Collaborations - The World of Mary J. Blige
Comment:
Hip-Hop taught Mary J. that music is all about collaboration, and the pop icon/B-girl-at-heart is nothing if not a team player. When Method Man asked her to sing the hook for “I’ll Be There for You/You’re All I Need,” he envisioned an eternal pledge of devotion where the crush of poverty and the specter of death were the backdrop of ’hood romance. He got that and a whole lot more. Be sure to check “I Don’t Want to Do Anything,” as Jodeci’s K-Ci Hailey and Mary do it Apollo-style, throwing heads back and testifying with hands in the air from beginning to end. And going toe-to-toe with Bono on a gospel-glorified cover of U2’s hit “One,” Mary pushes past the tears, her voice trembling as it arcs higher and higher, soaring to that place where old spirituals and hymns become balm for the soul. From riffing with childhood idols (Elton John) to honoring her hip-hop roots (50 Cent), we’ve put Mary’s best collaborations where they belong — here at your fingertips.
