This week’s classic From The Vault clip is Nivea and Jagged Edge‘s 2002 smash ‘Don’t Mess With My Man’. The song, which peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, serves as the biggest hit of Nivea’s career, earning her a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance By A Duo or Group. Still goes hard today…

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…
