Foxy Brown has learned valuable lessons from pals such as multi-platinum rappers Jay-Z and Puff Daddy. She also knows the street value of glittery champagne boasts and triple-X dreams. But on her long-awaited sophomore album, Brown, the 19-year-old MC who, along with Lil' Kim, has cornered the market on sex-positive rhyming also proves that it isn't all about bragging, balling, and b*tches. The Prada-wearing MC preaches to the converted in the spiteful, bouncing "Chyna White," a romp in which she chops out boastful lyrics and steely-eyed lines that equate a "bad b*tch" with uncut dope. Rough-edge rapper DMX also makes an unforgettable cameo on the grungy pop rap "Dog & Fox." DMX trades sex-play insults with Brown, who more than holds her own.
