Black Friday was released by Lil Kim in early 2011 as a direct response to Nicki Minaj and a play on Minaj's album title Pink Friday. The track reignited discussion of their feud and circulated widely through blogs, forums and mixtape sites at the time. Years later, short excerpts continue to surface on soundboards and social edits, where the confrontational tone works out of context as a reaction. Its staying power comes from that clear rivalry and Lil Kim's reputation as a pioneering voice in rap.
