She wasn't just the best 'female' rapper, she was one of the greatest rappers, period. I grew up with Shante (I mean musically, not personally) and I've always had the utmost respect for her. Even more so after watching this.

She won the battle she dont have to bring nothing out today she is hip hop 💯💖

She is somebody who is saying some shit that other people have said is not only untrue but also outrageous. Now those other people could be sexist pigs who could never accept a female champion or they could be telling the truth! Seems like if she was real somewhere they'd be proof. Yeah she had a hit record but so did "right said fred"

Intricate, what, like really complicated and hard to work out, or integral, as in important, cardinal? It's just that people usually use the phrase "integral part" and not intricate part, perhaps you don't read much and have only heard it being used on the television? That's usually the reason people make mistakes like that, from not reading much and mishearing things from TV, instead of seeing them written down. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

@@Oscuros this is exactly why I still sometimes look up words before I use them in written language. In school we had context clues which taught you how to figure out what a word meant by how it is used. Maybe that is what happened. You know that the English language is said to be the most difficult to learn? This is probably one reason why. Thank you for pointing this out. I honestly appreciate knowing so I don't make that mistake in the future. My point would definitely be mistaken. Although, it could've come off a little harsh.

I disagree with Curtis Blow. As talented as Roxanne was. She would have been taken seriously. Her talent spoke for itself, she was marketable💵 And she had a good head on her shoulders to match. His reasoning was B.S In my opinion I think he was intimidated by a young woman with so much talent Who could go toe to toe with grown men, and actually WIN

Growing up in the south the Roxanne diss battles were the first hip hop records that got major play on the radio stations. For a lot of people outside of New York she was their introduction to the battle culture of hip-hop.

I loved this interview. Her stories took me back in the days wen hip hop was just about to sweep the world. Smh we'll never get those days back

What an icon and a legend at her own time I have alot of respect for this woman other female rappers should do a tribute to her. Please give her a star in the walk hall of fame. She shouldn't be forgotten. She was before queen latifah and mc lyte and yoyo .after beat street. She appeared

Yes, I remember when they put rap on 60 minutes because they didn't understand what it was. It truly is a blessing to see how something began. These young people today treat it like it's been here forever. It really was something different and oh DAMN! how it made you feel when you heard it. Hearing hip hop downtown blasting out the sneaker stores just made you feel so damn good. It was like that feeling you get when you got a crush on a cute guy in the summer time. Nothing like it. I'm from Newark, NJ. and lived in Brooklyn.

It wasn't 60 minutes but that program is the reason why a certain group suddenly started claiming they "helped invent" Hip Hop.Meanwhile the real culture had been at it alone for almost 10 years & they'd been mocked the entire time.Shante is a Hip Hop baby which is why she's the best whether non factors can handle it or not❤️

The best interview on Vlad, so much wisdom spilling from her, she is truly blessed and a true survivor

I'm glad she got her money now and more. I'm not an artist but I've heard of alot of music artists being taken advantage of. The great thing about the sacrifices of these artists now, is that they can hear their stories and hopefully equip themselves with knowledge. I hope any upcoming or current artist learns about the business of the music industry.

Love her♥️🔥 not only is she talented. But also intelligent

SHE IS A BEAST ON THE MIC YALL

Queen. Hip Hop royalty 👑.

This is awesome. Legend. Much respect Ms. Shante. Pioneer. Queen of Hip Hop.

Damn Kurtis, hip-hop has the respect in the streets and was going to blow up anyway. I don’t buy the idea that a 16 year old couldn’t represent hip hop. Elvis just turn 18 when his first hit record. Still love Kurtis though, but Shanté is the Queen of Hip Hop

She is the hit woman when it comes to clashing AKA battle rapping Love from Jamaica

Always got Love and Respect 4 U Mrs. Shante. The True Queen of Hip Hop🙏🏻 Peace from L.A.

This inrerview is very appreciated.

Good Job Roxanne Shante, you have come a long way!! Keep it pushing!!

Awesome interview. Nice one Vlad.

Roxanne shanti is the best female rapper alive, in my opinion. I love this woman growing up. Her personality speaks for herself.

I love this! Honesty at the finest!

I remember in the early 80s in the UK getting the electro albums, the first thing i looked for was to see if there was a new Roxanne tune. See is truly hip hop royalty 🙌 👏

Great hearing from her. Was maybe 15 years old male listening to her in Providence growing up. The Golden Era.

This is sooooo good..!

Great interview! 🤎 I'ma watch Roxanne Roxanne later .. 🙏🏿✊🏿💥

What an Honor to Hip Hop. Love you 👑

kudos from uk. I was 14 when I first heard Roxanne, I used to go to the town centre on a Saturday & there were a couple of break dancers doin their thing on a bit of old lino, I think the tape was one of the electro albums?

WOW ....... you can still hear her voice from 1984. Listen, I was a kid back then, 15 and this was a time when Rap / Hiphop was just exploding. I had all the bootlegs ( sorry, I was only 15 and broke ) ... Dougie Fresh, UTFO, Roxanne Shante, Whodini, The Rappin Duke, Slick Rick, The Fat Boys, LL Cool J, man ... I'm wearing a huge ass smile right now.

Greatest Hip Hop "Rapper" of all time. I am convinced.
