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.
Princess Superstar has collaborated with Kool Keith, Jon Spencer, MC Paul Barman, the High and Mighty, The Prodigy, Moby, Disco D and others. 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.
Her biggest single so far has been "Bad Babysitter," which was chart position #11 in the UK. In 2007, a mash-up was created using Princess Superstar's "Perfect" and "Exceeder" by DJ Mason. The resulting track was called "Perfect Exceeder." It has become another one of Princess Superstar's top songs.
I'm So Out of Control
Princess Superstar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh yeah, I'm so out of control
Oh yeah, I'm so out of control
Yeah
Oh my God, I mean, oh my Self, my tactics are fantastic
I have every single chart position, so bitchin'
Turn on VH1000, what do you see, behind the me
It's time to drop out all the rest of the celebrities
Those on TV and cinema screens, those famous for somethin'
And those famous for nothin'
It must only be me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me
But there are still places that don't kno my face
What is the market like in Cambodia, so what they don't got soda or rice
What they need is a big dance hit to feel nice, yeah
Duplicant CC5794, get over there and learn the language
You might wanna bring a couple of sandwiches in your baggage
What we need is a big dance song, that's slightly European
Let's have a marketing meeting, the negotiator will be procedin'
(Negotiator)
These ain't people, they're territories, commit CD statutories
No individuals, just demographics, marketshares and tactics
We sellin' wack shit and laugh to the bank and back shit
But if you wanna be number one, you and me better start having some fun
Oh negotiator, you're the top promotional invader
Dark like Darth Vader and I'll do anything to ride your elevator
To the top, to the top, don't stop, do you know about my coochie coo
The best in the business baby, the best for you
You want it, I've got it
You need it, come get it
Marshmallow, hot candy
Oreos, uh, just got me
I'm so out of control
Oh yeah, I'm so out of control
Uh, you want it, I've got it
You need it, come get it
Marshmallow, hot candy
Oreos, uh, just got me
I'm so out of control
Oh yeah, I'm so out of control
The song "I'm So Out of Control" by Princess Superstar is a satirical commentary on the celebrity culture in the entertainment industry. The lyrics suggest that the singer, who represents the typical celebrity, is so consumed by their fame and success that they have lost control of their own life. They are obsessed with themselves and their achievements, and everything revolves around them. They express their desire to dominate the market and be the only recognized celebrity, disregarding other people's efforts and talents.
The lyrics also mention the negotiator, who represents the industry's marketing and promotional tactics. The negotiator's focus is on profit rather than on the artist's well-being or creativity. He views people as territories and demographics, with no individuality. The artist willingly follows the negotiator's lead, as they are both working towards the same end goal- being number one.
The repeated chorus "I'm so out of control" is a cry for help, an admission that the artist is aware of their situation but cannot escape it. They offer materialistic things such as marshmallows and Oreos to their fans to distract them from the real problems they are facing. The song is a commentary on the shallowness of the entertainment industry and how it can lead to a loss of identity and control.
