They discuss Lil' Kim’s rise and how her explicit sexuality shifted representation and everyday behavior for women in and around the culture.Finally, they celebrate Rakim’s technical innovation—laid‑back delivery, internal rhymes, and poetic imagery—that elevated rap into a serious art form and influenced generations of MCs.
