They need to kinda lose Mary J's number when they need somebody to do a hook on a hip hop song, they usually come out below average

i aint been feeling the latest either, but everything comes to an end....she's still Mary J....cant take shit from her

she just needs a good cocaine binge and a romantic fling with a nutcase and she'll be back with some of that fire tho

I haven't checked for Mary since like 97 really...

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.

idk who decided 2012 was the year to bring Mary back on hip hop hooks but it was a bad idea

Old Mary is better but I think she's one of R&Bs most overrated singers

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.

Knock_Twice

She still fine as fuck...shit...

I remember the old Mary had AIDS lol

it's like the name "mary j. blige" don't even carry any weight anymore. people only fuck with her cuz of nostalgia

Vader

she needs to get back on drugs

harry knucklez

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 agree on the below average part, this is the last joint i really bumped with her

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

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