Waka Flocka Calls For Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, & Remy Ma To Remix "Not Tonight"
Waka Flocka wants to hear a 2018 remix of classic all-female crew track, "Not Tonight (Ladies Night Remix)," and he's already got a lineup picked out. As Vibe points out, Waka shared photos of Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Lil Kim, and Remy Ma, tagging each of them, and writing, "For hip-hop!!! redo ladies night song..." If Waka's wish were to be granted, Kim would be the one artist returning to the song. The original appeared on her 1996 debut "Hard Core," with the remix appearing on the Nothing To Lose soundtrack, and adding the talents of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Da Brat, Missy Elliott and Angie Martinez. Though it's no longer a common practice, the remix also came with a new instrumental, flipping "Ladies' Night" by Kool & the Gang. On top of the large collection of artists involved, there were also cameos from Mary J. Blige, T-Boz, Queen Latifah, SWV, Xscape, Blaque, Changing Faces, Total, and Maia Campbell. The song hit No. 6 on the Hot 100. (hotnewhiphop)

Revisiting the "Female Rap Bible," Lil Kim's 'Hard Core'
Something peculiar happened this week during one of rap’s most bizarre: Lil’ Kim’s 1996 solo debut, Hard Core, magically scaled up the hip-hop charts of iTunes. Before her Beehive could catch their breath from the pure shock and amazement, it found its ways in the chart’s Top 100, eventually making the digital retailer’s all-genres’ list. So far—at the time of this article’s publication—the album regarded by many as “the Female Rap Bible,” officially peaked at No.6 on the hip-hop side and No.22 on the general.
There was even a brief database glitch where Hard Core temporarily ended up at No.1 on the hip-hop charts, as screenshots circulated on Twitter. Although a snafu of sorts, the moment served as a bit of symbolism: Never forget that the original Queen Bee’s introduction as a lone competitor and entity in the rap world will always reign supreme, no matter how much people try to rewrite that history.
