Foxy Brown - Broken Silence

Foxy breaking her Silence is golden

You can tell when an artist put strong effort into an album because you'll be able to feel it straight through. Case in point with Foxy's Broken Silence. Her first album, Ill Na Na I enjoyed. Chyna Doll not so much but this album was a huge improvement. For starters we all know that she was going through a lot of stress before she started working on this album. On here she adresses how she tried to commit suicide by trying to overdose on medication and she talks about her relationships as well as her beefs. She does most of her revealing on the track The Letter featuring Ronald Isley. The track is was already great but Ronald Isley on the chorus was the icing on the cake. B.K Anthem should have been the anthem for Brooklyn seeing that it is one of the best anthems to a city ever made. Foxy keeps it true to her reggae roots and Tables Will Turn, Na Na Be Like and Run Them(both Tables Will Turn and Run Dem are featuring Baby Cham). In the most unexpected matchup I've ever heard at the time, Mystikal and Foxy Brown on Bout My Paper was magic plus that laidback beat was crazy. Another song that was crazy is the Capone and Nore assisted Run Yo S***. 730 by itself goes in the classic file as Foxy throws some sharp barbs at Natina of Blaque and Lil Kim. Hood Scriptures is another crazy track with Foxy spitting over an exotic beat. Oh Yeah with Spragga Benz was a pretty good single and the end track Broken Silence is beautiful(do you notice how every song that sampled Broken Wings sound better than Broken Wings?). Bottom Line: Foxy Brown poured her heart and soul into Broken Silence and the end results is a beautiful classic. She was so into it so much that you can tell that she was crying on certain tracks(Broken Silence and The Letter). All in all it was a excellent effort and is her most slept-on album(check the record sales if you think Im kidding). Standout tracks: FALLIN, OH YEAH, B.K ANTHEM, THE LETTER, 730, TABLES WILL TURN, HOOD SCRIPTURES, BOUT MY PAPER, RUN YO S***, SADDEST DAY and BROKEN SILENCE. July 5, 2007

FOX SO HOT!

Without a Doubt, this has got to be one of the BEST CD's ever by any female mc. Foxy is back and ready to re-claim her Thrown! I don't care what all the Haters and Nay-sayers have to say, Foxy is truly a talented young female. She has really amazed me with the work that she's done on this album. The whole CD is Blazin Hot, but the real prime cutz are "Oh Yeah", "Tables Will Turn" and "Saddest Day". Anyone thats into real "Hip-Hop/Rap" will love this CD and will NOT be dissapointed...so go get this joint NOW! July 31, 2001
