The surprisingly dark and gory viral video promoting the music video isn't.
You'd think someone would give Ashanti's people a heads up regarding all the murders in Ward 5 lately before releasing a video where people are being brutally stabbed Manson style in Washington, DC and having "Black Children Will Die" (!!!) written in blood on a bathroom wall.
The video can be found on Ashanti's record label's website. I'm loathe to link to them, so here's the video (and a hat tip) to Jezebel.
If you find the record label's site, this shows up after the offensive video is finished.
If you can't read it, it's a form that lets you e-murder a friend with your choice of weapon. You can even upload pictures to really bloody them up.
Keep it classy, Ashanti.
UPDATE: Thanks to Terri for sending me this:
It is common knowledge in the black community that mainstream and popular r&b music has not been any good quality for the past 20-25 years.
ReplyDeleteSo why should 2008 be any different.
This latest controversy is nothing more than gimmicks and marketing schemes in an attempt at achieving record sales.
Very weak attempt at that.
I believe the phrase is "Stay Classy"
ReplyDeleteCome on, Russ. Is this "Why I Hate DC" or "Why I Hate Destiny's Child?"
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck does Ashanti have to do with this dump? Rusty, get your neck in order, before I wreck it.
ReplyDeleteThe murders in the video, along with the Black Children Will Die message, all take place in DC.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fucking stretch Ruster. The Godfather had a seen in DC, so is that next topic for this douche-log?
ReplyDeleteCheck yo self
ashanti lost a lost of weight, no?
ReplyDeleteRusty is a douche and everyone knows it! WTG
ReplyDeleteLMAO...the pic of the website has text at the bottom stating..."the district of columbia state police" somebody please tell her dumb ass DC isnt a state.
ReplyDeleteIf Rusty is a douche does that make Annon a rival turd sandwich?
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteAshanti's the worst; she used to be a poster child for what I liked to call "low self esteem R&B". I swear, one of her songs was like "And I love him but he beats me, and I'll never ever leave him..."
ReplyDeleteDIE RUSTY DIE
