NO… Not Puff or whatever he wants to call himself now.. (I actually hate him.) I’m bumping “Official Girl”
The funny thing is when I heard this song first it was sung by Karina Pasian. A beautiful singer/ pianist signed to Def Jam.
What a shock and surprise I got when I heard another version by my favorite non- singer Cassie.. “Official Girl” is Cassie’s first single off here non titled album that isn’t even coming out until September.
As much as I love Cassie I cannot ride with this blatant shit that happens in the industry everyday. (Myself Included!)
Karina recorded the song and killed it.. why isn’t it her first single??? Because Cassie and Diddy have more name recognition and frankly Puff has more money and more clout. So he flexes a lil’ money muscle, makes a phone call and voila!, Karina’s song is gone and it is Cassie’s first single!
I like the record so shout out to Timbaland’s puppet Danja and the wonderful songwriters that make up “The Clutch”. (Keri Hilson, I see you!) But I’mma rock with Karina’s superior version. She’s My “Official Girl”!
Listen to Karina’s “Official Girl” HERE *Get It While You Can*
Karina Pasian’s self titled debut album In stores June 3rd!
