Aaah....There lies an interesting but confusing story... :-?
If you recall the relatively safe rap battles on vinyl between Roxannes BITD...
here is The Real Roxanne who UTFO sang about in their song (circa 1985) "Real Roxanne". "Roxanne Roxanne". etc.


very attractive, and quite good at the time.

Roxanne Shanté on the other hand, was quite a much more competent rapper, from the Bronx:



She apparently is making a comeback of sorts. She stood the test of time. If you're an old skooler like moi, you'll remember "live on stage", etc. Produced by Marly Marl. Classy stuff...
Also, IIRC, Full Force did something quite exciting with the Real Roxanne BITD...

Sorry...I've had a few beers today, so the memory buds hve been severly damaged :-? :evil: :roll:

The original beat was "Big Beat" by Billy Squier - remade on a drummachine.
