Roxanne Shanté - Big Mama (Large Professor remix)

[caribana2008]

the lyrics was hot........ too bad she didn't write them

[hundredthough]

@caribana2008 but she could back in up in a live battle , and they all knew it. that's why this record is legendary and caused so much drama.

no other female emcee could've dissed all of them and been taken seriously. by the time this came out, roxanne had already detroyed many emcees, on and off wax. she wasn't just bluffing.

[spexxx]

Used to hear this version on the Wake Up Show back in the good ol' days!!!!

[LuvsNeoSoul302]

OMG! I don't think I ever heard this........she went IN!!!

[2blakandbold]

D***!!!!!!UGLYYYY!!!!!

[delirious44]

The original was dope BUT THIS IS EVEN BETTER

[Peemic]

Shante aint write none of this so she gets no props....

[laylabillionz]

U r right. Oldschool is the best and has the most cleaver lyrics.

[mrpower328]

She killed all them bitches. She destroyed Lyte.

[ElectAPromQueen]

Repeat-Female Kool G. Rap PERIOD

[Hervinbalfour]

I dont know how anyone can say that the other girls (Lyte) outdissed her on their responses. That is those the chose to. The only person who responded was MC Lyte. And IMO it was wack. Shante called her ass a bulldagger and there was no coming back from that. And all these years later Lyte is exactly that.  Yo Yo included. Shante predicted years ago that hip hop was populated by closet homosexuals and we see that shit is true. Shante was the truth! Period!

[hundredthough]

@Hervinbalfour latifah, snp, and yo yo respnded as well

[symonfenix]

dudes and chicks got it from shante'!!

[roBEARtoEHarwoodJr]

Heard this version all the time on Power 99FM outta Philly...

[yegsmitty22]

This song could have changed hip-hop history. Linque would have skipped the x clan and ripped it.

[xkaliber72]

Kook g rap's flava is ALL over this shit!! Lol

[chronwell]

@xkaliber72 Yup! This track is hard like steel !

[hundredthough]

@xkaliber72 it's acually grand daddy i.u. tho

[deeblk07]

Nice! But MC Lyte rip her on steady fucking!

[TheAkashdeepJabandar]

Hahaha, I love virtually every line on this. "At 14 years old, I was going gold - while I was on tour, you was touring the ho' stroll. Sucking dicks and turning tricks to get a quick fix, while I was putting dope hits in the mix." DAAAAAYYYYYUUUUUUMMMMMM! They don't make 'em like this any more, more's the pity ...

Thanks for the chance to hear this again! Extra P's version is the best.

[ISaviorAllah]

Large Pro really hooked this remix up!!

[allTRIPLE1]

Roxanne Shante went hard against all the top female rappers at the time. It is ashame, female rappers does not have much present in hip-hop today.

[skimrok]

i like both original and the remix

i have both 12s

you dont see the remix test press much

[2KILLAVILLE]

She waz roasting, But she really lyrically couldn't get wit Queen n Lyte.That's why she didn't last as long as Queen n Lyte caz she was dissing all other female MCS. Lyte would've made a Shut the Fuck UP Hoe part 2 fur her. Queen roasted her on Latifah Had It Up 2 Here without saying names, dat track was just subliminal.

[MrNapadon]

I was looking for this version since this came out, Stretch Armstrong played this version all the time, but sounds better a lil bit sped up!!!!

[hundredthough]

this is genius!

[MrSP1200]

Large Pro is the TRUTH!

[datrealdunn]

I liked this version better than original. A rare record that is one of the best dis records ever. Large Professor also produced Brothers aint shit!

[MaStormy]

[TheFunkologist]

[yegsmitty22]
