How Amerie’s career was hijacked by Beyonce and J-Lo

[Wear My Dawg's Hat]

Amerie's "Take Control" was a great tune that should gotten much more light than it did.

there's a reason that weirdo has that badge under their name

Cardi B just shared a record held by Ashanti.
Cardi B Joins The Beatles & Ashanti With First 3 Hot 100 Hits in Top 10 Simultaneously; Ed Sheeran & Beyonce's 'Perfect' No. 1

Ashanti, who can't sing at all, set a music record held by only the Beatles - her first 3 songs ever hit the top 10.

yet dudes in here are telling you that she STILL wasn't a bigger artist than beyonce in her prime

this has been a problem all up and down this discussion, dudes are blatantly ignoring FACTS/REALITY just to support beyonce.

Iggy Azela had the 1# & 2# song in the country at the same time.

Ashanti was never bigger than Beyonce ever. This is not opinion it’s fact.

How many times I gotta answer this question?

If you weren’t at least 13 years old in 2002, don’t talk to me about Ashanti and Beyoncé please.

I was older than 13 (still a teenager). Ashanti’s popularity was tied with murder inc. Thats why she fell off badly when they did. Swiftly.

now, i never used the phrase "BIGGER THAN BEYONCE" someone else might have, but not me.

you just saw me say that Ashanti is trash and can't sing. did you see that? she is trash. she can't sing and has no talent.

but here's an undeniable fact: Ashanti set a billboard record that was held by the beatles - this means. that she was wildly popular at one point in her career.

she'd done something that no other female artist ever did prior to cardi B - not madonna, janet, or beyonce. <<<<< NO EMOTION. NO OPINION. JUST FACTS.

the initial argument was that Ashanti was the hottest in the game for a year - how is this not true? she broke that record and her debut album sold 3 million copies.

brehs name droppin Aaliyah/Timbaland and Kelis/Neptunes like Timbaland and the Neptunes wasn't also workin with other female singers at the same damn time...Rich prolly made them tracks for Amerie, but the label decided to give them to a bigger artist...that shyt happens all the time, it's not sabotage, it's business...

y'all always try to paint Beyonce as some bitter queen who just kills her competitions careers off because she wants to while ignoring the fact that plenty of females like Ashanti, Ciara, GaGa, Rihanna, ect done came into the game on her watch and flourished...people like Amerie and Keri simply weren't gonna stick around for long regardless...

2 things:

1) this is not a COLI argument. this has been a claim that's followed beyonce for years, decades even.

2) why are you limiting everything to beyonce, throw J-Lo in the mix, she's even more guilty of copying amarie than beyonce IMO, she even copied her singing style



also watch the video fellas - everybody copied that gogo/hiphop/R&B flavor from Amerie - Toni braxton, Kelly Rowland, Mary etc etc...
like DJ Envy said, it just seemed like that sound was everywhere after her...

I was of age during that time period. Ashanti was white hot and she was seen as competition for Beyoncé. Ashanti however in no way, shape or form was the bigger act.

What did u mean?

I said in her prime - It's right there in the quote.

you'd argue that Destiny's child was bigger than murder inc in the early 2000's fam?

but no ashanti is not overall a bigger artist than beyonce

And I’m sayin this no point in Ashanti’s career was she ever bigger than or equal to Beyonce

 

[Booker T Garvey]

and that's fine to have that opinion. so answer this please: how do you explain ashanti holding that record, and not beyonce?

that's NOT evidence that at one point ashanti was running R&B? even if just for a year?

Both the writings on the wall and survivor sold more than anything murder inc has ever released

 

[Dre Space Age]

Ameriie gave up. That's all plain and simple. Love her YouTube channel.

That's like saying Ludacris who went like triple platinum his first two albums was a bigger draw than Jigga. Ashanti at her peak was a chart topping artist...Once Crazy In Love hit Beyoncé was a phenom
