Mary J. Blige, Nicki Minaj – Feel Inside [New Music]

UPDATE: Turns out, the song is an incomplete mashup of different projects. So we’ll have to see what, if anything, really comes out of this possible musical partnership.

Veteran Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J. Blige enlists hip hop woman of the hour, Nicki Minaj, for what some are suggesting is the first single from Mary J. Blige’s upcoming release My Life 2. “Feel Inside,” a reworking of Wu-Tang’s “Triumph” track, has Mary belting as only she can, sounding almost a bit vintage.

Nicki Minaj leads off with a quick verse, then jumps in again a little later on, adding her brand of flair to the track. Now, if you know us, we’re totally OK with Nicki Minaj (who was one of our 2010 year-end “5 Reasons Why New York Hip Hop Doesn’t Suck,”) and while her addition to this song is just fine, even us supporters are getting a bit tired of h-h-h-her st-st-st-st-studder effect.

That being said, “Feel Inside,” is a nice joint, with a classic Mary J . Blige feel, we can see this being a decent jump off to her new project. My Life 2 is due out in September.

Recently, Blige was on the set of HSN plugging her fragrant wares, and spoke on several topics. Check the video below.
