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.
Trouble
Princess Superstar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm obsessed with movies, like Barbed Wire throw a stiletto in ya eye
I confess I'm like Jesse James in an Ames parking lot
Have humorous fun pullin' numerous guns on consumers (Run!)
Your man-freaked that, I told John- Get Back
Broke your 8Track A-Dats stole your Kit Kats
Grab your fanny pack and gagged you with a six pack a six White Castle sack
Drip wax in your office fax changed a few facts in your contract
I'm on the dole with mad loot sellin' bootlegs of poor artists
Got two legs to work but I beg for change to drink Bacardis
Hearty meals got these Hardy Boys hard then taught Nancy Drew and her dog
How to jerk off and how to steal from drug dealers
Ah enough of this I killed Snuffalufagus
With pills and made a snuff film
To prove to Big Bird he exists (See he is real!)
I'm ill can't deal with mere mortals
Got a portal in my knee to beam me
To a balance beam but I just drank 3 Jim Beams
My Olympic team is gonna scream at me, is it my turn? I gotta pee
I'm fourteen but haven't grown since I was three
Get my kicks feedin' drinks to kids in rehab clinks
Minx took Pink to my sink and used her hair die to die my minks
Tattoo inks with Ajax I highjacked Pat Sajak
Sent him back to Wheel of Fortune with a bad limp and a crack habit
Silly rabbit this song is for kids, the way the messed up system is
If I was a black man I'd be up on a eight year bid
Id ego you know I wish I owned those
But I sold em to buy nice speakers
(What kind?) Bose
[Chorus]
Trouble
We like it like that
Trouble capital T stands for me
Punchin' ya tummy cover you with honey and ants
Fatal Attraction boil a bunny while I breakdance
Fart in my hot pants in a crowded theatre at Sundance
(must have been the hot ranch)
So let's dance because I killed Bowie's wife with a bowie knife
C'mon mon it was Iman and man Bowie's my man gimme one more night
I just upchucked my pills and Tom Collins
On Phil Collins, I mean Phil it was just a spill-chill
Bad upbringing I made Jerry's kids phone stop ringing
I'm only kiddin' with this sick singing
I'm just givin' what this track's bringin'
Trouble I'm not subtle I need more air
So I popped that kid and stole his bubble
Stuck him in some double Tupperware
A clean death inject ya with Crest and crystal meth
Obsessed with my own breasts
Won't look at you so don't get undressed for sex
I guess I'm on a rampage for underage idols
Did Malcolm's bro in the middle and little Kenny with subtitles
I strike quick like the emperor not the right temperature and
I think it's too easy to make fun of 98 Degrees
And now that you mention it Britney, Christina, and N'Sync
Why even bother, we'll all be gone by next week
[Chorus]
