MJB discusses her first film, I Can Be Bad All by Myself, her first fragrance, “My Life” and freestyles!

As you should know, Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige released new singles last week.  Jay’s “D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)” set the industry on fire as he slammed musicians for “T-Pain-ing too much” with the excessive use of autotune in new music.  Meanwhile, Mary J. Blige’s fiesty new single, “The One,” features the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul singing with some autotune!  Now, Jay and Mary have always seemed to be good friends, but could this put some bad blood between them?

Personally, I don’t think so.  Blige told Hot 97’s Angie Martinez that it’s simply an effect that she tried out.  In response to criticism, she said “To each his own. Do what you do, because I do what I do.”

From how I see it, Jay was only coming for the people who constantly use autotune - not for artistic purposes like Kanye or Mary, but simply because they have no other choice.  Mary shouldn’t even need to feel offended. So everybody else needs to chill.
