A French model turns singer thanks to her husband, cheesy crooner Andy Williams, and she makes better music than he ever did by consistently making cover tunes that defy haters nationwide. If you’ve seen a retro 60’s movie then you’ve heard Claudine. All her work is recommended to anyone whose methadone prescription has just run out.

I listened to this single and thought nothing of it. Two days later, I’m yelling ‘Bloodshed Hoa Hoo’ while walking around and had to dig it back out. Can you imagine if Ol’ Dirty Bastard could have teamed with these guys? It could have been more hype than his team up with Insane Clown Posse. You’re right. I’m talking crazy now.

She’s got a great voice, and half her songs from the album were written by Curtis Mayfield (with him playing guitar too), but this is the only worthwhile track she ever put to wax. Why? Attitude! Look at that scowl. Girl, please! Who do you think you are?

Confession time. I’ve known Cookie Crew was dope for 10 years, but I hadn’t heard this mix before. When you listen to this, keep in mind that this is 1988, and here’s this pre-pubescent duo slinging rhymes faster and better than anyone 15 years later. And they were managed by Russell Simmons no less!!! What kept the Cookie Crew from reaching that brass ring? I blame a glass ceiling created by Linda Clifford’s attitude. Girl, get over yourself!

I started liking this song because of the cat meow in the background. But after a few listens, I started wondering if it was a cat at all. It could be a lady trying to sound like a cat, or a rapper saying “yow” on a sped-up tape. Could be a cat, though. But cats don’t really sound like that, do they?
