What Happened To Foxy Brown? | Depression, Addiction, Legal Issues

[@nicolesherman8974]

While Foxy Brown is a controversial figure, she often gets overlooked in the conversation surrounding trendsetters in female rap.

[@indigo8709]

I agree, Foxy has bars. Her delivery and cadence is amazing, I loved her albums

[@danavixen6274]

Controversial yes yet she's still unsung. ❤

[@firestarr98]

CORRECT!!!

[@brockhampton3078]

Foxy can rap her ass off and is so charismatic on the mic, but IMO her beat choices always held her albums back from being great. I only fw two or three of her songs personally, which is too bad because she's crazy talented.

[@PMack5]

I had her first 3 cds. Liked most of her songs. My favorite one she never released was the one with Havoc from Mobb Deep, The Promise.

[@benjis1465]

I’ve always felt like Foxy never got the flowers she deserved aside from Nicki always shouting her out. She should’ve been on the hip hop honors.

[@dinkyboss]

Nicki really the only female rapper to give Foxy her flowers. It’s really sad if you think about it

[@danavixen6274]

I'm glad Nicki gave her props. Foxxy was one of my FAVORITES back in the '90s! ❤

[@benjis1465]

@@dinkyboss yess they’re very similar too. Foxy was the most controversial hated on female rapper in her day just like Nicki is now. I definitely see how influenced Nicki is by her down to the Chinese tattoos

[@wisdomvsknowledge7662]

@@benjis1465 That’s incorrect. Foxy had her beef but she wasn’t the most hated and controversial during her era. Nicki gets way more hate (and I’m not a Nicki fan in no way). The fans back then was no where near invested in celebrities as Stans are today.

[@FrostFanatikmusic]

Why ???

[@BwahSmuglik]

Not too many youtuber's talk about Foxy.

[@Msboochie2]

Foxy’s pen was unmatched, and her elevated fashion look was setting trends, everyone was wearing her floppy hat and shades. Foxy inspired a lot of female rappers, who continue to diminish their own contributions to rap by pretending she didn't exist. The industry loves to try and erase the accomplishments of black artists they cannot control. The other women look dumb participating in tributes and never mentioning her. The fans won't allow their revisionist history to be the last word.

FACTS

[@beaniegee5129]

Foxy Brown's debut album Ill Na Na was released on the same day as Mobb Deep's 3rd album Hell on Earth, Shaq's 3rd album You Can't Stop the Reign, Flesh-n-Bone's solo debut album T.H.U.G.S., Dru Hill's self-titled debut album and Tony! Toni! Toné!'s 4th album House of Music on November 19th 1996

[@D-Will2k]

Good times

[@jennyjen024]

so much good music!

[@thetruesoulofanaquarius9302]

Wow I never knew she didn't growup in the hoods/projects. I hate Foxy Brown don't receive her flowers she deserves. She definitely was and still is one of the hottest female MC's.

[@chefnae]

She is so beautiful

[@naaimshareef]

@chefnae Indeed sis, Foxy is a beautiful dark brown skinned Blackwoman, who is one of the greatest m.c.s. & one of the greatest lyricists of all times however Foxy hopefully the woman has grown up, matured, got herself together &, got her life together.

[@cadillacdeville5828]

She had a unique look. I remember when she did a concert several years ago and it unfortunately wasn't received well. Some of her antics.

[@Chuck_EL]

Her and Lil Kim are sexy at 4:14 Had huge crushes on both of them as a teenager

[@danavixen6274]

I STILL love the duet Sunshine with Jay Z! ☀️❤ I ALWAYS thought Foxxy was/is beautiful too.

[@beaniegee5129]

The 25th anniversary of Foxy Brown's sophomore album Chyna Doll is this month on January 26th

[@NYRyder1983]

I've always liked that album. Ride (Down South) and BWA were dope.

[@beanasebastiao]

Long overdue, King Fox deserves so much more recognition and respect in hip hop! To see a dark skin girl skyrocket the way she did really inspires me! 🥲

[@nitawilliams8641]

Hhmm...interesting thought here....I think I'm seeing now that "PUFFY" was the 1 starting ALL the Bad Boy "beefs" just to get record sales and come up!! He had Kim start wit Foxy, and if I'm not mistaken, didn't he have Biggie take the 1st shots at Pac wit "Who shot ya", or did Pac start that with "Hit 'em up"??!! Can't remember!! Kim and Foxy had pics together indicating some form of a friendship, and so did Pac and Biggie!!....BUT, beefs centered around HIM (PUFFY) during that era!!.....Hmmmm 🤔🤔🙄🙄....Am I the only 1 thinking this now??!!

[@MZHARDBODYENT]

Biggie recorded who shot ya wayyyy before PAC was shot but it came out right after. PAC thought they knew he was going to get robbed & shot at the studio as well & set him up so once who shot ya dropped he made hit ‘em up

[@beaniegee5129]

Foxy Brown's song Candy was heard in the movie Friday After Next

[@Diz_27]

And in 40 year old Virgin.

[@eeeeeek2514]

That was a bop

[@martinchristian7270]

Sounds to me that she has some anger issues. Hope that she gets some help.

[@smith7388]

She did and it assisted with her downfall.

[@naaimshareef]

Well hopefully for Foxy's own sake she really *& truly has got herself together & got her life together.

[@RandiMarie1111]

Interesting how there was basically no mention of JayZ. I’ve always heard that Foxy was just a teenager when they met……

[@Diz_27]

Right I heard he either slept with her or TRIED to sleep with her while she was underage. 😕

[@NellieKAdaba]

@@Diz_27 Wow

[@SupaStar100]

I love Foxy Boogie Brown and I don't care what people say about her. She is a staple of female empowerment in my teen years. She never let colorism or anything else stop her. On top of that she was a teen herself with a crazy flow like that. Everybody had her albums. Give Foxy her props.

[@benjis1465]

This is crazy I kid you not I’ve been thinking about her these past couple days and listening to her music I wish she would’ve kept going cause she’s definitely up there with Kim🔥🔥

[@traceycamille]

If Foxy was out now she’d flourish just like Nicki because class and humility have left the business. Her nasty attitude keeps her overlooked and out the conversation of innovators because it was a different time back then ✌🏽

[@TheNewgreatlife]

This is a very good perspective.

[@iamremy98]

Please can you do a video about British singer Craig David? There's so much to say about his career, what happened after his first album and why he didn't have the same career as his US peers.

[@beaniegee5129]

Foxy Brown also appeared on Jay-Z's song Ain't No off the Nutty Professor soundtrack

[@belcbelle2634]

Get you home. My its the weekend, im in the car, im going out song. The song reminds me of that time in my life. 1996? A special time. And i cant with total i still listen to today. Still a good song.

[@thecloud9effect765]

Thank you for your hard work ❤

[@high_maintenance]

Been a Foxy fan since I was a kid and was soooo happy to assist her while shopping at Balmain in nyc. She was so nice ❤

[@Leslie-x9x]

Hot Spot & Oh Yeah ft Spragga Benz are my fav songs from her. Although the cut with Blackstreet will forever be a classic 🎶

[@memethewriter1723]

Imagine if Foxy and Kim were the hip hop Thelma and Louise. Not a group, but on a divide and conquer type of vibe. Their objective? Forcing the masses to give female hip hop artists the respect that they deserve. They each would have their own fan base but would collab often enough. Never dissed each other and would make it clear that if anyone had a problem with one, they had a problem with both. Kim being Biggie's Bonnie and Foxy being Jay-Z's ...each holding their own while still looking out for each other.... Imagine... When will we learn that we're stronger together than apart smh 😔

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

Foxy Brown, the real queen of hip hop indeed

Foxy was supposed to release a book. She’s a fascinating individual and I wanna know more about her. I think she still lives in Brooklyn, park slope with her mother.

[@michaelmitchell5098]

Ill nana…one of the hottest hip hip albums of that year!!

[@LadyIsTheChamp]

Hope she does an interview or documentary one day......there have been so many underage claims with grown men we all have heard of over the years. Years ago it was said she was also at parties with Other grown rapper's and R&B singers as well......smh. They preyed on her and used her up smh. I remember hearing about her being on drugs and at a time people stated she was talking to her self. I really wanna know what did they do to this queen. She deserved so much more. Nicki got her whole sound from her.....foxy use to always say "She was the bad guy" and she was considered Raps bad girl years ago. Diddy is a bad problem.....first he dissed her with kim, then started hanging with her while ahe dissed kim🤦🏽‍♀️. I truly believe it was those grown men and women around kim and foxy when they were young......in their ear starting that lifelong beef.

[@firestarr98]

She has a book coming out soon

Love this channel but I miss when you did videos on more obscure artists and/or shows and movies. Not topics and artists that have a million videos each on them. Yes might not bring in as much views but it's a niche that should be filled. There's sooo many musicians who made an impact in the industry but were mostly forgotten.
