Did BIG write all of Lil' Kim's "Hardcore"?

[claaa7]

i remember this album from years and years ago when i wasn't all that old and wasn't all that invested in lyricism as i didn't understand english all that good. know i know that BIG has written tracks like "Queen Bitch" and a few others on there, and just pressed this banger on YouTube



definitely 100% BIG and dope as hell... if this is the type of lyrics and beats displayed all throughout the album i really need to give this another spin. what's the verdict and are there any articles confirming how much of the Junior MAFIA / Lil' Kim album BIG wrote.

I actually dusted this shit off and listened to the cd this morning after coming across the Hardcore 2k14 tape - pretty fat album. Kim has always insisted that she wrote her own shit but you can see the heavy Biggie influence particularly on her early stuff.

[Punch]

Like Claa said we have evidence that at least Queen Bitch was written by BIG, so Kim isn't being completely honest. I Think it's reasonable to believe that he wrote a majority of her lyrics.

BIG has writing credits on every track IIRC

Classic album I think. It definitely think it shows off BIGs writing abilities and the production is great. I think BIG contributed a lot of lyrics to the JM album too.

Check out the track MAFIA Land in particular. I think the LP is a good companion piece to RTD.

Drugs was my favourite track from that album, I always include it in any Biggie playlists or compilations I make. This is a good album that wasn't really taken that seriously when it came out. The sheer quality of releases in '96 is mind blowing. It will always be my favourite year in hip hop

this is on Wikipedia though, i find Discogs to be a more credible source on these type of things and if they are to be believed C. Wallace has only one writing credit on the album and it's on "Fuck You" where he of course has a verse... so it seems they tried to hide the f[act. i know Lil' Kim has more recently said that BIG coached her A LOT back then.


(^ notice how Wallace isn't credited on this one if we are to believe Discogs. anyone have the actual CD or wax to go and check?)

incidentally whats the official ruling on whether pun wrote for fat joe?

[claaa7]

^ pretty sure Pun helped Fat Joe a lot with writing "Don Cartagena", Terror Squad album and probably the first "Jealous One's Envy" ... there's a huge difference between Joe's lyrics and flow between "Represent" (1993) and "J.O.E." (1995)

Allways looked at this LP as BIGS, pretty ill he got to wrote from a hardcore porn bitch perspective

Little Kim's Hardcore album is good and I love the album pictures. I guess Notorious Big probably wrote most of her lyrics and she doesn't wanna admit it. Then again maybe she did write most of her lyrics but Notorious Big probably told her what she should say. In Notorious movie, he definitely told her how to dress and how to make herself look sexy so she could sell records. In another scene in Notorious, she was rapping over Black Moon's Who Got Da Props song and he told her she should say sexy lyrics because black men don't wanna hear black women rappers talking about gangster stuff. She did what he said and he said I'm liking that. Naturi Naughton who played Little Kim in the movie is cute and she got a nice body. I also love Antonique Smith who played Faith Evans. Jamal Woolard did a good job playing Notorious Big and he kinda sounded like him.
