[@michaelhunter8399]

Kool G. Rap wrote Big Mama and Straight razor for Roxanne Shante you can hear it in the lyrics, Roxanne Shante admitted in a interview that Kool G. Rap and Big Daddy Kane wrote her rhymes she said ain't no shame in my game she's still nasty Shante was real raw when she battled Sparky D. She didn't bite her tongue,. Didn't hold nothing back she ripped Sparky D. in rap battles they went back and forth. Those were some good rap battles back in the day, Shante battled Fruitkwan from Stetsasonic, Big Daddy Kane and KRS-ONE. She battled males and females she didn't care who you are, Shante was battling everybody. MC Lyte came back and diss Shante after this song called steady fucking with KRS-ONE it's on Utube Videos look it up

[@ugottaluvutube]

Grand Daddy IU wrote Big Mama. Yup. G Rap wrote Straight Razor. All of her early Pop Art hit records were freestyles, straight off the head.
