Think of the top women rappers of our time: Cardi B. Megan Thee
Stallion. Nicki Minaj. They all showcase a signature style that
involves multicolored wigs, skyscraping heels and designer logos on
everything. But that blend of high fashion, femininity and attitude
began before any of them, pioneered in the 1990s by the original
queen bee: Lil' Kim. Ahead of its time, Kim's ingenuity – and her
place in the fusion of fashion and hip-hop – has not always been
recognized. Host Brittany Luse and fashion journalist Scarlett
Newman make the case for why it's time Lil' Kim gets the credit she
deserves.
