Product Description
Collectables contains four newly recorded tracks, including the opening cut, "Still on It," featuring Paul Wall and Method Man, produced by Irv Gotti for Top Dawg Productions and Slim. The other new tracks are "I Love You" (produced by Jimi Kendrix for Family Bizness Musik and Irv Gotti for Top Dawg); "Show You" (produced by Irv Gotti for Top Dawg Productions and Chink for Soldier Productions) and "Found It in You" (produced by Full Force for Forceful Enterprises, Inc. and Irv Gotti for Top Dawg).

Six of the tracks on Collectables are rare, impossible-to-find remixes--including Ashanti's top 5 R&B/pop crossovers of 2003, "Rain on Me" (in a new remix by Supa Engineer DURO, featuring Ja Rule, Charli Baltimore & Hussein Fatal) and "Rock wit U (Awww Baby)" (remixed by Supa Engineer DURO and Irv Gotti). Three other tracks include a who's-who of hip-hop guests: Cam'Ron and Juelz Santana on "Only U" (remixed by Glen Marchese); Caddillac Tah on "Still Down" (remixed by Milwaukee Buck); Black Child on "Break Up 2 Make Up" (remixed by Supa Engineer DURO and Irv Gotti); and Free featured on "Focus."

5.0 out of 5 stars So fly..., December 30, 2005

By	All love! Philana Marie Boles, novelist (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

I love it (and I'm so surprised by the various negative comments). It doesn't seem like these people reviewed the same CD that I felt compelled to comment on, but to each his own. I don't know what's going on with the hating because this CD is BANANAS!!!

Sure, Ashanti had a little bit of an extended sophomore slump, but she's back in a fierce way. This is the Ashanti that we loved from jump. This is the Ashanti who really REALLY understands what a girl is going through in relationships these days. She's so fly because, on one hand, she puts emotions to lyrics soooo well, but then she equally knows how to (with the "musical army"--as she calls them) inspire a lot of head nodding and finger snapping. This CD is so fly. I can't get enough; fans of Ashanti won't either.

Thank you Ashanti, for continuing to put it on wax--the things that us ladies go through--and for giving us this CD, a reminder that you still and will always be here. I'm rolling heavily to this, no pushing of the eject button anywhere in the near future.

I love every cut. My favs, though it's hard to choose, are "Still on it", "Focus Remix" and oh-my-goodness the remix of "Rain on Me," is soooooo fly. You can just TELL that on that cut our girl is really feeling what she's singing when Ashanti sings the words...

"See everybody wanna rise to the top these days... A lot of people might come and try to take your place... Oh you know that all you gotta do is keep risin'... Don't look back and keep shinin'... I had a little struggle, I had a little pain, now make it rain, make it rain, make it rain..."

Keep risin' Ashanti. Glad you're back. Stay here.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the hotness!, December 13, 2005

By	Jason Alexander - See all my reviews

Honey, I was so glad that Murder Inc got acquitted of those ridiculous money laundering charges. I know Miss Ashanti would NEVER team up with a label that does shady practices, and that's why I respect her. This album is BANGIN' with beats, and you need to get this, okay? I love you, Ashanti!

2.0 out of 5 stars U Better Go Back to 2002..., December 9, 2005

By	rafa (new york, NY USA) - See all my reviews

Im in love with Ashanti's self-titled first album.
Chapter II & Concrete Rose were very dissapointed. I really think she is a great performer and songwriter, but she better go back to 2002, her beginning. That was Hot!
Girl if you moved to another record company and make real R&B... I'll buy it!!
I even don't like this artwork!!!! It reminds me J. to that Lo! Wack!
