Perverted Monkstress: I am back, so is MJB w/ a full album preview!
Ok!~ So the Perverted Monk's Voice is back on Blogxilla.com. I gotta apologize...a sista has been goin' through mentally, physically and spiritually. I had to step back access my life and where I am going, stop, and collect myself. Unlike the Xilla...I can't blog and go through at the same time. I am a multi-tasker, but I am not polymorphic....having the ability to change based on the situation. FEEL ME? So, I am taking a quarter off from school, because my five year life plan for 2008-2013 gotta be inked out, I need to finish my '08 business plan, and three other plans coming up in the next 5 years. Because the Crackas (Bad white folks) are working my nerves to the upper eschlon of my nervous system. I need to be on my own and sucking toe only for Crackas that are paying me my service fee.
A contributing light at the end of the. "I need motivation tunnel" is a homegirl I've never met, Mary J. Blige.
"Just Fine," reinserted my lifelong Mantra that I had lost somewhere this year. I lost focus. People were trying to run the Spirit that makes Vanessa aka the Perverted Monk who she is! Can I say I love this woman (No homo) for choosing this song for her album and singing it like she has lost her mind!
This woman and I must be on the same trekk in life (except she has $$$$$'s and I got $) because everytime she releases an album...she is singing my life with her words; healing me softly with her song; telling my whole life with her words (She was). So, I guess you can call this an electronic Boot Leg I prefer the term "Preview!" If you haven't heard the album it is too hot for words. Tracks 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 speaks to me about me. Remember her new album release is tomorrow (12/18/2007) ! Best Buy New Music Tuesday....hook it up.
DO I SMELL GRAMMY RAIN??
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TRACK(s)?

I feel you. It seems like MJB has always dropped an album when I needed her ghetto wisdom.
My favorite tracks are 1,2,9,10,11,12,14.

You are right Cassandra it is ghetto wisdoms that makes so much dang sense. You feel like "Dang! This is too damn common to be sense!"

I'm disappointed in this album...Its lacking in many ways to me...I love "Just Fine", I'm also feeling "What is Love" and "Roses" is cool too...but I'm used to liking every track on a MJB album and this not one of those times. Seems like a lot her the soulful Mary is missing in this project.

I am not disappointed in the album, but I will agree that she would normally have more soulful tracks. Howtheeever, I think you have to consider MJB's growth in the industry where she was labeled the R&B/HipHop Queen then she did that live show with with Elton John on that piano (I think it was No More Drama), that exposed her to another audience who heard of MJB, but probably didn't listen to her music. Even on her last album the track with Bono from U2 was a break from the norm. I think Mary is doing now, what Whitney Houston during her career, only backwards. Whitney started out POP and became more R&Bish later in her career; whereas, Mary started out R&B and has started infusing pop sounds in some songs. Ya know that's just my humble opinion.
