Ashanti needs to take another look at her stage set. Maybe put a little more cloth on her body and change her stage-backdrop graphic to, hmm, maybe snow-capped evergreen trees, instead of strippers dancing around poles.

It was a "Chess Move" by 50! Buying the Enemy's Publishing while He (Irv Gotti) was having Money Problems. The ULTIMATE "F***K YOU"!!!!

But it is not worth anything. Half the songs use samples.

Ja Rule & Ashanti's Music is STILL getting played on the Radio aplenty!!! I don't care 4 it either, but all those spins are putting Dollars in 50's Pockets!!! Smart Business!!!

Spins on the radio do not bring in dollars. Streaming, purchase and commercial use. You will not be hearing anything from Murder Ink catalogue in a movie or commerical and by the time all the people they sampled get paid there will not be much left.

I also am not sure where you live that all they can play on the radio id Ja Rule and Ashanti. The music is not even old enough to make it on RnB A/C formats.

You act like 50 cent purchased the Rolling Stone catalouge.

NO: I just understand the move 50 made. It was a PERSONAL F**K U 2 Irv Gotti & Murder Inc.!!! Do U know Their whole backstory? If U do, it makes PERFECT sense!!! On 103.7 FM in Seattle, They play Ja Rule 7 Ashanti APLENTY!! And although it's not much money, it all goes 2 50. That's all I'm sayin'. And I know the difference between the Rolling Stones and Lil' 'Ol Murder Inc.! Thank U very MUCH!!!!

All of 2 cents goes to 50. You know the business genius who thought he could file for bankrupcy and still keep his assets.

saw Ashanti do an interview on TRL last week, and DAMN it was nice to see and hear from her again.
