6. Foxy Brown
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX_b8v4hywk Inga DeCarlo Fung Marchand aka Foxy Brown has released three rap albums to her name and has collaborated with many of the industry's greatest artists. However she seems to be a total bitch in her personal life - clocking up many arrests and jail time - for randomly assaulting half the world. I'm sure this has interfered with her career which is a pity because technically she is a good rapper. Foxy does though, seem to be in competition with Lil Kim to see who can be the sluttiest, biggest bitch in Hip Hop. Foxy was signed to Def Jam records in 1996 when she was a mere 17 year old girl. She released her debut album Ill Na Na in 1996 to mixed reviews but excellent sales. The album featured the hit songs Get Me Home and I'll Be. There were a lot of big names collaborating on the album including Jay Z, Blackstreet and Method Man. Her next album Chyna Doll did not produce any singles of note but was declared platinum. Her third album 2001's Broken Silence went gold but her long awaited fourth album Ill Na Na 2 was shelved following a lot of ugly business with the President of Def Jam records. Rumour has it she is working on material with Nicki Minaj. That should be something worth hearing and it would mightily piss off Lil Kim!
