even though Lil Kim has fallen off of my radar, I AM STILL ROUTING for her! she is a pioneer for sexy rapstress' across the globe. prior to Kim's domination, female rap stars were dressed in masculine attire and exuded a rather machismo bravado. SHE made it less than taboo to flaunt femininity and sexuality. if it were not for KIM, NONE of the female rappers of contemporary times would exist in her aesthetic. she pioneered the lyrical content that made women scream in unison and fellas sit up below the waist. KIM IS A LEGEND. smart move to reintroduce herself to that HOUSEWIFE/LOVE & HIP HOP audience prior to releasing a new project. KUDOS!!
