Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj Feud: Kim is Back with Fierce New Single "I Am Kimmy Blanco"
Warning! Warning! Hope Nicki Minaj is back in the studio and gearing up because Lil' Kim is making her way back into the music scene. The Queen Bee has released a hardcore track titled "I Am Kimmy Blanco" where she takes us back to the days of gangsta rap. Of course, she is still throwing jabs at rapper Nicki Minaj, but the song is worth a listen.
The feud between rap stars Lil' Kim and Nicki Minaj continues as "Kimmy Blanco" (Lil' Kim's new proclaimed name) has quietly been preparing some new material. Although I honestly wish these two would stop fighting and collaborate on a song together, it seems like that is far from happening. The Brooklyn native, who started the battle when she accused Minaj of copying her style and not paying enough homage to her... has been working.
But who is Kimmy Blanco and why is Lil' Kim calling herself this? Griselda Blanco was a Columbian drug dealer and murderer reigning over the 1970s and 1980s in Miami. Blanco, also known as "The Godmother" and "The Black Widow," was one of the most feared and cold-blooded killers of all time. Though this is nothing to celebrate, Lil' Kim embraces the power and fear this woman had over an entire city at one point.
"I Am Kimmy Blanco" translates into the intimidation and demoralizing that Kim wants over other female rappers. The sound of this track is a bit dark and talks about well, how much better she is than these "fictitious b******." However, this is Lil' Kim's sound and it takes us back to her begginings in the rap world.
This single is very different from the sort of "modest" tone rap has taken today. You will definitely travel back to the "golden age" of hip-hop where Run-D.M.C and Ice-T ruled gangsta rap. "I Am Kimmy Blanco" is rude, daring and very "in your face". But will this be enough to give Lil' Kim an official come back? Will Nicki Minaj go back to her mix tape days and shut down Kim with a gangsta track of her own?
Meanwhile, sit back and enjoy the show. Listen to "I Am Kimmy Blanco" below.
