Ashanti didn’t think that was a good idea.
In 2002, Irv Gotti used the Puff Daddy strategy to take a sample that Puffy himself had already used, feeding on nostalgia for the nostalgia-based Bad Boy era.
#Ashanti see my days are cold without you lyrics series#
In 1997, Puff Daddy had become an unstoppable pop force with a series of singles that relied on instantly-familiar samples. There’s something almost devious about that sample choice. But nothing lasts forever, and “Foolish,” Ashanti’s debut single, would also be her last time at #1. It felt like I lived entire lifetimes while that song was at #1.
And then “Foolish” fell out of the #1 spot. I started dating a girl, and then I stopped dating her. I went to a lot of shows and made a lot of friends.
Then I got sick of of putting Pfizer-branded disposable cameras into mailing packages, walked off the job one day, found another job selling shitty furniture in East Baltimore, and moved into my first apartment. I put a lot of Pfizer-branded disposable cameras into mailing packages while “Foolish” played on the radio in the warehouse. By the time the song fell from that top spot, I took my finals, graduated, moved back home with my parents, and got a temp job putting Pfizer-branded disposable cameras into mailing packages. I was a senior in college when “Foolish” reached #1. “Foolish” topped the Hot 100 for an astonishing 10 weeks, ruling the chart deep into the summer of 2002. Given all that buildup, it would’ve been at least a little bit shocking if Ashanti’s first single didn’t get to #1.Īshanti’s first single did get to #1, and then it stayed there forever. I can’t even imagine what was happening in Ashanti’s head during those few months.
Maybe it felt like it would last forever. And this was all happening as Ashanti was finally, at long last, debuting. Her chart takeover was sudden and immediate.
