Lil kim VS Foxy Brown in PATOIS showdown Okay being from Toronto I have learned my share of Patois (Jamaican English Dialect).. which some think is ungrammatical English...much like ebonics. However being that most black folk in Canada are from the islands..this is our ebonics..
Anyhow BACK 2 the thread ..Listening to Lil Kim's song "Durty" on her new LP The Naked Truth.. I am now convienced mo' then ever that Lil Kim has surpassed Foxy on her skill w/ the patois.. I orginally thought that Foxy had it down pat w/ songs like Oh yeah, Run dem, Tables will turn..etc. But Lil Kim has really surpassed her Lighters up, Durty..pls. cameo's on Rupee's do the damn thing & makes no sense w/ tanya stephens... | |

I am still feelin Foxy Trini flava over Kim's Jafakin accent...it just sounds more believable with Fox...Kim to me seems like she is tryin to hard. I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.
I am not taína. Taíno is in me, but there is no way back. I am not european. Europe lives in me, but I have no home there. I am new. History made me. My first language was spanglish. And I am | |

Its more real to hear Foxy since she has it her blood (shes half Trini) but as far for Lil Kim she sure did her best in trying to sound Jamaican. But I do love them both but Foxy would have to win on this one. | |

Lil Kim does sound very very good in Duty (probably my 4th favorite track on the album)
BUT i still give it to Foxy for 1. Doing ti first.. 2. For getting it down pact to the point where I almost don't understand what she said and I have to rewind that. Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |
