Rapper
Trina hopes to pick up where
Lil' Kim,
Da Brat, and a host of other potty-mouthed hardcore gals left off, rhyming about sex and her ability to go at it all night and her quest to find a man willing to do the same for her. By the end of her debut album, it all gets a bit monotonous. Only so many sleazy sex rhymes are tolerable before they become weary.
Da Baddest Bitch is at its best when
Trina steps out of the gutter and cops a Miami bass beat aimed more toward the dancefloor than the bedroom. The title track and "Off Glass," as well as guest performances from
Trick Daddy,
Twista, and J-Shin, keep the momentum relatively steady. [The CD was also released with a bonus track.] ~ Michael Gallucci
