I mean back when I was living in Brooklyn in the mid-ninties, and she was blowing up but still living with her moms there it was recognized that women were still getting pimped hard just trying to get studio time. <BR/><BR/>The stories that I heard at parties and over dinner tables of what those female artists endured would make anyone need therapy, especially if you went thru all that and still ended up back where you started?<BR/><BR/>Her full circle wasn't all that big, and it's not like she was extremely in the process, add a little drug habit and some inner demons and you get Foxy Brown!A.u.n.t.

L...I think foxy will come through all of this okay. Like someone else said, she came up too fast, with the money and the fame. It's hard enough for a regular young person to find themselves, let alone with all the media attention and pressure. She can either take the Mary J. Blige route, or she can take the Mike Tyson route.<BR/><BR/>I think it's really a maturity thing with foxy, when you look at the stupid stuff shes being caught doing. Fighting with people at a hair shop?? Throwing her phone at neighbors?... thats high school shit. <BR/><BR/>On the other subject, I ALWAYS think about that when I'm crossing the bridge, or anytime I'm in frisco for that matter.

Foxy<BR/><BR/>the thing that is most troubling for me is that she has the TALENT most female rappers WISH they had. i appreciate the skill & the grimey ish she kicks. but like Commish said, perhaps getting put on at such an early age effed with her head. who knows.<BR/><BR/>it is a bit unfair for her to soldier through this under the hotlamp of the media/ghetto grapevine. we know we LOVE to hate on folks just cuz it's thursday.<BR/><BR/>II. Rage<BR/>i have a few students who wake up angry. it's very scary how ill equipped they are to deal with their emotions. many of my students have seen way too much, way too soon (probably like Inga), and they had parents (or lacked parents) that never taught them HOW to deal, how to experience emotion, or how to behave. <BR/><BR/>many of my male students are...waiting to explode. i try to stand in that gap. give a hug (if they allow) or a pat on the shoulder to say, "you ARE valuable"...but who knows if they will remember my words/our words when the shit hits the fan.the prisoner's wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160398635149797677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-52797952169603482782007-09-20T17:14:00.000-04:002007-09-20T17:14:00.000-04:00Being on songs back in the mid 90s when she was 15...Being on songs back in the mid 90s when she was 15-16 yrs probably had something to do with it.

I can't wrap my head around these latest legal issues and its like dang girl when are you going to get it together? <BR/><BR/>I don't know if its something in her past or present that makes her this way...it'd be interesting to find out though.neohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482376355312549331noreply@blogger.com
