If a blog somewhere mentions a new Trina track, you can be assured that it will mentioned in this space by your guest editor. I get the feeling Cake & Ice Cream only posted the Trina’s “Look Back At Me” to use some wire photos they had laying around of Kenyon Martin’s birthday party, but still, the criminally underappreciated label Slip-N-Slide deserves whatever virtual ink it can garner, especially if it means I can present you with “Pull Over” from her first album, Da Baddest Bitch.
Trina’s new disc, cleverly titled Still The Baddest, should be released at some point in February, but after the disappointment of 2006′s Glamorest Life, it feels a little like the glory days have passed us Trina fans by, as she appears on nearly every remix aimed at the Miami market from “Wipe Me Down” to “Lip Gloss” and the law of diminishing returns sets in. Diamond Princess, we’ll always have the memories, if nothing else.
New Music from Trina [Cake & Ice Cream]
There is a Trina track — I can’t remember which one — that talks about how, when she’s in bed, Trina wants a guy who can “pull the weave and turn my eyes Chinese.”
When I heard that, I realized Trina’s glory days will never, EVER be over in my book.
Thank you for keeping me up to date, Dan.
@slowburn: FYI, that was the What’s Your Fantasy remix, although it might have been Shawna who had that line.
To make up for it, Trina does say on the track “Getting buck wild no matter where we are/Indy 500 in the back of the car”, which is pretty great.
Has any rapper ever so brazenly proclaimed their bisexuality in a song that went top 5 on the rap charts? I mean, I don’t think she was serious either, but read the “Nann” lyrics, she was daaaamn committed to the role. Even as homophobic as hip-hop can be, you’d think some other woman would’ve seen the commercial potential in this. No, Tila Tequila doesn’t count.
Anybody remember hearing this song on Dark Angel?
She really can’t top a lyric like “Open up the door and walk straight in the house/Put your man down and put my cock in his mouth.” Everything from there is just a downward spiral into mediocrity and softness.
