Blech! Some people just OOZE hood and that is NOT a good thing, Foxy Brown!
One thing money cannot buy is class or erase the “rough edges” from a hard woman.
Only fashionably-challenged black women match all of their clothes and accessories from head-to-toe. I hate that with a passion! Yuck
If Ashanti is trying to jack Ri Ri style then who did Ri Ri get hers from. Oh thats right she got it from Fe Fe Dobson cause when Rhiana first came out she was an Island girl all the way around from the way she dressed to her music. Not much of a fan of either of the two of them but damn let Ashanti do her I mean I would much rather hear her “sing” than that cat scratching Ri Ri is doing.
I will watch (some of it at least).
I love Luda, and Trey Songz.
And Mary betta Work!! She’s been one of my favs from the jump.
Meth… Mmm Mmm Good.
I must say that I’m glad DMX was there, hopefully he’s doing a Whitney, and getting his life under control. I liked his music and really hopes he gets back to it… Thats a purty lady he’s with (no homo).
Foxy… Try again…
Everyone else looks alright…

Now why did Method have to go and throw up the disrepectful fingaz?.. Like i’d expect it from Redman, but c’mon meth..have a bit fo class!
Mary looks fab..i’m sure they performed “You’re all i need” thats wassup!
Chrissette Michelle has on too many clothes! She’s a pretty woman, but a healthy gal..you dont need to pack on all those pieces mama..like forreally though.
Poor Tyme..was cursed with her father (KRS-one) nose..lol!
Ashanti is also another pretty face but the whole outfit and hair thingy is a no-go..not feeling it or her lil robust sister’s outfit either!

Trey Songz is hella sexy. Meth is doing his thing; time treats him well. Mary and Eve look good! Ashanti’s outfit is a little strange, but she’s rockin’ it. Fab is full of swag!

Ludacris, Rick Ross, Jay-Z, kanYe, Rihanna…and the list goes on …
for sure they the # 1 on them thing..
stop hating on ashanti..give her some credit..she looks good..go ashanti
After reading some comments I can’t do anything but shake my mofo head. Some of yall have no respect for our older black artists. This is why music is crap today. We don’t honor our older artists. Look at why the Rolling Stones & the Eagles can still pull big numbers when they tour. White people honor their artists. I gues folks want to see Drake and Lil Wayne with little girls on stage rapping about how they want to sex females. Now that I have said my peace on that Concrete Loop find out why the first artist to release and album on Def Jam wasn’t there. LL Cool J…..also T La Rock (first single released on Def Jam) should have been there. Oh yea,Mary J & Method Man better perform their song together,

@WTF
FeFe is cool but she is not any style icon and Rihanna did not take anything from her so stop it. I like Fefe but she is a indy type of artist Rihanna dresses way better than she does so please with that.
Rihanna made a CLASSIC CD and she changed her style after a SICK new VIDEO and she never looked back. Madonna has made a career of doing that and Rihanna is the new MADONNA. She’s the biggest thing in Music right now. So wake up and get off that tired Fefe mess. and Jay and Rihanna own the charts along with Beyonce.
Rihanna is bigger than Ashanti EVER was. So you need to get off the meds and give Rihanna the credit she deserves.
Ashanti was never known for style or music she was a joke then and is a joke now.
This is gonna be great! Can’t quite honor Def Jam w/o Hov, so i hope he’s there. LOVEE YOU FOXXXXXY!!!!!!! PHUCK ALL YOUR HATERS!

Don’t believe the Hype Ashanti looks great. Mary J is always fire. Why is it anyone who tries a new look is trying to jack someones style please women are camillions naturally…So some of you need a coke and a smile…& stop hating !
Rick Ross beard make me want to barff twice…
I think ashanti look good to me. Foxy is doing the damn thing happy to see her back period. Mary look like she is rocking lol. Can not wait to see this.
“Oh thats right she got it from Fe Fe Dobson cause when Rhiana first came out she was an Island girl all the way around from the way she dressed to her music.”
***************************************************************
FYI,people from the Caribbean listen to ALL TYPES OF MUSIC and we dress just like anyone else. Have you actually ever been there?
“Only fashionably-challenged black women match all of their clothes and accessories from head-to-toe. I hate that with a passion! Yuck”
***************************************************
A co-worker of mine always gets on me because my shoes never match my purse. There is no helping her. Lol!
Ashanti looking mad good in that gray piece she wearing. Damn Nelly u fail!!
“FeFe is cool but she is not any style icon and Rihanna did not take anything from her so stop it. I like Fefe but she is a indy type of artist Rihanna dresses way better than she does so please with that.”
*******************************************
IF Rhianna was influenced by Fefe she certainly surpassed her. Fefe always looks dirty. Plus, her music isn’t saying shyt. She wasn’t that great to begin with. Fefe totally jacked Joan Jett, but you don’t hear Joan Jett being all bitter in interviews about it. She’s just upset Rhianna left her in her dust.
I find it quite funny the mention of Fefe’s name on this board. I honestly don’t think many of you have even heard her music, but your hate for Rhianna is so out of control you’d say anything to discredit her.
True
King Fresh Has Spoken
Eve, just having an outbreak ….
Foxy, could never get it…. try again & after reviewing that sneak peak sex tape upgrade your skills on the mic if you know what I mean Nah
@KILLILLUMINATI…all I did was quote another poster and my comment is “waiting moderation”. CL can’t be serious. I guess they’ve got it out for certain posters while people like JUDAH spread hate all day without any filter whatsoever.
FYI,Kid Rock was a rapper.
Love me some KRS-ONE. Real intelligent brother right there.
The women of this particular stage of hip hop have not aged well at all. You need to know when to say when to wearing some of that nonsense… Just NO… No you cannot still pull that off. No.
except Mary… mary looks nice (because she looks grown.
ok #16 u are a nutball fo’real..ashanti aint sell no DAMN 30 MILLION u clown..gtfoh!!!
Now moving along, anybody that cant see this chick has clearly or is clearly trying to ‘bite’ the rihanna thing is RETARDED AS FUCK. Its that obvious. She too damn old for this following shit..she need to step her shit way up.
looks like fun!!! wish i was there!
FOXY LOOK WEIRD WITH DAT BIG OL….YACK
HATS GO OFF TO RIHANNA, SHE HAS EVERYONE IN THE GAME TRYING TO IMITATE HER SIGNATURE STYLE, BUT NO ONE CAN DO IT QUITE LIKE HER. I SEE ASHNTI TRYING TO DO A LITTLE-RI-RI, ALTHOUGH SHE LOOKS NICE, I STILL SAY FIND YOUR OWN SIGNATURE STYLE, ITS NOTHING WRONG WITH TRYING NEW THINGS AND ITS COMMON TO LIKE WHAT SOMEONE LIKES, BUT TAKE WHATEVER THAT LIEK IS, AND MAKE IT YOUR OWN. I SEE FOXY BROWN GOT HER DEFLATED BREAST DONE. THEY ARE FULL NOW, AND I MUST SAY LOOK BETTER. SHE HAS AN EXOTIC LOOK TO HER, I WISH SHE WOULD WEAR HER HAIR IN DIFFERENT STYLES BESIDES ALWAYS DOWN, SO PEOPLE SAY, SHE TRYING TO HIDE HER BIG ROUND HEAD, NOT SURE IF THATS TRUE, BUT SPIEC IT UP ONCE AND A WHILE
YALL GET OFF ASHANTI DICK,SHANI FELL OFF BUT STILL LOOK GOOD AS SHIT AND GETTIN MONEY.STILL A- B LIST AFTER SHE LEFT AND CAME BACK.FUCK YALL.CHOKE ON HER DICK,SWALLOW IT
Ashanti is not copying anybody! When did Rihanna ever wear/do her hair long, curly with just one side braided down….. Ummmm never! Just because someone throws on a pair of shades does not make them Rihanna or Lady Gaga.
If you want to call out copiers…. Lets start with the fact that Ashanti was (the first I know of) Def Jam’s first ‘bad girl.’ She was like the sole female (since Charli Baltimore and Vita weren’t doing much) hanging around a bunch of rappers…. hence Murder INC! So yeah Ashanti was Def Jam’s ‘bad girl’ from 2001 until 2005.
Not only when Rihanna decided to release her THIRD album in 2007, did she pick up the gimmick of Def Jam’s ‘bad girl.’ And if you notice Ashanti NEVER had to dress overly like she was hard(core) she just was cause of association and loyalty….meaning it was more real. Rihanna is the ‘bad girl’ post her album ‘GGGB’, all of her dominatrix like outfits that she wears down the streets of NYC, and cause of her continuously cutting and shaving her hair/head!
Ashanti looks amazing stop hating haters!! And Btw,Rihanna didn’t create that style,so shut up,she looks great! The shades and boots are fierce..work it shan.
I think Ashanti look cute from the time she came out people always had negative things to say about her I think she always look nice and her hair and clothes for the most part are always on point.
I cosign with SoopDawg…..people are so ignorant.
