For me, Lilβ Kim, AKA Kimberly Denise Jones, is someone who should get all the awards when it comes to being iconic across the board β the hairstyles youβve played with, the makeup youβve experimented with, even the clothes youβre wearing and the music youβre listening to β Lilβ Kim was arguably the blueprint for it all back in the β90s.
In this episode Iβm firmly sticking with the Lilβ Kim of the β90s β one, because thereβs a lot to discuss when it comes to the Brooklyn rapper, and two, because amongst all that information, there is also the often discussed topic of her lack of self love, which some even refer to as internalised hate for how she looks.
So in this episode Iβm focusing on the image that first caught our attention, and how she would go on to influence her fans, the music industry and the fashion houses.
Iβll be back with another in-depth episode though, so watch this space. In the meantime, Iβd love to know what you think of this series β have you been enjoying it?
