Down with the Brown



Would that it were. Foxy Brown recently returned from a stint in Riker's Island, and after hearing her CD I believe I know how it feels to spend time in prison. I reviewed it in this week's SF Weekly.

Naturally, Foxy Brown is the object of Ali G's affections. With her foul mouth and short skirt, she epitomizes the fake gangstaism he parodies...


"My na na na tastes like Jamaican kiki," she tells us on "When the Lights Go Out," in a classic example of too much information. And that's one of the better tracks. Elsewhere the material sounds dated for having sat on the shelves while she finished her bid. "She Wanna Rude Bwoy," for example, features that ubiquitous Vocoder device; unfortunately, it isn't the T-Pain kind but rather the Eiffel 65 kind.

You can read the rest of the review here.

You have Alanis Morisette ads on your site now. Great. Next you are going to have Jamaican kiki ads. Those are getting no click-throughs, bro.

I'm going to nail both of their kiki flavored asses.
