After graduating from high school, she moved to New York City and studied acting at New York University. She also learned to play the guitar and sent a demo tape to the College Music Journal and Grand Royal, a record label headed by the Beastie Boys. Her debut album, Strictly Platinum, gained her some notoriety for being one of very few white rappers, as well as for her openness regarding her Jewish heritage and gender-related issues.

Some of the producers that worked with her include Prince Paul, Curtis Curtis, Beth Orton, Arthur Baker, Jacques Lu Cont, Junior Sanchez, Todd Terry, and DJ Mighty Mi from the High and Mighty.

Whoop! I'm making six bucks an hour!
Princess Superstar's song Bad Babysitter is a catchy and witty tune about a young lady who takes on a babysitting job while trying to find time to make out with her boyfriend. The first line of the chorus, "I'm a bad babysitter got my boyfriend in your shower!", sets the tone for the rest of the song; the singer is aware that she's not doing her job properly, but she doesn't care because she's having fun with her boyfriend. The juxtaposition of the inappropriate behavior with the low pay ("Whoop! I'm making six bucks an hour!") adds a layer of irony and humor to the song.
The lyrics touch on the rebellious and carefree spirit of youth, but also highlight the fact that sometimes people do things that are not responsible or ethical, just for the sake of their own pleasure. The song can be interpreted as a commentary on the modern society's obsession with self-gratification and instant gratification, and the consequences that come with it (in this case, neglecting someone else's children). Overall, Bad Babysitter is a fun and sassy anthem that celebrates the chaotic and unpredictable aspects of our lives, while also reminding us to be mindful of our actions and their impact on others.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm a bad babysitter got my boyfriend in your shower!
I am not a responsible caretaker as I have allowed my significant other to use your shower, which is inappropriate and violates the trust placed in me.
Whoop! I'm making six bucks an hour!
I am excited about my hourly wage of $6, which is likely lower than what I deserve for the level of responsibility I am failing to uphold.
