Two pioneers in female rap were Lil’ Kim and Missy Elliott. Very far from the first women to pic up a mic, they changed the game and made it respect women as lyricists, too. It took close to two decades for the records they set to be broken, that says a lot.
When Lil’ Kim and Missy Elliott came out, they brought fresh, young, energy into the game. This energy has carried them for two years, as they are now considered legends. They are now older, however, and they are celebrating it.
Lil’ Kim was invited to Missy Elliott’s private birthday party and they both celebrated, as both have birthdays in July. No longer young, they do continue to bring youthful energy to the game still, and fans want them back, twenty years later. Yesterday, Lil’ Kim shared photos on her Instagram of her birthday celebration with Missy Elliott.
