THE 
February 27, 2007 Battle of the Beats…
In an earlier post we released, for your hearing pleasure, the song “Steam” by Nicole Scherzinger. Lo and behold – Ashanti the Cheshire Cat- has released her own lyrical howl sessions over a similar, if not the same, beat as Nicole’s “Steam.”
Hear the battle of the boom-kats for yourself:
Below is the original beat that was sampled for both Ashanti and Nicole. The track is called “Numbers” by Kraftwerk.

Nicole’s is totally better. Ashanti’s sucks and doesn’t show off her range at all.

nothin can touch the original, it just provokes a certain feeling, and I heard all of the time in the clubs in Detroit. and the 2 versions suck ass to me, though Nicole’s suck less.
