  • just remember back then she wasn't even 15 years old!!!

  • Man this brings back memories of that day ...i love it

  • I just met her literally 10min ago. She gave a speech at my College

  • She is a MONSTER on da MIC!!!!!!!

  • Classic.

    

  • I remember when this dropped...I earned these greys in my beard!!

  • Over 4 minutes of flow with no hooks. Amazing.

  • BX bombing and Queens AOK down to toys 175 th L, this brings lots of love

  • she is the smartest and best female mc i kno...she fucked over her record for every cent they had lol and got herself a doctorate now she is DR.Roxanne Shante

  • Take a drink when you hear "Everybody" "Everytime" or "Tryin to be"

    You'll be dead.

  • @rahmin1981 lol. had to laugh at that one, especially "everytime". never noticed that. but hey, she was going off the top of her head. when freestyling, there are always repetative buzz words that get you to the next line.

  • roxanne is style is still killin female rappers to this day.

  • Marley marl is a freaking beast!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm a 90's kid and i love old school hip hop music...nothing like it!!!!

  • i went to long island city high school with her

  • What is that drink at 0:16,"Rodenbach Grand Cru" or some shit?

  • Havent seen this in over 20+ years. Thank you.

  • @sha29986 Real hip-hop doesn't have hooks or choruses! Peace.

  • @MuzikJunkyAES HOLLA!!!!

    24 hour song with out no hook lol thats how we feel

  • @MuzikJunkyAES That's the same thing I think everytime I hear someone complain about a Hip-Hop song having a hook. Rakim never needed hooks to make masterpieces.

  • @MuzikJunkyAES so tht means tyler the creator is real hiphop ?

  • @sha29986 its calls freestyle

  • @sha29986 Agreed, hip hop back then didn't need a hook, they were just telling real stories like it is...The Roxanne controversy was the best....

  • now you all see where nicki minaj got that roman's revenge nonsense from? smh not original at all

  • @BugattiDreams omg preach!!

  • @BugattiDreams REAL HIP HOP HEADS KNEW THAT.

  • She did the best she could, it was filmed in her basement!! Come on Fam?!! You remember Bob and the Mob. They tried too!! LOL The video looks like a Kung Fu flick!!

  • @Zeusdog33 She lived in the Queensbridge Projects, which are apartment buildings. This is another section of Queens that has actual houses, so it's probably Ralph McDaniels's or Lionel Martin's house. Peace.

  • @MuzikJunkyAES She used to take me out to the playground when I was small. I was about for or five when my aunt lived in Queensbridge. I knew her as Shante, not Roxanne though.

  • @Zeusdog33 the record was hot she sold alot of copies b4 the video came out and when we saw how young she was it put people on notice that damn this little girl got skills

  • Classic always!!

  • Shante battling UTFO always was and still is hot!

  • ROxanne shante is in history's hands down !!! Check it out my video to support (only suport lol ) female rapper and oldschool rap !! ^^

  • I'm just trying to figure out why yall keep talking about nicki minaj this video is about roxanne why are they even being compared let alone hair and weave ..damn enjoy the old school rap stop being so negative...you don't like it don't listen ...this one one of hip hops greatest times they were having fun!

  • I'm just trying to figurr

  • why does everyone keep saying peace?

  • @jonahmarieful because that's how it is. peace.

  • yall stop being stupid. you know damn well that is not her her/ she has been getting ponytails sense day one

  • That's a young Lin Que (Isis) from the Group X-Clan at :45.

  • i wasn't even thought of when this came Out! Roxanne is #Dope Thoe!!

  • You have to be cocky and arrogant to be a decent rapper or you might as well hang it up. It goes hand in hand. Some rap careers don't last forever so I'm glad that Shante at least had her education to fall back on. These fast-food rappers out now better take note or they'll be cleaning toilets in 2 years. [This song is]One of the best.

  • i love how MuzikJunkyAES defends roxanne lol

  • Team Roxanne! Screw them grown ass men who need to make 500 songs to get their point through to a young girl, she just needed this!

  • The Best FreeStyle .... Female Rapper of all Time

  • @oceanbeachvictor yup; she is!.

  • Can somebody tell me why she's mumbling?

  • @Divasandsuperstar Read the description. Nobody's mumbling. Peace.

  • @MuzikJunkyAES No. I'm completely right. She really does mumble alot. #NickiMinaj all day. Peace

  • @Divasandsuperstar no she does not because i no all the lyrics. you're mind just cant keep up. this isn't for the slow minded.

  • @idontnoapassword Slow minded are calling yourself that? Because I don't know if your not hearing properly, but she's clearly mumbling. So I get it, it's your kind of music that you like that is "Illiterate" music 4 ur mind. Ok I understand. Nicki Minaj the BEST female rap artist of all time. So thankful that she came to stop with all of this crap, garbage music.

  • @Divasandsuperstar dude, just get off of youtube man!

    that was the dumbest thing ive heard since they pronounced o.j not guilty. man your a fucking dumb ass mutherfucker man. i cant believe you actually said that. Then you ranted on about nicki minaj WTF? MAN IF I WAS YOU i wouldn't reply to this message. You going to say something stupid again.

  • @idontnoapassword K. Name one shit Roxanne Shante album that went #1? I'll be waiting.

  • @Divasandsuperstar It's not about going number one. It's about skills. The best emcees never went to the top of the charts. Peace.

  • @MuzikJunkyAES Yup, and that's why her skills are not notice in Hip Hop. Nobody really knows her since BET's Female MC Show.

  • i told you shouldn't send me a message. Name one shit roxanne Shante album that went #1? What do you mean #1? How about you tell me one song that nicki minaj freestyled in one take that made it to the top 100 GREATEST  hip hop songs. under #42. I never said anything about her rapping i said she wasn't the mumbling. How can you even compare a freestyle rapper to a commercial rapper? You have to be the dumbest person i know. BTW- gratest female rapper is some were along missy elliot or lil kim

  • @idontnoapassword Your well dumb eh. Do you make sense? And what do I mean number 1 obviously Billboards fool. You know u should really seek some education, before u run off ur dutty mouth off. And Nicki hasn't even been around that long to be apart of the countdown. In less than 1 yr, she was the biggest thing that entered into Female rapping. Don't get me wrong Roxanne has good lyrics, but she's just partial. While Nicki is #1 and the most prosperous female rapper ever.

  • @idontnoapassword No, and if u want to get factual than we'll get factual, it doesn't matter if this person is commercialized. I mean isn't that were every artist want 2 be in to become affluent in the game. Basically, I proved that Nicki is better than Shantaes whole entire career. But yo I'm telling you right now, if ur going to get at me. Just be real and make sense. All I want is for ppl 2 stop hatin on new upcomers, we gotta learn 2 respect our new artist right now 4 keepin the game going.

  • @Divasandsuperstar WHAT?!

  • The Best Female Rapper of all time :

  • her hair was so long and pretty .

  • @PrettyFaceTavie As older folks would say, "she got that good grade of hair". And you know that it's hers because it's all the same texture and she only has a "twander" to secure it, not 100 hair pins and black pro styl gel.

  • @darkesthourglass haha , i kno thats right ! some of these "weave head" lil girls and grown women wish they could have hair like that !

  • and she was only 14 so of yall youngsters 20 ans 21s couldnt touch her

  • yall crazy ass youngsters t day listening to that nicki crap and li wayne watever this is when u had fun when u rapped and not all dat da mn cursingn and shyt

  • i like her voice

  • i usually dig old school rap, but damn this shit makes me want to vomit

  • Comment removed

  • @doox420 you go first. even krs-one knew roxanne is wack

  • Comment removed

  • wtf does this have to do with Nicki Minaj this video definitely says ROXANNE SHANTE

  • @elephantstuff ppl really need to stop hatin on nicki like what do she have to do with Roxanne Shante just let Nicki do her own thing all yall haters have to do is dnt pay attention all yall doin is makin her more famous duh ! ! ! ! ! !

  • @CheekyRikki yes your right with the all the hating on nicky she getting more famous but i think people is missing the diversity & lyrically in hip hop today

  • you guys are forgeting a living legend of the 80's rap,try listenin to KRS1

  • "Roxanne' in dope ass hell

  • Roxanne.....Roxanne I love you. Never will i stop loving you.

  • @Consumate100 K, 1st off, the name is Adrienne; never born in the ghetto, never lived in the ghetto, but of course because I like Nicki you assume that I am & because you could neither agree nor disagree w/my comment, you decided to try to insult me, when I didn't insult you or anybody else on here. Upset? Yes, but not at you even though I know you'd like to think so, but at the constant need to tear down other artists to lift other artists up when it is SO UNNECESSARY. NOW, I'm done.

  • @Consumate100 So with all of that said, any other reply to this comment that I wrote MONTHS ago is automatically getting ignored -_-

  • @Consumate100 OK. 1st of all as for bringing Minaj up on here, talk 2 the person who UNNECESSARILY brought her up & got in the top comments. I like Roxanne Shante & I love MC Lyte & I LOVE Queen Latifah & I love Nicki. I don't think she's true hip hop but I do think NM is a very good rapper. That's my opinion & always will be & I'm stating it like everybody who is stating theirs (even though I seem 2 be the only one who can state my opinions like opinions & not like facts). ....

  • Shanté always my favourite Roxanne, never gettin bored of the voice.

    Oh yeah, I love 1980's hip-hop comparisons: 'Like corn on the cob, you're always tryin' to rob'.

  • lol well,she is ownage rlly,but still,have u watched the movie Beef ? watch it it explainz alot

  • ownage,but still krs is 1 ^^

  • this song is like a mantra which get me into trance

  • shes my aunt 4real no joking shes really my aunt

  • Who is Nicki Minaj? Anyway I remember listening to this Roxanne war stuff back in the 80's when I was a teen. I hated her voice then. Today it is okay but she still looks like a total bitch.

  • LOL MY MOM LOVE DIS SONG ITS BACK IN HER DAYS I LOVE IT 2

  • @Lovelee5681 That's because the video was taped to the rerecorded version instead of this version, the original version, which you would've noticed had you read the description. Peace.

  • 4 people love nicki minaj

  • Plus I hate when ppl call Nicki or any other rap artist for that matter "wack" just bcz they don't like them--especially when they're topping Billboard charts. If I don't like somebody (like Soulja Boy) I simply say "I don't like his music" but I can't call him wack bcz he has millions (or thousands) of fans.

    But this is Roxanne Shante's video & not Nicki Minaj's, therefore I'm done.

  • ok....In most of the older rap vids if the rapper is male...they say"This is better than Lil Wayne blah blah." 100% of the time it's true. But there is NO NEED to INJECT HIS NAME in a classic vip post.

    Now I have discovered a disturbing new trend. Comparing a 1984-85 female artist to Nicki Minaj(or WTF the spelling is) I mean....YO! WHAT THE FUCK? I dont support her or WEEZY F BABY a.k.a. KISS A MANNINDAMOUF ...But I do NOT mention them when I'm watching artists that I do like or support.

  • @SaintIzzle Yes I was just comin' back 2 say something like this. I didn't wanna start a Nicki Minaj argument or nothin' but I'm so tired of going 2 old skool rap videos & seeing ppl say stuff like "She'll shit on Nicki Minaj anyday" & stuff like that not just bcz I'm a Minaj fan but I'm just tired of seeing it. Ppl always gotta compare ppl--especially black ppl (women most particularly). (...running out of space...)

  • ok....In most of the older rap vids if the rapper is male...they say"This is better than Lil Wayne blah blah." 100% of the time it's true. But there is NO NEDD to INJECT HIS NAME in a classic vip post.

    Now I have discovered a disturbing new trend. Comparing a 1984-85 female artist to Nicki Minaj(or WTF the spelling is) I mean....YO! WHAT THE FUCK?  I dont support her or WEEZY F BABY a.k.a. KISS A MANNINDAMOUF ...But I do NOT mention them when I'm watching artists that I do like or support.

  • even aliens say she is outa space!

  • whoever said the beats are wack marly marl man dope

  • The 'Real' Roxanne right here. F F F F PHReshhhhhhh Go On Girrrrl!!!

  • CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yo! is that ISIS(LIN QUE) of X Clan fame at 0:45 or am I buggin?

  • @lockandload042774

    nope; you're not bugging; that's her.

  • Hang on a minute..........Roxanne’s Revenge. Uuuummm sound familiar, don’t see Roxanne talking about paying homage and calling shots thought, and that’s why you are so good Roxanne. Such an inspiration, as our team listens to this we are making our way to our parents music collections. There is nothing like old school. Old School is the way forward. ;-) Check our channel

  • @ItsaHipHopera Check out Roxanne watch?v=9A3wO1o3lds. Mc Lyte & Queen Latifa responded back. Roxanne also comment on Kim & Nicki beef. & she was waiting for Nicki to respond.

    Nicki diss Kim in 07 & continue to do so, while trying to take Kim style. Nicki only took Roman Revenge, what else she took from Roxanne.

  • @TasiaIdol3Fan Just watched it. Thanks for the heads up. She went in!!!

  • She is so pretty on here, that was true rap in the 80's, and its Dr. Ro0xanne now!! Yes she has her Doctorate in Psychology, way to go my long time friend, and rap icon, you are in the history books.

  • @RJW27 The PhD thing, unfortunately, seems to be a hoax. Peace.

  • @RJW27 Score!

  • @RJW27 No she doesn't, she made the whole thing up. She already admitted to not having any college degrees at all.

  • aaaaaahhhhhhh this shit is DOPE

  • she can blow nicki minaj out of the water

  • I love this! Love her flow & I actually like her voice despite ppl talking about how squeaky it is.

    For the record, I'm a 90s baby & I LOVE NICKI MINAJ. She's an excellent rapper & her lyrics are extremely clever. I think ppl should give her a chance & LISTEN 2 her lyrics before they judge. The things she writes may not match up w/the beginnings of hip hop but that doesn't mean she's trash. Look past the clothes & animation & LISTEN first.

    :-)

  • @awarren92 But her beats are wack! Peace.

  • @MuzikJunkyAES

    Your opinion; I think her beats are okay.

    U said peace like u just schooled me or somethin' :-/

  • @MuzikJunkyAES Nicki's lyrics are whack her beats are nice. All in all I salute Nicki for bringing female rap to the mainstream, finding other things to talk about than sex and being overly raunchy (again, OVERLY ranchy...Nicki Lewinski is still a little raunchy). But its her time.

  • @MuzikJunkyAES compare the beats that playing now please there is no base this is 1983 1984 u missed hip hop when it evolving from the begining.

  • @MuzikJunkyAES her beats aren't wack u is WHack

  • @awarren92 Nicki MINAJ doesnt belong in the rap game she has no lyrics and beats. all she is a seed of lil wayne and his fake ass crew.

  • @VIKTORVOGHNDOOM Okay.

  • @awarren92 but the thing is she actually wrote her music. nicki minaj dunit. and her beats are wack as shit.

  • Comment removed

  • @jdaking1 i can take a song like your love and you no howmany people wrote that song? She helped to but she 3 other white dudes wrote that song. Ill take a song like we made it. the only people who sang that song are busta and swiss beats and they both wrote it. Busta rhymes just did a song with chris brown and lil wayne and i can tell that he wrote that song and made the beat. or the song right thru me by nicki minaj. 5 people wrote that song. BEfore rappers wrote songs. not no body white boys

  • Where is my 80's crew that use to speak pig latin?

  • Man i wish rapper today rapped like that & i wish i was born during that time, & in NewYork !

  • @musiclover77able I was 7 when this song came out too.................unforgetta­ble!

  • lin que serving drinks...lol...

  • Skilled lady lyricists like Shante, Salt n Pepa, and Oaktown .357, for a long time, ushered in an era of female solidarity, continued with the likes of MC Lyte and Queen Latifah.

    ...and the Lil Kim came along and FUCKED IT UP!

  • @UdoShan @UdoShan Well said, Udo, but I disagree with the mention of Oaktown's 357. One halfway-decent song, marginal lyrics, and no beats. All Li'l Kim had was a good flow but no lyrics. Peace.

  • @MuzikJunkyAES Um what about Nicki? She aint got shit then...lol

  • @ajholditdownbaby And you know that! Peace.

  • @UdoShan dont forget laryn hill/ from the FUGEES 

  • @VIKTORVOGHNDOOM

    Oh snap, how COULD I forget Lady Hill, the LAST great female MC to emerge!

  • @UdoShan lil kim foxy brown missy elliot remy ma eve trina jacki o and keys the problem are lyricist just about everybody accept nicki minaj and khia

  • @krazicid I agree w/you...!

  • Can't beat the oldskool.

  • I remember being disappointed going what the hell was that? Why was that not the version I heard?!

  • Shante ma baby girl!! Why you have to make a record bout me....the 3 to the seventeen!!

  • WHY IN THE WORLD DOES NO MATTER WHAT FEMALE MC WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SHE IS ALWAYS COMPARED TO NICKI!? I MEAN IF YOU DON'T LIKE NICKI GOOD FOR YOU BUT SHE IS HERE AND WILL BE HERE FOR A WHILE SO GET OVER ALL THE COMPARISONS! GOOD JOB ROXANNE SHANTE' :)

  • My name is Roxanne , but they call me shanté !

  • And to think idiots today are listening to Nicki Minaj. This is REAL hip-hop.

  • @unklelemmy stfu

  • @TheMstete17

    Witty comeback there. How long did it take you to think that up? Shit, that was almost as good as Nicki Minaj's "rapping"

  • New York spawned the best rapper...male or female Whatever!

  • Geiler Beat!!!!!Süsse Maus!!!!!

  • She slept with Marley to get those jeans...(Straight from her mouth)

  • @geminigem75

    really? she told you this?

    to my knowledge, she never got the jeans. what she got was a new life as "roxanne shante'". much more valuable than a pair of sergio's.

  • i love you !

  • Roxanne Shante is THE Queen of Hip Hop, always will be. She never caught a breath in this track and i know every word off by heart. A true stone cold CLASSIC !

  • I NOTICED SOMETHIN ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE , THEY DOG OUT NIKKI MANAJ , & SOULJA BOY , BUT THEY NEVER SAY NOTHIN ABOUT WHITE WACK ARTISTS NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF MUSIC. I CUBE SAID IT " THE BLACK COMMUNITY IS FULL OF ENVY "

  • @jbthegrinder how do you know who is black on here? STFU. What envy? Bill Gates...Oprah... has more money than any emcee on the planet. Why envy a rapper when you can hate on Gates? lol I remember when having an opinion was just that...an OPINION. Who do you consider a "WACK WHITE ARTIST?' WHO? There are negative comments all over this site, kiddo. and who would knowingly go on a "WACK WHITE ARTIST'S"(your Words) video page, knowing they are wack....and comment? well..maybe you might.

  • @SaintIzzle get my dick out ya mouth hater

  • way better then that lil kim clone clown nicki minaj lol

  • Dip with the fur coats. No Peta. lol.

  • @ElectAPromQueen ROFLMFAO! Peace.

  • she was one of the few female rappers that could hang wit those guys back in the da.u got to love that voice!!!

  • She prolly played with barbies at that age and could beat Nicki Manaj at a battle

    .....even though I dont think babries were around back then?

  • Who the fuck is Nicki Manaj?

  • @TheCrawler333 - Ha ha ha ha! EXACTLY!

  • @TheCrawler333 the queen of hip hop

  • @TheCrawler333 haaaattteeeerrr

  • @TheCrawler333 she is so much better than minaj

  • She calls out kangols name,it's not like mc's /rappers today,who make hints and sideway cat calls at who they don't like,back in the day they just said your name, like fuck you,this video is nice as fuck ,all the ladies in this video come off as sexy without being slutty,this is a real street video, not modern day crap.

  • this is my live 85' shit ...a b-boy who couldnt get enough of u.t.f.o. and roxanne....the queens and kings of my life...my religion has many gods and these are some at the top of the list...i miss these times,when being original and coming with different styles for everything was the norm....now all we got is some big ass biters....this is my life,thanks for adding this video to it

  • this is my live 85' shit ...a b-boy who couldnt get enough of u.t.f.o. and roxanne....the queens and kings of my life...my religion has many gods and these are some at the top of the list...i miss these times,when being original and coming with different styles for everything was the norm....now all we got is some big ass biters....this is my life,thanks for adding this video to it

  • wheres the fat one !! pmsl

  • This jawn reminds me of my brother.. R.I.P. Drew!! He used to make watch this over and over. Thanks for posting this, just went to like my baby memory lane damned near! Nice!

  • i'm only 16, can someone explain to me the whole roxanne diss situation, I know she dissed somebody, but who? lol

  • @bklynchicka994 Listen to UTFO's "Roxanne, Roxanne". She is taking on the character Roxanne from that song, and she's dissing the men singing it. The beginning when she says "the name of a hat", she's talking about the lead rapper of UTFO "Kangol". :)
