Has Universal Music Done The Right Thing By Signing Lil Kim?

With the phenomenal  news that she has signed to Universal Music becoming the hot topic of the day, it seems that Lil Kim‘s fans and sceptics alike are wondering exactly what this signing will mean for the next chapter of the entertainer’s career.

More specifically, what it will mean for her chances of finally becoming the crossover artist Universal may just be hoping she will turn into with their backing.

Read more below…

Though rising to mass popularity circa 2001 with her contribution to the remake of Labelle’s ‘Lady Marmalade‘ and a well documented encounter with a certain Motown Legend, Ms.Jones’ own projects failed to match the commercial successes of  fellow Femcees Lauryn Hill and Missy Elliot.

Her highest selling LP Notorious K.I.M, opened with first week sales of 232,000 units and has only gone onto sell 3 million copies worldwide despite being released ten years ago and spawning the well loved number, ‘How Many Licks’.

Whilst ‘The Miseducation‘ by Lauryn Hill went onto receive a Gold certification three weeks after its debut and went onto move seven million copies globally. Going 2x platinum in the United Kingdom, 7x platinum in Canada and 8x platinum in its own domestic market.

We here at ThatGrapeJuice HQ want to know if you think Lil Kim has enough pull to compete with today’s selection of chart hopefuls.

For despite the fact that much of her work has enjoyed critical notoriety both at home and abroad, she has never been regarded as a commercially impressive artist.

Never achieving a solo Top 5 single on the Billboard Hot 100 and never enjoying a #1 album inside or outside of the United States despite being one of the only female rappers to have at least three platinum albums.

    YES…WHAT TYPE OF QUESTIONS IS THIS?

    LET LIL KIM BE

  2. HeyNickiHeyNicki…Asthma! August 1, 2011

    Ummmm well, If she was under the likes of LA Reid I believe she could possibly rival Nicki but seeing as how he has jump ship to Epic, I don’t see it for her.

  3. Kellymotivation August 1, 2011

    Maybe if she stops rapping about how may dudes she sleeps with and what a bad-ass she is, then she could return and rap about issues of substance……she’s older and more mature and that should transcend in her music…..if not, I could care less…..she’s a “Has Been”

    However, I still think she is the illest female rapper ever…PERIOD.

  4. Huh? August 1, 2011

    Im Pretty sure That ‘The Miseducation……’ has sold well over 15 mil WW but OK…. Anyways Goodluck to Kim

  5. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 1, 2011

    Well, Lil Kim has never shifted an impressive number of copies and she’s never charted decently worldwide at all.However, she’s never flopped in the US either.She has a very specific following and all her albums are certified and I don’t think they’ll give her a really big budget anyway, so they’ll get their money.Time will tell, though

  6. Malibu Barbie August 1, 2011

    WHY DO THIS???? why start another stan war.you basically used @kellymotvation ‘s comment and used it for a post…
    U NEVER DO THIS TO ANOTHER ARTIST. why kim??? im outta here… smh.

  7. Malibu Barbie August 1, 2011

    @ASAP and ur still here talking like u know s*** about kim. LIL KIM HAS NEVER FLOPPED. shes sold MILLIONS without the help of itunes and all these internet gimmicks.. and here u are. F*** YOU

  8. KAT DELUNA FAN August 1, 2011

    @MALIBU BARBIE
    MM a KELLY STAN COMPLAINING ABOUT KIM TALKING ABOUT SEXU-AL TOPICS IN HER SONGS??

    -IRONY-

  9. TheImpermanence August 1, 2011

    this is some shady negative article.

  10. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 1, 2011

    @KELLYMOTIVATION That’s exactly why I wanted her to be independent.Maturity!!!Granted that the single is called ‘Looks Like Money’ I don’t see that maturity coming, though.She was definetely a beast though, but Foxy and Da Brat were great too when it comes to rhymes.

  11. Those That Cannot Do, Stan August 1, 2011

    Well if she flops nobody will bs hurting but Universal and her reputation so…shrugs. Yeah they made the right decision.

    I don’t see it working for her, there are too many people who were hot s*** in the 90s who ended up scrapping the bottom of the barrel in terms of success in later years. I don’t see Kim making a shocking come back especially with raps like “Download” as testimony of her 2000’s style.

  12. happy August 1, 2011

    What a stupid question and why are you comparing her to Missy who is also a singer/producer and Lauryn who was a part of a group, a singer and producer.

    Compare her to her contemporaries of that era who did what she did i.e Foxy Brown, Trina, Eve, Rah Digga, Queen Pen, Da Brat

    Who wrote this dumb album? Kim has never attempted to cross over but her 3 major cds never flopped either, they are all certified platinum or platinum plus which is rare amoung her contemporaries and for the topics she was singing about.

    Lil Kim has a legacy and a following. The label has work to do but if she spit like she did those 16 bars on Monica’s song and continue to keep her nose to the ground and work hard like she’s been doing i.e touring clubs here and abroad and building her twittr Marines who go hard for her, she’ll be ok.

    If she sells 300k first time out, that would be a good look.

  13. Jane Doe August 1, 2011

    This is a second chance for Kim. Isn’t YM distributed by Universal? I hope they don’t try to play Kim like Baby & Slim did. Good luck if this is true. Queen Bee for life.

  14. TALENT + SOUL = KING BEY & QUEEN ADELE August 1, 2011

    NO DOUBT KIM IS AN EXTRAORDINARY RAPPER AND HAS DONE ALOT, BUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAURYN AND KIM IS THAT LAURYN MADE HER MUSIC COMMERCIALLY VIABLE, AS WELL AS GIVEN THE FACT THAT SHE WAS IN ONE OF THE BEST HIP HOP AND CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED GROUPS OF ALL TIME “THE FUGEES”BEFORE SHE WENT SOLO…

    BACK IN THE DAY, KIMS IMAGE WASN’T EXACTLY SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE WAS IT? SO THIS WAS A MAJOR FACTOR FOR WHY SHE DIDN’T ACHIEVE THE CROSSOVER SUCCESS THAT OTHERS RECIEVED…….

    -ONE BOOB HANGING OUT OF CORSETS
    -SHORT SKIRTS AND TORN PANTY H***
    -NO UNDERWEAR
    -STAINED TITES AND RIPPED TOPS
    -LATEX SUITS, RUBBER CATSUITS & SKIN TIGHT JUMPSUITS
    -GHETTO HAIRSTYLES ETC…

    YEAH SURE, IT WAS ALL APART OF HER IMAGE, BUT HOW MUCH OF THE WHITE AUDIENCE WOULD’VE ACCEPTED HER IN ORDER FOR HER TOO BECOME BIG…

    I KNOW = 20%
    WHEREAS LAURYN HAD ALMOST 80-90% OF THE WHITE AUDIENCE ON LOCK!!!

  15. U wanna rumble with the bees huh??? (queenbey) August 1, 2011

    In a attempt to start another stan war, TGJ made two posts about one subject -__-

  16. carl August 1, 2011

    You can’t really compare her to Lauryn cos Lauryn wasn’t ALL the way hip-hop. She was very diverse. Female rap has never really been that much of a successful genre in comparison to male rap. Even Drake hasn’t sold that much worldwide, so what does that tell you? He had ALOT of hype when his album came out and many singles so idk. It’s down to multiple factors. If her core base supports she should be ok but she needs to bring it. Monica and Keyshia Cole don’t push millions worldwide but they do their job domestically. See what i’m saying?

  17. TALENT + SOUL = KING BEY & QUEEN ADELE August 1, 2011

    @HUH

    YEAH – “THE MISEDUCATION…….” HAS SOLD OVER 15 MLLION COPIES WORLDWIDE, HAS SOLD OVER 8 MILLION COPIES IN TOTAL SALES IN THE USA, HAS CERTIFIED SHIPMENTS OF 10X PLATINUM – THEREFORE GOING DIAMOND…

  18. JuicyBS.com August 1, 2011

    I’m not sure but I hope it works out for her…

  25. jKC August 1, 2011

    Really GJ???have they done the right thing??? what kind of post is this?? yal are so biased, taking cheap shots any chance you can. The first rule in media and journalism is to maintain and unbiased opinion. You all have been spending a lot of time lately throwing shade instead of just reporting entertainment news. TEAM KIM bout to shut it down like she has always done!

  26. THE QUEEN OF MUSIC August 1, 2011

    @Kat Deluna Fan Dont be blinded by the name kellymotivation. She is a fake ass KELLY fan. @kellymotivation Have several seats. How can u call KIM a has been……..when u are a never been! LMAO Sit down somehwere bandwagon h**! I cant wait for THE QUEEN BEE to make her Royal Return! The clone will b kissing her feet, once she sits bac on her throne.

  27. imgunnacheckuboo August 1, 2011

    I really do have a soft spot for Kim. She’s an original and an innovator.

    HOWEVER, even in her day she wasn’t as mainstream as Nicki is now. Her time has passed unfortunately.

    Rappers have short shelf lives in general and with the competition there is now, there’s pretty much no way she’ll be huge again.

    She can have a hit, sure but she ain’t going platinum or anything.

  28. TheMan4u August 1, 2011

    this entire post is wrong, you can compare Kim to Lauryn who sang on the majority of her cd, Kim is neck and neck with Missy as far as sales and NO female rappers outside of Salt n Pepa have commanded a huge following overseas, not even Nicki, so what are you saying?

    She is a good rapper, but the hate with much loved Nicki has made her look bitter and outdated, if she comes with good music, maybe. But i’m unsure.

    *presses unsure on voting poll.

  31. THATGAGA&BEYJUICE.NET (ISTANN4GAGA) August 1, 2011

    Hopefully….
    If there isn’t any intra-record label beef.

  32. Kellymotivation August 1, 2011

    @THEMAN4U

    Nicki Minaj is the only female rapper to achieve exclusive mainstream success….

    you might wanna check your records

  33. THE LEGENDARY LACEFRONCE. August 1, 2011

    F*** Lil Krim.She is a flop.Khia slays her.

  34. THE LEGENDARY LACEFRONCE. August 1, 2011

    My neck,My back>>>>Lil Krim’s career.

  35. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 1, 2011

    Alright, all those comments saying Kim wasn’t commercial.Come on guys.Yes, Kim never did pop songs like Nicki does, but her image during the Notorious K.I.M. era was as commercial as it gets.The chick was calling herself the Black Barbie and the Black Pamela Anderson.That sounds pretty commercial too me.She was trying to get herself into MTV in 2000-2001 and then in 2009 she went to ‘DWTS’.Commercial again!

  36. Romanuvegonemad August 1, 2011

    I was a big Kim fan until she was arrested and now i love Nicki but Grape Juice you guys do to much this was such a waist of whoever wrote it time. You guys go from staning for Kelly Rowland who has never had a solo #1 single or album but try and downplay all of Kim history. To say she has never reached commercial success are you serious, Kim was the most popular female rapper of the 90s. Everyone wanted her on there track, there videos, movies, tv show, magazine and etc. How many times was she on MTV? How many times did she perform at the VMA’s? I mean i get not liking her but lets atleast keep it real her accomplishments and impact on hip hop and the entertainment world can not be denied and with all the shade and post like this where so many seem to forget like the old saying goes “Thoes who forget there history are doomed to repeat it” so fuel her comeback and gag…AND I AM #TEAMNICKI but real is real

  37. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 1, 2011

    *sounds pretty commercial TO me

  38. YeaBey Is Heartless NOW DEAL! August 1, 2011

    KHIA??? LMAOOO

    EVERYBODY IS BETTER THAN KHIA……EVEN UNKNOWN RAPPERS ARE BETTER THAN KHIA…

    SHE HAS NO FAN SUPPORT AND SHE HAS LIKE 2000+ TWITTER FOLLOWERS….LMAO! NON CELEBRITIES HAVE MORE FOLLOWERS THAN THAT

    She had to make a video dissing everybody in the music industry to be relevant for 2 minutes…YES…literally two minutes…

  39. Misfit August 1, 2011

    Umm not even gonna respond to the absurd question asked of us. I can’t wait to see what Missy and Kim will do on the new project. I want to see what Kim brings, and who she works with.

    Get it Kimmy! We see you!

  40. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 1, 2011

    @KELLYMOTIVATION Nicki is the only rapper achieving mainstream success???Does the name MISSY ELLIOT ring a bell??

  45. Kellymotivation August 1, 2011

  46. YeaBey Is Heartless NOW DEAL! August 1, 2011

    Does anyone else here finds it shady how Lil Kim gave TGJ an interview and they were being so nice (and FAKE) with her but then they still come back and write dumb s*** about her? I’m not Lil Kim’s biggest fan…but Respect is RESPECT!

  47. U wanna rumble with the bees huh??? (queenbey) August 1, 2011

    Hey! You know good and well those are jokes. Don’t waste your time responding, unless it’s in laughter.

    I can hardly breath, I’m laughing so hard!!! I’m glad when people have a sense of humor. Lmao!!!

  49. Kellymotivation August 1, 2011

    @ASAP,

    Even then, Nicki’s album sales are bigger than Missy’s

    But like I said, Lil Kim and Missy are far more better than Kim……To be honest with you, Missy never really capitalized in the mainstream……….The only female who’s doing it is Nicki Minaj

  50. monica fan August 1, 2011

    SO ITS TRUE THE NOTO K.I.M IS 3 TIMES PLAT WOW

  51. Kellymotivation August 1, 2011

    Eve was never mainstream…LMAO

    Kim does have a top 5 billboard hit! Magic Stick Hellllllooooooo!!!! She also has 5 number one on the rap charts! 3 platinum albums, why does grape hate on her all the time.

  53. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 1, 2011

    @KELLYMOTIVATION Missy Elliot was more of a rapper and she only sang choruses, but she also did VERY GOOD verses and never changed the way she looks to make herself mainstream.And QUEENBEY is right about Eve too.Eve made it into mainstream without being wack.

  54. Kellymotivation August 1, 2011

    @MISFIT

    I co-sign….Lacefront is a certified joker…….his/her posts have me laughing so hard LMAO

  55. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 1, 2011

    @KELLYMOTIVATION What do you mean Eve was never mainstream???

  59. Daniel James SIlver August 1, 2011

    It’s sad that whenever Kim does something people got to hate, remember what she has done for hip-hop and who she is, she is the protege of B.I.G. and she is a living hip-hop legend.

  60. Kellymotivation August 1, 2011

    @Monica fan

    @KELLYMOTIVATION Yes, this is exactly what I’m saying.Eve had two singles that both reached No.2, she always sold worldwide (both singles AND albums) and that’s something that Lil’Kim could never achieve) and she released 10 singles, 9 of which charted.And let’s not forget, Foxy and Eve are the only female rappers who have a No.1 album.So…

    LIL KIM HAD THE GAME ON LOCK THROUGH OUT THE 90’S AND THE 2000’S. EVEN IF YOU DIDN’T OWN A LIL KIM ALBUM, YOU KNEW WHO SHE WAS! SHE HAD ENDORSEMENTS, A GRAMMY AWARD AND A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL RAP CAREER. I LIKE NICKI, BUT I DON’T SEE HER LASTING VERY LONG. WHAT WILL SHE DO AFTER THIS? THE GIMMICK CAN’T LAST FOREVER….

    @ASAP…….Eve never had a bigger career than Lil Kim…..

    If Eve had all the mainstream success, where the hell is she today…… (running after rich white men for money)

    People hardly ever mention Eve when they talk of female rappers…….Lil Kim shits on those old school female rappers…..

    Lil Kim is an icon but Eve ain’t one……..Lil Kim has inspired so many including Nicki Minja….Who has Eve inspired???

    Lil kim was the fist in the game to market herself as a female rapper who can still be feminine at the same time hardcore….

    Lil Kim is a 1000 mile >>>>>>>>>>>>>Eve…….

    @KELLYMOTIVATION What???Eve never had a big career.Lil Kim had a slightly bigger career for urban audiences but ask ANY other audience in ANY country of the world and they will know Eve (at least the name) but not every one will know Lil Kim.Eve’s most successful album worldwide charted in 12 countries (in respectable chart positions).Kim’s most successful album charted in 6 countries (in positions from 65 to 100).Kim had ‘Hardcore’ which makes her an icon, but there is no need to try to discredit Eve, because you can’t.And which white man is she after???I’ve never heard of anything like this

  109. > August 1, 2011

    well ofcorce they are going to run and sign her,it,s all about the money,she is in a beef with Nicki Minaj so she have soeme new fallowing,people who hates nicki is going to support her,and old @ss people meaning people who is stuck in the 90,s, who have a chip on there shoulder is going to support her,to prove that she still got it[old school vs new school warfare]and thats were the money come in.people who didn’t even mess with kim like that, is going to support her because they hate nicki minaj,so it,s a win win for everyone,on the other hand good for her,she is doing her.

    @ASAP,….I am originally from MOZAMBIQUE…..an African country…and I am well traveled….I will be the first to tell you that, many youngsters remember LIL KIM but not Eve….Even then, most people will tell you that Lil Kim shits on Eve…..

    And u gitta understand, Kim was the first to start charting the charts in a period when female mc’s were not taken too seriously…Kim changed all of that……If not of Kim, best believe that Eve would not have charted s***……….You cannot compare an icon to a contemporary……

    I am not trying to discredit Eve but she is no way bigger than Kim ….case closed.

    *yawns and stretches* Lil Kim is a flop. Granted I like her just a bit more than I like Nicki but that is mainly because Nicki is a low rent version of Kim anyway. The point is that she is signed to one of the worst labels ever. They aren’t even handling Kelly’s record correctly. So I don’t know what they could possibly do with a rapper who hasn’t had a “hit” or been relevant in the past 10 years…The Queen of PayPal will stay flopping as usual #NEXT

    But who knows?

  128. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 1, 2011

    @KELLYMOTIVATION I never denied Kim’s legacy and she was indeed a huge phenomenon when it comes to female rappers, she gave a new prospective.I just don’t know why you’re trying to discredit Eve.And I don’t think you did a survey to all those places that you’ve travelled, so I don’t think that’s valid.And of course Kim is the bigger icon of the two, and the one with the bigger impact, but Eve was the one with the most sales and you’re trying to make her out to be a non-factor.Well, she wasn’t.

    Some ppl try entirely too hard to fit it…..

  132. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 1, 2011

    And while not as iconic as Kim, Eve’s contribution could actually lead her all the way to iconic status.In 1999 when she came out, there was Foxy and Kim who were ALL about s** in their videos and singles (I love them both, no shade) and Missy who was more tongue and cheek and science-fiction influenced.And Eve rocked the weird haircuts and the more mainstream image too, but she wasn’t talking about d**ks.She gave a different prospective too

  133. YeaBey Is Heartless NOW DEAL! August 1, 2011

    @KELLY MOTIVATION
    I forgot but I know the person was in one of these ADELE posts…I remember that for sure!

    Kerry mentioned that he was 14? Really? He looks like 18 or something…

    Eve had bigger sales because KIM PAVED the way for her same as Nicki Minaj

    And just to correct you,……EVE IS NOT AN ICON so stop saying Lil Kim is a bigger icon to Eve because Eve is NOT an icon…..

    I never discredited Eve all I am saying is that many female rappers have been inspired by Lil Kim and have in a way, influenced their success.

    Decades from now, people shall still be talking about KIM, I doubt the same for Eve.

  136. YeaBey Is Heartless NOW DEAL! August 1, 2011

    @LACEFLOP YOU(your alter ego) don’t like Rihanna BUT however KERRY does….you are KERRY JOHNSON!!

    wow

  138. 4FlopStayInYourLaneBiotch August 1, 2011

    Anyway I don’t know why this is such a huge debate. As far as singles success and mainstream appeal goes obviously Nicki is quickly becoming the most successful female MC and just might surpass Missy if she can sustain some longevity. Kim is a has been who isn’t coming back any time soon and whether or not she manages to get a hit is irrelevant because people simply aren’t checking for Kim anymore. Nicki took her Barbie concept and mastered it and is now doing it better and on a more global scale than Kim ever did.

  139. YeaBey Is Heartless NOW DEAL! August 1, 2011

    @LACEFLOP/KERRY JOHNSON
    If you don’t like Rihanna then why do you constantly bring up her sales figures and how better she is than everyone else?

  140. Kellymotivation August 1, 2011

    @YEABEY…Kerry johnson is just as childish as JAMIR……..

    Kerry does not have solid opinions either…….he stans like a typical 14 year old without any valid proofs……all he cares about is Rihanna is the best

    Oh no, Kerry is very young……and the fact that he is always talking about s** shows how young he is…………He has reached that age where he ain’t getting any but desperately needs to get it…….Kerry Johnson is very young

    @KELLY MOTIVATION I don’t know if Lil Kim paved the way for Eve, but I explained why Eve is an icon.She had a mainstream image without talking about s**(Foxy + Kim), without releasing pop songs(Nicki) without being a weak rapper either.She was the first one to pull off this combination which could lead her to iconic status if she comes back successfuly.And I said Eve could become an icon, not that she is one already

  151. TrillaBelle August 1, 2011

    Nicki Minaj has absolutely nothing to do with this situation, yet everything affiliated with one, the other has to be mentioned. It’s sad… I’m not sure that Kim will do as well as she has in the past, as much as you want to confirm/deny her legacy in hip hop – that has nothing to do with the music industry of today or its sound. I’m sure Kim fans will support whatever career goals she plans to make happen. Will it translate to being at the top of the charts? Maybe. Not too sure. I do hope tho, as a 36 year old woman, that her style and content has evolved. Not changed, evolved. She’s an older woman now and projecting a ghetto lifestyle with supposed millions is absurd to me. I can only hope that this project she is working on is merely about re introducing herself to her fans and naysayers. Time will only tell.

  152. Girl, Bye August 1, 2011

    Those were some weak ass bars she spit in that Monica song tho. I heard it a couple of times… I just think enough is enough about talking about Biggie, sucking d***, f******, transporting work and all that. She’s in her mid 30’s, unmarried, no children and is the renowned former mistress of a married rapper. However you want to spin her legacy, facts are facts and I’ve had enough of Kim in the 90’s to not wanna hear that same s*** in 2011. I want to see her growth as an older woman, who is established and appreciates her legacy. I was too through with that unnecessary ass Black Friday bum s***. I’ve been a Kim fan for a long time, but I’m not drinking the stan koolaid enough to totally overlook, make excuses, or bypass her extensive self image issues, her insistence in beefing or proving a so called point and I just wanna hear quality music from the Queen Bee. No tea, no shade.

    ha ha ha ok this is a funny article the two rappers they mentioned missy and lauren hill are the only two female rappers to sale more than Kim if you name one other female rapper that has sold more than her thats not them two its a lie check the facts…everybody acting like Nicki sold soooo damn much trick stuck at 1.4 mil like Kim aint sold that much before…Nicki just did it quickly but the sales aint out doing nobody

  155. Fantini Blake August 1, 2011

    “Magic Stick” peaked at #2 on the Hot 100 without a video and “Lady Marmalade” was #1 for MONTHS.

    Most likely she has funded and recorded her album herself and THEN taken it to Universal to be distributed and marketed by then. So in all likelihood she’s got a big fat advance check and Universal will make big money from whatever sales she makes (and God knows she’s got a loyal following) without having had to spend anything other than that advance. Win-win situation.

  156. corrie August 1, 2011

    Its funny how ppl jus look @ what is current nicki is a gimmicks don’t care what anybosy wanna say,kim all the way first female to have number 1 on billboard 100 (lady marmalade) magic wen to no.2 first female to have platinum album,hater shut the f*** up…

  157. Malibu Barbie August 1, 2011

    @corrie that was no.1 in 50 countries, kim being the 1st female rapper to achieve that,kims also the 1st femcee to reach double platinum status.. these ignorant nicki minaj fans are sleeping on how much kimh as achieved she has kicked down SO MUCH DOORS in female rap. nicki would have been LAUGHED AT and PANNED if lil kim never happened

    I ASSUME MOST OF YOU GUYS LIVE IN THE US SO HOW CAN YOU ALL BE TALKING ABOUT WORLDWIDE SUCCESS AND APPEAL????

    I LIVE IN FRANCE AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, OVER HERE IF YOU TALKING ABOUT FEMALE RAPPERS, MISSY’s NAME COMES FIRST, THEN IT’s LIL KIM, PERIOD!!! Y’ALL CAN BE TALKING S*** ALL DAY LONG BUT MISSY AND LIL KIM ARE BASICALLY THE MOST POPULAR FEMALE RAPPERS WORLDWIDE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVEN’T DROP AN ALBUM RECENTLY; LAURYN HILL IS ALSO A WORDLWIDE ICON, BUT PEOPLE REMEMBER HER MORE FOR HER SINGING ABILITIES THAN HER RAPPING.

    EVE IS ALSO FAMOUS BUT SHE AIN’t NO KIM AND DEFINITELY AIN’T NO MISSY AS FAR AS IMPACT AND RECOGNITION ARE CONCERNED

    AND FOR THIS NICKI MINAJ CHICK, Y’ALL NEED TO STOP WITH THIS B*******: SHE AIN’T NO MC (NOT ANYMORE); IT’S LIKE COMPARING VANILLA ICE TO DR DRE, LET’S BE SERIOUS NOW. NICKI STARTED OUT AS A FEMALE MC AND SHE WAS GOOD, BUT EVER SINCE SHE SIGNED TO YOUNG MONEY, SHE TURNED INTO A POP ARTIST; YOU CALL NICKI’S SUCCESS A CROSSOVER SUCCESS??? I WOULD BE CALLING IT THAT IF SHE WAS STILL HIP HOP BUT SHE’S NOT. SHE’S POP. WHO IN THE STREETS IS BUMPING PINK FRIDAY HUH???

    MC LYTE SAID IT BEST “Those who really need to be worried by Nicki’s record is Fergie, Gwen Stefani, Nelly Furtado” SHE TOLD VH1

  163. Madonnalover August 1, 2011

    @TrillaBelle
    Honey…stop. Like I said in the madonna post, age aint nothing but a f****** number. Lil kim is 36, not 50. Even if she was 50, she could rap about whatever the hell she wanted to. Its’s sad people dictate what someone should do based off of what age they are. It’s stupid. Lil kim does not have to change her apperance, swag, or choice of topics to rap about because she’s 36. She’s still an adult and the s*** she raps about, ladies in their 30’s STILL go through. So your arguement is SO stupid. Lil kim is a hip hop ICON, she paved the way for some of these rap girls in the game, INCLUDING nicki minaj. Nicki minaj is about to be 30 and she raps about the same damn things and has the SAME f****** persona as kim and you dont say anything about that do you? So sit the f*** down. Let lil kim do what she’s been doing for so many years, let her stay true to herself and leave her be.

    P.S. the 16 bars kim did on monicas song was far from “weak” youve just been listening to nickis panic attacks on records so long, you dont know what REAL rap is supposed to sound like.

  164. MISHKA August 1, 2011

    We’re in 2011, TGJ. If you make headlines, you can sell. That’s why she got a deal. Now let’s see what she got to offer and let’s hope it has nothing to do with killing some Black Barbie.

  165. nice_gurl August 2, 2011

    I’m unsure. She does have some very loyal fans, but she needs to be able to crossover to mainstream as well. She just needs good material and promotion. If she comes out with a load of rubbish, then that will not be good for her. This is her big chance.

    Nicki was featured on a lot of singles before her own cd came out. She got over 3 miilion maybe 4 million followers on Twitter. She was the only female out last year. She sold less then Lauryn Hill who had competition at the time. Her cd is pop. She got 6 singles & videos out. & she only sold 1.4 million.

    Nobody see this is a problem with her effort. All that money they put behind her first effort. I don’t think they see the results they was hoping for. The only female out, sold less then somebody whom had competition, 6 singles, her cd is pop. & she only sold 1.4 million copies.

  169. ImMadAsHell August 2, 2011

    My nephew told me that his friends warn him not to by Nicki cd after it came out. And the ones who brought her cd, went back to the store to switch it for one of Kim cds.

    My nephew and niece last year was Nicki this and Nicki that. My niece hasn’t talk about Nicki this year. & my nephew told me that Nicki is corny. I wondfer what going to happen for 30 year old Nicki 2nd effort.

    I don’t know what Kim going to do with her 5th cd but I’ll support her. I’m hoping if she doesn’t sell that much out the gate. Her cd be that good that my nephew friends will tell him to get Kim cd, because it’s that good.

  170. LettingTheseBitchesKnow August 2, 2011

    Let Kim Prove That She Can Continue To Make Hits Or Flop !!! Like Its So MANY Haters On Kim’s C*** SHEESHH ! & Seriously Lauyrn Needs To Get Back In The Game Too ! Btw Why Compare Them They Are So DIFFERENT !!!???

  171. TEAM TALENT August 2, 2011

    well…kims last mixtape was AWFUL, black friday focused purely on nicki minaj and p**** and less on life, lessons and story. considering she’s been absent from the commercial scene for a good decade, it will be hard for her tp come back, however, a decade is a long time so she could have alot of new experiences and factors to inpire or influence new music. but if she wants to get back, she needs to cut out the hatred and get business savvy…

  172. MrSoulshock44 August 2, 2011

    @Team Talent: IT TOOK ME JUST A SECOND TO REALIZE THAT YOU ACTUALLY DID NOT LISTEN TO BLACK FRIDAY EVEN THOUGH YOU ACT LIKE YOU DID. THE REASON IS SIMPLE “black friday focused purely on nicki minaj and p**** ” OUT OF 18 SONGS, 3 WERE ABOUT NICKI AND 2 WERE ABOUT P****, THAT MAKE 13 SONGS WHICH HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR STATEMENT #SITDOWN

    SECONDLY I WANT Y’ALL STANS TO TELL ME WHY NICKI CAN GET AWAY WITH MAKING A CAREER OUT OF DISSING KIM AND JACKING HER STYLE BUT WHEN KIM OPENS HER MOUTH “SHE NEEDS TO GROW UP, SHE NEEDS TO STOP HATING ETC…”? WHY????

    NICKI MADE LIKE 10 TRACKS DISSING KIM IN 2010 ALONE. SHE DISSED KIM IN BASICALLY EVERY FEATURE SHE DID LAST YEAR. AND I AIN’T EVEN TALKING ABOUT ALL THE S*** SHE WAS TALKING ON HER MIXTAPES BEFORE YOUNG MONEY OR THE 3 RECENT DISSES SHE DID IN 2011, BUT I DIDN’T SEE NONE OF YOU H*** SAY S*** ABOUT THAT

    YOU B****** GOT SOME NERVE -SMH-

    Black Friday wasn’t about Nicki. I cam name several features that Nicki waso n dissing Kim then she came out with her cd still dissing Kim. Then add Keyshia Cole, Britney Spears, & Mary song still dissing Kim.

    Black Friday got 20 songs on there, three or maybe four songs are about Nicki

    Black Friday were better then anything on Pink Friday. I know people who said so.

    @MrSoulshock44

    I didn’t even know the feature Nick did on Kayne Monster was a diss to Kim. But then again I only listen to it one time & I was already tired of Nicki.

    Wow you people at the grapejuice really hate Lil’ Kim and try to hide it with some back handed compliments so blatantly laced with hate. Lil’ Kim has sold over 20 million records has had the biggest influence on female rappers since 96 and her legacy in Hip hop is only matched by the Kings of the game… FACT. Kim is an Icon recognised world wide from fashion to music, because why she is original brought the Diva the glits and glam and updated the female Mc’s from chains and baggy jeans, there wouldn’t be any of the stuff you see now if it wasn’t for Kim.

    I hate this blog just because you’re so hell bent on downgrading Kim to being less than the other chicks in hip hop who all look up to her are all inspired from her and influenced in their careers by her originality. F*** this last time I check on you’re hating website.

  176. iLoveNICKI&KIMBut……… August 2, 2011

    WTF This Website Always Talking Down About Kim Like Nicki Been Dissing Kim From The Come Up Days & Even When She Made It Big On Her Features #KeepingIt100% Nicki Is Cute And Really Catchy & Thats Why She Is So Big But Lets Make This Clear Nicki Is Only Big Because Of The LACK Of Competition Like…….Kim Had Missy, Foxy, Remy, Lauryn & Etc. Anyways Kim Need Some Hot Beats, Good Lyrics & Not Be A Sell Out Like Nicki Sad 2 Say & Do Pop & Other Genres But Keep It True To Hip Hop ! & Having Kim Around Will Help Embrace Other Females In The Game So Nicki Can Have Competition Step Her Cookies Up & Make Better Music For US The Consumers !

  180. Corey Andrew August 3, 2011

    Well considering that Kim has NEVER relied on commercial radio to become famous, her record sales are very impressive. I do agree though that she’s going to need to broaden her lyrics to address more than just how good her p*ssy is.

    We’re grown-ups now Kim, let’s step it up a notch.

  181. MrSoulshock44 August 3, 2011

    @LA’TONYA: SHUT THE F*** UP B****! YOU DON’T KNOW S***. NICKI’s BEEN DISSING KIM SINCE 2003 B****, AND SHE WAS STILL DISSING ALL THE WAY ON HER MIXTAPES UNTIL SHE SIGNED WITH YOUNG MONEY. AND THAT’S WAS BEFORE KIM KNEW THE B**** EVEN EXIST. AND WHEN SHE SIGNED WITH YM, THE H** KEPT ON DISSING KIM ON HER FEATURES, WHEN SHE DROPPED HER WACK ASS ALBUM SHE WAS STILL DISSING KIM ON IT. SO WHAT ABOUT YOU GO AND LAY YOUR ASS DOWN SOMEWHERE B****.

    PLUS YOU SAY NICKI WOULD KILL KIM??? LMFAOOOOO LEMME GUESS, YOU ARE 12 RIGHT??? B**** NICKI’s NURSERY RHYME ASS COULDN’T EVEN KILL WILLOW SMITH

    @LA’TONYA: You just became Nicki d**** rider. Nicki was popping s*** before Kim ever responded to Nicki in front of the cameras. You should hear Nicki Hoodstar back in 2003, she said she was coming for Kim. On the features Nicki was on, she still was coming for Kim. On her own cd she came for Kim. On Keyshia Cole, Britney Spears, & Mary these songs are just recently she coming for Kim.

    You talking about Nicki killing Kim, is that’s why people ask her is certain song about KIm. She’ll say no because Nicki knows she can’t handle street Kim.

  183. iLoveNicki&KimBut…………….. August 3, 2011

    @MadonnaLover – Babygirl, stop it. What I said had nothing to do with what you’re talking about. I’m probably older than you boo and woman to woman, if you’re still talking about and doing the same s*** that you did over 15 years ago, then you got WAYYYYY bigger problems. This isn’t about what legacy she paved or me denying her legacy, it’s about FACTS. It’s about fans like MYSELF who want to see what’s she been through, how she’s evolved, nothing more. So.. with that being said, get out your raggedy ass feelings and have two seats. I’m fresh out of f**** to give about her beef with Nicki Minaj anyway – again as a WOMAN, I’m not arguing with no baby about who did what better, who stole what, and all that extra irrelevant s***. My fans and “real” music lovers will show who is better. I’m from the hood but I’m also GROWN. F*** outta here. She’s a millionaire, she might visit the hood but she don’t be in the hood. And I’m sure she don’t wanna go back to the clink so she’s not calling the goons on NOBODY. So, let’s shut that down. ROFLMAO.. And while we’re talking about facts, what real publicity or love is Kim getting these days? Blogs and I mean BLOGS (plural so you understand the emphasis)) make fun of Lil Kim. I’ve seen trending topics devoted to bashing Kim, and while we’re on the subject, what MAJOR publications has promoted, reviewed and came back with something positive to say about the mixtape, its content or HER in general? Stop acting like this doesn’t happen. I’m all for supporting your favorite but don’t be oblivious to what the f*** is actually going on. I love MUSIC. I could give a good goddamn about personal grievances and all that extra s***. Get your money, make your music, THE END. F*** outta here with your cheerleading delusional ass.

  186. TrillaBelle August 3, 2011

    And PLEASE don’t say that weak ass interview on RapFix cause Ch…….. And like I said, I’m a Lil Kim fan, don’t get it twisted but I’m not oblivious.. I don’t drink the stan koolaid. I wish her nothing but the best, but she has some work to do, PERIOD.

  187. ImMadAsHell August 3, 2011

    @TrillaBelle
    I heard those songs where she was going at Kim. You must didn’t look into Nicki mistape days. It started from there & didn’t end. Nicki is not lyrical at all. One real storytellers come back, it’s the end for Nicki career, she better wait for another females rapper drought to come back out. Then she’ll be an old ass has been, still rapping like she touch in the head, rapping about kiddie stuff.

  188. Josh K August 5, 2011

    It’s obvious that the Grape juice doesn’t like Lil Kim for what ever reason they acting like 3 million copies sold world wide isn’t impressive for not just a female rapper a rapper period and let’s not forget her Debut album Hardcore sold 3 mill world wide also

  189. valentino August 5, 2011

    im soooooo glad she signed wit them,now we get back to some real rap not thios bubblegum rap that’s out there,[do i got to mention her/his name] lilkim is the queen of hiphop and nobody is gone to take that away from her,i love u kim till the end.The album and single will be straight fire!!! teamlilkim everyday!!!!!!!!!
