She is the REAL Roxanne.

Roxanne Shante defines poetic brilliance, therefore, the only female MC that should be associated with her name is Rapsody. Nicki Minaj and Cardi B belong to the subgenre of Lil Kim, where little talent and more porn appeal is the objective. Finally, there are 2 major disappointments. First, it is on Netflix which limits its visability. Secondly, I feel that certain strong Black women should not fall into the liberal agenda of MeToo. When you consider the history of Black Americans in this nation, you should never commingle your torture to those struggles of your oppressor regardless of condition since one manifestation could have been avoided with an inkling of humanity.

Why do you say that? Because I wouldn’t give a girl like you no Rap! Well I was walking down the street in the afternoon, and I smiled at you, so you assumed that if you said hello I would be flattered, but I keep walking and your ego was shattered! R O X X A NE ROXXANE

Hey Roxanne, saw you opening for Run DMC back in the day. You only had a few songs but you kept the crowd happy by freestyling. So happy you're a survivor.

I remember Roxanne Shante, but are you sure this is the "Real" Roxanne? I remember there were a few "Real Roxanne's" back then, taking claim to be the one and only

You don’t know your hip hop history.

I'm so excited and cannot wait to see this. Being a 70's baby I grew up on Hip Hop music. Queens represent.

I hope Roxanne Shanté reading these comments. A shout out from South Bend, Indiana! Growing up I made many a mix-tape with UTFO's "Roxanne" and Roxanne Shanté's "Roxanne's Revenge" back-to-back. That was an epic rap battle!

IT'S YOUR TIME NOW, Roxanne.

To those in the know, Roxanne is a giant in this iconic and timeless cultural genre!

I named my bicycle 'Roxanne', and I'm sure the name came to me, in large part, due to Roxanne Shante, and hip-hop songs that alluded to her, from back in the day!

Ten years ago, I got rid of my vinyl collection. I thought it was time to make some space in my closet. The only albums I kept were my jazz records and of course, the 12-inch of Roxanne Shanté's "Have a nice day". It's one of the most powerful songs of that late Eighties era. I wish she could just get back in the business...

"So you best go about your way and have a nice day!"

Nice!
