Download I think is the last big hit for Lil' Kim. Many thought the rapper was returning with a new album with the release of Download . The song was simply being released so Kim could get out of a nasty contract she was in and things haven't been right since.

Take a behind the scenes look as Fantasia joins legend Charlie Wilson as the remake the classic hit; "I Wanna Be Your Man" which is Charlie's current single. Fantasia's new single is "Cornbread & Collard Greens" which is the 3rd single off her "Back To Me" album. Fantasia recently performed the song on "Idol" but I wasn't able to catch it. ---------------- Now playing: Mariah Carey - Candy Bling via FoxyTunes
