Trina probably wasn’t the first person people thought of when it comes to a Tiny Desk Concert (that in itself is a problem), but she delivered anyway. The Miami rapper kicked a medley of her hits over funky instrumentation and her performance has been getting praise ever since.

Things started on a somber note with Trina performing “Mama,” which is a dedication to her mother who unfortunately passed away from cancer in 2019. From there, the vibes picked up as Da Baddest B*tch performed her hits like “Da Baddes B*tch,” her smash collab with Trick Daddy “Nann N*gga” and “Single Again,” among more.

Some of y’all questioning why Trina is doing a Tiny Desk & I wanna know why she ain’t BEEN had one. That is a MOTHER. SEVERAL of the current stars are her DAUGHTERS. NIECES. NEPHEWS! You do not discuss Southern Rap without mentioning The Baddest, regardless of gender! Try again! https://t.co/fPNUXJopRM

This version of Trina’s music actually helps you sonically hear the through line between blaxploitation and funk culture and 90s/00s rap music. It’s funky and bold. Betty Davis to Trina. It’s connected visually and musically. https://t.co/Bd9E7CGtEe

This is a shot at Trina. If you watched her performance and how masterfully she executed her set….the breath control, pacing, musicianship and came away with this
Well you clearly don’t appreciate the artistry or it’s mysogynoir or it’s respectability. https://t.co/j8IYAewFrB

Hey, as the producer of today’s Tiny Desk, nobody ever asked or told Trina to perform the ‘clean version’ of her songs. Any edits to her lyrics during this show were her choice. Nasty as *she* wanted to be.
You could always choose to just not watch it.— Virgo Grooving @ .75 SPEED (@Sid_Madden) April 7, 2023
