a cute look at a moment in time! this episode was inspired by the 2003 new york times article the solo beyoncé...she's no ashanti. i discuss:

• the musical landscape of the early aughts
• the impact of aaliyah's death
• ashanti's whirlwind
• trajectoryashanti's underrated traits
• beyonce's shaky transition
• the key argument of the new york times review
• why comparing beyoncé and ashanti is silly
