It's been a long time since I felt so proud of our Hip Hop culture. Roxanne Shante deserves every moment of this praise. Respect.

This is an example of why NYC is and always will be the mecca of hip hop

I hope we get more films and documentaries about our legends

Not true. Roxanne is a legend, but there were other female artists who recorded songs before she came along. Her success is one-part skill and one-part timing. If she never came out, there would still be other female rappers recording songs, and I say this with respect as I'm a big fan of Shante. This song came out in 1979 or 1980 and you can hear the influence on Shante's style: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fmZltM6jd8q6ipM.html

Powerule true, but she was a blu print for the artist I named. That's why I said if it wasn't for her, those women who came after her would have been different. I say this because I see her in each of the acts I named.

@Powerule23

TTSantiago821 + Well, she certainly put "female" rappers on the map in terms of impact in 1984. Shante's success had a lot to do with timing. Like she said, no one expected hip-hop to last very long back then. So, yes, she's an important figure who dropped a monumental song. But her career lagged and she basically fizzled away, for reasons obvious in the movie. As far as blueprint, Shante was following a blueprint. She didn't create that style, which is why I sent the link. Shante had a few good songs, but no album when she was at the height of her short career. The only real comparison among the group you mention is Salt & Pepa, who came out right after Shante. (They had the same rap pattern, and S&P initially followed the same rhyme blueprint that Shante followed). To say without Shante, there wouldn't have been other female recording artists is a stretch. Remember, The Sequence dropped a big song in 1979. If anything, female rappers weren't sticking with the art form because no one expected it to last. Kool Moe Dee, who was considered one of the best in NYC, stopped rapping for a while to attend college. What's most admirable about Shante is what she's accomplished after her rap career concluded. She's a very powerful woman who truly cares about community and social achievement. She's in the national public light again because of this great movie, but she's been active socially for a long time.

Legend. None of these women MC's wouldn't exist: Mc Lyte, Queen Latifah, Salt n' Pepa, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Oaktown 357, Lady of Rage, Remy Martin, Nicki Minaj... NONE OF THEM! Bow DOWN!

This will go down in history as another classic and legendary interview Sway! I was a teenager when all this was going down back in Philly. I remember all of this as if it was yesterday. This was during a time when hip-hop had substance. I’ve never heard Roxanne Shante speak in an interview before, and I am beyond impressed with how she handled herself. I can’t wait to watch the Netflix movie and see what else she has in store for the future.

I'm just so captivated by her storytelling no wonder she's a legend. I had never even heard of her before now but I glad that her story got told cuz today's hip hop needed this and the movie was phenomenal it should been a box office hit. And Chante Adams seems like such a sweet humble girl this is a major move for her & she's definitely about to be making major moves in the industry I wish her much success. Get that bag girl!

Sway is a Mad scientist when it comes to interviews.

And she goes around to all the homeless shelters on Thanksgiving and Christmas giving out turkeys in Queens word up

Bravo Roxane Shante, you’re how a representative of Hip Hop culture should be. Intelligent, articulate, strong and empowered. As a mid 40’s Latino Man from the Bronx you and Lyte were my favorite female MCs and in my top 10 favorite MCs. I will definitely be watching the movie.

It would be so dope if Roxanne Shante did a compilation album with all up-and-coming women rappers cause they definitely need the exposure and support. Bbymutha, Cupcakke, etc. all deserve more shine!

Love you Roxanne. I just shared your videos with my 7yr old, her & I both mesmerized by you. I told her how you are an icon of women, when I was 12 when you came on the beat boxes every girl was so proud of you. So much respect for you, queen.

I think this was the first rap song I ever heard followed by RUN DMC My Adidas...I never forgot Roxanne, much love 🙏

WOW!!!! I remember hearing her for the first time.... Around '84 or so... Man, the memories.....These were the days..........

I'm so glad she is finally getting recognition. 😍

wow I love both of them. such a wonderful movie, I'm still in awe. Legendary.

Perfect timing dropping the beat on her and her flowing without hiccuping the interview
