you new school rappers should take heed and learn from the old school ! Who would think to mixx hard core go go music with hard core hip hip beats? swiss beats ant even got that! Darlene!
THis was a big hit in Washington DC! THe Real Roxanne Mixed go go with rapp and showed those down south people what NYRICANS are about the soul, the drums, the gongas, the bang go"s, the beats !!she rocked that ! Darlene.

This is straight garbage.The Real Roxanne was nothing but a fad. Roxanne Shante, MC Lyte, Sweet Tee, Salt 'n Pepa, Boss, Antoinette and Cookie Crew are real female MC's.
WTF !!!! .... HOWIE TEE FAKIN' HIS AZZ OFF !!!!! ..... LOL .....
He should have just done the turntables and it would have been more realistic ....
Did u notice how at 1:50 he started playin' the keyboard .. BUT at 2:05 when the keyboard part was playin' he was on the turntables ??? .... LOL !!! ( You can't fake the FULL FORCE programmin' alone !!! )
From the times of good time Hip Hop, Mike Allen on capital radio on friday night, after the Cosby Show, This song used to really be the bomb, still is.
i hear latin rascals killing cartoon samples way before this cut... perhaps he was one of the 1st on record... but i think flash may have done that too...
This is one of the DOPEST rap of the '80s. Janet, Jimmmy Jam & Terry Lewis stole the beat of this for the breakdown of Janet's "If." And Full Force was never credited.
Yes You are now rocking with the best Can I get a hit, Howie Thank you For I am the sure shockin, head clockin, anything but not rockin Hip hoppin, Reebokin Wearin, tearin Givin' up to all the people in the place Can you hit me two times Howie Thank you I'm gonna put some karate in your body, some ryhmes in your mind I don't give a *what* we're gonna do
Hopefully I will be Dj-ing somewhere soon, dropping some old tunes, and this is perfect to kick it off. This beat to my knowledge has never been sampled , and the tune jus sounds so fresh like it did back then. The yutes of today would refer to it as being SIC !! And she is so pretty............
Man this song brings back sooo many good memories 84, those were the good ol days.. A little disappointed I was waiting to hear the bugs bunny n elmer fudd at the end of the song " the wabbit kick the bucket, the wabbit kicked the bucket"
I love Roxanne, and this is a good performance. She was not a great rapper, but she was good. She had a few really good songs, she could sing a little bit, and she was very sexy.
Real Roxanne is beautiful!
