Can you believe it’s been two years since Lil Kim released ‘Black Friday’? And yet 24 months after the mixtape topped the Paypal 100, there’s been no follow-up album nor any news about one.
Still, as keen appreciators of Kim’s legacy, any sighting of the Queen Bee brings a smile to our face. Case, point, this shot of the femcee on the set of Tiffany Foxx‘s video for buzz single ‘Jay Z’ – which also features the pint-sized icon.
As reported last Fall, Foxx has been anointed as Kim’s protegé, something we’re entirely in support of. Not so much because the New Yorker is the second coming. Rather, it’s due to Kim being better suited to a nurturing role at this stage of her career.
Like Ashanti, she’s made no secret of her disdain for the supposedly “insulting deals” labels are putting on the table to veterans such as herself (see: 360). And with each year reducing the chance of a better deal being cooked up, also dissolved are our hopes of Kim releasing a 00’s album as epic as ‘The Naked Truth’. Or an album of any sort. Such a project requires two components: artistic confidence and a mini-machine to mobilize its cause. Sadly, these are things Kim clearly doesn’t have in her arsenal anymore.
And while that would have made us sad several years ago, it’s a reality we’re surprisingly comfortable with today. Much like a boxer, artists like Kim have their prime and their shine for a period in time. Jury’s out on whether Kim’s run has ended. However, one thing both she and her fans should celebrate is that her legacy is ever-lasting.
Anyway, enough of the rambling…

The haters coming in 1 2 3 ……….
Not hating…. Just complementing on looking like Michael Jackson.
huh??
oh she’s still trying? aww
Nicki pay this b**** to disappear & save herself the embarrassment
OMG!! Have you read blogs and comments on the AI HATE for Nicki! You barbz better stop worrying about Kim and what she doing and try to save your fav. American Idol will be the death of Nicki’s popularity.
From what I hear, she’s the only reason why people are still watching that show.
Be quiet.
does anyone even cares?? and don’t say i am cause i commented on the post..but i really want to know if anyone ACTUALLY cares lol
i caaaaaare “beyonce voice”
Obviously you do, since you commented on this post. 😉
(Don’t think you were able to slide out from under that…)
did you even read my comment r*****…”and don’t say i am cause i commented on the post but i really want to know if anyone ACTUALLY cares” <=—-i guess you miss this part. *roll eyes*
She looks really good here o_O wow. Anyways, great for Kim.
Hi MC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello 🙂
HEY F***^^^^
*Ignores “Beyhive AntiChrist”*
I haven’t sen you in forever, I got a new haircut and my basketball team continued their losing streak religously. What the phuck is up I haven’t socialized with you in like, a year!
So you cut your hair? Gave up on the twists or dreadlocks, huh? Of course your team every game, you ARE in the team after all 😆 JK. I know I haven’t seen you in a while! I’m fine, how about you?
Im great and I only shaved the sides my head, its quite peculiar tbh. How’s your debate team going? Because I hope for your sake they can have the topic one day about Mariah ThatShitCarey vs. Nutty Garbaj than you mgiht have a chance at beating the other teams. Happy early MLK day.
LMAO Nicki is just letting all these basic rap b****** think they still have a chance in the rap game, once she returns, every single basic rap b**** is going to have to take a seat on this has-been bench (and that includes you Kim) —->> /——\
Nicki’s album flopped and her next album will sell less. Nicki aint scaring nobody.
lol yet my album sold more than any rap album in 2012
@layla u dont even believe that, d***
#6 artist of 2012.. can u count !?
FLOPS dont get certified platinum, DEEERY!
Enough w/ your delusons _/ sit !
This d*** looks good for once !
it did not flop BUT it did under perform. she clearly lost fans, her remix album, which had 8 new songs did not do well either.
It was not a Remix album @AmbeRussell it was a mixtape but it was more strategic to have it as a re-release bc it would add to sales of PFRR
it was only released to 2 retailers initially and still broke top 50 on bb200, was #1 on itunes and has sold over 100k
Well it’s nice to her face is still hanging on…
I’m so glad my homeboy Devan is doin her makeup now… I’m a huge NickiMinaj fan..but I’m actually glad she is finally giving her fans something.. I just hope it was worth their wait. Nicki on break from the rap game becuz of idol..so these chicks better
take advantage
Devan is doing her right! He knows how to work that make-up brush!
Ready for some real female hip hop.
Some real HOOD s*** right here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNM5HW13_O8&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Real ghetto s*** w/ no budget
the QUEEN dont make music for u hood boogers
its about MONEY and EXPANSION !
I FEEL LIKE HER COMEBACK TRAIL WILL FINALLY HAPPEN THIS YEAR!! B**** NEEDS TO DROP LOOKS LIKE MONEY NOW THO….CUT THE S*** KIM
Oh, I see you got a Cassie-esque cut, great for you. I stopped debate last year (where have you been?) I started a relief program with my friend called (Direct Relief International) and we’re going to do our first fundraiser this Thursday (so excited).
oops meant for @Benron
No I shaved both sides. I was waiting ofr you reply forever lol i dint see this. I just had a gym night last night for my washington DC trip, we sold food had games and made 450$ dollars, we only need about 3000 more but in 3 months (eek)
I hope your fundraiser goes super well what are you doing/selling?’
And I know you told be the Debate story but I was kidding.
Oh cool! You’re coming to DC maybe I might see you and finally have you kidnapped.
I’m selling “Paint Sample” handmade boxes filled with chocolate and candy.
Sorry, I thought you forgot about the debate story….lol
Im there April 7th to 12th kidnap me then!
Who’s the white woman with the cat-like eyes?
Beyonce and gentleman gag!

MAMA YOU WERE DONE BACK IN 2002.
GIVE IT UP
No, I will give her 2006
Jumpoff was ’03.. she still was the s*** back then
That lace front though….
?? Huh??
(lookin @ her avatar confused by her even DARING chile)
I know this b**** still have a little money in that account. She can’t affrord a better lace front? Nicki former stylist s looking for a job, i’m pretty sure if she get her coins up she can afford him. That wig look like a hot ass mess boo…
Girl, u should NEVER comment on someone wig
LOOOOOOOOL!! DEAD!
Who even cares anymore chile. Ive had ENUF of her childs ‘come back’ lies to last me3 liflifetimes honey. But she STILL waaaaaay better than icki also kim can goto hell.
This is not a kim song ! Glad she did something w/ that makeup, though ! She looks brownskinned like she should ! Let that yellow makeup die !
b**** you need to sit!!! with icki looking like a young joan rivers
And Kim is looking like Lucy Lui! Whats really good? lmfao
And why can’t she always dress like this ? she looks like she lost weight & the wig looks expensive & is cut correctly ! Chile ! She looks like she did during La Bella Mafia.. KUDOS B**** !
The same reason why icki and her lacefronts be holding on for dear life and her powerpuff girl clothes wearing ass be looking a hot mess
Hey truth, F***
@psa thats not me. Kim IS a disappoinfment to me so i wouldnt defend her lyn ass…BUT she STILL better than ur fav
honey. #POW
LOL at someone saying she looks good.
Let not talk about whos wig f*** up s*** yall didn’t see on American Idol how Ficki Nishit wig was pull back either Wendy Williams got on her wig lol B****** STOP HATING ON THE QUEEN
who is wendy williams,that giant feefi fofum looking b-tch she can f-ck off with her bigfoot self.
MAN F*** U AND FICKI MISHIT
As we’ve all learned from years of notorious lies and fallacies from Kim, you have to SEE it to believe it. I’d be shocked if she still even has a fan base checking for new music from her with her continuous lies, constantly cutting off communication with her fans, and allowing a run down past boyfriend to diss her own fan-base. I know as for me, I jumped shipped over a year ago and don’t ever plan on returning….
Me too chile…if this b**** think someone is impressed with what she doin she’s livn in a bubble. Go AND her lies and team can gota hell chile
I meant ‘her’ AND her lies…
then yall was never true fan from the get go
LIL KIM BABY JUST FOCUS ON YOUR VODKA BRANDS AND YOUR MAKEUP LINES OK
I FEEL LIKE PRAYING TO BEYSUS….
DEAR WONDERFUL LORD BEYSUS ITS BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE LAST SEEN EACH OTHER THE BEEHIVE MISSES YOU SO MUCH PLEASE SAVE US FROM THESE LOW BUDGET B****** LIKE KE$HA RIHANNA KIM NICKI ETC… I CAN’T DEAL WITH THEIR FUCKERY ANYMORE IM READY FOR YOU & LADY GODGA TO SLAY MY SOUL… IM SO EXCITED ABOUT YOUR ARRIVAL BEYSUS I CAN’T SLEEP IM SO FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT.. PLEASE HEAR MY CRYS LORD I NEED & WANT YOU 🙁
-AMEN
DEAD @ u naming Kim like she was snatching wigs this yr… 🙂
On…the…FUCKN FLOOR LMAO chile!!! I JUST LOOOOOOOVE U!!! (kneel and prays with u @ the alter ive built for our GODDESS and burn incents and releases doves)
The fact that Kim always stayed 100% Hip Hop and never went bubblegum pop is enough for me to give her daps. Imagine if back in 2001, Kim had done a song with O-Town, or made music that sounded like a Jessica Simpson knock off.
Kim kept it true and for that she always gets my respect, unlike…
Maybe thats why she flopped off the face of the earth :(… KI
“Kitty Box”
“Lady Marmalade”
POP songs !
Lady Marmalade is more r&b than pop and her verse was just as urban as any other of her verses.
Not once did i hear a “twinkle twinkle little star”
Deeeeeead @psa ‘flop off the face of the earth’
Kitty Box isnt pop!
It wasnt even a single so why does it matter????
Hell! Even “Lady Marmalade”isnt a pop song! Its R&B!
The Floppery continues! Lucy Lui is still trying to make a comeback I see! Asian b****** need a JOB in 2013 cuz this s*** is sad! Take a SEAT Krim! lmfaooooooooo :,(
Gahhhh. I…I cant anymore! lmfao in 2013 Krim shade is just….I cant. I cry everytime I shade her! She just so….DONE! The wig…the outfit…the IRS…the flop tour…the flop cocktail recipe’s…Paypal #1 flop record…flop new artist…flop surgeries, flop flop flop flop flop! lmfaoooooooo!!!!! I cant take it!
Its 2013 and you’re still hating on Kim? Its time to move on Barb
Lmao..That sad thing is, youre right. Krim will FOREVER be at the bottom of the totem. Laughing at her floppery is no longer funny. *real tears*
*Sigh* Why cant you just be humble about it and move on?? Jheeze!
Good luck to Foxx, I like Kim but…as the article says it’s been 2 years since she put out her own mixtape…not necessarily who you want directing yours.
Still, if Kim can get and keep her s*** together she probably would be really great as that nurturing rap-figurehead. Business wise…it is what it is. Nicki’s got the endorsement game on lock, don’t try to beat her just do your own thing and make your own fame.
Nice to see Kim putting another chick on. And she does look decent here
Lil Kim’s career ended when Nicki wiggled her ass while sitting on that motorcycle in the Super Bass Video!
DEATH! 🙂 🙂
LIL KIM IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE QUEEN and her career is far from over. She released Black Friday as a mixtape and got massive sales. She started her OWN RECORD LABEL and has since released various artist mixtapes. She is the face of the QUEEN BEE CIROC cocktail, she had a very successful tour in 2012, she was featured in a cameo in french montana/wale everywherewego video. She was on TV numerous times in 2012 on BET’s 106th and park, on Bravo with Andy Cohen, on BET at Rip the Runway, on MTV with Sway Calloway. She released numerous singles, had a Christmas giveaway for her fans, has numerous hairsalons, etc…Currently she just released 2 videos for Tiff Foxx (jelly beans, goaldiggers) and has just filmed another one to be released in which she will be featured in this time. She is working on her album, a book and also will be having a reality show to come in 2013 with TVONE. or yeah and did I mention that she has done this all independently. Kim is not to be wreckoned with and as we all see you all are heavily anticipating her return hence the numerous comments she’s receiving in just hours of this video shoot announcement. #HATERS FALL BACK!
Y’all fans need to give up cause u makin her look real bad by sayin dis s*** an dats nothing at all no new music of her own an yall act like pic of her is da new music now its sad cause yall believes in a liar
2TEAMKIM i love kim! been a fan but mehn i just don’t get her! when the f*** is she gonna release new music..she keeps lying to her fans! been 2 years since black friday! and i hated the video for that song even thou she murdered shitti minaj on it! she needs to come correct!
Jump ship sweetie…i did looong ago. But still STILL waaaaaay better than icki!
This is some real shyt right here…i luv it…
LIL KIM all day everyday!
The Last official Kim album got 5 Mics from Source Mag, the only Female Rapper to ever get that remember that!
There is not 1, i repeat not 1, official Lil Kim album that is bad, and thats what people are going to remember and Onika’s albums could NEVER match upt o any of Kims classics! when she comes back properly and officially ya’ll see that
Have to agree!! Kim’s records are CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED! And are known for being classics!! Nicki doesnt have that. What album or song from nicki can u call a classic??
EXACTLY…NONE OF NICKI’S SHYT WILL BE REMEMBERED.. SHE’S GARBAGE
Kim is irrelevant now, but at the end of the day she managed to stay hot for a decade.
its only 2013 and Nicki already can’t go platinum anymore, i highly doubt she could be relevant in 2020.
#POW
Yall kill me using the term irrelevant like do we even know you who itches? Obviously nicki thinks shes relevant since almost every track is a diss and nicki is copying what a so called hasdbeen has already done years ago.
This b**** only coming back because the QUEEN, Nicki Minaj is straight dominating everything more than she has. Nicki Minaj is better than Lil Kim 100x, Lil Kim is finished so is Foxy. All these female rappers now want to come out because Nicki is straight killing everything with hits after Hits. She’s the best female rapper EVER! period.
LOVE LIL KIM…..I SUPPORTING TIFFANY JUST BECAUSE KIM!! COME ON LADIES BRING SOME REAL HIP HOP BACK!! FEMALE RAP IS DEAD…BUT COMING BACK!!
