By the time her two tracks, "Pull Over" and "Da Baddest *****," turned out to be national smash hits, she had already been considered as the part of women rappers' new wave consisted of the notorious Lil' Kim, Da Brat and Foxy Brown. to be certified Gold status by RIAA while made its way to reach the 33rd rank on The Billboard 200. To Trina's delight, this first effort resulted very well as it wonderfully sold for around 700, 000 copies in U.S. Subsequently signed under Slip-N-Slide Records following this initial success, she quickly set out to develop her own singing career, smoothly releasing her debut album "Da Baddest *****" on March 7, 2000. Interested in her raw talent, the gifted artist then included her in the making of his single, "Nann *****," which surprisingly became a regional hit, even managed to enter the top 3 of Billboard Hot Rap Singles in 1999. The music and dancing are not bad.A native of Miami who was born with the name Katrina Le'verne Taylor on December 3, 1978, Trina originally underwent a profession as a real estate agent before she was spotted by Trick Daddy, a local Dirty South rapper.
Abid Abdul Kader, business management, MGU Sharbil Ra?ad, human resources, Middlesex University Dubai I believe that all Arabic rap singers who produce their tracks in English should take My Struggle as an example.
What also impresses me in this track is the fact that he raps in Arabic towards the end of it. It?s a fusion rap track depicting Majid's point of view of today's events. Other hot tracks on this amazing compilation album are Fat Joe's Does Anybody Know, M.I.A's Galang and Dilated Peoples' Back Again.Įxpect to hear most of these tracks on your local radio stations and if you are truly a rap and hip-hop music fan or a DJ, you would definitely want to add this hot album to your collection.Ī really impressive tune worth checking out on The Best Rap and Hip-Hop Album 2006 is Majid's track My Struggle. It?s calmer than her usual tracks and perhaps it?s the catchy melodic tune that attracts me to it. My favourite in the album is Missy Elliott's track Teary Eyed. Rupee?s Tempted to Touch is another track that I was shocked to find on this 2006 album. It is an old tune and instead of it, they could have added any of Sean Paul's more recent hits such as Temperature. The first track in the album is Sean Paul's We Be Burnin'. Overall, I am satisfied with mostly all the tunes on this CD however, I am a bit disappointed by some of the tracks. The Best Rap and Hip-Hop Album 2006 is exactly what the name states! It is a compilation of all the best tunes you have or may have not heard. If you are a hardcore rap fan, the album definitely comes highly recommended! The Princess will definitely keep your feet stomping! It features Jazze Pha and contains samples from Funk You Up. As a matter of fact, if given a chance, I think that It's Your B-day is a potential UAE music chart topper. Other hot tunes on this 13-track album are: Don?t Trip, Sum Mo and It's Your B-day. It?s about how a relationship can go wrong even if you put so much into it! Trina comments that Here We Go is from "a real-life experience". I think that the hottest tune on the album is Here We Go, which features Destiny's Child Kelly Rowland. All beats and tunes are "tight" however, I would prefer it if she would stop referring to herself in an abusive manner all the time. This doesn't change the fact that this album is solid all the way from beginning to end. However, it only makes me wonder if Glamorest Life would have survived if it was only Trina on the album. Perhaps life just can't be as glamorous as she makes it look, but she knows that it's her job to do so.Įxcept for Reach Out, Trina features many well-known rappers on her tracks such as Dre, Lil Wayne, Kelly Rowland and Snoop Dogg, which is probably the fact that makes this album intriguing. This album compared to her first two, Da Baddest and Diamond Princess, is focused more on a Trina that has lived and learned a lot about the business.
