Top 10 Lil Kim songs

Rapper Lil Kim made headlines this week for her remix of the newly released Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj track “Flawless.”

In her version, the pint-sized artist disses Minaj and tweeted the track to her followers. She also tweeted several vintage pictures of herself sporting some of the same styles Minaj sports today. Kim tweeted the words ‘Identity theft’ with the photos.

So it looks like the beef between the two ladies is not over with. However, lost in their distaste for one another is the fact that Lil Kim paved the way for Minaj, as other female rappers did for her. And even though they may not get along, there’s no denying that Minaj was once influenced by Kim’s talented lyrics, iconic looks and stage presence. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?

Born Kimberly Denise Jones, Lil Kim was raised in New York’s City’s Brooklyn borough. She too was heavily influenced by female rappers before her, including MC Lyte and The Lady of Rage. She got her start as a member of Notorious Big’s group Junior Mafia. Later, Kim dropped her debut album and went on to have a successful solo career.

Let’s take a walk down memory lane now and countdown the Top 10 hits from the original Queen Bee herself.
