Emcee, trendsetter, and lip-gloss-popper Lil’ Mama has done a lot to prove herself as the Voice of the Young People since the release of her first mainstream single, Lip Gloss last year.  The Harlem-born spitter has shown that she is a nonconformist, at least by “femcee” standards, and has earned herself a spot on the Billboard’s top ten on two occasions.  Unfortunately, with the untimely passing of her mother this past winter, Lil’ Mama has had to deal with tragedy in the wake of success. L.I.F.E., the fourth single off of VYP, features production from fellow Brooklynites Tuneheadz, and offers gritty insight into her past. “I ain’t got no pictures of my mother, she was a crack fiend, nothing like Pac mother” shows us the antithesis of the high-school hip-pop diva we were introduced to, and gives us reason to believe there may be another side to her voice.

Lil Mama Killed It With The Lyrics!!
Didn't know she could go like that, this doesnt sound anything like her other songs either.

This joint is one of the greatest from Lil Mama. I already knew there was more to hear than Lip Gloss and G-Side Tour buses. Hopefully this will help others finally figure that out and stop calling her a reason for killing hip hop or saying her name in the same sentence as people like Soulja Boy or Pop It Off Boyz. She's a spitter. Give her credit. Peep the video for this as well. It's deep and well produced. Oh, and that pic makes her actually look a tad bit cute, for the first time ever...lol. Do ya thang ma.

Bar none, the best song on her album. She wants to teach the younger generation and in order to be a role model, you have to prove you've gone through what you talk about. This is it. Very happy she rolled with this one as the new single.

Im happy she chose this as a single so she could send a message out to her fans besides how to wear your lip gloss or how her school bus bumps, haha. But I just am not feeling this song very much for her kind of track. I cant really take her seriously yet.

This is the kind of track I wanted to hear Lil Mama on. I always knew she was a very talented rapper, but you couldn't really tell when listening to "Lipgloss." I like this song though.

Definitely steps beyond Lip Gloss and The Magic School Bus or whatever the hell that was... But it was d efinitely raw emotion seeping through my speakers.. And the beat even sounded like it was crying with the sample in the background.... Classic for her

This track is a rollercoaster of emotions, as her album is, so it’s a nice choice for a single. She spits fire, has a dynamic ever-changing flow, storytelling skills and the production is impressive! Lil Mama is to be taken seriously! I heard her album and it’s solid! Forget Lip Gloss, this is the real Lil Mama, I even heard her on the Cipher freestyles, so I know she can do it. I like the fact that she doesn’t need to get herself naked, nasty, whore-sounding, or tryin to hard to be a badass like most femcee do to get attention! Just look at the picture: she doesn’t look like any other femcee. Just a cute girl who happens to rap and look older than she is.

i dont like lil mama that much... and again i'm not surprised by this track... in short it's lame....
she wants to be taken seriously after her recent songs, "Lip-gloss" ??? not gonna happen. i'll foreva c her as the childish singer, with crappy lyrics, and okay beats...
i will say that the idea/thought behind this song is touching, and the beat is better then usual, and lil mama has a couple verses that were okay. altough the catch is CRAP!

I don't know about the best song on the album, perhaps message wise but not the best production on the album. However, she delivers on this song.
