Brooklyn's Don Diva : Foxy Brown : Review : Rolling Stone

Midway through her fourth album, Foxy Brown claims that her "piss is clean" — a sensible thing to boast, since she's addressing her parole officer. Recently released after eight months in prison, the New York rapper spends much of Brooklyn's Don Diva covering her pre-jail legal problems and pesky media coverage: On "We Don't Surrender," she raps, "I got a 32-shot clip aimed at Page Six." Despite the tabloid-worthy subject matter, a couple of bangers are invigorating, with Foxy spitting fiercely over a dark, stomping beat on "How We Get Down." But she also gets stuck in rote braggadocio, going on about how her tits don't sag, and the succession of synth beats and unhooky hooks don't help. Diva was cut just before Foxy went to prison; perhaps the inevitable album covering her time in the clink will prove more compelling.
