Hip-hop hottie asks, "What would Tupac do?" On her third album, "Broken Silence," Brooklyn rap vixen Foxy Brown wants to be the female Tupac. First, she burns some bridges: She disses Jay-Z ("So what, he wrote some songs/I blew him up the same") and takes a mean view on the relationship between Tha Dogg Pound's Kurupt (her former fiance) and Blaque's Natina Reed (Kurupt's new fiancee): "Some ho's is always yappin' like I can't make it happen.../Especially pop-star bitches with the soft image/So what, I ain't wit' i'm/Bitch, he's off limits." And this all on one song - the hydraulic "7:30." Over some bodacious tracks, she employs Jamaican patois ("Na Na Be Like," "Run Dem"), slips oral sex past the censors (the buoyant "Candy") and is strong enough to be vulnerable on "Broken Wings," on which she sheds tears over her lost relationship with Kurupt, begs the Lord for deliverance and admits to suicidal thoughts. 'Pac would be proud. -KRIS EX 3.5/5
