I love me some Ashanti. She’s always had this humble yet confident plus grace about her. She’s such a smart and positive woman. Most people in the industry always say she looks out & is good people. What a blessing to have access to a spirit like hers.
I have such respect for Ashaanti. She keeps it classy and handles her business. As a result of her beauty, style and femininity she has had to deal with assess like Joe Budden and Wendy Williams. Each time she was strong and she took the higher road. This woman is a talented artist, and a boss and I wish her the best. Love her.
At 1:33 ashanti owned most of her hit songs from the murder ink days ,she wrote them (not all but enough to recieve publishing and writers royalties) at 1:33
For Ashanti being a singer/songwriter, I wonder how she feels about other female artist singing songs they don't write. Does she have a top 5 R&B writer of all time? Which dead artist (any genre) would she bring back to collab with. -Questions I would ask as an interviewer
NotyNoty the same can be said about rappers. Some rappers have that special voice that makes the song sound better. And I know some singers write their own songs but the biggest pop artists usually don't write their own music.
2:44 irv gotti was the opposite of suge knight - irv made sure his artist got their publishing and revieved their credits and longterm money - trust me irv gotti set ashanti up the long way .The Real Mike Wilson
4:49 ashanti didnt recieve a hefty front end advance thats why she walked from deals on the table - if the advance would have been big enough - she would have signed- no doubt
Excellent interview. You know what? I like you, Ashanti. Now, I do not like yo' voice and music, overall, however I do like you. You seem hella coo' and you're hella pretty. When you first came out, I sure did buy yo' first album. It was just fun and catchy music that anyone could bop to. After _Only U,_ a song that I still love, you kinda lost me. You *REALLY* lost me on _The Way That I Love You._ I had to come to grips w/ something, musically. I started being a music fan in 1990. The way music is marketed, promoted and pushed plays a part into the way I consume music. Sure, if I hear something then I either like it or I don't, but for so many years, I've had this thing to where the music's not 100% legit if it's not presented to me w/o a machine. That means, I have to see that it's on a major record label. I have to go into the store and buy the physical copy. I need to see bells & whistles attached. Yeah, this is an ancient way of thinking, but I'm slowly tryna get over it. Now, yo' live performances are kinda sketchy. When it's good, it's *good.* When it's bad, it's _bad._ Whenever you decide to go outside of yo' range, all bets are off. You're typically flat and pitchy. Whenever you're within yo' range, you're smooth sailing. Now, you do not have an incredible voice by any means, however yo' voice is/was good for radio-friendly songs. WOW! I didn't know that 360 record deals were _that_ bad. I mean, DAMN! When it gets so bad to where they're cutting into' yo' merchandising and touring... That's scary. Maybe Master P was right. Maybe it's best to just work a 9 to 5. The independent route isn't for everybody though. It forces you to let to of yo' ego. Some artists aren't ready to do that. Some artists need a label through and through. This is why I encourage all of my favorite artists to *NOT* put out new music. Not until you know deep down inside that it's right. I hate seeing my favorite artists fall flat, especially when they've put in so many years of hard work. Finally, I do not like yo' new single, Ashanti.
Yooo her pen game is crazy!!! She’s written for so many people. Her first album is one of my favorite female R&B albums... so much fire on there🔥🔥🔥

Right

Ashanti has always been humble and warm hearted, I just love her for being the person and woman she is. Keep up the amazing work 💪👍 ❤️
Ashanti's Mama is stunning 😍
Prince sparked that revolution of "owning your masters" he was crucified by the industry for it, he started that movement before any of these artists
Xlover NewmanPro I think it was James Brown and Ray Charles who started that.
My favorite singer I love Ashanti

Still looks the same, aged very well.
I'm tryna give Ashanti a baby and no one can stop me!

For Ashanti being a singer/songwriter, I wonder how she feels about other female artist singing songs they don't write.
Does she have a top 5 R&B writer of all time?
Which dead artist (any genre) would she bring back to collab with.
-Questions I would ask as an interviewer
There have been many artists who write their own music. Whether they write or not, that has nothing to do with their singing ability.
NotyNoty the same can be said about rappers. Some rappers have that special voice that makes the song sound better. And I know some singers write their own songs but the biggest pop artists usually don't write their own music.
At 7:51 she has irv gotti to thank for that
I dont even fuck with social media but was interested. God damn ashanti
😍😘❤
The lady try to shade ashanti on her looks "now she does". Ashanti looks better than you.
van chi
True

Jessica Williams my comment said nothing about talent.
