Jazmine C. Presents Throw Back Thursday: Lil Kim Ft. Sisqo "How Many Licks"

The song “How Many Licks?” is a song recorded by rapper Lil' Kim. The single is off of her second album The Notorious K.I.M. (2000). Her tasteful video visualizes her as a “my size Barbie.” Most people view Nicki Minaj as the first “Barbie” but The Queen B showed herself as 3 Barbie’s, Candy Kim, Pin- up Kim and Nightrider Kim. She was viewed by most men as a fantasy, which made her posters very popular. The 4’11, hardcore, Brooklyn girl is well- known for her sex appeal and vulgar lyrics. Fun fact: The title and lyrics come from the 1970 Tootsie Pops candy advertisement. The television slug line was "How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?" She refers to her private area as the candy.
