Kim is not a happy camper.

Lil Kim stopped by Hot 97's Big Boy's Neighborhood and made it a priority not to bite her tongue about her portrayal in the Biggie Smalls biopic, Notorious. The biopic was produced by Diddy and Biggie's mother Voletta Wallace and chronicled the life and death of Brooklyn's King, Biggie Smalls.

Depending on who you speak to, you just might get mixed reviews. Some people loved it so much that it  made them cry, it inspired them, and made them proud; other's say that it was not in-depth enough to portray the life of Biggie. Ask Lil Kim what she thought and she'll tell you nay to everyone who loved the movie.

In the clip below, Kim goes into detail about how upset she was when she saw the movie, even going as far as to say that she couldn't sit through it; she speaks about her failed friendship with her once best bud Lil Cease; she calls Biggie's mother a "sick woman";and even talks about perhaps creating her very own "Lil Kim movie"....

OK, calling Biggies mother sick is very disrespectful, but we get it she's not too pleased with Ms. Wallace and her involvement with the film. It would be very interesting to see a Lil Kim movie in theaters. Personally, when I saw the movie I thought it was a  good biopic and was decent for the first ever biopic about a Hip Hop artist.

Granted, I felt there were a lot of things they left out of the movie, the film did shed light on events in Biggie's life I never even knew existed.

Naturi Naughton's portrayal of Kim might have been a little skewed because she never really sat down with Kim to get her half of the story. 

Lil Kim has every right to be upset and hopefully her discontent and disgust with the film can be turned into something positive like a movie or even a book; I'm all for Hip Hop artists delving into Hollywood films, wouldn't you go see it?
