i saw the interview with ashanti "i'm doing all the work on writing and singing this song and they gave it to her" but then she tried to come back and say "but i was young and this was my dues" i mean people gave her entire songs that she didn't have to worry about writing,producing, or even singing.she just had to mixed her nonsinging voice on some of the lyrics while someone else sang the whole chorus. you forget how many things were handed to jlo. She is a great performer and worked hard for her legacy BUT Beyonce stans burn me up getting so up in damn arms if someone says anything wrong about her. Look, I'm not taking shit away from Beyonce.

You can also read about how her label wanted to block 1 thing from getting released/wanted her to remake it or give the beat to J. They used his go-go beats for Crazy in Love and dropped it in 2003 before 1 THING came out in 2005. Mind you this was late 02, early 03 ish when Beyonce was ready to hit the scene solo but her single from Gold member flopped and her team and her Dad went to the Columbia big wigs and stole (*cough* sorry). The tea in the Alicia Keys thread said that shortly after Amerie released All I Have in 2002 that her and her collaborator/producer Rich Harrison started prepping and recording for her Touch album. Ugh.lemme explain as best I can without getting frigging irritated.
