“Clear It Out” – Review Of Trina’s Still The Baddest
ALBUM REVIEWS By TC on April 3, 2008 at 1:41 pm
It’s amazing how far a slick tongue and pin-up girl body can take you. Miami’s diamond princess, Trina used her potty-mouthed lyrics to gain notoriety in the Rap game and her voluptuous curves to grace countless magazine covers. With her omnipresent visibility in thongs and swimsuits, one would think her recording career had become secondary, if nonexistent all together. But music is what pays the bills and Ms. M.I.A. is back on her fourth album to let the world know that she’s Still The Baddest.
Possibly the biggest constituent to Trina’s longevity is her audience. As the voice of the sassy, urban, independent female, she’ll always have a choir to preach to. So when you hear the trumpeting synthesizers of “Single Again” come on in the club, fellas look out. The defiant sing-a-long chorus is conceivably something all ladies can relate to. At times, Trina brandishes a much needed upgrade in her pen game. Showing some flex on “Still The Baddest,” (“Observe the persona/fuck the feedback) and the edgy “Clear It Out” make for acceptable fodder, and she sounds extremely comfortable with labelmate Rick Ross riding shotgun on “Hot Commodity.”
Unsurprisingly, the baddest bitch spends too much time reiterating what we already know. Whether she’s talkin’ dirty after dark on “Phone Sexx” or bragging bout her sunshine on “Killing You Hoes,” Still The Baddest is nothing short of unoriginal. One minute it’s “I Got A Thang For You” then the next “I Wish I Never Met You.” Never does she take time to scratch the surface on her personal turmoils or give the girls who look up to her some of life’s lessons. Not to say Trina’s expected to deliver Notable Quotables when she rocks a mic(rophone), but after a decade in the game, a little craftiness on her records shouldn’t be too much to ask for.
With production like J-Rock’s Casio® keyboard hodgepodge on “Look Back At Me” and Missy’s best Ringling Bros. rendition on “I Got A Bottle” weighing the LP down even further, Trina gets an A for attitude, and a counseling statement for effort. Hopefully next time around, we’ll get more of an artistic angle because like Trina without visuals, Still The Baddest just isn’t all that appealing.

======================================
I feel for the parents of ANY girl that thinks Trina is a role model.
i second what EF said.

@ Bigga
Tell Khia good luck with ANY Cigs if we get a hold of her album lol

Anyone else think its funny that Lil Wayne is on the “Single Again” remix?
that khia review might be the funniest thing i’ve read in 08. . . . and i like to XXL!
@ Thugnificence:
Naw with all that lean he is dranking on; he thought he was in the studio with Eminem!!! LOL!!!
@ TC:
Damn Khia looks like she had atleast 5 cigs outted on her in her lifetime; you mean that alone doesn’t earn her 1/2 a cig. LOL!!!
OMG sitting here on the train reading that other review of TRINAs cd…
Everyone is looking at me like that Nicka is Crazy!!#%
That was a good mofo laff!!!!
^ I am telling you, that Khia she cant rhyme to save her life, and she did a episode of How I’m living from somebodies elses home. But she is one funny Broad. I lost half of my Breakfast laughing from reading it this morning.
Damn Khia looks like she had atleast 5 cigs outted on her in her lifetime
========================================
ROFL.
LOL!
Fuc that- I’m a Trina Fan she always true too self – not a role model or for “girls who look up too her” I hope there r none but the baddest bitch will alwayz stick too just that” I can fuc whoever I want” and Khia-who? she still alive somewhere!!!
Oh yeah TC – good write up for the album what they pay u? U were way nicer than expected!!!
Khia is such a classy broad.
it’s almost impossible to be a dope, commercially viable female in the game. What little bit of flavor Ms. T had has been sucked out of her and she’s been injected with this “hood hoe” stereotypical swag, subject matter and marketing scheme.
Black female emcees get mashed into one of two boxes—Clear Heel Rappers (my coochie is so ill, my fashion game is so tight, and yo man got me on speed dial/in his mySpace Top 8) or Jean Grae Emcees–dope but nobody cares cuz you ain’t naked and might be better than a lotta guys.
And why does Trina look like L’il Ma pledging a Sorority?
This is Raven Simone after Lipo…
God help this thing we love called hiphop. it’s hurtin’ bad.
Old as the Orange and White Bucs jerseys. DAMN
But if she wanted to be real funny she would have pulled out the USFL reference.
2 reviews in one. TSS is MAJOR all day an day
all of you bitchs on here need to stop the hating but you know what don’t ever stop hating. bitchs like yall give her so much boost in her life and you can’t take it away.
