I love Mary … That’s a great artist. But enough of the woman movement thing/ stuff… There are only men and woman… Transgender/gay included. We all have strength… Man/woman whomever… It’s enough of playing off that… Just sing .. No shade… But many of these woman nowadays lost what a woman was years back… So what’s the real agenda.. Cancer, hiv, drama and issues attack everyone… No shade
I think it might be more geared toward her recent break up. But I hear you…
Agreed man its getting old women run around actting like its still the 1950’s its pathetic and there just scaring away any of the sane intelligent succesful men
Hell yeah got dammit….
MJB needs to put “Way Down” on this album……
Theres a kanye west collab on this album…hopefully he gave mary some soulful shit
Mary that bitch love you baby!
The queen is finally back!
Only losers care for this washed up old hag she swallowed to much Cum her voice gone! This will be her last album…
Why you always hatin’? Stop being an asshole!
Snooze Fest
Iran getting real old that every damn rap album coming out has to make a political statement. Who’s making music that is simply enjoyable for all groups of people that enjoy rap? I know rap has always been political, but it’s overkill now.
Need someone like Ludacris to take over the game. Someone who has dope beats, dope lyrics, dope flow and a fun sound.
But this isn’t a rap album. Issa R&B album.
Mr. West made the cut!!!!
Queen of Hip Hop Soul. Good to see MJB still going strong after 25 years.
MJB then everyone else
The epitome of RnB!!!
