After serving eight months at the Rose M. Singer facility in New York's Rikers Island, Foxy Brown will be released from jail on April 18, according to her manager Chaz Williams.

"She did every single minute of her bid in jail, and she did it under the most severe conditions," Williams tells Billboard.com. "They had her on continuous lockdown just because she is a celebrity. They were trying to break her spirit."

Williams revealed that Brown, born Inga Marchand, is in talks with a couple of television networks for a potential documentary and reality show on her life.

Upon her release, Brown will also prep for the release of her oft-delayed album, "Brooklyn's Don Diva," now due May 13 via Black Rose Entertainment/Black Hand/Koch. "She's going to get on top of her career again. She's ready to hit the ground running and do anything she needs to do to get her career back on point," says Williams.

As previously reported, Brown was sentenced on Sept. 8, 2007, to a year in jail for violating her probation after several arrests, including an altercation with two nail salon employees in August 2004 and assaulting a neighbor with a BlackBerry cell phone.

Hey Chaz, if the b!tch behaved herself, she wouldn't be in jail. I love these managers.

Man that single she had b4 she went to jail was HHHOOOTTT though. "Lights Go OUt" with Kira... They should push that and give it a second chance. i also liked "Black Girl Lost". Same title from Donald Goines book, however I dont think the song was based on that story.

She was always really pretty. Drop the soap girl and see what happens.

Waste of talent. I think she has some skills and cute 2 boot.

Oh....that shit hop trash.

Hell, before I opened the thread, I thought to myself...."Pam Grier went to prison?"

vainandy said:

To me, Ms. Grier is the ONLY Foxy Brown, not this ghetto trash. I'm praying for the day she throws a cell phone at the wrong person.

uPtoWnNY said:

damn.....I'm slipping. I just realized that she was named after one of Pam's characters.

Exactly.

Yep. Hell, shit hoppers can't even come up with an original groove or melody of their own. What makes you think they can come up with an original stage name either?

vainandy said:

I know. Snoop Dogg is from Charlie Brown.

And Puff Daddy is from Puff the Magic Dragon.

Aye yo fox quick the pee-pee
On niggaz that's freaky
Have them cats Winan like Bebe and Cece
Ill Na Na, pussy hot like a sauna
Have yo dick doin' flips in my teddy by Gabanna

Love the rauchiness!

She had a couple of cute jams on her debut album but her and
lil kim have run their course in the industry. Just retire
already and do fashion for ester laudee or loreal or some shit.

pulling up an oldie thread: I Hope she does something else with jay z.

Wasn't it in the news a while ago that she was losing her hearing?

thekidsgirl said:

Guess she "got the hearing back".

In other words, "bitch wasn't deaf to begin with".

Timmy84 said:

wow, I was really feeling bad for her, but I guess thats a good thing that she's not deaf

some hearing loss is drug-related. Not saying hers was, but...

She'll only have another hit if Jay-Z ghostwrites her shit like he did on the debut and Biggie did for Lil Kim's. It was too funny that they had on the same outfit in their debut albums. How embarassing! But I always liked her real name, Inga Marchand, sounds like a stage name.

She's so irrelevent these days.I didn't even know she was in prison Seriously,she should get a job on one of those reality shows for has-been celebrities....The Surreal Life?

what they should do is make a show for all the "has beens" who don't think they are "has beens" and have the public vote each week like idol- and the hosts should be the biggest "has beens" of all (I won't say who i'm thinking) and maybe their careers will be revived as well.

interesting idea

dang the ladies don't stand a chance for long jevity in the rap business like the guys do. how come?

jay z ghost wrote a lot of foxy's music? I didn' know that because she came through ll cool j hearing her rap. doesn't mean there isn't some truth to jay z writing for her.

there are no ladies out there I hope they can make a comeback. JMO

That's so true.Missy Elliot is probably the only female hip-hop artist who's still relevant,to some degree.

I agree she found her a nitch.
