Lil? Kim Slams Nicki Minaj with "Black Friday"

It appears that a fierce battle is bubbling up and about to boil over between Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Kim. Minaj has openly praised Lil’ Kim in the past, even going so far as to sample a song that Kim produced years ago. Most people would see this as flattery in the largest sense, as Minaj has since gone on to do her own thing, yet Lil’ Kim seems to be just a bit irked.

Kim released a long-delayed mixtape yesterday, titled Black Friday – a take on Minaj’s recently released full-length record, Pink Friday.

The cover of said mixtape shows Kim in a Kill-Bill-esque scene, with Minaj’s body bloodied in the background, and Minaj’s beheaded, well, head, in the foreground. Kim is seen holding a sword. Pretty obvious what’s going on here.

While most hip-hop mixtapes are released as a free download (asking for an e-mail address at most), Kim’s mixtape is available only for a purchase price of $9.99. The move comes as a surprise; while not all mixtapes are free, initial reports were that Black Friday would be.

Trent Clark, managing editor of The Smoking Section, weighs in: “She’s been out of jail for over five years and…she failed to realize the game has changed. No one is going to (or should be willing to) pay for a tape featuring her taking shots at Nicki Minaj over beats that were around when people bought CD singles.”

Karen Civil, of KarenCivil.com, agrees. “She is beyond delusional, the choices she’s making to get her ‘comeback’ going isn’t working. She needs to spend less time worrying about Nicki and more time finding a ghostwriter to get her got again. She hasn’t released anything relevant or hot in the last few years, so the nerve of this chick to try and charge people $9.99 for her mixtape. If I wanted to buy a whole mixtape about Nicki Minaj, I would just buy the Pink Friday LP again.” Zing!

Check out the two covers: Left is Minaj's Pink Friday, right is Lil Kim's Black Friday.
