Lil Kim is perhaps one of the most influential female artists of all time. When she initially stepped onto the scene, Kim’s lyricism had a very gutter, street style to it. However, when Biggie Smalls convinced her to switch from hardcore rap to a more provocative style, to appease the male gaze, her music really took off. Her sexually liberating, provocative style of rap has become a staple in female rap. And she remains influential in the style of many of today’s femcees, including Nicki Minaj, Latto, Cardi B, and others.
