Ashanti's Unsung Music Story: (Murda Inc's downfall/50 cent feud, Ashanti vs. Irv Gotti, etc.)

Күн бұрынSupport Ashanti's latest single "Sayless": itunes.apple.com/us/album/say...
A music documentary on Ashanti was highly requested, so I had to do it. Ashanti is a multi-platinum selling R&B singer and songwriter who is most known for her top hits "Foolish", "Always on Time", and "Rock Wit U." Ashanti still holds the world record of having the fastest selling debut album by a female artist (her album "Ashanti" sold 503,000 in the first week). She is the first female artist to have all 3 of her debut songs peak to the top ten Billboard charts, simultaneously. Ashanti's rapid rise to success was followed by a huge obstacle. Her music label Murda Inc, faced several setbacks, including being investigated by the government and being ridiculed by 50 Cent and G-Unit. Ultimately the issues with her label contributed to Ashanti's fall from the top spot.

I also lost mad respect for her as well. So, we have came to the conclusion that J-Lo really can’t sing and she just have a pretty face. Now I’m about to go and listen to J-Lo songs and see if I hear Ashant lol!! This chick used her voice twice, I wouldn’t be surprise she used her voice over other songs. See, women like J-Lo can’t be trusted! Everyone knew she was no good when Sne bounced on Diddy when he was convicted of that incident I believe happened in the club. J-Lo went to acting because her butt can’t sing!!!

At least Ashanti received a Grammy, started her own record label and owns her records masters, and JLo doesn’t have a Grammy. This is why JLo sounds different on every song, because it's always somebody else singing. I love Ashanti, she’s a friend to me with a beautiful voice and personality. If you get to know Ashanti personally she’s one of the most down to earth people in the world. She kicks it with everyday people when most celebrities won’t.

I agree Ashanti with the right machine behind her could have rivaled Beyonce during these times.. If Irv was smart he would have placed his money on her and pushed her to the forefront because Ashanti had that "it" Factor HOWEVER Beyonce was already in line to take over the scene since Destiny's Child. It was inevitable that Beyonce would be the leading lady of RnB.

@DBZAOTA482 Жыл бұрын
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if she pursued that scholarship. On one hand, she wouldn't have to deal with Irv's fuckery, but at the same time, we wouldn't have classics like "Baby" and "Foolish".

The fact that Irv was only salty because she was with Nelly really pisses me off. What a garbage human. And for him to act like she was only out for self while his banged up ship was sinking is so petty. “Oh, boohoo, she left me when things got bad...”. While he handing over her songs to friggin’ JLO?! And not letting her spread her damn wings, making lame-ass choices because to him? She wasn’t an artist. Apparently? She was goddamn property. Just tried to screw that woman’s career all up because you can’t separate business from pleasure. Thank you for this doc. This was enlightening for real.

Ashanti came out a winner at the end of the day. Like Mya, she owns her masters and all of her records. She’s an independent artist who can make more money off of her music. That’s something a lot these artists today don’t have. She OWNS herself which is very important. The more artists who go independent the better.
