As you may have heard, Trackmasters/Brookland Media have filed a suit against Lil Kim. Before people start to assume things, Let me clear a few things up. Kim is a kool chick but she really does’nt know what she wants to do with her career. While working on this latest album, it was clear that Kim did’nt know the direction she wanted to go in. She wanted to work with this person, then she didnt want to work with this person. She wanted to do this type of album, then she wanted to do another type of album. It was clear ...
