Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Reviews
Princess Superstar Is... is the lyrical queen's second major release and features guest spots from an all-star cast including High & Mighty, Kool Keith, Mr Len, Herbaliser, Sinista, J Zone and even Beth Orton. If you haven't yet checked the supreme talents of Princess Superstar then this is one hip-hop extravaganza you truly won't want to miss. Not only does this female rap phenomenon spit rhymes that are incisive and ultra-dope, but she's capable of being very funny too. Oh, and she produces her own tunes and plays some of her own instruments. The focus of this second joint is once again to provide some far-reaching and highly entertaining hip-hop business, combining some envelope-pushing production values with head-nod bounce and--of course--raw verbal prowess. If amusing stories, tales of bravado, the odd serious issue and lashings of sex and humour are your idea of a good hip-hop album (and they should be), then look no further. --Paul Sullivan

CD Description
Princess Superstar represents the rise of a rap archetype so obvious in retrospect that it's hard to believe the role was never played before. There have been plenty of nice Jewish boys taking up the rap mantle over the years, from the Beastie Boys to Blood of Abraham and the more parodic M.O.T., and there have been a precious few white female rappers (mostnotably Peaches), but it took the arrival of Princess Superstar for the Jewish princess to fully enter the rap fray.
Princess Superstar brings to her rhymes a swaggering sense of entitlement that extends to sex, finance, the music business, interpersonal relationships, and more. The pure bravadoshe displays instantly qualifies her entry into the hip-hopgame. In carnal terms, she's as nasty as any of the boys has ever been (Kool Keith also turns up as a willing participant in her bedroom games). Verbally, she can sling it with the best of them, delivering breakneck rhymes whose adroit witfinds her name-checking everyone from Kid 'n' Play to Mantronix and Daft Punk. All this verbal action takes place atop appropriately luxurious beats and production that gives equal time to the dancefloor and the lounge.

4.0 out of 5 stars I was pleasantly surprised!, 16 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Why? Because I'm a nasty cynic who doesn't always believe the hype. But "Princess Superstar Is" blew me out of my chair, chuckling and bouncing I was. Unlike the half-cooked female rappers that she resents being compared to, Princess Superstar ain't no sassy fool on a noodle designertrip. She's the Black Shirley Temple whose been around for a long time, cept she's white. HOLD ON, IT'S A LYRIC. Princess has assembled a wicked cast and frankly this album is on point. Hardcore funk with some bad lyrical licks. One of the most original albums of the year no doubt. If you like your Kool Keith, Quasimoto, Company Flow, Tribe--you know grimy but fat, CHECK THIS OUT.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is fine, filthy and very funny, 11 Feb 2002
By A Customer
One of those days, I guess... Browsing for music in the last record shop in my town not to sell coffee, I picked this up on the offchance. And now I can't get enough of it. Disappointing that the only track to get airplay in the UK is 'Bad Babysitter' which is one of the less successful ones on the album: the 'Untouchable' tunes (Parts 1 and 2) are both excellent, and I have a soft spot for any CD which is willing to make fun of itself so completely. Lines like 'You're idle - I'm an idol. You're not entitled - I've got a title.' are delivered with the tongue so firmly in cheek that I'm surprised she can pronounce them at all. One of the five CDs I allowed myself to take back to Russia with me - can't face the winter without it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful! Someone Save Me!, 5 Feb 2002
This is an awful album with bog-standard production and corny clichéd lyrics. Princess Superstar is simply a popstar whose gimmick happens to be rapping. And that's all it is a gimmick, there's absoltely no talent to her rapping and this is just fodder for those who criticise "middle-class eminem-loving white kids" for thinking they're into rap.
"Bad Babysiter" is the perfect example, with its shoddy beat and dodgy lyrics. The video for it is as nasty as the song but the worst thing of all is hearing Princess Superstar trying to put hint of attitude into her voice. It ends up sounding like a D-list actor's attempt at sounding from "New Yoik". This is truly one to be avoided.
