3. No Matther What They Say (2000) was from Lil’ Kim’s Notorious K.I.M. album. The video featured P. Diddy and Lil’ Cease. Lil’ Kim’s favorite designers for this record featured Louis Vuitton and Versace.

If I was you I’d hate me too

Louis Vuitton shoes and a whole lot of booze

Every other week a different dude and other crews

I make offers nobody can refuse

You might even see me on the channel 9 news

I get paid just for laying in the shade

To take pictures with a glass of Lemonade 

My rocks shine like it was dipped in Cascade

(Uh-uh, Kim been fly since she was in the fifth grade)

Wake up in the morning to breakfast from a maid

Wanted me so bad Wanted me so bad you went and copped the bootleg

Y’all niggas played like a high top fade

Some of the shxt I hear I don’t know how it got played

Y’all rock Versace and y’all went out and bought it

I rock Versace and y’all know I ain’t paid for it

My fam deep with security in the jeep

When the Queen come in town everything shut down

2. Junior M.A.F.I.A. (1995) Get Money was definitely a hot record and Lil’ Kim’s verse made me love the record even more. The video featured cameos from Charlie Baltimore, Salt and Peppa, and Mary J. Blige. On the record, Lil’ Kim’s favorite designers were Armani, Adrienne Vitadini, and Chanel.

Now you wanna buy me diamonds and Armani suits
Adrienne Vitadini and Chanel 9 boots

I been gone for a minute now I’m back at the jump off (Jump off)
Goons in the club in case somethin jumps off
And back up before the hive let the pump off
In the graveyard is where you get dumped off
All we wanna do is party (Woo!)
And buy everybody at the bar Bacardi (Woo!)
Black Barbie dressed in Bvlgari

I’m trying to leave in somebody’s Ferrari 

We would like to wish Lil’Kim a Happy Birthday from the Baller Alert family!
