A very Strange Ashanti Collection December 6, 2005
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
Ashanti's "Collectables" is a an album that feature 4 new songs and 6 remixes. It is kind of a hit and miss situation. While most of the songs are great, some are not. The worst song on the album has to be the "Rock Wit U (Awww baby)" remix. She samples the sheet music to "Rock with you" by Michael Jackson. The third verse interpolates MJ's version. She tries to blend her verisons lyrics with MJ's. That did not make a very good song. What she should have done is remake MJ's version 100 percent. That would have made a better song. The remixes to "Rain on me" and "Only U" have been ruined with rap by Ja Rule. Ja Rule has a voice that is really scratchy and does not mix with R & B music. It's okay for rapping because With rap music, he doesn't have to try to hit a high note like he's Mariah Carey. But with Ashanti's singing voice, Ja rule's scratchy voice just doen't mix. But that is just my opinion. Not everybody feels that way

This isn't Joseph. I am his oldest DAUGHTER.
Let me tell you how to REALLY use this album:
1. Take plastic cover off.
2. Open CD case
3. Take CD artwork out.
4. BREAK CD and cut up the artwork.
5. BURN pieces in the fireplace.
6. Save case as coster or use it for a mix CD.
In conclusion: THIS ALBUM STINKS! Enough said.

Ashanti can not sing and we didnt need a "remix" album to remind us.
 So fly... December 31, 2005

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.
 Collectibles is not a collection of hits. December 6, 2005

To begin, this "remix album" only has 10 tracks on it. Considering the high volume of bootlegging that exsists on the market, a 10 track album is not inticing. The lead single, "Still On It" has an outstanding and creative beat that is very radio-friendly. Ashanti vocals are great and so is her lyrics. It is also a very unique collaboration, Ashanti, Paul Wall, and Method Man. In my opinion the beats, not the lyrics, make the song because Method Man's nor Paul Wall's versus are in correlation with the concept of the song. I couldn't give the album any more than two stars for the shere fact that out of the 10 tracks only about 3-4 are really original and both catchy. The tracks, "Show You", and "I Found it in You" are simply fillers. I would prefer the orignial Only U remix with Camron and Juelz Santana over the one used for this remix album. I am an devoted fan of Ashanti but this is not an album that you can listen through straight through. The Rock Wit U remix was great, the lyrics and the production get 5 stars. I am fund of the Breakup 2 Makeup (remix) as well. I love Ashanti and I think that she is a very talented and vocally matured artist but this album is not as fulfilling as its predecessors.
