I’m familiar with the singles, but this will be my first time listening to Ill Na Na in its entirety. The album would produce three charting singles, one which would earn a gold plaque (more on that in a bit), and Ill Na Na would receive platinum certification less than three months after its release.īroken record moment: I didn’t buy Ill Na Na when it came out in ‘96, but I bought a used CD copy at least a decade after its release. Ill Na Na would debut at number seven on the Billboard Top 200, selling 107K its first week of release, and making Foxy the first female rapper to debut an album in the top ten. Since Trackmasters were her entry point into the game, it comes as no surprise that they would be responsible for producing the majority of Ill Na Na, and along with Jay-Z, would help write a large portion of the album as well. With a pretty impressive cameo resume under her belt, Foxy would eventually sign with Def Jam, releasing her debut album, Ill Na Na. That impressive cameo would open the door to more opportunities for the Brooklyn-bred rapper, as she would appear on Case’s “Touch Me, Tease Me” from The Nutty Professor Soundtrack, the “Groove Remix” for Toni Braxton’s “You’re Makin’ Me High, Jay-Z’s “Ain’t No Nigga,” and she would join Nas, AZ, and Cormega as the First Lady of the supergroup, The Firm, making their collective debut on It Was Written’s “Affirmative Action,” where she would infamously spit some questionable drug math. Smith, they saw Foxy performing at a Brooklyn talent show and were so impressed by her performance they invited her to the studio to jump on the remix that would match her up with Uncle L, Prodigy, Fat Joe, and Keith Murray. Legend has it that while the production team, Trackmasters, were working on Mr. Johnny Mercer feat.The first time I ever heard Foxy Brown rhyme was on LL Cool J’s “I Shot Ya (Remix)” from the Mr. Johnny Mercer and The Pied Pipers When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floor Johnny Mercer When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floor Jo Stafford & Johnny Mercer When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floor Jimmy Van Heusen When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floor John Yeah, I'm just sittin' in the lab, I'mĮydie Gormé When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floorįrank Sinatra When Madame Pompadour was on the ballroom floor, Visit both and his official websites.Īnn-Margret & Al Hirt When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floorĪnthony Newley When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floorĬelentano and Mina Ho cercato invano e tu lo saiĭinah Shore When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floorĭr.

Subsequent releases on the MCA label, solo and with the group Cabo Frio, were less successful. In 1987 he recorded a duet with Sheena Easton, "What If We Fall in Love", which appeared on Easton's album, No Sound But a Heart. He also had some lesser hits, including "Diana" (1986), but his career stalled when his record label collapsed. After a couple of less successful follow-ups, he hit #1 again a year later with "Don't Say No Tonight". In 1984 he joined Philly World Records, and wrote and recorded his first hit, "Gotta Get You Home Tonight", which rose to #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and also made #18 on the UK Singles Chart. He had sex with a hooker and then decided to call it the Wilde Flowers of sex. He changed his name after seeing an advertisement in a newspaper for a nightclub which he had gone to the night before.
