Nov 23, 2017I really have to explaim why I rate 10 on this LP? Here we have anthems like "Came Back For You" & "Magic Stick", and at the same time, Lil' Kim had the same excensse as her debut album, "Hard Core". Such an incredible album that deserves a lot of recognition.

Nov 3, 2017Um dos melhores álbuns do hip hop feminino. Esse é o hip hop em sua essência, sem batidas pops e letras melosas. Lil' Kim é uma ótima rapper e merece respeito.

Jul 25, 2017La Bella Mafia affirms Kim's briefly questionable status as a formidable female presence in a man's world and once again turns the often sexist mindset of rap on its head in the process. Thug Luv, Magic Stick, and Came Back for You are clear standouts.

Jun 14, 2015Amazing! Everybody just pay atention to hard core, which is very good as well, but La Bella Mafia brings out a new kind of Kim... She made the pavement for all the new female rappers!

Nov 12, 2013LOVED THIS ALBUM!!! She was independent on this project! She did all of it her own! and she delivered. this is one of those albums,, where if you lose it you'd go out and buy it again rather than download it online! Kim pis and always will be the queen of rap!

Aug 16, 2013My third favorite Lil' Kim album, but it's still good. The best songs are "Shake Ya Bum Bum" featuring Lil' Shanice and "Magic Stick" featuring 50 Cent.

Jan 8, 2012Kim Really Is The Queen B. Her Rhymes On This cd is amazing. The production is really great, it also comes with a stack of lyrical superpowers. She sounds more developed into a new style on this album. La Bella Mafia Is One Of The Top Albums Of 2003 Released.

sqDec 15, 2003as talented as she can be she continues to run off of biggies shadows, her foul mouth& constant dissing are repetitive, foxy is smashing her, reguardless to what the media says.

Q MagazineCatastrophically, she's given up her trademark fruity sex rhymes, which leaves just mundane braggadocio and an unhealthy obsession with her ex-lover, Notorious BIG. [May 2003, p.109]
-
UncutFoul-mouthed, egocentric rhymes and nondescript beats. [Jun 2003, p.91]
-
Beats-wise, 'La Bella Mafia' is easily the strongest thing she's done, and it seems like Kim has raised her rapping game to match the strength of the music.
