djvlad For the next interview you upload with Godfrey, you really need to ask him about what his overall thoughts are on Royce Da 5'9's freestyle that he did on Funk Flex. Also, you really need to ask him about what his overall thoughts are on Royce as an MC. That would be really amazing to see and I know a lot of people would love to see that as well.

[@georgekumria8652]

djvlad Also you really need to ask him about what his thoughts are on on the Brother Lynch Hung and Mozzy beef. That would be really interesting to hear what he has to say about that overall, especially from his perspective.

I started researching her after I saw that clip about her in the Beef DVD and she has many interviews out there where she is talking about going back to school and really helping her community without being loud about it. That day KRS stopped thinking of her as a little girl and respected her as a young woman and MC. Roxanne is the only person I seen bring Mo'Nique back to her childhood in a good way. I can't wait for the Monie Love story. Lauryn Hill, Rah Digga and all the Queens.

It's really nice she is getting her props now. She's been a legend in the eyes of those who listened to her growing up in the 80s. But most ppl never mention names like UTFO, Roxanne Shante when they talk about Hip hop these days.

Females act out of line and think they can disrespect you because they are females. The worse you can do is kill your momma or beat someone up weaker then you, stop reaching when you say the Worse thing you can do, yes if she is defenceless and she is the victim, then that's very bad, but a bitch wilding out and coming for you and attacking you and she is the aggressor, she deserve a good pop in the face. A disrespectful female trying hurt you, and attacks you and you can't even defend yourself that's bullshit. There is a lot of females that are stronger then some guys so they need to know there place and keep there hands to themselves. Don't hit anyone.

Mr. Woods - If you can beat MEN or boys (Idk how old you are) You could and SHOULD Already have a defensive fighting technique.

I went to Wbls in Nyc to do a interview with another dj and as I was coming in the building, Roxanne Shante and Marley Marl were coming off the elevator. I had all ready grown up listening to my fathers tapes of Marley Marl and Red Alert and to meet Roxane I was starstruck. I didn't know what to say. Roxanne said something to the effect of "We've been hearing about you. Nice to finally meet you." Shante was such a sweetheart.

[@andrewjames9091]

The Queen of Hip Hop in my opinion. “Roxanne Shanté stay creepin' You sleepin' but I stay armed, and dangerous. No matter what your name is, bitch I make you famous” That verse was so rad and so true, anyone who tried to diss Roxanne Shanté got their name out there. One of my first car mix tape cassettes that i would play back in 96-97 I think had that Frankie cuttless cypher part 3 track and I would always think “that girl has skills” little did I know she was already old school way back then. Then I herd that verse of that old stuff with biz beat boxing “we came here tonight to get started to cold act ill or get retarded” Oh mate I take my hat off to you legend. I got shivers down my spine hearing that. Down here in Australia we didn’t have a lot of access to it all back then so I used to record it off a radio show and fill shoe boxes with tapes lol.

[@reginalddavidson6965]

When I was growing up in Greensboro, North Carolina, back in the day, my father's best friend, who was from Philadelphia, would go home to visit his family from time to time and would bring back these WBLS mixtapes featuring DJ Marley Marl and the first song I remember by her was "Roxanne's Revenge". Thanks to my dad's friend, I used to have the nicest mixtape collections.

[@KtotheG]

The Bridge Is Over is the greatest dis record of all time. It's almost tied with No Vaseline. I don't care what any Tupac stan says. Like my man Books of Das Efx said, "I still get the chills when niggas play The Bridge Is Over." KRS rapping in a dancehall reggae cadence was already ill enough. His voice and enunciation were bold and crystal clear. The disses were delivered with such style and passion. The way he interpolated the lyrics to Billy Joel's It's Still Rock N' Roll To Me was genius: "what's the matter with your MC, Marley Marl, don't you know that he's out of touch?/ what's the matter with your DJ, MC Shan? On the wheels of steel, Marlon sucks/ You better change what comes out your speaker/ You're better off talkin' 'bout your wack Puma sneaker/ Cuz Bronx created hip hop/ Queens will only get dropped/ You're still telling lies to me/ Everybody's talkin' 'bout the Juice Crew, funny, but you're still telling lies to me." The beat was bare bones boom bap with hard drums, crashing cymbals and a simple stacatto melody being played on piano. KRS got inside that track with his voice and delivery and rocked that shit smooth like a mink coat to the floor. Damn, that shit was dope. Smh.

[@fonzaphreakinrelli]

Beyond facts! What some may not mention is the cadence and flow of the Juice Crew also sounded very elementary compared to KRS-One’s visceral assassin flow…it was so opposing to how they flowed. The Queens team’s flow still had innocence in their voices to a degree, but KRS came with the heat of hell, and there really was no way to match that. Your summary has to be arguably one of the best I’ve ever read about that song. I know the Hollis crew did their thing with Russell and the boys, but the annihilation of this one song, one borough to another, just might be eternal.

Learn about who influenced the artists you grew up listening to -- and who influenced them -- and who influenced them. Hip Hop has too many front-runners. Don't just be a hip hop 'fan' -- be a historian.This goes for me, too.

Facts

[@l.ahlgren7752]

Hip-hop fans are some of the most flash-in-the-pan, Johnny-come-lately, fad-loving, mutherfuckers to music. Others are cool, go digging for older music and learn. But most just want to look fresh, new and worry about pussy all day.

[@AR-ii3ly]

This may be old news but it’s nice hearing it from Shante’s own mouth. Hip hop may be dead, but interviews like these still keeps the flame burning.

[@vfujxdyhfr4786]

suaved Man you might as well forget it cause these lil kids ain’t gone listen

[@AmaricanBall729]

Her voice is so memorable and still unique to this day.

[@katsterling2226]

Some say ..”Hold up, Hold my phone.” Roxanne Shante..” Hold Up, HOLD THE BABY!👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽 It was wild when that entire thing went down.

[@dismisswillcorrupt84]

I love her voice 😍

[@d-dubb550]

I really, really like this lady... Had the pleasure of meeting her very briefly at a Juice Crew gig - humble but truly talented. One of the best rappers ever.

[@breatheoffreshair360]

Wait, wait, wait, "They're paying not to like you." I think that line went over some cat's heads! It's like a sin and their punishment is paying for disliking something or someone, "They're paying not to like you." You ever notice that whenever someone is hating on you. Your life seems better and brighter in their eyes. While it's the complete opposite for them. Like they're having a good time with their friends. Then as soon as you or your squad walks by their whole demeanor changes. Personally I think it's mad funny. I'm just saying, haha! Anyway, go ahead, Shante! I love your music, positive attitude and representing Hip-Hop to the fullest!! ~ @phurdrick ✊😋

[@taltorelli]

breatheoffreshair360 I like the fact that she mastered an ideology as a kid, that people alot older are still learning/and/or/ cannot comprehend.

[@9ninehd3]

I always liked Roxanne Shante. Love how she told KRS to not try and change the lyrics. I miss those days. The bride is over The bridge is over!! 2018.. Brooklyn all day!

[@phillystyles5223]

I used to be in love with this woman. Her music touched me in so many ways. Female legend is what she is.

[@PronounceGaming]

Shante's song, "Have A Nice Day" (response to KRS-One's, "The Bridge Is Over") was ghostwritten by Big Daddy Kane.

[@iconpoet]

Vlad is like the WORST Hiphop fan ever

[@younglo1005]

He's old and a DJ. It's his job to know artist like a teenager knows who lil Wayne is(whether they listen to him or not)

[@freddyfree9195]

Reggie Reg real talk....he didn't know KRS wanted to be part of The Juice Crew,i even knew that and I was just a toddler at the time....this is history

[@vincentstinson1481]

Reggie Reg he isn't a fan VLAD is aVULTURE.

[@milesdevlon]

Agreed

[@muxnod9857]

Vlad is an asshole.

[@lisaflagg3922]

Roxanne this is why we need part 2 on Netflix

[@GuavaConQueso]

From Jay-Z to krs to Nas to kool g rap to Kane to pun, these guys should be seen as contemporaries. Most of the forebears are still alive and we’re blessed history can still speak. Let’s hear her speak.

[@TheGodYmirFritz]

She will forever be the soul foundation of female rap to me, it all started with her.

[@curtisartis9321]

One of the greatest Mc' s of all time

[@DrDionPresents]

The Bridge Is Over is one of the greatest party/dis records in history.. caused straight mayhem in the club, parks and jams everywhere in NY back in late 80s .. wish u were there.. incredible!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@s.4275]

yeah, it killed hip hop. his 9mm went bang and the start of gangster rap.

[@justintime8922]

The mother of hip hop.

[@Keatay1]

She dropped a jewel with that Roxanne Shante factor COME ON JESUS 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@Maxthafirst]

I think I was 11 or 12 living in Queens when I heard The Bridge is over. That shit hurt me back then. Lol.

[@Yushwa]

This was truly an interesting and productive interview from one of the greats. I was so surprised Vlad didn't bring up Nas

[@LyricalThreat]

I've watched the 4 parts of this interview thus far & I find myself asking: *Why is this waaaaaaaaay better than the movie?*

[@hermosareina1212]

Lyrical Threat I said the same thing.

[@LyricalThreat]

Yeah, I wish they would've focused on the story, the MUSIC & not the personal struggle...

[@hermosareina1212]

Lyrical Threat the movie should of been longer too.

[@kevenbenbow9337]

Lyrical Threat actually (& I'm not a fan of sequels) but there needs to be a Roxanne Roxanne movie part 2! There's so much to tell during and after her first album dropped .

[@LyricalThreat]

Like I said in my review of the movie on this channel I think they are saving stuff for another movie @Honey-Brown Wells

[@luisleonchicago]

This is the true definition of a strong woman! Respect

[@diamondwest35]

Hold up hold up! People hated Shante? I bought all of her joints back in the day! I thought she was a dope mc. I used to love her voice. The beat on 'Have a nice day' was crazy! 'Go on girl' and 'Live on stage' were the shit! My favorite joint off of her album was 'Feelin Kinda Horny' the first hip hop track to sample 'Between the sheets'. So if people were hatin on Shante they were hatin on hop hop for real! Not to mention her battle raps! If you hated Shante back in the day, stick yourself!

[@rahfresh1]

I love this message 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@toyaadams8167]

i ain't gonna lie, i use to wear the fake ponytail, the door knockers and tried to be roxanne shante sooooo mf'n bad when i was young....this was the FIRST REAL RAP FEMALE that opened the door for ERRBODY ELSE...why wasn't she honored at the BET female hip hop honors???...she opened the door for chicks like lil kim and foxy brown...i remember when kim and foxy came out and she made a semi-diss record to them...i wish i could find it, but i forgot the name...if anybody knows it please let me know...

[@FelFree]

I love the maturity the realness the truth the love .... Real HipHop .... God Bless Roxanne Shantè and Thank You !

[@SPtheGREAT]

"They PAY NOT TO LIKE YOU..." LIFE LESSON!!!

[@BigDee0903]

Damn good interview Vlad!!!

[@Wilizm]

People saying he got punked by teen girl, but she was 17 & he was 21. The age gap was not that wide.

[@mikejackson8010]

Wilizm He did not get Punk where are you getting this bogus info from. He did the punking.

[@Wilizm]

Mike Jackson I didn't say he got punked. People in the comment section are saying it.

[@himreddy1553]

People sayin he got punked is Off Like a MaF***.

[@sirjer73]

KRS is like 6'4" and at time probably bout 225 plus lbs. He was caught off guard and just let her vent.

[@C.Ellis_BMI]

A rapper I still look up to today!
