If the success of her ‘Return Of The Queen’ Tour is anything to go by, Lil Kim‘s brand isn’t as depleted as many would like to believe.
For, by way of classics spawned in her prime, the Rap icon has amassed a fan base more eager than ever to hear new music from the star.
So, being just as eager to deliver the goods, Kim has now confirmed her long awaited come back during an appearance at New York Fashion Week.
Good news below…
Sweet.
Though it’s all too easy to write Kim off as a ‘dated act’, there is no reason she can’t make a successful chart return if she makes a few minor changes to her current set up.
Changes, that would see her enlist a team of writers to help craft cuts akin to ‘She Will’ and a professional creative team to polish her current aesthetic.
For as it stands, it’s unrealistic for fans to accept Drake numbers when it comes to pushing LPs.
However, if Kim can find a way to market herself as a Premium Femcee, boasting music pulled from her layered past, consistently impressive visuals, and inked a independent deal to ensure the media push she deserves, an epic come back wouldn’t seem all that unlikely.
In short, the ‘Queen Bee’ is only the right ghostwriter, record deal and stylist away from reclaiming her throne as one of Rap’s front runners.
Let’s just hope her fans will be there to support with their money if that time ever comes.

You have the nerve to diss one of the greatest rappers alive, who’s debut album was critically acclaimed and sold millions, in a era when Hip HOP was not as big as it is now. She was doing millions back in 96. Leave kim alne. Tell us Why Rita Ora’s LP which has yet to go gold in the UK, has been pushed back to christmas in America – pushed back 3 months.
You want to keep comparing RIH AT 17 to ORA AT 21? MOTS did not get pushed back in any market. Speak on that?

I was a fan of Kim, but I’m gonna be honest, the people who are making these artists relevant are 13-20 something year olds and I don’t see Kim appealing to most. Her old fans who grow up listening to her will purchase but this new generation probably won’t. Plus Kim is awful with communication and seems to have a hard time understanding that if your an artist ESPECIALLY an indie artist and don’t communicate well through twitter or various other outlets with fans, your music will be slept on. I’m sorry I’m just over Kim, I don’t care if she releases anything or not anymore. Being a fan of hers was exhausting. You fight for her, she gives you a little something then disappears without a WORD to her fans and then allow her bf to come for us when we call out her bullish*t and lies? I don’t think so. The 90′s are over. Kim, if this isn’t a greatest hits album following your retirement, then no.

Only flops or up and coming artists affiliate with them, to them ANY exposure is good. Oh and reality star drag queens (Shangela, Tamar etc.).

Lil’Kim ain’t droppin shit soon. and if she does it won’t be hard core rap which is what she’s known for, it’ll be POP music cus she’s following the leader Nicki Minaj… Watch Kim go POP if she ever drops anything. Theres gonna be some disappointed Kim fans. Kim is trying to lose her soft porn image but thats the Lil’Kim her fans are rooting for. That Lil’Kim died with Biggie so her career been dead.

I love Kim but she’s been saying she’s coming out with new music for the longest and we barely get anything. It’s like she starts releasing some new material then disappears. She still has a chance at coming back into the spotlight, but she also needs to understand that things have changed. Hopefully, if she ever releases new music and an album she can adapt in Today’s industry well.

I would hire the best writers, throw in a few tracks written by herself, make the production tight and do the damn thing. Kim lights up on stage. Put the new music with the old and she can get some serious paper.
