Will The Real Queen Please Shut It Down?

OMG! The streets are talking and the lines have been drawn! Lil Kim vs Nicki Manj, its like Twilight but without the pale vampire or werewolf....but blood is being drawn nonetheless!

Lil Kim loyalist are clamoring to their oaths that she is and forever will be the Queen. Who couldn't the power of her reign with her first album, "Hard Core", released in November 1996. The photo alone caused more nerds to jack off from the picture alone, even the first track, "Intro In A-Minor" has a guy overwhelmed by the power of her pussy presence that he's busting a nut.



To her declaration for haters, "No Time", to her club classic, "Crush On You", she rewrote the game by giving the testosterone male dominated hip hop scene that feminine touch with sex appeal and pussy power. She verbally dissected and erected many dicks and twats were juicy from her verbal prowess.

Her sophomore album, "The Notorious K.I.M" released in June 2004, she came back from silently somber and paying homage to The Notorious B.I.G. not much thunder on this one, but gave us, "How Many Licks" leaving us wanting more and she came back with her 3rd album, "La Bella Mafia".

She came back to her power and satisfied our craving with, "The Jump Off". The hook alone was repeated so much it became a mantra and solidified her Queen status on the Hip Hop Throne of the elite.




Lil'Kim's, Naked Truth", gave us the call and response track, "Lighter's Up", but it also gave us a new look of Kim that threw us the fuck off! Really, Kim, you were a beautiful woman and you nip/tuck yourself into another person. However her fans loved her regardless, and she evolved into different woman after her jail stint.

Time changes a person, so Lil Kim became a Barbie...and apparently Nicki Minaj is a fan for the way she pays obvious homage to her. Her look is not original but took Barbie to a whole other level.



Born Onika Tanya Maraj, Nicki Manj silently and surely came to notice by providing guest appearances on major from Mariah Carey to Lil' Wayne. What makes her vagina monologues so special? Her fans say she's an original, while Lil Kim fans give them a evil side-eye and tells them she's copying Lil'Kim and isn't all that.


Set to release her first album, Pink Friday, 11-22-10, Nicki Minaj stands on the cusp of doing a coup on Lil'Kim's shaky claim of Queen of Hip Hop. She started out on mixtapes and remixed herself into a deal with Lil' Wayne's record company. Guest appearing on many established artists, some critics aka: Haters aka: Lil Kim loyalists are shouting and chewing at the bit that she cannot carry an entire record on her own, for her talent isn't shit.

Well, I guess she's a breath of fresh air with her vocal gymnastics and Olympic track runner dialect and delivery, she's elevating the game. Now before you cuss me out in Baby Satan's name, riddle me this: Each generation we have our one icon that captures the moment of our youth and tattoos its claim in our souls and psyche. So in this new game, isn't Nicki doing this for this new peeps coming fresh out the womb?

Lil'Kim is and always will be the Original Queen B, nothing can remove that title from her. Yet it seems that this torch will be passed on regardless cause Nicki Minaj is here with a quirky voice and staccato rhythmic delivery that will either irritate the fuck out of you, or make you change your name on Facebook so you yourself can tattoo her name on your soul.

Game recognizes game, so decide what team your on: Team Lil'Kim (Throw Your Lighter's Up) or Team Nicki Manaj (I'm Starting To Feel Like A Dungeon Dragon!)

Whatever you decide, tattoo your soul and pledge your allegiance to your Queen.
