The One

So let get this one out the way…
I recently heard Mary J. Blige new song, “The One” featuring Drake. Now I don’t know about you but Drake is the last person I could picture being on one of Mary’s tracks. (In my opinion Drake is played out and overrated already… Best I Ever Had has been playin for appx. a year now, still no album drop.) But enough about him, lets get back to the track. If I had to rate it on a scale from 1-10 (with 1 being the lowest) I’d rate it a 5. Question: Why??? Answer: Lyrics…GREAT!!! “Let me break it down to you, if you don’t get it. Quality…I’m custom fitted” (you can’t say that don’t go hard…cuz it does) Beat…NICE! Lovin the pop-techno feel it has (clubbin, break dancing vibe). Now you may say well a 5 is average, yea it is…but when has Mary J. Blige done average?? Mary is the Queen of this RnB thing. I mean, how do you go from “Officially Missing You” to “Be Without You” to get to something like “The One”??? idk. Overall I felt like the song wasn’t her style, it doesn’t fit her. I could picture someone young n fresh like Ciara, Rihanna, Keri, or if everything else failed I could even see Dawn from Danity Kane… (haha jus kiddin wit the last one) to do a song like this. But not Mary… I mean Mary has practically lived her life, she found her “one” so why is she on the track? I’ll never know. Jus how I'm feelin about it. My expectations for Mary J. is kinda high so to hear something like this Imma do a Whomp!..Whomp!..Whomp! to "The One". I love Mary as an artist but lately, musically she hasn’t been someone I’m vibin off on the ipod or in my car....
