[AnimeLady501]

[THEWIKANMAN]

Slut, you'll get a fucking gun butt to your gut!

[FLYKIDSZENT]

[Afanlynness]

monie love in the middle ...haha

[elt01606]

SHANTE WAS THE SHIT

[bugstrut]

@spiderman759182 You think Lyte's track was better than this? It was dope no doubt, but this is better.

[papinico1]

dam I didnt even know she went this hard on them!

[stargazer62979]

roxanne killing them since 84 mad respect for her

[compsciguy]

How annoying. This voice....like a preppy cheerleader....uggggghhh.

[djyooter1]

This was arguably the first time some one dropped multiple names dissing. She went in on: Sparky Dee, MC Lyte, Latifah, Monie Love, Isis, Salt n Pepa., Yo-Yo. WOW!

For me it wasn't till Laurn Hill came out that another female rapper was as nice as Roxanne Shante.

[Khultan]

Illest emcee....PERIOD.

[davidlimond]

wow censoring the lyrics

shit

[jwh1999]

@davidlimond Only version I have

[TheLauderdalelady]

im loving it and we need more mc like u

[niatocute]

well keys remind me of her

[niatocute]

She remind me of Keys

[Leasa3]

Queen latifah killed her ass on "I cant understand"

[KreyolChick]

thats how you diss! YOU SAY THAT MUTHAFUCKAS NAME AND DOG EM THE FUCK OUT! these other little new school hoes speakin indirectly and scary as fuck

[jwh1999]

@KreyolChick That's what I miss in hip hop, callin out names, even the male MC's be dissing people subliminally, that's whack!! Grow some balls and say the name! lol

[compsciguy]

@KreyolChick

"scary as fuck"? How are they scary? Don't you mean SCARED?

[2KILLAVILLE]

The other female mcs aint did shit to her, she come out of nowhere spittin venom at other female mcs caz they were hot at the time and she wasnt nomore. She couldnt fuck wit Queen or Lyte period. That's why roxanne fell off didnt last in the game as long as them jus hating on other female mcs rising to the top like phoenix. Queen still out here acting,singing and can still get down on the mic if want to, she talented n lyte. Where Roxanne at not like nas say "Where Are They Now."

[agta251091]

dobry kawałek i nieźle się przy nim freistaluje w breakdance albo b-boy-ling to jest coś;D the best

[dhrdth]

She tried mc lyte,yo-yo,queen latifah,sat-n-pepa.i no they felt bad after this diss

[oneray94]

yep this raise's the eye brow just alittle, When someone ask who's the hardiest female rapper out of lyte and Roxanna...Well i'd jam boft of there tapes back in the dayzzzz I like them boft...but on the diss tip i gots to roll with Roxanna especially Big Mama song...She straight went down the list on them all, just breaking them down like ground beef you gotta admitt the girl was hard

[deeblk07]

big mama was good but lyte fucked her whole world up with steady fucking

[jivee123]

daggggg this was tight never heard it b4, she served all of em, but I am still a die hard lyte fan.....jivee123

[Juvy29]

Can you believe it, this chick was like 13 and dropping rhymes like this wicked.

[hundredthough]

@Juvy29 this dropped in 91-92 so by that time she was 20-21.

[rganalphabro06]

RAW!!

[kckdottboi]

shannie is the baddest female rapper. i'm tired of everyone talkin about who wrote her ryhmes--ITS all about the delivery. singers dont all write their own songs. anotha female could have the same lyrics and not be able to deliver em!

[MrLAKERS21]

SHANTE gave birth to most of them MC'S

[ssaturn]

1991. thats when the 80s mc's started fading out. new jack swing died shortly after. this ho dogged my girl yo-yo... funny tho

[Aciremet]

YOU ARE A DAMN LIAR GIRL...Phony Baloney Phd. I guess your PHD stands for P.retty H.uge D.amn liar! SHAME ON YOU...

[lindsaybugda]

You a Hater Lol

[grobarkata]

this song is fo eva

[RiRiWillz1]

i really want roxanne shante to come back and put them so called rappers (lil wayne, soulja boy,bowwow,n all the other disgraces) n put dem in they place!!!!!

[0hxparis]

WELL DAMN SHANTE !!! you do yo thang.

[KyroPwnage]

you murdered dis bat!

[blkmusiclvr]

DAMN!!! Does Shante have a diss record that's not classic?! Lol.

[tigerwoman]

Monie Love can't hold a candle to Shante. Lol

[CharlieAmazin]

yeah roxanne killed mc lyte hands down shante won.

[rammzee72]

MC Lyte - Steady F*cking - NUFF SAID Lyte greatest female emcee of all time - PERIOD

[2realforthem2]

you right mc lyte will forever be the best female rapper

[MrLAKERS21]

Please Big Momma called lyte outta da closet, her response was an old wack KRS 1 tune redone! SHANTE is the "Queen w/ the juice"

[TheThirdEyeCeesU]

@rammzee72 I agree that MC Lyte is the GOAT of female MC's overall; but in the specialty area of battle rap, Shante is the Queen of The Hill. Lyte is a respectable

2nd on the battle tip; she's t only one who could think about seeing Shante in a battle.

[2KILLAVILLE]

@CharlieAmazin This shit lightewight to lyte, lyte wouldve roasted her already did on steady fucking, listen to lye track shut the eff up off all eyes on this album. She really wasnt trying to battle lyte or queen . Queen lyrics n rhymes to sharp listen to latifah had it up 2 here, queen of royal badness and king queen creation and name callin.Roxanne cant fuck wit Queen or lyte

[Barkim360]

I heard Kool G Rap wrote this shit for her.

[jwh1999]

Nah, Grand Daddy IU

[Barkim360]

Ok i know she had that Kool G Rap flow somewhat.Granddaddy had a lot of punchlines.

Peace

[noirnoticvibe]

@jwh1999 speak the truth to the young black youth....

[limespade]

I don't doubt this, but I would never think that Roxanne couldn't do it herself.

[BritishEnvy]

There was another version, which I liked a lot better

[shakeluga]

lyte was hot but some of those hits were written by milk d from audio two

[zoltron30]

who care Dr Shante won in the long run...

[prokslei]

roxane was battling everybody on mic at age of 14, check out battles against busy bee and such. there is no better female mc. and when it comes to freestyle, she is among the best male rappers, no female will ever come close to here freestyle powers. one of the rare mc's that throwed rhymes fresh out of head, not reading from a paper or whatever.

[swingdevante]

FOR all you hiphop fans,ROXANNE SHANTE is the first female artist go GOLD.lets,look at her hits,BITE THIS,ROXANNE REVANGE,HAVE A NICE DAY,FEELING KIND OF HORNEY,BIG MAMA, LOOSEYS RAP,plus many many more.ROXANNE SHANTE have destroyed MC LYTE,SPARKY D,REAL ROXANNE,YO YO ,MONIE LOVE, SALT N PEPA ,U.T.F.O,QUEEN LATIFAH.SHE left the hiphop GAME on top.

[jwh1999]

That;s all true,but I am still ridin with Lyte as the best female rapper lyrically!!

[sg29]

MC Lyte ended Shante's career in 1992 on the "Jane Show" in NYC. Lyte put Shante in her place on national t.v. and then ripped Shante apart in her fourth LP, Aint No Other in 1993.

[CharlieAmazin]

where can i find this episode of the jane show

[TroyRamseyyy]

YES & SHES DESTROYED MUCH MORE. From Live Battles & Shows Where She Would Diss Other Rappers.

[MercedesSantiaga]

Does anybody have queen latifah's "Inside Out"?? that is probably latifah's coldest rap diss, it has the lyrics "challenge me and you will burn"? I think that ate her up.

[5235747]

im on shantes side. she really was one of the first female mc to have commercial success. Not to mention she started at the age of 14. No one really gives her credit.

[Lytebrightwc]

mc lyte and ice cube killed her

[TroyRamseyyy]

Mc Lyte Probally Got Her Back On Steady Fuckin, But Yo Yo's Responde was Weak!

[atronix]

Awesome!

[amillihere]

can someone type all who she dissed.?

[jwh1999]

Queen Latifah,Monie Love,MC Lyte and Yo Yo.She also had beef with Salt N Pepa but she dissed them on another song!

[jwh1999]

Oops she actually did diss Salt N Pepa on this song lol I haven't heard this in a minute.

[hmmmtastey789]

latifah did her dirty

cuz she shoulda included her....she came out b4 all dem

[OFFICIALJUSTICE]

no, she didnt have to include her ass dat bitch takes little shyt to heart, she shouldnt have got mad at little shyt like dat shes just a CRY BABY

[QDNYC]

Let me make it clear that I was a Shante fan, even bought one of her Albums (the one with "Have A Nice Day" on it) but this wasn't cool.

[QDNYC]

WOMP WOMP! If ur gonna diss, write that shyt yourself! Grand daddy IU did write this song, his name was the only one in the writers credit.. If she had a problem with Latifah not adding her on the song, then should have dissed Latifah only.

[jwh1999]

LOL I think she already had a beef with Lyte also,but she was just so angry she dissed anyone hot at the time,the same thing 50 does!LOL

[ChitownGothSlut]

JWH1999 thank you so much for that info....i did not know why she dissed all them!holla back!chitowngothslut!!!

[YoungMe313]

She fly as shit ..

i most deff look up to her

as a female rapper .. regardless

if she wrote that shit ...

it was FIRE!

[undataka2000]

Sorry ya'll this song killed them all. Kinda sad it wasn't actually written by her though.

[guttamamii333]

yea she write her own

[TheRealKookie00]

I know right; I feel the same way =( But she know she can deliver!!

[jberry106]

THIS IS THE BEST DISS TRACK EVER

if you don't agree you lose, needs the uncensored version tho'

[GoryOrator]

I love Mc Lyte, Queen Latifah, and Monie Love, but they got raped with this joint.

[fuksoljaboy234]

dude shante got crushed on steady fucking by mc lyte and she also got dissed by supersonic,yo-yo,ice cube,queen latifah

[nickca420]

Someone needs to post MC Lyte's answer, "Steady Fucking". One of the best diss records ever.

[oskamadison]

Thank you!!!!!!

[JazzellWilliams]

love this song.. CLASSIC DISS & im the NEW BIG MAMA.. under 18 that is=D

-JAZZELL WILLIAMS

[taxiiboo]

who all was she talking about i know she was talking about:

Latifah

Yo-Yo

MC Lyte

[chillg1]

also she was talking about salt n pepa

[raykell21]

actualy khia did call trina

out in her diss song type in khia

diss trina and yull see she also dissed

jackie-o n she said dere names

[TheRealKookie00]

lol Did she write this herself?

[jwh1999]

It was written by Grand Daddy I.U.

[koolmildly]

It sounds like his style but how do u know 4 sure?

[jwh1999]

Yup,he was talkin bout it on hot 97 last year and he said Treach from Naughty had beef with him b/c of the Latifah diss!

[Alientongue]

Not only was it written by IU, but produced by him and his brother, which the credit went to Marley Marl.

[TheThirdEyeCeesU]

The rumors go on. You say that it was written by IU (I assume you mean, Grand Daddy IU). I heard that it was written by Kool G. Rapp, which seems more plausible to me than Grand Daddy IU. KGR was a fire lyricist and I could see this type of heat coming from out of his head more so than Grand Daddy IU. Plus, KGR was a member of The Juice Crew w/ Shante. Was Grand Daddy IU a member of The Juice Crew? I don't remember, so I'm just asking.

[Alientongue]

According to IU himself in an interview, he said it was written by him (IU) and produced by his brother, Kay Cee. Also, I'm pretty sure IU was in juice crew, or at least wrote tracks for a few of the emcees in it, he even touched on the shady business ethics of Biz Markie and says that was one of the reasons BDK left. Also, his first LP "Smooth Assassin" was released on the Cold Chillin' record label, he was to be marketed as a smooth gangsta type or some bullshit he was talking about.

[1rEalFaG]

garndaddy iu

[jwh1999]

Lol well Grand Daddy IU is taking credit for it, haha but I do think Kane may have wrote at least one verse

[jesuitpimp]

@jwh1999 kool g rap wrote the whole damn ablum

[noirnoticvibe]

@jwh1999 Grand Daddy I.U. was the one who did this for her...you can even hear I.U. in it, just listen to any of his cuts

[drey204]

this is the BEST dis song ever...this shit is cold no one will ever be better than this

[atheletic05]

This is what a true diss record sounds like. She names names instead of beating around the bush and talking about 15 other things besides who she dislikes. Trina, Khia... please take note.

[GantuDM]

Legendary.

[FoolishMonkey75]

roaxxane cant be touched she NEEDS TO COME BACK 4 ALL THE FEMALE MC'S WATCH OUT LIL MAMA HER COMES THE BIG MAMA ROXANNE SHANTE

[blkdee07]

Sorry yall Shante fans - lyte destroyed her on STEADY FUCKING AND HER LYRICS BACKED IT ---LYTE SAID "and even for a small fee u let your uncle get one off while u bounce on his fuckin knee." Lyte killed it right there. And then lyte started off with " i heard u smokin crack lady u jus' had a kid so i guess that make him a crack baby.. lyte just ripped shante to shreds. Denial or not - lyte is the undisputed rap queen

[BOX5]

you outta yo mind,this cut killed all them broads, nobody even gave a fucc about that lyte song,don't get me wrong i fuccs with lyte,but this cut shit'n on everybody,and she made it cause all them broads was acting like bitches at rap mania, and to them muthafuccas who think kim and foxy started that shit,go bacc to rap mania and see shante performing shante is feeling horny when she walked off and rub'd her pussy haha besides her was that ugly bitch choice who had a dunk tho from the south yell

[newline23]

she killed everybody on this track man

[originalshotta357]

Roxanne Shante the greatest female mc to ever bless the mic. All hands down!!!

[spangla777]

RUDEGIRL

[xpoondiggy]

this was dope

because Kool G Rap wrote it

lol

[Sugglife]

actually it was I.U. that wrote it

[LAKERSRDABOMB]

Shante kicks ass! MC LYTE is good but SHANTE put her in her place! Shante RULES!! "Save all the drama and get the F*** out the way, here comes the "BIG MAMA" I gave birth to most of them MC's! SHANTE totally is the queen of DISSIN!

[33Shay33]

Psych Lyte put her to shame in STEADY FUCKING!! After Steady Fucking it was like Roxanne WHO...

[LAKERSRDABOMB]

"STEADY FUCKING" was an old song and quite weak, Shante said her peice and nobody came close to matching her, thats why she didn't need to reply!

[blkdee07]

yea right...steady fucking was the shit. THAT WAS THE GREATEST DIS RESPOND TO DATE... ASIDE FROM NAS/ETHER & several of ll cool j dis records. Shante did her thang with this track but dude everyone know lyte answered this shit hardcore to the fulliest. No other bitch could come close not even latifah

[1rEalFaG]

who do you thing got it,shante or lyte

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

Latifah also responded in her hit "I Can't Understand."

[TheRealKookie00]

OMG SHE WAS MAD ON THIS RECORD! Did she diss YoYo??

[jwh1999]

Yup,the line when she sais"Now as for that west coast s--t_"

[Trobinson97]

This shit is still fire. Shante put em to shame.

[chinuaAnderson]

this is MY FAVOURITE diss song of all time - she killed it!!! - keep the pork chops out the frynig pan!!! still makes me laugh out loud.

Istill don't know why she went at them like that though - never could find out what started it cos they were all friends on yo mtv raps at the time but then she just went for them - still it's never been bettered i don't think cos ether is hot but it's not funny like dis.

[Mzbball]

She dissed them,because they were going to make Female MC anthem and Latifah left her out

[wynetta84]

She put it down on this record! Not only did she call bitches out and took names, she backed it up!! This is a real diss record. Too bad she left the rap scene but this record goes down as one of the best diss records in the history books.

[Janelle537]

roxanne shante is fire!

[mdk19772007]

HOT. THATS IT, SIMPLY HOT.

[jwh1999]

Comment from LAKERSRDABOMB:

Shante kicked ass and took names. Lyte tried to ansewer but it was just a weak try, backed by BDP I think it was: "Roxanne Shante is only good for steady fucking" It had some ill lyrics but Lyte just couldn't really defend herself after Shantes rips "I don't dig the Bull Dagger, somebody tell her to stop acting like a man, she needs something real thick to help her out quick, and thats a big peice of DICK!

[1rEalFaG]

now as for that west coast slut.wit fake ass hair,contacts and a patted butt

[undataka2000]

THIS woman riped it!!  Man i miss those day's.

[kckdottboi]

Hot, Hot, hot. She should've had a video to this. I hope they put this song in the Vapors movie coming out about the juice crew

[jwh1999]

I think they are!

[ggoraps]

this shit is sick

[datrealdunn]

She had a remix to this song that had an ill bassline. It was definitely sampled from an old james brown record. The remix used to get burn on the radio back in the day the shit was fire!

[boriquacub76]

This song also stems back from the Sisters In the name of rap concert back in Oct of 91...The Sister hood that was alive in hip hop back then never accepted her or gave her, her just do. Her and Monie squashed their beef I think she also did with some of the other ladies as well.

[jwh1999]

Yup,they appeared on Rap City together,but Shante did smash them all!!LOL

[boriquacub76]

Yeah Shannie did come raw....I missed that episode of Rap City what I also would like to see is the old episode of the now defunct Jane Show that aired in 92 right when the record was released...Yo-Yo,Lyte,and Nikki D. were on there with Shante...

[jwh1999]

Also did you know that fellow Juice Crew associate Grand Daddy IU wrote this track,and this caused friction between him and Treach b/c of the Latifah lines!

[boriquacub76]

Yeap....I was aware of that...Naughty By Nature did a cut called "The Hood comes first" in response to this record. I have a clip on a video tape from when the song came out MTV news did a segment "Roxanne Shante declares war on female rappers" I just dont have the software to convert and upload...

[jwh1999]

All man I would like to see that.

[TroyRamseyyy]

DO YOU HAVE THIS
