Mary J. Blige - Sincerity (feat. DMX & Nas) {1999}

[@LostWorld135]

‘Sincerity’ is one of Mary’s greatest songs. This beat is hard and no other female singer could’ve hopped on this and made it the hood masterpiece it is

[@jayjay1443]

Facts... Well, maybe Alicia Keys could do a remake of this song. I agree Mary's voice has grittiness that R N B NEEDS right now.

There is no female singer on the planet that can ride a beat like Mary. Her voice blends so beautiful over hip hop tracks and she got the best background vocals.

[@DavidRichardson95]

Mary's hidden gems/deep cuts/collaborations are the best parts of her albums. Her catalog is _that_ deep and this _still_ knocks in 2020. Two of the goats in hip hop with the one of the female goats in R&B. Mary never disappoints.

[@lulanokonwo6274]

[@JIBRIL3]

I remember my O.G. Kenny" Smooth" Kornegay made this track in the studio in NYC, he also was responsible for putting DMX & NAS on the joint together... Classic time in music... I can say, that's why I create music from my own point of view instead of the Industry view. Originality is Everything Mt. Vernon NY. Respresenta!

This...reminds me of sitting by the radio, waiting for one of my favorite DJs from NY to play it so I could press record..now that’s a memory 💯😂

[@staciedraper9343]

Wow yes❤

[@tobyfoster5842]

I recorded it on a blank tape off the radio because the beat and that Nas verse was fire then and now 25 years later!

[@IN_T]

YES a forgotten classic!! This should have been released as a single. The beat was part the dance break in the Deep Inside video.

[@aldeb456]

+N T Exactly!

[@charlita25]

I agree

Such a dark beat and they all killed it. Nas verse is so dope. I remember going to my dads house in the Bronx coming up from Connecticut and listening to this once flex came on.

[@DushawnLomax-jx9xg]

Check out Nautilus by Bob James...They took his beat, added vocals, and painted a picture of absolutely rawness of life and love..

[@TheJdubtrey]

Bob James Nautilus is in a few Hip Hop songs. Eg: Daytona 500

This was all over in summer of 99. We all thought Mary was impacting with a raw hip hop album but she delivered Mary, which was AC r&b , I believe that’s the primary reason why Mary ain’t do as well as her previous albums

I actually love when Mary does her particular brand of runs in that way. It was what made me fall in love with her since What's the 411. Or better yet, she was doing that singing background vocals with Father MC first.
