It's all thanks to Jermaine Dupri.

We Belong Together: Mariah Carey's Collaborators Share Untold Stories Behind 8 Classics
http://www.billboard.com/articles/co...istory-stories
Boy (I Need You)? A classic?
This is a great read though.
Quote:
Rooney: Tommy said, “Man, who could we get to remix this record, bring it to the center of pop and urban?” And without even hesitating, I said Puffy. I knew Puffy from the Uptown days -- since he was an intern for us there.
He's so rude sometimes, but there's a method to his madness. He would just bluntly come in, like, “Oh my god, that's whack -- erase that.” And you're looking at him like, “Who the hell are you? You're not a musician, what the hell do you know. You don’t know **** about music.” But when you backed away from the board, you’d go, “Damn, this **** is alright.” Just raw hip-hop. That's what his ears told him to do, and he did it. You got to respect the ears of someone like Puffy -- he was a consumer more than anything.
First Tommy shot it down. He said, “We need someone more musically inclined.” I said, “Tommy please -- we need the opposite. We need a guy who's going to completely disrespect this record.” That was Puffy in my eyes, all day long. He ran it by Mariah, who loved the idea because she was a huge fan of Puffy's. I reached out to Puff right away, who said, “Absolutely not, she's whack. I'm on a little streak right now.” You know that's the way he talks. He said, “I don't need no whack juice on me right now.”
So I sent him some stuff [about her], and he called me about an hour later, saying, “Yo, you didn't tell me she sold like 28 million records. You think they'd give me $60,000 to produce this?” I said, “Yes, I can get you that, no doubt about it.” Lo and behold, without hesitation, Mariah, Tommy, everybody agreed to give it to him.
He showed up to the studio and within 15 minutes, he said that the first problem with the record, other than all them corny bells and ****, was they looped the wrong part of the sample. That ain’t the hot part. He said you had to get the break part and the drums, that's the part that's hot. Then he did his parts on there ("What you gonna do when you get out of jail/I'm going to do a remix").
Puff had Mariah sing certain things over, but she was never in the studio with him. At the time with Tommy it was like, this was his wife. And it’s young Puff, who's all over the place. Once that came together, the only thing missing was a rapper. Puff said he wasn't going to rap on it, but Mariah suggested ODB, because she loved what he did with SWV. She loved his records, period -- all the Wu-Tang stuff. We would ride around in her limo, and she’d have a little pink boombox, listening to friggin’ ODB records. And the look on Tommy’s face...like, “This is the most ignorant **** ever.” He was miserable. But it's what she loved.

Not Puff being all about the bling, not about the music.

 What was he even talking about though? When I read this I thought the quote was from like 2001 or something. Mess.

Rooney: One night, we went to dinner at Sylvia's in Harlem -- me, Tommy, and Mariah. On our way back, we were riding in the limo and every club, every car was bumping "Fantasy." Mariah put her sunglasses on, and tears came down her cheeks, because she couldn't believe her record was getting played all through the hood. That was the beginning of her not turning back to pop.
She once told me though she was grateful for her success, she would trade in all of her record sales to get the respect that Mary J. Blige got. She said, “Mary doesn't have to sell 28 million records to be respected -- people respect Mary, and I just want to be respected like her.”

And now she is.

Wish: We're actually planning a "Bone Day," a festival that we're going to throw every year in Cleveland, and we were thinking that to make it special, we'd do a [live] collaboration with one of the artists we've worked with over the years. If you're reading this Mariah, make sure you have your ass there!
They better keep wishing

Did we ever have any rumors of Mariah starting to work on her new album at all? I feel so detached from the queen rn

No rumours at all. The last inkling of a true "rumour" was that Diane Warren tweet from August 2015 after her Walk of Fame.
However, her press releases say she's working on music (which technically she always is). The most recent press release from last month for her docu-series says she's working with "top producers and collaborators" though.
