MARY J. BLIGE “My Life II: the Journey Continues (Act 1)” (Geffen, 3 stars)
Seventeen years ago, Mary J. Blige let loose with the harrowing “My Life.” Filled with raw emotions evoked by an abusive relationship and addictions of all kinds – to say nothing of her personal and professional move from pavement to penthouse – “My Life” set a high bar for all rap/R&B belters.

(ThyBlackMan.com) For the last 15 years rap has evolved from mafia rap of the mid-late 90′s, rap records for the charts in the early 2000′s, and snap music of the mid 2000′s. In the midst of all of that, Shawn Corey Carter, better known as Jay Z, had remained a figure in the rap game. He’s released classic albums (The Blueprint, Reasonable Doubt) landmark songs, (Hard Knock Life, Soon You’ll Understand, Song cry, 99 Problems) and won Grammys and have topped the charts.
