In life, every thing always comes back around 360 degrees, and Miami’s Princess, Trina sure adheres to that rule with her fourth album Still Da Baddest (derived from her first album, Da Baddest Bitch). After an intro that includes a checklist of how to put the perfect female together, the album starts off with “Still The Baddest.” As she explains how she’s still the ‘baddest,’ she borrows Biggie’s “It was all a dream” line from “Juicy” as part of her hook.

 “Killing You Hoes” is just how it sounds—she’s talking about how she’s on top, and lines like, “I can f*ck a n*gga in a Bentley, or in a dump/you get your money pieces, I get mine in a lump” help to solidify her statements.

Killer Mike adds some male influence on “Look Back At Me.” The song is pretty catchy, and Trina’s content is geared toward men pleasuring her down below, so of course Killer Mike’s verse shares the same ideals, but from a man’s point of view.

Trina takes a break from the overused raunchy sex metaphors that have been around since the beginning of time and gets a little serious on “I Got A Thing For You” (feat. Keyshia Cole). It’s a typical ‘boy meets girl story’ and Trina sounds sincere about her affection, while Ms. Cole co-signs on the hook. The party g ets started with “I Got A Bottle” (feat. Missy). The carnival-type production is adequate enough for both women to brag about how they party and spend money like water.

“I Wish I Never Met You” (feat. Shonie) is another serious spot on the album where Trina tears herself away from the subject of material items like money, the party life, and her vagina and opts to get a little somber as she tells the story of a cheating boyfriend. “Clear It Out” is one of the stand out tracks on the album where she clears the air about certain situations with lines like, “I’m setting new standards for women rappers embracing/my chronological makeup will switch a b*tch pace up.” But Trina saves the best for last (Meaning: Last song on the album) with “Hot Commodity” (feat. Rick Ross). The track features solid production with both Miami natives feeding off each other perfectly.

Other songs like “Traffic Stop” (feat. Pitbull), and “Phone Sexxx” (feat. Qwote) are cool, but they’re just more of the same material that people have grown to know from Trina. On this album, she doesn’t venture too much out of her comfort zone, as she stays in her lane and speaks upon topics that she’s familiar with—i.e. sex, clothes, money, and parties. Her simple flow mixed in with a majority of average production might make a big splash on South Beach, but that splash might be reduced to small puddles of water when it comes to other regions.
