no? what makes you say that?

The club would normally announce something like that. It was also supposed to be a big announcement from NY. After seeing who it actually is though, it's not that exciting. The way it was played up I thought they would have someone that's currently making music.

Talk about irrelevant. Couldn't they have found someone else.

Ashanti was my college days.

Now, if Fat Joe came out and did the pregame or something with some of his Bronx rap, then I'd be hyped.

 

[Fantazma]

ah yes i do recall her during my JHS/ freshman HS year.

still cool i guess.

Ashanti was born in Long Island. Mary J. Blige - Bronx. Alicia Keys - Manhattan. Jennifer Lopez - Bronx. I guess they didn't want to shell out the greens for either of them.

JLo and Alicia Keys fees are probably insane. Maybe MJ had other commitments.

It's the front office's subtle way of encroaching into Cosmo's territory.
