what's the 411 download Mary J. Blige Album: «What's the 411 Remix Album» This album is actually one of my favorites of all time. Craig Mack drops a verse on here. Biggie (RIP) drops two verses. Puff is on the intro as well as using a crazy voice during a slamming remix of 'What's The 411' - you see, this was the Bad Boy we all came to grow and love before it became known for it's love of money. It's East Coast/Hip-Hop/R&B with a touch of ghetto fab to the fullest. Only one weak song, "Changes I've Been Going Through. " And Mary - she kills it, and lays out the red carpet for her much touted, 'My Life' in 1994. Especially for the Mary fans who liked the combat boots and the thug girl image, this one is for you. Loved it, loved it, and still love it. Peep her duet with K-Ci, "I Don't Wanna Do Anything Else" produced by DeVante. That makes this album a must have by itself. AND, you'll be surprised to hear drop a then unknown chorus (a full year before he released the actual song) on her remix of "My Love". Heavy starts saying, "I Got Nothin But Love For Ya Baby. ". now isn't that tight? This remix album is not as bad as these pop music fanatics are making it seem. I remember having fond memories of this album when it was out. It was a nice companion piece for What's The 411. The complaint about the DJ intros is stupid because and R&B ran harmonious together and not as divided as they are now. Tracks like My Love(feat Heavy D), Real Love(feat Notorious Big), Reminisce(feat CL Smooth), I Don't Want To Do Anything(feat K-Ci Hailey) are excellent tracks that stand out and remind you why we all fell in love with Mary J Blige in the first place. Sweet Thing, Changes I've Been Through, , What's The 411 and are pretty good remix tracks that give this album replay value. The only questionable track is the remix to You Dont Have To Worry feat Craig Mack. That track will never be better than the original that was off of the Who's The Man soundtrack. Other than that this album is slammin and is recommended to any MJB fans. Standouts: MY LOVE, REAL LOVE(my favorite), REMINISCE, SWEET THING, LOVE NO LIMIT, YOU REMIND ME, I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ELSE and WHAT'S THE 411. Every song is banging. All the contributing artist make this another classic . and Mary, as we all know, is the queen. She shines all by herself. much love. This 1993 remix project gave Mary J. Blige fans a tease before the onslaught of her classic sophomore album, "My Life". While this album was influenced heavily by the remixers, Mary's voice exudes the tracks with warmth and passion. Of the 12 , about half of them come close to the originals. "Real Love" and "What's The 411?" get you bumpin' with ill rap verses from then up-and-comer Notorious B.I.G. (both remixes produced by Sean "Puffy" Combs). "Reminisce" features the slick style of rapper C.L. Smooth. Then "Puffy" Combs returns to remix "Love No Limit" and "You Remind Me". The one remix that truly outshines the original is Teddy Riley's remix of "My Love", featuring Heavy D. The remaining remixes are less than sub-par. The DJ intros could have been left off. However, this was only a sign of things to come for the young Queen of Hip-Hop Soul. A definitive must-buy for any Mary fan young and old. Love my MJB ! I had this CD a long time ago, but it got lost, or stollen, or damaged.. replacing it and listening to again is just great joy! I am so glad I got this to add to my MJB collection again ! MJB is the queen of hip hop, soulfull sounds ! What's the 411? With this cutting-edge debut, Mary J. Blige became the reigning queen of her own hybrid category: hip-hop soul. The eloquence and evocativeness that comes through in her voice, could be neither borrowed nor fabricated, making What's the 411? one of the decade's most explosive, coming- out displays of pure singing prowess. "Real Love" and the gospel-thrusted "Sweet Thing" (the primary reason for all her Chaka Kahn comparisons) are and will remain timeless slices of soul even after their trendiness has worn off, and "You Remind Me" and the duet with 's K-Ci ("I Don't Want to Do Anything") are nearly as affecting in their own right. It's nevertheless unclear how much of the hip-hop swagger in her soul was a genuine expression of Blige's own vision or that of her admittedly fine collaborators (Svengali Sean "Puffy" Combs, R&B producers Dave Hall and DeVante Swing, rap beatsmith Tony Dofat, rapper Grand Puba). Certainly the singer comes across as street-savvy and tough -- "real," in the lingo of the day -- and even tries her hand at rhyming on the title track, but never again would her records lean this heavily on the sonic tricks of the rap trade. In retrospect, it is easier to place the album into the context of her career and, as such, to pinpoint the occasions when it runs wide of the rails. For instance, the synthesizer-heavy backdrops ("Reminisce," "Love No Limit") are sometimes flatter or more plastic than either the songs or Blige's passionate performances deserve, while the answering-machine skits, much-copied in the wake of What's the 411?, haven't worn well as either stand-alone tracks or conceptual segues. In fact, those who prefer their soul more stirring, heart-on-sleeve, or close to the bone would likely find her fluid, powerfully vulnerable next recording (My Life) or one of the consistently strong subsequent efforts that followed it more to their liking. For broad appeal and historical importance, though, What's the 411? is an inarguably paramount and trailblazing achievement. What's the 411? Remix Album. What's the 411?
