Mary J. Blige

I'm loving this remix. Just makes me wanna hop around, do the wop, and various other dances that I should be embarrassed to remember. So, what 1990 forgotten hip-hop classic did Swizz Beatz lift this track from? 5 points for title, 5 points for artist, and 15 points for embeded video or mp3. Side note: You guys will rarely hear me singing Lil' Wayne's praises, but he really ripped this one. The swagger jacking was damned good. He really kept the same flow of the... MORE

Two years after The Breakthrough, Mary J. Blige is back. This time the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul has arrived to reassert her womanhood, with an album centered around female empowerment and the ups and downs of her relationships. Such are the usual ingredients of Ms. Blige's albums, but whereas 2005's The Breakthrough marked the initial celebration of putting her troubled past behind her, with 2007's Growing Pains Mary comes across as an assured, grounded and proud woman.

It's a sad fact that some artists create better music when they're not happy. When Mary J. Blige started her career in the early 90s, she was depressed, addicted to drugs, and in an abusive relationship.

Jay & Mary appeared on Letterman Friday (the same day of his wedding with Beyonce) and gave a pretty entertaining interview. Jay discussed why he and R. Kelly's tour didn't work out, and then the two performed "Can't Knock The Hustle".

It's been 5 years since Mary J. Blige performed in the UK and it's apparent that she has been missed.

June: 3 - London O2 Arena 5 - Manchester MEN Arena 6 - Birmingham NEC Tickets go on sale Friday March 14th. "Just Fine" off of Growing Pains:

Lots of new songs being released within the last few days. First up is M.I.A.'s remix of Paper Planes featuring Bun B. of U.G.K. and Rich Boy. M.I.A. doesn't deliver a new verse for the remix, but It's still good stuff.

Second is Kanye West's Rocafella remix of Can't Tell Me Nothin featuring Beanie Sigel and Freeway. It's great to see Kanye and Beanie put their differences aside. The two men had words for each other a few months ago but all appears... MORE

Just Fine is an upbeat dance track off of Mary's upcoming album "Growing Pains" that hits shelves November 27th. A breath of fresh air compared to the usual heavy material Mary puts out.
