When she first dropped I was like 13 and I could immediately identify with her as being a hood chick. She wasn't Whitney or Anita, who I liked, but were totally unrelatable. She was hip hop and r&b. She's real, good behavior or bad. Who's really surprised that someone 50+ doesn't identify with her? I heard all the negative shit from my mom and aunts about how untalented and ghetto she was. But like the article said, it's a generational thing. That’s why I have loved Mary for more than half my life.

If she didnt "care" for MJB then that's her damn business. People need to get off Oprah's dick and go read a book. People are usually remembered for their first impressions and maybe Mary didnt make a good one. But eventually Oprah came around and Im glad that two of the baddest bitches in their respective games are friends. And the only black people who consider or call themselves "niggas" ARE typically of the lower socio-economic ladder; not necessarily financially (50 Cent, Nas, ball players all probably call themselves niggas). But the more intellectual and sophisticated blacks don't say it. You ever hear Cornell West or Michael Eric Dyson call themselves niggas? You think Barack Obama will identify himself as a nigga? And then you "niggas" will say that these people are bourgeois but in reality they know the real connotation of the word People who know better usually DO better.

I love hip hop music....but i love it the way i would love my mom if she were a crack head...you love her to death, and you try to help her but you tell her some shit is unaceptable and embarassing. You have to realize that hearing music that is focusing on materialsim and sexism is going to breed niggas. Nas making an album called Nigger (because im sure righteous nas didn't name it this to sell more records) is going to breed more niggas.
