Amen Trina! There is no doubt that Lil Kim will ever be respected and Loved in Hip-Hop. However, Nicki has turned a lot of heads out there and even if you don’t like it…you got to respect it. I agree with Trina on the fact that the ladies should use this interest in the beef between themselves and cash in on a tour or something! It takes a bigger woman to squash the beef… GET THAT MONEY GIRLS!

Last night, Tupac’s Dear Mama was inducted into the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress. His mother, Afeni Shakur, spoke on her son’s behalf:

I’m incredibly touched. It could have been any song, but I’m honored they chose ‘Dear Mama’ in particular. It is a song that spoke not just to me, but every mother that has been in that situation, and there have been millions of us. Tupac recognized our struggle, and he is still our hero.
