Off the heels of her groundbreaking debut album, “Hard Core,” Lil’ Kim gathered an Avengers-style supporting cast of female rappers for 1997’s “Not Tonight” remix. Angie Martinez, Missy Elliott, Da Brat, and Left Eye not only joined the song, but they made it their own with their respective domineering verses. Together, they made the track sound and feel like more of a joint effort, where each artist was a star instead of a featured rapper. And who can forget the equally star-studded video? Queen Latifah, SWV, Xscape, and more made cameos throughout to remind viewers that this was a ladies’ night, indeed.
