Kimnotyze
2002 single by DJ Tomekk
"Kimnotyze" is the lead single of Lil' Kim for record producer DJ Tomekk's second album Beat of Life Vol. 1. It was released in Switzerland, Austria and Germany only. The song was successful, becoming Lil' Kim's third consecutive Top 10 hit in Germany after her number 1 hit "Lady Marmalade" featuring Christina Aguilera, Mýa, Pink and Missy Elliott and her number 3 hit "In the Air Tonite" featuring Phil Collins. She is the only rapper to achieve this in Germany.
The song is mostly in English but also contains German lyrics, notably a rap by Trooper Da Don and Kim's recurring "Gib's mir richtig, ganz egal wo" (Give it to me right, no matter where). The song samples its instrumental beat from Mtume's "Juicy Fruit" and its chorus is a re-interpretation of the hit song "Hypnotize" by Notorious B.I.G. The song also features the title melody of the German version of Sesame Street transposed to minor scale.

Why this record matters
“Kimnotyze” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Kimnotyze, single and Tomekk provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 6, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q6410201. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
