thaFormula.com - Why was "21" chosen to be the new title of your album?

Omarion - 'Cause 21 to me is a milestone in everyone's life. Everyone that is under 21 wants to be 21, everyone that is over 21 remembers what it was like to be 21. It's just a perfect number. You know it's a Blackjack, etc. so you know it's a lot of things.

thaFormula.com - How do you feel about the current state of R&B?

Omarion - I think it's great. I feel that there are a lot of talented young people out there right now that's really doing their thing and I think the current state is dope.

Then to you know Usher is about to come back, Usher is getting ready for his album right now.

Omarion - Sometimes, but its only when I'm like thinking of concepts for like videos, or if I'm like thinking of like what the next single is gonna be like. That's the only time I really listen to my music, but I don't ever just ride and be like bumping Omarion. I think that's pretty corny, like if somebody pulled up on me at the light and I was singing.

thaFormula.com - Many artists out there have their own clothing lines, do you plan on putting out anything like that soon?

Omarion - No not anytime soon, nah. I actually wanna do something different. You know the clothing line thing is what a lot of artists and a lot of people do. You know it's a lucrative business, but I wanna do some video games. I wanna have my own video game, not personally me like an Omarion video game, but like a video game like any other video game. I like creating so you know I want my own videogame.
