This Is How It Should Be Done!

"While the intro "Chicken Coop" is corny and goes on for way too long, it somehow doesn't detract from the overall vibe and brisk pace of this great CD. These are 12 tight tracks, all brilliantly produced, somewhat derivative at times, but a pleasure to blast from your car or in your headphones. "The Promise" is probably my favorite track of all, a thumping, percussive track produced by and featuring Havoc of Mobb Deep.
The fine chemistry between these 2 MC's and their fluid delivery are flawless. "Get Me Home", a smooth, R&B laced collaboration with Blackstreet manages to be radio friendly without sounding watered down. "No One's" is another soul-flavored jam that samples an old 80's jam, but breathes new life into it and Foxy's understated flow compliments the lush backing track to perfection. The album's other big hit ("I'll Be" featuring Jay-Z)ends the LP on a high note and is another collaboration made in hip-hop heaven! Her 2 follow-ups have been less consistent, but when she debuted in 1996 with this fine collection, Foxy Brown raised the stakes for female MC's everywhere. Few have managed to live up to the challenge, including Ms. Brown herself. Personally, I'm awaiting another masterpiece."

"Seriously, this is a great Debut by a female rapper. This is the best female rapper out their---Lil'Kim can't touch The Ill NaNa--and wha! --Get me home and Ill be--the singles are off the chain--Ill na na and holy matrimony--are so tight and great jamming for the car--Please cop this--and dont forget about "chyna Doll" by foxy--10X better than her debut--which is rare to all artists--usually the 1st is better--but chyna doll kicks it--Ill Na NA is da bomb also"

"Foxy Brown is by far the greatest female rapper today and this album shows it! Her songs with Meth and Jay-Z are off the hook and Foxy's Bells has one of the tighest beats! This CD is a must get for any rap fan!"
