Lil'kim Change the entire world of music when she game out in 96 with her first album. The reason why was that at the time there were rappers who talk about women badly. The women rappers defend themselves great like MC lyte and Queen Latifah. But did not dress like women but in a tom boy way. Lil'kim was not like that at all which surprise a lot of people as well as rappers who didn't think of it first. Lil'Kim doesn't just rap about the street (which she does great)she raps about sex and just how the male rappers treat the women lil'kim does the opposite. Lots of people (women) hate this very talented rapper but thats just because there jealous that there not her. Lil'kim's Hardcore album is great it has great beats as well as very unique and very fresh lyrics. You'll love the songs Drugs and the best hit no time. Buy this album now even if you think it's whack (cause it's not)and I promise you won't regret it.
