20th Anniversary of "On the 6" J-Lo's first album...how far the Latin Pop Diva has come.

J-Lo's first debut album released June 1, 1999 had four singles and hits still are played today on Pop, R&B stations today featured "No Me Ames" ft. Marc Anthony, "If you had my Love", "Let's Get Loud", "Waiting for Tonight", and "Feeling so Good" ft. Fat Joe and the late rapper, Big Pun was one of the biggest Latin Pop albums at the turn of the century. 

You all know I am a big J-Lo fan and have been influenced by many entertaining divas out there. Who inspire us all on how to be fashionable, classy, sophisticated, strong, and hold our own wherever we are dealing with confrontation, challenges, and when we have to rise to the occasion. That’s why I believe I loved her music growing up, what her brand stood for, and how she continues to reinvent herself to keep up with the times and to show that you can still be relevant, interesting, change the music and entertainment industry. All while accomplishing everything and not settling for less ever. Last year she took home a  2018 MTV  Video Vanguard Music Award for her phenomenal career.
The timing for her debut album was perfect. It was as if all of the forces of the music industry came together and she was just destined to become a star. Her acting career was taking off like a rocket, her fashion sense was all over in magazines she was making a name for herself, and then it came out around late 1998 that she was going to be dropping her debut album, “On the 6”. On June 1, 1999 Jennifer Lynn Lopez debuted her album with hits like “Feelin’ So Good” ft. Big Pun and Fat Joe, “Let’s Get Loud”,  “No Me Ames”, and “If you had my love”. Now 20 years later…..
Has anything really changed I don’t believe so she just said to everyone without having to say it verbally…”You think I am just an actress….I am about to show you a Latin American woman from New York City can do it all, and I can wear 4 inch stilettos while making it happen and do backflips,  bachata, and a pirouette. She has a way of making people go “DAMN! I didn’t know….she could do that!”. So I think it’s incredible that after a Puerto Rican girl who started out playing softball as a kid was going to end up breaking records, and has proven I can be “The No Limit Woman”. She doesn’t want to limit herself to anything she’s going to accomplish it all. She has started her own production company, continues to gain many endorsements last year she was just the cover girl for Guess, she just killed the 2019 Met Gala Camp themed event this May, she just got engaged to her true equal and real match A-Rod, and one of her twins Max and Emme are following in her parents footsteps singing now. She was just seen singing one of Alicia Keys’s hit songs, “If I Ain’t Got You”. So now that J-Lo has passed on her amazing genes to her twins. I wonder what’s next will there be more coaching and grooming from her on the hit tv series, “World of Dance” and will there be more books, projects, and films in the future. I can see many more greats coming I don’t think she’s going to slow down until she makes sure that she’s accomplished it all until she reaches even past the pinnacle of her success. Her career will continue to expand because with a woman who is business savvy and an entertainer. There is so much to keep giving and evolving from her. I am looking forward to seeing much more. So in honor of “On the 6” the album dedicated to her Bronx Castle Hill roots and where she came from. Let’s get ready to celebrate and don’t forget…she’s going on tour this year around the country for “It’s My Party” this summer begins in July! Let’s give it up for one of the Puerto Rican Godmother of Entertainment , The Bronx Bombshell, and Latin Pop Queen, JLO!
Don’t forget Hustlers is coming out as well this fall September 13, 2019 starring both Bronx Bombshells JLo and CardiB.
