“Rob the jewelry store and tell ‘em make me a grill…” No, I’m joking. But seriously, everything which Nelly’s signature yell-rap-sing (whatever it is, he’s made it his trademark) appears on really sounds like that to me. And the production on this doesn’t make it any easier for me to seperate the two. Or the subject matter. Nelly’s talking about grills while Ashanti croons about her favorite high heels!
On the BET Awards post-show, Ashanti said that she’d pretty much done everything herself on her latest project, which is due out in the fall. She also mentioned that they were in works of choosing a first single… so my assumption that with this leaking, “Switch” is not it. Even though I’m not really fan of Ashanti (or her voice), this is a fun song. However, not single worthy, it just seems like she went into the studio to have a good time with her man, Nelly. Although she’s still with The Inc. Records, I think that Ashanti is trying to mature a little bit and work with some other people on this next project, which I hear is titled This Is Me. Let’s hope that she can put together something that’s a little more stellar than her last effort, Concrete Rose.
first?? its aiight im tired of Nelly and those damn grillz reference
WTF Is this the wizard of oz…click your heels..seriously now?!?!
***Update***after listening to the song a few more times….I keep seeing Laffy Taffy the female version though
I liked Ashanti’s first CD but after that all her music started to sound the same.
As far as this song…it sounds like Asanhti trying to do snap music and create her own lil dance. I am not really feeling it…
Cute song…. this has the potential to be a hot ass video though.
I kinda dig Ashanti….one of my all time favorites is “Baby”.
I think her singing combined with the instrumental is better than anything she ever done before, now her lyrics are dumb as heck. Geez man! Oh and she’s beautiful in that pic.
I like it, maybe it’s because all I do is wear heels and I could rock this song in the club. I might not be able to ride to it in the car but I can already see me jammin’ in the club scene to it LOL!!
~SWEETS~
cute i like it
She needs to walk away from the mic, and try again. This song is wack.
@#1..you must not have read the commenting rules but anyway,
Not really a fan of Ashanti’s although I must agree with # 5, Baby was my ish!!!
Sorry but the song is WACK… She had a good concept but the song SUCKS..SORRY~
Now I’m usually a BIG HATER of Ashanti but I really like this song…and trust if people can dance to corny songs by Lil Mama then I’m sure they can do it to this single!
Didn’t Keri Hilson start the “Heels” theme?
actually i dont really like her voice all that much either, the only time i really like it was when she did the southside video with lloyd.
SMH…NOT feelin it.
I like for some reason, maybe because of Nelly.
IDK, it was a cute concept but it just didn’t do anything for me. I like both Nelly and Ashanti but they could have done a lot better than this.
I found it kind of irritating, so I didn’t listen to the whole thing. Better luck next time, Ashanti.
nELLY SEXY AND ASHANTI IS VERY PRETTY!
The songs is cute. My thoughts exactly sweets!
WOW
Testing my new avatar.
Hi Candi, Chante and Chelly. How have you been?
My old avatar can’t be replaced for some reason.
Anyway, I don’t like Ashanti’s music.
I love this song. Radio is going to love this. It is a perfect club jam. Congrats to Nelz and Ashanti on this one.
BOO! IMO cute concept, but executed poorly.
Cute but not that good!
She looks nice on the picture!
They could came better than this wack stuff.
I honestly think it was a nice, fun song that will be a good single (maybe follow up–but not FIRST).. I mean its not GREAT but it’s a cool track. You can DEFINATELY hear growth in Ashanti’s voice and Im happy for her. I’m just glad that she’s letting Irv Gotti & The Inc go!!!
Overall: 8.2
(maybe if you actually listen to the song without judging the singer you can feel the same way)
I like it. Its a great way to get them both back on radio. It’ll do well if its actually a single. It might just be a buzz record though.
Garbage……I would hate to see the video….it looks like it would look like Boosie “Wipe Me Down”, another garbage song, video, and artist.
smh at #31… its really not that bad. But FYI Concrete Loop, Her album is called “The Declaration” according to Billboard.com
@ 31, this could never be as bad as the mess that is Lil’ Boosie
This song smells a bit like a trash bag on a hot summer’s day in Philly. Nelly seriously needs to get inspired cos he getting a bit stale. Ashanti is stunning though. Wow
hated ittt (snaps fingers)
Well Well Welll listen to Ashanti lol
I like the song is def. something new for Ashanti
Try again Ashanti. smh
I do agree that Nelly needs to step it up but at the same time I’m glad he stays in his lane. I’m tired of rappers talkin about bustin guns and sellin drugs
This is a cute song to me. I’m feeling it 4real.
And I see you Sweets! Same here!
Who?
i need r&b chicks to JUST sing! i’m tired of this rap-yell-sing -talking songs. I need some good ole music that i understand WTF your talking about! I’m not interested in a 3 minute song about your damn heels!
Horrible. Just horrible. I could not even listen to the entire song b/c it was WACK!!
it’s one of those songs just like alot of the music today that will grow on you and after chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side all i can say is this song has the potential to be a hit… and dont make a video, it will be number one on 106 & Park just because it’s these two finally after being an item for like 3 1/2 years….. i don’t hate, it’s not the best song but it definitely aint the worse… and i love NELLY.. he love Ashanti…so i say good luck Ashanti.
and one other thing- great thing is if you don’t like something then you know what
TURN THE STATION…. I wish people would stop hatin….Dang
i wish i could hear it. ma computa is bein stupid
Those hoe are hating are truly funny ya say you don’t like it but you jam on it I LIKE IT is truly a club bagger yo is different from Ashanti but I LIKE it GOD BLESS
i found myself always liking the most hated artists!im feeling this song especially since her and nelly on it together.they make a cute couple
LETS TRY SOMETHING NEW!!!!that isnt ashanti singing,thats BEYONCE!now do ya’ll like it?
jk.
@ #31 and #33, Wipe me down is not Lil Boosie song. He didn’t make that song. Fox did and Boosie was just a feature.
Her voice sounds a whole lot better than usual. I don’t know if she has a vocal coach or if it’s the fact that she is not trying to hit those high notes that she can never seem to hit like she usually does. But the lyrics are wack as hell. Click your heels? WTH?
Her voice…
The lyrics…
And the song… ARE WACK!!!
When will this chick disappear? And shame on the ones who said this song was good or fun…
Damn. . .HATING IS SOOO UGLY people.
I bet if it was Beyonce’s publicity whoring ass song all the comment would be different. . .smh
I like dis song if fergie could tlk bout her humps ashanti can tlk bout her heels. nd i lik that its NOT A RELATIONSHIP SONG!! i wear heels soo i could jam 2 dis
i would like this song if any other artist was singing it.
Why is it that you can’t like anything w/o somebody calling you a hater? What is the point of dissing Beyonce or any other artists because they don’t like Ashanti’s song? Geez. That’s so lame. If you like it, fine. But everybody is not going to agree.
Personally, I think the song is wack. I hear no vocal growth, nor is this concept original. The song sounds like the rest of the cheesy records on radio. With that said, it will probably be a big hit.
I saw Ashanti on BET’s post show and she said they had just picked the frist single, not they were about to. This has been confirmed as the first single. Ashanti and Nelly are following in Beyonce and Jay’s annoying footsteps with this ‘we in a relationship, that’s do a song together to create hype’. *rolling eyes*
@ 54, you CAN like a song without hating. My comment went out to those who said something negative or something other that I like or dislike the song. And what I said about Beyonce was just MY opinion.
People talk as if Ashanti has the worst voice in the industry. The girl can actually carry a note, and she doesnt rest on sing/talking…she actually tries to SING. It might not be the strongest voice, but it definitely is NOT the worst.
Now the song is cool…but the chorus is type annoying, especially when it gets to the “click ya heels” shit. But like some already said, I can see myself dancing to it in the club.
Quiche-A…i hope you feel better about yourself for pointing that out…have a great day
OK HERE WE GO AGAIN THIS COMMENT THING IS GONNA BE FILLED WIT A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THINGS SHE CANT SING DIS DOESNT SHOW ANY VOCAL GROWTH BLAH BLAH BLAH BUT U KNOW ARTIST DO WHAT HOT NOW SOUTHERN MUSIC IS HOT NOW SO WHY NOT INCORPORATE THAT IN YOUR MUSIC AND ALSO SHE IS WORKING WITH SOUTHERN ARTIST SO ITS GONNA HAVE DAT FEEL TO IT I LIKE THE SONG BECAUSE ITS DIFFERENT FOR HER NOT DA SAME I LOVE MY BABY I MISS MY BABY MESS THAT WE ARE ALL USED TO AND AS U CAN SEE HER VOICE IS LOUDER AND SHES NOT STAYING IN THAT LOW TONE LIKE DA PREVIOUS ALBUMS I THINK THIS IS GONNA BE A FUN ALBUM
@56
You are a fool! Ashanti couldn’t carry a tune to save her motherloving life!
And Cassie may be the worst singer in R&B but Ashanti is a close second.
@59
ARE U SERIOUS TO SAY SHES SECOND WOW U MUST BE SO NAIVE THAT SHE IS AFTER CASSIE NAH SHES NOT ALL THESE CHICKS DAT COME OUT WHISPERING WIT A HOT BEAT THINK THEY HAVE A FUTURE BUT NOPE WHERE ARE THEY AMERIES VOICE IS RASPY LIKE SHE FORCES OUT NOTES THAT SHE CANT USE ASHANTI HAS RANGE AND SHE CAN CARRY A NOTE BUT WE HAVENT SEEN IT YET AND NOW DAT SHE ISNT WITH MURDER INC ANYMORE SHE HAS A CHANCE TO PROVE DAT SHES HERE TO STAY YES WE LIVE IN A BEYONCE WORLD BUT THERE IS ROOM FOR ALOT OF ARTIST SO GIVE HER A CHANCE JUST LIKE U WOULD GIVE ANYBODY ELSE
