iTunes Review
No one quite knew what hip-hop soul might be when Mary J. Blige's debut appeared in 1992, but the young singer schooled everyone quickly. What's the 411 is R&B with the street edge restored; there is little old-school showbiz in the stripped-down piano-with-beats "Real Love" or the ghetto-ready Quiet Storm of "Slow Down." Blige here is as likely to deliver lyrics in a staccato, rap-informed blitz as she was to drop melismas. This new sound is irresistible, down to its acknowledgement of roots on the Rufus/Chaka Khan oldie "Sweet Thing." With this album, Blige offers the blueprint that many singers would follow over the next years, though no one quite caught her mercurial personal style.

by JarssoNot the right one, I don't like this song there was another song I herd on radio I like I don't know by whom it was song.
Speechless!!!
by sk8boardmic16......................................This album is R&B yo!!!
Classic R&B from the 90's.
by ericfrompittI remember loving Mary J. Blige's breakthrough hit on the mainstream radio stations called "Real Love." She continued the trend of new-jack swing along with artists like TLC and Toni Braxton and En Vogue. The beats were addictive and her voice was filled with soul. There is more to "What's The 411?" then just the radio hits from this album. Some of Diddy (then Puffy)'s earlier work is on here as well as Dave Hall who also produced Mariah Carey's hit "Dreamlover." The best songs on here are "Reminisce", "Real Love" and the cover of "Sweet Thing." Mary J. Blige continues to have one of the best voices in contemporary R&B and gets better with each album. Your MJB collection isn't complete without her debut album... surely a classic R&B album from the early 90's.
