Roxanne Shante or The Real Roxanne???? All old school hip hop heads out there...which Roxanne did you like the best?
Roxanne Shante or The Real Roxanne I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.
I am not taína. Taíno is in me, but there is no way back. I am not european. Europe lives in me, but I have no home there. I am new. History made me. My first language was spanglish. And I am | |

I actually don't have a preference. Shante had some good singles back in the day. To this day, I constantly get Have a Nice Day stuck in my head, and Bite This is also a good track. Early on in her career, she just sounded way too young. But I love a few of The Real Roxanne's tracks, too. Romeo is good, but it's mostly Full Force's presence - and not her skills - that makes it a good one. | |

Ealise The Original Roxanne she recorded Full Force's official answer record "The Real Roxanne" with U.T.F.O very complicated...she resembles the Puerto Rican chick who became the official Real Roxanne. I don't know exactly why Full Force didn't keep her. The 2 Real Roxanne's whereabout are unknown...however Dr.Roxanne Shante has a succesful Physcology practice in NY...so I hear. I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.

I definitely like The Real Roxanne's album but I love Shante's voice and her material ALOT. Alot. | |

I liked them both equally....Shante was off the chain she had a potty mouth. I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.

I don't know exactly why Full Force didn't keep her. I'll tell you why Full Force didn't keep her. It's because she sucked! That Real Roxanne single from the UTFO album was horrible--some of the worst rapping I have ever heard. Thankfully FF replaced her later with someone who actually had some skills. "Bang, Zoom", "Howie's Teed Off" and "Roxanne's On A Roll" was a hundred times better than "The Real Roxanne." | |

Ok,I'm confused now....
In 1988,there was a song called "Respect" by some woman known as "The Real Roxanne".I remember seeing the video on BET.She was a sexy Puerto Rican chick (a song on her album is titled "Puerto Rican and Proud").Anyone remember this song? I'm pretty sure it was produced by Full Force? "Yo man wants to be my slave I'll put him on a short leash to make him behave" Anyway,I don't think this is the same "Real Roxanne" who appeared on the earlier UTFO song and video.At least it doesn't look like her? And I think "Roxanne Shante" is another whole person who had absolutely nothing to do with the UTFO song...right? | |

A few months ago I was siding with The Real Roxanne based surely on the strength of "Bang Zoom (Let's Go Go)," but lately I've been more keen on Roxanne Shante. The girl can rap, she has sass and their highly memorable. Loved her in Frankie Cutlass' "The Cypher (Part III)." "Roxanne's Revenge" is a classic, too. And the battleraps against UTFO can't be stopped! | |

Oh my, I remember her she performed at my high school in Queens NY back in 86'. My friends and I bumped into her and security in the girls bathroom. She was pretty and looked our age. She looked kinda nervous. Later she performed the first song was good. But the second she couldn't remember the lyrics. She was replaced soon after that. Remember it's not hard to find a rapper in NYC LOL | |
