Ashanti Video: Ja Rule – Mesmerize ft Ashanti

"Mesmerize" is the second single by Ja Rule from his album The Last Temptation.  The Ashanti Mesmerize video was inspired by the film Grease. The song ends abruptly with Ja Rule's friends emerging from a black van and asking him if he's riding with them. After he hesitates and turns to Ashanti, she says she's riding if he's riding. They enter the van and after a few quick cuts they emerge and Ja Rule begins rapping "Destiny," an uptempo "hardcore" street song that contrasts with the more mellow "Mesmerize." The video ends with a crowd of Black men marching the streets and holding up various signs, including tributes to late rapper Tupac and DJ Jam-Master Jay.
