I’m not sure what Ashanti was thinking about, but I really believe that this is a poor return to the scene. There are so many other things going on with music (even if it is stuff redone from the 80′s) right now and she chooses to pretty much take an entire chorus from a rap song and try to flip it and make it an R&B track? I really thought that after hearing “My Number, Babe,” Ashanti was going come up with something more than the typical mid-tempo track with a featuring by Jim Jones (that’s right, let’s all hop on the band-wagon). I don’t know, this is a tad bit disappointing. Her writing’s also usually a little better. I can’t see myself riding or clubbing to this. But hey, you be the judge…
Ashanti feat. Jim Jones – You Can’t Deny It (Ridah) (full) – download / alternate
Ashanti’s a RIDAH’s, yall! The joint is HOTTTT!
What’s up with her using Jigga’s infamous, throat clearing sound(Uh huh uh uhh) in the beginning? Ironic considering Jim Jones in the song.
(Men on Film on In Living Color: “Hated It!” 3 snaps a circle and 2 thumbs down!)
I’m halfway through the song and it cool but I’m SICK of Jim Jones saying BALLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN on every damn song now. STFU dirt ball!
I like this song even though its unoriginal……Ashanti needs to come back hard and step her game up. I’m still a fan of hers lol and I think she’s very talented (haters please don’t jump on my back) as a singer (yes she can sing LIVE!) and songwriter (Brian how do you know she wrote this song?)
i don’t get it? ridah?
It is unoriginal, but it is better than most of the crap I heard…. but I do like. To me, Shanti has been kinda hood since she’s been in the scene, but that’s just me…
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ASHANTI she alwais had great songs but, JIM JONES need to shut the fuck up foreal i hate dat fag! him and the rest of his mothafuckin crew, actualkly wait, i love the diplomats its jus him i can’t stand ewwww anywho BIG UPS to ashanti.
I LIKE IT.
HOT! This is just the beginning!
I can’t believe people are feeling this song! Ashanti has done wayyyyyy better! I once thought she was so creative and talented. This song sounds like all the rest of the cross-over pop ish out today. Nothing special at all. People just feel it because it is familiar and has a catchy hook. Not good enough…it just isn’t.
The song is not her new single it’s just something that got leaked without her permission.
R&B just had a fatal heart attack! Is she tryin to be a rapper or a singer? And no her lyrics were never good example: “Aah baby! Ooh Baby! Aah Baby!” No Ashanti 15 minutes of fame are up along with Jim Jones’ mouth full of grapes soundin ass!
Someone please bring back R&B!
R.I.P. 2006-2007
Right it’s not a single. It might not even be on the album, don’t get worked ^ over this song.
I like it.
I think it is something to get a buzz going. Something to let folks know she is coming back.
I don’t think it is first single material, it is not polished enuff.
People don’t forget she has a song with Snoop that is said to be crazy so I don’t think she will come out the gate with Jim Jones, this sounds more like a mix tape single
This song is awful, I mean if Ashanti samples another rap song I’m going to go crazy. Foolish was good but this is a little over the top. Since when was she a “rida” and so gangsta all of a sudden, you date Nelly and think you are something that you are not. I can’t even see her singing a song like this. I hope this is not her first single or its gonna be another Concrete Rose FLOP!
Concrete Rose went platinum.
I hope this aint her first single that would be BANANAS
I would like it if it was more original but it aint wack
~B~
I don’t know why y’all suprised. u know shanti is so gangsta since them murda inc days. She never tried to come off as a true pop artist. But this does sound like mixtape material so i’ll let this past.
Oh and i love jim jones with his sexy bowlegged ass! Go Dips!
I like it But I am feeling a bit Bitchy tonight so the song hit the spot.
it does sound like its just a little mixtape thing. But if this is what she’s tring to get people “hyped up” with… I think it’s a failure. I’m not a big Ashanti fan and I’m not afraid to say that I’m definately not looking forward to what she has to put out in a new album.
this shit is hot
i actually like it but i hate ashanti though
This shit sounds even hotter on your I-pod, Zune..etc.
I like this. Never thought I’d say this, but Jim Jones saved it. It can never outdo Pac’s shit though. Never!
when will this bitch learn she cant fucking sing?
this sounds like it was made by a 2 year old
I will no longer be consumed with the guilt of mistakes i made in men. I’m letting go of the bad choices i made and willing to learn from them. I will not think about these men who were insignificant to me and i was to them. Who was there for the purpose of sex and sex only. I will accept that with no reservations, it is what it is. No more will i paint a picture that is not there(fantasize)nor will i go back 2giving myself to someone who wants nothing more then the THAT.
Fools go back, real woman learn from their mistakes and keep it moving. I will no longer feel ugly inside because of them. I’m taking back myself respect, dignity & self worth. I am not my past, I am who i choose to be today which will determine who i am tomorrow. I DESERVE 2 LOVE ‘N’ 2 BE LOVED- NO EXCEPTIONS.
^^^ Spam!
Maybe Ashanti and Nelly should do a song together, i don’t know why they haven’t done it yet. Oh this might be off topic but has anybody ever heard a song called “Centipede” by Rebbie Jackson?
tay you is fucking gay for promoting this wack mess,
teedra needs to hurry up and put out a new album all deez
other bitches suck
Good for you, 29. Now go to bed.
#30 SMH. No comment.
Anywayz I dont think Ashanti & Nelly should do a song 2gether. Obvious reasons, it would make people compare them more to B & Jay.
tay you is still gay
listening to ashanti aint nothing to be proud of
Okay so I’m your calling me a lesbian? Umm ok..Get a life. If Ashanti is so wack, get the fuck ^ out HER topic.
This song is a BUZZ song. It’s not bad but as a shan fan I do think she needs to stray away from using such popular songs to sample. But its not her fault. SHE WORKED WITH PACS PRODUCER L.T.HUTTON ON THIS JOINT AND ALL HE KNOWS HOW TO DO IS SAMPLE PAC LOL. The song isnt bad though and its prob not gonna be on the cd. Just something new for her to try. Im tired of jim jones saying ballllllllin LMAO! I’m glad she is trying a variety of genres this time around
*Random* How can u add an avatar to your name when u post?
Ashanti cannot sing and she looks funny!
And ashanti has always flipped songs around and made them her own. The only rnb chick with the balls to even approach a hip hop/gangsta rap beat (you can’t deny it, STILL ON IT, Breakup 2 makeup remix, the pledge,etc) and try to add some rnb flavor to it. And 90% of the time she succeeds.
To compton chick, Ashanti does what she has to for a hit (rwu, baby,etc) but don’t let her SINGLES blind you from the other songs on her album that are MUCH MORE DEEPER than the singles except Rain On Me because she shit on the game with that song
I like the song.
Tay at the top right it should show ur name. Click “ADD PICTURE”
Ashanti can sing. She has never had “the big voice” so why do yall act surprised 6 years later like something dramatic was gonna change her voice. Ya’ll loved her on What’s luv, always on time, foolish, etc. but now all of a sudden her voice isnt good enough. She’s grown a lot vocally and can hang with the rest of them. You may not like her TONE at times but the girl has pipes
Plus she’s the REALEST female out there. The other chicks are a bore. Yall saw 106 & park. People anticipating SHAN! WHOOP!
I love Ashanti but that chick can’t sing for shit! The song is retarded. Is her or whoever she’s working for writing skills that horrible that she has to take Nate Dogg’s hook on Fabulous’s song and sing it? That shit is a mess!!!!
the bitch cant sing fo shit. she makes ciara look like
whitney houston. do yall think that ashanti could sing
that j-hud song?
lmao lol @ #2 I know that’s right lol
#42 Why do you keep trying to start stuff? It’s pathetic!
#40 all her song are bad including that whats luv song.
you are a dummy for thinking she is a good singer
Top right of what? lol
WACKNESS!!!
top left i meant lol. near the big CL logo
I still like it, regardless what anyone says. What you think matters, unless your thought is full of bullshit.

watch those and tell me ashanti can sing….even a little to yall. LOL you’re haters. Thats all you’ll ever be. If ashanti danced like ciara yall would have no probs with her. so dumb lmao
Whatever. You can have your opinion about the song but the girl can sing. A song like this isnt stressing vocals. Yall treat her like people treated DIANA ROSS for her unique voice in the 60s. And mary in the 90s. Ashanti will survive. The emancipation of shany 2015 LMAO!!!!
OMG FIRST TIME HEARING IT N I LOVEEEEEE IT..THIS A BANGING CLUB JOINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“CANT STOP MY SWAGGER MINE IS BETTER” OMG I LOVE THAT PART…ASHANTI FUCCKING BACK HATERS AND GET READY CUZ THIS BIITCH COMING BACK HARD
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Irv didnt dubb her the princess of hiphop n r&b for nothin LOL haha forreal tho…like someone said b4 its more suited as a mixtape track…i like this one better than that number babe one still…and as much as we would all like R&B to “come back”…hmm it hasnt gon anywhere IT JUST WILL NEVER BE THE SAME since all these wack ass artists are the ones that are gettin all the Shine n the real true r&b artists dont get none smh
it’s an okay song… but when is jim jones gonna disappear?
This chick still round? This song made Cassie sound better lol lemme stop but fa’real. Why music changing so much. she keeps on reapeatin same shyt thru the whole song she writes but singing isn’t for her ATL ALL. I mean if she could really sing why did um Def Jam or Def soul or weteva it iz didnt want to sign her? Cuz she cant sing but bootey might been played on Murda Inc for her to get dat deal. Now Why the hell wuld she wan use Nate Dogg shyt? C’mon ma let it rest Murda Inc is dead. If you put her and Alicia Keys then she would look dumb cuz its all computer makin her voice sound hot and shyt. But real world Ashanti cant sing.
RydeOrDie PLZ DAT GIRL AIN’T REAL.
“the bitch cant sing fo shit. she makes ciara look like
whitney houston. do yall think that ashanti could sing
that j-hud song?”
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHA R U OUT YOUR MIND…HATERS GO OUT THERE WAY 2 POST DUMB SHIT…U REALLY THINK CIARA CAN SING LOVE THE GURL BUT SHE COULDNT EVEN SING PROMISE LOL SO DO U ACTUALLY THINK CIARA CAN SING J HUD SONG WHICH REALLY AINT HER SONG TO START OFF WITH..NO CIARA CANT SING THAT ONLY THING CIARA IS GOOD FOR IS SINGING OVER FAST SONGS (GOODIES, GET UP, O, AND ONE TWO STEP…..CAN YOU PICTURE CIARA SINGING FOOLISH, RAIN ON ME OR EVEN BABY? YOU U ANSWER YES THEN LOL
#54. She was on def jam. What are you talking about? Def jam wanted her to stay soooo bad they made her fulfill her contract (Collectables by Ashanti) so that would be the only way she could leave the company with Irv & Ja. They didnt just cut her loose like they did C. milian
Ashanti sells records. Def jam loved her lol.
Alicia keys isnt a great vocalist. a lot of soul YES. Great voice? no so much. Beyonce Great voice. Personality is wack though (she’s so blank) and she lies (claims she WROTE the MAJORity of CIL, Listen, Irreplaceable)
UMMMMMM…………. NEXT!!!
Wack excuse for music!
umm why do people say she can’t sing when they listen to Rihanna and Ciara and she sangs better than the both of them.
this song is really blah. all it does is make you think of how great the original song is and how mediocre this version is. it sounds like mix tape material, not a first single on someone’s album. but i bet the 106 crowd jumps on this big time.
