"Lil Kim Is the Most Influential Female to Ever Rap"
Upcoming Female MC Phendi let it be known;
Quote:
"I'm really not a Hip-Hop head," she matter-of-factly states when asked about what other regional artists motivated her to attack the mic. That being said, she then shows respect to Golden Era MCs like Lil Kim, Lauryn Hill, Foxy Brown and Eve before she also reveals a love for R&B.
"To me, Lil Kim, is one of the biggest, if not the biggest influential females to ever do it. You know what I mean, it wasn't just her music, it was her look, it was the way she carried herself, it was the way she talked, it was the way she walked; that influenced me," says the 'Label ***** 2' rapper.
She said Influential not whose the most popular. Missy and Lauryn were unique and differentiated themselves from Kim and Foxy's blueprint. They didn't follow that. Most girls today are still following that path because they were influenced by how Kim wore the designer labels, how she was overly sexualized in her music with feministic messages, etc. How she carried herself.
Nicki, Iggy, Azealia, Brooke, even Trina has qualities of what Kim and Foxy started.
Putting Nicki in with these girls. Nicki wouldn't exist without Kim.
