Lil Kim Hosts Release Party Rapper's Mixtape, However, Is Yet-To-Be Released

Lil Kim held a big soiree in New York City last night (March 13) at Webster Hall. The Queen Bee stepped out in full cowgirl gear for her "Black Friday" release party. Which brings to mind a handful of pressing questions:

Question #1:
When did artists start having release parties for mixtapes?
Question #2:
Why would you have a release party for a mixtape that was 'released' a month ago?
Question #3:
Has anyone even gotten their copy of "Black Friday" yet?

It all seems kinda weird--but not as weird as that hairdo and outfit. Doesn't seem like a lot of A-listers were in attendance, either. Kim is embarrassing herself with this "Black Friday" nonsense.

Is anyone keeping score on Lil Kim vs. Nicki? Cuz it seems like Nicki is winning.

Lil Kim Addresses Mixtape Delays

For all of the barking Lil Kim has done, you would think she would have a little bit better system in place. The rap star has yet to deliver the "Black Friday" mixtape to her fans, and claims that the delay is due to packaging. Appearing on Ustream for the first time, Kim thanked the fans for supporting her and said the mixtape, which was made available to order on February 14--over two weeks ago, is on the way.

“I know there’s [been] a delay with the mixtape, but it’s gonna be well worth the wait so just know I love you and everything I do I always make sure that it’s extra special no matter how long it takes…Hit me up when you got the mixtape,” Lil Kim explained.

“Packing orders all night for you guys,” Lil Kim tweeted last night (March 3.)

Isn't this 2011, can't people get music at the click of a button? So why is 'mailing' and 'packaging' even an issue? Post that joint on some paid downloads site and let the people hear it, Kim.
