CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Alright, confession time: In my highly respected, learned and esteemed opinion,
Foxy Brown is the
most complete Femme Cee of all time. Even as my fingers tap away @ my laptop keyboard I can feel the pulses of
Lauryn Hill fans slowing; mouths tasting like copper and the left sides of their bodies numbing as they go into stroke mode. Be clear though, while I believe Foxy to be the
most complete, I cannot tout her as the best female
MC because she (
NOTE: Sadly, like
99.9% of all other female rappers) went "bat shit"
waaaaaaaaaaaay before she could rightfully claim her throne.
Yes,
Inga has never written all of her rhymes, but she is fully capable of such feats of individual achievement. Go back and listen to her early discography - If a verse of hers doesn't sound like
Nas or the vintage
Versace verbiage of
Jay-Z AND it's kind of a rambling materialistic mish-mosh of Mafioso dreams chances are high that she indeed wrote it herself.
True story. She has the flow and (when she's not fucking around with her tonal expressions) the voice. She is naturally and uniquely gifted. Sure, I've had more than enough run-ins with shorty to know that her delusional "
diva" demands far exceed her current smutted-out-by-tons-of-high-ranking-and-low-level-hustlers-alike social value (
Shhhhhhhhhhhh! Don't tell her that it's
NOT 1997 anymore ... lol), but, as far as rap goes, when Fox Boogie is on point, there aint a bitch that can touch her.
Anyway, thanks to purely shock-value lines like, "
The streets talking/Got the hood goin crazy/Niggas heard I fucked with Ross and had the nigga baby/They said I fucked with Nas and now they say it's AZ/But on the low the real nigga was Jay-Z" AND "
I cancel all you broads/Dismantle all you broads/Thump a print in my Miu Miu sandals on you broads/Slam a bitch on her back like I'm John Cena/Fuck That, I ain't Eve, I ain't Kim, I ain't Trina/I'm BK's Don Diva" this joint could easily be dismissed as desperate, but I'll still give honey an '
A' for effort. Yeah, I know that the
Easy Mo Bee production sounds dated as all
H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks and that the nigga
BAM on the track with Fox sounds like a bullshit slow-flow
Treach, but, fuck it! It is what it is. (
NOTE: My nigga
Lil Fame is on there too, but he's only responsible for the hook ...
no harm,
no foul ... lol)
Message To Foxy Brown: We get it.
Jay-Z fucked Y.O.U. in every possible sense of the word. Y.O.U. don't like
Lil Kim,
Trina,
Eve and
x____________________________ (Insert Random Female Rappers Name Here). Cool. So, after all that, now what Y.O.U. really trying to do ma?
Holla @ ya boy in BK!
