Family Affair

"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" in the US.[citation needed] The single topped the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks from November 3, 2001. It was Blige's first Hot 100 number-one single.  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 that her brother Bruce Miller, Asiah The Continent and Luchi Lodge created the lyrics and melody to. 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.  In 2007, this song was used on a Propel Fitness Water commercial. According to Rolling Stone Dr. Dre earned 2 million dollars in royalties from the mega-hit.  In 2008, for Billboard magazine's 50th Anniversary, "Family Affair" was listed as the 79th-biggest single on the The Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Songs. while at the end of 2009 was named the 12th most successful song from 2000 to 2009, on the Billboard Hot 100 Songs of the Decade.Rolling Stone ranked it number ninety-five on their list of 100 Best Songs of the 2000s decade.  After spending an astonishing 17 weeks at number one, the world wide hit "Family Affair" became the longest running #1 radio song on French Airplay Chart for the 00-09 decade and the longest running #1 hit from a female artist, beating Madonna who previously held the record.  Blige performed this song at WWE's Tribute to the Troops 2011 on December 11th, 2011 and was aired two days later on USA Network.
