Where do I begin? How about… did Foxy write her own lyrics on this album? Her new album “Brooklyn’s Don Diva” is a rip off of Lil’ Kim’s last album“The Naked Truth” and while the beats are on point, there’s nothing new under Fox-boogies verbal skills. Expect the same ol’ lyrical ramblings of how wet her pooter is, how plump her bootie got and how everybody wants a piece of the Ill-Nana! Oh, and sprinkle some “she run Brooklyn and just got outta’ prison so I’m hard as fuck” type lyrics on top of her nasty jive talk. I will say that it is interesting to see this new release courtesy of Black Rose/Koch recordings. It ain’t no Def Jam where she was spoiled with hit making producers and chart topping singles featuring todays hottest talents. Think of Brooklyn’s Don Diva as Foxy’s path to the independent route. Rather than having Jay-Z and past hit makers like The Trackmasters and Jermaine Dupri, Fox doubles up on producers catering more to the streets than commercial radio. (Fizzy Womack of M.O.P. drops a beat for Fox!) It’s also interesting to point out Lady Saw bringing her Rasta-flavor alongside Foxy’s steez. (Peep “The Quan, the beat is fresh to def)

While I can’t totally bag on this release, the beats come to the rescue for a clueless Foxy Brown. Lets face it, all that talk of being sexy and hard on the streets is old. Come clean and show us who you really are Foxy, not what’s written on paper and than acted out. There was a time when I thought Foxy was gonna make it big… (which she did…) she killed it with Jay-z on “Ain’t no ni@@a” and stood out on Case’s “Touch Me Tease me” single… but after that, she traded in her style and finesse for “eat my pu$$y” talk.
