1. Stylist Misa Hylton and rapper Lil Kim first introduced the concept of hip hop fashion in Kim’s iconic “Crush on You” music video. Through the use of designer pieces, custom wigs, and iconic handmade outfits, these two women set the stage for rappers (both male and female) to take fashion seriously.

2. Fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons launched the global fashion brand Baby Phat in 1999. Baby Phat’s commercial success and undeniable cultural impact makes it the most recognizable “urban” fashion brand of the 2000’s.

3. Rihanna, a popular musician and business mogul, is often said to be one of the most fashionable celebrities in the world. Through the launch of her Fenty Puma Creepers in 2015, she provided a cultural reset, in which women’s streetwear was elevated to new heights. She also provided never before seen size inclusivity through her Savage x Fenty lingerie brand.

4. 1/2 of the rap duo City Girls, JT is Generation Z’s emerging fashion icon. By wearing brands she genuinely likes and resonates with, JT has been able to craft her own unique style and aesthetic. Arguably the most fashionable rapper in the music industry right now, JT’s style is bold and inspiring to a new generation that values authenticity.

Kimberly Denise Jones (July 11, 1974) known as Lil’ Kim, is a rapper. She was born and raised in New York City. She would freestyle rap, influenced by fellow female hip-hop artists like MC Lyte and the Lady of Rage. She was discovered by fellow rapper The Notorious B.I.G., who invited her to join his group Junior M.A.F.I.A.; their debut album, Conspiracy, generated two top 20 singles in the US and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Her debut studio album Hard Core (1996) was certified double platinum in March 2001. It has sold more than six million copies worldwide and spawned three successful singles: “No Time,” “Not Tonight (Ladies Night),” and “Crush on You.” Hard Core had the highest debut in the US for a female rap album at the time. Her following albums, The Notorious K.I.M. (2000) and La Bella Mafia (2003) were certified platinum. She reached #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 with the single “Lady Marmalade”. Other notable singles from this period include “The Jump Off” and “Magic Stick,” the latter of which reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her 2nd-highest-charting single as a lead artist.

She served a one-year prison sentence for lying to a jury about her friends’ involvement in a shooting. During her incarceration, her fourth album, The Naked Truth, was released to positive reviews from critics. A reality series covering her sentence, Lil’ Kim: Countdown to Lockdown, premiered on BET. She released her first mixtape, Ms. G.O.A.T. (2008), and appeared on Dancing with the Stars. She continued to release music and perform. Her fifth studio album, 9, was released in 2019.

She has been referred to as the “Queen of Rap,” as well as her alias “Queen Bee”. She has sold more than 15 million albums and 30 million singles worldwide. Her songs “No Time,” “Big Momma Thang,” and “Not Tonight (Ladies Night)” were each listed on Complex’s list of the 50 Best Rap Songs By Women. She was listed on VH1’s 100 Greatest Women in Music list at #45, the second-highest position for a solo female hip-hop artist. She has one daughter. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Paul Joseph Watson says pop culture is more vulgar in 2016 than at any other time in history, although he's British and in the 60's, 70's and 80's England had "Carry On" movies and "The Benny Hill Show" that was filled with a lot of smutty humor.

And if Paul thinks pop culture today is vulgar, look at the late 1990's and early 2000's: when "The Jerry Springer Show", "South Park", Tom Green, Marilyn Manson (who PJW praises in his video), "Jackass", Lil' Kim, Limp Bizkit, trashy talk shows like Ricki Lake and Jenny Jones, "Fear Factor", "The Man Show" and the World Wrestling Federation's Attitude era were at the zenith of their popularity, when Eminem was at his most lyrically shocking and when Howard Stern was still popular and relevant.

Hell, those pop culture things were considered vulgar in their time and are still considered vulgar today.

There was a lot of vulgar pop culture in the 90's.

Lina Reign

Lina Reign is a local R&B artist who's very inspired by the 90's and early 2000's. This photoshoot was inspired by Lil Kim's music video for Crush on You.

These photos were taken before I had any professional lighting, yet still remain as some of my favorites. I used one ring light in the middle of her living room and tried my best to make it look professional. I like to think that your equipment shouldn't limit you. If you're interested in photography, learning how to play with lighting is key. You don't need the $300-$1000 light, you can learn to work with what you have and still get quality results. ★

Lil' Kim as Diamond on Moesha S06E12 (2001)

[cyarskaren52]

Eve has always been a little different. The Philly native burst onto the scene in the late 90s as the only female in the Ruff Ryders camp, offering a feminine perspective that was both hard-edged and sultry. At the time, the most prominent women in Hip Hop were Lil Kim, who was hard-edged sex appeal, Foxy Brown, with her sleek and crafty sexuality, and Lauryn Hill, whose debut leaned heavily into soul music as she pontificated on love in its meany forms. When Eve dropped her double platinum debut in 1999, Let There Be Eve…Ruff Ryders’ First Lady, she was solidly in her own lane, falling into her “it-girl” demeanor with ease, backed up by cocky, round-the-way girl lyrics that complimented early Swizz Beatz production. 

But it was her Grammy-winning sophomore album, 2001’s Scorpion that pushed her to mainstream stardom when she reconnected with Dr. Dre and formed a friendship with Gwen Stefani that resulted in the mega-hit “Let Me Blow Your Mind.”  Throughout the years, Eve’s charisma has landed her a self-titled sitcom (Eve which ran for three season on UPN), movie roles, including The Barbershop franchise, a gig on daytime TV (she co-hosted The Talk on CBS for three years), and most recently, a starring role on ABC’s Queens. 

Quietly, she’s one of the most successful artists in Hip Hop, charting a career path similar to Common, Ice Cube, and Queen Latifah, and she continues to add to her legacy. These are her 25 dopest songs.

"RICH GIRL" GWEN STEFANI FEAT. EVE [BONUS SONG]

Our BONUS SONG pick is a celebrated classic guest spot! Eve linked back up with her buddy Gwen Stefani for Gwen's "Fiddler On the Roof" referencing hit. Eve and Gwen Stefani expanded on their connection with this dance-friendly single from Gwen's 2004 album Love. Angel. Music. Baby.

#25

"MAKE IT OUT THIS TOWN" FEAT. GABE SAPORTA

Eve makes an unexpected connection with the lead singer from Cobra Starship, Gabe Saporta, on the lead single from 2013’s Lip Lock. The song's world music vibes were an indication of the album’s eclectic direction. 

#24

"WHAT" FEAT. TRUTH HURTS

Eve and Dr. Dre reconnected when he produced “What” from her third solo album, Eve-Olution. Truth Hurts delivers breezy vocals on the hook, while Eve spits about how she’s stayed resilient, no matter what curve balls were thrown her way.

#23

"SHE BAD BAD"

After founding her own independent label, From The Rib, Eve dropped this standalone single. Produced by Jukebox, it's one of E-V-E's most underrated tunes and it was her first new single in five years.

"AS I GROW"

Eve is at her best when she’s being transparent, and she opens up on “As I Grow” from her third album, rapping about growing up and lessons learned as she navigates fame. 

#21

"GRIND OR DIE"

Reminiscent of the drums on Beyonce’s “Who Run The World (Girls),” Eve changes pace on “Grind Or Die,” veering in a new sonic direction while maintaining her signature style. 

#20

"GOT WHAT U NEED" EVE FEAT. DRAG-ON

Eve and Drag-On team up again on this club banger from Scorpion. It's one of those songs that seems ready-made for early 2000s dancefloor. Why this wasn't a single? Who knows. 

#19

"HEY Y'ALL" FEAT. SNOOP DOGG, NATE DOGG

Eve teams up with Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg hop on the laid-back offering from Eve-Olution. Snoop and Eve’s tag-team on the last verse is seamless, and it’s a standout on the album. 

#18

"GIVE IT TO YOU" FEAT. SEAN PAUL

Eve and Sean Paul get sexy and smooth on this slice of reggaeton. Eve's Here I am was delayed for years, but this was a single that deserved a lot better than it got at the time. 

#17

"GANGSTA BITCHES" FEAT. TRINA, DA BRAT

A posse cut featuring Trina and Da Brat from her sophomore album, Scorpion, the three flex their heavyweight rap status over Swizz Beatz production. 

#16

"DO THAT SHIT" RUFF RYDERS FEAT. EVE

Over pounding production from Swizz Beats, Eve shines again on “Do That Shit,” her second solo song from the Ruff Ryders’ Ryde or Die Vol. 1 Compilation. 

#15

"MANIAC"

Eve's debut album was a real showcase for both her and Swizz Beatz, and the beatmaker's distinct late-90s style is on full display here. This is a Ruff Ryders anthem tour-de-force, with a thumping hook and booming production. Arena rap. 

#14

EVE FEAT. MISS KITTY

Eleven years after Eve-Olution, Eve returned with her fourth album, Lip Lock. The production was more experimental than fans familiar with her Swizz Beatz/Dr. Dre run were accustomed to. But the project’s second single, “Eve,” was a standout — rough and sexy, and a call back to what made her so likeable in the first place.

#13

"HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS"

A standout from her debut, the melancholy “Heaven Only Knows,” was an early glimpse of Eve’s storytelling skills, as she talks about growing up and coming into adulthood amid adverse circumstances. 

#12

"DOUBLE R WHAT" FEAT. JADAKISS, STYLES P

Jadakiss and Styles P throw an assist on “Double R What,” which features thumping production that really comes to life as soon as the hook comes in, and the beat changes. Eve holds her own, throwing jabs  at Foxy Brown and Lil Kim, accusing them of not writing their own lyrics: “Climbin' up the walls with gimmicks, that shit is pitiful/Dawgs close by me, so why try me?/They wanna copy, but they too sloppy…” 

#11

"LET'S TALK ABOUT" FEAT. DRAG-ON

Eve and Drag-On linked up on “Let’s Talk About” to deliver what’s probably the best song on the album. The pair trade bars over production from Swizz Beats, with Eve showcasing her skills on the first verse: “Let's talk about who I am/Blond bee, find me in the hood with my peoples/Love y'all, hate the rest of y'all that I can see through…”

#10

"GANGSTA LOVIN'" FEAT. ALICIA KEYS

Featuring Alicia Keys crooning an interpolation of Yarbough and People’s 80s hit “Don’t Stop the Music,” Eve gets sexy while maintaining her it-girl status on the lead single from her 2002 album, Eve-Olution. The mid-tempo jam captures the R&B vibes producers Irv Gotti and Channel 7 were known for with their own artists Ja Rule and Ashanti. 

#9

"RELOAD" FEAT. KONSHENS

Eve returned after a lengthy hiatus in 2019 with a “Reload” featuring Konshens, a dancehall-inspired jam that properly announced her return, even if it flew under the radar. 

#8

"TAMBOURINE"

Another song that's ready-made for TikTok, this Swizz Beatz-produced single flips The Soul Searchers and gave Eve one of her slinkiest party songs. And the video remains one of Eve's most eye-catchingly vivid. 

#7

"GOT IT ALL" RUFF RYDERS FEAT. EVE, JADAKISS

Who can resist a good steel drum? The Ruff Ryders compilations always have heat. And on Vol. 2, Eve and Jadakiss showcase their note-perfect chemistry on this age-old "battle of the sexes" duet. 

#6

"GOTTA MAN"

A singalong single from her debut, Let There Be Eve… “Gotta Man” is Eve rapping about her loyalty to her man over Swizz Beatz production. 

#5

"WHO'S THAT GIRL?"

The single from Eve’s sophomore album, Scorpion, is one of her most memorable, mostly due to the catchy hook. She’s clearing up any confusion about who she is as a woman and what she brings to the table artistically, carving out space to shine completely on her own. 

#4

"LOVE IS BLIND"

Eve puts aside her braggadocios rhymes to weave an emotional tale about domestic violence on “Love Is Blind,” from her 1999 debut, Let There Be Eve… Ruff Ryders First Lady. She wrote the song about a real-life situation her best friend endured, and thankfully survived, making it that much more personal and affecting. 

#3

"SATISFACTION"

The second single from Eve-Olution, “Satisfaction” is one of Eve’s best, as she lands in her sweet spot, relaying how dope she is over a laid-back beat produced by Dr. Dre, and accented with a catchy, mellow hook. 

#2

"WHAT Y'ALL WANT" RUFF RYDERS FEAT. EVE, NOKIO

Eve’s first single from the Ruff Ryders’ Ryde or Die Vol. 1 Compilation, “What Y’all Want,” was a solid introduction to what she brought to the camp — style, swagger, and sexy energy. Beyond her status as the only woman in the camp, her melodic flow helped her stand out, and assisted in pushing the compilation to platinum status. 

#1

"LET ME BLOW YA MIND" FEAT. GWEN STEFANI

In 2001, Eve delivered the standout jam, “Let Me Blow Your Mind.” The song was a perfect culmination of everything that was hot at that time — Dr. Dre and Scott Storch on production and one of the biggest pop stars in the world, Gwen Stefani, on the hook. Eve is in top form, on the career-defining track, delivering confident lyrics that solidified her place as one of the brightest stars in Hip-Hop.
