Lmaoo he thought he was slick , he was making Foxy hot check how he smirk when Fox ignored Liz question about trackmasterz lmaoo but believe it or not I met foxy brown in a whole foods store in manhattan . She was real cool and down to earth
This project had to flop because the style is not desirable to the elite. They don't want the youth to aspire to look like these young men(at the time) or talk like them. Another reason is the wordplay, the first bars alone. 200 fallen angels balling from every angle. That shit can't be mainstream in their eyes. One of the reasons why NY rap is dead. Too descriptive
The album flopped because every major label had their hand in the cookie jar, as far as that album goes. Nobody (The Labels) wanted to meet half way, when it came to splitting the money. So the labels just chose to dump the project. Look at the back of that album, there's a million record label logos.
It was prolly because it showcased all star talent from production (dr.dre) and heavy hitting rappers..i think people were expecting something we've never heard before...and its about style the firm with east coast flavor my have struggled with wesy coast boogie sound look how Rakim and Dre had creative differences. Still a good album the firm that is
They never got into a fight people just got in there ear and they were no longer friends. They were supposed to do a song together called Thelma and Louise but that or them doing anything together will probably never happen
Thank you! I've been trying to find that song for years! I remember being 16 in '97, hearing that, and thinking it was the T.O.N.Y remix. Thank you because you are the ONLY one to clear that up for me. Peace.
I just commented about how I been bumpin' Nas' Greatest Hits or some shit and somebody hit me with this.For the record,I definitely didn't sleep on Firm Biz.
Onyl if they did an album like Az and Nas' mo money mo homicide,Life's a bitch,affirmative action or La familia that featured Cormega. That album would have got mad love in the streets but sold even less records.
When lez asked foxy that question why did she kind of smirk and look away? Nas peeped it, cause he king smiled. What was that about? Foxy syrrsufht ignited her. I thought it was rude as fuck.
See that VLADTV?? Professional journalism. Not sitting there asking rappers about their crime life and affiliation with the streets. Just how they put together a dope album, their craft, and the producers involved. VladTV ain't Hip Hop. It's a tabloid show.
Nah Foxy is actually cool. I met her in a whole foods in Manhattan . She actually was real humble and nice, i dont know how her attitude was back then though
I was 25 Years Old in 1997, in my Young Adult PRIME !!!!!!! and NYC HIPHOP , RnB & REGGAE CLUBS was on FIRE !!!!!! lol I was literally going out PARTYING every Weekend, and i do mean on FRIDAY NIGHTS, SATURDAY NIGHTS & even SUNDAY NIGHTS, still making it do work tired & sleepy as hell on MONDAY mornings, , by any means necessary !!!!!! LMAO TRUE STORY !!!
@Nando6413 ...Do you mean Foxy 'fell off' in terms of looks or musically? I'm asking this because she's back to looking like herself now. As for her career, we've all heard the stories of how supposedly 'crazy' she was back then (And even now, to some extent), so that and her going deaf some years back contributed to her not being on the scene as much.
Why people hated on the firm album, I dont give a if they didnt live that life, negros could live that live if the want to, they arent fronters, its about the displaying the craftsmanship of the art.
Jay-Z tried to produce the same group with RocaFella and failed. Wu Tang and The Firm ruled the group thing with Jr Mafia and Snoop with the Dogg Pound. 90's is the dominant era of hip-hop and rhymes. today's hip-hop is total garbage
I doubt it--Biggie & Jay were not only friends back then, but Big/Kim & Jay/Fox came out around the same time (1995). Also, Biggie wanted Foxy in Junior M.A.F.I.A., a fact attested to by Undeas (Another old friend/hustling partner of Big's who ran the label that Kim was signed to at the beginning of her JM & solo careers, Undeas Entertainment) and Foxy, among others, so if Foxy was such an 'imitation,' then why would Big want two of the same person in his group? That doesn't make sense at all.
Can we please get homegirls back to the “air brake” hairstyle like girlfriend with the updo? And Fox looks amazing she’s so cray with that lipstick love you girl!
Yeah it was considered a flop because you take Nas who was 2xplatinum Fox was Plat, AZ was gold and Dre.and Track masters doing the album the expectations was 4x platinum due to that time 1997 Puff Daddy and other artist's who followed the Bad Boy sound as far as sampling 80's records were doing it big around that time so the lable wouldn't let them just do some raw street shit that the fans LIKE ME wanted at that time. I see now it's all a business lol
Nas doesn't even age he looks just like that today.
Nah he got chubby face now
foxy always got a nice shade on
Back when NY had the swag on lock and really were setting trends. Look how sharp they're dressed.
+nomibe2911 I agree!!!
+nomibe2911 that was just for the Camera,, niggaz wasn't dressing like that in the NYC streets tho, lol
IRON MIKE really?? They was fly as shit!
***** Yes,, in the VIDEO they are FLY,, but in the HOOD they really wasn't dressing up like that in QUEENS BRIDGE & ENY BROOKLYN, lol
IRON MIKE well fool me! lol Foxy wore them shades though!
nas voice ❤️
He's so sexy. I could listen to him speak all day.
Foxy was a total sex kitten in her days. she was fine
Bro she was like a teenager in this 💀
FOXY’S face expression when BIG LES asked her that last question... FOXY didn’t see it for her... the SHADE WAS REAL...
Hector Fludd yes it was
Like bitch stop playin wit me😁😁😁
I’m confused it wasn’t a offensive question
@@neverhungryagain2187 Prolly because niggaz was saying she was hard to work wit in the studio an she knew Big Les heard all about it.
@@istayinpa8222 ehh she was asking about trackmasters tho
Nas and AZ are the hardest.
The Firm album was incredible and beyond under rated
100%
Nas was rubbing the shit out of big lez shoulder
Ooooh Fox was NOT feeling Nas al over Lez like dat LOL
This was my group!!!!! I wish they regroup!! The Firm album was Hard!!
+NellyBelle Yeah but it was slept the fuck on.
TheChronicDocumentary DreGame For real though!!
Full Circle
@@nellyluscious it was aight
@@neverhungryagain2187 How old are you? tell me the truth I wanna see something.
Foxy was not in the mood.😬
Wish it was '97 right now...The world lame in 2014.
it's 2016 i time travelled
It's even more lame in 2018!!
LOL!
Its 2019 I miss the 90s bruh
It''s 2020 bruh
i wish they can do interviews with rappers like this again.it makes the interview special
Not this day and age! It’s over!
Why Nas rubbin on her shoulder like that lol
lmaoo
Naw Nas is looking like he ready
Haze Jones lol she's salty
Haze Jones right who you think was the top hip hop chick lol
thats what i was thinking. I was jealous as hayle too watching this!!!
Yeah Foxy got on that Fendi shit that everybody rocking now that is why I love her
Exactly! 💯
Let’s not forget she’s was rocking big birkin bags aswell
Nas and foxy should’ve been a couple. They both looked soo good next to each other 💯
Yes they did!
I always thought Nas and Erykah Badu would have been good together too
I mean they were messing with each other at one point. Jay Z as well
@@OmarScruggs Right , because you were with them while it was happening right ? 😏
@@Materialgirl_3 lmao
I love Foxy's glasses!
Nas made sure he was sitting in the middle between Foxxy and rubbing Big Lez shoulder. I peep why he was doing that playboy.🤣🤣🤣
Poor Az was surrounded by the rest of the boys while he was looking at fox
Lmaoo he thought he was slick , he was making Foxy hot check how he smirk when Fox ignored Liz question about trackmasterz lmaoo but believe it or not I met foxy brown in a whole foods store in manhattan . She was real cool and down to earth

Good insight, wow!
Bless your heart for speaking the truth
The album flopped because every major label
had their hand in the cookie jar, as far as that album goes.
Nobody (The Labels) wanted to meet half way, when it came to splitting the money.
So the labels just chose to dump the project.
Look at the back of that album, there's a million record label logos.
It was prolly because it showcased all star talent from production (dr.dre) and heavy hitting rappers..i think people were expecting something we've never heard before...and its about style the firm with east coast flavor my have struggled with wesy coast boogie sound look how Rakim and Dre had creative differences. Still a good album the firm that is
The album was garbage cause the music was garbage
Nas was knockin them joints down lol 😂
Damn. Lots of tension in this interview something went down prior to this.
Lool yep. Especially between Nas and Foxy
That was a great year for everything I was 16 or 17 in high school..thanks bro good memories..thanks
I like the whole round table set-up..
Mafioso style - dining discussin family business over shrimp and lobsta.
I looooooove me some Kim & Foxy! WHY did they got into a fight? I want a collaboration to let the young people know what REAL rap music is!
so true
They never got into a fight people just got in there ear and they were no longer friends. They were supposed to do a song together called Thelma and Louise but that or them doing anything together will probably never happen
BET was the shit in the 90's had some cool ass shows and hosts.
Joe Clair and Big Lez....classic Rap City....mann i miss these years
doncarrera 601 Yes, Claire...I forgot all about him, then I was like Joe... but couldn’t think of the other part of his name🤙🏾
Yeah, those were the days
foxy looked jealous right there
Maybe because nas was rubbing on the woman's shoulder.
shanae Grant Awe shit she hating
shanae Grant she definitely did lmao
shanae Grant She must of been fucking nas low key
Its no shade. But I would’ve reacted the same way, if I don’t see it for a btch, why would I play in her face & front like everything good?
The firm should make another album on their own record label
Lez is beautiful yo.
And I wonder how awkward it was for Nas hanging with AZ then going to do a Karl Kani shoot 😂
The Firm would destroy Cockafella
Az looks like this still 😂😂😂
2020
Thank you! I've been trying to find that song for years! I remember being 16 in '97, hearing that, and thinking it was the T.O.N.Y remix. Thank you because you are the ONLY one to clear that up for me. Peace.
Foxy still my favorite female rapper
Just found the video and downloaded it! Thank you again. On my down time, you just made my day!
I just commented about how I been bumpin' Nas' Greatest Hits or some shit and somebody hit me with this.For the record,I definitely didn't sleep on Firm Biz.
Foxy seemed like Nas was getting on her nerves lol
Yo
Fixxy was just jealous
The Firm Should of NEVER Let Steve Stoute get rid of Cormega- Def Jam Street Team days!!!!
YO in the interview all these years I didn’t see nature in this interview till now 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Onyl if they did an album like Az and Nas' mo money mo homicide,Life's a bitch,affirmative action or La familia that featured Cormega. That album would have got mad love in the streets but sold even less records.
the real to real FACTs
When lez asked foxy that question why did she kind of smirk and look away? Nas peeped it, cause he king smiled. What was that about? Foxy syrrsufht ignited her. I thought it was rude as fuck.
name of the beat in the background is Capone-N-Noreaga - Closer (Sam Sneed Version). 97 shit
hahaha my nigga AZ look young as hell!
They all look like they are afraid of Foxy.
See that VLADTV?? Professional journalism. Not sitting there asking rappers about their crime life and affiliation with the streets. Just how they put together a dope album, their craft, and the producers involved. VladTV ain't Hip Hop. It's a tabloid show.
It’s a background interview. Two different types of interviews
AZ made the The Firm
AZ looks like a guy with a deep ass voice, but when he opens his mouth it bothers the shit out of you.
I definitely slept on the album... I was dumb
You can tell Foxy’s attitude was nasty like many stated who worked with her back then.
Nah Foxy is actually cool. I met her in a whole foods in Manhattan . She actually was real humble and nice, i dont know how her attitude was back then though
I was 25 Years Old in 1997, in my Young Adult PRIME !!!!!!!
and NYC HIPHOP , RnB & REGGAE CLUBS was on FIRE !!!!!! lol
I was literally going out PARTYING every Weekend,
and i do mean on FRIDAY NIGHTS, SATURDAY NIGHTS & even SUNDAY NIGHTS,
still making it do work tired & sleepy as hell on MONDAY mornings, , by any means necessary !!!!!!
LMAO
TRUE STORY !!!
Nas look high as shit in this vid 😂😂😂 also what’s the background beat from ❓
Just listened to there project... What was the problem, where's The Firm part 2!.. Anyway that album was mad dope!
it's not gonna happen
Nas touchy Feely on Lez!
This right here is epic 💯
2018 how times have changed
AZ to me was the only one that brought his A game on The Firm Album
Wrong.
Yeah right
Na half a mill was the hardest
Nas has to hit big lez lol 😂😂
Faantastic! thanks your upload,
man foxy brown i would like to meet her or do something with her cause she still look good
When the music biz, was the BIZ!😎
I think Nas got knocked the f out after this video Foxx was pissed

This is dope
They did my boy nature dirty asf smh
Lol
Jay-Z tried to produce the same group with RocaFella and failed. Wu Tang and The Firm ruled the group thing with Jr Mafia and Snoop with the Dogg Pound. 90's is the dominant era of hip-hop and rhymes. today's hip-hop is total garbage
Foxy brown is the sexiest female on earth got damn
I doubt it--Biggie & Jay were not only friends back then, but Big/Kim & Jay/Fox came out around the same time (1995).

That doesn't make sense at all.
Jay Z see this interview with Nas up on Big Lez, Jay's next verse will be "I left condoms under her pillows." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@7nimtv lmao. I didn't even catch that til I read your comment. AZ good lookin out for Foxy.
Jay was an immitation big and foxxy was an immitation kim. it was obvious.
Can we please get homegirls back to the “air brake” hairstyle like girlfriend with the updo? And Fox looks amazing she’s so cray with that lipstick love you girl!
Legends
dayum...i had this instrumental back in the day...just forgot the name
Nore closer
@@neverhungryagain2187 thank you
THE FIRM IS THE 2nd GREATEST GROUP WITH A FEMALE EMCEE AFTER THE JUICE CREW WITH SHANTE'!!
I never liked this album but got luv for Nas & AZ I think cuz Pac was dissing the firm
AZ looking Yooouuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnggggga(-er) , lol. Naz on some player ish. Fox, doing her. 👍
Word
What song is playing in the background?
N.O.R.E , Closer it was on the B-Side. If you look it up make sure you look up the remix cause the original didn't have this beat.
CLOSER REMIX IS SOOOOOOOO MAGICAL
Nas andl Az my men
Thats Capone n Noreaga-Closer sneed version
Please explain why was Foxy upset?
Because y'all are clearly sleeping on Fox even still
Lot of people talked about the firm flopped i don't care still one of my all time favorite album
The Firm reminds me like 1990's Juice Crew!!! Queens n Brooklyn Collabo!!!!
Nas had the chipped tooth back then, that was that nasty nas
Big Fa3tz,A 💯!!!
This when BET was the shit and rap was hardcore
What was Nas talking about in the beginning?
Halfamil Bodied That " Throw YA Gunz" JumpOff!!!!
Foxy 😻🦊😻🦊😻🦊
Yum NAs™
💯
That's Nature. I believe they replaced Cormega with him.
Yeah it was considered a flop because you take Nas who was 2xplatinum Fox was Plat, AZ was gold and Dre.and Track masters doing the album the expectations was 4x platinum due to that time 1997 Puff Daddy and other artist's who followed the Bad Boy sound as far as sampling 80's records were doing it big around that time so the lable wouldn't let them just do some raw street shit that the fans LIKE ME wanted at that time. I see now it's all a business lol
that album the firm was kinda dope
thats that closer remix beat in the background
Nas look he twisted again lol, his hair line is still type fresh
dam yooo they really got a song to that beat in the background I wanna find the name of it so bad I love my Nigga nas and the firm
The beat is from capone n noreaga closer remix
