Roxanne Shanté ft. Biz Markie & Grand Daddy I.U. - Dance To This
Музыка
From the 1992 album: "The Bitch Is Back"
Roxanne Shante (born Lolita Shanté Gooden; November 9, 1969) is an American hip hop musician and rapper. Born and raised in the Queensbridge Projects of Queens, New York City, Shante first gained attention through the Roxanne Wars and was part of the Juice Crew. The 2018 film Roxanne Roxanne is a dramatization of Shante's life.
Shante was born Lolita Shanté Gooden in Queens, New York. She started rapping at the age of thirteen and changed her name from Lolita to Roxanne at fourteen.
In 1984, the young rapper ran into Tyrone Williams, DJ Mr. Magic, and record producer Marley Marl outside the Queensbridge housing project. The three of them were discussing U.T.F.O. since the rap trio had failed to make an appearance at a concert. U.T.F.O. had recently released a single called "Hanging Out," which did not gain much critical acclaim; however, the B-side "Roxanne, Roxanne", about a woman who would not respond to their advances, became a hit. Shante, who was a member of the Juice Crew, walked right up to them and offered to write a track to get back at U.T.F.O., posing as the Roxanne in the U.T.F.O. song. They liked her idea and Marley produced the song "Roxanne's Revenge" using the original beats from an instrumental version of "Roxanne, Roxanne". (At that time her Queens-based crew was in a battle with KRS-One's Bronx-based crew, because both of the crews claimed that their district was the true home of hip hop.) The track became an instant hit and made Shante, only 14 years old at the time, one of the first female MCs to become very popular. Following this, the "Roxanne Wars" started, and Shante continued to rap and started touring.
In 1985, Shante released a record together with Sparky D, who had dissed her before in her track "Sparky's Turn, Roxanne You're Through" for disrespecting U.T.F.O. and being too young to be in rap battles. The record called "Round One, Roxanne Shanté vs Sparky Dee" was released by Spin Records and included six tracks: the two original battle tracks ("Roxanne's Revenge" and "Sparky's Turn") as well as "Roxanne's Profile" by Shante, "Sparky's Profile" by Sparky D and a battle track, in which the two rappers freestyle and dis each other, in a censored and an uncensored version. Other hits were "Have a Nice Day” and also “Go on Girl".
The ongoing battle with KRS-One hit its height when KRS-One claimed in his 1986 track "The Bridge Is Over" that Shante was nothing more than a sexual appendage to male rappers.
Shante released Bad Sister in 1989, The Bitch Is Back in 1992, and a greatest hits anthology in 1995.
By the age of 25, Shante was largely retired from the recording industry. She continued to make occasional guest appearances and live performances, as well as mentor young female hip-hop artists. She did the latter by making a cameo appearance on VH1's hip hop reality show Ms. Rap Supreme and gave rap-battle strategies to the finalists of that show. She also took part in a series of Sprite commercials during the late 1990s.
She returned to performing, and in 2008, her song "Roxanne's Revenge" was ranked number 42 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.; she re-recorded the song the following year. In an interview with EmEz in 2015 she stated that she had just been proposed to and that she had been married before. In the same interview she said that KRS-One was one of her favorite rappers.
A dramatized biopic about Shante's life, Roxanne Roxanne, was first shown at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. It received critical acclaim and the lead actress Chanté Adams won best breakout performance for her portrayal of Shante. The film was co-produced by Forest Whitaker and Pharrell Williams, and written and directed by Michael Larnell. It was bought by the film studio Neon for general release later in 2017. Netflix has since picked up the movie and made it available in the Spring of 2018.

Shante is the illest ! She's a battle rapper for real. At 14 years old she held it down for Queens. She took on Sparky D, KRS 1, The real Roxanne, and smashed them all. She battled Busy Bee and Fruqan and spanked they ass. She's no joke. She would DESTROY Nicki Minaj.....

Here because of Roxanne Roxanne!
I haven't heard this song or seen this video since they first came out. But I still remember this.
this is my 1st time seeing/hearing this.. that's Granddaddy I U.....WOW !!!!!
Best female rapper of all time. Still in 2023 no one compares. Lyte is number 2.
Aye get it Roxanne Shante keep up the good work new music ain't got nothing on u❤😘
A lot of times the best artist don’t get the props that they deserve. Mainstream destroyed that!
This was out in the 90's never heard it before
Thus music never gets old
I sure miss this type of hip hop. The late 80s to the early 2000s was the best time for hip hop. But instead of reminiscing and getting mad about it I just make my own old school hip hop. Peep out my old school tracks and see what you think...!!!

I'm a teenager and I listen to your era of hip hop too, my generation of hip hop sucks, I think real hip hop is officially dead in 2019, this mumble rap and wigger wearing skinny Jean's like Takashi sound so annoying to me and aren't rap or hip hop at all, more like goofy comedy
