No they wouldn't have. out of all you mentioned Ashanti is the only one who still gets media coverage and has the biggest following. Rappers have an expiration date.. Ashanti still has star power, she just doesn't get the musical attention she deserves. mostly because of the demise of murder inc and her being independent. As for Aaliyah, I love her and she may would have been big..who's to say, but it bothers me when people try to mention her with Ashanti or Even beyonce! Aaliyah became huge after her death. She was not on the level of Ashanti. Ashanti made musical history breaking many records..one being having one of the most successful albums of all time.

when hip hop had to prove its worth to mtv squeezing rap sets together while the bands get to kill it..here we are years later hip hop is right under pop in mtv
i remeber this!! i had it recorded for the longest in 6th grade, i miss this music SOOO much ughh i loved this awardsss, they dont do things like this anymore :(
Yeah all 2002 he was making mixtapes but Ja was ignoring him . Until like April 2003 Ja never responded . Maybe because of the federal indictment of murder inc or maybe just because he was trying to rise above it
Larry Butler nah he knew 50 was bombing him & the streets wasn't fuckin w Him & that Murder Inc wasn't what they was saying they was. After he mention Em & Dre he was done Ja career was over so was Irv as CEO figure
Nas not Ja said that because he knew 50 wouldn't mess with him because of their relationship and 50's admiration for one of his biggest influences and 50 could have lost his chance to make history and millions if went to prison or the grave for messing with Ja off wax.
The hype if 50 was brewing after "wanksta" in 2002 Was perfect timing for 50 cent as Last temptation was not as good as Pain is Love and Ja already was dwindling. 2003 Murder Inc raid was the real hammer blow
Gotta respect Nas for not backing down from 50 and G unit hype. Ashanti and Ja always perform awesome together. Nas doesnt get the same love nowadays. Probably cos he made a track about "doctors injecting our infants with the poison" and stuff like that doesn't go down well with our rulers.
There ain’t too many of these music “stars” that can sound good without the music. These two and all thier songs would still sound good without the music
Lol i was wondering why in the comments section i didnt see that . Ashanti was looking at him when she was walking towards him and he was looking at the crowd and he was sprung off Kelis at this time.
Urban Legend nah he did right by not doing the deal Nas legacy is that he’s an outlaw he doesn’t do what everybody else is doing and joining murder inc would have watered down his legacy
Hold up I love Nas one of my favorites love ja and Ashanti but did Ashanti try to kiss Nas and either he didn't catch it or just played it off?, to me it's not a big deal, just wonder if he noticed it
I like,Pac,biggie,and,most east coast. Rapperer,west coast to,I'm not liken,Jay z,puffy,most of u have sold out,no soul,I'd Luke to ask if u could do it all over would u ask for fame and,money,do u know if going to burn in he'll fires so hot at times I can't think about,and most of ull took it differs and demon kids with u,did it women know what u were governing then before u gave it,,but they were demons to, if u could do it over wat woyld u do
Ashanti and Ja Rule Chemistry is outta this world 😘🥰🥰
If the internet was as big as it now at this time..Ashanti would still be a mega superstar...I miss her being on top
so would Ja Rule, Nas, Aaliyah and most of the relevant artists at the time
No they wouldn't have. out of all you mentioned Ashanti is the only one who still gets media coverage and has the biggest following. Rappers have an expiration date..

Men I remember I was addicted to her music lol
Key Music | Does is matter ? she’s not that talented anyway.
Diem Pardon She is, she’s a Writer, actress and can sing. The music she did in this era didn’t showcase her vocals
Ashanti always been beautiful
Ja rule and ashanti always has good chemistry together :)
They really did!
Ashanti 😝
I used to think they were dating back then like Beyonce and Jay-Z. I had no idea and never thought it was Irv that was redshirting her.

What happened to our girl? Haven’t heard anything for years?? This is when music was amazing
they kept talking about 2003 is the year of peace…. little did they know the storm that was brewing that year… 50 Cent lol
MANKind1110 that’s why they were trying to make it the year of peace because the whole 2002 50 was on ja ass lmao
Yeah all 2002 he was making mixtapes but Ja was ignoring him . Until like April 2003 Ja never responded . Maybe because of the federal indictment of murder inc or maybe just because he was trying to rise above it

The hype if 50 was brewing after "wanksta" in 2002
Was perfect timing for 50 cent as Last temptation was not as good as Pain is Love and Ja already was dwindling.
2003 Murder Inc raid was the real hammer blow

0:47 Ja can't fold a handkerchief
Lol
lmao
Too hood lol
AT 3:35 PART OF THE PART OF THE VIDEO, WHY DID NAS TURN AWAY FROM ASHANTI WHEN SHE WENT TO KISS HIM
Lol i was wondering why in the comments section i didnt see that . Ashanti was looking at him when she was walking towards him and he was looking at the crowd and he was sprung off Kelis at this time.
He prob didn't even notice just like 50 did with Beyonce
Haters.... Ashanti a bad bitch
Nas : we need peace in hiphop music
Jarule: murdaaaaaaaaaaaa 😂😂😂
And every time ja opens his mouth i think of mmmm me want cookie
they should’ve just performed “the pledge” .. everything else was dumb📉
Its Murdaaaaaaa.....
Nas should have signed with Murder Inc.
Urban Legend nah he did right by not doing the deal Nas legacy is that he’s an outlaw he doesn’t do what everybody else is doing and joining murder inc would have watered down his legacy
0:32 doe
is murderrrrrrr for life
murder eL c yn173
3:34 - 3:36 that was a 50 Cent / Beyonce VMA moment.

@tosi

What nas song is that?
I have aways liked Bobby Brown still do

Hold up I love Nas one of my favorites love ja and Ashanti but did Ashanti try to kiss Nas and either he didn't catch it or just played it off?, to me it's not a big deal, just wonder if he noticed it
TFFNIYEA YOU But you
*50 Cent and Olivia NEVER performed like that.. and Im a 50 fan*
as much as im Not a fan of beyonce, I see why she winning. these other singers performances make hers look a lot better
your opinion isn't a fact. deal with it
yeah I disagree with both of you. deal with it
MY WIFE YOU GOOD. SHOPPICS.COM ASHANTI. CLARENCE A WHITE.

can ashanti sing? can she dance? Nah ho
amcuno can't you sing ? can't you dance on this music?
Never liked her

I believe she could always sing. Ppl just get better with time ‼️
She is a hit or miss vocalist some performances are great and some suck she’s not not consistent that’s all
Stfu
ashanti don't sound good here. it just wasn't working not at all.
