MUSIC VIDEO: MARY J. BLIGE – “WHY?” (FT. RICK ROSS)

May 9th, 2012

Mary J. Blige and Rick Ross get classy for a scene in Blige’s new music video, “Why?” straight off of her My Life II… The Journey Continues (Act I) album. The video was completed under the direction of Colin Tiley. Peep the video below. All I know is I want whatever youth juice Mary is drinking. I’m just saying…

    I love how Mary just does Mary and nothing is ever forced. She just shitted all over these r&b singers and bought real music back in the process

    I think Mary is one of the most versatile singers of this generation. She can serve up RnB, rap, gospel, pop and rock. Who else can do that today? This song is amazing and i looooove the video.

    wake up call

    If you cant be mature enough and put everything else aside and recognize what good, quality, classic RnB/Hiphop soul is…then you don’t understand music. This song is a celebration of what music is missing. Yes Mary I dont know why they cant get it right either! But you are showing them how to do it. This song is the essence, the blue print. This woman has done it all truly and come full circle in a genre she created. These girls wish they could come off as authenic, soulful and swagged out with ease. Thank you Mary for bringing back such a classic sound in 2012 with the Boss in tow. Raise ya glass for the queen.

    The Queen of our time

    Mary is what these other R&B girls aspire to be like in the music industry but no one could ever duplicate Mary J Blige. She can ride a beat like no other and has been dropping classics the span of her entire career. 20 years later we got another one. Why is EPIC and she represented like an OG in the video. Aunt Mary never has to force anything and I love her for that. Nothing but respect for the Queen

    When everyone else runs after trends, Mary creates her own. She just set that standard all over again with the Rick Ross song. Mary pulled this from her blue print files and showed these girls what real music is all about. No bullshit, no gimmicks just pure talent. This song is incredible, can’t stop playing it

    Ummm I love the song but wtf does the video have to do with the song? She looks beautiful though.

    • ok

      Ummm I think if you listen to the lyric you should understand that she is singing about a troubled relationship. She starts off in the bed with her man with shit on her mind. So she decides to get up and take herself out to hang with friends. But even while out partying it up, she still has her man on her mind…wondering why they can’t get their shit right. Throw in a few performance shots with Rick and sum it up with a performance scene at the end. It shouldn’t seem that hard to comprehend if your looking and listening to it. Its just enough without being over the top but it is filled with so much swag from both Mary and Rick. Perfect video!

    Okay, I want to say one damn thing, If you don’t like this song or video, you need to get off this site!. Okay, got that off my chest, I’m so proud of Mary. I got tears, it’s like she has been there for me personally since “Real Love”. Cause her and I, We have that right now. And the reason we don’t need to go into her personal life cause her music is that DAMN Good. Holla

    OK

    OK MARY IS THE TRUTH. THIS SONG POPS JUST LIKE MUSIC DID IN THE 90′S. IT HAS THE HUMP TO IT THAT DOESN’T EXIST ANYMORE IN MUSIC. AND THE WAY MARY LACE THAT TRACK WITH HER SOULFUL VOCALS IS INSANE, WHILE RICK IS THE ICING ON THE CAKE.

    • the queen

      You must not own a MJB album to say she only does sad songs. From Love Is All We Need, Everything, All That I Can Say, Family Affair, Love @ 1st Sight, Be Without You, Just Fine, I Am, 25/8 were all hit/lead singles for her and those are just a few. If only the “sad” songs stick out to you then that’s your issue. I suggest you broaden ur listening listening scope. However, Mary is the only artist who take us to the club with some sad lyrics and a dope beat. Just like Real Love and Be Happy, Why is classic Mary. We can feel Mary and her lyrics all while we pop them bottles. Yes Mary, live your life girl you did it again
