Mary J. Blige - No More Drama | REACTION ❤️

[@popland1977]

Oh My God!! This song is a masterpiece. MJB could have become another casualty to drink and drugs. Her life was spiralling apart, she was heavily depressed and addicted to multiple substances. She released this as her triumphant comeback.

[@tonyj59]

also did you know Mary J. Blige was a victim of the 1980s Crack epidemic... she lived in housing project, gun shot blazing...its amazing she still alive....she turned a negative into a positive...

No matter how many times I watch it, this video still gets me. Mary is the emotive queen. A few things about this track: it was from an album that was released right before 9/11 -- those images of War u see are in reference to the beginning of the war on terror. 2. Mary is close with Diddy & Mariah and this was right around the time they both were going thru their own drama, she asked them to cameo in solidarity. And 3. Don't know if you know this but that melody is from the theme music of an old 90s soap opera "The Young and the Restless" -- when we turned this song on and heard that melody, we knew we were in for some shiet! 😁 Thanks for the vid!

[@lucyscott8796]

@ D Royster ,Just to let you know,The Young And The Restless,started out as a Radio 📻 Soap Opera,before there was television 📺,and just transitioned into T.V.,once they were available,as did many other Soap Opera’s.

[@crfrost13]

She also references the tile "the young and restless"

[@23hknight]

Actually, the Young and Restless is still on and still uses this music

[@kristal9619]

Mary is that PAIN! Look up her story more in depth! From her childhood, her abusive relationship(s), drug use, hell even her recent divorce. She SANGS because she’s been through a lot.

[@kemitamenophis3221]

I love how she sampled "Nadia's Theme" from the soap: "The Young and the Restless"

[@prettygorgeous7989]

I was wondering where I heard that intro from.

[@deesee3622]

Lol the young the restless theme song looping on this

This is my first time seeing you....Man I really love how you break down the whole video along with Mary’s actual gorgeous vocals....(Your attention to detail is amazing).....Mary is very deep...One of my favorite female artists of all time

[@mcmariahmimi]

One of my favorite Mary J songs because of this video. Beautiful. This came out around September 11th so there was an even heavier impact of the song in the time. Mariah and Diddy had been through a lot professionally and personally leading up to this video so the cameo was playing into that. Mary and Mariah did a song called It’s a Wrap, that’s a fun one combining two of my all time favs. You should check out the song My Life from Mary J too. Actually the whole album is amazing.

[@rubyjackson128]

My life was my very first Mary J Blige favorite. The first time i heard 'My Life was at a wedding reception in the early nineties. I've been a fan since!!

[@MichaelF267]

Mary sampled the theme song to the soap opera "the young and the restless", hence the lyric "I was young and restless" She included diddy and mariah carey in the video because they had both recently went through public dramas - diddy with legal troubles from a nightclub shooting. Mariah with her movie and album "glitter"

[@medylemaproductions]

People forget this song was sampled by The Young and The Restless which she made a reference to on the 2nd verse

[@ccrdcd38]

Puffy named her the queen of hip hop soul when he produced her 1st album

[@sunrae7680]

The ONLY thing he was right about.

I first saw Mary sing this was on the Grammys, I was sobbing by the end, pure talent!

[@tonyj59]

Everytime I Here Mary J. Blige No More Drama It Remind me of the young and the restless theme song... when I was 16 years old. I would watch the young and the restless after high school school... thank you for reacting sorry I am ranting.. but it bring back memory of 1996.. thanks you...❤️

[@renee176]

You know when it starts off with "The Young and the Restless" soap opera theme song it's going to be good! From what I understand she was coming combating some on demons in her own life and getting rid of the drama that she was going through. She's saying this song at awards show (not sure if it was the Grammys American music awards or what) and she was singing and crying, the audience was crying, I was at home crying! It was about the best performance I have ever seen during any awards program...ever!!

[@roccoritchie9419]

She’s incredible.

[@tyannadunn843]

I really love how you broke this down! Mary did that

[@BridgettNesby]

This song just gets to me every time! Very emotionally charged! Great song!

[@paulapeaks3382]

That music at the end with the theme song from The Young and the Restless soap opera. If you are fan of The Young and the Restless you know that song by the first couple keys on the piano.

[@robbyb.8905]

She’s known as the queen of hip-hop soul because she along with her then producer P Diddy basically invented the sound. Blending R&B vocals, melodies and cord progressions with hip-hop beats

OMG!! U should have reacted to her singing this song at the Grammy 02’, she set that stage on FIRE!!! I was a senior in high school and I actually cried after that performance

It's an amazing song and I think you would enjoy it very much 😊

This was on the first album after she came out of and abusive relationship with another artist and drug addiction she blossomed after this time in her life

[@tony2fly]

Great reaction! Please react to Mary J Blige "Everything" !

[@rassimow]

Yup. That was a cameo of Mariah. This song and video came out 2001. A year where the world change. That same year Mariah's first starring movie and accompanying album came out. Glitter. It was a tough year for her ( and everyone else in the world ). It was timely and reasonably appropriate for her to join Mary J. Blige in the video because of the message of the song. Mary J. Blige is a Mariah fan and credits her for changing her life and others in the music industry.

MARY J BLIGE IS THE QUEEN OF HIP HOP SOUL

[@bdronn1]

Mary has been through so much in her life. Thats why she is the queen of sound track to her audience life. She releases her pain and her experiences through her music. She is also the queen at pulling at people's heart strings. She is the legendary Mary J. Been in the game for 3 decades or close to 3

[@broque28]

I remember when I first saw this video. It was mid Dec of 2001; when I came home on leave for the first time from the military since starting in July. The first part of the year was very normal, but by the second half it had become very tragic and heartbreaking for just what was going on in the world and my own personal struggles with adapting to a new way of life. This song instantly had an emotional impact on me and was right on time; especially with passing of Aaliyah and Sept 11 happening back to back. I believe Mariah and Diddy were in the video because it was a tough year for them personally as well (Mariah’s mental breakdown and Diddy facing jail time). This song just resonated so much with the time and always hits the same whenever I hear it or see the video for it. This is probably my favorite MJB song and video, nothing short of a legendary impactful moment in music history. ❤️

I Am is a more uptempo song that is about heartbreak if you want a more poppy Mary J tune. She transfers into the pop world very well.

[@jermainetuggle5459]

Mary sings about everyday life plus it has happened to her as well ❤️

[@CliffhangerUnlimited]

The sample on this song is from the TV soap opera young and the restless. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis produced this who also produces for Janet Jackson.

I remember Mary perform this song at the BET or Gramny and this song made her catch the Holy Ghost it was performance of the night 🙌

One of my fave joints by Mary. The song was taken from the Young and the Restless soap opera, classic.

[@worldwidebirthdaycelebrations]

Also, Son, you may not be a soap Opera fan, but the music pays homage to "The Young, and the Restless"! on CBS. God Bless!

[@freddiedavis7076]

If you wanna see a heart gut wrenching emotional yet still relevant movie.. If you haven't already seen it, and can find it.. watch "Imitation of life" the 1959 version. Would love to see a remake of it, with Mary J in it.. I'm a dude, and that song and movie still punch me in the guts...

[@paulapeaks3382]

There was a young lady who sang this song on American Idol a few years back 2016 her name was La'Porsha Renae, she was being abused in her relationship and you can feel and hear all the pain when she sings this song check her out Jack.

[@shaymatthews6585]

this is by far one of my favorites by Mary (and yes affectionately known as The Queen of Hip Hop Soul)... her message is so powerful and my favorite line is... "It's up to us weither we win or lose and I CHOOSE to win" Not saying this song was about a past love (you've also reacted to...K~Ci of Jodeci & later K~Ci & JoJo) but their 10+ year relationship was extremely toxic not to mention her troubled childhood and unfortunately marriage/divorce afterwards. She's extremely relatable and it shows through her music 💕

[@anthonyanderson9303]

Mary J featuring smiff n Wesson - I love you Mary J featuring Nas and DMX - sincerity. Two fire hip hop and r&b collabs.

[@sexypsycho21]

The piano melody and overall melody of the whole song is sampled from the soap opera “The Young and the Restless” theme song... most likely used because soap operas have a lot of drama hence the name no more drama

[@agus-ld4ll]

jack you should react to tell me by groove theory or lady by d'angelo 🦋

[@yolandaperry86]

Mary J is incredible! You should react to some of her other deep songs like Your Child, Deep Inside, Take Me As I Am, Be Happy, Mr Wrong ft Drake, Runaway Love by Ludacris ft Mary J Blige, and 911 by Wyclef Jean ft Mary J Blige. You should also react to some of her songs that don't have videos like My Life. Mary has been through alot in her life from domestic abuse, alcoholism, drug abuse, cheating, divorce, and even suicide attempts but she's always used her voice to help others who may be also going through something. Her voice is powerful and so is her messages. A person may not necessarily be going through what she has been through but everyone can feel her pain because she puts so much emotion into every song. These are some of her deeper songs...she does have some really fun songs too like Family Affair, Just Fine, and The One ft Drake. I hope she makes a song about what's going on in the world right now because a voice like hers is really needed right now. I hope both Mary and Mariah make songs about this scary time we are living in today because the emotion in both of their voices can tell the stories of so many.

Great song and message! Another song of hers that I love is called "Missing You." I personally like the live version a little more than the studio, but they're both beautiful. Edit: someone mentioned "I'm Going Down" and maaaaan that's an amazing song right there. Lots of memories attached to that one.

[@BAMOORE94]

This is when she stopped doing drugs. She meant this song from deep within

[@divahproductions]

Yup that was MARIAH. Mary J Blige asked her to be in this video because Mariah was going through her own drama with her ex husband.

[@jennhurl]

If you really wanna be blown away by this song - watch her sing it LIVE. It's the video where she is in the gold pant suit. In my opinion it is her best live performance ever. ✌ Hope you check it out.

Great song, great reaction. I think most of what I have to eat about the song had already been said a few times in the comments, but I didn't hear anyone mention the fact that this same sample was used in the Big Pun tribute song "Flowers For The Dead" by Tony Sunshine (a member Pun's Terror Squad crew). So that's my addition to the discussion

[@lillianparker8739]

Great rendition of classic song that was sang by 70's group Rolls Royce.

[@joannbrooker9282]

The Queen of Hip Hop/Soul music. For sure. Mary sings with such passion because she has been through some tough times in her life - abuse, etc. She used to date K-Ci from K-Ci and JoJo and allegedly K-Ci was physically abusive towards Queen Mary.
