It’s a mission statement that Nicki has picked up admirably – and, as such, she is arguably the Lil Kim of 2018. ‘Hardcore’ is so brilliant because it sees Kim, sick of male rappers drooling over women in their lyrics, decide to out-filth them at every turn. Yes, she shouts out Biggie, not Kim, but he co-authored ‘Hardcore’ (which is surely in top five hip-hop albums ever) and, given the subject matter, Nicki’s track more closely resembles Kim’s ‘Dreams’ than his version. We need to bring everybody in and we need to show everybody love.”įor her part, it seems Nicki has waved the white flag with ‘Barbie Dreams’. Speaking on the American radio station Real 92.3, Kim said: “God bless, I wish her the best… If we gonna mention one female, we need to mention them all. On and on it went, until recently they cooled the argument. When the pair met shortly afterwards, Nicki claimed Kim threatened “to snatch her larynx out”. Kim and Nicki have been feuding since 2007, when it was alleged that the cover for Nicki’s mixtape ‘Playtime Is Over’ lifted from the artwork from ‘Hardcore’. On Barbie Dreams, Nicki pays homage to The Notorious B.I.G., delivering her take on his classic 1994 track Just Playing (Dreams).
The album contains ‘Dreams’, a track that uses a similar riff to Biggie’s and sees Kim catalogue all the R&B musicians and rappers she’d like to have her way with ( “What the deal on that Prince cat? / He be lookin’ kind of fruity / But he can still eat the booty”). Two years after the release of ‘Just Playing (Dreams)’, Lil Kim put out her debut album ‘Hardcore’, which was executive produced by Notorious B.I.G, with whom she was in a relationship. On his version, Biggie documents all the female R&B singers he’d like to, erm, romance.
At the start of ‘Barbie Dreams’, Nicki purrs, ‘RIP to B.I.G classic shit,” referring to the 1994 Notorious B.I.G track ‘Just Playing (Dreams)’, which uses the same guitar refrain and those same lyrics, “ Just playin’, but I’m sayin'”. I love the controversial track because of the place it assumes in hip-hop history, and the classy way it finally lays Nicki’s beef with Lil Kim to rest. Everyone is saying how disrespectful ‘Barbie Dreams’ is, and that’s why I fucking love it.” I said things about people who I know can take a joke and won’t be emotional about it. Reading the reactions to ‘Barbie Dreams’ is fucking hilarious. Given the heat the track received, Nicki was moved to explain ‘Barbie Dreams’ on her Beats 1 radio show. “You guys know ‘Barbie Dreams’ is not a diss, right?,” she said. This version of the song features multiples verses in addition to the main chorus and a bridge.

Along the way, she also lacerates DJ Khaled ( “Had to cancel DJ Khaled, boy, we ain’t speakin’ / Ain’t no fat n-a tellin’ me what he ain’t eatin'”), Fetty Wap and ex-boyfriend Meek Mill.
