I'd just graduated from high school in England when this cut came out. Oh, for the record, that girl Boss was fake... She was a college grade who was dared by a friend of hers to portray a female gangster rapper. No one knew it would catch on :-) She played the role for a hot minute..
You have to put her as one of if not the greatest female mc off all time because she rolled wit the world famous juice crew and you had to hold ya own fucking wit Kane. G-rap, craig g, master ace and even biz markie. With Marley providing those beats Shante was a force to be wreckon wit. She's dope plus she was sexy as hell
@bennyhaha269 Antoinette the greatest ever...Then Lyte...Then Shante'...Queen Latifah, Smiley, Sweet Tee, Boss, Nic Nac, and Lauryn Hill all bunched up together in that 4 spot!
If I remember correctly you see Roxanne on stage and some dancers doing their thing in a junkyard... and throughout the video you see somebody scratching a 12" with a big white arrow on the innersleeve... they only showed it a few times on Yo! MTV Raps
Atomic, nice upload. I've been looking for this since it came out...
