Ashanti: Rock With U

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed
Ashanti's debut was one of my fave albums last year, and one I still play a lot: I'm amazed why more people don't like it, it's a whole CD (or rather the first 12 or so tracks) of the smoothest Irv Gotti shit! So lovely and fine that I don't mind her vocal shortcomings at all.

So, I was totally excited when I discovered she's got a new single out, and... guess what? It sucks. It's R&B album filler tripe, how could she do this to me?!? What a drag.

Anyone else heard it?

*cue the reams of 'it took you this long to figure out Ashanti sucks' complaints*

If the music was lovelier and finer I wouldn't mind her vocal shortcomings, either. As it stands, she's ludicrous and horrid.

(Having said that, "Happy" is almost the jam.)

And the key word in the sentence is, of course, SHIT!
