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.
Year Two Thousand
Princess Superstar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Women and men scream and cry through the millennium
All up in 'em comin off like
Deep impact in your drawers because
This hoochie mommy's booty
Makes Donald Trump look poor
Like Dionne Warwick
I'll predict your future trick super kicks
Buy this, 95 cents a damn minute
Admit it, when you were on monkey bars
You thought there'd be candy bars,
Marquee stars
Emblazoned up with your name in it
Maybe you need to shoot me into outer space
'cause I don't belong here
Not in this place not in this atmosphere
You can take your Palm air Range Rover
Bitch Plastic tit politics
And pay it in ducats to the Corrupt Conglomerate
Fuck it!
I Don't need to party like it's 1999
'cause by that time, the next day at 9:00
That kid'll be working for me bright and early
Waxin for me, Filin taxes for me-- suckin dick for me
What did you dream, what did you dream you'd be?
Are you where you want to be?
2G, Kick it off
I was gonna be a scientist with more dough
Marilyn Monroe to kids mansion & hi rise co condo mondo
Fresh pond in the backyard
High gates and attack guard
Now look on my card (what's it say?)
Bitch in charge of shit at my big dick day job
I got more leg than any legacy to leave
But I got my head, and peeps and me got plenty Hennessy to pee
Please call Nasa bring my ass back to your planet
See I am something I never thought, never even dreamed I'd be
Princess Superstar
And at 2G When ya gonna be what you want to be
When ya gonna be what you really want to be?
What did you dream, what did you dream you'd be?
Are you where you want to be?
2G, Kick it off
(You'll have to ask John Forte the dope shit he kicked next!)
In "Year Two Thousand," Princess Superstar reflects on the new millennium and the pressure to achieve success and wealth. She declares her intention to make a million dollars and references the hysteria and anticipation that surrounded the turn of the century, with people screaming and crying. She compares her impact to that of the comet in the movie Deep Impact, suggesting she's set to disrupt the status quo. She pokes fun at the materialism and vanity of the era, claiming her body and appearance make Donald Trump look poor and comparing herself to Dionne Warwick, the singer who became a psychic. She predicts people will listen to her music and suggests they'll pay for the privilege, even if it's 95 cents a minute.
The chorus then asks the listener if they're where they want to be and if they're living their dreams. She recounts her own ambitions, envisioning herself as a scientist with a grand mansion and swimming pool in the backyard. Now, though, she's in charge of her own career and brings a fierce attitude to her work, declaring herself the "Bitch in charge of shit at my big dick day job." She contrasts her focus and drive with the whimsical fantasies she had as a child, imagining candy bars and marquee stars with her name on them. She suggests that she may not belong in this world and considers the possibility of being shot into outer space.
