Customer Reviews

Concrete S**T
This is Concrete S**t, and i am an ashanti fan. Her first album is her best: foolish, down 4u, happy, baby... god what is this girl thinkin ´bout? This ain´t R&B/HipHop. Girl Go Get other producers...keep writing and tryin and dont you ever listen to those haters!
And she is releasing a remix album in less a month... I ain´t gonna buy it, cos the only worthy song is Rain On Me Remix Feat. La Baltimore and Ja.
This girl is cool, but the album...

Ashanti's Best Album "CONCRETE ROSE"
I Only Bought This 3 Weeks Ago And I Am Impressed!!

Here Are My Top 5 And The Reviews Of Them: No. 1- Best:
1. Only U (10/10) A Great Catchy Breathtaking Song!
2. Touch My Body (10/10) Why Is This A Bonus Track? It's Way Too Good To Be A Bonus Track
3. Turn It Up (9/10) Very Very Good!
4. Focus (9/10) Again, It's Very Very Good!
5. Freedom (9/10) I Love This Ballad!

Much Better Than Chapter 2!!!
Ashanti's debut was really fresh and didn't sound just like any other "R'n'B Princess". Then came Chapter 2 which was just a huge let down. Fortunatly Ashanti has reminded us why we liked her so much in the first place by releasing Concrete Rose.

01.Concrete Rose (Intro)
02.Still Down (6/10)Not a very strong way to start an album.
03.Message To The Fans (Skit)
04.Only U (10/10)Breathtaking.
05.Focus (9/10)Really good beats.
06.Don't Let Them (9/10)Laid back, nice song.
07.Love Again (5/10)Boring.
08.Take Me Tonight (7/10)Her 1st sung duet.Smooth.
09.U (9/10)An atmospheric grind.
10.Ev'ry Lil Thing (4/10)Sounds like an even crapper Love Again.
11.Turn It Up (8/10)OK but a bit too poppy.
12.Buck 3000 (Skit)
13.So Hot (8/10)Sexy ballad.
14.Don't Leave Me Alone (10/10)Excellent.A different sound.
15.Sister Stories (Skit)
16.Freedom (7/10)Meaningful ballad.Doesn't do it for me.
17.Wonderful (Remix)(8/10)She gets her own verse in this one.
18.Touch My Body (8/10)Good but you can see why it's only a bonus track.
