Less unlikely than it sounds:
Had to choose between 'La Belle Mafia' and 'Feels Like Home' yesterday.
I picked th' Kim without much thought; what side of that divide would you stand on?

Also: should I bother with 'Feels Like Home' at all?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 12:43 (twenty years ago) link

come ON. lil kim.

This is a musical choice right? if so then Obv Kim. If this aint a musical matter, I be having them both.

On that note, Norah strikes me as curiously repressed, like if you did the right amount of tweaking and freaking, she'd match Kim's Sprite bottle and see her a keg.

― peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 14:23 (twenty years ago) link

dude skinny and white is totally what kim's looking for

She's 5'3 or something! You ilxors break too easily, I guess.

Sunrise > The Jumpoff

also, I've read NJ interviews where she comes off as normal and has a raunchy sense of humor

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 14:41 (twenty years ago) link

Lil' Kim is 4'10".

I can see why ILMers would reflexively hate on Norah Jones but that doesn't mean I agree with them.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 14:53 (twenty years ago) link

she's talented, she's a fox, she's smart and she's a she - i can definitely see why some ilxors would reflexively hate on norah jones.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 14:56 (twenty years ago) link

she's my third fave talent show girl at best though - behind alicia keys and mya. mmmm behind alicia keys and mya.

talent show girls: s/d

Hard to read about Norah when you shorten it to "NJ"- I read your post as "I guess I would rather have sex with New Jersey".
Oh well, my bad.

there's a "Debbie Does Dallas"-esque joke to be made here.

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 16:33 (twenty years ago) link

Well wasn't it rumored for a while that Lil Kim once drank 32oz of semen? That has to count for something...

― Bryan Moore (Bryan Moore), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:02 (twenty years ago) link

no it was actually Sprite.

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:11 (twenty years ago) link

32oz of Sprite? Ewww.

― briania (briania), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:16 (twenty years ago) link

I know, she's disgusting.

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:32 (twenty years ago) link

All of which leads to: La Belle Mafia is bad as a motherfucker. It's a really good album.
Now, I still want to know, should I bother with the new Norah Jones? I feel like I've already heard it and I know I haven't...

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 04:39 (twenty years ago) link

although I'm listening to the Kim now and the cover of the R. Kelly track, "A Woman's Threat" is LAUGHABLY bad. She's incredibly offkey. Who the hell let her release that?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 05:09 (twenty years ago) link

"A white dude his name was John
He had a Queen Bee Rules tattoo on his arm,
He asked me if I'd be his date for the prom
And he'd buy me a horse, a Porsche and a farm"

i.e. skinny white dudes are fine with kim so long as they got cheese.

Kim rules always and forever.

IF YOU READING THIS, KIM, HOLLER AT YOUR DAWG, LETS HOOK UP IF YOU EVER PASS THROUGH SINGAPORE. HATAZ STEP OFF. NORAH SLEEPS WITH JELLYFISHES.

you people seriously like Lil Kim? what is wrong with the world?

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 06:59 (twenty years ago) link

nineteen years pass...

godlike beat attached to nebulous name fabian hamilton. would love to do a sample/interpolation chain breakdown of "bumpy's lament" and how it's lead to some of the dreamiest beats oat.
