As we all know, the beef was soon to come and it is the best thing to happen in a long time. One of hip-hop's greatest female MCs, Lil Kim response to new comer Nick Minaj's Roman's Revenge with her latest diss Black Friday.
For those who grew up in the 90s knows Lil Kim for her greatest hits, "No Time", "Crush on You", "The Jumpoff", "Magicstick" and many more. She is also known for her vicious lyrics with group Junior M.A.F.I.A. such as "Player's Anthem" and "Get Money", both being in top 20 in Billboard Charts and top 10 in the R&B and Rap Charts. The Queen B has been one of hip-hops favorite ladies for over a decade.
Lil Kim has one album with fellow group members Junior Mafia, entitled Conspiracy, with most of their songs being top ten in the charts. She followed with four solo albums, Hardcore (#11 Billboard), The Notorious KIM (#4 Billboard), Labella Mafia (#5 Billboard) and The Naked Truth (#6 Billboard). She also is credited in a number of film and television shows. Lil Kim was also sentenced to a year and a day in prison in 2006 for conspiracy and perjury. Since then she has done Dancing with the Stars and acted in various television shows. The Queen is far from done but there is a new female MC with a similar look and the controversy has begun.
Nicki Minaj, who was discovered by Cash Money's own Lil Wayne, has been gaining everybody's attention. With her numerous appearances on some of the hottest tracks such as Kanye's "Monster", Usher's "Little Freak", Trey Songz "Bottoms Up" and many more, she has become a household name early in her career. She is also known for her mixtapes and sassy lyrics with group Young Money. Nicki has recently dropped her debut album entitled Pink Friday, which reached 16 in the Billboards and is the first female artist to have seven singles on the billboard at one time. Nicki has had over 10 nominations and winning 7 of them. She is new in the game but is climbing the charts very rapidly but does she has what it take to be the next Queen B. Many have compared the two and some might say she is trying to be Lil Kim but no one will never know the truth.
The BEEF has officially started once Nicki Minaj aka Barbie released her single "Roman's Revenge" featuring Eminem. In the song Nicki doesn't say Kim's name but it doesn't take a genius to know who she's talking about.
Some of the lyrics read: "Nicki, she just mad that you took the spot" Word, that b***h mad ’cause I took the spot? Well, b***h, if you ain’t s*****n’, then get off the pot. Got some ***** out in Brooklyn that’ll off your top....
It's clear who she is talking about being that Lil Kim is from Brooklyn, but who are we to say?
Don't worry though Lil Kim replies in her diss "Black Friday" with: Who the f**k want war, FedEx beef straight to your front door, It’ll be a murder scene, I’m turning Pink Friday to Friday the 13th, Aight you Lil Kim clone clown, all this buffoonery, the s**t stops now, time for you to lay down, I’m sick of the fraud, I put hands on this b***h like a spa massage....
With these two going at it, its definitely about to make a lot of people happy, with the return of Lil Kim, this would bring great sales if she came out with another album. I like Nicki Minaj and thinks she is a great artist but my loyalty is to the Queen B and it would be great to have her bring the hip-hop world another album.
