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.

  • ASHANTI!!! Her voice sounds refreshing. I can’t wait for her to come back.
