puppet and leave Gippeto alive?
why the Fu*k is luda still rockin that fade? He too old for that sh*t. Real Talk... if he went even all over he woulda went platinum.
I used to love me some 112. Well, until they left Badboy(but who didn't leave bad boy Diddy the devil).
Hey Gyant, what if I live in Kennesaw, Georgia? Can I still rep in the talent show?
USHER SOLD A MILLION IN A WEEK AND CONFESSIONS SOLD TEN MILLION COPIES. HE HAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. NEVER. CHRIS BROWN IS HOT BUT HE WILL NEVER DO THOSE NUMBERS.

Chris might not do those numbers, but Usher will never see them again either. Its funny how Confessions sold more in a week then what took his previous attempts took to sell in months. He got lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHRIS HAS USHER'S BLESSING SO WHAT R U TALKING ABOUT..BESIDES SAY GOODBYE WAS NOTHING BUT A 2006 VERSION OF BURN..DON'T BELIEVE JUST LISTEN TO THE DAMN SONG. i LOVE USH'S TALENT BUT HE NEEDS TO FOCUS MORE ON HIS BUSINESS IF THATS WHO HE IS TRYING TO BE..ONE CHANCE IS OK..BUT DAMN WHERE THE HELL IS RICO LOVE..I'M TIRED OF HIS MYSPACE PAGE TALKING ABOUT HE'S COMING SOON..SOON WHEN..AFTER USHER DROPS HIS NEXT ALBUM?
wuteva people says about any star, just remember we helping dem gettin their paper..
For ATL's next hot artist you should check the lyrical dude Medina www.myspace.com/sixmilliondollarman
He is from Jersey but he went to the AUC and he still has a crib in Atl.
He is REALLY the next dude, I work at Interscope and Em and Dre been trying to sign him for 3 years now, check him.
LMFAO at this idiot named Sohh Gyant telling Usher to sit his ass down.
Sit down and do what?? Write blogs like you about stars that are making their own lane while you make blogs about what the need to do.--LMFAO!!
The only one that needs to sit down is you(Sohh Gyant). Usher is an international star and like most he doesn't like the media jumping out of bushes taking unwarranetd pictures of him.
So what is the big deal.
Gyant do me a favor and STFU and stop telling mutli-talented international stars what they need to do.
oh please usher isnt worried about chris brown..if it wasnt for so many younger females thinkin chris was so cute,he wouldnt be where he is...i admit i love say goodbye but chris cant touch usher in talent....that shouldnt even be a debate
and the way the paparazzi acts,im suprised people are shocked that usher did it.i dont blame him at all
GYANT I have to beg to differ with you on the USHER comment, Usher is not going anywhere anytime soon, his mark is made and is here to say with or without Chris Brown... And so what he roughed up them DAMN STALKERS... star or no star they are STILL human and deserve some private time JUST LIKE ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING!
Usher Is Flawless In Everyway!Usher Is The Best At Everything He Does!Usher Is The Best Entertainer Of All Time And Forever!Usher Is Mr.Entertainment The Ultimate Entertainer!The U In Usher Stands For Untouchable!Usher Is Untouchable!What Bitch Post That Dumb Ass Comment.Chris Brown Is A Fuckin Joke.Chris Brown Is A Gay Big Lip,Big Teeth,Ghetto,Yellow,Ignorant,Maggot With Over Sized Clothes On.Chris Brown Sings Like 3 Male Prisoners Is Rapeing The Hell Out Of Him And He Dances Like He's Haveing A Damn Sechure.Barber Bush Can Sing Better Than That Little Dick Bitch Chris Brown So Fuck You And Your Comment If I Every See You I'am Gonna Run Your Ass Over With My Ma's Car And I'am Gonna Sent You Straight To Hell.I'am Not Psyco But I Can Be Bitch.
I have to co-sign with almost everybody. To tell Usher to sit down is like telling Whitney Houston she can't sing. That boy is so talented it's not funny! He has nothing to worry about. Most of these dudes out are trying to be like him. I like Chris Brown but there really is no comparison at all. He has a long way to go to catch up with Usher. Who's to say that Usher won't go 10x plat. again. No one knows that and I'm sure he can do it again. He's talented. I can understand him wanting to beat the shit out of the papparazzi! They are annoying as hell and sometimes people don't want to be bothered. He's not the only to get physical. Try running your ass up on Russell Crowe or Justin Timberlake for that matter!
ya'll need to say more about pretty ricky because they are so damn fine
ya'll need to say more about pretty ricky because they are so damn fine
Young Jezzy needs to go and sit down somewhere.
Who gives a shit about Jagged Edge or shall I say, baby 112? Didn't they have a feud or something going once. I'm mad cause they remade Jodeci's "Come And Talk To Me (Remix)" and fucked it up completely.
As far as 112 goes, they fell off a while ago but Daron's stuff by himself should be interesting. And when did he have plastic surgery?
I could kick Usher's ass, so please! But that's a nice way to get his name back out there. Chris Brown is the future of R&B. He'll catch up to Usher sooner than people think he will.
And how dare you diss H-Town?! They were the shit. But Jodeci rules!
DAMN SOME MANY PEOPLE HATE AND WONDER Y NAS SAYS HIP HOP IS DEAD YALL KIILIN QUIT HATIN
Check Me Out on American Idol Underground or cdbaby.com
Rasta Boi- Unsigned Artist
Usher wouldnt have done that to that photographer if they wasnt messing with him. It was fun to have papaparattzia following him around back then when he was younger.Now he is too busy and he aint got time for all that.They need to leave him alone. And Chris Brown aint got nothing on Usher.
_Dorion
damn....... a whole lotta hating on here!

correction *daron- my bad with i and o being next to each other on the keyboard lol
Usher sit down?
Impossible!!!
Usher is the best thing to hit the music industry in this day and time.
Many people can't do a million in a week. Many can/have try/tried, few have/will succeed/succeeded. Most artist dream of going Diamond. With four albums Usher has done it.
Usher in '07!
It's a good look.
