"How Many Licks" is the second single from Kim's sophmore album 'Notorious K.I.M.'. The single was actually voted on by fans on Kim's official website and was released mid-August of 2000. Sisqo was featured on the song, but unfortunately due to label disagreements involving Def Soul, he was not allowed to appear in the video, so Kim had to go solo.
The premise of the video is quite unique, which is the main appeal to it. Kim is labelled as an anotomally correct and fully edible doll. We get see the production of different versions, including Candy Kim, Pin-Up Kim and Nightrider Kim.
This is possibly one of my favorite Kim videos, she actually put a lot of thought and effort into it. Each verse is done by a different Kim and she follows the storyline of the song very closely, which makes for an excellent viewing experience. Kim is quite possibly the hottest I have ever seen her in this video. The choreography is on point and the whole video has a cartoony feel, which matches the song perfectly. There is nothing I would change about this video.
I think it was a good choice for a video, and as I said before it was the fan's choice. Unfortunately, the video didn't do as well as hoped and faded fairly quickly, still allowing Kim to reach platinum status though.

Do you fuckin work for Atlantic or some shit? Why are you posting on this weak, wack, wangsta ass bitch? Dedicate this "blog" to someone who has done something legitimate for Hip Hop. lil kim does not represent true Hip Hop. True heads don't don plastic body parts and everchanging voices. "How Many Licks" further solidified kim's obssession with being White and playing off her ugly ass image. The lyrics to the song are even more stupid than the video. This was not groundbreaking as En Vogue had done a similar, more desirable "runway" scene. And seeing that in kim's ten years, she has only recorded 4 fucking albums is not saying much for the lazy, no skill having bitch.
Damn thats kinda harsh playa. Do you hate Kim that much?
But, I do agree with you though. I dont think Lil Kim deserves her own blog every freakin day, I mean damn! It was cool for the first couple of days, but come on! Every single day?!
I think its time for another topic. Besides, this blog only gets one or two posts anyway. Time to move on people!
Exactly, Lil Kim?
Please she has 5 mics from the wack ass source, but the album is weak! No classic lines, tons of Subliminal Lines, and who told her she sounds west indian?! Stick to what you do good,(lookin plastic for White America) Leave the chattin to Foxy Brown. She sounds better than kim any fuckin how! Now Foxy Is a B.K. Bytch. I thought she was doing O.K. on the La bella mafia until I heard she had ghostwriters. Lil Kim is not a Female that I would want repin my hood! besides if B.I.G. could see her now he won't fuck wit her!!!
I think the source only gave her 5 mics cuz she was going to jail. I am from brooklyn(FLATBUSH!!!!!!!!!) and i like the fact that she is repping brooklyn but the album is really a dissapointment.My dumb ass got it just because the source gave it 5 mics i shoulda knew better.Yes kim does have ghostwriters i found that out when one of her ghostwriters sued her for not paying them offa the la bella mafia album. I wish foxy would come back def jam doing her really wrong keep pushing her album!!!
**Pushing her album back
the source has loss so much credibility over the years, that any album rating from them isnt worth the paper its printed on! I knew the 5 mic rating was some bullshit! The album is far from a classic. I played it like twice and that was it.
Little Brother, "The Minstrel Show" Now thats a classic!
CAROLINA STAND UP!
You guys don't know what you're talking about. "The Naked Truth" is definitely a classic. Foxy Brown is just a wanna-be Lil' Kim, and doesn't even try to hide it. And if Kim wants to get plastic surgery it isn't because she wants to look more white, it's because she didn't like stuff about herself so she fixed it, y'all need to stop hating and do something better with your time.
FUCK FOXY!!! GET NAKED BITCHES!! LIL KIM IS THA ILLEST FEMALE ARTIST AND ALL HER ABLUMS IS HOT AS HELL...AND NO SHE DONT HAVE GHOSTWRITERS SO SUCK A DICK!! STOP HATIN AND GET A HOBBY
SHE DESERVE EVERY BLOG OR POST SHE GET LET IT BE EVERY ON HOUR ON THE DAM HOUR IF NEED BE
Ha Ha. Kim is the hottest female rapper out right now. Her album is number 6 on the charts and her video is all over MTV BET MTV2 and in the top six of every video market. So all of you haters keep hating. All publicity is good publicity. Keep commenting because the more you all keep talking the hotter she gets. most of you couldn't have made it through the drama she went through. Everybody loves Kim. The Naked truth is the hottest female rap album put out. Yes I have all Foxy's stuff and Foxy's hot too. In the end they are black women doing their thing. Stop that slave mentality of trying to divide each other. Some of you probabley just wanna be rich like her. Jealousy can drive you crazy so let it go. Find something more productive to do in your miserable hateful lives. If you didn't like Kim you wouldn't have been on her blog. All haters have some deep issues that they're not dealing with. Thats why the focus on hating on other people. Whatever. By the way Kim has a song for all of you. Its called shut up bitch!! (In case you missed it.) "You ain't pay her bills so you ain't sayin nothin!!!!! If you felt so strong about your comments you wouldn't be posting as anonymous. Go do some soul searching.
They werent ghost writers you fucking morons! They were writers that wrote lyrics for a chorus. They didnt write any rhymes. Get your shit straight before posting it. What the fuck you doing on this blog anyway? Shouldnt you be reppin on that bum bitch Foxy's blog? Now theres a ghost writing needing bitch. Come on now you cant fuck with the bee when it comes to skill.
Lil kim looks like shit and we all know it..On her album covered they airbrushed the bitch to death,Now i never seen a bitch that airbrushed she has broken the dam record!!!!
Whats fake On lil kim? Her tities..Her nose is fake(That shit gotta big ass dent on the side of it)...Her lips that she sucks madd dick with..Trust me i bet she has other body parts that she has gotten plastic surgery.
The album is garbage its not worth burning its like 2 or 3 songs on thiere thats good but thats it.And you know whats a dam shame that people "reconizing" her or whatever the hell you call it when she's about to go to jail smh.
BOTTOM LINE:THIS ALBUM IS NOT A CLASSIC...Now the The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill is a classic.
Lol ya'll haterz is worst than the press, lol you guys can hate all you want but we are still going to love this woman who got 5 mics that whack ass bitch foxy brown couldn't get with her big ass bird nose, fuckin bitch she should have kim ghostwrite for her talentless assless ass, Jackie-O put that raggidy bitch in the grave outside of BK! Brandon you prob mad because you can't afford to look as good as kim so punk bitch get a fuckin life along with that nameless asshole. Kimberly keep ya head up and forget these lil punk ass bitches who prob be pumpin your album anyways. Because BK is the home of Biggie and K, lol lol tell that dike bitch foxy to go throw her pussy like a boomarage, stupid bitch still trying to make it big, lol go back to american idol, foxy is a puppet, and she gotz ghostwritters up her butt, yeah yeah what? lol PUT YO LIGHTERZ UP BITCHES :)
WILDSTYLE_4@HOTMAIL.COM
The singled out bedstuy person, you need to hear Foxy Brown put to rest in Jackie-O's TKO track. Foxy and her whack ass throw back "BROOKLYNN" you deserve better than a bitch on prozac. U say kim has issues look at that "thing" foxy who does all this shit to get attention because she cannot get the publics attention, fuckin bitch needs to get some more prozac deaf bitch!!!!HA HA HA HA I heard she is taking sign language, that may be better than her trashy voice, "BROOKLYNN"!lol man I can't believe Foxy made a career of being a copycat, still trying to shyne of kim! Any of ya'll remember the whack song by fb? i think it was called my life from her Chyna Doll Album, were she sings about killing herself, and hiding her shit, and how hard her life is because she was sick of copying people but didn't have enough talent to do her own shit so she steals hooks from Lil Kim? I remember that. But Kim always squashed her in every album, made that fox run home with that tail and trail between her legs, lol HA HA HA. You know what you Foxy lovers go to her website and help her learn sign language, she should concider surgery, Why ya'll hating on kim? if it wasn't for her you wouldn't have a little poser foxy brown to worship. For awhile I felt bad for foxy because her albums were not good enough so they got shelved, but i heard a track and then I understood why she was put on the shelf, because we allready heard her running her mouth about dun shit. You know why foxy is losing her hearing because her mom is a crack whore and it cost that whack bitch to lose one of her scenses, maybe she will make an album about that, lol probably not. Ya'll hear about foxy writting a book about her almost life? Yeah guys it's a fiction, I know some day I hope she can do something on her own, or try to get 5 mics, but hey she aitn the queen so she aint the real brooklynn supreme, never dearly departed! Bottom line FOXY THE CLOWN NEEDS TO FIND HERSELF, IN HER NEW BOOK WHICH IS TITLED "BROKEN SILENCE," NOT SUPRISINGLY TITLED, SHE TALKS ABOUT A LIFE SHE WISHED SHE HAD, BUT NEVER DID BECAUSE SHE HAS LOW SELF ESTEEM THATS WHY SHE DOESN'T TAKE CARE OF HER APPERANCE, WHICH IS WHY SHE LOOKS LIKE A BONY MAN WITH TITS. Love ya'll and foxy brown fans some day ya'll come to your senses, and praise the queen with the real hip hop community! Much Luv.
Hears a lil dose of the truth, dont overdose now Foxy, you be known for taking shit to the heart!
Lil' Kim]
Don't be mad, I can't put this - money in a casket
I can't put these - cars in a box with the ashes
I can't take these diamonds with me when I die
I can't build that pretty white house in the sky
I know you wishin that you wrote this song
But these same words comin from you, would be a joke
You better off takin heed from your boy Jada
I know you, hate dyin - but you gon' die a hater
I got a vision, I think for the future baby pah
Y'all nearsighted, lotta y'all, can't see that far
Rocks like the street light - baby watch 'em glow
Red yellow and green - don't know whether to stop or go
I'm a chameleon, I got many styles of rhymes
Like a bottle of fine wine I just get better with time
From "Hardcore" to "Notorious" y'all studied my flow
And still..
Run Dem-
Who the fuck told bitches they can do what I do/ all a sudden yall bitches got accents too?
You know dis!!
yo why yall praisin one n puttin down the other? i think personally that both kim n foxy are the shit. they're both black womean makin they own money. so what if foxy album was shelved? that jus goes to show she wit the wrong label(s). if this is all you can talk about, then you are the real haters.
I'm going to sum up all the comments I've heard thus far. Yes to all you Foxy lovers out there, I like foxy too matter of fact I copped her album first before Lil Kim. We all know only because her album popped out first before kim. I wanted to see who was the most lyrical. Kim pushed her first ablum Hard Core back on purpose. Thanks Kim it was a real organism cause I couldn't bust with Foxy. Awwww and Yes I'm female strickly dickly though. If you all remember the cover of the source before either of their albums hit, take a look again. Look how Foxy looked and look how kim looked. Kim you could tell she had drive, sex appeal and you knew she was going to rep the way they both wanted to rep. Foxy on the other had look like she was just taking another picture. They both are in the business to sell sex keep it real and show the world we women can do it too like men but in our women hood which is suppose to be sexy, sassy and not giving a f@#%. The truth is Kim does it better than Foxy Period. From photo shoots, interviews, traveling, clothes, jewels, who she knows, how she speaks, walk, act, I could go on and on.....Looks, now wait looks is another issue. The only thing I wish she didn't do was change her face but she looks just as pretty. She was already beautiful but I'm not knockin Kim for getting plastic Surgery cause that's what she wanted to do. As far as her titi's their hers and she looks good in them. I'm not here to tell people what to do with their bodies. I like Lil kim for what she does best and that's rep for the hood. She took the Bid for people in her crew and like I know they were already slidin on a razor to an alcoholic river, she was trying to still hold the fam together and we all know how that goes. A lot of us got Fam on our own which we all had to learn the hard way that blood ain't no thicker than water. This will only make her stronger. We all know the code of the streets. no one had to snitch, the law already knew who did it, that's why she played the fifth. She had beef with foxy sure we all know that but she wasn't silly enough to pull the trigger and risk her fame and fortune for a dispute that wasn't necessary. She was already killin Foxy in dem pockets. Wanna be Gangsta's in her OLD crew had to try and do that for her. So since the law couldn't get at her the correct way they did grimey and decided to go to the people they knew who did it to get at her FOR NOT CONFESSING. They wanted her first cause they knew she was the leader of the pack. Like Gotti. I'm pretty sure she did not tell her entourage to shoot like I said before she didn't feel it was necessary. Now she could have said yeah my crew did it and if she did you people that's hatin would have called her a snitch. She kept them guys eatin lovely at that, how you gonna give away the hand that feeds you espicially if your the one who actually did it. Beats me. Anyway the album is hot she's Blazin. I'm glad she came out with this album to keep all you playa haters busy until the Queen returns. Foxy no hard feelings you good but you ain't the Queen, Sorry. I hope your surgery is a success I wish you and yours much love and I do hope you get better. By the way to people downing on you about your hearing, that's just ignorant and I wouldn't wish that on none of my people's. The people who dissed you because of it they wouldn't want that on anybody they love. Back to my Girl Keep ya head up and I want you to blow us all away when you return, the playa haters even further. Hugs and kisses Big MaMa$$$$$. (listening to QB right now)and every song is hot listen to the words and learn something very versatile not trying to be anything but herself an artist that brings everday shit to life!!!!!!!

Damn Why so much hate for the queen what have she done to you people that you would talk about her in such a way .She is a trooper for real. That is her body she can do whatever she wants look however she wants to look It don't take away from her talent the queen gets down no matter what You'll say. As far as the album stop frontin it is the bomb better then the massacre for real it deserve 5 mics so please stop the hating & if there is nothing nice to say stay away the queen don't need the hate just the love & support.SO GO OUT & BUY THE NAKED TRUTH IT IS THE REAL DEAL.
yooo kim is the hottest bitch in the game....i do not want to come over like all the other kim-lovers...but you gotta admit, she can fucking rhyme....and i just think she has made the wrong choice by puting out the single "put your lighters up". I would put out "whoa" or "spelling Bee" the 50 diss...he is a fake ass bitch anyhow...
greet ja from holland (yeah we follow up things her)
shit lil kim spooked that bitch foxy,foxy needs all da heavy hitters in da biz(diddy,jay-z)to help her make any kind noise.cause she can't just do it off of gp.ya understand,furthermore like i she said her self THEM HOES STUCK IN THE BACK/IMMA AHEAD OF DA LINE so people get over it till foxy do something better SHUT UP BITCH!
I agree with ya man!
it's really funny how people will write a fu***** 3page diss on this piece,and and will try to make since wit it.why would you do that now when she gave you all a record to dance to (shut bitch)?secondly,she's doing her thang.she had some negative energy around,but now i think that she's in process to really eliminate it all(junior mafia,diddy etc)and this is just the finale of it.and this is to the foxy lovers WHY IS THE BITCH STILL GOT THE CHINESE PEOPLE DOING HER NAILS ANYWAY? DON'T SHE GOT PAPER?
U stupid motherfuckers that promote ignorance and violence amongst blacks need to be punched in the face. Thats the reason bitches were left on top of rooftops in New Orleans for so long cause of nasty negative simplistic ass people like yourselves. Tear down one to promote the other, sounds dumb ass hell. Foxy's a great rapstress as well as Kim, Eve, Sole, Mia-X. So u broke ass bitches need to learn from the Biggie- Tupac tragedy and let bullshit go. Go find something to do bitches.
"JAY-Z AND FOXY BROWN IN THE STUDIO":
-JAY-Z:WARRUP FOX?
-FOXY:WHAT DID U SAY???
-JAY-Z:I SAY WASSUP?
-FOXY:OH WASSUP?I'M SORRY I COULDNT HEAR U I'M FUCKIN DEAF
-JAY-Z:EYO FOX U GOTTA FINISH UP THIS ALBUM!!
-FOXY:I WANT 2 BUT I'M BROOK AS FUCK AND I HAVENT PAID MY GHOSTRWITER YET.
-JAY-Z:SEE THATS HOW I KNOW THAT U A DUMB ASS BICH I MEAN LOOK AT LIL KIM YALL STARTED ABOUT THE SAME TIME BUT LOOK AT HER NOW SHE GOT ALOT SHIT POPPIN LIKE HER OWN CLOTHING LINE A TIGHT ASS CD OUT AND A REALITY SHOW COMMIN UP.AND U JUST SITTIN HERE FUCKED UP!!
-FOXY:I MEAN WHAT'S A DEAF AND BROOK ASS BICH 2 DO?? I TRY TO BE LIKE HER BUT I JUST COULDNT HANDLE HER GANGSTERNESS.
-JAY-Z:CAN U AT LEAST TRY WRINTING YOUR OWN SHIT.I WROTE TWO TRACK ALREADY AND U HAVENT PAID ME SHIT.DAMN SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY I SIGNED YOUR BROOK ASS!!
for those the dont think Naked Truth is a Classic you are a straight fucking hater and you dont got to be a Kim fan for that. Even Jay certified the damn album. NOT TO MENTIONED EVERY MAJOR DJ OUT THERE...WHAT EVERYBODY FRONTING, C'MON...THEY SPOKE THE MIDE ABOUT NOTORIOUS KIM (SAYING THE SHIT WASNT HER BEST) AND THEY SPEAKING THEY MIND NOW (SAYING ITS BETTER THAN HARDCORE) ...And get off the sources dick, they aint the only magazine that rated the ablum with max ratings, just about all of them did and the few that didnt she was only a half mark off. GET A FUCKING GRIP... And everybody got writers for hooks, in fact most producers write hooks. And people only compare fox to kim cus they both were set-up to accomplished the same goal, and kim is simply a better star at that.
and whats with this bullshit about plastic surgery aint hip-hop, man listen, the same shit thats top 10 on the rap charts people dont consider hip-hop. Face it hip-hop has envolved and blacks are making millions off it, be happy, either ride the wave of change or get caught beneath it.
And Lauryn Hills album wasnt consider a rap album...dumb ass. And yeah the fact she went to jail has "something" to do with it, but dont be dumb other rappers went to jail and still aint get no five mics...she got 4.5 last time, niggas knew it was coming and that was 2.5 years ago, way before this jail shit. if the album as wack as ya'll fucking haters claim, it wouldnt have debuted at no. 6 nor would she gotten the rating.
STOP HATING...GET YOUR FACTS STRIAGHT...AND STOP RIDING HER DICK THROUGH BARS...
THE BITCH IS A DECADE IN THE GAME...REIGNING FROM THE START...AND SHE AINT DO IT BY BEING THE WACK BITCH YALL CLAIM...GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DO...YOU AINT GOTTA LIKE IT BUT A REAL PERSON WOULD RESPECT IT.
AND FOR THE RECORD SHE AINT THE ONLY HIP HOP MOTHERFUCKER TO GET PLASTIC SURGERY...THE OTHER DUDES AND CHICKS HIDE IT. GETTING FACIALS AND SHIT AINT "HIP-HOP" NEITHER BUT MOTHERFUCKERS DO IT, FROM THE HARDEST TO THE SOFTEST.
For all tha hatin fuckin bitches who's dissen on kim fuck ya'll It aint even got to be like that cause kim worked hard all these years and made it succesfully becuz of it, I think kim deserves better than what she got cuz she is like an idol to many many people and yall that hate is juss jealous!!1111
U BITCHES NEED LIVES.....BOTH OF THOSE WOMEN ARE GREAT RAPSTRESSES......HATEFUL ASS BITCHES ALWAYS PROMOTING VIOLENCE...... THATS WHY PEOPLE HATE BLACK FOLKS CAUSE OF SIMPLE BITCHES LIKE YOU ALL
