CD: Foxy Brown,Ill Na Na
As seems to be a growing trend within the world of hip-hop, this album opens with a trailer “for future presentation”: “Intro..ken Coop” is a nod to The Firm, Brown’s next project and a hip hop supergroup. Foxy raps and gives attitude alongside some of the most revered gentlemen of modern R&B including Blackstreet & Teddy Riley, Method Man (of the Wu-Tang Clan), Jay-Z and Dru Hill. Foxy’s rapping is amazing: Her quick flow is spot-on with the music. Unsurprisingly the “Big Bad Mama” herself comes across as a sexually mature chick you just wouldn’t wanna mess with. The lyrics are full of sexual references, and it’s a refreshing change to hear a woman who’s not afraid of her sexuality. Like most albums of this ilk the faster dancier tracks are better than the slower, inoffensive singles such as “Get Me Home”. –Ronita Dutta
