Keyshia Cole is often compared to Blige and many fans would agree that she owes her fast trek up the ladder to her because, like the young Blige, Cole's Oakland upbringing left her well acquainted with the streets. Cole's brashness has created a trendy image that fits snugly in today's pop culture. Thus, she fills the gap for that R&B B-girl that was lost when Blige moved to the next rung.

Fifteen years in the making, Blige is a multiplatinum-selling artist who consistently delivers tunes that thrill her fans. She's paved the way for female artists to sing about the sheets and the streets without condemnation. - yvette caslin
