Friends, today is Lil' Kim's birthday. The multi-platinum artist is the only female rapper to have an album get 5 mics — the highest rating — in The Source. She also got a Grammy for being part of the crazytown cover of "Lady Marmalade" with Christina Aguilera, Pink and Mya. In any case, the "black Barbie dressed in Bulgari" has always called herself the Queen Bee, and you gotta love that. Everyone else is just a drone, a worker in your world, right, honey? Speaking of workers, we've got to take care of business and thank our sponsors. This week, the writers on this site can pay rent because of: TLC's Ashley Paige, Chelsea Art Museum, Mighty Leaf Tea, Nextbook and Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Many, many thanks.

"The Jump-Off"

Trick Daddy's "Sugar." LOVE THIS SONG. It's nasty, but I love it.

"All About The Benjamins" from 1998. Ten years ago. I feel old.

"Shut Up, Bitch."
