Today is Day 4 of Black Music Month and I want to spotlight a song that I didn’t appreciate the voices on it until I got older.
Not Tonight by Lil Kim featuring Lisa ‘Lefteye’ Lopes, Da Brat, Angie Martinez, and Missy Elliott, is and will forever be a timeless classic. So much so it is very much appreciated in this day and age.
As I was listening to this song recently it dawned on me how much I didn’t appreciate this song when it first came out, although I was about 6 or 7 years old at the time. But there was nothing that can be said to me when Lefteye’s part came on because in that moment, I was her.
With that being said, I want to publicly show my appreciation for this song by spotlighting it today. It’s also the perfect song to kick off this weekend with your girls! Enjoy.
