Review - :
{$Trina}'s righteous raunchiness is more than a little exhausted on {^Glamorest Life}, the Miami MC's third album. She seems to know it too, sounding distanced and not nearly as energized as she was on 2002's {^Diamond Princess}. That puts more weight on the productions and guest verses. Despite contributions from names like {$Mannie Fresh}, {$Jazze Pha}, {$Needlz}, and rising duo {$Cool & Dre}, the productions are routinely just as lacking. Take {$Mannie}'s {&"Da Club,"} in which he more or less jacks the misty-eyed backing for {$Faith Evans}' {&"Hope."} {$Mannie} also pitches in with a wistful reminiscence about a stripper, while {$Trina} helps relate the tale and remains, as always, the one calling the shots: "He wanna cram it and jam it/Put the pickle in the middle, motherf*cker, not fanny." Ironically, one of the better tracks -- roughly the umpteenth track to interpolate {$Force M.D.'s}' {&"Tender Love"} -- takes on a sullen tone, even though {$Trina}'s more defiant here than at any other point in the album: "I shed so many tears, can't believe how many years the baddest bitch put up with your dusty ass." {$Lil Wayne}, {$Lil Scrappy}, {$Snoop Dogg}, and {$Trey Songz} provide vocal support, but very little of it raises the material's quality level. [A clean version of the album was also released.] ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
