Trina

Trina (born Katrina Taylor on December 3, 1978 in Miami, Florida) is a African-American female rapper. Trina emerged at the start of the 21st century with a raunchy style and attitude and vulgar lyrics, following in the vein of Lil Kim and Foxy Brown. Trina is signed to Atlantic Records through the Slip-N-Slide imprint, abd is a labelmate of Trick Daddy. Her debut album, Da Baddest Bitch, was released in 2000 and is best remembered for its hit single "Pull Over".

"Pull Over", which featured Trick Daddy on the chorus, became a success partially due to its being something of an answer single to several past hip-hop songs such as Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back". The lyrics to "Pull Over" allude to Black Rob's "Whoa!", Juvenile's "Back That Ass Up", and Sisqo's "Thong Song", from which some of "Pull Over"'s lyrics are directly lifted.

"Baddest Bitch", another single from the album, though not a radio or video hit received heavy MTV2 airplay due to its clever spoofing of the Master Card "Priceless" commercials of the day. In the video, Trina systematically destroys a cheating boyfriend's mansion and possessions one by one, and the value of each item is displayed on screen as it is ruined. The video ends with the words, "Getting Revenge On Your Boyfriend...Priceless".

Trina has since released a couple other singles of her own, notably "Told Y'all" from the All About The Benjamins movie soundtrack in 2002 and "B R Right", a nasty duet with Ludacris and the first single off of her 2003 sophomore album. However, mainstream success has mainly only come to Trina thus far in the form of her featured status on other artists' hit singles, for example Missy Elliott's "One Minute Man" and the remix of Ludacris' "What's Your Fantasy".

However, mainstream success has mainly only come to Trina thus far in the form of her featured status on other artists' hit singles, for example Missy Elliott's "One Minute Man" and the remix of Ludacris' "What's Your Fantasy". A comeback was attempted in 1994 with Peace Sign, but the album flopped (see 1994 in music). Trina has since released a couple other singles of her own, notably "Told Y'all" from the All About The Benjamins movie soundtrack in 2002 and "B R Right", a nasty duet with Ludacris and the first single off of her 2003 sophomore album. By 1984, War was a touring band only. The video ends with the words, "Getting Revenge On Your Boyfriend...Priceless". After a few unsuccessful attempts at recouping, War's Outlaw (1982 in music) was a moderate success, but the group was unable to keep any momentum as members came and went. In the video, Trina systematically destroys a cheating boyfriend's mansion and possessions one by one, and the value of each item is displayed on screen as it is ruined. The line-up began to fall apart in 1978 when Dickerson quit and Charles Miller was murdered (see 1978 in music).

"Baddest Bitch", another single from the album, though not a radio or video hit received heavy MTV2 airplay due to its clever spoofing of the Master Card "Priceless" commercials of the day. A compilation of jams called Platinum Jazz was a surprise success in 1977 (see 1977 in music). The lyrics to "Pull Over" allude to Black Rob's "Whoa!", Juvenile's "Back That Ass Up", and Sisqo's "Thong Song", from which some of "Pull Over"'s lyrics are directly lifted. Why Can't We Be Friends (1975 in music) sold well, and included "Low Rider", perhaps their most well-remembered song. "Pull Over", which featured Trick Daddy on the chorus, became a success partially due to its being something of an answer single to several past hip-hop songs such as Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back". That was followed by the sligtly disco influenced "Gypsy Man" from the 1973 album Deliver The Word. Her debut album, Da Baddest Bitch, was released in 2000 and is best remembered for its hit single "Pull Over". After a highly unsuccessful album, War, War's The World Is a Ghetto reestablished them at the forefront of popular funk and included the 1972 hit "The Cisco Kid".

Trina is signed to Atlantic Records through the Slip-N-Slide imprint, abd is a labelmate of Trick Daddy. In 1971, Burdon left the group in the middle of a European tour, claiming he was too exhausted to go on (see 1971 in music).

Trina emerged at the start of the 21st century with a raunchy style and attitude and vulgar lyrics, following in the vein of Lil Kim and Foxy Brown. "Spill the Wine" became a hugely popular single, and the follow-up, The Black Man's Burdon, was almost as successful as the first. 2002: "Told Y'all". Burdon changed the name to War and the new line-up, with Oskar, began recording in 1969 and released Eric Burdon Declares War in 1970 (see 1970 in music). 2002: "No Panties". In 1968, the Creators became Nightshift and started performing with Deacon Jones, a football player and singer (see 1968 in music).
