Trina album Da Baddest Bitch

Trina
Album : Da Baddest Bitch
Release Date: March 21, 2000
Label: Atlantic / Wea

review : Let’s be real. Trina can rhyme a little bit, but she’s not out of this world like other reviewers want to make her. This album, for the most part, comes down to beats. She shows some promise on the very first track "The Big Lick", but after that she starts to cool off. There really aren’t any wack beats on the album so all the shortcomings come on the lyrical side of the album. On tracks like "If U", Trina has trouble staying on beat, so the song is pretty wack. And the skits are straight corny.

The CD is good for what it’s supposed to be good for though: sex driven rhymes over bass heavy tracks. The joke is on you if you copped this album and didn’t expect a lot of sex talk. She made her name from it, she has to do it. And she does it better than Foxy or Kim did it if you ask me. But like I said, Trina can rhyme for a female. She’s won’t be on Jean Grae or Lauryn Hill’s level in this lifetime, but she’s not as wack as Khia, Charli Baltimore, or Amil. Overall, this is a good party CD. Don’t buy this CD in hopes of finding depth or astounding lyricism. You won’t find it here. But it’s great for parties and that’s what it’s supposed to be good for.
