Rap-Up.com || Mary J. Blige and Rick Ross Shoot ‘Why’ Video

Fresh off her appearance on “American Idol” this week, Mary J. Blige met up with Rick Ross to shoot the video for “Why,” the new single from her album My Life II… The Journey Continues (Act I). The Bawse looked sharp in a white tuxedo jacket while joining the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul on the West Hollywood set, later posing with his Maybach Music signee Stalley.

“Thank you so much @rickyrozay for coming through for me on the Why video!! I really appreciate you!!” tweeted Mary, to which Rozay responded, “Luv.”

You onviously have no clue what your speaking about. We’re talking about the Queen and RickRozay the ultimate collabo, not to mention that track is fire stay on repeat in my crib, in my V and on da ipod. I Suggest you sit back and buckle your seatbelt because this single about to take off. Great choice Mary i gravitated to it “WHY” first time i heard the album. All hail da Queen.

@VGOD, no disrespect at all cause I LOVE mary but i think she has way stronger singles on her album. I guess we will see. It took mr.wrong a while to take off and that was one of the stronger tracks off the album.

She looks so different, her face is messed up somewhere. This song will FLOP as well. Just like the rest of that boring album. Should have put Nicki on that single, and it might have sold.

Hi .. My name is MinajRules2012
I am a stupid person. I hate myself. I’m a worthless nobody. I am miserable and a liar.
Mary J Blige is the Queen . She will never flop. And Nicki Minaj is a cheap imitation of Lil’ Kim .

Excellent choice Mary! U and Rick…amazing! Mary J Bige is an Icon, A Legend…been doin it 20 years! The album hasn’t flopped stupid, it has passed gold staus on its way to plainum.

Bow down to the #UndisputedQueenofHipHopSoul. Haters wish they could see a multi platinum Grammy award winning artist with an incredible #20 yr solid & consistant career who is still on Billboard breaking records .#Stay mad haters. Go Mary.

First of all I’m glad she picked this song as the next single. It’s an Ultimate banger for this time of the year. Second, to all you Nicki Minaj fans, NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR OPINION. Everything Nicki has done has just been a copy of another female rapper. Mary is and has always been original, so why would she need a SELL-OUT to help her succeed.

P.S. Next single needs to be either Don’t Mind, Love A Woman, or Feel Inside. Just Saying.

Youngsters listen up. Mary is the only artist still doing it after 20 years. Albums consistantly dropping every 2 years!! How many from 1992 are still around amd doing that? Mary is and always will be the truth. I don’t mind the song with Rick Ross coming up now. Might be the summer jam!

Wow Mary!! You always amaze me!!! You have so many fans that have been there with you since day one. Die hard fans that would never let you flop. Mary ahs never made a flop thats “Why” everyone bows to her!!! She has had a number one song and cd with all of her cds. 10 and counting!!! Seriously no one can deny if she continues like this she will out do everyone with the most everything!!!

Hi Mary! I love this blog/site I used to enjoy cooking but I had kids and seem they are soo peciky and never enjoyed fun dinners! Slowly we turned to tacos, sloppy joes, pulled pork sandwiches, French dips, hamburgers, frozen chicken nuggets and well that’s pretty much the extent of my cooking!! Sad huh!??! I did marry someone who LOVES to cook (East Indian & curries his speciality). Glad you had fun in Palm Springs!! My son is now attending college at WSU .it’s hard having him 3000 miles away but I’m looking forward to him flying home to Georgia for Thanksgiving! A quick question .my other son, age 15, tall and thin like his dad is an outstanding basketball player and trying to build muscle mass . Works out every day, lifts weights, is 6’1 and 160 lbs. He’s created these milkshakes and my concern is the high amounts of protein in them. His own recipe is 5 scoops of protein powder, vanilla ice cream, milk, honey, peanut butter, yogurt all blended together. There are 2500 calories in this creation and close to 60 grams of protein. He drinks this nightly before bed. Is all this protein ok/safe for him?? Seems extreme. He wants to gain weight (I should have such worries!! lol) Any thoughts/insight would be appreciated!!Cheers!Jennyne
