Information AboutFamily Affair (mary J. Blige Song) |
This song is not to be confused with the 1971 song " Family Affair " by Sly & The Family Stone . "Family Affair" is a 2001 hit song for Mary J. Blige , produced by Dr. Dre . It was taken from her fifth album, '' No More Drama '' and was responsible for popularizing the terms "hateration" and "dancery" throughout American society, as well as contributing to the popularity of the word "crunk". The music for "Family Affair" was originally created in a jam session between Dr. Dre and musicians Mel-Man , Camara Kambon and Mike Elizondo . Later Blige heard the song and she and her brother Bruce Miller contributed the lyrics and melody. Finally Dr. Dre produced Blige's vocals, but this was done at a distance because at the time he was busy filming the movie '' Training Day ''. The music video was directed by Dave Meyers . The single topped the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks from November 3 , 2001 . It was Blige's first Hot 100 number-one, although she had previously reached number two with "Not Gon' Cry" in 1996.
