[@lorddrac_dontaskmetodance]

@@leahmoten3231 she slayed it, though. She took the money and ran.

[@leahmoten3231]

Grindcore Racer 67 she had to give the person that wrote the song money to tho 😂

[@ebonyporter2053]

Who wrote it

[@quinn8373]

She bodied them! Every verse was a punchline, just watched her Netflix biopic and seen she also birthed Nas. This woman will forever be untouchable.

[@richardeasleyjr.936]

Big facts!

[@OGseoulite]

Birthed Nas as in she mentored him or she’s his actual mother?

Before no Vaseline came out kool j dropped too the break of dawn

[@kenrickeason]

One of the best damn disses I ever heard! My Lord she with in on them...

[@TheDarkmanstallion]

She has to be regarded as legend cause she paved the way for a lot of females to be themselves not to mention she was the most raw and vicious female ever taken out men and women off the head skills was no joke

[@michaelcooke8989]

Didn't she go after k.r.s one also. She also was gonna tackle him in person in bank or the street. She said that in a interview.

[@shaylaboo]

Nah I'm sorry but mc lyte is the best

[@zimriel]

@@shaylaboo yeah, Steady f%ing was hilarious. and that wasn't even her best; check out "Shut the Eff Up". the Lyte shines and the roaches scatter

[@elam4u2]

This QUEEN WAS AND IS NO JOKE. She destroyed her counterparts with ease. THE TRUE QUEEN OF HIP HOP. THERE'S NEVER BEEN ANYONE that can flow like this. We love you sister and thank you for not SELLING THE FU.K OUT.

[@user-sg3zq9eu1i]

Im listening to this again! Fire inferno on they ashes 😂

[@elam4u2]

She is no joke She destroyed Monie and that so called Latifah. They could NEVER rival this QUEEN.

[@AceHaBeats]

She represents Queens and it shows. Real Queens style right there.

[@julieannewaller7541]

She started it. Queen said so in can't understand. Well that and she's down with opp.

[@GenoG1202]

This is absolutely THE MOST EPIC song in female rap history...the dissing will never be recreated...the lyrics...I mean Shante is just NUTTSSS on this...and wrote the whole thing with no sample!! This is, was and always will be an EPIC LEGEND in rap history!!!!🎉

[@floppy12k]

Grand daddy IU wrote the track

[@thelastdom]

Slayed them All.

[@austinbarry8978]

Yes, she did.

[@unknownunknown9296]

The female version of "No Vaseline".

[@prjextkatt217]

My 1st time hearing this nd definitely definitely is that female version of no Vaseline

[@_kgreen]

Her flow 0:57-1:01 and 2:45-2:50 is crazy yo, she just running that shit😩‼️

[@AnAdorableWombat1]

1:34 - 1:39 that’s that Method man flow

[@fredbjamz4956]

Nasty as hell. She went in on them!!! Underrated

[@k_perry]

Whew. She came hot and ready but the comeback disses from the other ladies were heat too. This was when they REALLY flowed in rap

[@empowermenteducation777]

Raw Talent. Lyrically one of the best female rappers in the world. The flow. The rhythm the the rhyme is masterfully done. All hail to Queensbridge...

[@nazmoore6279]

she was truly in a class of her own. legendary💯

[@MrSilksoul]

I remember when this first came out. We went to school the next day and was like DAMN!

[@sonjagaines-dorsey3377]

I was in JUNIOR HIGH school having rap battles and my classmates used to say that I reminded them of her! what a compliment!!

[@gaticusx2933]

she basically got blacklisted for this song ...but grand daddy I.U. wrote these lyrics...so he got black listed. that's why he never blew up like he really should. he was a dope writer, but he messed up writing this. and blood was almost shed over this. queen latifah was highly respected, and had goons behind her.

[@aaronflowers8881]

Man that's crazy cuz I didn't know that. Maybe that's why I didn't hear of Granddaddy til about 3 years ago.

[@harrygibson6725]

wow! now i know that the world will never realise real talents...roxanne shante issa lyrical demon

[@twoseriousdogs6762]

JESUS 😳 I be trying to tell ppl the hardest n get diss tracks all came from the golden era n before...

[@rhd244]

The hardest battle rap record ever period.

[@mikegrasty6225]

That my friend is a bold ass statement. I'm not sure I agree with Ether, 2nd round knockout, ripper strikes back, hit an up, kick in the door, bomb first, no Vaseline, every diss joint made by Em....this track is the truth no doubt. I just think that's a bold and rather rash statement.

[@aaroncreagh4402]

Shante.. Thanks for dropping this track back in the 90's. You are vicious!!!

[@LeafErikson]

I remember when I first heard this, my jaw was on the floor. Still is today...

[@QBall5568]

One of her best tracks. Wonder if this is why she was left out of VH1 Women of Hip Hop awards - all those she calls out were there that night. A legend.

[@aydicee]

[@charlesmonah2382]

Imma give her lyrical credit, .. I'm an 80's baby, and I'm From NJ, shante was ahead , because she started young, and in the 80's she was ripping, remember she was a single female artist.. salt and pepper was a two female group, sparky d was solo the other shante was single, you see didn't diss sweet t right..

[@LarryBennett-cc6kz]

QUEEN MISS SHANTE STRAIGHT SNAPPED ON EM ♥️👍🎵😎💯🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🏆🥰😍❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kanndyer]

Wow...alright...wow again. I had never heard about this young lady growing up...and I just read "Black Noise" which mentions Roxanne Shante, but limits her in the spotlight. Rather they highlight extensively the female rap artists that Roxanne so soundly blasts in Big Mama. Sounds like some more credit is due her. I am not a big fan of the swearing, just my own preference and age lol, but It is part of her story and her experiences which I or anyone could never discount, downplay or deny. But wow...so talented. As a teacher I marvel at the command rappers have over words and prose. It comes off so natural yet I realize the hard work that goes into creating a rap piece. I woud love to teach these skills to my elemetary students.

[@Inksplash52]

Wow I'm a huge Latifah fan and she went in on my girl 😢.

[@SoulDragonTV]

When Kool G. Rap’s on your team, a flow like this comes with the territory

OMG she came for Latifah??? omggg lawd.

[@awesome1990s]

Nikki Gloom yep Roxanne Shante didn't play games

[@cookiecrumbler9221]

I see Latifah didn’t say shit 😂

[@rlleo90]

Cookie Crumbler and they was talking about nicki when nicki didn’t respond latifah didn’t answer during the time rap beef was big and popular

[@demon2051]

She came for every female mc at the time

[@Pinkyyy_Akeraaa]

Cookie Crumbler this was actually a recreate of Latifahs “mama gave birth to the soul train” and queen did come back after her with her debut song “can’t understand”

[@jocquezmcfayden8864]

shawn watson Salt N Pepa: Somebody’s Getting on My Nerves MC Lyte: Steady Fucking These are two vicious come backs , do your hw! Lol, nevertheless Roxanne was a beast but she definitely had it coming. Lyte disrespected her on many levels.

[@shawnwatson2shawnwat]

Good looking. I missed these jams. Salt and Pepa and Lyte made their debus with dis records towards known artists.

[@alonzoturner8824]

When I heard this I thought it was something new, didn't know this was made back in the early 90's. You can hear tupac (round-and-round we go), latifah, and a bunch of other artist that came after this. This is where they got their flow?
