can you imagine being there when she was 14 dissing UTFO in between doing laundry for her mom>? 14! If she were male the industry would have sky rocketed her career. She got taken advantage of and abused. Today's rappers owe her for opening doors and need to give her the recognition she deserves!
Fam there is no way this shit was off the head. This is written. It only is considered a freestyle if its a rhyme people havent heard. You cant kick no album verse and call it a Freestyle/Off the head... And in the West there was no such thing as a freestyle if it wasn't something you made up on the spot *off the top of the head*. No shade these are facts...
Both of these Women are Iconic and trail blazers in their own rights. Mrs. Shante came through but looking at it in hindsight being 53 year old now, one would not have been good without the other because both DELIVERED ❤ You gotta give due Respect to these early pioneer ladies in the Rap game. One Love❤🖤💚
Sparky Deep had those lyrics and that flow and base in her voice ..... Roxannes voice is just so cute and no one can ever imitate that...Her flow is on point as well.
2 rappers battling each other on the same track tells you that this wasn't a beef. This was competition. To see who was better on the Mic. No beef and no snitching.
Roxxan Shanté is the Goddess of Rap man!! It’s a pity her rap scene was short but Boi she made a mark that will never ever be replace even now with the female rappers we got!!! Jezz!! 🤫
Drake bodied Meek in both disses and he has been the hottest rapper in the game for 10 years straight. Drake underrated and still number one in the game. How you figure that he needs to take notes🤔
UNHOLY PRIEST you sound like a straight up hater. Drake most certainly does write his own rhymes. Only people who don’t respect that man’s hustle use that wack ass rumor to discredit his success.
No you wasn't.. you was born in the right time.. an OG told a dude on Instagram he was born in the right time cause the most high chosen him to be born on that date..
What I love about this is that I lived through this era when dis rap was common ON THE RADIO where the world could hear it and NO ONE EVER GOT SHOT!!! Non of that punk ass retaliation shit. They had heart and could take it unlike these week ass rappers today!!
I definitely agree! I was one of 5 white guys total at Southwest HS...She was THE WORLD to me, my pretend Queen LOL....I wrote rock lyrics on the bus to and from school...I had dudes passing my notebook around rapping to my songs. Which were mostly about dragons and knights etc lol...It was dope as hell! Even the bus driver had fun with it LOL
"Ya got braces in ya mouth/Ya full of disgust/Don't bother drinkin' water/'Cause your mouth will rust."-----Sparky "Ya live in Brooklyn/Ya ain't good lookin'/Yes I heard all about your cookin."LMAO --Shante Two legends goin' at it on some ruff shit. Word up.
I'm just trying to picture this recording...if someone can correct please do.. is this is a first ever done...live freestyle...live battle face to face in one room with one mic... just trying to picture how intense that room felt while they were recording it...I'm surprised they didn't come to blows right after! After watching the movie I was surprised that something like this actually went down! as a little hip hop head from the west coast I never get to see or hear about these type of stories...only heard what was hot on the radio at the time...but was there ever a conversation about this? Something like this needs to be in the smithsonian as a historical fact or something... man i need to do more digging in the crates...
ONESnTWOS I produced this record. SHANTE and Sparky was actually mad Cool when we did this EP but once the Sparky D first few lines, SHANTE through all the friendship out the window. She is a natural freestyle rapper while Sparky was more of a recording artist. Neither one of them wanted to do this recording because they had had enough of dissing one another. For the record, I told Sparky no matter what SHANTE said, do not start cursing as that was not her style. After this, they had to patch their friendship up all over again. This is real Hip Hop. Fierce rivalry. Even more fierce friendship.
For the record no female rapper wanted a freestyle battle with Shante in the mid 80s to early 90s. After Big Mama Shante team requested a battle with Lyte but her team refused. Shante was raw and she would've murdered Lyte in a freestyle battle! Lyte was overall a better artist but she had ghostwriters like every other female artist!
+huh homework been done! Yes Shante had a ghostwriters but I made reference to her freestyle & battle skills! And still none of the girls back then wanted it!
+huh each of these girls had male dominated crews. And as someone who writes and have been in studio settings. At times it could easily become a collaborative effort. Yo say it like this etc...or change that line and sat this...IJS
+Only1KevG ok who wrote Boss lyrics? who wrote lady of rage or Heather b lyrics? who wrote bahamadia raps or Sista souljah or the original suga tee first female on wax and her mom was produced? who wrote left eyes or latifah or mone luv raps??
Both of these young ladies was talented as hell I like how they did a battle so both of them could keep their careers popping and make money. Shante ended up doing something real professional. I don’t know what happened to Sparky, but she was my girl too. I give a shout out to both of you because you guys were the actual beginners of all these ladies, miss Heather Heather being you guys salute to all y’all for making a way for all the other ladies that came up today🫡🙏🏽🔥
Look people, I am very happy this has turned into a movie and that Roxanne Shante gets some spotlight....but for those who know and for those who do not know...lets not forget that before Roxanne there were many other female MCs that deserve equally much credit if not more...female rappers like ShaLaRock from the Funky 4 plus 1, Lisa Lee, The Sequence, Lady D, Lady B, Tanya Winley, Xanadu & Sweet Lady and many others...
That was fire 🔥the movie was 🔥I miss my generation female rappers . I'm still blasting her music in my truck in 2018. I still think Roxanne shante is 1 of the best rappers of all time .
I remember when this beef kicked up fall 84 Mr. Magic and them kept this goin but it was good for rap."Well Im Sparky Dee and I come from the 'Ville/ I represent the Play girls we Max and MIl/"Damn this joint is taking me to when rap and everything else was all good "The 80's!" Thanx for that homeboy.
Roxanne Shante deserves a lot more recognition than she gets. 14 years old! She was legendary after her first record!
That female canine doesn't deserve a damn thing. It's The Real Roxanne that deserves the recognition.
Lyrically, Shante is dangerous, great skills and word play, very quick. She's up there with the best of them 🙏💪🥊💥

And all she did was flow off top. She hated writing
"The R-O-X-A-N-N-E
Step off my shit, Ms. Sparky D!"
That was when I knew she was about to pop off.lolol!
What people dont know is....this was off the head!!!!!!
freestyle
Yeah, in NYC we also call it " off the top of your head"
Not exactly, but sort of
@@RadagastBrown420 off the head!!!

I paused “Roxanne Roxanne” to watch this haha classic shi.
Sparky Dee came hard but Roxanne got it ha
EXACTLY what I've just done! Happy memories.
Lol I just did the same
Sparky dee got one foul mouth
Fr😭
She woulda won if Shante let her get a verse in towards the end in my opinion.
Roxanne was lyrically dangerous
Yes
A 15 year old kid she was murdering shit

Remember seeing her in the QB back in the day. She used to be able to throw.
Sparky Deep had those lyrics and that flow and base in her voice ..... Roxannes voice is just so cute and no one can ever imitate that...Her flow is on point as well.
U are cute too
@@JGheddo S.I.M.P
Sparky D got her ass cut up to shreds something terrible going up against Roxanne Chante...
No contest, not even close...
I feel like sparky D had lyrics to. I didn't hear much repeating I her lyrics and that's what I like. I liked Roxanne too.
Say word
Roxanne was chill at the beginning then she went off
What? Her FIRST line was "Get it right bitch Roxanne Shante!" There was NO chill in her on the mic.
Did anybody else notice that while Shante was dissing her she still respected by calling her Ms. Sparky Dee (Shante was 16 and Sparky Dee over 20)?
They toured together ✌🏿
Yes...the beef was manufactured.
Exactly 💯
So it doesn’t mean they got on, business is business..Sparky D could not lace Shante,s trainers 👟..Facts..Greatest female emcee ever
much respect to both of them sisters,,, they both went in,,, Roxanne Shante got the best of Sparky D hands down...
100% CORRECT!
ruclips.net/video/cwyQCikKvuU/видео.html watch roxanne win a grammy in london!!
Fuck no shante got ripped like shit
@@KennyMacDC yeah she got ripped....biting Roxanne's rhymes
@@SupremeNerd o yea 😂😂
Shante roasted her entire life though.
She Said Sparky Dee Fuked Herself With A Pickle 😂😂 They Were Going In Tho #Dope just saw the movie 👍👍
Aztro Life 😂😂😂😂
She looked like the type to do some shit like that
2 rappers battling each other on the same track tells you that this wasn't a beef. This was competition. To see who was better on the Mic. No beef and no snitching.
Damn roxanne is amazing, the way she rides the beat, her voice and delivery she is better than most dudes.
Roxxan Shanté is the Goddess of Rap man!!
It’s a pity her rap scene was short but Boi she made a mark that will never ever be replace even now with the female rappers we got!!!
Jezz!! 🤫
Please drake and meek please take note
Yes PLEASE
mcbrotherhill chill meek got bars
UNHOLY PRIEST yea sales dont say so...
Drake bodied Meek in both disses and he has been the hottest rapper in the game for 10 years straight. Drake underrated and still number one in the game. How you figure that he needs to take notes🤔
UNHOLY PRIEST you sound like a straight up hater. Drake most certainly does write his own rhymes. Only people who don’t respect that man’s hustle use that wack ass rumor to discredit his success.
DAMNNN MOM WAS I WAS BORN IN 93 I BEEN ROBBED MAJORITY OF ALL GOOD ERA RESPECT TOO THEM
Lol.
So you know, THIS is what REAL freestyle sounds like. Flubs and all. Not that plasticy, perfectly prewritten bs they call Live and Off the Dome.
No you wasn't.. you was born in the right time.. an OG told a dude on Instagram he was born in the right time cause the most high chosen him to be born on that date..
Can't say they had ghost writers, they start to (REALLY) freestyle" and make sense...lol...the rebudles was fire !!!..on both ends...yo.this was dope
la frfr
shante killed sparkey.
Steve Read all the time
Killed it...micDrop
Shante killed EVERYBODY!
What most people don’t know is this whole thing was freestyled
Bull
@@LadyDuchess lmaoo no cap. It was taken in one take, i saw both of them say it on the Roxanne Documentary
They both were dope and killing it. Nice battle!
Roxanne spazzed on Sparky D on that last verse😫
Shawn Steed ikr. That’s what took the cake. At first sparky was at her neck
Shawn Steed she really did lol
Roxanne was free styling omg u can tell
Was Roxanne really 15 in this battle??
Flexb123 yes 🔥🔥🔥💯
Yes sir & would destroy anyone who wanted to battle😁
Yup...she came out after utfos Roxanne Roxanne...at the age of 14...she's hands down one of the best female battle rappers of all time..
@Catherine Njoki Ngongoi yeah she was a battle rapper
At 15 years old she was goin Gold!!! I♥️Roxanne Shante!!!
They both were good but ROXANNE ROCKED HER ON THAT LAST VERSE!!!
That was tight. Even Sparky D would kill all the modern rappers.
mjdc2505 stop
TRUTH.
Without a doubt!☺️
You must have heard something the rest of us didn't. 🤣
yes I agree Roxanne Shante the best female rapper of all times...
I disagree lady of rage could serve her. also big daddy Kane wrote alot of her lyrics
+huh It says this was off the top of her head! Plus even when Kane or Biz Marky wrote her rhymes she was still the a killer!
+John Feeney Sister Kane wrote Biz rhymes for him. Like Make the Music with your mouth Biz. that's just one Kane wrote he did songs for him.
Lady of rage sucked wtf
Lmao not
Wow they are still rocking the mic in 2016. Shante is still doing shows and Sparky D has her new book out on Amazon.
2023
What I love about this is that I lived through this era when dis rap was common ON THE RADIO where the world could hear it and NO ONE EVER GOT SHOT!!! Non of that punk ass retaliation shit. They had heart and could take it unlike these week ass rappers today!!
Sparky dee started off hard and then melted into the background
Sparky was like I'll give you the mic lol. This is a good battle
Roxanne Shante isTHE BEST female MC of all time. It's not right she hasn't gotten more recognition. She is the #1 ATG
no lady of rage
Lauryn Hill is the greatest female rapper of all time
No doubt!
@@vainglorious101 definitely top 5
@@vainglorious101she’s not an mc
Shante last verse was hard as hell at 14yrs 15yrs old 35yrs ago... Crazy
Roxanne Shante won this battle
Shante won hands down 😩😩😩😩😩 she murdered her 😞
Tt brown She wasn't playing no playing no game. 😂😂😂😂
Dope but Roxanne Shante won that
It's amazing how everyone wanted a piece of Roxanne LMAO
Yes, Shante' is the most challenged MC of all time.
I definitely agree! I was one of 5 white guys total at Southwest HS...She was THE WORLD to me, my pretend Queen LOL....I wrote rock lyrics on the bus to and from school...I had dudes passing my notebook around rapping to my songs.

She have mad soul thats why

Both are pioneers in the game. Truly talented women. Love them.
I so remember this album. My mother took it from me when i had the cassette tape blasting this on my cheap boom box.. so real, like yesterday
Just heard this on her new netflix movie
Old School Rules!These Lady,s went at it.
hell YEA! i gave it to Roxanne. ....i remember listening to shit when it was happening
Classic battle! Sparky Dee was cool but Shante' killed it, especially at the end.
Its amazing that they are rapping off the top of their heads and roxanne had skills at a young age!
Roxanne .. a license to kill and permit to bury.. nuff said..
I truly love the old school battle. Love both Shante and Sparky Dee
Great Memories Even Though They Are Lifelong Friends in Real Life
Sparky went for it but Roxanne stole the mic and totally took over. You already know who the best 😁😁
Sparky D took the early lead..but Shanted killed her on that last verse
shante had this from the start baby
+Renza BossDaddy from the get. Sparky DOA
ok, Shante Killed this. I never understand people who try to say sparky won. Sparky was over before Shante even stated
facts she was who lil kim was in her time lil kim was who rox was in her time
JAY-V Savage - RAH DIGGAH IS A REAL FE-MC!!!! ✌😔
yes! her young age was part of what was so amazing about her freestyle ability and self confidence.

"I'm Sparky Dee & you should know, I got pretty long hair and yours won't grow"
Ink Pen Roxanne had long hair too tho lol
Christa Faye that’s what I was saying. Roxane had more hair than her is what it looked like.
@@jadejones8535 exactly!! That was one of her trademarks!! Her long hair and braces, but mostly her long hair
@@Ebony_Eyes830 this after she cut her hair

I would luv to hear a battle between Shante and Cardi . Lol
@GambitDamit74
