Roxanne Shante has a huge part in hip hop history.

That song was written in one session and recorded in one take! It's a responce to a song called Roxanne Roxanne which initially was not directed at Shante.

But I think she swayed away from hip hop to continue her education which is a shame.

One of the better and most influential female MCs and as Boom Bap said it is unfortunate she did not continue (like most great female MCs for one reason or the other)
