“All Around the World the Same Song”: Jha Jha vs Foxy. JD vs Ski-Beats
Posted by Miss Info under New Music , Not Good For Hip Hop[35] Comments
Here is Jha Jha’s version of the song, “Lights Go Out.” Recorded at Bob Perry Studio (Bob Perry is the A&R of Koch Records) in March.
[audio:01_Lights_Go_Out.mp3]
And here is Foxy Brown’s new song, “When the Lights Go Out,” which Jha Jha heard from an email blast that went out last week….Also recorded by Bob Perry.
[audio:Foxy_Brown_-_When_The_Lights_Go_Out_(Feat._Kiara).mp3]What a coink-i-dink. Well apparently, this Bob Perry fellow just gave Foxy Jha Jha’s song and they pretty much copied it to a tee….well, with a few more na-na’s thrown in.
Ok, ok. Alot more na-na’s…..
Fine. Like a million more na-na’s!
But the point is…that’s not good business.
Which reminds me of another really interesting post I read on the Scratch Magazine blog via XXLMag…..
Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri’s “Fallin'” vs. Ski Beats’ “Ballin'”….
humpf, that’s weird.

Fuck Foxy Brown. I don’t get why she sounds more and more like a dude now when she rhymes. Who told her that was a good move?
October 30th, 2007 at 9:28 pm
Wow is all I have to say about Jha Jha & Foxy B. I mean, if both were released who is more marketable? Obviously you can’t release both but the song isn’t even that great to me. But I side with Jha Jha, of course.

You could never right off my girl Inga. Let her go through solitary confinement, come out with a hot one for early next year.
Lights go out is definately my new catch phrase for the ladies, ya dig? But they have got to clean up the vocals on Foxy coz it’s sounds like a freestyle the mixing is a bit off!
Jha Jha did her thing though, I aint mad at that, but I think Lil Kim would murder this track.

This reminds me of Alchemist when he gave Ras Kass the same beat that Jadakiss had for “We Gon’ Make It”. LOL, Ras Kass wasn’t happy, i wonder how this one’s gonna turn out.

Foxy’s massacring these rap broads. In jail, 6 years off and all. I see why they stay mad @ her.
Foxy’s version is better though.
October 30th, 2007 at 11:49 pm
Jha-Jha is disgusting in the face!! Fox is a fox and foxy’s version sounds much better.. she’s the better rapper overall too and if Jha Jha sent this song out, no one would care cause the girl has no reputation!

Miss Info… You’re great. I love your sarcasim. I love the breaking news. I love how you keep people posted about the goings-on in the industry…. but this one disappoints me. You’ve made it clear that you don’t like Foxy Brown – and you may have legitimate reasons for your opinion; However; this has nothing to do with Foxy. Yes, she is on the updated version of the song, but this is a conflict between Jha Jha and Koch. They gave her the track with the hook and she laced it. Outside of that, it’s an issue between Jha and her label. Lesser known artist get replaced on songs all the time. Im glad you posted the info about Jay and JD to show that it’s not a matter specific to Foxy, but still, it seems that the media will pick anyway possible to scandalize Inga and throw dirt on her – she gets herself in enough trouble as is. There are literally hundreds of lesser known artist who appear on songs that eventually get launched by more established ones. It’s part of the industry. FOXY BROWN DID NOT STEAL THE SONG – she was given a beat and a vocal and she did her thing. I read Jha Jha’s comments on the situation and she never even named Foxy or showed any anger towards her personally, instead, she scrutinized Bob Perry’s business decorum. GIVE FOXY A BREAK on this one. You’re part of the industry you know it’s not her fault – why try to shed a negative light in her direction when it should be directed towards KOCH -if anyone??? and so what she said ill nana a million times – I didn’t hear you complaining about Mike Jones. lol.
The media needs to pick someone else to use to sell their stories and impact public interest – Foxy Brown is serving her time – leave the woman alone already.

ayo miss info!..u fucking dead wronge for posting dis shit man…fox basicly put money ur pocket bitch and u gonna come at her from da side line..u a fake ass bitch..u not hip-hop..shit u not black..u a hater man..i hope blackhand fuck u a new hole chin kung!!!!!!

Wow. There’s a log of flagrant biting going on. That’s pretty sad. Actually thats extremely sad. What’s the penalty for that? Nowadays it doesn’t even seem like biting is even frowned upon whereas before if you even used the same sample and flipped it differently it was suspect.
Remember when “whoomp there it is” and “woot there it is” came out at the same time. I guess we let that slide because they were both wack as hell and annoying but still.
ps. LOL@ lil kim murdering a track. She needs to murder her plastic surgeon.
October 31st, 2007 at 12:35 am
Love ’em both, but…
Foxy>>>>>Jha Jha
Foxy made that beat a hit….Jha Jha’s been recorded months ago but either she sat on it, or no one picked up on it liked they did Foxy’s. If it wasn’t for Foxy, that song would be so local.
October 31st, 2007 at 1:29 am
Miss Info loves foxy!
I always hear her on the radio bringing up something about Foxy or talking about foxy & keeping foxy relevant, now if only she was a real DJ, she would be playing foxy’s songs.. lol =P
I’ve never heard her talk about Jha-Jha until now, so we all know without Foxy, the girl would still be a nobody.
October 31st, 2007 at 1:31 am
oh and “Mr. Focused” is right.. Jha-Jha didn’t say anything negative about foxy in her interview, she simply stated her disregard for the producer of the track, Bob Perry.
October 31st, 2007 at 1:37 am
Fuck a jha jha
Who is she anyway??
Miss jones your fat sloppy broke bumass always lying.Wasnt it you the one claiming pen snatched Foxy out her car when everyone else in the club witnessed Foxy knocking Pen ass down the steps causing her to break her leg in which she turned up on Plant Groove the next week talking about she slipped and fell?
Bitch get a life.
October 31st, 2007 at 1:52 am
Is it me or does jha jha look like jim jones with a weave? Lemme find out jim got alter ego.
October 31st, 2007 at 1:55 am
ok mr. focused and tommy don’t get your panties in a bunch. It’s just a blog, lol.
October 31st, 2007 at 2:00 am
@mookie. wrong person.
October 31st, 2007 at 2:21 am
Let’s be honest was this really gonna be a hit if Foxy didn’t touch it? NO! Who the F*** is a Jha Jha and why would we have paid her any attention. Her verses don’t even come close to Foxy’s period. I’m not saying don’t give unknown artists a shot, but listen to her lyrics, this wasn’t a front runner for home girl, she needs to fall back and give this one to FOXY! Maybe Fox can put her on the remix or something.
October 31st, 2007 at 2:40 am
Yall are really wilding coming at missinfo crazy with the off the wall insults. It aint necessary. Some of you Foxy Brown fans are just as crazy as she is. All Im trying to say is that miss info is more intellegent then most, if not all, of the other peeps in her league. She’s knows this isn’t a Foxy issue and she knows the insinuation/inference that will be made from this topic – it seems mean spirited and calculated seeing as though she’s been taking a lot of shots at Fox lately. No more no less. But yall peeps are on some next shh
October 31st, 2007 at 3:28 am
Foxy is not only lazy but she’s a track booster as well. This is probably not the first time this has happend. I mean the tracks are exactly the same. Enough of foxy’s boosting a$$ CHECK OUT THE LUPE VS TRIBE MIXTAPE: http://www.clmnews.com/Entertainment_Sub_Pages/Music/Mix_Tapes/Lupe_Fiasco/FIASCOGATE.html
THIS IS A CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!
October 31st, 2007 at 3:45 am
that tommy character is crazy disrespectful. Why moderate the comments if you’re going to let some jackass shit like that through? I’d hate to see what doesn’t make the cut.
October 31st, 2007 at 3:57 am
@tommy how are you going to come at info for reporting the news. If she ain’t hip hop what is. to be real check out http://www.allhiphop.com they have this same store on there with the same type of spin on it so what then they ain’t hip hop either. Oh and for the record who the hell said hip hop was a black only thing. I am a black man and I hope you ain’t black cuz if you are its blacks like you that will always keep us back. Info has been down with hip hop from the first time I heard her on Hot97. Matter fact she doesn’t BS the artist when they are interviewed with her. How bout this before you say “hey let me call a female a bitch for stating what she heard” THINK ABOUT IT FIRST AND IF YOU GET A HEADACHE FROM THINKING DON’T SAY THE COMMENTS cuz by far you have said the most retarded comment on this website and I have been on here since she started it. I can’t believe I just wasted 3 minutes of my life setting you straight matter fact you owe me 3 minutes just send the check to SOUTH SIDE QUEENS THANX
October 31st, 2007 at 5:09 am
yall are crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 31st, 2007 at 6:14 am
@lee and binary star….thank you guys for the kinds words : ) The reason why I allowed Tommy’s comment and the other one is because sometimes its more enlightening to showcase extreme ignorance than hide it. I read your comments, I know how sharp and reasonable most of y’all are. So I trust your reaction.
But as for Foxy, of course I can tell this isnt her fault. Its the producers and Bob Perry. Which version is better is irrelevant to me, but this side of the music biz is shady. And has happened over and over. I also wanted to point out that it def happens on the indie level and the major one.
@everyone….everyone is entitled to their opinion. Especially here. Me, I definitely have strong opinions about certain artists. Some not so favorable opinions even. But I never form them out of jealousy, and I dont base them on heresay.
Since this is my blog, all the news will be filtered through my opinion. But I welcome agreement and disagreement.
Which no one should ever threaten you physically over. That’s pathetic.
October 31st, 2007 at 9:13 am
@ miss info…after reading the last comment you posted, I retract my previous statement and admit that I was a bit out of line. It’s just frustrating to see the name of someone who I deeply admire be tarnished. I also reread your post, and you never did actually blame Foxy Brown, but at the same time, the reference to Foxy Brown is there and almost insinuates that she was at fault. Regardless of the circumstances, there was no need for me to be racist and personally attack you. I commend your professional behavior and ask for your forgiveness.
Maybe it’s true that some Foxy Brown fans have some traits in common with the artist (lashing out). Sorry for going 730 on you. I should also thank you for keeping Foxy Brown relevant on your blog. Keep doing your thing.
October 31st, 2007 at 11:58 am
Ms. Info, thanks for posting this! Yes, the industry is shady. They milk everything and everyone for profit only! But then again, it is a business and perhaps the label and/or producers didn’t think that Jha Jha’s version was that great or by being stuck on a mixtape, would reach it’s potential. As fucked up as Foxy’s current predicament is, she’s still a big name in hip-hop and has proven she can sell records. They’d rather risk a lawsuit than lose out on the money they invested initially in Jha Jha and go with a proven winner. And just for the record, Foxy did this track justice! They’ll definately get their money’s worth with her joint!
October 31st, 2007 at 1:42 pm
Fox this is too easy rap game needs you. Lets be serious ppl. The producer gave it to Fox cause its clear who the better Femcee is. This would have never been a hit for Jha Jha and I googled Jha Jha’s and her version was on mixtapes and we never heard anything about the song until Boogie killed it and yeah info she did lay a whole bunch a na na’s on the track ill nana’s word. Boogie you back ma. Another Female rapper made example of that the ill nana is the best chick in the game..
October 31st, 2007 at 1:56 pm
Killin em softly Ms. Info!!!!
October 31st, 2007 at 2:47 pm
yo why not Foxy????? these rappers needs to know how to act in public POINT BLANK!!!!
Just because you are a celebrity doesn’t give you the right to do what you think you can and get away with it. na-na na foxy……. spend your time in jail hon maybe when you get out you would be a much decent person what you think?? HUH???? wha wha …………lmaoooooooo
