Don't give Lil Kim excuses. She got swept up in the life and committed perjury to protect friends. She was a victim of her own crime, not a victim of Kamala and the media. Kamala is 100% right. The gangsta life is not something to glorify, because it leads to the gun violence and prison sentences we saw in the case involving Lil Kim. It still creates conflict between today's rappers and we know this, yet we continue to support rappers who glorify that life.
