Lil Kim's Pre-Lock Up Documentary a Hit

Wednesday, March 15, 2006
By: Michael Ivey


Kanye WestThe premiere last Thursday of Lil Kim: Countdown to Lockdown garnered over 1 million viewers, making it the most watched series debut in BET history. BET President of Entertainment Reginald Hudlin expressed great pleasure at having his first series become a "must see."

"As powerful as the first episode is, the series finale is even better," said Hudlin. According to Atlantic Records sources Countdown to Lockdown is the #1 original series among African American households so far this year.

"I'm grateful to Edmonds Entertainment for delivering another great show for the network, and to the entire team at BET for fantastic work in every department," said Hudlin. Countdown to Lockdown chronicles Brooklyn rap star Lil Kim’s final fourteen days of freedom before she begins a 366 day stint in federal prison on perjury charges.

Edmonds Entertainment and Kim’s own Queen Bee Entertainment shot six episodes of Christopher "Biggie" Wallace’s protégé juggling personal affairs, promoting a new album, shooting videos and partying. The show airs on BET each Thursday at 9:30PM. Lil Kim was sentenced to a year and a day in a Pennsylvania prison for lying to a grand jury about her friend’s involvement in a 2001 shooting outside New York’s Hot 97 radio station.

Well the saying is true indeed controversy sells. Now i wish bet rebirths the nightly news casting that they once had because it was real weak of them to take a news cast off such a popular station. Not only did they remove but they put re-runs in it's place,now that was uncalled for..

Bet is such a disgrace as a black-owned television network. Since when are all these ex-cons and drug users and criminals and degenerates getting thier own tv shows. This has got to end. Then you ask why the world is the way it is. Look at our so-called educated corperations. It''s feed ing us poison on a slow basis. Where it's un-noticed but taking effect. Open up your eyes people... This is not good for anyone. Not even kim herself. She should just repent on her wrong doings with the lord and change her life. Starting with removing those dumb ass balloons out of her god given natural breast. Peace.

I actually watched this show, and turned it off after five minutes. They make lil' kim (who looks like a plastic surgery reject btw) look like a heroine for lying in front of a grand jury and then going to jail for it. Seriously, what the F*ck? but then again, what else could you expect from black extortion televison? as much as i would like to say something positive, i would really just like bet to go off the air, becuase they are doing more harm than good.

Thank god people in here are saying the truth. Bet puts on alot of garbarge. For a good yr and change bet was the music video channel-all they showed was videos(the same videos all day long) college hill is so wack-its jus a colored version of the real werld- ive sat to seriously and try to watch college hill and ive learned nothing-all i saw was yung and wild people talking and doing stupidness-nothing is goin to be learned watching this show- to be honest i dont care to see lil kims journey to jail-cuz 1 she aint no criminal 2 she lied to the feds-so of course they was goin punish her 3 she aint doin no real time. I think her people put that martha stewart buzz in her ear-look how big she became after her prison stay-but kim aint martha-martha is white-and if u white in america u alright. I think bet should bring back tavis smiley and bet news-and put in lving color and jamiee foxx on another time slot.

Bet is desperately trying to be like mtv - an its just not working... However them picking up "in living color" and "the jamie foxx show" was a good move... But its just a video channel... Nothing more and nothing less... Bet is what's wrong with the black community... I like mtv cuz its more diverse and more entertaining... Goddynasty dot com check out my music

Mtv ain't sh*t....they show gay shows...what the fvck is that to show kids....dudes kissin dudes and girls kissin girls...you think that sh!t right? that nexted show is a disgrace!!! mtv is a disgrace!!!
Posted by shortybeebop380
I actually agree with you shorty!they're going to far these days with that.i mean to each its own but keep that off t.v. But, mtv also has shows that talk about being black in america and, whats going on in africa etc.you rarely see sht like that on bet.
Posted by mrblue
I agree with everyone that has posted so far....yall are on the money...for once i aint got nothin' to add.
Posted by Kalliope4eva
I have to agree with shortybee and mrblue about that mtv sh*t, way outta F*ck*n' control wit that sh*t....as for this show, i haven't watched a episode of it, i think they may be a little confused or F*ck*n' twisted in the head, cause' watchin' somebody stressin' out about goin' to prison is not entertainment to me.....

Seen!!!!! the homo(mtv) and celeb(vh1) netwerks do have bogus programs at times wit men kissin, however they do put on better rap specials & shows and even promote african history awareness.(i mean its the man netwerk-and all truth may not be present-but hey..... At least its there. Bet have nothing thats entertainin or informative-they air programs that stifles the intelligence of the young negro. In fact there was an article on how they wouldnt play little brothers-video im loving-giving the reason that the song is too intelligent for its viewers-if that aint a slap in the face for the feild N*gg*rs from the house N*gg*rs.wake up lil niglets!!!!

That shyt was wack

The fcc done let so much fly-- that its goin to be hard to curb wut programs can be censored and what cant. Theres entirely too much sex on t.v---- if i have to see another gay, lesbian, or bi sexual love seen - i think ima destroy my F*ck*ng tv.-----i must admit be-bop was on point! he said something bout mtv that needed to be addressed!the homo sh*t is too much-and it seems to me like the homosexual agenda is being forced down the throats of america(no pun intended).

I watched it, and i got the feeling that she has the wrong ppl around her. Or is that what whomever edited it wanted us to see. But she had her cousin as a personal assistant (acting like she was the star and needed to be pampered too btw), but kimmy looked like she had a bunch of wanna bee stars in her circle. Thats one reason i gotta respect tha' boy dame for putting his personal assistants in their place on his show (or thats what the person who edited it wanted us to see), man your not gonna be a star on my clock. Shes the star and she had some off brand bell pepper head ( big and hollow with nothin but seeds in it) cats runnin off their mouths.

Lol werd! her cousin looks like an egotistical Bia'ch-vanity driven and str8 ghetto bird.

Lmao@cense "down the throats of america.....lol....." that sh*t made me laugh......my question is what's the value, what's the substance, what's the message that this show's sappose to be delivering to the young black youth, i'm just so confused as too what the show is doing for anybody??????
Posted by Spiltmilk
Ofcourse that sh*t is going to be a hit. B.e.t promoted the hell out of that sh*t. It almost made me throwup on the t.v set. It was a real turn off.

I agree with what everybody said as well. Lol...cense 251...you took the words right out of my mouth with kims cousin. Finally, the only reason i watch college hill is because im a virginia state graduate.
Posted by CEmejuru
Well spilt- i guess the moral is...-protect ya friends=get a record-go to jail for a crime you didnt commit.-and then u'll become a hood celeb. As for cemejuru you go to virgina state-so do u kno or kno of any of the fine feather birds on the show?
Posted by cense251
Lol well jeru it had to be said- kalliope inspired my comment with his post.
Posted by cense251
I dont know one of them but ive seen them around.unfortunately its the dude ronnie ( the boy tatted up). He went to my ex-girlfriends private high school about 4 years ago. If you see what this dude wrote in his year book during his senior year, you d think he would be different then what he portrays on t.v. Anyway, its all for entertainment. But, i wish i knew that audrinna chick(girl that looks like alicia keys). Shes too cute.
Posted by CEmejuru
Yea werd sun-shes peace] that chick wit the blonde streaks look like a wild freak] the type ur twist out in a stair case-and send her back to the house walking funny lmao.... And oh sun does look like a goof ball lol.

Lol yup......
Posted by cense251
Watched the first episode last night.....i don't wanna just sit here and trash it...but damn that sh*t was terrible, the cousin well y'all know....
Posted by Spiltmilk
Dawg...that show is hilarious bruh....like the part when she was saying she dont like the angle the director did of her in the video..lmao...im thinking to myself...she cut herself all over her body, boobs, lips,nose, and a ton of make up....and shes talking about a angle? then she said the videos that i looked good was her first few....im like wtf, those are the ones the hood loves too, because she looked like a real cute broad....now she looks like a dayem crossdresser...like a scare crow or something....she messed herself up major. Lizard or something....she looks like when i used to help my dudes in art class draw, they would have the eyes all wrong so i would erase em, and then the ears, lips and draw em for em....yeah they parts i fixed looked good but it would end up looking like mr. Potato head. Now if she has a seed ppl are gonna be like "kim this kid dont look like you" i wonder why.
Posted by Kalliope4eva
True kalliopa...she looks like one of those people who you know had plastic surgery. When you see her...you dont think shes more beautiful...your thinkin...yeah...another Bia'ch who got plastic surgery.
Posted by CEmejuru

Much love to kim i love her music i love the show i think people over blew the whole concept of what its showing are youth and sh*t like that. U know what this show showed are youth people? it showed them that there is a price to pay when you F*ck up. I think that if this show didnt make kids think twice about living a life behind bars then there is something totally wrong with there brains. People you got to quit blameing others for your failure as a parant. This show did not in any way tell kids its cool to lie, cool to go to jail are any of that beef. Again calli has much love for you kim and you look gorgeous girl dont let these haters bag on you to much they mad cause they cant do what you do, put your lighters up!!!!!
