This week’s From The Vault clip is Mary J. Blige‘s 1996 smash ‘Not Gon Cry’. Lifted from the ‘Waiting To Exhale’ soundtrack, the video interpolates scenes from the hit movie, focussing visually and lyrically on the storyline of Angela Bassett’s character. Check out the Wayne Maser directed video above…
Classic! Despite being only 7 years old when this came out, this has a lot of nostalgic value for me. I vividly remember jamming to this way back in the day (thanks to my Big Sis, who loved the TLC’s, Jodeci’s and Mary’s – all of who made the 90’s so memorable). R&B at its best.
I love this song SO SO SO SO SO SO SO much…
this song is the TRUTH Mary is at her best when she is in pain , she made me feel her w. this one!!!
YES…..R&B at it’s best…..The 90’s
I love Mary J. Blige and Angela Bassett…The scene in which Bernadine (played by Angela Bassett) burns her husband’s clothes is the scene of all scenes. One of the best ever scenes in cinematic history… This is one of my favourite songs. It has so much feeling.
TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE
i can stand mary j blige. she would suck the life out of a stone…she seems like such a miserable b****, and her songs are about the same damn s***…”aint gon cry” “no more pain” “enough cryin”….she needs to cheer up smh
i meant can’t*
GHETTO B****. SHE LOOKS MORE GHETTO NOW – THE OLDER SHE GETS THE MORE HOOD RAT.
I was only 7 years old too! This was my jam. I always wanted to rock a scarf and some glasses like that. LOL!
Mary is the truth! The one and only queen of hip hop. I love this song. The thing that I love most about Mary is her growth, she went from being the insecure girl from the ghetto, to being the confident strong woman, that knows who she is, that’s the journey of life. Some people never make it that far as we can see.
ooooooh!! LOVE me ma MJB!! she da booooomb!
and LOVE Angie B!!
Mary is always gonna do her thang love me sum mary
♥ it! I also loved Waiting to Exhale. One of the best movies of all times!
I bet it was Kendu who gave her the title of this song AFTER she punched HIM in the face – as we ALL saw on that 2-minute video!

I’m pretty sure the Waiting To Exhale soundtrack dropped in 1995, not 1996. This song was featured in the movie and soundtrack before it was placed on Mary’s Share My World Album.
I was only 7 when this came out too!! ’89 is the best year to be born!
I can’t stand Mary either shes a fake ass b**** i saw her on the soul train award ,i think before the show started its been a couple of years ,I think it was AJ and Free interviewing her and India Irie ,they asked her whose outfit she was wearing ,and she told them .when they switched over and asked India about who made her clothing she turned arond and rolled her eyes,like damn weren’t i more important.hell no b**** it goes both ways f.a.b.(fake ass B****…)
