"THIS RELEASE IS FROM 1989, NOT 1995....ONCE HAILED AS THE FEMALE " RAKIM ", ANTOINETTE, COULD DEFINATELY HANG WITH THE MEN, WITH HER ROUGH, EAST-COAST, LYRICAL STYLE..." WHO'S THE BOSS " ( THE 12" EP VERSION IS BETTER...THE BEAT IS TIGHT!!! ) IS ONE OF THE BEST TRACKS OFF THE ALBUM...
***BACK WHEN MC LYTE AND LATIFAH WERE SHINING, ANTOINETTE TOOK A BACK SEAT AND WAS LOST IN THE MIX...GIVE HER HER DUE, AND FIND THIS ON CASSETTE OR / CD.....
**WHAT HAPPENED TO FEMALES IN RAP???....WHEN IS THE JEDI MIND TRICKS AND ALL THEIR SIDE PROJECTS GOING TO PUT DOWN A WOMAN IN THE CREW..NOT VERY REVOLUTIONARY / GROUND-BREAKING, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY WOMEN REPRESENTING...ALL THAT TALK ABOUT RELIGION, PHAROAHS, AND THE BIBLE IS PRETTY TRADITIONAL ( NOT REALLY AGAINST THE STATUS-QUO / SYSTEM) AS FAR AS HOW WOMEN ARE REPRESENTED...JUST SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT, NOT A NEGATIVE COMMENT REALLY...
IF YOU WANT SIMILAR HARD-CORE STYLES FROM A FEMALE, AND FOR LESS THE PRICE....SEEK OUT DEADLY VENOMS (FROM THE WU FAMILY )"
