She just needs a longer break. She's been consistently releasing albums every 2 years since Share My World and apparently she ran out of ideas. Growing Pains was her last fresh-sounding and outstanding album, everything after was Mary recycling same old themes and ideas, only with worse effect.
Old Mary.
She has no more drama and problems to sing about.
That's part of the problem she keep trying to recreate that shit with dumb ass songs like "Mr. Wrong"...she a grown ass married woman...the image don't work no more
Give me that Old hip hop soul, around away girl , sangin from the guts What's the 411, My Life, Share My World, I'm going down, KI-C Hailey what the fuck u done to that girl Mary J Blige all the day of the week over the new Mary. But that's me being selfish, she's happy now and in a better place mentally, spiritually and emotionally.... If I want that old mary I pop in her old cd.
I think her music is still decent. Even if her personal demons made her music better I would never wish for her to go back down that road. She's in a position now to sort of counsel younger girls who look up to her and are going through it.
I break Mary up into three different era's as follows
Mary hungry dealing with some internal issues- What's The 411, My Life, Share My World and Mary = Mary at her best
Mary finding herself and losing the drama= No More Drama, Love & Life= hit & miss Mary
Mary reinventing herself- Breakthrough and Growing Pains = Mary's back
? - Stronger With Each Tear and My Life II = regression with mixed results
^^This pretty much sums up Mary perfectly. And I'm a huge fan of that "hiphop soul/K-Ci beat me up" Mary (1992-97). Everything else is just ok or not that great. But I have to give it up to her for being able to stay relevant and not fade away. She's 20+ years deep in the game and still here.
share my world was the last great mary j album to me but that the breakthrough album was dope as hell too
whats the 411
my Life
share my world
the breakthrough
classics in my ears
that last one was ok i only played it once tho

^^ This right here. I dont think the average fan even knows which album is which. Kind of like Rhianna, they all just run together.
