One has to give it up for R&B singer Teairra Mari, for the 21 year old certainly keeps her name out there. Despite the poor promotion of her ‘At That Point’ project (by her label), the former Jay-Z protegee has linked up with World Star Hip-Hop to bring out viral’s such as this to keep her momentum going.
As for the cover, I actually enjoyed it. Teairra has a great flow, and rode the production seamlessly.
Word of advice though; it sure would help if Ms. Mari switched up her look a bit. I mean a new weave or something. For, she’s looked EXACTLY the same since debuting back in 2004. With the industry now at a place – whether we like it or not – where image is everything, her look comes across a little ‘tired’, which I doubt is doing her any favours on the career tip. After all, there are countless ‘R&B chicks’ who have come and gone over the years rocking the same ‘look’, with little to distinguish them from each other, hence their eventual obscurity.
Just saying…

Jay-z should’ve stuck with her. She can actually sing and i agree, she needs to change up her image a bit.

@Kveich Go do your research and figure out who she is
I personally like her hustle and I think she’s doing a great job of keeping everything afloat. I just wish her label would promote her more and stop waiting till the last moment to cram all this promo in.
I’m kinda upset 4 her because the biggest place to get your music out to the urban crowd is BET and they’re doin’ her so dirty. I remember back in the day, she was on 106 performin’ and stuff and now they tryna hate on her because of bigger and better things. The music industry is just so shady. I’m glad she has the tough skin for it and I am rooting for her.
@HIHIHI this is the first tyme you haven’t mentioned other artists in this post lol and the first tyme I agree with you. She did come out in 2005 and the way this site words things CAN be unprofessional especially the commentary. One minute Sam and Trent argue that success should be BASED on talent and singing, and now they are saying she needs to change her appearance. SMDH make up your minds!

Naw, let her stay in her lane.
I kinda like that she’s doing her – keeping it sexy – especially when every other chick in the game seems to have her face stuck in Gaga or RiRi’s angry cooch…
*Over it*

Well Teairra i want you to be more mainstream R&B rather than do these.
Girl can sing and its like she being wasted and preped for a mixtape rather than an album.
Whoever it was that GrapeJuice should do there research needs to LOOK in the Mirror because Teairra been out since late 04 and her album came out in 05 so check yourself be4 bringing haterade and bitchassness up on this..
This is fast becoming the top blog sites with opinions, interviews and up-to-date news.

@Black
Beyonce, Rihanna, and Gaga have made it so why don’t THEY keep their clothes on? Why is it all of a sudden a crime when this gurl does it? Beyonce is a vocalist and used sex appeal in the beginning to gain more prominence where people could begin to listen to her, but why is she still always half naked? I’ll wait………………….o ok.

Teairra is a cute girl, but someone needs to tap her on the shoulder and break the news that nobody cares for her. All of these videos and she still hasn’t realized that she is as relevant as burnt toast. Yes sweetie it’s over all right. For your record deal.

Ya’ll give such foolish commentary. Just stfu and present the story. Why are you worried about her appearance? Doesn’t Beyonce have the same lace front she’s had for her tour promo in her hair? Hasn’t she BEEN on lace fronts for sum tyme now? ok, so why are you worried about this gurls hair color? Sam, I swear u are HOW U DEWWINNN! She just came out again and you’re already talking about how she’s not changed. U can’t even recall when she came out *05 not 04* and how old she is *22 not 21* Get on it TGJ!
