#ad RISING Festival, 2026 “We have a female who happens to be a rapper, like me, and my doin’ it is wrong. And ‘cause I like doin’ it, it’s even more wrong - because we’ve fought for years as women to do the same things that men are doing.” - Lil Kim ‘Hardcore’ and ‘The Notorious K.I.M’ albums by Lil Kim lay the foundation for female sexual empowerment in hip-hop. She copped the wrath of being the first but her legacy as the Queen of Hip Hop lives on. If you’re in Naarm/Melbourne she’s performing both albums during @rising.melbourne at Festival Hall on May 30th, you lucky ducks. x amber Sources: Hardcore Honey: bell hooks Goes on the Down Low with Lil’ Kim, PAPER 1997 Cardi B (Full Interview), DJ Vlad, 2017 Scientific Studies: How Many Licks Does It Take?, Tootsie Lil’ Kim: Celebrating “Hard Core” and “The Notorious K.I.M.”, RISING Melbourne Lil’ Kim - How Many Licks?
