A new crop of female MCs appeared In years since she started her reign, and The Bitch Is Back was Shanté letting it be known that she still held the title of Queen MC. Produced by Kool G Rap, The Large Professor, Grand Daddy I.U., Mister Cee and Trackmasterz The Bitch Is Back was a triumphant return for Shanté.

The album's lead single "Big Mama" remains one of Hip-Hop's most fierce diss songs with Shanté doing what made her famous almost a decade prior when she created rap's first diss record "Roxanne's Revenge." On "Big Mama" she spits, "Shanté ain't about no games/Matter of fact, yo, I'm a start callin' off names/ first up there's Latifah / you roll up, and I'ma smoke that ass like reefer/cause you ain't never in life been a star to me /sold the fuck out tryin' to go R&B /now that shit is shady you say ladies first, well I'm the first lady /and all y'all hoes are phony/try to get flip and, I'm a rip you and your girl Monie."

In addition to dissing Latifah and Monie Love, she also fires shots at MC Lyte ("Shante is a rebel, you say you're Lyte As A Rock you'll get crushed like a pebble/to me a butch don't deserve a mic in hand/somebody tell her to stop actin' like a man.") Isis, Salt N' Pepa and Yo-Yo feel the wrath of the Big Mama as well.

The Trakmasterz-produced "Straight Razor" is the album's second single and it sees Shanté flowing over the uptempo track as she criticizes women who fight each other over unfaithful men. "Deadly Rhymes," "Trick or Treat" and "Yes, Yes Y'all" round out a strong return from one of the game's fiercest battle MCs.
