Lil Kim Disses Drake After Dancing To "The Motto" [VIDEO]

Sigh...

I grew up on Lil Kim and I love a lot of her music.  But whyyyyyyy, Lawd whyyyy, can't she just focus on what made her famous instead of trying to get a few minutes of newfound fame by continuing to harass Young Money.  Clearly, they don't care.

During a recent show in Tampa, Kim performed her hits "Lighters Up" and "Magic Stick," but took a break to twerk to Drake's "The Motto," right before calling him a "bitch a** ni**a." So you pop it to his verse and then diss? Oh, okay.

With Iggy Azalea recently admitting in an interview in Vibe that she and Harlem's golden boy A$AP Rocky are an item and with rumors circulating that Iggy Azalia is going to be Def Jam's newest female emcee, the spotlight is definitely on the Australian born rapper.  She's confronting all of the attention and negativity that comes with the territory by borrowing Nicki's "Roman In Moscow" track on this new freestyle.

Yasiin Bey - Ni**as In Poorest

When Watch The Throne dropped the most frequently heard complaint about the album was that it focused too much on luxury and contained too much bragging about how much Jay-Z & Kanye West had accomplished.  While I slightly disagree, Mos Def Yasiin Bey put is probably the only rapper original enough to take the mega-hit "Niggas In Paris" and spin it to address how poverty has effected America.

Great start to Martin Luther King Day!
