4.11.05- Foxy In Court Over Fight.
Hip-hop artist Foxy Brown turned up in Manhattan Criminal Court yesterday to face assault charges for allegedly punching and kicking two workers at a Chelsea nail salon who blocked the door after they claim she refused to pay for a pedicure last summer.

Brown, 25, whose real name is Inga Marchand, allegedly bashed Myoung Yi and Sun Ji Song about 10 p.m. Aug. 27 at Bloomie Nails on West 23rd Street after she got a pedicure, but was denied a manicure because of the late hour, prosecutors say.

"She refuses to pay and tries to leave," said Barbara Thompson, a spokeswoman for the Manhattan district attorney's office. The workers blocked the door, and then her car door.

Brown doesn't deny she got into a fight with the manicurists. But her attorney, Joseph Tacopina, said the first officer on the scene didn't notice any injuries on the workers. "This is someone trying to use the criminal justice system to extract money from a celebrity," Tacopina said.

Brown also denies that she wouldn't pay for the pedicure. She said she was charged for both a manicure and a pedicure and refused to pay the extra $20.

"They didn't give me the manicure," she explained outside the courtroom Monday.

She dismissed the idea that she would try to skip out on paying. "A $20 pedicure? Are you serious? Look at me," Brown said, sporting Chanel sunglasses, translucent white nail polish and a Dolce & Gabbana bag.

Brown said she's now focusing on an album she's doing with rapper Jay-Z. "I am trying not to be deterred by any negativity," she said. "Justice willing prevail."

The rapper was ordered by Judge Evelyn Laporte to stay away from the manicurists and return to court May 6.

    4.01.05- OK! ART of WAR is Just a Buzzer.
    Meanwhile, Foxy Brown has hit the streets with "Art Of War," her first record off the forthcoming Black Roses; set to drop on Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam. The cut, which features Just Blaze chopping up Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady," showcases Fox's usual bravado and plenty of big ups to her new boss. "So what the rass clot this?/Game over/Ill Na Na and the god Hova/Like Sebastian Telfair with the crossover/See my cadence is incredible/ I'm sort of like a born soldier," Fox spits. Both joints are buzz singles off Yayo and Brown's respective CDs dropping later this year.

    Updated 03.09.05- 'Brown denies manicure mayhem' (NY Daily News)

    Foxy Brown will fight a charge of assaulting workers at a Chelsea manicure shop last summer because she didn't beat anyone, her attorney said yesterday.

    "It's the most ridiculous thing ever. ... You have a celebrity of substantial wealth being set up for a civil claim," said Brown's lawyer Joseph Tacopina. "It'll either be dismissed or we're going to trial."

    Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, turned herself in at the 13th Precinct stationhouse Monday night after workers at Bloomie Nails on W. 23 St. complained about her behavior during a visit in August.

    The curvaceous rap star and Bloomie Nails workers tell different stories about the Aug. 27 incident.

    Tacopina said Brown offered money for her pedicure but refused to pay for a manicure she didn't get.

    But worker Michelle Kwak said Brown saw red when workers told her it was too late for a manicure and tried to leave without paying.

    "[Two people] stopped her and closed the door. ... [One] was punched and kicked by Foxy Brown," said Kwak, who also said her sister, salon owner Myoung Lee, 41, got bashed in the head with Foxy's cell phone.

    Updated 03.08.05- Foxy Surrenders! Broke Bitches Itching for Fame.

    Rapper Foxy Brown surrendered to police last night on a charge of assaulting a manicurist at a Manhattan salon last year after the worker charged her $20 for a pedicure she never got.

    Brown turned up at the 13th Precinct station house with her lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, to face the misdemeanor assault charge in the Aug. 27 incident at Bloomie Nails on West 23rd Street.

    According to Tacopina, Foxy wanted a manicure and a pedicure — but got only the manicure. When she refused to pay for the pedicure, two salon workers locked her inside the store and demanded cash.

    Foxy eventually got away from the women and flagged down a cop, who told her to pay for the manicure and leave.

    Tacopina claims that the two salon employees are trying to "use the criminal-justice system to extract money from Foxy."

    The two nailsmiths, whose names have not been released, went to police on the day of the incident, police sources said.

    Updated 03.02.05- Foxy's recording her complaints? Thats Right Fox, we aint Mad!

    Foxy Brown is steamed about published reports that she was ejected from downtown Manhattan's Chung King Studios last week over a money dispute. Lowdown hears that the razor-tongued rapper - who tiffed with powerful recording-studio owner John King over a claim of unpaid bills - is marshaling arguments for a brewing lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court.

    Her attorneys are looking at allegations of defamation of character and music piracy, says a source close to the rapper.

    Team Foxy's version: Back in 2003, bootlegged tracks from her album-in-progress "The Fever" leaked from Chung King Studios to the Internet before the record was released.

    The 25-year-old Brown - aka Inga Marchand - privately blamed King for the incident, Lowdown hears, but didn't make a fuss to preserve their professional relationship.

    Then, last week, the Brown camp was told that a second leak had occurred - this time in the form of bootlegged tracks from her upcoming album, "Black Roses."

    Lowdown hears that Foxy tried and failed to negotiate a resolution.

    Yesterday, King denied the allegations and told Lowdown he wants to work things out: "I love my clients with all their faults. Foxy has more personality than all the rest of them put together. She's a tigress."

    Reached for comment, a reluctant Foxy said: "Because there's pending litigation, there's not much I can say. ... I'm an artist whose material was stolen, and my concern, more than anything, is not a one-on-one with John King or the studio. My concern is so no other artist has to go through with this again. It kills your creativity and your workmanship!"

    As for allegations that Brown owes Chung King money, "Artists are never able to leave the studio with their master recordings without the studio being fully compensated," she said. "Let's just say that I've retained all of my masters."

    Updated 02.25.05- Foxy argues the toss. More Rumors Fly

    Police were called to eject Foxy Brown from Manhattan's Chung King Studios on Wednesday after the rap diva refused to leave, we have learned.

    The bootylicious Brown "was ordering everybody around and acting like the new queen of mean," a source told us. "She locked herself in."

    Eminem, Luciano Pavarotti, the Rolling Stones and Ricky Martin have all managed to record at the legendary studio without incident. But Brown "eats and sleeps at the studio, and she hasn't paid her bills. She owes tens of thousands of dollars," the spy tells us.

    A source close to Brown tells us: "The studio is owed money, but it's not money that Foxy owes out of her pocket. It will have to be settled between her producers and the studio."

    A spokeswoman for Brown's label, Def Jam, told us: "She was upset and didn't want to leave when they asked, because she was unsatisfied with how they had handled their security in the past and she wanted to make sure she had all of her masters."

    Owner John King refused to comment, but a police spokesman told us: "There was definitely a dispute there, and police were called."

    In My Opinion Def Jam needs to pay their bills. I wonder if this has something to do with the Fever, the Music business is crazy. Brown "eats and sleeps at the studio" but she doesn't pay her bills? Yeah Ok. I'm glad the studio owner hasn't commented. Miss. Jones also reported this Foxy news and she stated that she wanted to burry the hatchet between the two, and she wants to sit down with Foxy and have a respectable interview. It's about time Miss. Jones let that bulshit from seven years ago go.

    Due to a lack of news I decided to do some minor updates throughout the site. As you know we added the scans from Rides-Magazine last week. Along with the Rides Pictures I added some candid pictures from Spring Fashion Week in Manhattan, where Foxy attended the Zac Posen and Sweet Face (By: Jennifer Lopez and Andy Hilfiger) shows.

    I also decided to stream the newest mix-tape cuts from Foxy. I’m sure almost everyone has heard them by now, if not, check the exclusives section. I also added two interviews to the Exclusives section. The most recent interview is from January 25th when Foxy and Gravy had some real talk with DJ Clue. I also added Foxy Brown’s Power 99 Broken Silence release interview with Wendy Williams and Dj Colby Colb. This is one of those colorful interviews where Foxy demonstrates that she is that bitch, she’ll speak how she feels and she doesn’t have time for the bulshit… Be sure to check them out, more Foxy Brown Palace exclusives are on the way.

    Updated 02.16.05- Foxy denies Combs brushed her off! More Goodies?! Don't Forget! Check the New Wall Papers

    Rapper Foxy Brown doesn't need a publicist to spin her critics. She does it pretty well all by herself. The 25-year-old Brown, aka Inga Marchand, was so irked about Lowdown's report on Monday - suggesting that Sean Combs stood her up after the Zac Posen show in Bryant Park the other night - that she personally got on the phone to deny any alleged Diddy dis.

    "I never call about these stories, because half the time they're not true. The reason I had to get to the bottom of this is because the tone was completely ridiculous," she told Lowdown. "Nothing like that remotely took place - Puffy and I were laughing about it today."

    Ha, ha. So what really went down?

    "We were all front row at Zac Posen: Puffy and I and Jay-Z and Russell [Simmons]. Puffy told me, 'We're havin' a party afterward at Glo,' so I said I'd stop by. Afterward I went back to that W [Hotel VIP lounge] area, and some weirdo from W comes over and says, 'Foxy, Puffy says wait for him.'

    "And I thought, 'That's strange, because I just saw him and if he wanted me to wait, he'd E-mail me or text me on my BlackBerry.' And so I paid him no mind. In order to bring celebrities in they say, 'So and so is waiting for you.' So when I was done with my fruit punch - because I don't drink - I went to meet Naomi [Campbell] at Spice Market."

    Got it?

    Foxy added: "When people read stuff like that, people are thinking that Puffy and I had some sort of discord, and it gets tiring."

    As for Combs' alleged line "Foxy who?" when he was reminded that she was supposedly waiting around for him, Brown insisted, "'Foxy who?' would never come out of Puffy's mouth!"

    Updated 02.15.05- AllHipHop.com wants to Know if Foxy's Album Has LEGENDS!? More Goodies?! Thats Right, Check out the New Wall Papers
    We have good news on this Valentine’s Day 2005. Foxy Brown is working on a new album and its looking like it’s the same temperature as blue fire. Black Roses, the working title, is supposed to feature Jay-Z, Dido (remember “Stan”), Mos Def, Barrington Levy, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, KRS One and her lyrical predecessor Roxanne Shante. We can’t imagine an album this dope from a commercial rapper, but that’s the word. Word is, her and Bleek are sparring with who should come out first, but it appears that Bleek is going to win this won. We’ll gladly wait.

    Seems like Foxy is getting attention everywhere these days. Every move she makes is reported and this is exactly what I want to see. Hater's can say what they want, but there is something special about Foxy, and that something separates her from every other female rapper. I can't even call what it is but i know this, everytime Fox is about to do something everyone is feinging and talking about it and when your gone for four years, that is Amazing!

    Updated-02.14.05- Why Foxy got huffy over Puffy
    At the Zac Posen fashion show in Bryant Park the other night, Lowdown hears, His Diddyness passed word to the 25-year-old Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, to meet him in the W Hotel's VIP lounge after the show.

    Reports a Lowdown spy: "Foxy was waiting in there with her assistant, having a drink. She kept asking when Puffy was coming back to see her. She kept pacing around and was getting huffy."

    Eventually, handlers reminded Combs - who was basking backstage with Posen, the designer for his Sean Jean clothing line - of his engagement.

    Says the spy, "They told him Foxy was getting antsy in the lounge, and he was like, 'Foxy who?' And then he rolled his eyes and was like, 'Whatever,' and left with his entourage out the backstage door - which is like 10 feet away from the W lounge. She was obviously miffed about the whole thing."

    A spurned Foxy showed up later with Naomi Campbell at Combs and Posen's after-the-afterparty at nightclub Glo.

    Combs' PR rep told Lowdown that Foxy had actually been invited to a third party - this one for MAC cosmetics.

    "I'm sure there was a misunderstanding," said the rep. "Puffy invited Foxy to join him after at the MAC party and his own party to celebrate Zac's success at Glo."

    Foxy Brown was also listed in Suede Magazine's Fab 40 in Fashion. In the magazine they discuss Foxy being in the game for 10 years, how she only plays by her rules and how whenever someone else goes right, Foxy goes Left, with that the Fur Line was discussed. They mentioned how the line features two Brands the Upscale Marchand Line which was taken from Foxy's last name and the more affordable Foxy Brown Line. It's an interesting snippet, and it's good to see her name back out there!

    Foxy Brown Throws A Hissy Fit (Source: www.sohh.com)
    Inside sources told us that Foxy Brown rolled up in the New York offices of Rides magazine this week in a fury. The rap diva, who recently signed back to Def Jam Records, rolled into the offices ranting and furious that the shot the editors selected for the March cover was unflattering.

    Updated- 01.25.05 Fox & Grav were Up at Hot97 with Clue last night having "Real Talk."
    Whoa, Last night Foxy got into some serious issues with her situation, her album, her beefs, who she respects, how she feels about the game and so much more. Foxy got her Swagger back and she don't know how to Act!

    Black Roses is going to be Bananas people. Foxy has a nice amount of collabo’s on the album. Jay-Z is on a song or two, Dido is featured on "the Letter Part II". Also Roxanne Shante, KRS-one, and Rakim teamed up and are on a Remix to the Club banger Magnetic. She also will have a joint with her boy Gravy on the album, Gravy is like the ruffest rhymer out of BK right now. Barrington Levy is on the album as we all know he is one of Foxy's close friends and they will continue the Yard Hip Hop thing on "Oh Yeah Pt. II" and Mos Def will also make an appearance on the album, the title for that cut is still unknown.

    Foxy also touched on some broke bitches, Does Remy ring a Bell? Yes, thats the bum bitch. Fox let Remy know that she isn’t concerned with her, I mean after all she came in the door "32 grams raw" and that was at the age of 15 which was 10 years ago. Foxy is definitely serious this time around, she is purchasing estates handling her business and the God Jahova has her back when it comes to the Music. On a better note Foxy shouted out Lauryn Hill, Babs and the Up and Coming Donna Black! She said Babs is great she loves her and the respect she has, we already know L-Boogie is her girl and she said Donna Black is insane on the Mic!

    A Firm Reunion may be in the near future people! That’s right, Jay is trying to organize something between Nas, AZ and Cormega the original Firm members for Foxy’s album! And People say Jay ain’t riding for Fox? Hmmmm. All I know is Fox is Focussed she was freestyling like a beast and she sounded happy and comfortable and if you didn’t know if your looking for some Pizza or Coffee in Brooklyn you can stop by one of Foxy’s Papa Johns or StarBucks. Oh and for all the Guys that wanna Holla at Fox, she's 25 and Single and ready to mingle for the first time in her Career, she's the ultimate Dime to have by your side!


    Update: 01.21.04- Seems like Foxy is back on her Mixtape grind.

    Updated 01.11.05 -Happy New Year Foxy Brown is the First Lady of the Roc.
    Last Night Foxy was up at Flex's show with Jay-Z the President/ CEO of Island DefJam Records, ower of the Roca-Fella company. That's right yall Jay will still be the CEO of RocaFella even after his time as the CEO of DefJam expires. Dame is also out of the loop this time. Before Foxy even arrived Jay spoke on how her or Bleek would be the first to drop albums underneath the leadership of Jay-Z, I see some good things about to happen. Like they say good things come to those who wait. And we've waited 3 years!

    When Foxy arrived she spoke on many things, but briefly. She wasn't letting too much out of the bag for once. I will have the interview up in a few days on the exclusives page. We finally have a solidified deal, and we know Jay is with it! I knew Fox was gonna come back and you can be sure Jay will only let her do it the right way. Once the new design uploaded all the audio will be restored. I plan on having it finished by this weekend, the latest Monday. It's definately worth the wait for the Audio. I got some exclusive Foxy Audio from when Foxy was in London as well. the Foxy Brown Palace and Foxy Brown are taking over in the '05.

    "It's not a Threat, it's a Promise."

    Mtv's Official Report- Jay-Z Brings Pal Foxy Brown Back To Def Jam (7:54 PM EST)

    Signing is his first since becoming label's president and CEO.

    Jay-Z's barely had time to print up new business cards, but already Def Jam's new president and CEO has signed an artist to the label: Foxy Brown.

    Foxy's reps aren't giving away too many details right now, but they said she's been in the studio working on her next album (see "Foxy Brown Planning Comeback With Help From Jay-Z, Shyne") and that she spent part of Tuesday in the Def Jam offices.

    Foxy and Jay's official reunion certainly comes as no surprise. She performed several dates with him during both the Best of Both Worlds and "Jay-Z and Friends" tours last fall, and even before that, Fox was telling everyone that she was going to be a part of Jay's S. Carter imprint — an imprint that has yet to come into existence in light of the rap mogul's new Def Jam job (see "Jay-Z, Dame Dash Sell Roc-A-Fella Records; Jay Named Def Jam Prez").

    After her last LP, Broken Silence, dropped on Def Jam four years ago, Foxy recorded an LP called Ill Nana 2: The Fever, which was never released (see "Foxy Brown Claims She's Misunderstood, Collaborates With Lauryn Hill On New LP"). She then left her only recording home and has been in the lab recording material for an album tentatively titled Black Roses. Barrington Levy, Dido and Luther Vandross are among her collaborators on that material.

    Besides Foxy's new LP, projects on the horizon under the Def Jam umbrella include records from 112, Mariah Carey and Memphis Bleek.

    12.14.04- False Reports on Page Six, Site Updates & Foxy going back to DefJam?!?!
    Foxy Brown is once again mistreating retail minions. We hear she cursed out a salesman at David Z's in SoHo last weekend, after he was slow to let her in the store after hours. Last September we reported how the hip hop horror-show terrorized staffers at the Louis Vuitton flagship, allegedly beat a nail salon girl with her cellphone and called a Barney's staffer a "stupid baby" because she couldn't find the size Brown was looking for.(Sunday 12/12/04)

    Well it Looks like Page Six is spreading their False news again, as confirmed by Foxy and Louis Vuitton those reports were originally false. These are false too. Other sites feel differently but I think they are wrong too! If Foxy Brown was widling in a Store she would have been arrested. The writer of Page Six is losing his mind.

    I apologize to those who recently signed up at my new Blazin' Forum. The web server was having a problem with my bandwidth, everything will be back up by Friday along with the Exclusives that were made unavalible.

    The NY Times Reported that Jay-Z is the CEO of DefJam as of January 3rd.
    Under the terms of the three-year deal, Mr. Carter can also sign a limited number of artists to his own Def Jam-distributed venture, likely under the Roc-A-Fella imprint. Mr. Carter said in an interview yesterday that the first artist he planned to sign was the rap artist Foxy Brown. As a label executive, he will likely earn in the range of $8 million to $10 million over the course of the contract, depending on the performance of Def Jam and his imprint, said executives close to the deal.

    If you saw Jay-Z's "Fade to Black" over the weekend, or were lucky enough to cop tickets to his "farewell" concert at Madison Square Garden last November, then you saw the show that not only spurred a reunion for him and R. Kelly, but the historic show that instigated Hov and Foxy Brown to start rolling like Bonnie and Clyde again.

    "I think that sparked the whole, 'Oh my God, they love us,' " Foxy said during a recent mixtape shopping spree in New York. " 'Cause we didn't [do anything together] for a couple of years, it was so unexpected. He kept saying, 'I got Kells coming out, I got Beyoncé,' they never expected Foxy. I tell you, I never saw 30,000 mutha----as roar like that in my life."

    If you ask Foxy, she'll tell you she's signed to Jay's S. Carter Records and that together, she and the Jiggaman will be unstoppable in 2005. (Jay says nothing is solidified on the business end.) "It's '96 again," she boasted, referring to the year she and Jay dropped their first albums.

    "This is a rebuilding process for me," she continued. "The streets are begging for me to come back. They gotta listen to these bullsh-- female artists right now. They just gotta settle right now, and I don't think hip-hop should have to settle. They had a great teacher, but mommy's home right now. When I come back, it's a problem. I'm so back. I'm knocking out five joints a night — I'm a complete beast right now."

    Foxy said ever since she left Def Jam last year in the wake of what she called mishandling of her never released Ill Nana 2: The Fever (see "Foxy Brown Claims She's Misunderstood, Collaborates With Lauryn Hill On New LP"), she's been wooed by everyone from 50 Cent to Shyne to Jay-Z.

    "I sat down with every [label] president. They are like, 'Boogie, what do you need? You know how to make a hit record.' That's the bottom line. We been doing that since '95. It's a formula. You know me, I thrive off of controversy. I thrive off n---as talking. I get a kick out of that. Whatever I make has to be so serious, it has to be ridiculous. I gotta shake New York up."

    And to do so, Foxy has a new album mapped out. She plans on calling it Black Roses and has guest appearances lined up from Luther Vandross, Dido, Jay-Z, Mos Def and Shyne (see "Foxy Brown Stays Tight With Shyne, Wants Jay-Z For Hip-Hop-Reviving Trio").

    "My best friend Barrington Levy has a song called 'Black Roses,' " she explained. "He's been traveling all over the world and never seen a black rose in no other garden. When he found his black rose, he knew that sh-- was special. Y'all n---as can have all the female rappers in the world, but there's only one black rose. I feel that's me.

    "I make my best records in pain," she added. "When I'm happy, you're getting the party joints. When I'm bleeding, you're getting the 'Open Book,' the 'Broken Silence.' You're getting the real grimy dark records. The Black Roses album, when I tell you it's a monster, Black Roses is a problem. Luther sings 'The Letter' over. Me and Dido are crying like, 'Give me one more chance, one more kiss.' I got Barrington Levy, Hov, Mos Def. I'm bleeding on this album. I do the reggae sh-- on this album. I'm bleeding, it's crazy."

    There is still no release date for Foxy's project.

    Foxy Brown: '2005 Is Gonna Be A Great Year'
    By Jigsaw and Nolan Strong
    Date: 10/15/2004 5:18 pm
    Foxy Brown's signing to S. Carter Records was welcoming news to the Hip-Hop community and while its official, the female rap mistress has been selfish with details.

    “I can't comment on the deal with S. Carter. What I can tell you is between The Fugees, Foxy Brown and Jay-Z, 2005 is about to be the great year in Hip-Hop,” she told AllHipHop.com.

    Prior to an abrupt departure from Def Jam, she completed Ill Na Na 2: The Fever, an album critically regarded as her finest work, even though it was bootlegged and leaked on the internet. Brown recorded the shelved album for Def Jam, before becoming embroiled in a feud with Lyor Cohen, who was chairman of the label at the time.

    “There's no more Fever album,” Brown told AllHipHop.com. “That's on Def Jam and I left them a year ago. I'm in a new situation.”

    The new situation she is referring to is her signing to S. Carter Records, the latest venture by Jay-Z.

    Sources stated that Brown received a $500,000 advance, but she refused to comment on the details of the deal. Jay-Z, whose real name is Sean Carter, heads up Roc-A-Fella Records with Dame Dash and Kareem “Biggs” Burke.

    Rumors of a strained relationship between Jay-Z and Dame Dash have been reported for over a year, even though both deny a rift between each other.

    Jay-Z has increased his holdings outside of Roc-A-Fella over the last few years. His businesses include his S.Carter sneaker collection with Reebok, the S. Carter Records label, the 40/40 club and a minority stake in the New Jersey Nets.

    Sources also stated that Jay-Z is looking to move into the world of boxing, expressing interest in upcoming Olympic boxer Devin Vargas, as part of a possible deal with cable premium channel HBO.

    Reports have been circulating that the Roc-A-Fella label is close to being sold to Def Jam, in a deal that is estimated to be valued between $10 and $20 million, reports say. Other numbers have soared to $40 million or more.

    When recently asked by Newsday about Jay-Z's status with Roc-A-Fella, Dame Dash remained elusive.

    "Those are just rumors," Dash said. "But if Jay-Z leaves, he leaves."

    Updated 10.12.04 - Foxy's label status burning the papers!
    Foxy has been doing her media rounds. Attending Birthday bashes, Award Shows, she is going to Appear on Jay-Z's DVD, Documentary Fade to Black and also his and R. Kelly's Best of ... Pt. II.

    Page Six Reports.
    In other diva-stating news, Foxy Brown is living large again.

    Jay-Z's S. Carter record company recently gave the comebacking rap minx a $500,000 advance for her upcoming album, and Foxy asked that half of it be in cash.

    Our tipsters report that Foxy stuffed the quarter-million in a brown paper bag, promptly drove to a Long Island Bentley dealership and bought a silver Bentley GT.

    10.04.04 Foxy Attends Hip Hop Honors Show, Al Sharpton's Birthday Party

    Foxy Brown attended VH1's Hip Hop Honors Show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on Sunday, October 3. She and Wyclef Jean presented an award together during the ceremony, which will Air on VH1 Tuesday, October 12 at 9:00PM EST .

    Visit VH1.com for additional air dates.

    Earlier that afternoon, Brown had attended Al Sharpton's 50th Birthday celebration at the Apollo Theatre, paying tribute to the preacher and political leader alongside P. Diddy, James Brown, and others.
    "He says what he feels, he means what he says, and he acts on it. He has marched, has been jailed, and many times maligned in his fight for recognition of the downtrodden," Foxy said of Sharpton.
    Citing civil rights activists Martin Luther King Jr. and A. Philip Randolph, Foxy went on to call Sharpton "our present-day link to our great leaders who have gone on to glory." Following the event at the Apollo, Foxy also attended an after party held at Milieu.

    In other news, Foxy's fur collection has gained mention in several prominent publications, including the November issue of W magazine, October 11 issue of Newsweek, October 4 issue of People, and various daily newspapers. The fur line, which includes the Marchand and Foxy Brown brands, should be arriving in stores soon.

    Foxy Brown Signs With S.Carter Records
    By Nolan Strong and Raze
    Date: 10/2/2004

    According to sources, rapper Foxy Brown has signed a deal with Jay-Z's new label, S. Carter Records.

    A source revealed that the deal has not been officially announced, because Carter has not settled on a distribution deal for his new imprint.

    “Lyor [Cohen] was with Jay-Z in Chicago on tour and LA Reid was with him soon after,” a source speaking under the condition of anonymity told AllHipHop.com. “He is getting offers from everybody but since the Roc-A-Fella deal is not really done nothing can be made official.”

    The signing would reunite the Brooklyn pair, both of whom at one point were both under contract to Def Jam.

    In previous reports, LA Reid made it known that he was seeking to buy the Roc-A-Fella imprint from partners Dame Dash, Kareem “Biggs” Burke and Jay-Z.

    Sources stated that deal hit a snag because the Roc-A-Fella partners felt the amount Reid was offering, which is stated to be around $20 million dollars, is too low for the label.

    In early 2003, Brown had a nasty public falling out with former Def Jam chairman Lyor Cohen. The two clashed shortly after Brown re-signed with Def Jam Records in a joint venture with Sean “P. Diddy's” Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment.

    She also negotiated an Ill Na Na Entertainment label deal with the Universal Music Group.

    Her highly anticipated album Ill Na Na 2: The Fever was shelved and eventually Foxy was released from her contract with Def Jam.

    Cohen later departed from his Island Def Jam position and now heads up the North American operations of Warner Music Group, taking top executives Kevin Liles and Julie Greenwald with him and LA Reid took over Island Def Jam.

    Brown has kept busy, launching a line of custom furs and accessories and is currently developing a reality series for MTV. Album details were not available as of press-time.

    8.22.04 RAPPING UP $$ -- Foxy Brown hasn't released a record in three years and her label, Def Jam, dropped her about a year ago. But it doesn't mean she's not still in business.

    Next month, Alexis & Gianni furrier begins distributing the Foxy Brown Luxury Furs collection to stores across the country.
    "She's young and sexy. People of all ethnicities and economic groups will want to wear her furs," said Bijan Khozooie, Alexis & Gianni's chief operating officer.
    Increasingly, a record deal isn't the only contract a rapper signs.

    Promoting and creating new products has become standard operating procedure for artists whose shelf life is slightly longer than warm brie.
    "They are incredible business thinkers. Working the American machine is what they are doing. I think part of their art is controlling their checkbooks," said Bryan Mattox, an advertising executive at Burrell Communications. "They are artists of the deal."

    In some cases, rappers are promoting products before they even have released an album.

    The Game, a member of 50 Cent's G-Unit rap group, is set to drop his first CD in October, yet he could be found posing in Reebok advertisements.
    "Just the fact that he is doing business with 50 Cent and 50 is such a good partner for us means that we will probably do business with him," said Que Gaskins, the head of Reebok's Rbk division, the home of shoes by 50 Cent, Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams.

    Both Burrell and Reebok's market research found that rappers are the most efficient vehicles to reach a wide swath of consumers — black, white, affluent and working class — who are willing to pay to echo the lifestyles of their favorite MCs.
    Reebok enjoyed a 350 percent increase in sales of Rbk shoes between 2003 and 2004.

    When she signed her first record contract at 15, Foxy Brown made an effort to turn herself into a brand.
    Sitting in the front row of fashion shows, being a fixture at all the right parties, maintaining a sexy appearance and playing out rivalries in public kept Foxy from fading away from the public's memory when she didn't have a record to support.
    Her fans will buy furs, handbags and DeCarlo jeans from Foxy Brown, the label, in the same way that shoppers will rush to buy a new scent of their favorite brands of fabric softener.

    "I wanted to create a global brand that superseded any record that I could ever make. I don't want my relevancy to just be tied to a record. I want to always be able to go to premieres and be photographed on the red carpet and be on Page Six, to still be necessary and relevant," Foxy said.
    "This is progress. All of the ambitious rappers who surround themselves with smart people will have a diverse portfolio of products," said James Cruz, vice president of marketing and promotions for Violator Management.

    P. Diddy is the consummate promoter who has launched the careers of many artists. Now he has a designer fashion label and is opening stores to further his brand.

    "There are no 50-year-old rappers, so the smart artists are looking out for their futures."
    The influence of rap can be seen outside fashion. Lil Jon along with his partners the East Side Boyz have been making noise since the 1996 but didn't get mainstream attention until he was featured on Usher's ubiquitous "Yeah" last year.

    Now that his name has Power, Lil Jon is racking up product endorsements.

    A good-time aura led Oakley to enlist Lil Jon to create red camouflage Zero sunglasses, among other products. Lil Jon's frenetic posture made him a natural front man for an energy drink called Crunk!!!, the name of a rap style that, like him, has its roots in the South.

They gotta listen to these bullshit female rappers out there. They just gotta settle right now. Hip-hop shouldn't have to settle. Everybody's like 'Boogie, come on.' When I come back, it's a problem. When Shyne comes back, it's a problem. They already know Jay's a problem. [Forming a trio] was Shyne's idea, actually. He was like, 'You know how crazy it would be?' I was like, 'If it's right, I'm with it.' Shyne's with it and if Jay's with it, it'll materialize into something incredible." Visit MTV.com for the full article.
