Lil Kim’s First Post-Prison Performance
The gritty-mouthed MC is sliding comfortably back into the spotlight, as her performance will be the latest in a slew of public appearances since her emancipation. "MC Lyte is at the top of the list when you talk about hip hop pioneers," Lil' Kim said in an Associated Press release on Tuesday. “She’s one of today's greatest MCs. I'm honored to have the opportunity to show my respect and how she influenced me."
right The show will take place on October 7th – airing on television on the 17th – and will also honor hip hop legends such as Ice Cube, Wu-Tang Clan, Afrika Bambaataa, Russell Simmons, Rakim, Beastie Boys and the late Eazy E.
Stars of today who will pay homage to rap pioneers are Ludacris, OutKast, Diddy, Da Brat, Fat Joe and Lil Jon. Lil' Kim is set to perform MC Lyte’s hit, "Lyte as a Rock."
Kim was convicted in 2005 for lying to a federal grand jury during the subsequent trial about a gun battle in 2001 that erupted outside New York’s Hot 97 radio station. She was released from a federal detention center in Philadelphia on July 3, then spent 30 days on house arrest at her home in Alpine, N.J.
