"I so badly wanted to love this CD but, I barely like it.I have loved Foxy since day one and own all of her CD's. I waited forever for this release to come out just to be disappointed. It's not all horrible but, most of it is. Foxy still has good rhymes and a huge presence but, it is lacking. It is lacking in the production. Almost all the songs sound the same and have very similar beats that make it hard to know when a new song has come on.



Another thing that bugs me with this CD is her constantly referencing her hearing problem. That subject shows up in about 3 or 4 songs. We get it.



Maybe it would have gotten a bigger boost and grabbed my attention more if she would have gotten a few mainstream producers on it to add that extra "uuummmmphhh" to the songs. It needs that boost.



There are a few "ok" songs on here but, I strongly urge a good sampling of this release before you purchase it.

"I haven't been able to stop playing this album. I'm a big fan of Foxy Brown, and it has been a long time coming since she released her last album. Though regarded as a "mixtape/street album" people will still associate this with an album since it had a commercial release. Due to Foxy's incarceration last year, Foxy wasn't able to fully promote this album. When she was released, she wasn't too happy with the final product. That sucks! I like the album! Though its not by any means my favorite album but it knocks regardless. Casual fans of Foxy won't understand this release if they haven't followed Fox like longtime fans. I would definitely say this album is worth checking out for what its worth. It's not everyday we get any type of album for a female rapper. My hats off to Foxy for keeping female rap alive.
