Plies - Want It, Need It ft. Ashanti

Artist: Plies

Featuring: Ashanti

Producer: J.R. Rotem

Album: Da Realist

Label: Big Gates/Slip-N-Slide/Atlantic

 More from this Artist

 Send Ringtones to Your Phone

Although all of Plies’ hit singles thus far (Shawty, Hypnotized, Bust It Baby (Pt. 2), Please Excuse My Hands, Put It on Ya) have been geared primarily towards a female audience, not one of them has featured a woman’s voice until now. On the newest single off his recently-released junior album, Da Realist, Plies talks about a certain lady who calls him when she Want It, Need It, as Ashanti brings her smooth and classy style to the forefront once again. The standout point by far, however, is J.R. Rotem‘s uber-soft production.  By the time this record reaches its peak, however, we’ll probably be listening to the lead single off Plies’ fourth album, due out in the second quarter of ‘09.

This song first appeared on the Rap Chart on December 22, 2008

I hate the engineering mix on Ashanti's vocals! Why did they do that! This is nothing special from Plies...another female track. The hook is smooth...except for the mix. J.R's production is real smooth. I can throw this in rotations.

I always like Plies' lyrics- they SEXc...awww my goodness!...but I don't like how they featured Ashanti on this one. It's in rotation- Plies can do better and I've never been a fan of hers.

Is it ok to hate on Plies? Yes! Cause he simply can NOT rap. Not to mention his whole fake persona. I didn't even listen to it by the way.

Well Big-A that's just stupid. I mean even if I know i probably won't like a song because it's old school, I still give it a chance and listen to it and don't just give it a one star. If I remember right I think you're one of the ones who gets frustrated with me and say "oh, well your music tastes sucks...you should like this" or whatever (maybe not phrased like that)...but I mean at least I gave it the chance. And you??...you just mess up the rating simply cause you don't like all of that stuff about him and you give it a one?, damn.. So all in all I'm just saying don't rate when you don't even listen to a little bit of the song.


Done.lol.

So I can't figure out why some people hate on Plies. Dude doin what he gotta do to make money. At the end of the day it;s jus ENTERTAINMENT and he seems to have it down. For someone to vote witout listenin is jus ridiculous. Like Katt Williams said Let em hate bc thats what they here for. Dude a good business man. And always remember this his shit we votin on not yours so what gives you the reason to hate on someone gettin his. You don't like the song thats your preference but don't jus hate to hate. Wasted emotion.

Good job WOW. haha

I actually like Ashanti on this, she usually sounds horrible, this song is nice, i like the mix on her vocals and disagree with some of you. Plies did a good job, regardless of his character and what music he should be making, this is just a song, and its a nice collab.

J.R could have done better on this beat. Ashanti doesnt do anything for the track her voice/melody just blends with the track. Smooth production though has a 80s feel.

I really dont like plies because hes always talking about how hes gonna take some girls pants off and have sex with her. its really degrading. and plus all his songs sound the same. So to me this is nothing new. not feelin it and ashanti doesnt fit in in this track.

I like Plies. I don't think he's that great as a rapper, but I love his type of music, his style...I have to agree with DeeZul anyway, he's kinda grossy! I love Street Light but the lyrics are really grossy...and this one too I guess! But I can't help liking this, the production is sweet and sexy and Ashanti fits it in my opinion! Plies is rapping like Soulja Boy here lol

Wow! Plies is at it again. Keeping that freaky-deak music for all the lovers! He's found his formula and and for him it works! I love the original "Two Occasions" that this song samples from. The production was RITE! Big up to J.R. Rotem for doin' his thang!

Like Lloyd said - this is the year of the lover!!!!

Banger!

so people are still ratin on other stuff than this song. If you dont like plies and what he raps about dont come vote on a song of his jus to hate on him instead of the actual song. Degrading? I'm guessin you dont watch tv or other things these days if Plies bothers you. He is talkin bout what HE wants and as much as you might hate it I believe he has that RIGHT.

Plies is good with the "Ladies" Songs, but he does go hard when he wants for ex. Me and My goons, All Black, just to name a few. Kept it to real was real too, but this is about Want it , Need it, Ashanti did her thing, Plies stayed his path with the smooth lyrics. I like it but im more into the hood shit! 3 StArZ

haha someone above mentioned that Plies has become the new Ja Rule, lol i couldn't agree more! Plies is annoying but tolerable, i can understand why his singles are so popular. They apply that magic formula that Murder inc did so well in their hey-day - simple but catchy beat, lyrics aimed at females, big named guest artists singing the hook. All equals radio success..........i think the beat could have come way harder, it just sounds like an even more p*ssy version of Bust It Baby II (if thats possible) ...Ashanti was good though, have always enjoyed listening to her (and looking at her :P)
