11 Hip-Hop Greats Who Deserve Biopics — and Who Should Be Cast in Lead Roles

Another Brooklyn-born-and-bred MC, Lil' Kim's sex-positive and pleasure-focused lyrics paved the way for woman rappers to be as raunchy in their lyrics as men.

Her contributions to hip-hop explain why her name is often brought up in the same conversations as the day's greatest women rappers, from Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion to Nicki Minaj (whether she likes it or not). There's no doubt Lil' Kim deserves a biopic of her own.
