Was After The Storm ever re-certified? Nope. It finally sold a million copies yet they didn't bother.

After the Storm is such a great album. It's like the hood girl bible to holding down your drug dealer boyfriend.

SWEAR!! I wish Knock Knock would've taken off. That Ye/Missy combo was amazing. I'm glad the album rebounded with U Should've Known Better.

I Wrote This Song and U Should've Known Better endorsed staying down for your man even though he's a drug dealer. Don't Gotta Go Home was the side-chick anthem and basis for THOTs around the world. Like bish, what was the whole purpose of So Gone or Knock, Knock

So Gone and Knock Knock are for when Mo finally had enough after the police have come and raided the house and she had to stash a lil coke in her bra/panties AND then find out he's been seeing some other hoes on the side...and then Go To Bed Mad is when she realizes the diq is too good and go right back to holding him down.

I remember Pulse HATING "Knock Knock". That is my ALL TIME favorite single by her. I was mADDDDDDDDD when it flopped. "So Gone", "U Should've Known Better", and "Don't Go Home" is the holy trinity!! "That's My Man" was also my favorite track. She hasn't come close to making a cohesive and solid album like that one. After the Storm is such a great album. It's like the hood girl bible to holding down your drug dealer boyfriend. I Wrote This Song and U Should've Known Better endorsed staying down for your man even though he's a drug dealer. Every saturday and monday I was on that receiver!!!!!!!!!!

DMX came through with the quotable: Damn, you got me f*cked up and I'm feeling it more Never had a mistress distressed before Come on ma, like it aint that deep Like there aint no love there like I don’t hate that I gotta creep We go to sleep in each others arms And I feel like this is where I belong And if loving you is right then I aint wrong This is the same ol’ song, wife and fam Gotta be a father and husband but I am still ya man Like NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

ATS is easily her masterpiece. I don't expect her to ever come close to it unless she and Shannon split. There was hope when she and Rocko broke up after a decade and two kids but she went and married that rebound dack with the quickness!

RCA has everything lined up for her to drop a new single in the fourth quarter. They want the album released then but that's pushing it since she hasn't stopped recording yet.

The '90s R&B vets take too long to record albums.

The '90s R&B vets take too long to record albums. Its harder for them because their main objective when they record is to make great music, that is better than the classics they already gave us. They can't get away with singing nursery rhymes and getting hits of it, they actually have to BLOW US AWAY. Monica throat is a gift, so she has to give us a gift when it comes to an album, a body of work. She can't get away with giving us a sing along album. The girls and the queens will read her for that, the same queens who don't buy albums. Ya feel me?

Really mad that It All Belongs To Me flopped because Monica sounds INCREDIBLE on it...as does Brandy (naturally) but yeah, such a wasted opportunity and after that, I highly doubt they will collaborate ever again.

I always felt like they were trying to push the idea of their friendship for publicity when they probably just aren't meant to be friends. They don't even follow each other on Twitter anymore.

I def think after the angie martinez interview where monica days she apologized to bran for hitting her was the end of any potential friendship and they just had to fake the funk to continue promoting the song

I thought "It All Belongs To Me" was kind of a let down even after I realized I wasn't getting "The Boy Is Mine"2. I hate to say this but I wouldn't mind if she didn't work all that much with Missy this time around. Sometimes her midtempo sound is kind of tired. Isn't Knock Knock one of her productions? That's one of the only songs I didn't care for on "After The Storm".

"It All Belongs To Me" was complete trash like most of what she served up with that last album. It would take real effort for her to put out a less impressive album this time around.

It All Belongs To Me was such a disaster because they gave two of the best voices in music something that sounded like a leftover from some random R&B newbie like Bridget Kelly. It was so bland and a complete waste of their talents.
Although I do love Brandy taking it home with "AND THAT MAC BOOOOOK."

Rico Love should have never touched IABTM. They could've did something like Monica & Keyshia Cole's Trust.
