Ciara talks "Fantasy Ride", T-Pain, Missy Elliott + shades 'Vibe' (2008)

In a rare fall of 2008 interview, Grammy Award-winning singer Ciara stops by to chat about the progress of her then-pending third album "Fantasy Ride" (2009), and goes on to discuss the working nature of T-Pain ("Go Girl") alongside encourage young viewers to participate in the North American '08 election. The reigning princess of Crunk&B also critiques 'Vibe Magazine' for not framing her steamy photoshoot spread per a tamer, classier tone. Ciara also briefly namechecks best friend Missy Elliott, who receives a shout-out at 07:57 (hear the crowd go crazy!) Love Missy's & Ci-Ci's friendship :-)

Ciara low key looks like All For You era Janet Jackson.

You’re so right

[@michaelspencer6121]

You beat me to it!!!

[@pritpala]

It's what she was trying imitate, like 100% the rest of her career.

[@CiaraContent]

@@pritpala When has Janet ever made crunk music? Stop being bitter, jans and Ci are in a good place

[@ByondAvrg]

@@CiaraContent wha? Janet is her inspiration & she’s not shy about it. She emulates her style and has a similar personality

[@CiaraContent]

loved this interview

[@Tuttutts]

Looking back, I wish they had continued promoting Go Girl and kept some of Fantasy Ride's outtakes such as "Secret" and "Flaws & All". They should've released that Like A Surgeon video too.

[@soofficiallybb]

Same and I agree!

[@CiaraContent]

She never wanted to release Go Girl and for good reason. it was a weak single, she had much stronger material

[@DonnieMajestic]

"flaws and all" was a Basic Instinct scrap track

[@Tuttutts]

@@DonnieMajestic I saw a comment from the song's producer under a fan-made video for the track posted on here. He claimed it was recorded during the Fantasy Ride sessions and the version that leaked isn't the final product and that he has multiple versions.🤷🏾‍♂️

[@DonnieMajestic]

@@Tuttutts really ? Wow . The first time I heard of the song before it leaked was a press release for basic instinct it was listed as an album track however a lot of times songs that don’t make they album they were intended for get carried over (attempted to in this case) to the next album.

[@soofficiallybb]

Omg, i remember this interview and my memory knows this.

[@HollyTrapwood]

[@marcospinellijr.5766]

I remember this episode, she’s talking about the biggest election year in history and I didn’t vote because I was a minor and I did not make it to 18 years old Good times watching 106 & Park and Ciara is way too fine to watch “access granted” go girl video premiere. 🥰🥰 Oh! T-pain is too hilarious 😂 😂😂😂

[@soofficiallybb]

Same, I was myself and i remember it like crazy.
