As much as I appreciate and love the culture of hip-hop & rap of this generation, I don't appreciate the violent side of it which seems to attach itself. In watching the reality show shown on BET at time before her incarceration of the 14 days before her imprisonment--Kim struck me as someone of strength and a lot of love for others in her life. She is a professional and works hard at being "Lil Kim". I do hope her time away gave her the opportunity to look deep inside herself and analyze her life and where she needs to change and be about making those changes for the good of her future.
