Rappers rap for a reason. They can't sing. Lil' Kim accompanied Cyndi Lauper on stage in a duet last weekend in NY. They sang Time After Time a classic Lauper song, or should I say Lauper sang.
Cyndi looked youthful and the song was great until Lil' Kim opened her mouth. It leaves you to wonder, is this why rappers rap? If they could sing, would they just forget about rapping completely? Making things worse, Lauper and Lil' Kim added some rap to the tune for the sake of praising their concerts benefactor, birthday boy Nelson Mandela. Lauper rapped better than Lil Kim as well.
