Foxy Brown is not thrilled with her new album BROOKLYN DON DIVA that was released this week. According to Fox, the album was thrown together while she was in jail, and features artists shes never worked with or heard of. Foxy released a letter on her fan site regarding the album. Read the letter after the jump.
“MY PURPOSE IS FAR GREATER THAN MY PAIN”
(COURT CASES, DRAMA, RUMORS, CAR CRASHES, HEARING LOSS, MISCARRIAGE, BREAK-UPS, JAIL)……….. I’VE SURVIVED IT ALL. THAT’S WHY IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE THE NIGGAS I TRUSTED MY CAREER WITH BETRAY ME. “BROOKLYN’S DON DIVA” MY HIGHLY ANTICIPATED MIXTAPE CD IN STORES TODAY, WAS COMPILED DURING MY INCARCERATION AND RELEASED WITHOUT MY INPUT OR APPROVAL…..A BLATANT DISRESPECT TO MY ARTISTRY AND REPUTATION. AFTER HEARING “BDD” IN ITS ENTIRETY FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME LAST FRIDAY, I WAS DEVASTATED. I DECIDED TO SEEK LITIGATION AND FIRE CHAZ. REPETITIVE VERSES, 5YR OLD SONGS, AND ARTISTS IVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF, LEFT ME IN DISBELIEF. I COULDNT BELIEVE THE SHIT I WAS HEARING. SAY WHAT U WANT ABOUT ME, BUT NEVER IN MY 12YEAR CAREER HAVE I EVER DISAPPOINTED MUSICALLY. WHEN I EMBARKED ON MY CAREER IN 96′, I MADE THE CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO BUILD A GLOBAL BRAND THAT SUPERSEDES MUSIC, SO THAT MY RELEVANCY AND PERTINENCE TO RAP HISTORY WOULD FOREVER BE APPRECIATED. “BROOKLYN’S DON DIVA” IS MY BRAINCHILD, MY BABY, MY PRELUDE TO BLACK ROSES. I SPECIFICALLY TOLD THEM NOT TO RELEASE MY CD UNTIL I CAME HOME, COULD ORCHESTRATE IT PROPERLY, AND DELIVER THE PROFESSIONAL LEVEL OF PRODUCT YALL ARE ACCUSTOMED TO. NIGGAS VIOLATED. THE QUALITY IS ATROCIOUS. CHAZ BLAMED KOCH, AND KOCH BLAMED CHAZ. I BLAME MYSELF. I SHOULD’VE KNOWN BETTER THAN TO LET A NIGGA WITH A HIDDEN AGENDA AND ABSOLUTELY NO MANAGERIAL EXPERIENCE SPEARHEAD MY CAREER. YALL HAVE WAITED PATIENTLY FOR 7YEARS…..THE INTEGRITY OF MY BRAND IS TOO PRECIOUS TO BE COMPROMISED. NIGGAS VIOLATED. SO I MADE THE PERSONAL DECISION NOT TO SUPPORT THIS…..YALL DESERVE MY BEST. WHAT I LOOK LIKE, CHATTEL? I’VE NEVER TAKEN DISRESPECT FROM DEF JAM, I’M GONNA BE SUBJECTED TO IT FROM KOCH???? OF ALL PLACES??? NEVER.
I’M SUPRISED AT ALOT OF YALL THOUGH…… EVEN INSINUATING I WOULD RELEASE SOME BULLSHIT LIKE THIS IS AN INSULT. I’M FAR TOO INTELLIGENT TO ACCEPT FAILURE; SO I SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. NO RADIO, VIDEO, PRESS, NOTHING. AND PURPOSELY STAYED LOW. WHEN HAVE I EVER DROPPED AN ALBUM AND IT NOT BE AN EVENT? TRUST ME, I POP WAY TOO MUCH SHIT ON RECORDS NOT TO SELF-PROMOTE. MY MIXTAPE CD IS OF THE SAME PEDIGREE AS HOMEGIRL’S MS. G.O.A.T, AND BODIES THAT BULLSHIT IN COMPARISON! I LUV YALL, BUT DON’T NEED THE FICKLE ONES. SO IF ANYBODY CAN HAVE THE AUDACITY TO COMPLAIN ON A SITUATION WHERE I HAD NO CONTROL, YALL CAN BE THE FUCK GONE. I LOST ALL MY HEARING. JUST BEING ABLE TO PICK UP THE MIC AGAIN IS A MIRACLE. I WENT TO JAIL FOR 8MONTHS. EMERGED IN MY RIGHT MIND. I STRIVE FOR SELF-IMPROVEMENT EVERYDAY; MY MATURATION IS A JOURNEY. MY LIFE IS A BLESSING. I’VE MADE SOME MISTAKES, TOOK A FEW L’S, AND CRIED MANY TEARS. BUT GOD GOT HIS HAND ON ME. THAT’S WHY THEM PILLS COULDN’T KILL ME, CAR CRASH WOULDN’T KILL ME, AND JAIL DIDN’T KILL ME. I WAS CHOSEN. APPRECIATE ME WHILE I’M HERE.

it was gonna flop anyway whetehr she liked it…..
GOOD FOR HER, KOCH NEEDS MONEY SO THEY’LL DO JUST ABOUT ANY AND EVERYTHING, INCLUDING RELEASING HALF-ASSED MATERIAL… THIS IS GREAT THAT SHE SPOKE UP ON HER BEHALF… SHE WAS RELEASING A MIX-TAPE ANYWAY, NOT A FULL ALBUM. & SHE SHOULD BE PISSED BECAUSE THEY ARE RELEASING THIS LIKE IT’S AN ACTUAL BRAND NEW ALBUM… I WAS LIKE SHE HAS NO PRESS, PROMO, VIDEO TV, MAGZ INTERVIEWS OR NOTHING. ATLEAST SHE STANDS BEHING HER ARTISTRY AND HAS INTEGRITY !!! GO BACK TO DEF JAM FOXY, U WILL DO WELL THERE !!!!!!!!
“I BLAME MYSELF.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ……….
Good 2 see foxy is taken responsibility for herself. the album even wit the repeated verses is still a banga.. the hot tracks include “star cry” “she wanna rude bwoy” “bullet proof love” “we on fire” “the quan” “rumors of fox” .. i understand why she don’t wanna promote it tho cuz ppl will always see it as a full album not a mixtape.
koch put it out as a album when it was just supposed to be a mixtape.
but yeah fox still spittit fiyahh name another bitch hotta..she need to speak with thelifefiles!!

She recorded those wack joints. She has an excuse for everything.
This dumb broad just hates herself! She getting it confused with that crappy CD! lol.
We don’t care.
^^^ yes you do
The album is not bad for a mixtape minus the repeat versus. That whole thing threw me off. No wonder she did not promote it.
