While Lil Kim's career was a shining success in the 90's into 2000, there are a lot of good talent and bad talent she will now have to weed through. She has some very hardcore fans and also she was named in connection with Biggie. Another well respected artist of his time and generation. Nikki Minaj, and Lore'l, Queen Latifah, and a few male rap artists.. and a few other artists have staked out their niches and also new new. It's safe to say if Lil Kim she wants to have her time again she will have to claim her spot with a good album and definition. She will always get that respect but to make it big again she has to come full circle this time.
