Wasn't she just a teenager?

Aaron Creagh Yup. only 14.

+Brown Royal What idiot said that..and what they on?!

+JoEClove i said it she was a raw rapper until rakim this roxanne was a beast of a disser. she battled utfo, busy bee , and KRS1.

Well we have youtube drama now

bomjam 2 not from the 80s generation but much respect to this Era, this will always be better than those mumble rappers we have today!

I can relate to this as a 70's baby falling in luv with 80's and 90's hip hop I wont listen to this new era grabage.

Was late night for me as a kid when I'd catch them on the radio. My cassette player was busted so I had to use a tape recorder and record them off the radio.

@@lemonface3028 There are good new era songs but you have to search for them.

It's a shame she not down in history.💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

@@spiderg9755 u sound dumb as shit

Street Lava ENT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am so with you LOL

Yup!!

6th grade for me k104

Javier Irizarry Lauryn Hill is slightly better imo

Dat part💯💯💯

She didn't get the Correct pay though. It's sad😥

wowzers

Facts

Agreed!! Check out old school gal Sweet Tea (and Howie T) from Brooklyn too. My fave is Its My Beat...way more laid back tho~!!!

I LOVE Salt-n-Pepa due to Salt's voice when she raps and Salt-n-Pepa being a duo rap group. BUT they're not in the same league with the others you'd listed IMO because Salt-n-Pepa rarely wrote their raps.

@ K Y They did on the last three albums, mainly because their producer Hurby was getting all the money from the writing/production side earlier on. They were much more involved in the writing of some of their later records, particularly their arguably two most well known "Shoop" and "Whatta Man."

FACTS. It’s not even close . Shante is the GOAT .

atlantisblackfish YES YES YES! That line, "the UTFO crew, you know what you can do....", to 3 grown men was the ultimate diss from a child to an adult! Lol! Good times.

I like Blowfly ,Feb.14, 1939 - Jan. 17, 2016 R.I.P. Peace!

And the other DJ could not match Mixmaster ice

mulliganstew72 Me too! I remember rewinding the tape playing this over and over on my boom box. Good times 😀

Reno Federighi right Sistah was No Joke hands down one of the best Female Rappers of all time!! Lyrics roll off her tongue effortlessly right !!

❤

What about the fat colored laces ?

@@daveyboy_ got some red, back ,and grey ones for my 5 pairs of ewings ,fat lases are hard to find ,ewingsc are hard to get.maybe make some frienship pins for the lases so they know how long you been down,only for certain heads that can remember!

Weren’t Shelltoes jail shoes in the US at this time..A guy from Manchester used to fly from Manchester in the 80s to get red shelltoes and we would travel from Leeds for em…Shout out to the 80s B.Boys

I'm still wondering how 90% of my 7th grade class had this song completely memorized 24hrs after it came on the radio!?!!?

Facts

Thanks.

Marcus Ratley they need to. Cause hiphop got so wack they need to take it back to the basics!

Marcus Ratley Wait till they hear Sugar Hill Gang!

Ryan E. Sugar Hill ain't respected by any real hip hop head. Big bank hank stole all his rhymes from Casanova fly aka grandmaster caz

What??? Didn't know that. Damn!

Ryan E. Here he made a dis bout it. Listen to this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lDlgB9MbLNA.html

right so cute but so hardddd !

+Erin Andrea Bonner They have no idea what hip-hop really is this is classic.

lol I'm A Big Nicki fan & I'm Well Aware Of What Hip Hop Is Which Female Hip Hop Mc's Include Mc Lyte, Queen Latifah, Salt N Pepa, Roxanne Shantae, Monie Love Hell Even Foxy Brown But Nicki Isn't Hip Hop To Me She's A Rapper But I Believe She Needs To Stop With These Water Down Raps & Mainstream Shit Because She Can Really Spit Her Mixtape Era Proves That Even In Some Of Her Lines today You Can See But Idk Maybe She'll Step It up Hopefully.

Well said my man

Eww Fat Ass!

Erin Andrea Bonner Lol like where did he come from?

This is the original beat with Mixmaster ice on the scratch.

@@cdshawn Mix Master Ice may have created the original beat for UTFO's song Roxanne ... but this is Marley

It was all talent back then... not automated, not digital... Just Talent! Nothing today can even compete!

Yep Absolutely!

Word!

Which record by TV Girl?

@@ugottaluvutube 'song about me' samples this

slikdarelic exactly!

Ur from New York / yes !

True dat.

Not at all

word up including B rabbit himself 😎😁

Dennis Campbell your stupid.eminems da best and da movies called 8 mile

Sorry dude, not even close, this is freestyle. B Rabbit wrote it down on paper then memorized it. B Rabbit knows better than to mess with Shante.

Sounds great

Yes!! This is a true off the head, improvised freestyle. She made it up right there on the spot. Several of her records were done this way. If you listen you can hear mistakes and mumbled rhymes , the signs of a true freestyle, done in one take. For examples check out Queen of Rox, Bite This, Def Fresh Crew, Wack It, What's on Your Mind, Runaway, Freestyle Live and her Battles against Sparky D, Busy B and Frukwan. Her amazing freestyle ability was part of what made her so famous. Here's a recent freestyle, she still has it : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4PHG-myIjuM.html

Yup

Exactly! That’s how it was done back in the day. Practice makes perfect and builds the dis database but f!ck all these numbskull Bandwagon mofos that don’t even have tapes from that that era. Apologies for jumping the Shanté train thanks to the movie lol. But I was there with TDK ChromeIII and MaxellGold recording what I’ll protect for a lifetime and she was the best then too

CHILLYtheMOST especially since she and sparky dee was the only females doing it at that time. Arguably this was also the first dis track recorded. Heads back in the day played the dozens but that was on the block. This song here opened up the doors for the LL Cool J vs. Kool Moe Dee era of dis joints

They weren’t, Sha Rock is the earliest I can think of, the sequence too... I’m sure there’s more.

Hip-hop is still alive. You just have to look for it.

Thank you.

She didn’t even write this shit, it was off the dome. Absolutely insane

@@charliewebb2923 Yep, even more astounding. Brilliant.
