foxy .vs. kim, again
I was going to post a comparison/contrast piece about Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown in reference to "Lighters Up," and "Come Fly With Me," but emynd @ somanyshrimp already beat me to it. Great post.
I'd just add that Foxy Brown is of Trinidadian ancestry, which has influenced her dancehall-like lyrical flow since day 1. Also, Lil' Kim attempted to frolic over a Calypso beat on "No Matter What They Say," back in 2000. But as emynd intimated, Brooklyn's large Caribbean expat populataion plays a position, as does the ever-popular VP Records and Reaggaeton faction.
And don't we just hear Foxy taking all kinds of jabs @ Lil' Kim - she's using her ad libs, a similar cadence, and even barbs: "I'm a Bad Girl but I ain't signed to Puff." Lil Kim' sounds ready on Naked Truth: "Jacki-O proved you far from a fighter/ ... I'm not gonna come at you, I'm gonna come at your ghost writer."
Looks like it's time for an all out P-Cutta Street War. Anybody keeping score?

What kills me is that Foxy and Kim's audience have matured while the two of them are still engaging in this tired beef that is practically 10 years old. The worst thing is when artists think they've changed it up by experimenting with new sounds but refuse to experiment with new material.

I love FOXY.. and don't think that remark about her being a bad girl.. and not signed to Puff. is a shot to Lil Kim a.k.a 087954.. Lil Kim is not even signed to Bad Boy, although she acted as if she was.. more so.. that statement dealt with the issues Foxy and Puff had when workin on a CD together..

Foxy hasn't had an album out since 2001, and she's still one of the most talked about, kept in other female rappers mouth, envied rapper. That just show you how much of an impact she had on these chicks just starting like, remy, jackie o, and others that didn't make an album yet. I feel that they fear foxy. I respect Kim, but she is always doing stuff to keep her name in the media, plastic surgery, looking stupid, going to jail, etc..and she's gangsta for this. Kim is setting a bad example to young black ladies, making them feel like they have to be fake to be beautiful. Fox is naturally hot and obviously unforgettable.

I believe that lil kim can spit better rhymes than foxy brown. Yeah, she might had couple of surgerys, but at least she ain't going to court because they messed up her nails, what kind of influence is that, now you tell me~!!!!!!!!!

Well, Both of the ladies are in the hardcore rap arena. this style of rap originated on the westcoast. Who does the westcoast recognize the most between the 2 ladies? You already know! The Queen B. Lil Kim get's money. A little smarter. She started this sexy femal rapper. Big acknowledged her, 2 pac address her on the Makeveli Album. What?

i feel like foxy brown is a more better rapper then lil kim because if you pay attention lil kim repeats herself on her lyrical messages that she deliver but foxy switch up her style with more advance material then lil kim foxy is intelligent
