    I didn’t know who she was until I watched her movie on Netflix and I fell in love with her whole vibe. I went a RUclips and listened to her battle rapping dudes and this girl was like 14 and 15 years old. Rapping with no music or writing anything down. It’s a lot of people that came from the 80’s and 90’s that pave the way for artist today and nobody gives them props or respect for making the way. But I give my respect to Roxanne for opening the door for other female MCs.

    Unfortunately pioneers hardly get the recognition they deserve. But so long as this documentary | Unsung of Roxanne Shante aka The Godmother of Hip Hop exists there will be a new generation of females that will give props and pay homage...true or facts?

    Shanté doesn't need validation from anyone in the industry. Although so many other acts were more successful than her, we all understand how important her contributions to the formation of hip-hop was. She's moved on and she's not trying to get a second bite at the apple. Shanté has so much to be proud of.

They (Salt N Pepa and Latifah) are also the first female rappers in the win a Grammy. Salt N Pepa are the first female rap act to go gold and platinum.
      Also MC Lyte and YoYo have always shown respect to other female rappers

    As I’m concerned, she wasn’t the first female rapper. Millie Jackson did rapping, Teena Marie did a rap song and was amazing, and The Sequence did a rap song before Roxanne Shanté came out. And furthermore, you have to stay in the music game if you want to have a lot of recognition.

      Derrick Leachman I didn’t say they were rappers, I said they did rapping. There was also another called Blondie who rapped on her song “Rapture” (1980). The point is this... Stop thinking you are the “first” to do something and everyone HAS to look up to you. I don’t have anything against Roxanne, but it is bold to say you weren’t getting recognition from later female rappers as if everyone is supposed to give her recognition or say that they were inspired by her

    No disrespect, but she was always irritating. I never liked her voice.
    What bothered me the most about her was everytime someone made a hit record she would immediately come up with an insulting, unoriginal version over the same beat, slightly changing the lyrics. That took very little imagination, was not artistic and lacked creativity. She was a one trick pony - even biting the name Roxanne from UTFO when she dissed them using the exact same method. Like a Pat Boone of rap, mixed with Don Rickles, she was just trying too hard with no clear artistic direction of her own trying to mock others.
    I am a fan of battle rap, but it is corny and cynical to rap for the sole purpose of discrediting other emcees who are making hits just because you can't develop commercially succesful concepts of your own and have nothing better to do.
    She had talent but squandered it by being so one dimensional and trying to exploit and capitalize off of the success of other artists. That was a lazy approach as an emcee..
    Artists like Salt -N-Pepa were light-years better. That is why Shante doesn't get l Iove from the game; she dissed people just to come up off of their creativity by stealing their work, exploiting them and, in doing so, made a lot of enemies in the industry. KRS smoked her with one line.
    She was always envious, trying to tear down others on wax. Unprovoked, she dissed everyone she could starting beef just to get fame off of thier success. It worked - in the short term. Long term, not so much.
    She even lied about her education with that Ph.D. scandal. When caught, she doubled down.
    In my opinion, those are the REAL reasons why she is not as loved as Lyte, Latifah, Yo-Yo and others.
