This is the part of life that I’ll never get used to, I’m so heartbroken 💔 No one ever understood the dope ass friendship u and I had. u always pulled up for me no matter what. I’ve learned in life love those who love you. Rest in Heaven my angel RICH HOMIE BABY! 🕊️

the cultural impact of lil' kim's 'hard core' album is for the books. it revolutionized the way female rappers were promoted at that time and defined the bold, feminine, and sexual aspects that define them till this day.
