A Quote by Mary J. Blige

I never do any album to beat it. I do it to extend it. — © Mary J. Blige
I never do any album to beat it. I do it to extend it.
You never know when you put out an album that's unique whether it'll get beat up for it or not.
I've never listened to an album once I've finished it. All I hear is what I should've done different. I beat myself up over it.
I never lost any of my titles. I moved up in weight a few times. At the end of my career, the guys that beat me didn't beat the Jeff Fenech that I know.
We had to create an album where there wasn't one. I never listen to that album [ Music From the Edge of Heaven] because it wasn't an album.
I know six years is a big break. But I never walked away from music. I never released an album because I wanted to do a different album, something I have never done before.
I wouldn't do just a tour, it would have to be an album, and the album would have to beat Pull.
The only album that I listen to upon recording a new one is my 'Cry' album, because sonically, I think it's my best album to date. But other than that, I've never listened to my records, ever.
I want each album to say something different and be accepted better than the last one but I don't have any point to outdo any particular album of mine.
A lot of times, you beat a person who beat a person who can beat you. I mean, it doesn't make any sense.
You shouldn't have any betting in the locker room at all, whether it's baseball or it's horses. You can't beat the horses. You can't beat any kind of gambling because they have the odds.
The bartenders are the regular band of Jack, and the heavenly drummer who looks up to the sky with blue eyes, with a beard, is wailing beer-caps of bottles and jamming on the cash register and everything is going to the beat - It's the beat generation, its béat, it's the beat to keep, it's the beat of the heart, it's being beat and down in the world and like oldtime lowdown.
'Love Letter' is a concept album, and whenever I do a concept album - and I love doing concept albums more than any other kind of album - it allows me to get dressed, in a way, musically.
He [Jimmy Connors] has one weakness. He can never say his opponent played well. That's why it feels good to beat him and that's why other players would rather beat him than any other player.
When you put an album out, you can't do any material from the album if people are paying to see you.
'Welcome to Atlanta' was a song I wanted to do on my first album. The idea was for me and Outkast to do it, but I could never come up with a beat for us to do it. Outkast beats and my beats were very different.
The Re-Up Gang mixtapes are going down in history, man. I still listen to them in my car, and the 'Hell Hath No Fury' album. I tell people all the time that I'll never make another album like that one again. Never!
