Although I feel Ashanti is on another level and should be up there, I give her props for doing this on her own, funding and promoting her own material. For an independent artist to sell about 30,000 first week is awesome being that there are artist in major labels w a hit single on radio and sell about the same figures. Congrats Ashanti! I want you to win boo! BRAVEHEART is a dope ass album. There are some good songs on there and if you loved her first album you will love this one... Ashanti deserves so much more credit ya'll! Quit the hating and give credit where it's due. ;-)
