im sayin tho lil kim is the shh but did she really think that she would be the ONLY female to spit nice?? why cant other ppl shine too smh
I agree Natalie
This doesnt impress anyone. Words, just hot breath words. Where are the records?
Its not the fact that people shinin or not… lil kim is just mad cause the nicki spittin fire in ha face after she stole kims whole image,, No doubt nicki got the punchlines but kim is a legend,, & she asked ha to pay homage & she ain’t say nothin about nickis disses in previous songs “oh but DID I KILL THE QUEEN the alexander mcqueen”(dirty money- hello goodmorning). Nicki is justg straight destroyin kim outta disrepect,, kim finally had enough of the bullshit & finally started spittin back, after nickis whole career since ha mixtapes nickis been spittin fire @ kims neck,, But now its just due time until kim comes back….
Lil Kim performed in Nicki Minaj’s hometown of queens last night. Kim obviously angered by the COPY CAT AKA Nicki Mianj record “Roman’s Revenge,†(which Nicki stated isn’t dissing Kim) , had a few choice words for the copycat “I will erase this bitch’s social security number, first of all I don’t even need a record right now and I’d kill that b!tch with my old shit.†Lil Kim went on to say, “My records ain’t just enter the charts, they made history. WTF is this bullshit, this shit come and go.†TEAMLILKIM ALL DAY BABY THE BEST OF ALL TIME LIL KIM AKA QUEEN BEE FOR LIFE
THE THE REAL QUEEN OF RAP Lil Kim Responds To THIS COPY CAT ASS BITCH AKA Nicki Minaj On Stage In Queens
Has anybody noticed how keep has never went at other female rappers coming up in her career she was out before foxy who went at Kim I neva heard Kim go at any female emcees before her to get on I respect Kim how she rock.. art imitates life and what’s happening is showing the disrespect for culture that these younger generation peeps is doing they have no principles Nicki gettin shine & money she should take on the females who are comin at her just like KIm did there are a couple underground females at Nicki head that’s what would make her the new Queen not going at Kim it’s dumb it just shows a difference in how moves are made it’s obvious females get not much shine but 1 or two in hiphop there is no real investment in their talent just sexual if they can make it that way so you don’t see posse cuts with female emcees like those of prior times which some had lil kim in them smh times and changes but no progress.
If Kim wanted too she could put a female emcee on that just needs the bread to get at Nicki that would be interesting Kim a boss I think she should flex some muscle and let someone of similar Kim rhyme bravado Buss at Nicki on a bigger platform where the money @ lol or put out a posse cut like pac did hit em up and let the young riders get at her do people know how to play the game for real smh.
Love Kim. Nicki is going to have to stop with these indirect ans subliminal shots she been bussin at female rappers since day1. A student should never disrespect his/her teacher.
This is why I only respect Old School Artist. They are fearless. Kim Jay Foxy Nas Etc will attack whomever whenever however & not think twice. MC Hammer knows he doesn’t have a chance against Jay However he refuses to be quiet.
This new wave always has excuses. They drop subliminal diss at artist ( Listen 2 Nicki mix tapes) she was dropping shots at Foxy Kim & Remy but never addressed them head on. Then she plays the victim… They run around screaming Beef is wack! Beef is Hip Hop. Stop making excuses for your lack of talent & street credit. Its not Hip Hop fought that you can battle
It’s funny people think it is cool for Nicki to go at Kim but Kim can’t respond please TeamKimAllday
she can’t make a diss because she can’t come for nicki. nicki’s better than her! at the end of the day Lil Kim started all this “beef” with Nicki. & nicki ended it! Lil kim should just sit back & let Nicki Do Her. It’s Nicki’s Time. #TeamMinaj
