I know right? Kim used to be better than that. When Foxy kept making or attempting to diss Kim, she hardly responded. Now I see she got bit by the jealous, bitter bug. What pride do you have to brag about selling 113,000 copies on eBay or Paypal or whatever she sold it at. Oh yeah, Paypal said she was actually lying about selling 113,000 copies.

if it was true, her account would have went up by like a $1 million. Which Paypal would have suspended.

I don't know why that line had me rollin'.

I remember when Kim was talking about Nicki saying, 'yeah she gotta lil buzz goin' on'. I think that paying her homage thing is kinda tired. And I know she can't stand to see the response Nicki's been getting. I don't think she really expected her to do well especially with the direction she took with the album. That's got to burn even more. But hell hath no fury. I don't think Kim is gonna let up. She's trying to preserve (or return to) her position. Hopefully she won't end up shooting herself in the foot. Or maybe she already has.

TOO LATE!

Even before Nikki came onto the scene,Lil Kim was already a forgotten hasbeen that nobody cared about anymore Wasn't she in jail a few years ago? And getting all that ridiculous plastic surgery a few years earlier? Not to mention the tacky blonde weaves She played herself out long before Nikki came along.

Kim is so bitter.

i couldn't care less really, but if i had to, i'm rooting for Kim. whoever said "too much fake s#%t" and ppl won't buy in to it, really?! as if nicki is all real; that rationale is the least relevant to this whole beef, but its obvious Nicki totally swagger jacked Kim. so in the battle of the hookers that both need to sit down some where, Kim wins.

First of all, KIM should be happy that NICKI is playing up the whole barbie shit, lets be real thats when KIM went down the drain, the only KIM stuff anyone cared about was on that first record and the stuff with Biggie, after that she was over, no one cared and more than that she became a fake, kind of like 50 cent without Vitamin Water

SAY THAT AGAIN! Kim was cool from 1995 through 1997. Afterwards, she never fully recovered.

Why the beef ? I must say Kim is back on form with this track but her face is a mess that's why this won't go far .... too much fake sh*t people won't buy into it!

She's pissed because Nikki Minaj is the new Queen of hip-hop that's why there is beef

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.....No.

lastdecember said:

Kim is preaching like she is an original?? She's wack, she was good for barely 15 minutes herself so i have no clue what the fuck she is talking about, she had her year or two and now is a useless plastic doll with a fake everythhing.

More original than Nicki.

To be honest, I can't even call either of them "queens".

Just because I grew up with Kim don't mean that makes me go Team Kim. Y'all know how I feel about Nicki.

The real queen will always be:

but so true.

She definitely looks LaToya especially in the beginning--I couldn't make it through the rest of the vid.

If you the Queen you shouldn't be worried about what other chicks are doing. You shouldn't even be wasting time responding but I guess she needed a little push to get in the studio and actually record or something.

TOTALLY TRUE!!! If you know ure the best, shake it off as MC would say, i mean, did Aretha come out with "diss records" when Whitney and Mariah and others came out??? NO because she knows what time it is and who the queen is regardless of hits and shit

Are you serious? That's a completely different genre. You can't make a comparison like that.

She was better off just going on about her business, making a good album and coming back strong. Now she looks foolish, bragging (and lying) about her ebay mixtape sells while Nicki's album is #1 on the charts.

Paypal is a payment method. It's not really used as a site to purchase items.

But Whitney and Mariah never made subliminal shots at Aretha, the way Garbaj did Kim.....

Wow, are some of yall serious? Beefs and feuding are and were a integral part of rap. I really don't understand why people are upset with this. But to be honest, I think Black Friday is kinda weak. Kim needs a new ghostwriter.

And for the record, Garbaj started this whole mess.

Kim Addresses Mixtape Sales

February 17, 2011

Link

The sales of Lil’ Kim’s mixtape Black Friday are a hot topic of conversation. The rap diva claims to have sold 113,000 copies of the $9.99 release via PayPal within 28 hours, but some have questioned the authenticity of those numbers. The Queen Bee stings back at the critics and Nicki Minaj in an exclusive interview.

You tweeted that you sold 113,000 copies of Black Friday within 28 hours. Is that accurate?

Right now it could be more.

What do you say to those who question the authenticity of those figures?

At the end of the day, you’re always going to have your haters. We need the haters. There was actually a representative at PayPal who basically didn’t really confirm or deny it, but also [said] that they’re very happy and proud of the success of Lil’ Kim.

I think numbers in other areas speak for themselves. I mean, why aren’t they questioning the Black Friday [video] being at 2.5 [million views] in less than 18 hours? Why aren’t they questioning that? What’s the difference? How can you add up one thing and not the other? I just feel like people pick and choose the area that they want to attack [laughs].

Do you know the current sales numbers?

No, I actually don’t know right now. I have a team that kinda checks up on all that. We’ll keep you posted.

Nicki Minaj laughed off your sales claims. Did you see that?

I heard about it. I didn’t see it actually for myself, but to be honest with you, homegirl is basically obsolete to me right now. She’s doing a lot of lame stuff. She’s so lame to me right now—she’s always been, but now really.

At the end of the day, her sales can be questioned also. Not to say she didn’t have the build-up, but the only thing you kept hearing before her album dropped was nobody liked it, it was wack. Don’t get me wrong, she might have a couple songs that are OK, but who cares. The haters will be haters, that’s their job, and we need them.

Lil Kim is hilarious insisting that Nikki is "obsolete" to her,and yet she bases her entire mixtape around her beef with her.She's actually using Nikki to boost her own declining career.How sad.

and that makes it OK? Biggie and Tupac were feuding and look what that led to.

I remember in the late 80s,LL Cool J and Kool Moe Dee were having a feud.LL had a message for Kool Moe Dee: "You wanna battle me? Sell more records than me!"

Nikki said something similiar to Kim.When you think about it,the charts is where the real battles should take place anyway.Nikki is clearly winning this battle

Damn, she straight MJed her schnoz

Part 2 of interview:

On the heels of her Black Friday mixtape and video, Lil’ Kim phoned into Rap-Up.com to speak about the project and all the controversy surrounding its release. Nothing was off limits.

The Brooklyn rapper shared her thoughts on Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday album and if there’s any possibility of an end to their “hip-hop war.” She also revealed which member of Young Money-Cash Money she’s cool with and those who crossed her. Plus, what does Kim think of Foxy Brown’s diss record “Massacre” and where do her and Diddy stand today? Kimmy Blanco speaks up in our exclusive Q&A.

What can fans expect once they receive the mixtape?

They can expect a new Kim as well as the old Kim. I think why people love “Black Friday” so much is that you got an element of the old Kim in there that everyone can feel. You can feel the spirit of Hard Core on “Black Friday” and the spirit of the new Kim on “Black Friday” as well. I think that’s one of the reasons why “Black Friday” was so successful. It’s such a happy medium on that record and I think that’s what my fans had been waiting for for so long. I just feel that people are going to be pretty much happy. This to me is an hors d’oeuvre before the main meal. It’s an appetizer, put it that way. I think once the main course comes, people are gonna be so full. And not full to the point where they don’t want to eat anymore, but full to the point where the food was so good that you just want your stomach to die down so you can eat some more.

Have you listened to Pink Friday?

I couldn’t listen to the whole thing. I’ve heard some songs from it. I’ve never deemed her to be a horrible artist, I just think that people give her more credit than she actually deserves. It’s not even her who’s made her career exactly what it is, it’s the machine behind her. I’m not up against Nicki Minaj. I’m up against the Universal/Cash Money machine. You put that machine behind me I would have been dusting her off. At the end of the day, I’m not with Atlantic Records anymore, I’m not with a record company anymore, so anything you see me doing, I’m using my own money, I’m maneuvering my own self, I’m my own boss. She works for a boss. I cut my checks, she gets checks cut to her or probably for her. At the end of the day, I’m handling everything for myself. I’m on a totally different grind than she’s on. You know how you play a video game and you get to a certain level and you gotta break the code, I’ve already broken the code. I’m on the next level of the game [laughs].

A decapitated Nicki is pictured on the mixtape cover. Whose idea was that?

That was a fan’s idea. My fans are just beautiful. I thank God for my fans. They’re the best, the best, the best. This is how they kinda seen it. I like to give my fans opportunity. I have fans who love me and say, “Kim, I wanna do your artwork,” and I give them the chance. My fans are very special to me and I feel like when fans wanna do things for me, I let them go ahead and run with it ’cause they know what the other fans wanna see too.

What do you say to those who are fans of both you and Nicki and are concerned that this could escalate beyond wax?

Right now they don’t need to be concerned. I’m not going to allow anyone to disrespect me or take money out my mouth. I’m like a Malcolm X in that sense, but at the end of the day, I’ve been there done that, I know where things like this can lead. People gotta know that I’m not stupid, but I’m having fun. I’m protecting my brand and my empire at this moment. If this situation is deeper than what everybody would like to think it is, then it will all come to light. I’m a strong believer in how I conducted my strategy with this whole situation.

If you see Nicki in person, what would you say?

What is there to say [laughs]? There’s nothing to say. I’ve never said, “When I see you, I’m gonna do that.” I’m not into all that ’cause this ain’t beef. People have no idea what beef is unless you grew up how I grew up and where I grew up at. This is nowhere near beef. It’s an insult to even call this beef to people who really have beef in the streets and overseas and other countries where it’s real beef. This is nothing to even take to a different level. I’m not gonna let nobody disrespect me or my family or my freakin’ money. It’s definitely a hip-hop war and I’m protecting my empire, and I’m definitely protecting my brand. It’s an entertainment war.

Will we ever see a day where the two of you do a record together?

The only way that’s gonna happen is it’s definitely gonna take a check. At the end of the day, I’m a boss. I was a hustler before I was an entertainer. What I mean by that is, I love music—love, love, love music. I love entertaining, I love being in the industry, but the truth of the matter is if music and the industry didn’t bring me money, this would not be my first occupation. I also am a businesswoman and I know that living life, you have to eat. If the industry was designed where you didn’t make money from it, it was just music to produce, I would still do it, but it wouldn’t be my first occupation.

Has anyone from the Young Money-Cash Money crew reached out to you?

They reached out in the beginning when this all happened. Not Wayne, I think Wayne was locked up. Baby did reach out to me and I had nothing to say ’cause out of everyone over there, I think the two who ignited a lot of this is Baby and Drake, and in some way Slim. I really don’t have much to say to them. I’ve never really had nothing against Wayne. I think Wayne was the most mature one in the whole situation and the one who handled it the right way to me. I think me and Wayne actually like each other. I think we both like each other’s style. I think it’s been like that for a while. A lot of people don’t know, before this situation happened, I was making alliances with Cash Money because I saw them trying to pattern this girl after me. I figured she’s somebody that I could actually help and we both could rock together, but she didn’t want it like that. I have someone on my team by the name of Fendi that used to manage her and he said that she was always jealous of any female that they even brought around to try to put in the group or make situations with. She was always jealous of me. At the same time, she was a fan though—I’m not gonna deny that, but she would say little hateful things and her mission was to come into the industry and try to destroy me or get me out the way, so she could be the only female in the industry.

Foxy Brown released a diss record aimed at you called “Massacre.” What did you think of that? Did you hear it?

[Laughs] I don’t think she heard it. I don’t even—I couldn’t even—you know what, next question. [Laughs] That was the biggest joke of the industry ever. Hilarious, hilarious. I don’t understand it.

How are things between you and Diddy these days?

I don’t speak to Diddy. He basically showed his side and what he wanted to do, so he can go over there and run with it.

I love this!!!!! I think it's hysterical!! Bring on the bitch wars! MEOW!

Just wish she didn't fuck with her face so much

I also agree with Timmy: both these bitches need to bow down to the real queen(s) of hip-hop.
