Lil Kim is so iconic💗 I hate how the music industry just tossed her to the side like she wasn’t starting trends in the rap and fashion world!! I’m glad she’s getting her flowers👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I don’t think they tossed her she tossed herself she had all the fame when she had her original face it seems like the more work the less fame and I wonder what happened to her rapping I’ll never understand it all it’s very very very all very sad
@@ChocolateGumDrop89 false. Y’all just can’t get over her surgery y’all blame it on everything when it has nothing to do with it.
@@tiaraw872 how can you say false because literally she was ok until she went to prison by that time her face was already touched up but…..ok
Couldn’t have said it better ❤
Honestly I think the industry would be glad to embrace her now, if she would take her self and legacy seriously. A lot of her careers lack luster is of her own doing.
Lil Kim is “The Blueprint” for female rap imagery to this day.
🙏 amen
? She was just Bad Boy's token sex symbol, she had no real talent as an mc or lyricist
Yes, they've all referenced her at one point or another in their career.
Exactly, and a lot of those who are big now, have dissed her beforehand. Its crazy.
Yep
i will never not respect Lil Kim for the legend she is. she has done it all. she is a true innovator and i hate how people disrespect her anyhow if when she minds her business. also it’s time for her to receive the cfda fashion icon award because almost everyone who has that award have all been inspired by Lil Kim.
Same. Shes iconic ❤
Wow I have been seeing you everywhere! I love seeing active content creators on other channels :)
nice pfp
It’s mostly jealousy they hate how creative and loved she is she really birthed what we see now and the haters know it
This!!! 🎯
She was really that girl. The men in her life really messed her up but she will forever be a rap icon.
i really hate that this world gives men the power to ruin a career and life like lil kim’s
@@bradpity right like ppl can’t admit the men in her life fr influenced and abused her to the point where she got surgery
blaming men for her decisions??? She didn't have to date them
@@faiyaz9768 she didnt have to change her face bc of an OPINION. her self esteems issues are not men's fault. She made the decision too change her face, she was not forced to. yall blame men for everything.
@@sasha43630 yes I’m blaming the man and also wtf are you talm about most ppl are sensitive and she went through abuse all through her career and she had to deal with the media shut up so yeah I’m blaming men
Its really insane to me how people forget how much shes done for the culture. Shes BEEN the IT girl and you have to respect that ❤
THE *originall* okurr
Because she don't even look NOTHING close to herself. It don't even seem like it's her AT ALL.
She dumbed down female rap. Made it impossible to succeed without acting like a sex worker. Missy, Lauryn, Left Eye, Da Brat, Mc Lyte, Queen Latiffah are legends, icons and forever the moment
@@jakestroll6518 And what you think these female rappers that ppl obsessing over today are doin? Over sexualized, overexposed, and definitely overrated...All of them
@@jakestroll6518 kim opened that lane but def didnt over do the sexual shit
Behind every popping Black woman is a whole team of popping Black women 🙌🏿
You already know
Yesssssss ❤
She didn’t mean to her ex boyfriend broke her nose and it kept sliding so she hit it done and it started there
she stole madonna outfits -
@@zaneomarion7518 what outfits exactly?
The Lavender outfit for the VMAs was the moment, the era, the blueprint. Misa had the ideas and Kim had the charm and confidence: a perfect duo
Lil’ Kim remains a fashion icon who gave us those amazing looks. Despite all the surgeries she had, Lil’ Kim is still one beautiful female rapper I ever seen.
Yess way before Nicki Minaj that what the new generation don’t get
@@angelspivey8685 why do y'all always bring up Nicki? This is about Kim!
She went from a dark black woman to white as a milk bottle 🍼 out here looking like Michael Jackson
Agreed ❤
LiL Kim is still the prototype! All the girls owe her so much 🙌🏾
The coolest thing about Lil Kim that I always loved is that as legendary and successful as she is, you can tell she had the sweetest, most humble, and at times even shy personality. It's amazing that even at her peak, she never gave off the vibe that she was better than others. She always came off so genuinely nice and gracious of all of her success. Which is why she is STILL so incredibly respected in the industry. I just adore this woman, shes such an inspiration to me.❤
She’s really likable and always seemed so fun to be around.
YESSS THE *ORIGINAL* BLACK BARBIEEEE 👸 🐝
@@nenala7684 this!!!!
@@Yoshibelle615 💅 💅 purrrrrr
Yeessss!!! Me too!
It’s so crazy how lil Kim is legit the blueprint for all this right now. The foresight her and her team had is really insane and needs to be studied. She deserves wayyy more praise all around not even just pertaining to style
Yesss
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯facts
Yup even cardi said it she just did a shoot thinkn she did somthing different then end up seeing that Kim already did it lol she said lil Kim has really done everything
@@nellyblackpower Yes, the cover art for "Hot Sh*t" in the back of the car. I saw it and immediately thought "Lil Kim!!!" 😁😁😁
@@larryjr9705 yea and that’s what u call real homage and love instead of taking lil Kim whole persona and then acting like U didn’t copy her to the T
Lil Kim was a natural beauty✨
Not anymore 😥😯😥
@@rell4474 that's why don't date bat people
Was
❤
THAT GIRL! No one was doing it like her. A true fashion visionary. She doesn’t get her just credit but im glad videos like this are being made to pay homage and show the facts of her contributions
"Beautiful gowns" 😂💀
@@berserk1437 y'all Barbs is stupid and miserable and clueless
People better remember without Lil Kim the trend of sexy, high fashion streetwear would not exist! Her style, energy, attitude, confidence is everything!!
I don’t idolize these rappers but she definitely deserves her flowers 💐
Siri play “alien superstar” ! Lil Kim really paved the lane for so many ! Give her her flowers while she can smell em. 🙌🏽
Perfect song for her
Lil Kim was SOOOOO pretty! I wish she truly could have seen herself as she was! She was petite, cute face, beautiful skin. I wish she should have seen it. I honestly don't think the designers would have hyped her quite as much as they did if they didn't also see her as beautiful. Not that what they thought ultimately matters, but it is a relevant point.
On her prime she was so gorgeous I wish she would have known when to stop with the surgeries. There was a time when she didn't need it anything else she was so so pretty and banger body.
I read somewhere that the reason she had to have so many surgeries on her face was because of the abuse that she suffered from her boyfriend which ended up breaking her nose
@@malenyluna5275She had a child and gained weight y’all got to stop this wack a** sh**
@@sweetcreamnpeaches9577True that’s facts
I have too much respect for Queen B to talk down on her new looks as I see on social media. Her new appearance does not take away her legacy and the impact she will forever have on women in hip hop.
Exactly
Periodt 👏🏽
Queen Bee was that girl back in the late 90s/2000s. Her influence on the fashion culture was felt, whether it was Nicki, Vistosso Bosses, etc. There’s a splash of Lil Kim still around and that’s amazing to see.
especially at 3:11 it reminds me of Nicki in the we go up video
@@aniyahgivenchy303 just cus the jacket ? Not even the same brand and Nicki looked completely different w a different aesthetic Nicki’s more feminine and Barbie
@@nestogee8231 totally!
Kim got it from Madonna , everything goes thru a cycle . Nothing is new .
@@a.6130 EXACTLY , and it’s ok to be influenced it’s not a bad thing for it to show either . The PROBLEM is when ppl deny but still do the same looks and aesthetics but denying the influence that’s when it becomes copying . Like Cardi B , she SWEARS nothing she does has any Nicki influence yet if we’re being real it seems Nicki is cardis biggest influence. She do more like Nicki than she does like Kim / queen latifa or anyone else that she fraudulently said was her influences 🤣
So dope to see the black women behind these looks and how Kim always acknowledged them.
Didn’t even watch the whole video yet and started smiling because she deserves her damn flowers 💐 ! ♥️ Thanks BFTV ❤
🫶🏾
Omg we have the same last name 😭💜
Kim is so Amazing. I love this lady
Same.
@@Breeology_ I’m adopted. Maybe you’re my cousin lol.
She is the Muva of ALL these rap girls..often imitated never duplicated 💛💛💛💛💛💛
She is the Blueprint…Period ❤❤
I find it so heartbreaking that lil Kim’s legacy has become a caricature of her former self. Unfortunately for the younger generation they only know her for her surgeries and skin lighting controversies plus her very public confrontations with Ms Minaj.
She is an icon and a trend setter and I am beyond enraptured that you focused on her accomplishments rather than her defeats.
No I’m from the younger generation 04 baby.. the real know that lil Kim is THEEE QUEEN BEE 👑
@@bebecap1970 you do know that not all people your age know about her and that’s ok cause she was before your time. I’m glad you know about her.
@@bebecap1970 baby that’s not my gene bcuz most of us only knows her from the beef with the real queen of rap nicki
@@zaneomarion7518 yea cause some of y’all uncultured asf and weird
@@zaneomarion7518 Nicki Minaj fashion wise is not cute either.
thank you for giving her flowers to her while she's still here. i see her influence everywhere 25 years later. I C O N.
Gotta give you your flowers for this video. I’m a die hard Lil Kim fan and this was such a tasteful, detailed yet exciting video. I didn’t realize that it was concluding until I was the restart option. You did Kim divine justice which isn’t common today. I hope she sees this and reposts in some way
😭
Lil Kim’s looks will forever be iconic, Misa is a legend🤍
Lil Kim, Aaliyah, Da Brat, Missy and Mary J Blige were my ultimate black girl hair and fashion icons when I came of age in the 90s (name a more iconic quintet… I’ll wait 🤣) . It seemed like back then the emphasis was much more on playfulness than perfection.
Oh, how I wish Kim could see how utterly amazing she was - her bold persona and the cheeky sparkle in her eyes made her more beautiful than any surgery (which I’m not against in principle, but we can agree we’ve seen diminishing returns). Oh well, we’ll always have THAT purple catsuit, which remains undefeated 💜
Lil Kim's fashion impact is unmatched.
She's still so fly. She can dress her azz off 💅🏾 I love me some Lil Kim
she brought high fashion to hip hop, it sucks that she didnt get a single vogue cover decades ago but thats usually what happens when you're a pioneer
I love Lil Kim! She introduced me to higher fashion brands such as Gucci, Versace, etc. She's my inspiration for a carefree black girl like myself
I love this! She has ALWAYS been a fashion icon and all around it girl!
Lil Kim is a fashion icon. Nothing more nothing less. We are all inspired by her!
I’m glad that Kim is being recognised for the fashion icon that she is. I true trend setter!
Now THIS is the content we need to see! We just started a channel sharing real black culture, history, and excellence. Now is our time to build generational wealth! 🙏🏾
I love lil kim❤❤ I hate how she doesn't get the credit she deserves.
I forgot how huge Kim was in the early 2000's. She's truly an icon.
Don't matter what they say She still got it going on, I'm glad I got that chance to experience Lil Kim despite being born in '03. 💞💞💞
She was so fly and pretty!!!! So glad I was born n the 80s and raised in the 90s because I got to witness this entire run of hers! She's always been the blueprint. I remember all these interviews and looks! I went to NYC to shop at petite peton because of her shoe game! She will always be iconic!
She was so beautiful and iconic. She pulled off those looks like no else can. Btw did anybody notice Mary's facial expressions at the VMAS?
Yeah. I was briefly wondering why she had that look on her face. She looked annoyed.
Love your channel and love Lil kim.
She made me fall in love with hip hop.
She was saying some S% it that male rappers would say. She was the reason why I got a long ass jet black weave.
Da blue print of Female Rap!
Preach!
Wow! The way the girls recreate her looks til this day. She is so iconic!
Kim is THEE blueprint. Very first Queen of Rap. Started every trend that's popping now. Made the BIGGEST impact in female rap, aside from Missy Elliot & Lauryn Hil. Period. The fact ANYONE would disrespect her..... shows how far rap has fallen.
Lil Kim will always be a fashion icon like Diana Ross and Jane Birkin. Kim pushed boundaries in fashion at a time when it was minimalistic and dull. She painted the world with her style and cool and bold personality. Forever my fave queen of music and fashion ❤️💯😎
One of my earliest memories was her purple look at the 1999 vma’s. I was literally 2 years old watching it in my grandmas living room with my older cousin while she was doing my hair. It was shocking but I was in awe. I don’t remember much else from 1999 but that moment was ingrained in my memory and still is to this day! 😭😭😭
BABY THATS THEE QUEEN BEE. As a black women she inspired me to be myself. SHE IS THE MOMENT and these new girl maybe a music icon but would never be a true fashion icon. KIM IS THAT GIRL. She did it all. As an 04 baby, I wish my generation was iconic as the earlier. This made me so happy.
Can you please make one in the Foxy brown. She’s so underrated. She also inspired a lot of women with her iconic flow, high self esteem, high confidence and she represented so well for the dark skinned women.
Honestly, I was never a Kim fan back in the day (I was churchified back then), but I wasn't a detractor either. But I can say that Kim was THAT GIRL! Anyone doing the same kind of stuff after her are imitators (without giving credit) or homage acts (when giving credit). Kim is an ICON.
Honestly I didn't realize just how a massive pioneer Lil Kim was outside of music and its shame many people will forget about them over younger acts
You and me both
Lil Kim was ahead of her time and very original ✨👌🏾
Lil Kim was so gorgeous and such a fashion icon, I really hate how she basically destroyed her face
Nope that was an abusive bf she was going with
Imma need yall to not talk about her surgeries if you don't know the reason why she did them. Yall sound like such fake fans talking on her surgeries but never her impact. I challenge yall to not be backhanded when yall praise lil kim. When yall praise Nicki Minaj yall never bring up her rapist husband.... so whats good?
@@aundreshabazz9624 cheap excuse
Lil Kim is Beautiful
@@berserk1437 BE QUIET!
The blueprint. She pushed the boundaries in so many ways and we all where in awe.😁
Lil' Kim is still THAT GIRL because a lot of her iconic looks are still being duplicated to this day! My favorite looks of hers are the Chanel outfit that she wore in Missy's music video and her Hardcore album cover.
She deserves a fashion icon award. She's a fashion goorl
Gotta give a shout out to miss hylton, she styled some of her most iconic outfits
Kim and her various wigs & colors are truly iconic! She shows how much fun it is to play with your hair. Be bold & fierce with it🙌🏾
A lot of Nicki fans needs to watch this and stop bashing this lady for no reason. Majority of them wasn’t even born when this lady was out teaching Nicki the game.
All of this 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Right. But Nikki obsessed fans probably don't even respect their 30 yr old grandmother. Let alone anyone else 😂
That's why I love the long RUclipsr's videos (Part 1 & 2) that covers the obsession Nicki had with Lil Kim. Very detailed...pictures say 1,000 words. The comment section showed that some of Nicki's fans were finally seeing just how much Nicki copied to the point they recognized it was scary and creepy. From the fashion, picture poses, and lyrics. I mean she was even trying to pose with a kangaroo like Kim did. It made some of the Barbs admit Lil' Kim was the original rapper Barbie who Nicki modeled her entire career from.
@@alizehustle9385 girl these are the finesse babies! Years of no absolutely no substance from mama Nicki and now we got a generation of Barbs that don’t even know Barbie was started by Lil Kim! 😂 They are full of scammers and bbls! 😂
Nicki been in the game for over a decade now, get out of social media, a lot of her fans are OLDER. I was 15 in highschool when I became a fan of Nicki im now 30. I grew up on Kim ! Yall really think all of Nicki fans are 12 year olds on social media arguing 24/7
You're always coming through with the Documentaries. Kim is a I C O N and will always be an Icon.
I love Kim til this day that will never change, I loved that she was versatile but had a signature style. Them designers loved her cause she took risk but still had her signature style too, it was like everything was tailor made for her. She is so Tiny but had a big presence. She needs a documentary or a movie. She will always be an icon to me.
her style is like no other - i have to say. she needs to do a book for her looks i would buy it
I just want to say how much I love your channel. I’m a gay Latino man and I look to you and Kenya and Khadija and ms. Lovelyti for all my pop culture/political/ and overall life information. Queen kim is why I love female rap and all the girls deserve to win ❤
I also make disco pop if anyone wants a listen 🎧 bless you BFTV 💕
i'm so happy to see a positive video about Kim, i'm actually fed up of the 'she ruined her face' comments. she does not hurt anyone and she deserves recognition!
She is a legend. I can't understand how they allowed you know who to copy her entire style.
I grew up in the Nicki Minaj era so I don’t know much about Lil Kim. She’s such an icon! The blueprint of female rap. Thank you so much for this video! 💖
So innovative, She made it hard to top her! I wonder who the next stylist will be who changes the game so profoundly. It’s time for something new.
Thank you for this. My favorite female rapper ever. She definitely deserves her flowers. #BKallday ❤
I love the way you made this video!! She's one of my favorite rappers of all times, she was all that and then some she's an icon.
video is very well done!
THANK YOU BFTV, It's so Important to Salute our ICONS while they are STILL here to Appreciate and Revel in it. Kimberly Jones Will ALWAYS be a Fashion AND Hip-Hop ICON!!!
KIM is just amazing and horribly disrespected and not given her proper credits .... so thank you for this! I remember seeing all these looks for the first time when originally worn and many still give goosebumps..She really was ahead of her time considering many of the looks remain current and fresh looking. But the best thing about KIM is she is a beast in the studio and actually has given us timeless hits as well as looks. She will forever be respected on both levels. None of the current female rappers can deny taking a page from the Lil' Kim playbook and that's just facts .So thanks again for such a wonderfully put together retrospective on this awesome human.
She stole madonna style…
@@zaneomarion7518 and she stole her style from every club kid in New York.. Madonna was awesome but she didn’t really invent much .. but she played the game like a GOAT and that’s why she gets my respect.
@@lw9924 just like kim soo- moral of the story everything on earth is rooted from somewhere and nothing is original-
@@zaneomarion7518 and just like madonna soo
@@snatched2348 lil botched kim ain’t original
GREAT VIDEO and I haven’t even watched it yet!! Good to see some real homage and respect given to Lil’ Kim. No one’s perfect but that doesn’t mean we should disrespect this woman’s legacy and forget all she’s done. Only black women musicians are disrespected like the way Kim is after their prime.
Literally I did a look one day with little brown glasses and all brown makeup, and the comments I got from family were “okay lil Kim” she’s an ICON
OMGG SHE'S SO ADORABLE BROOO 😭😭😭💖💖!! It's pretty obvious that Kim inspired and paved the way for many female rappers and they need to give her props! From the FUNKY, ICONIC, DAZZLING custom outfits, VIBRANT-COLORED hair, to the skills and techniques she uses in her raps
Lil Kim is such an icon. It’s crazy to think that anyone would come up, take her entire style and disrespect her when she is the blueprint.
💯💯💯
Great video! I knew she did a lot but the old navy add and some other facts really showed how she was truly iconic. I didn’t know she does need her flowers for the fashion.
An icon FOREVER!
This video brought me back and it made me smile so hard.
She is an era for sure.
I’m seeing a lot more good positive videos on Kim detailing her accomplishments slowly but surely she’s getting her well deserved flowers. 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
FINALLY! A LIL’ KIM VIDEO !! 💖👑🐝
The way people have tried to downplay her impact is wild.
Little Kim doesn't get the respect that she deserves. She was so beautiful too, started messing around with her face. Too bad no one told her that she was a beautiful black woman. That little Kim poster, damn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love Lil Kim she’s an rap and fashion icon. Being from generation Z growing up I knew who she was but I never knew how iconic and impactful she was until I got older and the trends that Kim started back then with the fashion and the braggadocio lifestyle in her raps is still showing and her influence is still showing. Without Kim steeping out and being bold there would be no Nicki, Cardi or Megan thee stallion.
Honestly this has changed my view so much of her and the industry and the way Nicki treats her too. I knew Nicki was wrong but she is actually DEAD wrong for how she pays her dust.
@Tisjonahernandesss🎀 yeah but it bout killed her to say her name….if we’re gonna talk about influence we also need to talk about lil lil lil lil Kim 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
nicki has always given kim her flowers??? i can drop some links if you want them.
@@bestb9110Gave her flowers and disrespect her to don’t forget that part. That was FAKE love, FAKE homage that sh** wasn’t genuine. You give props in interviews then disrespect Kim on wax child please that sh** wasn’t going to fly with Lil’Kim. She never really liked Kim she wanted to end Kim and destroy her legacy she never liked Kim.
Thanks for sharing this, because I was there for all of it. I just wish people understood how impactful her lyrics are, to the point there was an accredited course in Syracuse University (2004), dedicated to her lyricism. 💯
This is crazy… I was literally just watching old documentaries of lil Kim and her fashion and now you’ve uploaded this 😭
Thanks for making this
Lil Kim deserves so much more praise literally all of these girls wouldn’t be rapping about what they rap about and dressing the way they dressed without the original Queen 🐝
I became a fan of hers at 10 years old. I will never forget when I saw her in the Crush on You video and I was like omg who is this girl?
Lil Kim was that girl and all the designers knew it as well. She really didn't know how beautiful she was but everyone else did. She's still an icon in my eyes.
Thank you for showing Kim in a positive light. She’s so iconic !
I’ve always said that Kim was my alter ego. Her confidence is something I’ve always wanted to have. And she’s so nice in person. I love her
Thank you for giving Kimmy her flowers. So tired of the constant disrespect she gets from the younger gen. She was always a trendsetter
Wow..I never knew she was signed to a modeling agency.
While we all know she has changed since then, she still has a legacy to be remembered.
Yes..thank you for showing how she was that girl.
I'm so sick of the hate she gets and the mockery.
TicTok acting like they created the hair/wig tattoo, lil kim was rocking that two decades ago. She was way ahead of the times. She's so sweet, she can't catch a break and I hate seeing the mockery. She's legendary
The Legendary Iconic Queen Bee of Rap Lil' Kim 👑🐝👑🐝👑🐝👑🐝👑🐝
absolutely love this. this woman deserves her flowers 💐 👑
Thank you for doing this video, I'm so happy to see her getting the accolades and respects she truly deserves, she is the original Queen Bee, and has influenced so many.... But no one wants to give her credit for it... Just biting her style and riding off it. She's always been my favourite female rapper 💯👑 she just has the IT factor just being herself 💯 I didn't remember how petite she was! Love Kim always 👑❤️ #NoMatterWhatPeopleSay
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! THANK YOU FOR GIVING HER HER RECOGNITION AND FLOWERS ❤❤❤❤❤
This GENUINELY made me smile. 😩😊 The Blueprint!
Thank you. Lil Kim deserves so much respect than she gets.
Yes she does
Kim is not only iconic she’s was my gateway to cosplaying. I portrayed her outfits and people thought I was a stand user from JJBA. The fashion power she has 💕
I remember watching lil Kim as a young girl at the vmas and the old navy commercials like yeaaaaaa. She’s soooo cool. She’s been an icon and I’m so glad to see her finally getting her things.
I absolutely love this video! Lil Kim BEEN the Original Queen B out here with all the iconic moves she made. Thank you so much for this! She deserves all the love and credit for her talent and what she achieved. 💙🌺
lil kim is that girl and SHE set the standard
Thank you for doing this video! I love Kim and it breaks my heart that she doesn’t get the respect she is owed!
