Mr. Wonder Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 She said that back in 2008 Joejoe Dayz, and Mary J. High couldn't be mainstream if she wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aed05 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Well to be fair, Mary really didn't chase the mainstream. She remained pretty much R&B and the mainstream came around to her. It started in 2001 with "family affair" and peaked in 2005 with the "growing pains". For the most part she really didn't sell out. It was unneccessary for her to name drop though. That was tacky.

aed05 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I didn't say it was shade, I said it was tacky. You don't need to name names to prove a point. She could have said the same thing and never mentioned MC or Beyonce and made the same point. I still love her though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
