Ashanti - Rain On Me | REACTION

[@joeyrose8214]

Ashanti writes all her music 🎼 Period!!!! ❤️Ashanti

[@mezmerized4lifejay654]

Ashanti was really big in the early 2000's. I like a lot of her music. Check out Ashanti's "Only You" it's a banger bro 🔥

[@johnrios7893]

I forgot about that song! Such a good one! This channel reminds me of music i love but forgot about for a while.

[@silversagi]

Good choice, it’s one of Ashanti’s most unique songs

[@michaelantonio9845]

I agree also only you by ashanti as well

[@LA_Concr3t3ros3]

She wrote the lyrics and the video was for domestic abuse awareness. She is without a doubt one of the best, hands down.

[@christaspence7469]

Ashanti has them hits i feel like she’s underrated but I love Ashanti 😍😍

[@carriel9954]

Jack Reacts you should react to Ashanti rock with you. One of her best.

[@ryanlile6042]

@@JackReacts904 there's a longer version of this video that is more like a movie. You should really check that one out.

[@yolandaperry86]

Ashanti writes all of her own music. I'm not sure if this song had anything to do with her personal life. But I'm pretty sure a few of her other songs her a personal connection such as The Way That I Love You and Never Should Have.

[@marklouis1890]

Ashanti was my girl back in the 2000s. I had a major crush on her

[@123reletive123]

Unlike Jlo 💀💀

[@specialolympicschamp9136]

Ja Rule wrote her songs wtf you talking about

[@yolandaperry86]

@@specialolympicschamp9136 Lol you might want to go back and check the credits 😂

[@salwashabazz7329]

Not only did she write her music and music for others, Ashanti is one of the very few artists today that owns ALL of her music.

[@angellopolys2494]

Omg! These R&B gems 😍

[@artgroupie]

Ashanti had a short run (on a mainstream level), but she gave us some amazing music. Her and Ja Rule ran radio around this time. You couldn’t escape them.

[@Markadown]

I’m surprised no one has suggested “Rain” by SWV. Especially with this song melody in the chorus.

[@fredasia.]

Right, I love that song❤️

[@RONJAE212003]

Yessssssss ASHANTI IS A COLD WRITER

[@khalilthomas9143]

In case u didn’t know bro Ashanti ran music in 2002. I remember being 6 going on 7, being by the radio and they would play foolish over and over again on the radio. Her first album is a classic 🔥

[@aaliyahthomas1456]

When her first album came out I used walk around the block in my neighborhood with my CD player and listen to it on repeat 😂 #memories

[@andy1181-l3m]

Man I havent heard this one in a long time...good track

[@karank0]

Please do Ashanti - Rock with you One of her best songs and I believe it was from the same album...

[@silversagi]

karank0 correct , rain on me was the second single, rock with you was the first

[@kevaunmitchell1316]

I bet y'all didn't know that this was sampled from a isaac hayes song

[@kevaunmitchell1316]

@@JackReacts904 you welcome

[@commontonesmusic]

"The Look of Love"- Issac Hayes

[@kevaunmitchell1316]

@@commontonesmusic yes

[@salwashabazz7329]

I believe it was also on the soundtrack to the original, Superfly. Isaac Hayes did the entire soundtrack for that movie.

[@TARLEASE02]

Kevaun I was just about to post this then saw your comment. 😁

[@ILLWill1027]

This is my Wife Ashanti's best song by far! So 🔥 yet so powerful and just a great flawless track!

[@Theterminato2013]

Totally agree with you. Everything about this song is very powerful, the emotion, the lyrics, the tone and the important message of handling abusive relationships.

[@kashmeremajesty2163]

I agree. It also showed a side of Ashanti that proved she had acting skills and can tell a powerful story of a woman who is a famous and public figure, but privately she is dealing with an abusive and jealous boyfriend who not only verbally and physically abuse her, but he eventually cheat on her and tells her that he made her famous and she wouldn't be nothing without him. I was shocked my first time seeing this video and I also remember Foolish which shares a similar story when it come to a cheater who can be abusive ( the scene where Terrence Howard is seen throwing a lamp at her) and in The Way That I Love You where she plays a woman who killed her boyfriend due to his cheating. She is just perfect

[@abartlett1862]

Ashanti - rain on me. That’s song sound so good that you would think that it is based on experience but I don’t know for sure. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t.

[@chineeboy18]

Gosh, she did amazing music back in the day. Another great post Jack.

[@KPCeeJ]

Ashanti writes all her music. Glad to see her get the recognition. Only U shows a different side of her.

[@eskayh7734]

I was a big Ashanti fan in her heyday and I still listen to some of her music, like this song and its parent album. One of her best, one of my faves, and a great pick.

[@amberrook2951]

Ashanti “only you” one of my favourites!💫

[@kevaunmitchell1316]

Both songs was sampled from isaac hayes 1970s song look of love may he rest in peace but if u didn't know he also played chef on south park from 1997 on up til his death in 2008 him and comedian Bernie Mac Died A day Apart in August 2008

[@hellokittylove89]

Isn't it crazy how they still use chefs voice overs on south Park even after his death??

[@lashondajohnson9027]

Good evening, Yes, Ashanti wrote this. In fact, she wrote every song she ever sang herself. She has also written songs for other artist as well.

[@wade1593]

there’s like 3 different versions of this video 1 is the music video , 2 is the performance version ( which is you seeing rn ) and the long story one ... I wish you can look at the story version one so you can see the back story on this concept

[@DajuanH.]

The performance version of this video was always my least favorite...to much of the story was cut, he definitely should have reacted to the music video version( I love the way it was cut) or the story version.

[@shante70sb]

Dajuan H. The story version was better than this one

[@princeedition]

Man, congrats on your subs! - You're getting, like, 100 by the days! Ashanti was my childhood crush! I was her stan before I knew what a stan was...but then I became a Lamb. Lol ....But you should react to Ashanti - Don't leave me alone. You'll love it! 😀😀😀

[@nikkidupras3667]

This sample is very old I believe from a 60s -70s song...it was on the "Dead Presidents" movie coincidentally Larenz Tate who played the abusive bf in this video is in this movie.

[@salwashabazz7329]

It was originally on the soundtrack of Superfly (1972). Isaac Hayes did the soundtrack for that entire movie.

[@SamanthaD89]

She has an extended version of this video that actually acts out the entire thing. It’s really deep and really shows the message behind the song. After everything that has came out about her sister being in an abusive relationship and dealing with domestic violence, I can definitely see why she wrote this song and chose the concept for the video.

[@MyKindaArt]

She’s one of the few artist, like Mariah Carey, that’s writes all her music.

[@DesignzRUs]

Shanti a dope writer

Ahh no

[@shelbyscoggins2451]

Love ALL your reactions, and yes, she writes her own songs as well as for others...quite underrated if you ask me...the album this song was from..whole thing fire!🔥

[@nellj9495]

Ashanti first album was very good and catchy like others have said. Since you have covered a lot of brandy, can you do more of her older stuff "Best Friend" and "I Wanna Be Down" and Boys II Men "Bended Knee" "I'll Make Love to You" and "Water Runs Dry"!

[@6ixboss608]

Rain On Me is def Top 5 Ashanti for me. Dope reaction. Please react to Brandy's Put It Down feat Chris Brown

[@sminno]

I think Ashanti said the song was based on either a friend or a cousin. She never named them of course. Or I could be thinking about Eve's Love is blind.

[@DSGodiva]

She deserved better than Murder Inc.

[@Youth22873]

Can you react to “Promise” by Ciara?

[@teriannejohn7381]

Please do! One of her best songs!

[@novalight4863]

Sample was Isaac Hayes Look of Love...also used on Frankie-If I Had You

Aww I was hoping you would have reacted to the other version of this video. It's much more powerful.

YES. the alternative extended version is better

Dre used this sample on Snoops Doggystyle CD on the song G's Up Hoe's down, but Isaac Hayes didn't clear the sample and the cd's had to be reprinted, however the first batch got distributed without permission. That's why some have the song and some don't

Hey Jack, I really have to recommend you to listen to Runway, it is from Mariah's latest era. Runway is a Japan bonus track from her album CAUTION. She produced this one with Skrillex and it shows his love for Mariah's Butterfly album which he used to listen to it with his mom. Mariah sampled herself with the "fly" run from her song Butterfly and she sung that run in her whistle register over the belt at the end. She's a genius! Also, she sampled her other song, We Belong Together, by using the piano melody!
