Mary commands so much respect

Mary commands so much respect because she has stayed Mary while everyone around has gone through different gimmicks, nonsense, etc. While others feed off of egos, corny ass rock beats, house beats, King mags, costumes, etc - Mary is STILL "What's the 411". 25/8!!!!

That's true she has become

That's true she has become such a lady but seeing that was not always the case, l guess there is hope for those that take their clothes off. Cus this bitch did a lot of that when she was drunk and strung out with KCi. So it took her long enough to get it together plus she is known for having a nasty attitude and not being nice. So again your treasure is someone else garbage. Y'all need to stop forcing people down others throat because y'all think their are talented. At the end of the day " talent" is now a very subjective word.

First off Clown, MJB is the greatest at what she does, and true everybody has a past, but this is not about her past, it's about her future. Why don't you let everybody know what happened in your past and let's see if you can be relevant until the end of this post. I hate haters, get a life and a job, do something with your tired and clearly jealous *&^%$

And this is why you cannot

And this is why you cannot allow yourself to be affected by people. No matter how much progress one makes - even when they do not use their progression to condemn others - folk/crabs always have to remind them of what they USED TO BE. I bet if people had a life and focused on their own progression, they would not have enough time to spare on superficial "I remember when" talk.

The word "True Talent and

The word "True Talent and Talent" has now become as overused and annoying as "Hater". Most of you use the word to describe those who you like and admire but really have no idea what the word really means. I hate when a word becomes cool in the urban community, there is no end to its use.

Mary J. Blige has come along

Mary J. Blige has come along way and really is speaking to the people not just us blacks or just woman but to everyone she is the perfect example of us people who gon through insecurities, verbal, physical, sexual, drug abuse and etc. she is very underrated and ppl can't appreciate her gift and talent or respect her growth no matter if you don't like Mary I guarantee that you can relate to something she has in her discography of music she needs more respect I guess ppl don't know REAL greatness when it's in front of their face
