Album Description

music industry scam

Why is it that we are force by the music industry to listen to artist who obviously have no vocal talent. Ashanti has said in several interviews that she was drop by other labels before being signed to Murder Inc? Obviously other records execs realize the mistake they would make by signing her. This collection is as bad as all of her other music? Collectables.Yeah collectable garbage. She is horrible!!!!!!! August 15, 2006

Camilyan Report

Ashanti is back with her 6th album entitled Collectables By Ashanti. Although Ashanti has not been in the business as long as others, she has managed to produce an album on average every 8 months and that has provided her the ability to publish Collectables by Ashanti. Collectables is much like a Greatest Hits and mix tape. The album contains four newly recorded tracks and six remixes of previously recorded songs.

Her best track on this album has to be "Show You", classic Ashanti, offering her typical catchy chorus, and common lyrics. Collectables by Ashanti also serves as a who's who of hip-hoppers that support Ashanti. "Still Down" has a nice beat and hot cameo from Caddillac Tah, who sounds a lot like TI. Ashanti offers a remix of Focus featuring Free, whose lyrics are tight, but she sounds like a man. Other tracks include Charlie Baltimore, Ja Rule, Black Child and others.

Ashanti could never be compared to others in her genre for her ability to sing but can be for her songwriting skills. She puts emphasis on her inability to sing on "Break Up 2 Make Up" when she makes a wrong turn and strains out a flat note at the end. My heart went out to her because deep down each and every one of us desires to sing well. With that said, the album is a good album to cop if you're an Ashanti fan simply because of its uniqueness; but in all, the album should be slept on by others.

This is Hot!

Collectables is a collection of rare Ashanti remixes. Ashanti's Collectables is an album that features 4 new songs and 6 remixes. Ashanti has only been around for about years, but she has shown the world what she is capable and her talent is incredibly amazing. Her voice can simply blow your mind away and the mixes are really good. I have to say that if she keeps doing her thing she will keep rising. She has the potential to be one of the biggest R&B stars. The album boasts appearances from Ja Rule, Paul Wall, Method Man, Black Child, Merci, Hussein Fatal, Charli Baltimore, Caddilac Tah, and Free formerly of the BET show 106 and Park. The "Rain on Me" Remix is one of the hottest Murder Inc remixes ever. It's one of the reasons you should pick up this CD if you are an Ashanti fan or an R&B fan. One of my favorites include "I found it in you," so mellow and the lyrics are awesome. Another really hot remix on the album is "Rock Wit U (Awww Baby). This is the remix that uses a strong sample from the Michael Jackson song "Rock With You." I have to say that this one is rocking! I love it! I think that this is the best one of all of them! I strongly recommend it! February 21, 2006

Ashanti Did It Again!

Why all the negative comments? I love Ashanti and she can't ever do wrong. Every time she comes out with an album, or featured on someone else's track she blows up. Lloyd's "Southside" flopped but Ashanti stood on top. She came up with Ja Rule, but now people are only talking about her. Just face it, you can't help but love her sexy, smooth, classy, hip style. I love this new album cause it's got some of her best hit singles but with a twist. I like what Irv Gotti did with "Focus" and "Only U". The "Rock Wit U (Aww Baby)" remix is tight too. I never get sick of the original and loved it since it came out on "Chapter II". The four new tracks are cool too. My favorite has gotta be "Still On It" cause it's got Paul Wall & Method Man on it. This song is soooo bad and the beat is bumpin'!! Any Ashanti fan is lost without the "Collectables." I love her!!! February 9, 2006
