That Welcome to Jamrock song was so sinister that u had Cam and Juelz sampling the beginning months laterâŚ
Lighters up wasnât a bad single. I remember singing it along with Jeezyâs Go Crazy. That was a fun summer lookin back on it.
The album was ok but the singles werenât bad.
This may have been the last decent Lil Kim album.
After that, she fell off. By 05, she became a OG and solidified it when she didnât rat.
La Bella Mafia was the beginning of the end as well

We don't even get shouted out and this is still an every-year summer banger in London. If you walk end-to-end at Notting Hill carnival and don't hear it from at least one soundsystem, I owe you a Red Stripe.

LOL. Lil Kim hasn't had an album since 2005. She dropped like two mixtapes and an EP in the 20 years since Naked Truth.
Makes me reflect how amazing rap was in 05That Welcome to Jamrock song was so sinister that u had Cam and Juelz sampling the beginning months laterâŚ

Rap was still good back then⌠R&B was as well
Radio singles were still actual timeless hits
50 and Gameâs albums ran the Spring all the way to the fall,
Jeezy had the end of the summer with TM101, it was a slow burn
Kanye had Fall with Late Registration right before I started 3rd Grade(I think it came out during the final week of August)
Juelz and Wayne ran that late Fall/early winter of 05 going into 2006 which helped set the stage for them with I Canât Feel My Face.
Kids actually still had fun back then.
Dipset and G-Unit members stayed flooding the streets with tapes,
D-Block as well. Jim Jones actually released a good album back when I was a kid and I liked the beat for âWhat You Drinking Onâ.
50 made beef entertaining which everyone in top form.
20 years later, we can still speak about that era.
Cats were still burning CDs and making major cheese from it especially if u couldnât sell weed.

No she hasnâtâŚ
Kim is probably chilling. The fact that she went to prison for a year and came home like it was nothing. I wouldnât be surprised if Kim was a ghostwriter nowadays. Folks have used her and Biggieâs blueprint to the ground.
I donât think that she cares about music like that now. The industry was siding with Nicki over her and probably said âFukk it, Iâm always going to be the Queen Bytchâ.
Nicki finally understood how Kim felt when Cardi came but the only difference is that Kim was always collaborating with the female artists and wasnât afraid to put a chick in her place.
