Controversy sells. Just ask Eminem: Besides his novelty skin color, cocksure flow, and Dr. Dre's beats, his career was launched on a series of scathing tirades on any celebrity who happened to be in the line of fire. Moreover, mixtapes are now the foremost means of keeping an artist relevant in our topsy-turvy musical climate. Just ask Lil Wayne: His express production and distribution of a seemingly constant stream of new material has ensured he's never too far from public consciousness...

Lil' Kim may be going to jail for perjury, but she's not lying when she says her new album is her best yet. The album's hottest are Whoa, which packs a New Edition-style breakdown that proves Kim's got rhyme chops, and Lighters Up, where she rocks a reggae-flavoured flow perfectly...

Just ask Lil' Kim?being a hip-hop moll ain't all it's cracked up to be. If you rap badly, people assume you're a sex toy. If you rap well, people assume you didn't write the rhymes...and that you're a sex toy. Worst of all, you have to remain faithful, meaning, in Kim's case, catching a jail sentence for trying to protect your late mentor/sugar daddy's crew. But while Lil' Kim has always been in the Notorious B.I.G...

Even over a decade and a half later, the Beastie Boys are still inspring hip-hop artists. Who would have guessed that the Queen Bitch, La Bella Mafia herself Lil' Kim was one of them? Nevertheless, the first song you'll hear on this album is a Havoc produced remake of their classic "Paul Revere" - or perhaps one should say re-TAKE...

It's a niche she's finally made all her own, and one can hardly wonder why. With the claims of Foxy Brown despatched, Kimberley Jones can safely lay claim to the title of hip-hop's most diminutive foul-mouthed sex object. At what cost to her own psyche one can only guess, and yet there are signs here of something beyond the toilet talk and the acreage of bare flesh, as Lil' Kim gets back to doing something she hasn't really tried since Junior M.A.F.I.A.: emceeing...

If she was a dude, she'd tell y'all to suck her dick.The Queen Bitch is back. Years after "Hardcore" established her as the female torch-bearer for Notorious B.I.G.'s legacy, Kimberely has returned to show the world just how a REAL bitchflips the shit on the M-I-C.Kim's album revolves around sex the way Eminem revolves around randommayhem and violence - it is inspired by it but in no way OBLIGATEDto follow it's rules...

If timing is everything, Lil' Kim's couldn't be much worse. Just one week prior to the release of this, her fourth album, the lady who likes to be known as the "Queen Bee Of Hip Hop", traded her Gucci bikini for an orange boiler suit and the new title of inmate Kimberly Jones having been found guilty of perjury and sent to prison for a year and a day...

"Some people's jobs is to talk about Lil' Kim."Guilty as charged. Even though I'm not in the enviable position of a Court TV reporter, XXL interviewer or an MTV VJ with the salary and perks to match, it's just as much my job to talk about Lil' Kim as it is theirs. Lil' Kim certainly doesn't give people any shortage of things to talk about, and it's evident she has a Hollywood star's love/hate relationship with the media as a result...
