With over two decades in the game as one of the greatest female rappers to ever touch the mic, the original “Queen Bee” has been known to come through and effortlessly shut down a track full of her peers with ease.
Here’s a countdown of Lil Kim’s most memorable feature verses. Did we miss any?
Not only was this the one and only time to date that you’ll hear Kim & Foxy on the same track together, Kim’s verse was the icing on this cake of this hidden gem of female emcee greatness. Plus, you can never go wrong with a Biggie cameo!
9. Junior M.A.F.I.A. Featuring Aaliyah – I Need You Tonight
A very young Lil’ Kim laced this track with a verse not known to many, but forgotten by few who are in the know. Top it off with the fact you get Aaliyah and Kim in one video and everybody wins.
8. Mase Featuring Lil Kim & Puff Daddy- Will They Die 4 U?
Kim came through as only she can with a fire verse on this track from former Bad Boy labelmate Mase’s debut album Harlem World.
7. Jay Z & R. Kelly Featuring Lil Kim – Shake Ya Body
Kim quietly but undoubtedly blazed this track from Jay Z & R.Kelly’s historic “Best Of Both Worlds” album.
6. Ray J featuring Lil Kim – Wait A Minute
Even with the midas touch of Skateboard P, this track didn’t quite break any records or move any mountains, but it still wouldn’t have been half the hit that it was if not for Kim’s flawless verse full of quotables.
5. Mary J. Blige Featuring Lil Kim – I Can Love You
Mary J and Kim were a match made in hip hop-meets-R&B heaven on this classic women’s anthem.
4. Junior M.A.F.I.A. – Player’s Anthem
Kim solidified her ability to hold her own as the only female member of Junior M.A.F.I.A with her verse on this classic hip hop favorite.
3. Junior M.A.F.I.A. – Get Money
Kim went toe-to-toe with her mentor Biggie on this track and the result was arguably one of the best …and most memorable…verses of her career.
2. Mobb Deep Featuring Lil Kim – Quiet Storm (Remix)
“It’s the Q-to-the-B with the M-O, B-B. Queesnbridge, Brooklyn and we D double E P…” need we say more?
1. All About The Benjamins – Puff Daddy Featuring The LOX, Lil Kim & Biggie
Was there really any question as to which Kim verse would take the top spot? Her presence on this instant Bad Boy classic was everything we all needed it to be and more. And it still is to this day!
