Nevertheless, Brooklyn's queen bee went into the studio and stepped out with the most focused record of her career, NAKED TRUTH. The court case inevitably gets prominent mention on the album, from the re-creation of the original event on the intro, to the creeping, menacing "Quiet" where she points her rapier wit at rivals and accusers, labeling them "softer than chinchillas." Although NAKED TRUTH deals with the tabloid drama, that never overwhelms this vibrant record. On the majestically catchy single "Lighters Up," she dispatches the trial in the first line before launching into a standard but wickedly clever assertion of her power, dissecting the rest of the rap universe. NAKED TRUTH also finds Kim at the pinnacle of her sensuality, in consummate control on tracks like the swaggering "I Know You See Me." While Lil' Kim has become larger than life, her MC skills are sharp enough that amidst the chaos, she emerges with one solid album.
