Foxy Brown and Lil Kim have come under fire for receiving advances for a book which they never delivered.

Publishing behemoth Simon & Schuster Inc. says Fox Boogie bagged $75,000 in 2005 to deliver an autobiography called “Broken Silence” by February 2006. Lil’ Kim was paid $40,000 in 2003 for a novel which she was supposed to deliver in June 2004.

Obviously the two femcees have been too busy going in and out of jail to write some rhymes worth listening to, let alone work on a book. Regardless, the folks at S & S want their money back. Good luck with that.

If you heard Foxy Brown’s new album once and immediately tossed it in the garbage can, you’re not alone. Foxy isn’t feeling the album either.

Foxy Brown’s claim to fame was her guest appearance on Jay-Z’s ‘96 smash single “Ain’t No N*gga.” During the studio session, Foxy was given food and drink. She then went into a room to write her portion of the collaboration.

Are you happy for her?

Last week, I called on hip-hop fans everywhere to write Foxy in jail. The vlogging geniuses at The Real took it one step further and created a video message to Inga. Hilarious.

Hey hip-hop fans, Inga wants to hear from you (excuse the pun). You know, it can get pretty lonely in jail. So, if you have too much time on your hands, jot down the following address:
