Are the mixtape sales real? Lil Kim discusses rumors
The sales of Lil’ Kim’s mixtape Black Friday are a hot topic of conversation. The rap diva claims to have sold 113,000 copies of the $9.99 release via PayPal within 28 hours, but some have questioned the authenticity of those numbers. The Queen Bee stings back at the critics and Nicki Minaj in an exclusive interview with Rap-Up.com.
You tweeted that you sold 113,000 copies of Black Friday within 28 hours. Is that accurate?
Right now it could be more.
What do you say to those who question the authenticity of those figures?
At the end of the day, you’re always going to have your haters. We need the haters. There was actually a representative at PayPal who basically didn’t really confirm or deny it, but also [said] that they’re very happy and proud of the success of Lil’ Kim. I think numbers in other areas speak for themselves. I mean, why aren’t they questioning the Black Friday [video] being at 2.5 [million views] in less than 18 hours? Why aren’t they questioning that? What’s the difference? How can you add up one thing and not the other? I just feel like people pick and choose the area that they want to attack [laughs].
Do you know the current sales numbers?
No, I actually don’t know right now. I have a team that kinda checks up on all that. We’ll keep you posted.
Nicki Minaj laughed off your sales claims. Did you see that?
I heard about it. I didn’t see it actually for myself, but to be honest with you, homegirl is basically obsolete to me right now. She’s doing a lot of lame stuff. She’s so lame to me right now—she’s always been, but now really. At the end of the day, her sales can be questioned also. Not to say she didn’t have the build-up, but the only thing you kept hearing before her album dropped was nobody liked it, it was wack. Don’t get me wrong, she might have a couple songs that are OK, but who cares. The haters will be haters, that’s their job, and we need them.
Look for more from our conversation with Lil’ Kim tomorrow.

(New Music) Timbaland Ft. Lyrica Anderson - 'Mentally'
This is a smooth beat with Timbo singing in autotune. I dont know why but I am slightly getting a Danity Kane feel from Lyrica's vocals. All in all this track is so-so me (not great but not bad either) but you can listen to it and decide for yourself.

(New Music) Lupe Fiasco Ft. John Legend - 'Never Forget You'
Lupe releases this track on his 29th birthday off of his upcoming album "Lasers" (March 8th). The piano laced beat is fairly decent. Thr song opens up with John Legend singing over the piano and he then hands it off to Lupe who spits cool lyrics over the track. I like this track but Lupe needs to keep some type of glasses on his face.
Listen to 'Never Forget You' below:
(New Music Video) Lil Kim - 'Black Friday'
Ok, so I just watched the music video and Kim seems real bitter to me. I completely understand her reasoning but maybe, just maybe she should focus on her next ALBUM not her next mixtape or IRS or Nicki Minaj or Diddy or Drake. Lil Kim fans / stans you can hate me now but im just sayin...
