It's a chilling feeling to know that one day this picture and this track will mean soooooooooo much one day. In due time...
Check this exclusive M.I.A. Paper Planes remix with Smash and Mickey.

Dear Foxy!

"FB, there ain't no equivalent, the flow is oh so belligerent.The hood love the style that I'm delivering, Fox is hip hop, they just can't rid of this..."


When Jay introduced you to us we became admirers, real dudes respected your raw capability of telling a dude who you were and what you demanded. At sixteen you fearlessly held it down for the brown girls, no heavy makeup just black lipstick, lip liner and hard looking jet black weave with the black gel sideburns (LOL).So GHETTO but we fell in love with it! To add to that The Firm gave you crazy street cred, spitting with Nas and AZ (so slept on...) When "Hot Spot" came out we we're optimistic, didn't really care that you and Kim we're beefing, seen it coming anyway. All we knew was that our girl was getting those MTV spins. Okay so couple months passed we didn't hear from you. You did a couple of features here and there but still no album. In between the anticipation that's when the turn started. Car accidents on Flatbush, hospital visits, run-ins with the law, random fights, court dates and cursing random people out. It definitely caught us off gaurd so we gave you the side-eye and focused on Kim so you could get the picture. The Queenbee was killing it during your break and we even bumped to Trina, had us on that Miami shit for a while (Why is NY so bias to other artist not from here, SMH). I'm guessing you took note and came out with, "BK's Anthem" ahhhhh we we're hype! In the video you had the army green Sean John baggy velour bugging on the stoop with your bro Gav, showed shots of dudes playing c-lo, and spitting in front of Junior's. The vid did a great job at embodying your core fans. It was a great look, we crossed fingers. Thanks to you your ex-boo Spragga for being an influence you blessed us with, "Oh yeah," and had us dubbing like crazy in the bashments. Of course we fell in love with the new style change because the beauty supply store couldn't keep the wet and wavy weave packs on the shelf. And we're loving the fact that you rocked that teacup pink lip gloss for every phot op. It was your summer but as always more of the bullshit started up again. After what seemed like your tenth hiatus we heard you got signed to Badboy then you teased us with, "Stylin," and made it necessary to style in burberry. After a while and album let down's it became normal to hear you we're cursing people out, walking up in people's establishments and being arrogant. You we're probably flipping that big hair all over the place. It got to a point where people didn't even care about you or your career. You became a laughing stock but when you'd randomly show up on Flex and spit a crazy free-style where he'd be dropping his famous bombs all night it'll always tell us you still reigned supreme. Thought your reunion with Hov and your hear loss would humble you but things didn't change.
The sad thing about it is that when it's all said and done we're not gonna remember you for your sick, authentic delivery, swagger or rhymes. Instead we're gonna remember you for your ever changing public disputes, jail sentence and leaked albums that never saw the light of day only on youtube, limewire and other music sites that got a hold of it.
Mayb'e I've been hard on you throughout this letter but I wonder how did it all get this way. Was it your early exposure to the game at which can be considered a fragile point in a young woman's life? I mean at sixteen you we're in a black see-through bathing suit rapping on "Ain't no Nigga," talking about paying commisary for your man and how your ish got you 5 carats and all that... Since I'm not sure I'm blaming it on growing up too fast, the press built beef between you and Kim who was once yor good friend, the pressures of being introduced by a male powerhouse like Jay and let go to rock on your own. Love and relationships, cause I'm sure it's hard having to deal with that in the public eye. I don't know if I should be tight but we need you Fox. I still grin when I hear you bust that mean patwa on songs fronting like your Jamaican, or when your hair is extra big with fushia flash nail polish! COME BACK, I guess I have to be receptive to your transitions but it's time to get your act together, it's a void in the game in terms of female rappers and there's some of us who haven't given up and know you can fill it.


Sincerely,
You're last remaining fans....


Let's reminisce, Look at her hair scattered all over the place in the first video! hahahahaha Gosh I love her, LOL!

Feeling a Lil' Nostlagic!!!!

It's 12 something and I'm thinking about how quick the summer is ending and of course that has me in the mood to kick back under the blankies (and yes that's without a hubby unfortunately LOL:( and watch my favorite movie, "Crooklyn." Earlier on I reminisced with my sister about how summer in Crooklyn use to be. I remember the times when we just lived to go outside and have fun. It was nothing like staying out until the street lights came on, playing "red light green light...," riding your bike in packs, feening for the ice cream truck to come up the block and having stupid arguments over double-dutch and who's hair was longer(LMAO). If you had a big family or lived on a crowded block full of other kids I'm sure you can reflect as well. Before we we're self-proclaimed hustlers up at the crack of dawn on the grind we all kicked it on the stoop of the neighbor that hated us from sun up and sun down playing truth or dare. Ahhhhhh and remember how we just reveled at the fact we could sneak feels and kiss behind the tree. And to think we didn't care if playing outside all day made us smell like sweat, cheese doodles,candy, dirt and sticky icies (LOL). Feels like yesterday right?...Fast forward to today and think about the responsibilities that we face as adults now, shitttt it's kind of hard to do that now. But, anyway I guess I'm missing that feeling a little bit.....

Here's two clips from Crooklyn!!!!!
