Mary J. Blige Covers VIBE Magazine Feb/March 2013 Issue

02/13/2013 •

From ghetto fab to glam, Mary J. Blige’s evolution has been documented. VIBE sent a writer in to talk about her style, but in between bites of crab salad, 20 years worth of substance was served. Check out a couple of excerpts from the interview below:

Let’s talk about current R&B. How do you feel when you turn on the radio? Maybe in 2012, in the middle, I was like, “What is going on? What is this?” Things got worse before they got better. I think things are going in the right direction. I am so proud of what Rihanna is doing.

Wait, really? Yes. She is speaking to her generation, and she’s living her life in front of them. I don’t even think she’s purposely doing it (7). She’s such a beautiful girl, and I don’t think she knows she’s that beautiful (8). She’s just living her life, and leading her generation, and she has great, great songs. Her career is amazing; and her team, obviously, is amazing.
