Album: The Breakthrough
Artist(s): Mary J. Blige
Official Drop Date: December 20, 2005
Blades: 8.5
Review: Mary’s back and singing about, what else, her struggles in life. Though this may seem repetitive to most it is a tactic that seems to work for her.
Mary’s not playing around with this project. Someone’s come for an award and isn’t leaving without something. She’s done an amazing job. Mary is proving that you can improve and earn the title Queen of Hip Hop.
From the top of the album Mary’s got you bopping your head. From 1991 she’s been on the road of proving she is Hip Hop’s latest Queen. In MJB da MVP, with the help of 50 Cent, she breaks down her journey for all – fans and those that might not know her. This was a good song and was a smart move on the part of the label to make it a single.
A long way from What’s the 411 and we at The Bootlegger’s Chronicles thank you. The light at the end of the tunnel is shinning brighter than ever. Keep up the good work.
8.5 blades for this work.

Ashley Judd seems to have added her happy ass to the long list of folks in denial of the monster that their precious industry (the W.O.S.) has created. Judd has taken it upon herself to reiterate the obvious while ignoring the giant wizard puppeteer behind the puppets.
espite the truth that there are no set programs, more than half of the shows are unconfirmed, the first week or more have only been previews of what MIGHT be shown, and more than half of all television viewers have yet to see anything on the OWN Network, mainstream
2010 has been another year where the WOS Celebs have stepped their game up in the category of bullshit, hot mess, and sloppiness. Yesterday, two WOS young bloods were in battled in another Internet War of Words. Twitter has become the "safe zone" to attack folks behind a computer and have the fans directly involved. Instant bullshit brought to everyone's and anyone's computer screens - whether asked for it or not.
