- On this episode of People's Party, Talib Kweli and Jasmin Leigh sit down with rapper, songwriter, and hip-hop icon Lil Kim. We get insight into a number of topics -- including her latest album "9," a college course created at SU dedicated to her lyrics, her first interactions with Biggie, her biggest influences in hip-hop and fashion, and what it is about Brooklyn that made the borough such a rap motherland through the genre's early years.
Later in the episode, Kim offers her cadid feelings about being titled a feminist icon, what it was like being in the targets of C. Delores Tucker during her crusade against rap music, shares her experiences with Donald Trump on his show "The Apprentice," and speaks on "Girls Cruise," now airing on VH1.

This is the interview Kimberly deserves
We agree 🙏
We think you'll enjoy this too! ruclips.net/video/BepgpfRsWGw/видео.html
Absolutely. I dont want her going on the wack a** breakfast club any more.
Shout out to Talib for doing an intelligent, thorough interview with Kim. Usually people ask her the same stuff and we never get to see another side of her.
2 different sides of Brooklyn coming together for a very different type of Brooklyn interview. 🙏 u for appreciating
I totally agree. Thank you
Facts!
My friend went to high school with you and junior high with Kim. I was always wondering why you guys didn’t work on a project together!
The queen of hardcore hip hop
k.i.m. 👑
This interview is EVERYTHING!!! He did a great job asking Kim questions on topics we dont normally get to hear her speak about
He even mentioned Def Jam fight for NY lol nobody talks about that in interviews
Yeah i saw her on Nickel Cannon who is a great guy, but I love the way he ask questions

We think you'll like this new series of ours featuring Kim too: ruclips.net/video/BepgpfRsWGw/видео.html
YO!!! I would never have imagined how much Talib Kweli and Lil Kim had in common. This was such an important interview for Hip Hop! Watching this so happy.
Like kweli said on Instagram, this interview is going to challenge people's preconceived ideas of who Kweli and Kim are and what they represent. Also...BROOKLYN!
FACTS
They both MCs about the same age from Brooklyn...why would u think they dont have things in common?
Kim a clown now....all that money and couldn't buy some self esteem....she constantly disrespects naturi for actually loving herself.
@@ayana188 girl please stop with that mush mouth bullshit and go get your bitch your some acting lessons she needs em 😂 #thebitchcantactanyway
I remember working as a temp on 6th avenue and 50th street. LoL Kim came out the Limo and spoke to me.She was so down to earth and pleasant. Little did she know I grew up on the same block.St.James Place is where I was BORN 47 years ago.
This interview deserves an award. So much ground covered so effortlessly.
Most people only know or listen to KIMS mainstream music. Please get to know her catalog, she has so much LEVELS 📈
Even some of her unreleased songs are in my opinion some of the best
decarlos 💯🐝 “SLIPPIN” - “HEAVENLY FATHER” - “HOLD ON” ft MjB - “MAFIA LAND” - “SINGLE BLACK FEMALE” - “SPELLCHECK” - “OFF THE WALL” - “DURTY” - “THA BEEHIVE” - “DOIN IT WAY BIG”
El Ken De Blanco Facts. And she also has some good music on her mixtapes like . Trendsetter & Kimmie Blanco

Thanks for interviewing my girl! I love Lil Kim! People talk so much trash and completely overlook what a sweet, thoughtful, and sensitive person she is. As long as she's happy with herself, I'm happy for her! ❤️
Say what y’all want about this woman & her appearance but Lil Kim is legendary. Anybody still around today that’s from the 90’s deserves respect 👏👏
This was the best interview that she has done in this era so far... I ❤️ HER.. and I will be checking for more Talib interviews.
Agree, this interview is another reason why this podcast has become one of my must-listens every week. Thank you UPROXX and Talib.
This interview was dope. I also loved the interview she did on Genius. My two favs. 🐝
The best was with Genius but this one is awesome too
Glad she sat down with an interviewer that wasn't clout chasing. Talib is a legend as well and they know the importance of Hip Hop (Rap). This has to be her best interview. Now I need her to sit down with
Angie Martinez for Untold Stories
Drink Champs with Nore
An interview is ALWAYS better when the interviewer knows who they're interviewing..The fact that y'all both from Brooklynn made this interview even more special😍😍😍#👑QueenBee

OF COURSE our conscious King of Brooklyn would conduct such a thoughtful, interesting, smart and left to main media center interview for OUR QUEEN BEE! This was so good and Im so happy to see these two share a moment. Made me reminisce and feel all the 90s NY LOVE again! Now y'all do a record together!! ;)
And the difference between Talib and someone like a Vlad, Talib doesn't dwell on the negative.
Vlad hate loves Kim smh 🙃😶
This got nothing to with vlad at all but ok🤦🏽♀️
No need to bring up that culture vulture, there's a million differences between a legend like Talib & that lame
@@gloriempaka9474 They both interview rappers, but focus on different topics and you're being argumentative for no reason. You must be a real bitch on facebook too, but ok...
FACTS

Talib gave a better interview than these hot97 breakfast club interviews. The Breakfast Club would just asked her gossip questions which would make her intense n defensive, here she is smiling laughing real relaxed. Talib n his co-host did a great job u never seen Kim this relaxed n happy in an interview.
that breakfast club shit is for kids. That's why it's gossip and pranks.
love love love this comment!
I never watch any of those interviews, this is the only interview I've watched of Kimmy because I know we would get the positive and sensitive human being that she is. Thank you Talib.
That's because the People's Party is a safe place for any of Kwe's and Jasmin's guests. They use their platform to lift up and celebrate the culture. These other shows are vultures, picking apart and looking for clicks. There is nothing but respect in this interview, from all sides.
People need to wake up this woman right here is a treasure she is History.. her new album is a masterpiece.. but this generation is not about bars, is not about rapping, is all about Personality" Style, it's a shame how we are killing Great Ones..... This young generation music is nothing but trash ....... Lil Kim you will go down in history as the greatest female rapper to ever hit the stage... . Period
@busymike now was that reply even necessary the disrespect was a bit much🙄
PERIODT
2021 VISION THE QUEEN BEE 4LIFE 😎
YES
Period! No t...
This interview is EPIC! NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. 🙏🌎
Thank you Talib. From Get By to the jewels on Peoples Party. I'm only 21 but I'm in love with hip hop, Mcing, and learning about the culture so again, Thank you Talib Kweli
I love the part where Talib, and Kim talk about Biggie as Black Sinatra. Back in the day there was a mixtape called Blue Eyes for Bed-Stuy (Biggie and Sinatra mashups).
Karizmah Avro I had it and looped all the beats and rapped on em
I gotta find that
Let us know if you dig that one up!

Great interview Talib I love your podcast and you are a great interviewer
Respect ✊🏽
One of the best Lil Kim interviews ever!
Lil’ Kim , diminutive pint size rapper with scathing rhymes and scantily clad clothes to match her larger than life persona. The question what is life, for a lot of us growing up in the hood, poverty, guns, drugs, hoes, jail, gangstas that was life. Finding a successful path to navigate and express yourself in the 90’s was a road lightly tread. The evolution of music hip hop becoming mainstream and it’s burgeoning influence allowed Kim to step through an open window of opportunity and open the door for the marriage of our culture and mainstream pop culture. Marketing to women in fashion is a no brainer, but when a young black girl from the projects pairs Chanel sunglasses and suspenders she instantly transcended through time, as she is a reflection and reminder that you can be from around the way and still get fly. Her celebration on tracks with the likes of labels is no small feat. Before the idea of plastic surgery, Breast enhancements, colored contacts, dyed lace front wigs, pasties, one long leg one short, obnoxious designer logos, designer customs, rap as the radio for runway Lil Kim endured an enormous feat of losing parts of herself while captivating the world. The reign of Kim would begin in Full length fur, flawless diamonds draping her neck in a dior cocktail dress with patent leather Gucci sling backs, Chanel oversize sunglasses sitting above her finger waved hair. When asked about her fashion in 96, she then said she was inspired by the people, her mom, the streets, people on the block. Today 2019 after Diana Ross cementing the pastie, awarding her friend and influencing the great Alexander McQueen, being the Muse for collections at Galliano/ Dior, Marc Jacob for Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs, becoming a staple face and muse of Versace. Her free style has even had her largely paid in homage by Beyonce in 2018. In 2019 it is apparent that she was influenced by what she saw and what she saw influenced the world. There would be no embrace of sexuality, crass, inclusivity in hip hop had Lil Kim not risked being being crowned for everything wrong and never awarded for everything done right. Although, she has not been given her proper just due, it poses the question with all the hooplah circulating about her plastic surgery, alleged skin bleaching and personal insecurities did anyone ever allow her the opportunity to heal. To embrace with love and support, when she was breaking barriers and laying the pavement did we embrace her beauty as a person to be so fearless and courageous. Her ability to allow women to emote visually and audibly is undeniable, women now glorify everything they tore her down for then, was this woman a product of being so far ahead of her time as a visionary people couldn’t understand her, maybe the visionary thought there was purpose for the vision and not the visionary. Shout out to Kim it’s important that we have understanding, through abuse, child trauma, selling drugs, the day to day ills of the world in the hood, being a child millionaire no financial guidance, seeking love from ya father, going to jail, betrayal, having a miscarriage all to carrying this fashion shit on ya back. Sa Muthafuckin Lute the Queen 👑 Bitch ... the flyest bitch I know from 94-2020.. 26years of fly, frequent flyer miles is up there with thunder lightening 💪🏾💪🏾.
You hit it perfectly on the head
@@glocktaviousbrown5420 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Love going back and finding such solid interviews. All three of y’all rocked the podcast. Shout out Lil Kim, one of the best to ever do it
When an MC interviews another MC, you definitely can tell the difference vs when a media personality does it
I really like
the way he interviews his guests not rude or silly. My first time watching a whole lil kim interview and enjoyed it she seems to be so sweet.
This one was for Brooklyn! ❤️
Love how she told the story about Missy , Queen Latifah , Patti Labelle visiting her in jail she always talks about Oprah sending her books and Marc Jacobs so that was nice to hear 👑 🐝
Was listening to Backstabbers earlier today (from the Jr Mafia Conspiracy album) what a classic and one of her most underrated songs.
That and aunt dot Kim really wrote her rhymes. Big may have told her how to deliver them but she was a force in those days. I was a lil girl thinking LISTENING to her I was like wow...deep lyrics.. photos she gave BLK bombshell 💎👑
Their connection... Talib and Kim. ❤❤❤💯💯💯💯
Thank you for the respectful interview and for not trying to get sound bytes. Lil' Kim is underrated, but her influence is strong and you can see it in every female emcee out right now.

*Lil Kim is definitely one of the most important figures in female hip-hop along with Lauryn Hill, Salt-N-Pepa, MC Lyte, and Queen Latifah. She is the root and the blueprint for most of these current femcees you today from Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and Stefflon Don. Without her, none of them would exist today.* 👑✊🏾💯
