"I'm willing to do whatever I need to do to change"
About this Quote
The subtext is bargaining with the public and with herself. In hip-hop, “change” often gets read as capitulation: going soft, losing edge, letting the industry or respectability politics sand you down. Foxy’s statement tries to reframe that. It’s agency, not surrender. The “I” leads every clause; the sentence is a contract she writes in her own name.
Context sharpens the stakes. Foxy’s career has been shaped not only by artistry and notoriety, but by scrutiny that’s especially punishing for women in rap: moral judgment packaged as “concern,” spectacle framed as “accountability.” Against that backdrop, the quote reads less like confession than strategy - an insistence that growth can be on her terms, even if the terms are brutal. Change isn’t presented as redemption; it’s presented as survival.
