Great song and great use of a sample. I think using a sample from a soap for a song called No More Drama is brilliant. Glad they released this right after Family Affair - i think otherwise it would've gone nowhere on pop. MUCH better than single #3 - Rainy Dayz.

This is one of my favorite Mary J. songs. The Y&R sample was totally genius. But Mary's vocals and lyrics were just awesome.
The remix by Thunderpuss with the hip hop break in the middle was just pure perfection.

Hot Diddy Remix... And the live version from the Grammy's was great, too.

I love it. The Thunderpuss Anthem mix kicks ass and the Diddy mix is awesome too.

It was a career making song for Mary and that Grammy performance of it even more emotional...

Does anyone remember Mary J. Blige's song "No More Drama" which sampled the "Young and the Restless" soap opera theme?

I remember how moving it was as a preteen to watch her crying on-screen in the video. She was so sincere in her visual and sonic delivery that it helped propel the otherwise generic/cliché lyrics.
Come to think of it, I really loved all of her videos from the No More Drama and Love & Life albums, especially Rainy Dayz and the cancelled Ooh! (I was lucky enough to catch the Making Of on BET).

I liked this more when it was out than I do now. I prefer the Diddy mix with the Chic sample.

This is one of those songs that I appreciate for existing and it's a very fitting signature song for Mary, but she's had much better.

Completely makes me think of Nadia's Theme and The Young and the Restless for obvious reasons.
No More Drama is very good, but not one of my top favorites from her.

I like the dance mix and the Diddy remix more than the original (which isn't bad or anything).

I don't listen to it too often, but everytime I do I always stop and REALLY listen to it. This was sung with real heart and feeling. I love it.

I'm not a fan of the song itself, but her live performances of it are out of this world.
