‘Sincerity’ is one of Mary’s greatest songs. This beat is hard and no other female singer could’ve hopped on this and made it the hood masterpiece it is
There is no female singer on the planet that can ride a beat like Mary. Her voice blends so beautiful over hip hop tracks and she got the best background vocals.
@@jrbrawlersgaming1816 I stay listening to music from the late 70s to the late 90s(with a few exceptions)everything that's on the radio is straight garbage🍵👀💯
Mary's hidden gems/deep cuts/collaborations are the best parts of her albums. Her catalog is _that_ deep and this _still_ knocks in 2020. Two of the goats in hip hop with the one of the female goats in R&B. Mary never disappoints.

I remember my O.G. Kenny" Smooth" Kornegay made this track in the studio in NYC, he also was responsible for putting DMX & NAS on the joint together... Classic time in music... I can say, that's why I create music from my own point of view instead of the Industry view. Originality is Everything Mt. Vernon NY. Respresenta!
Such a dark beat and they all killed it. Nas verse is so dope. I remember going to my dads house in the Bronx coming up from Connecticut and listening to this once flex came on.
SMH...This beat is HOT. Back in the day when I would watch Mary J. Blige's Deep Inside video and this part would come on my neck would nod so hard...lol. Classic beat and nice song.
This was all over in summer of 99. We all thought Mary was impacting with a raw hip hop album but she delivered Mary, which was AC r&b , I believe that’s the primary reason why Mary ain’t do as well as her previous albums
You know what struck me about this track? The way X came off smooth like Nas and Nas went H.A.M like X. "So I turned cold givin 'em hard d****** straight to the hole, like Rod Strickland it was taking its toll" Nasir Jones SNAPPED on this sum'bitch!!! 23 yrs later and STILL VALID
they should have did a video. I remember Mary, was in Detroit on fm 98 wjlb and was doing an interview and debuted the song. The city went crazy! Miss those days
I actually love when Mary does her particular brand of runs in that way. It was what made me fall in love with her since What's the 411. Or better yet, she was doing that singing background vocals with Father MC first.
UNfortunately, most people are charming, which can yield false outcomes. Whereas, sincerity is TRIED & TRUE... Good, bad, or indifferent. I choose SINCERITY anyday vs CHARM... IJS, they are not always one and the same!
Listen!!!!! I'm so glad I was able to winess this gem 💎 of a collab. This will always be the one I keep coming to... S/O to the old heads (late 30s and up) we had *THE BEST MUSIC/ARTISTS*
I was just going to say the same thing, I remember living by my radio tryna tape it when I was younger. I love MJB and I think this is one of her best, its so raw.
Still valid in 2024. Mary's Deep Cuts/Hidden Gems game is not to be trifled with. This was truly a hood classic we never knew we needed but glad that we got.
Havent heard this song in 10 years and i was jamming the fuck out of it today not missing a beat. singing my ass off. Mary, you need better management girl, u got jewels that could have been bangers.
that Bob James sample is RIDIC!!! he performs at the blue note in new york city monday january 24th with slick rick and talib kweli and IMA BE THERE YA'LL NEED TO COME TOO TWO SHOWS!!

Facts... Well, maybe Alicia Keys could do a remake of this song. I agree Mary's voice has grittiness that R N B NEEDS right now.
Just Jay Lol Alicia Keyssss?
Just Jay sorry, not even!
@@taystiecummings right
Well, apparently Miss Jones could have. Just learned Puff jacked her style for the 411 remix album 😩

Mary Khan Facts!
So true
Facts
This song is the crack cocaine of music, very addictive.
Faith evans
RIP DMX 👏🏾💔💐
A unique & necessary voice in Hip Hop!
18 YEARS-OLD AND STILL BETTER THAN THE TRASH ON THE RADIO NOW!
🤔
I stay bumping this like it just came out..everybody clowned on this beat but Nas really shined👑👍🏾

HELL FUCKING YEAR!
This was never released officially great song and you are right
DMX + NAS= CLASSIC

Nas and DMX? For real family? How you gonna put them over the QUEEN? Her voice brings chills down a nigga back.
RiP to a hip hop icon
Mary J + Nas + DMX = Classic

You mean the greatest female in rnb

This...reminds me of sitting by the radio, waiting for one of my favorite DJs from NY to play it so I could press record..now that’s a memory 💯😂
Wow yes❤
I recorded it on a blank tape off the radio because the beat and that Nas verse was fire then and now 25 years later!
I remember my O.G. Kenny" Smooth" Kornegay made this track in the studio in NYC, he also was responsible for putting DMX & NAS on the joint together... Classic time in music... I can say, that's why I create music from my own point of view instead of the Industry view. Originality is Everything
Mt. Vernon NY. Respresenta!
This is some good ol new york city music here...
The sounds is so important New York needs it back
You were there when that song was made? Lucky man
Yea man, the vibe was incredible! Wish i could rewind time homie!
Really nice man.
The fact that she got Nas and DMX on this track,Nas’s character name on the movie Belly was Sincere.Such a fire Easter egg 🔥🔥🔥
YES a forgotten classic!! This should have been released as a single. The beat was part the dance break in the Deep Inside video.
+N T Exactly!
I agree
Indy T there’s a full video that is black and white featuring DMX and Nas. I cannot find it.
I think it was released as a promo single
RIGHT
This beat kept me awake for the last 3 hrs. And I finally found it.... Thank god for the Internet!
whats the beat
ummm....this is the beat lol.
yeah....... that's what I was thinkin
Word up!!
K
Still one of my favorite songs 21 years later! I was 20 when this came out. RIP DMX 🙏🏽
This beat is so unconventional, yet so fire 🔥. Rest in power DMX!
Bob James Nautilus sample.
Such a dark beat and they all killed it. Nas verse is so dope. I remember going to my dads house in the Bronx coming up from Connecticut and listening to this once flex came on.
Check out Nautilus by Bob James...They took his beat, added vocals, and painted a picture of absolutely rawness of life and love..
Bob James Nautilus is in a few Hip Hop songs. Eg: Daytona 500
One time on Metro North on my way to CT, I kept listening to this and several other MJB songs
How Mary get tommy bunz and sincere on a record tho? 🤷🏽♂️
When DMX...was DMX
Always was
@@RelentlessPedigree meaning in his prime, before he got laced up no disrespect intended
Now he’s “Ready to meet him”
@@cdocker3070we was always “laced”
2023 still 🔥
Chip tooth don
Nasty...
Blue-ice Timbs on
Songs like this is why she’s the Queen Of Hip Hop Soul!! Classic Mary, Nas & DMX 1999
Mary J + Nas + DMX = Classic
This shit crazy man. Underrated classic.
💖New York has a very distinct sound. You absolutely CANNOT fuck with it 💖
This shit was HARD BACK THEN! Shill hard 20 years later
Flex dropped like 1000 bombs on this song
Kwene Key 😂😂😂😂😂😂 he sure did
I remember that like yesterday living in NYC hearing it the first day it was on the radio... flex wouldnt let the song play lol
It's a New York thing 😉
Lol.
Facts when radio was like tv
Yes this newyork feel
Still KNOCKIN 2023 Mary!!!! #longlivemaryj
I heard this joint driving home one Saturday night years ago. Jaw dropped lol. #nas
SMH...This beat is HOT. Back in the day when I would watch Mary J. Blige's Deep Inside video and this part would come on my neck would nod so hard...lol. Classic beat and nice song.
Mary just drop a hood video to this dancin riding in a classic cheavy
Remember this back in the Summer of 1999.Right before I went to college.👍🏾
one thing im not is weak, ill always stand alone, but my heart is not made of out stone so go on.
*but my heart is not made of stones for you to walk all over on....
Yes! Get intew Queen Mary!
This song is my current mood
This was all over in summer of 99. We all thought Mary was impacting with a raw hip hop album but she delivered Mary, which was AC r&b , I believe that’s the primary reason why Mary ain’t do as well as her previous albums
Marvin Williams what’s AC?
adult contemporary
Give me someone I could trust not just a hotty to bone......does she love Escobar or love Nasir Jones 💯
T TYME one of the dopest lines he ever said!!✊🏽
@@marlenagaines3080 and for you to recognize that u a real 1 💯🙏 stay safe luv
This is an underrated CLASSIC!!!
Mary’s voice is mesmerizing. I love this woman so much
Bob James- Nautilus
Joint been sampled so many times...classic
Rza sampled it too. But it was genius for a classic rnb hood anthem.
Best Bob James Nautilus sample ive ever heard
RE White Jeru the Damaja- My Mind Spray is a good use of it too
Daytona 500 isn’t bad …but I agree.
This song STILL goes HAM.
You know what struck me about this track? The way X came off smooth like Nas and Nas went H.A.M like X. "So I turned cold givin 'em hard d****** straight to the hole, like Rod Strickland it was taking its toll" Nasir Jones SNAPPED on this sum'bitch!!! 23 yrs later and STILL VALID
Mary gives me chills everytime.
CLASSIC... 3 Hip Hop Legends! What an hypnotic and deep sound and dope at the same time.. I LOVE this song!
they should have did a video. I remember Mary, was in Detroit on fm 98 wjlb and was doing an interview and debuted the song. The city went crazy! Miss those days
If there was a music video for this one, I probably think that either Hype Williams or Eif Rivera would be directing it.
@@eleven.29 Or Little X
Classic music. RIP DMX, thank you.
why nas slay this so badly god damn
At 4 minutes and 2 seconds.. The way her voice sounded when she started singing. 😲
I actually love when Mary does her particular brand of runs in that way. It was what made me fall in love with her since What's the 411. Or better yet, she was doing that singing background vocals with Father MC first.

Alot of people dont understand the value of sincerity
You put this so beautifully!!❤️🗣
They can't be the same, one is fake. Eloquence, well spoken.
@@douganthony1845 TY... Well, charm can be sincere if the charm is rooted in truth💪🏿
Listen!!!!! I'm so glad I was able to winess this gem 💎 of a collab. This will always be the one I keep coming to...

Rest in power DMX
DMX “smooth” flow doesn’t get enough credit.
You not from nyc if you wasnt tuning in at 11pm just to here this on wbls and hot 97
I'm not but was there every summer as a child and will never forget when this was spinning all summer. My jam!💯💯
This song doesn’t get enough credit … #LEGENDS
I just walked to 125th & Lex while playing this. Looking around, me this could've been a soundtrack to a movie
This is one of my all time favorite songs. I can't find it on Spotify sadly...
Music Choice brought me here! I haven't heard this song in years. Definitely a headbanger!!! Rest in Power DMX!!!
I had this on vinyl along with instrumental. Makes me wish I had still had it. Classic hip hop times.
I found a few on Amazon and Ebay if you haven't already...
