I agree! It was CLEAR there was alot of work but she looked stunning. I bought the album for the cover alone

whew it became an addiction. Then a man she was dealing with broke her already surged up nose, and the result was that infamous, botched dent because I guess it was the best the doctor could do to repair something that was already not in tact. Some bullet points..
According to the rapper: "Men have always told me I'm not pretty enough. Even the men I was dating. And I'd be like, 'Well, why are you with me, then?'" she sighed. "It's always been men putting me down, just like my dad."
In an interview with Newsweek in which the rapper spoke about her father and the tough childhood she had to live through, she revealed: "It was like I could do nothing right. Everything about me was wrong — my hair, my clothes, just me."
To this day, when someone tells Lil Kim she's cute, she can't see it. "I don't see it no matter what anybody says," the rapper revealed. Years of abuse have left her with a distorted self-image. These insecurities were drilled inside her mind from a very young age.
"A broken nose, black eyes, all that stuff." She revealed that whenever she would fix her nose, her boyfriend would hit her again, and then send her straight back to her self-loathing and insecurities. Apparently, she had to do several MRIs because "he beat me up so bad I couldn't even move."
Back at the turn of the century, Lil Kim revealed that she had felt insecure for as long as she could remember. According to the rapper, her boyfriends, despite telling her how much they cared for her, kept going behind her back with "European-looking" women.
"You know, the long-hair type," she added. Kim said she couldn't feel complete as just a "regular Black girl," and felt like no matter what she did, as long as she looked the way she looked, she would "never be good enough."
Its way deeper than just anti-Black. Tragic. She's still my Queen tho the FUCK?!
