Early life and career[edit]
Shante was born Lolita Shanté Gooden in Queens, New York in 1969. She lived with her mother and sisters in Queens, New York. She started rapping at the age of nine and changed her name from Lolita to Roxanne at fourteen.[5][6] In 1984, the young rapper ran into Tyrone Williams, DJ Mr. Magic, and record producer Marley Marl outside the Queensbridge housing project. The three of them were discussing U.T.F.O. since the rap trio had failed to make an appearance at a concert.[3] U.T.F.O. had recently released a single called 'Hanging Out,' which did not gain much critical acclaim; however, the B-side 'Roxanne, Roxanne', about a woman who would not respond to their advances, became a hit.[7] Shante, who was a member of the Juice Crew, was contracted to write a track in rebuttal to U.T.F.O.'s rap, posing as the Roxanne in the U.T.F.O. song. Marley Marl produced the song 'Roxanne's Revenge' using the original beats from an instrumental version of 'Roxanne, Roxanne'. (At that time her Queens-based crew was in a battle with KRS-One's Bronx-based crew, because both of the crews claimed that their district was the true home of hip hop.[5]) The track became an instant hit and made Shante, only 14 years old at the time, one of the first female MCs to become very popular. Following this, the 'Roxanne Wars' started, and Shante continued to rap and started touring.
In 1985, Shante released a record together with Sparky D, who had dissed her before in her track 'Sparky's Turn, Roxanne You're Through' for disrespecting U.T.F.O. and being too young to be in rap battles.[8] The record called 'Round One, Roxanne Shanté vs Sparky Dee' was released by Spin Records and included six tracks: the two original battle tracks ('Roxanne's Revenge' and 'Sparky's Turn') as well as 'Roxanne's Profile' by Shante, 'Sparky's Profile' by Sparky D and a battle track, in which the two rappers freestyle and dis each other, in a censored and an uncensored version.[9] Other hits included 'Have a Nice Day” and “Go on Girl'.[10] The ongoing battle with KRS-One hit its height when KRS-One claimed in his 1986 track 'The Bridge Is Over' that Shante was nothing more than a sexual appendage to male rappers.[11] Shante released Bad Sister in 1989,[12]The Bitch Is Back in 1992,[13] and a greatest hits anthology in 1995.[14]

Hiatus[edit]
By the age of 25, Shante was largely retired from the recording industry. She continued to make occasional guest appearances and live performances, as well as mentor young female hip-hop artists. She did the latter by making a cameo appearance on VH1's hip hop reality show Ms. Rap Supreme and gave rap-battle strategies to the finalists of that show. She also took part in a series of Sprite commercials during the late 1990s.She returned to performing, and in 2008, her song 'Roxanne's Revenge' was ranked number 42 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop;[15] she re-recorded the song the following year. In an interview with EmEz in 2015, she stated that she had just been proposed to and that she had been married before.[16] In the same interview she said that KRS-One was one of her favorite rappers.
Biographical claims[edit]
It was reported by Blender in 2008[17] and more extensively in a New York Daily News account in 2009,[18] that Shante earned a bachelor's degree from Marymount Manhattan College and a master's and Ph.D in psychology from Cornell University, and that a quirk in her recording contract obligated Warner Music to fund her college education. These were not new claims by Shante; she spoke on the subject at length on the Beef II documentary, which was released in 2004.[19] However, an investigation by lawyer and journalist Ben Sheffner for Slate magazine found no evidence of Shante's claims. She was never signed to a Warner Music label, but was under contract to the independent label Cold Chillin' Records, which was in turn distributed by Reprise/Warner Bros. Records from 1987 to 1992. Academic records indicate that she attended only three months at Marymount Manhattan College. Shante never earned any degree and she is unlicensed by New York State officials to practice psychology or similar disciplines.[20] The Daily News subsequently ran a five-paragraph correction.[18][21] Shante apologized in November 2009.[22]

It received critical acclaim and the lead actress Chanté Adams won best breakout performance for her portrayal of Shante. The film was co-produced by Forest Whitaker and Pharrell Williams, and written and directed by Michael Larnell.[23][24][25] It was bought by the film studio Neon for general release later in 2017.[26]

In 1984, Lolita Shante Gooden, a 14-year-old from Queens, was on her way to do laundry when she became a hip-hop star.
A producer stopped her and asked if she would rap over some beats from “Roxanne Roxanne,” a hit by UTFO about a girl who wouldn’t respond to a guy’s advances. She freestyled some rhymes from the perspective of the girl in the song, punching back with force and style. Her song, “Roxanne’s Revenge,” became a hit, and Lolita transformed into Roxanne Shante, one of the first female hip-hop stars.
This origin story may be accurate, but make no mistake: It’s also made for Hollywood. And yet what distinguishes “Roxanne Roxanne,” a sensitively observed new movie with a dynamite performance by Chanté Adams, is that it marries a traditional hip-hop biopic, a form long dominated by male rappers, with a more idiosyncratic and deeply felt slice of life.
This movie’s intimate indie vibe is a nice match for the old-school subject, rap stardom in the days before hip-hop culture went global. The director, Michael Larnell, shows you the warts and all, but he nimbly steers clear of another cautionary tale about the evils of show business. Nor is this a superhero story with microphones and Adidas replacing utility belts and capes. (The 1980s period design here is every bit as lovingly recreated as it is on “Stranger Things.”)
The music is a backdrop for a gripping, often brutal story of the struggles of a girl growing up poor in Queens. Ms. Adams delivers a compassionate performance as a girl whose swagger and practicality hides a melancholy edge. Stardom changes her life, but less than you’d think. Early scenes show Lolita resorting to petty crime to support her family and butting heads with her strict mother (Nia Long), a compelling character who could use more screen time.
And then there’s a small galaxy of men that disappoint or abuse both mother and daughter. As her older love interest, Mahershala Ali gives a silky performance with ominous undertones that never turns into caricature. The scenes between him and Ms. Adams are charged, filmed with a patient if herky-jerky pacing. Some shots linger longer than necessary. At other times, Mr. Larnell cuts quickly, shifting from a shot of sex to pregnancy in a blink.
You get a sense of the film’s dramatic priorities from the first scene. Roxanne paces the streets preparing for a rap battle as a crowd of friends trail her. From the look on her face, you can tell she’s formidable, and when she faces off against a guy who scoffs at her, you wait for the virtuoso performance. But then the film cuts away.
Don’t worry: There will be rap battles and concert scenes and they do not disappoint. But they are the bass line beat. The drama of ordinary life is what makes this story stick in your head.
