Trina - Diamond Princess

This album sees Trina joined by a star-studded roster of incredible guests such as Eve, Missy Misdemeanor Elliot, Jagged Edge, Ludacris, Fabolous and Tweet ('No Panties'). With Diamond Princess, the bad girl who first turned heads with the raunchy rhymes on 2000s RIAA gold certified Slip-N-Slide, Atlantic Records debut, Da Baddest Bitch, is in control and badder than ever. 2002. Album Description

Nice Album...

Okay, I just want to point out to all potential buyers....

If you actually LOOK at the cover of this album, look at the song titles, and actually THINK that there is going to be alot of heart-felt rapping in there, and positivity for the youth, etc. etc. then you're obviously mistaken.

The music on "Diamond Princess", for what it is, is AWESOME. The beats, the flows.. Trina even spits out some nice lines in alot of the songs. I just really think that people under-rate her, because they are too focused on the "sex talk", and whatever else Trina is known for.

It is a fact that Trina can rap, and this album displays it. If she couldn't rap, then why is Missy Elliott, Ludacris, Fabolous, or Eve doing songs with her? Why did Rah Digga, one of the hardest female rappers EVER, make a song with her called "Gangsta Queens?"

Trina is no Roxanne Shante, but she can hold her own. Her voice and her flow is all unique. She also has witty lyrics, and yet at times nasty/abrasive/arrogant/etc lyrics. Which I love.

This whole album is great, my favorite tracks have got to be:

Hustling
Told Yall
Rewind That Back
B R Right
U & Me
Nasty B****
No Panties
How We Do
Ladies 1st
100%
Do You Want Me

The only song I really don't care for is "Kandi Gurl"..it just doesnt fit the theme of the album.

Anyways, if you're a person who only likes serious stuff, then this album ISNT for you.

If you're a person who likes to have fun, and don't mind hearing explicit lyrics from time to time, then DEFINATELY pick this up.


Trina has my support all the way. March 20, 2008

OK

I really like her as an artist overall, but I was not a huge fan of this CD - there were a few tracks that she laid out that I liked, but overall I feel she has more to offer us that what she put onto this...I am still a fan, and will look forward to better material from her in the future. She's going to be around a while! December 12, 2007

GARBAGE!

This album got one star because there is no option for 0! Trina has not been able to come close to her first album yet! What happened?!?! Whos writing her lyrics?, I'd be embarrassed to admit that I actually wrote this CD if I were Trina. When will she grow up? The cd is pure trash and I want my money back! August 7, 2006

-A While Ago Review- Diamond Princess by Trina

Trina's second album Diamond Princess is a step forward from her debut album Da Baddest B*tch. Now while lyrically she may have not grown this time around, still one can't deny that her flow has gotten better. Diamond Princess has ups, downs, and at times streaks of greatness. And while this hasn't shown tremendous growth, it shows potential that she will one day be a hip hop icon in her own right.

However, things didn't start out on such a great note. While the talk show concept for "Hustling" is great in theory, it really didn't work out that well. However, things picked up with "Told Y'all" ft. Rick Ross. But things went down again when "Rewind That Back" ft. Missy Elliot followed. However, Trina does stay strong with songs such as "B R Right" ft. Ludacris, "Nasty B*tch" ft. Money Mark, and the lead single "No Panties" ft. r&b diva Tweet. The shining moments of the album is tied ... between Trina at her best and a cameo at their best. Trina at her best would be the great "You & Me", featuring a brilliant sample throughout that really shows what Trina is capable of. However, in "How We Do" Fabulous outshines Trina herself and just about makes the song his. These two moments make the whole album worth the listen in it's self.

Sadly though, things can also go from great to mediocre to just plain bad. The mediocre would be songs such as "Ladies 1st" ft. Eve and "Do You Want Me" ft. Bathgate. The bad would be the childish "Kandi" ft. Lil' Briana (Trina's version of Lil' Shanice). Strangely though, I feel I should also find "Get This Money" bad, which is Trina's spoof on "The Conga" dance. But I don't, instead I find myself ignoring the childishness of it all and just bobbing my head side to side with the good beat. But still, this album is mediocre. While Trina's flow has gotten better, she is very limited in subject matter. Also, she needs to learn how to lyrically grab your attention and keep it for a full album, instead of relying on fellow hip hop cameos to do that job for her. However, Diamond Princess is still a treat, giving her the rightful title of the Queen of Miami. October 10, 2005
