This is Why I lover Her!!!

Ms. Mary J. Blige that is.

Got the new album, Growing Pains off of itunes this morning, and so far the album is definitely a classic, but I mean I didn't have any doubts in the first place, but I will say, that it will probably be one of my favorites. The reviews have been very positive too. Especially in a world where few real artists exist anymore.


And speaking of real artists, I also picked up Lupe Fiasco's new album, The Cool and will definitely listen to it this afternoon, after a few more times of Mary! Happy Early Christmas to me =)

I haven't been into Mary since Share My World. Nothing against her, I really just havent given her much of a chance. Maybe I'll buy this album. Probably not.

Mary J Blige has been linked to classic and timeless music since "What's the 411" her music is both timeless and contemporary. The love of music exudes from her with every note she sings.

Thanks for checking out my blog! I'm loving the new MJB cd as well. It's another classic. She is a legend. She could stop tomorrow and the mark she's left on the music world would never be forgotten. I loved Lupe's first cd. I just wish he'd get some more play. He's so underrated. Superstar is my s*&^! I'll be picking up a copy of his new one real soon.

As always, Mary did her thang with this album.

I'm still not finish with "Just Fine."

Love the whole album, except for two of Neyo's joints. I'm feeling Hurt Again, Smoke, Rose and Come to Me.

I heard Lupe was tight. Gotta get it!

i got it, but i like "Breakthough" more. it's still tight, but has to grow on me more. 'Work That' is off the chain though.

and i've never heard a Lupe Fiasco song, maybe i'll take a test spin on iTunes.

If I listen to "Work in Progress" again, I think my CD will melt.

@ whozhe - run dont walk!

@ mr jones - sorry you're missing the revolution

@ wise - Can I get an Amen!

@ special - I got alicia, although I havn't listened to it that much, but there's room for both of these great singers

@ buddah - i hope she doesn't stop anytime soon, Lupe is different and hot, don't be a stranger

@ unconquerable - i really love 8, 9, and 10!

@ black guy - man, that's the thing with Mary that I've experienced in the past, sometimes her music does have to grow on ya, but I really like this one!

@ that dude - ima prolly wear my ipod out listenin to Mary too!
