“You have money, right?”

Halloooooo it’s been a bit since I’ve done a fully rendered thing.

I spent a good while on this one and I’m neutral to the outcome. There’s something that feels a little off with it, but it’s alright. Also this is a screenshot redraw of that one scene in into the spider verse because LOTD McQueen gives me BIG Peter B. Parker vibes.

This is a drawing of @x-eightball’s AU (look on the Darkside) where Dooley was gone for 10 years rather than one. He gets fired from TLPD and has to go around basically doing freelance paranormal investigator stuff. Go check it out, it’s really cool and angsty and stuff. :)

Below is a version without all the fancy filters and stuff cause there’s a ton of references in the back ground :)))

I’ll go with C567EFGH with D as the “buns”! Why not? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Queen of the K-Wang Reigns Supreme 20 Years Later

From her early Florida roots to her global fanbase, Khia, the firebrand rapper and self-proclaimed “Queen of the South,” is celebrating two decades of reign with the re-release of her iconic debut album, “Thug Misses.” Back in 2002, this Southern spitter dropped an atomic bomb on the music scene with her raw lyricism, unapologetic sexuality, and streetwise swagger. Remember “My Neck, My Back (Lick It)?” Yeah, that was Khia, the track that sent shockwaves through radio stations and dance floors alike, forever etching her name in hip-hop history.

But “Thug Misses” wasn't a one-hit wonder. It was a lyrical buffet overflowing with anthems like “The K-Wang,” a celebration of female pleasure that redefined the conversation about women's ownership of their bodies in hip-hop. Tracks like “Don't Trust” and “Jealous Girls” solidified Khia's street cred, proving she could spit venom with the best of them while staying true to her Southern roots. 

Now, two decades later, “Thug Misses” is getting a royal makeover. Khia is blessing fans with fresh visuals and electrifying remixes, breathing new life into these timeless classics. It's a testament to the enduring power of her music, which transcended trends and resonated with a generation of women hungry for unapologetic self-expression.

Khia's influence stretches far beyond catchy hooks and chart-topping singles. She paved the way for a new wave of female rappers who weren't afraid to own their sexuality and challenge the male-dominated norms of hip-hop. From Nicki Minaj to Cardi B, the echoes of Khia's lyrical fire can be heard in the verses of today's hottest stars.

In 2002, Khia, a sassy Southern firecracker from Tampa Bay, unleashed her debut album “Thug Misses” on the world. A potent cocktail of dirty rap, Southern hip hop, and hardcore rhymes, the album exploded onto the scene with unapologetic lyrics, infectious beats, and a raw authenticity that resonated with audiences hungry for something different. But beyond the surface swagger, “Thug Misses” was an album brimming with depth, tackling themes of female empowerment, street life, and the complexities of relationships. Twenty years on, Khia isn't just revisiting her past; she's reclaiming it, reimagining it, and using it to pave the way for a new generation of female rebels. “Thug Misses 20 Year Anniversary” isn't just an album; it's a declaration. 

Her cultural impact is undeniable. From the sultry, self-assured “Thug Miss” to the brash, unapologetic “My Neck, My Back (Lick It),” Khia's music has been a sonic middle finger to double standards and a celebration of female agency. She's embraced the Southern crunk sound, experimented with pop melodies, and even dabbled in reggae, constantly pushing boundaries while staying true to her raw, unfiltered voice. Let's dive into some of the standout tracks that cemented Khia's status as a force to be reckoned with.

Khia's Own “K-Wang”: Forget the Macarena, make way for the K-Wang!! This playful, confident anthem celebrates the self-made dance craze Khia birthed in the Tampa club scene. The track pulsates with a bouncy beat, punctuated by Khia's sassy rhymes and infectious laughter. It's a celebration of owning your moves, your space, and your fun – a testament to Khia's unapologetic self-expression.

Don't Trust the Charm: Beneath the swagger, Khia packs a punch with cautionary tales like “Don't Trust.” Featuring fellow Tampa rapper DSD, the song warns women against the seductive yet deceptive charms of manipulative men. The lyrics are raw and unflinching, detailing the emotional and physical scars left by betrayal. “Don't Trust” became an anthem for women (and men) seeking strength and wisdom in the face of deceit, proving that Khia wasn't afraid to tackle tough topics.

“My Neck, My Back (Lick It)” The Song That Launched a Career: It's impossible to talk about “Thug Misses” without mentioning the elephant (or rather, the neck) in the room. “My Neck, My Back (Lick It)” became Khia's signature tune, a catchy, explicit ode to pleasure that ignited controversy and propelled her into the mainstream. Written in a mere 15 minutes, the song's boldness and unapologetic embrace of female sexuality sparked conversations, divided critics, and ultimately became a cultural phenomenon. Whether loved or loathed, “My Neck, My Back” cemented Khia's status as a provocateur and a voice for unapologetic female desire.

Jealous Girls Ain't Got No Time: But Khia wasn't just about sex and sass. “Jealous Girls” is a defiant track that takes aim at the haters and critics who tried to bring her down. Over a fierce, pulsating beat, Khia spits fire, celebrating her own success and loyalty to her friends and fans. The song is a testament to her resilience and self-confidence, a reminder that she wasn't afraid to stand her ground and own her space.

“Thug Misses” was more than just a debut album; it was a cultural moment. Khia's raw talent, unapologetic lyrics, and catchy beats carved a space for a new kind of female rapper – one who wasn't afraid to be bold, brash, and brutally honest. With each standout track, she challenged expectations, sparked conversations, and proved that Southern hip hop had a fierce new voice. Let Khia's “Thug Misses” remind you that sometimes, the most powerful music comes from the most unexpected places.

But beyond the music, Khia's visuals are a statement. In a world where female rappers are often forced into cookie-cutter molds, Khia stands tall, refusing to be tamed. Her videos are a riot of individuality, a celebration of her Southern roots, her love for independence, and her unwavering confidence in her own skin. They're a middle finger to anyone who tries to box her in, a reminder that Khia is, and always has been, the definition of “on her own terms.”

Back with her latest record “Body” the seasoned veteran makes another steppers anthem to keep you moving all throughout the night, but infuses her signature sound into the mix making. A true treat for those who’ve stuck around for the long and bumpy ride to look forward to more music beyond the horizon.

So, raise a glass (or a spiked seltzer, as Khia might prefer) to the Queen of the K-Wang. Twenty years on, “Thug Misses” is still a sonic masterpiece, a reminder that Khia's presence is far from over. A testament to the lyrical legacy she continues to build, one fiery verse at a time.

Khia, one of the undisputed “Queens of the South,” isn't one to rest on her laurels. Twenty years after the audacious, expletive-laced firecracker that was her debut album, Thug Misses, she's back, not with a greatest hits package, but with a full-blown sonic and visual reinvention. “Thug Misses 20 Year Anniversary” isn't just a remastered trip down memory lane; it's a vibrant celebration of Khia's enduring legacy, introducing her raw rhymes and unapologetic swagger to a whole new generation.

But Khia's legacy goes beyond catchy hooks and infectious beats. She's a lyrical pioneer who paved the way for women to own their sexuality in hip-hop. Before Cardi B's anthems and Saweetie's confident declarations, Khia was boldly rapping about pleasure, desire, and owning her body on her own terms. Her influence is evident in the music of artists like City Girls and Sexyy Red, who carry the torch of unapologetic femininity with pride.

The echoes of Khia's impact extend beyond hip-hop. Pop icons like Miley Cyrus and Janet Jackson have acknowledged work, her raw energy and lyrical prowess. Even Trick Daddy, a figure known for his own brand of braggadociousness, found common ground with Khia on their collaborative track “Jump On It.”

However Khia's journey hasn't been without its thorns. Beefs, lawsuits, label issues, and online drama have peppered her career. Yet, she's navigated these challenges with the same fiery spirit that defines her music. She's refused to be silenced, unapologetically defending herself and her artistic vision.

Khia's story is one of resilience, of carving a space for unapologetic femininity in a male-dominated genre. She's a trailblazer who deserves her rightful place in the hip-hop pantheon. Her music has inspired countless women, not only to express themselves freely, but to demand respect and recognition on their own terms.

So next time you hear a confident female rapper owning her sexuality, a hint of Khia's fire might be flickering within. Remember, the Thug Misses helped paved the way.
