%) VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE | Editorial Reviews : Now that Lil' Kim's third solo outing is upon us, it's fair time to pose this question: is this fly Brooklyn female a legitimate MC or just another media sensation? Well, probably a little of both. La Bella Mafia is a refreshingly uncommercial album that demonstrates Kim’s hard-earned mic skills, but the set never really hits its stride. Kim seems to be a woman who favors strong musical partners, yet many of the album’s collaborations fail to inspire. Swizz Beats is at his abysmal worst (as both rapper and producer) on 'This Is Who I Am' while Kim’s cookie-cutter rhymes blindly follow his lead. 'The Jump Off' features a hot, bhangra-accented Timbaland track that loses momentum when guest star Mr. Cheeks jumps in. But when it works, La Bella Mafia shines. Just check out 'Hold It Now,' where Havoc ratchets up the temperature with judicious use of the always-funky Beastie Boys sample 'Paul Revere' and Kim rises to the occasion with a performance worthy of her Queen Bee title. --Rebecca Levine
Buyer Reviews : Lil' Kim lit it up on this album. It's more street than Notorious KIM, but still don't seem to be better than Hardcore, but no doubt it's, BIG. On tracks like The Jump Off, Thug Luv, Came Back For You & Tha Beehive, u just gotta bump yo volume up. Then there's joints like Shake Ya Bum Bum, and This Is A Warning that's kind of dull but still tight at the same time. All in all, the 14 joints Kim got on here is gangsta. She made a good move gettin rid of Diddy. Even though i love Notorious KIM, it took a while for it to grow on me. I listened to this cd track after track, and was like ' A Kim is tight'. This Is A Warning, the beat on Came Back For You & Thug Luv is so gangsta u just wanna Jump Off your butt, and Shake Ya Bum Bum. Kim is Doing It Way Big Fo Sho'. Ya'll better make sho' La Bella Mafia go Multi-Platinum. Queen Bee Holdin' It Down, Reppin Bed-Stuy. Go support Lil Kim.
