Yes! They called it Ghetto Fabulous. I remember. Now it goes by the name of Boughetto. Bougie and ghetto. But it is what these women dubbed and was the toast of the 90"s
*Love or hate Kimberly Jones, one thing you can’t deny is that she’s undeniably the most important/influential figures in female rap. Most of these current female rappers see you today are taking a page out of her book because of the way how she started this whole sexual feminine rap. Not my opinion but pure FACTS.* ✊🏾💯👑🐝
Love C. Missy was in her own lane, and Kim ran LAPS around Foxy. Don’t compare them, Kim made her own lane, and wrote her own book that all of these bitches took a page out of, including Foxy🤷🏽♀️💯
I’m so glad to see The Queen finally get her flowers!! Kim is the BLUEPRINT for female Rap. Kim influenced every Rap chick that came after her from Trina, Nicki, Cardi, Meg, City Girls, Kashdoll etc all got their style from Kim!!
Authenticity ?? She sold her son out to an abuser creep! She knows who that man is and chose to turn the other way for decades!! AND also allowing her son to get all tangled up too, zero respect for that! And authentic not at all…
Fashion? You have a valid argument. I’ll give you that EASY. But Nicki Minaj created an entire genre out of her features, and she sounds nothing like Lil Kim. She’s hung with some of the greatest rappers alive, and single handily kept “female rap” afloat for a decade. Lil Kim is EASILY more influential in fashion, but Nicki has her beat when it comes to music by MILES and anyone saying different is lying . Kim sounded like Biggie in her PEAK years and literally no one is rapping like that anymore lol she made rap sexy but let’s NOT
@@5MicsMedia So we're going to pretend like Kim didn't hang with rap lyricist like Jay Z, Biggie, Jadakiss, Mobb Deep, 50 Cent, etc? Not only that but it took Nicki some time to find her own lane cause first she sounded like Kim, then Wayne, and then Drake. And most importantly, Kim held her own next to Foxy, Missy, Lauyrn etc. while Nicki had to sabotage her "competition" to make sure she kept the spotlight. That's why she's "retiring" now right?
Nicki Minaj is the GOAT. Kim was just the original OG who created the shit, but Nicki took it to the next level because Kim is washed up just like the album 9.
D W No I’m sorry Nicki Minaj is not the goat she did not take nothing to the next level she literally copied almost every single book that Kim ever did that’s not taking it to the next level honey that’s a literally doing with somebody else already did Nicki Minaj is not a goat because when she came in the game she came in the game biting off Kim she said it herself I used the infamous Lil Kim poster pose to get peoples attention right off the bat Nicki Minaj couldn’t be original Kim she was original from the jump no bitches were doing with him dead that’s why I cams the queen Kim the goat and still to this day nobody has been able to completely change hip-hop and be that iconic in the fashion world also but Kim did all of that Nicki Minaj hasn’t done it when people speak about Nicki Minaj they don’t talk about her iconic fashion and her iconic bars no they talk about the beef that she’s been in the bars that she has or she’s coming at people that’s what he was talking about Nicki Minaj when people talk about Kim they talk about her iconic fashion her iconic bars
The first time I seen *Lil Kim* was in the early 90's at a free concert with Junior Mafia in Greensboro NC. She blew me away not only with her fashion but her stage presence was bigger than anyone else on that stage & I been a die hard fan every since! Till this day she still blows my mind👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Congrats to Kim & Misa this was well deserved!
@@YumYumDynasty my parents and bros went to that same show back in the day!!! My mom always told me about it since I'm a Kim fan 😂 she says Kim was running around the park lol my mom says they were so close, she could have touched her
Lil Kim is a true Queen literally one of the reason why female rap is what it is now I’m tired of these uneducated mofo’s speaking on her name and then they have the audacity to discredit her. She surpasses just female rap, literally a trail blazer for women to express their body’s the way they wanted to literally she was in a way fighting against the oppression of women by testing the boundaries, but no she don’t look the same so now she the worst thing ever she’s a disgrace. I don’t get it but it’s sad how everybody turned on her.
Misa Hylton, thus is a great name to learn. I’ve always seen her in pictures with celebrities so it’s good to learn about the contributions she has made. Also, her and Kim make an amazing team. Great Duo! Also I would’ve mistaken you two for sisters, the chemistry is absolutely undeniable. Spoiler alert! Such a privilege to hear about hip hop fashion from the women’s perspective because women’s fashion definitely helped redefine the rap genre for it to cross over into pop.
Lil’ Kim , diminutive pint size rapper with scathing rhymes and scantily clad clothes to match her larger than life persona. The question what is life, for a lot of us growing up in the hood, poverty, guns, drugs, hoes, jail, gangstas that was life. Finding a successful path to navigate and express yourself in the 90’s was a road lightly tread. The evolution of music hip hop becoming mainstream and it’s burgeoning influence allowed Kim to step through an open window of opportunity and open the door for the marriage of our culture and mainstream pop culture. Marketing to women in fashion is a no brainer, but when a young black girl from the projects pairs Chanel sunglasses and suspenders she instantly transcended through time, as she is a reflection and reminder that you can be from around the way and still get fly. Her celebration on tracks with the likes of labels is no small feat. Before the idea of plastic surgery, Breast enhancements, colored contacts, dyed lace front wigs, pasties, one long leg one short, obnoxious designer logos, designer customs, rap as the radio for runway Lil Kim endured an enormous feat of losing parts of herself while captivating the world. The reign of Kim would begin in Full length fur, flawless diamonds draping her neck in a dior cocktail dress with patent leather Gucci sling backs, Chanel oversize sunglasses sitting above her finger waved hair. When asked about her fashion in 96, she then said she was inspired by the people, her mom, the streets, people on the block. Today 2019 after Diana Ross cementing the pastie, awarding her friend and influencing the great Alexander McQueen, being the Muse for collections at Galliano/ Dior, Marc Jacob for Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs, becoming a staple face and muse of Versace. Her free style has even had her largely paid in homage by Beyonce in 2018. In 2019 it is apparent that she was influenced by what she saw and what she saw influenced the world. There would be no embrace of sexuality, crass, inclusivity in hip hop had Lil Kim not risked being being crowned for everything wrong and never awarded for everything done right. Although, she has not been given her proper just due, it poses the question with all the hooplah circulating about her plastic surgery, alleged skin bleaching and personal insecurities did anyone ever allow her the opportunity to heal. To embrace with love and support, when she was breaking barriers and laying the pavement did we embrace her beauty as a person to be so fearless and courageous. Her ability to allow women to emote visually and audibly is undeniable, women now glorify everything they tore her down for then, was this woman a product of being so far ahead of her time as a visionary people couldn’t understand her, maybe the visionary thought there was purpose for the vision and not the visionary. Shout out to Kim it’s important that we have understanding, through abuse, child trauma, selling drugs, the day to day ills of the world in the hood, being a child millionaire no financial guidance, seeking love from ya father, going to jail, betrayal, having a miscarriage all to carrying this fashion shit on ya back. Sa Muthafuckin Lute the Queen 👑 Bitch ... the flyest bitch I know from 94-2019 .. 25 years of fly, frequent flyer miles is up there with thunder lightening 💪🏾💪🏾
I love how Kim respects her own legacy enough to acknowledge all aspects of her journey and include everyone who had a hand in helping her get to where she is now as an Icon.
She’s still setting trends to this day. Without Kim there would be none of what you see and enjoy today. Not even your girl Nick Miraj would exist without Kim’s INFLUENCE 👑🐝
When I was in high school, Lil Kim made me feel so empowered. She taught me to embrace my feminine energy throughout all my insecurities. I absolutely loved her then and I still hold a special place in my heart for her now. If I were to ever meet her, I'd probably break down. Truly the diva of hip hop. My girl!💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗❤❤❤❤❤💗💗💗💗💗💓💓💓💓💓💓
As a fan of her music, I didn't really realize how impactful she was in fashion until I saw the Playtime is Over series. Clearly, someone else was paying very close attention to her the ENTIRE time. So many looks and she was so heavily criticized the whole time. She's our Madonna.
@Erica Kane I don't remember her being that dark, but I'm not going to deny that either. I need to look at some old pics. All I remember is her being pretty to me always.
Misa’s influence and eye for fashion and mixing with the movement of hip hop and R&B in the mid 90s is/was a vibe! The way hip hop was growing at the time with the videos and the raw performances Kim was one of the best to do it! I was 11-12yo when Kim came out and I had no business listening to her but she was too dope and undeniable, felt like she was everybody’s fly home girl ❤️❤️
If she Never Rapped,wat she did for Fashion and the Hood,Fashion Designers all over the World wanted her at their Shows,they wanted to make her Custom Pieces,if Kim wasn't wearing it or saying your name,you weren't Fashion,Fashion and Rap is Lil Kim,Misa Hilton-Brim is the ICON STYLIST 🙌💯🤙
I've always was convinced that Lil' Kim was building her look off of Misa Hilton. Lil' Kim is not trying to look like an Asian woman but instead a copy of Misa.
THIS INTERVIEW WAS GOLD! I love the intertwine of fashion & hip hop. We are just that. The mention of Hector Xtravaganza definitely did it for me 💯💯💯 love these women!
only a hater won't recognize how Kim changed the game!!who cares if she got some stuff done who in Hollywood hasn't??even regular females our here changing up sometimes people go to far but it's they body Just like MJ!it doesn't take away their talent nor them being the best period!!and that's real❤ #the real Queen B 4life all her looks was fly I can't even pick one but I love the crush on you video all the looks 🔥🔥🔥
I bet She is such a sweet person in real life ... all you ever hear are nice/good/positive/ things about her ... everyone says she is a good person and that has definitely helper her image ... ❤️
I loved what Kim wore when she performed with Mary J at the BET Awards, that was beautiful. Also, the interviewer is so professional and intelligent. I loved her questions and the way she carried out this interview. Thank you 😊
I love Misa Hylton and everything she is doing for MCM and Love LilKim and the album 9 has been on Repeat I love Kim’s versatility in music and how she continues to evolve
Thank you Complex for this insightful interview with Lil Kim and Misa Hylton! I always wanted to know more about Kim's fashion and her stylist. Thank you!
Not just one but all her poses, fashion and hairstyle. Probably also quoted her but i don't listen to nicki so correct me if im wrong. It's one thing to be inspired by someone but she was a copycat 😒
Jay Jay I must admit yeah Nicki might have stolen some of Kim’s swag when she started. But musically Nicki Minaj is a better rapper. Nicki will go toe to toe with rappers like Kanye Jay Wayne Drake Big Sean Eminem etc. She even made some of them change their verse because her verse was so epic that they didnt want Nicki to outshine them. Most of the features she does, people only talk about Nicki’s verse. I cant lie. I like Kim but she fell off after 2002. Her last album was a total flop, didnt like it at all! I was so dissapointed she even put that out because it didnt even sound like her. I’m like omg Kim seriously with all that crazy autotune and talking about your pussy?
Kitty Kat nicki didn’t copy shit. Just some wigs that supposedly were the same. Stfu. Kim stole the style from madonna and Cher so she ain’t that original. Kim didn’t invent wigs and using a wig with the same color doesn’t mean your copying. Their rap style is completely different and nicki surpassed her long ago.
One Thing I can't understand is why 50 cent couldn't stop acting childish and just shoot a music with kim for Magic Stick, it was already at #2 and could have gone #1 and won Grammys and VMA's etc. He not only Robbed Kim but himself as well
I'm so convinced was building her look based on Misa Hilton. Lil' Kim is not trying to look like an Asian woman but a carbon copy of Misa. _Misa is the real Lil' Kim._
I remember this Kim. I feel like maybe she is at peace. That makes me happy. Im glad she has loved ones near. Kim inspired me at that time to stay on my grind and not settle.
Damn good interview and MOTIVATIONAL at the end...even tho i want to give up and say its just not going to happen ..the fact that i know music is what im good at steps in and says you've come to far to give up...and misa and kim confirmed that...THANK YOU LADIES😍😍😍😍😍 AND SHOUT TO COMPLEX FOR BRINGING THIS DOPE INTERVIEW
What do you think Lil Kim's most iconic look is?
All of em 🤭
Hardcore squat pose

Complex legendary
Today
"Kim been fly, since she was in 5th grade" love that line

Queen Smokeahontas Love how you worded it.
You better preach.
💯💯💯
Damn straight tellem again 💯💯💯
Exactly
She was the first urban rapper to open the door to modeling high fashion
Yes! They called it Ghetto Fabulous. I remember. Now it goes by the name of Boughetto. Bougie and ghetto. But it is what these women dubbed and was the toast of the 90"s
Preach sis
Lil Kim and tupac really pushed high fashion for the urban scene

Mycah J who hates the QB? 😳 bet not! She’s the best of the best, the OG, the 🐐
Yeah, she is ONE of the most influential.. let’s not forgot Missy and Foxy Brown.

They couldn't find a better interviewer?? She is so dry and emotionless! Kim and Misa are bubbly and fun she is just dampering the mood
Right, stop hiring people not from the culture.
Seriously it’s like pulling teeth with the interviewer ..very dull and lifeless
Like most of this lame generation of today is but swear they the bestest and coolest.
Misa Hyltons authenticity is beyond ✨❤️

Kim is the only celebrity that ALWAYS thanked and showed love for her fans way back before it became popular 💖
Lil Kim murdered the fashion game . Still killing the fashion game. I want the wigs with the designer logos on them❤❤❤
All jokes aside, lil kim is literally the most influential female rapper of all time. Music wise AND fashion wise.

Man this was like a masters class from Misa and Lil Kim!! I learned so much and the history from these iconic ppl is amazing!!!

I wish I had friendship like Kim and Misa 🤞🏾

Misa is also best friends with Mary J.

She looks like a Jackson. She can definitely play one in a movie.

Kim's skin still brown though 👀 people keep spreading lies
you can stop bleaching and color comes back, i'm just saying.
Thank u....people are sheep no brains critical thinking for yourself
It’s how they put her make up on she is not bleached.
Its call make up kim face maybe light but her arms and hands were still brown she didnt bleach her skin.

The rawness & knowledge of Kim & Misa ✨
So glad to see both Kim and Misa get worldwide recognition. I see the impact of these two in POPular culture today.
I've always was convinced that Lil' Kim was building her look off of Misa Hilton. Lil' Kim is not trying to look like an Asian woman but instead a copy of Misa.
Exactly
perhaps living vicariously through her due to insecurities
S Thunda I always said the same thing cause of they cheekbones but she also looked like Janet and reportedly using the Jacksons surgeons
That's exactly what I was thinking watching this. Kim is imitating the woman she looks up to. Wow. They look like twins and they sound alike.
Agreed.....
They look alike
I can watch Lil’Kim all day she’s my Fashion Icon love me some Kimmy.
iconic fashionista 😍
That's the mother of Diddys son, Justin.
THIS INTERVIEW WAS GOLD!
I love the intertwine of fashion & hip hop. We are just that.
The mention of Hector Xtravaganza definitely did it for me 💯💯💯 love these women!

Lil Kim rolling her high heels is EVERYTHANG !!!
Lil Kim is a legend period end of dissuasion! 👑🙌🏾
Still waiting and salavating for "9" Part 2!!! All hail the greatest female rapper to ever bless the mic: The Queen Bee, Lil' Kim!!!
I loved what Kim wore when she performed with Mary J at the BET Awards, that was beautiful. Also, the interviewer is so professional and intelligent. I loved her questions and the way she carried out this interview. Thank you 😊
I love Misa Hylton and everything she is doing for MCM and Love LilKim and the album 9 has been on Repeat I love Kim’s versatility in music and how she continues to evolve

Lil kim is getting her flowers 💐... 👏 👏 👏... she is so dope, in a way most do t even understand #babyphat
I love this platform its so raw and rare thankyou for taking it back to hip hop
Thank you Complex for this insightful interview with Lil Kim and Misa Hylton! I always wanted to know more about Kim's fashion and her stylist. Thank you!
FINALLY!!!! The QUEEN is getting her ROSES!🌹
She forgot to ask about the Donatella photo shoot but otherwise great interview didn’t miss anything.
💯💯💯
Exactly!!! That shoot was definitely major
Nikki copied that first pose of Lil Kim, but Nikki's too proud to give Kim her props!!
Not just one but all her poses, fashion and hairstyle.
Probably also quoted her but i don't listen to nicki so correct me if im wrong. It's one thing to be inspired by someone but she was a copycat 😒
Jay Jay I must admit yeah Nicki might have stolen some of Kim’s swag when she started. But musically Nicki Minaj is a better rapper. Nicki will go toe to toe with rappers like Kanye Jay Wayne Drake Big Sean Eminem etc. She even made some of them change their verse because her verse was so epic that they didnt want Nicki to outshine them. Most of the features she does, people only talk about Nicki’s verse. I cant lie. I like Kim but she fell off after 2002. Her last album was a total flop, didnt like it at all! I was so dissapointed she even put that out because it didnt even sound like her. I’m like omg Kim seriously with all that crazy autotune and talking about your pussy?
Kitty Kat nicki didn’t copy shit. Just some wigs that supposedly were the same. Stfu. Kim stole the style from madonna and Cher so she ain’t that original. Kim didn’t invent wigs and using a wig with the same color doesn’t mean your copying. Their rap style is completely different and nicki surpassed her long ago.
Galliano period
Yin Yang periana 😂
A true New Yorker a true hip hop legend.
👑 *My era* 💖
LIL' KIM THE QUEEN BEE SO U BEST TAKE HEED...SHALL I PROCEED?....🙌
I’ma throw SHADE if I can’t get paid!
Blow you up to your girl like the army grenade..
Yes indeed!😍❤❤❤👋
You can slide on my ice like the escapade
Ok now I get the cosmetic Surgery. She was inspired by Janet Jackson..I see it ❤️
Erica Jones Chile so true.
Erica Jones stfu her ex her broke her face leave this girl alone
One Thing I can't understand is why 50 cent couldn't stop acting childish and just shoot a music with kim for Magic Stick, it was already at #2 and could have gone #1 and won Grammys and VMA's etc. He not only Robbed Kim but himself as well
Lil Kim is a perfectionist she always stay on her toes.
Great 👍 interview
Crazy they both look alike
I'm so convinced was building her look based on Misa Hilton. Lil' Kim is not trying to look like an Asian woman but a carbon copy of Misa. _Misa is the real Lil' Kim._
Same thoughts🙄
They look alike now
I remember this Kim. I feel like maybe she is at peace. That makes me happy. Im glad she has loved ones near. Kim inspired me at that time to stay on my grind and not settle.
All this love in the comments... where were y’all when she drops her album???
Crickets...
🦗
She gives me the Michael/Janet Jackson vibe ...
I really enjoyed this she is def a fashion icon, misa is a gem
I was a freshman, and Misa was a Junior in High School, and I had the biggest crush on her! Shout out to Tiana Richardson.
Lil Kim gets so much love and "FLOWERS" why are yall making it seem like since she is not selling records that she is not iconic?
You got to be more pacific
Quit believing the internet rumors dumass she doing amazing in the real world
Who you calling a dumbass??? Boo Boo!
@@amandawalker8252 specific
Her "flowers" need to be public like the bashing and lies were all these years.
Lil Kim started all of it.
PERIOD!!
@@angelaburrell7476 she was a dress up doll,it’s the stylist you should give credit to and you know it
Great interview I enjoyed it so much.
lmfao When kim says " I didn't mind the "ghetto fabulous" shiittt we was ghetto but we was fabulous" was so perfect and authentic...lmao love.
Why is Kim sittin up there looking like Janet?🥰
Damn good interview and MOTIVATIONAL at the end...even tho i want to give up and say its just not going to happen ..the fact that i know music is what im good at steps in and says you've come to far to give up...and misa and kim confirmed that...THANK YOU LADIES😍😍😍😍😍 AND SHOUT TO COMPLEX FOR BRINGING THIS DOPE INTERVIEW
Been rocking wit kim since 97
