Foxy Rocks Her Bells On Debut Classic!.......2006-10-27

Wow it's hard to believe that this album came out 10 years ago already, I was just going through my CD collection yesterday and I was playing this and it still sounds just as live as it did when I first heard it back then, my favorite tracks on here are "Gotta Get You Home", "Ill Na Na", "Foxy's Bells", "I'll Be", and "If I", I really hope that she could get past all of her troubles off the mic and put out another album 'cause she's one of the best female rappers ever, much love Foxy keep ya head up baby

Another personality concieved by a CPA to lift a few bill from your pocket........2006-08-29

Profound.

Not.

Foxy is rakin' in money from suckers. Her pimp is a CPA.

OK the dumbos who like to look at her booty and boobies can now press the "not helpful" button, and the smart people can, at least, consider what I've written. Not too many smart people here.

awesome hip hop album.......2005-10-25

true this album is full of samples but it's a groovy party album that gets you in the mood and the music on this CD reminds me of my junior high days in 1996/97 when I hear this, it definitely takes you back.

Almost a classic!.......2005-09-01

Foxy Brown can straight flow! Everyone knows that. She ripped Case's Touch Me Tease me wide apart and for me, stole the show from LL Cool J on Who Shot Ya.
Her debut album is very good. Foxy Browns flow is different in a strange way that I can't put my finger on and that is why she stands out. Her beats match her feiry rhymes perfectly.
However my only complaint I would say is she didn't write all of her material-not even half.
However she was 16 when she recorded this so maybe she just wasn't secure in her rhymes yet (Too bad cuz she can spit).
But when Fox is on she is unstoppable. Get me Home, Promise,Ill be, and Ill NA na are all clear standouts.
If I is a very astonishing song about Fox getting personal about love lost. This song in itself shows Fox as a rap powerhouse that she has always had the potential to be.
I still feel that even with all her acclaim, Foxy is missing something. Only Fox can hold herself back. It will be nice to hear her new album coming out soon.
My favs: Ill Be, If I, Promise, Get me home
Get this album and Broken Silence. Chyna Doll wasn't good in my opinion! But her debut and third are fire!

Foxy Brown, The illest chick period........2005-08-22

Although Foxy aka Inga only co-wrote a couple a songs, this cd is bangin'. The production on this album was great. "Get Me Home," "I'll Be," & "Foxy's Bells" were some highlights. When Foxy Brown first met Nas she stated that she was a little scared writing her own rhymes because she didn't know if they were good enough. Still, Foxy Brown was only 16 when she recorded this album and her voice sounds straight up gangsta.

Joining a cadre of similar-sounding and conceptually cloned efforts, Foxy Brown's Chyna Doll takes its place among a field of equally mundane offerings. While Brown has shown some maturation, especially on cuts like the surprisingly personal "My Life," she's still talking about her "ill na na" ("Tramp") or making pretentious bids for big Willie (Wilma?) status ("4-5-6"). Mostly, though, Chyna Doll just sounds like any number of New York-based rap albums, especially with its commercial formula of shuffling high hats, catchy hooks, and recycled funk loops. In the end, Brown's self-exploitive (sexually and racially) cover art is likely to offer more provocative statements than the album itself. --Oliver Wang

Customer Reviews:

this album broke records.......2005-10-25

when this album came out it was one of the biggest debuts by a female hip hop artist and was even listed in the guiness book of world records around 2000. The first half of it is great, much more feminine than the last album and with samples used in a clever way with guest appearances by dmx, total and mya. The second half does nothing for me though a couple of the interludes cracked me up. She was trying to be too much like lil kim on this album but I still like it.

Brown's Sophomore Effort 3.5/5.......2005-08-24

When first hearing this cd, Brown's voice totally changed. What the hell? This album is pretty good but the voice doesn't sound hardcore. Unlike Ill Na Na, 18 year old Foxy co-wrote every song this time. If it wasn't for the really good production on this album, I would give this 3 out of 5 stars. Great tracks include: "Baller Bitch" & "It's Hard Being Wifee" feat. Noreaga.

She is just super good.......2005-04-16

I'm a big Linda Ronstadt fan, always have been. I like nothing better than grabbing some chicken in a biscuit crackers, a bottle of ginger ale and throwing on some Linda Ronstadt to relax after a tough week of throwing garbage at donkeys. Whether it's "You're no good" or her early Stone Ponies stuff a little Linda makes me jovial. I think I've finally found the next Linda Ronstadt and it's this Foxy Brown lady. What a pleasant young lady. She sings great songs that remind of the show tunes of yore. I picture her in a square dancing outfit on a hillside singing these lovely melodies every time I get this disc out. It's theraputic like a bubble bath with the Elmo bubbles that come in the red bottle. Foxy is a girl with great morals and a good head on her shoulders. I have a daughter and if she grows up to be the white Foxy Brown I will have done my job as a parent. Great CD, get it for everyone that you have to buy presents for.

Name That Style (2 Stars).......2005-01-20

Here's the problem with "jiggy" rap music: There's no originality. Anyone who heard Foxy's Ill Na Na album knows Foxy's style of rhyming. If you've listened to that album and then tried to listen to this one, then you probably know what I'm about to say, but I'll say it anyway: Foxy bit Lil' Kim so hard on this album that when I first heard "Hot Spot" I thought it was Kim until I heard the chorus. Not only did she bite Kim's flow, she even tried to sound like her. Where'd that chick with the deep voice go on this album? Anyone that doesn't hear it or can't admit to it is either biased or in denial. There's also lots of typical/generic tunes on this CD that fail to seperate Foxy from the rest of the pack. "Dog & A Fox" features DMX on what is possibly the lamest chorus I've EVER heard this side of Vanilla Ice. Not even Jay Z could keep "Bonnie & Clyde Pt. 2" from being incredibly lame. And "Ride (Down South)" is the obligatory "southern" track that comes off as just plain sad. The unoriginality doesn't stop there though. Even the skits bite other artists. The "Bomb A**" skit bites an old Snoop Dogg skit and is probably the worst skit ever and the intro is a spinoff of Notorious B.I.G.'s intro from his first album. There's nothing original about this album. All of the subject matter is the same and the beats are generic for the most part. Basically, the album is wack.

There are a few highlights to be found on the album, but not many. "Hot Spot" is very catchy if you can get past her biting Kim's style. "I Can't" features Total and "J.O.B." features Mya and they both are somewhat tolerable if you can get past the generic subject matter.

Basically, I wouldn't reccomend this album to anyone. It's wack. Period. Anyone with two fully functional ears can hear the differences in this and her other albums. That lack of originality makes this album almost painful to listen to. Avoid at all costs.

Standout Tracks: Hot Spot and J.O.B. feat. Mya

Couple Good Tracks.......2004-11-24

This album was actually the first time I heard Foxy. It definitely has it high points, but mainly brought down with low ones. A lot of forgettable tracks, that aren't bad but are boring, but there are a lot of bad tracks too. Fox shines the most on the tracks that she's on by herself, which isn't a lot. This album got me listening but her first album "Ill Na Na" made me a fan. The albums stand outs are Hot Spot and My Life. But I Can't, Dog and a Fox, and J.O.B. are also worth a listen. If your a fan of Fox I suggest giving this album a listen, but if you're not I suggest passing this one, and going for Ill Na Na or her best Broken Silence.

Rupaul is more a "treat" for the eyes than the ears.......2006-12-03

There are certain celebrities/"entertainers" that defy description: Slim Whitman, Kevin Federline, Mr. T., Flava Flav, and Paris Hilton. They are media "creations" that rely totally on gimmicks than genuine talent. I hate to do this but to that list, I must add RuPaul.

Standing at well over 6'7" in heels, the statuesque performer is an average looking guy but when dolled up to the max, he makes a stunning "woman" that appeals to both genders. Unfortunately, while the "look" may work on stage and on any visual medium, it's what is heard that makes it on a recording.

And on that "note," RuPaul doesn't quite cut it. He is an average singer, saddled on "Foxy Lady" with interchangeable songs that may be perfect for the dance floor or gym yet don't do much when played in the confines of one's home.

The album even lacks the tongue-in-cheek humor of the earlier "Supermodel of the World"; thus, "Foxy Lady" can't garner any more than a CURVED (and, SYMPATHETIC) three stars, in my opinion.

Now, if paired with the right producer that knows the singer's limits, Ru may just come up with a release worthy of his camp/novelty factor.

And, with that, he may emerge as more than just a gimmick.

Great Happy CD.......2004-10-14

The songs for this album are great and timeless. I love pop and this is probably one of my 3 favorites. Buy this album

a wonderful follow-up.......2004-09-03

i can't believe there are only seven reviews for ms. paul! i felt compelled to add my two cents! this is an awesome cd and a wonderful bridge between "supermodel of the world" and "red hot". rupaul has grown on this album and you can hear the proof in songs like "delores" and "if you were a woman and i was a man". there is not one bad song on the entire album. my only criticism would be that i'm not crazy about the album cover because i don't think it does ru justice. just check out the cover for the new album "red hot" and you'll see what i mean. ru--keep it up girl. you are THE drag queen and we all bow before you.

A Work Of Art.......2004-05-27

This is a great cd for dancing to or like me i dance around the house listening to it while I clean is fun, energetic, and entertaining and truely a great album

Spectaular Second Effort.......2003-09-24

One of the better Hi-NRG albums. This CD does not dissappoint. I really like the songs "Snapshot", "Happy" & "Party Train" among others. Every song from beginning to end is great. Get this album if you don't already have it!!!

She's back. After more drama than even this unshy Big Bad Mama might have wanted, it seems as if Foxy Brown has pulled back from the abyss. Of course, on her first album in three years (since the disappointing Chyna Doll), Foxy's rhyme skills haven't gotten any better or worse--she still exhibits the focused monotone that first got her noticed in 1995 on LL Cool J's "I Shot Ya." Broken Silence can't be called a revelation, but it does showcase a less ill, more introspective Na Na. Gratuitous battle rhymes are still very much in effect, but the effort she's made to explore her recent painful experiences has resulted in some pretty compelling material. Foxy explains her position, pointedly making thinly veiled references to the many industry beefs and relationship problems that have made her name prime fodder for the rumor mills. Many of the best tunes found here, including the ragga raw "Oh Yeah," are heavy on the reggae vibe, but, quiet as it's been kept, Foxy's been exploring her dancehall roots for a while now. Broken Silence may not be the best we'll ever hear from Ms. Brown, but you can definitely call it a comeback. --Rebecca Levine

I love this album so much, I wore it out in 2001 and up until it was stolen. This will be my second time purchasing it.

The ILLEST!!! Fox we need you.......2006-10-06

I just pulled this out looking for something different to listen too,MAN I had forgot how DOPE this lp is. This is by far the best female rap album I've ever had the pleasure of owning. And one of very few albums I can listen to from start to finish. My personal favorite was "The Letter" talk about letting your fans in on what you have gone through. It doesnt get an more personal than this track. I can't even list off the dopest track because they are all hot. There is not a bad song on her. I cant wait until is graces us with a new one.

Foxy Brown, The Illest Female in Tha Rap Game.......2006-09-25

Also tha sexiest. 4real. This album was the best out of all her albums. This is what the definition of real rap is. Tha only thing that could be changed is how she talks about Prada, Christian Diore, n other material brand names. N she talk about her na-na, but I got no problem wit dat. Id put my face in it anyday. Now just cuz I like her dnt mean Im not feelin Lil' Kim or Remy Ma. Lil' Kim CD The Naked Truth was real good, n Remy Ma CD Theres Somethin about Reamy Based on A True story was good too. But Foxy Brown is my favorite hands down. I can't wait till she drop Black Roses.
Buy This CD................

Foxy's best yet!.......2006-09-04

What I like most about this album is Brown's return of her Trini roots on several of the dancehall inspired tracks. "Oh Yeah", "Saddest day", and "Tables wil turn" had nice dancehall chorus that made the songs pop.

Every song on this cd is worth listening too which is really rare with most cd's these days. This is Foxy's first album that can be compared to Lil Kim's Hardcore in terms of content and arrangement.

This is the BK princess I've been waiting to hear and i'm really feelin "come fly with me" featuring sizzla. i hope she continues to kick it up a notch on this next cd.

CLASSIC!.......2006-08-08

This album was so slept on. Maybe lack of promotion being the cause?!? This is definetly a classic and one that I have been listening to since its release and will continue to listen to for years to come.

Should've Been A CD Single.......2002-07-27

Two great dance songs ("Get Off" and "Hot Number") surrounded by tepid disco slush do not make a Greatest Hits album. What's sad is that Foxy didn't take the formula they created with "Get Off" and run with it on later albums. It would've been far more interesting.

good music.......2001-01-09

There are good songs in this CD, my favorites are Get off, Rrrrock and Hot number. They made me dance when I was younger. But there's a problem with the CD: When I heared the songs some strange "clicks" appeared, like in a vinyl disc, maybe a mistake in some phase of the entire recording process. Good music, the CD could be better.

A good mix of disco and intrumental.......2000-06-25

This one has a good mix of disco with an instrumental twist. The songs are very mature and they remind me of some of the chase scenes on CHIPS. All the songs have some instrumental segments which are cleaver and gives you a change of beat. Buy it.

frat boy stuff? you should be ashamed!.......2004-08-21

"foxy music" has to be one of the most unique and jaw dropping albums i have heard in quite a while. the experimentation and unoriginality is astounding. i couldn't believe my ears when i heard this album. every track is different unlike other albums out there.

i have read some reviews that have labeled this album as frat boy music. frat boy music? FRAT BOY MUSIC!?! this is far from anything that could be labeled as frat boy music. whatever that means? and i have an idea. it seems like whoever deems this as frat music needs to reexamine this album and probably their own collection because it seems they wouldn't know creativity and experimentation, along with rhythm and groove, if it came and slapped them in their face.

this album is full of everything that makes an album GREAT. musicianship. creativeness. unfrightened of experimentation. uniqueness. groove. harmony. rhythm. and yes, you could probably even dance to it, even though i won't be able to because i will be too busy trying to discover all the rich layers throughout each song.

for anyone who is buying this, get ready to have your mind blown. for anyone considering buying it, cherish it and get some more. for those who don't like something original, go to search and type in N'Sync.

ugh. More of the same white boy frat funk baloney.......2004-04-10

I picked this up on the recommendation of other reviewers here at amazon. What an incredible disappointment. They may have studied their record collections well enough but the end result is nothing more than a collection of really unoriginal, posturing "groove rock" that's no better than some ivy league Grand Cherokee ski bum act. Simply awful.

I Just Stumbled On This One.......2002-03-12

So I saw this CD in a store and read the back and I thought it looked pretty cool. I decided to buy it and was completely amazed at what I heard. It has a really cool electric jazz 70's sound with a 21st century edge to it. Definetely worth getting if you are looking for something new and a lot of fun to listen to.

Foxy Music is a step forward for these S.F. groove masters.......2001-10-24

Following up their CD of remixes, this is a 12 song CD of all new Mushroom songs and recordings. The band now features maverick trumpeter Jon Birdsong (known for his performances with Beck and Beth Orton), percussionist Dave Mihaly, Carroll Ashby on trombone, and guitarist Josh Pollock. Long time Mushroom members: drummer Patrick O'Hearn, guitar / sax / fluteman Erik Pearson, keyboard whiz Michael Holt and bassist Kurt Statham remain. Also aboard are some special guests including Hammond organ master Michael Bluestein (Will Bernard & Motherbug).

Recently profiled in Down Beat, who compared Mushroom to Herbie Hancock's Headhunters and Miles Davis' Big Fun album. The band has also received praise from Mojo, who said: "Some of the best space jams heard since Loop and The Spacemen 3". Ptolemaic Terrascope: "combine the Canterbury sound and an ability to blow like Miles or Coltrane with certain overtones of some of the greatest Krautrock bands". San Francisco Bay Guardian:

Customer Reviews:

quite a discovery!.......2006-06-23

I adored Get Off at the time of release, no matter if it's as irritating as it is infectiously enjoyable, but knew nothing else by them other than their forgotten classic Party Boys, a sultry, mesmerizing, throbbingly sexy track with an unusually slow beat and leanings towards New Wave (this track is presented here in its extended, though not fully extended mix). Party Boys is still far superior to anything else Foxy ever did, but the rest of this compilation turned out to be a real suprise. A few forgettably fluffy tracks notwithstanding, there are are serious treats here: Get off your Aahh and Dance was a minor hit and stands up well today - an instrumental with meandering flutes, manic violins and frenetic bongos, it pleasantly recalls the cheesiness and cheerfulness of the disco years. Other tracks hint at a versatility one wouldn't have expected from this bunch - Mademoiselle is a down-tempo and super catchy blend of soul and funk; even Tena's Song's nod to 1920's sounds works well. The most energetic and likeable track though, aside from Get Off and it's lesser follow-up Hot Number, is Head Hunter (here in its 12inch version), a slapping, funky, driving track that recalls Get Off without being derivative (like Hot Number) and goes one better even by not being so aggressive and retaining interest throughout. This particular compilation is highly recommended, and even the liner notes are well written, embellished by sexy/kitschy photos.

Smashing Album.......2005-11-11

Any album that gives us Jason Graae singing "Smashing, New York Times" is worth having.

Great singers, not so great music.......2001-12-26

I love hearing songs from forgotten and lost musicals, and I enjoyed Unsung Musicals I, but I was disappointed with this one. "Lawyers" is easily the best song on the CD. Most of the other songs are ballads, and dull ones at that. (Admittedly, I am not a big ballad fan.) Looks like Bruce Kimmel's song selection process kind of flattened out here. Why, for example, did they choose a ballad from Foxy, when by all accounts the songs originally sung by Bert Lahr in that show were a lot of fun? On the other hand, the singers are very respectable and always worth listening to. Glory Crampton definitely needs more leading roles! My advice is to listen to the song snippets first, to determine if these songs are your thing.

Once again, unsung perhaps, but often wonderful.......2001-02-15

This is the second fine CD in the series of three. These selections may be songs that are not well known from shows in the same category, but some of these are real gems, sung by fine show singers. My favorites are "Lawyers" (from A Broadway Musical), "Everything in the World" (The Yearling), "Smashing New York Times" (also A Broadway Musical), "Run Cinderella" (Foxy), and "Phantom of the Opera" (title song from the Rupert Holmes show). There was a third CD in this series. If its not longer available, they should reissue it. Its on a par with the other two in the series.

A Must-Have for Musical Fans.......2000-03-25

The Unsung Musicals albums are a treasure for those who are "mega-fans" of musical theatre. All the songs share the tragic fate of being in a musical that just never made it on the Great White Way.

Some of the songs are somewhat cloying, such as "One Promise Come True." However, there are also some real gems, such as "Lawyers," which has some clever rhymes and a catchy tune. You also get the added bonus of hearing some great singers perform such as Sally Mayes, Rebecca Luker and Davis Gaines.

Overall, this recording is great for both its entertainment and its historical value.
