Foxy Brown Discussion

How sad..I hate when my 90's girls embarrass themselves

[JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME]

Inga's gone and done it again! It seems that everytime she goes to a salon, something like this happens.

I don't think it will really be possible for her to have any kind of success again, but when she gets more attention for her misbehavior and her beefs, it makes it even harder for her to be taken seriously.

Foxy Brown Plans Comeback with ‘D.R.U.G.Z.’ – Are You Ready?

Foxy Brown is preparing for a comeback. The Brooklyn rapper returns after a lengthy hiatus with a new track ‘D.R.U.G.Z.’

“I don’t pop molly, I rock the crown though,” Fox boasts, along with her trademark “Whoa!” The self-proclaimed “Bad Gyal” also says that she smashes presidents, word to ‘Scandal’ character Olivia Pope. How timely. Foxy’s new single is only available as a snippet now. The full song is set to hit iTunes next week per Miss Info.

Foxy has been largely quiet since 2001′s ‘Broken Silence.’ She’s attempted several near-comebacks including an appearance with Nicki Minaj onstage in NYC in 2012. Earlier this year, Foxy tried to return with ‘Bandz Up,’ which she performed at Barclays Center leading into MTV’s Video Music Awards. She spoke to host Sway Calloway at the time about new record label rumors and what it would take her to sign. “My bar is set so high that any label that I go to now has to be an incredible situation for me — financially and spiritually,” she stated.

Listen to ‘D.R.U.G.Z.’ below. Are you ready for Foxy Brown’s comeback?

What Millennials Should Know About... Foxy Brown 'Ill Na Na'
Aliya S. King Posted June 24, 2014



To celebrate Black Music Month, VIBE spotlights some of music's most essential timepieces for Gen Y to get hip to

FOXY BROWN
Ill Na Na (1996)

Most Slept On: It’s strange that the title track to Foxy’s landmark album would also be the song most slept-on. Ill Na Na was never released as an official single and although Method Man appears on the song, there was no video for the track.

The level of sex-fueled braggadocio on "Ill Na Na" is dizzying, (and just a bit disconcerting, considering Foxy was barely seventeen when she recorded it). Thematically, she’s all over the place on her verses, shutting down fellow rappers who think they can compete and then putting her boo in his place if he thinks she’s coming straight home from the club.

(She actually talks about leaving for a ladies' night out while her man is standing by the microwave cooking. She kisses the baby goodnight and then says she might be coming home later. She was seventeen! When I was seventeen I was still wondering if I should make an emergency breakthrough on Darnell’s phone because I was getting a busy signal. Wait. Y’all millennials don’t know about emergency breakthroughs do you?! Ah well. It was a Thing. Trust me. )

Think of the song "Ill Na Na" this way. There’s a verse in the late Maya Angelou’s classic poem, “Still I Rise,” in which she says:

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Foxy Brown’s "Ill Na Na" track is essentially that Maya Angelou verse, except with a foul mouth, a ‘90s spin and a sample of The Commodores “Brickhouse.”

The message, hammered home by Method Man in the chorus, is simple: My vagina is better than any other vagina in the whole wide world and it is so special that it will intoxicate you and make you buy me nice things. The end.

It wasn’t the first time a female rapper raised eyebrows by spitting about the diamond at the meeting of her thighs. But her brusque and gruff delivery and true ability to spit as well as her male contemporaries gave the song sit-up-and-take-notice status.



Lines Best For Status Updates:
-“She’s all about sex?/Pardon, check your facts/and the track record/I’m all about plaques" (“Ill Na Na”)
- “Leave my boo by the microwave/kiss the baby goodnight/it's my time to shine/it's playtime tonight” (“Ill Na Na”)
- “I push the V/Not the backseat girl” (“I’ll Be”)
- “To the tilt/that’s just the way I‘m built/Nasty/But classy still” (“I’ll Be”)
-“I realized you was misleading me/I should have known/You left the last chick to be with me” (“If I”)
-“Ladies take this oath from Fox/repeat this/love thy self put no one above thee/cause ain’t nobody gon’ love me like me” (“I’ll Be”)
-“Marry who? Daddy please/I’m taking it all from the stash to the keys” (“Get You Home”)
-"If I could take this back I would/If I could rewind the time to when it was all good/I would" (“If I”)
-"While I’m getting dressed/This ain’t yo pad/I left some money on the dresser/find you a cab" (“Ill Na Na”)

Bet You Didn’t Know: Although Foxy’s beef with fellow sexpot rapper Lil Kim has been well documented, the two started out as friends. In fact, on the song Ill Na Na, Foxy name-checks her future frenemy: Loving this life/waiting for Kim album to drop/knowing it’s tight.

Bet You (Also) Didn’t Know: Foxy recorded that line before Kim’s album was released but Lil Kim’s debut Hard Core actually ended up dropping exactly one week before Ill Na Na. The competing release dates and in fighting from their camps is often cited as the reason for their initial riff.

Synopsis: Imagine a 16 year-old girl free-styling in a talent show and catching the ear of a few producers. And now imagine those producers put her on a posse-track with the hottest rappers out right now, maybe Kendrick, J. Cole, Drake and Jay Z. And imagine she rips it. To the point that no one is talking about anything but her and her deep-throated growl. That’s what happened in 1995 when Foxy Brown appeared out of the clear blue sky on LL Cool J’s remix to “I Shot Ya.” The song was stacked with vets like Prodigy and Fat Joe but all anyone could talk about was the girl who rapped hard enough to hold her own. (Fourteen years later, Nicki Minaj would replay this exact feat, when she introduced herself to the world by going toe-to-toe with (and outshining) Jay-Z, Rick Ross and Kanye West on "Monster".)



After the success of "I Shot Ya," Foxy quickly racked up hits with Toni Braxton, Case, Jay Z and BlackStreet, becoming a hip-hop household name before she even had a deal.

Ill Na Na as a whole doesn’t quite stack up to the flurry of buzzy singles Foxy dropped before she started recording her debut album. But taken at face value, Ill Na Na remains a tour-de-force. Foxy was by no means the first female rapper to get respect from her male counterparts. Latifah, MC Lyte and Roxanne Shante were all able to stake their claim as purely dope rappers, not just dope female rappers. But Foxy was one of the first to garner respect (and lust) in and out of the booth.—Aliya S. King

Her first two albums are flawless. I'll always be a fan.

[SHOOTER]

It would be cool if she actually made another one.

Yes! The first album reigns supreme though. And the title track was one of my faves. I was a freshman in college at the time and I remember thinking I was the ish because I used the intro to it for my dorm room voicemail. "One time...huh...all up in ya like a bone!". That album and Kim's debut are like crack.

[Deleted]

I LOVE "Big Bad Mama" from her debut.

[Wave.]

She might as well.

[Hashtag Pow]

That would be good for her. She needs to lose some weight.

[Caviar]

She's the only legendary MC from the 90s who still can still get a hit!

[George]

She gave birth to her first child, a girl named Foxy, earlier this year:

[think pink.]

She was effortlessly sexy.

Ooh yes! I misread that article about the name.

[Caviar]

Fav female rapper.

[George]

Appearing on Nicki Minaj’s new album. I hope the track could become a single and introduce Foxy to a new generation!

[🇯🇲 lucy88 🇯🇲]

It's so nice to see the two of them doing a song together!

[JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME]

She apparently got booed during a performance at Kandi's Welcome To The Dungeon Tour tonight

This is footage of her performance.

[Ling-Ling]

Yeah, if you watch footage of the entire performance, it was a DISASTER. Not sure if she was having technical difficulties or just didn't rehearse, but she deserved to get booed off stage.

[JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME]

I was just trying to make sense of what was happening. At first I thought that was the audience yelling random stuff loudly until I realized that it was Inga herself.

[SHOOTER]

Now y’all know her hearing is compromised...

[JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME]

Wendy Williams attended the show but she left before Foxy performed and she talked about it.

5:20 into it.

Foxy just dropped a surprise EP called “Fox 96”

[Caviar]
