This woman is spiritually grounded. Her lack of anger and humble outlook is why these blessing keep happening.

Dope film. Everyone was great but someone give Nia Long some recognition for her performance. She killed it!!!!

This young lady only had only 8 days to prepare for the role of Roxanne Shante' and owned it 100%.

Nia long played the hell out of that role, i didn't know she could act like that.

She’s very posed, confident and lacks anger ... that’s real spirituality manifested

THE CHAMP IS HERE!!! I love the movie. It was amazing. I also loved this interview and seeing her.

The fact that she could easily explain why they would always want to ensure there was no unity with female rappers, without giving some cliche answer.. makes it clear she's like OG. I actually learned something new.

I met Roxanne Shante and MC Shan at a concert at the Hyatt in Oakland Ca 1984, I was 9 years old. She was so dope, she made THE REAL ROXANNE from UTFO cry on stage it was crazy. She has an Iconic voice and dope rap style, she paved the way for female rappers. She still looks good, I am happy she is finally getting recognized with a movie that will last till the test of time.

Nia Long and Chante did Great jobs in this Film. Go watch!

Legend in the building and the movie was so dope to me.

They look like mother & daughter!😍

I wish they would've asked her about NAS

Netflix is killing the game when it comes to original movies. 'Roxanne, Roxanne' truly highlighted various underlining messages that need to be discussed from teenagers taking on adult responsibilities to older men preying on young girls. Phenomenal film and kudos to Netflix and Roxanne for this amazing film!

I saw Roxanne Roxanne yesterday, I was pissed when it was over! I definitely wanted to know more about her growing as a young adult with a child, when she started school [college], why she decided to get her degree. I'm so intrigued by her story!

yall that ponytail is LAID love black ppl

The fact that even the lead actress is named Chante just goes to show that this was in the cards

I loveeee her humility and how she’s embracing other women in the game!

It’s crazy that she ran into Shante for this role and they look like mother and daughter.

She is so profoundly secure in her own craft and overwhelmingly knowledgeable about her impact, footprint on hip hop culture. So much respect for Roxanne Shante! The best who's ever done it! #certified #genuine

The Movie was perfectly made and the girl playing Roxanne did a good job. Now #Netflix we need a #Nas Biopic

I smiled through this whole interview. I'm glad the OG is able to share her story!!

Just finished watching the movie. The lead portraying her had her mannerisms and characteristics down to a T. Especially with Boo-Boo from _The Get Down_ as young Nas. That was just pivotal. Shante _definitely_ brought the female hip-hop scene all the way up in her time! Salute!!

It was amazing!!! But I hated the way it ended...like I want more!!!! So good.

Chanté Adams hair looks soooo good😍😍

Props to Shante'. She's a very intelligent sister. I'm so glad she has a level head and came on and dropped so many jewels about ego and maturity. I'm glad she put the movie out because I was getting mishandled by my mother and men the exact same way. The movie was theraputic for me. Much love and success to you Sis.

I just got done watching her movie on Netflix. She did a great job with it! It really tells a story. I love it!

I remember her as a tiny little girl. I always thought she was so strong, so brave. Still the same to this day

Roxanne Shante is a real Queen. She speaks so eloquently, and is very wise. She's a great leader. She reminds me a lot of Sister Souljah,

LOVED THE NETFLIX SPECIAL! I WISH THEY COULD'VE DONE THE TUPAC MOVIE LIKE THAT... SHANTE' IS DEFINITELY A LIVING LEGEND

Roxanne Shante movie was the bomb it's a must watch movie. She's definitely a hip hop legend and I'm glad she receiving her flowers while she still living

girl that played Roxanne fine as hell

This woman speaks so eloquently and is unashamed of her story. Such an inspiration to all women from any walk of life.

Roxanne is DOPE. So humble and just all around good people yo. I'm mad she doesn't get enough recognition

This actress did a great job. Totally believed she was the character. Nia Long also did a great job too.

Nia long did an awesome job 👏🏿

Very confident artist/woman - so glad she produced this movie so the world could hear and see her story!!!!

Just finished watching the movie on Netflix. It was a great movie! very well written, and true to the era. Nia long killed her role, and so did Chante Adams.

I still can't believe they made a movie about her. That shit hit me like a ton of bricks. I didn't expect it. Can't wait to watch it when i get home. I love Roxanne Shante. I remember her squeeky voice blasting outta cars in Brooklyn. As a music producer now, Watcging that movie with the kids is very important to me tonight. I even heard a young Nas is in it. My oldest son who worships Nas is gon flip. They don't even know its out. I'm not even gonna tell em anything. I'ma make em just watch it. They don't know who Roxanne Shante is, But they gon find out tonight.

For her first movie (I think), Chanté Adams did a great job 👍🏾

Great inspiration for hip hop I love Roxanne Shante Legendary Prestige Diva QUEEN

Nia Long needs an oscar for her role.

That movie was Amazing!!! She went through so much OMG they should have made it go to Movie theatre

Listening to her breakdown the progression of female hip hop artist, and the need to properly finesse a battle rap response is so beautifully articulated!

I LOVE her spirit. So light and just joyous!

This movie came out of nowhere and did the most for me. I was not talking to my son for almost a month before this day. I had lunch with a friend and he told me that life was too short to be petty with my family. All I wanted was a date with my son and through a meeting with my friend who encouraged me to rectify my relationships that were broken to keep them sustained, I was able to practice forgiveness, patience and love. My birthday is next week and all I care about is spending time with my son.

I wish the movie was longer, but after watching and learning some of her story and meeting her in person I definitely have a deeper respect for this Queen 👑 , the young lady also did a great job playing her , and Nia Long can do no wrong 😍😍😍😘

I watch a interview where Roxanne said her mother was very pleased with Nia long playing her

Roxanne Shante is a beautiful spirit, and I love her wisdom and positivity. The movie was wonderful.

As a 14 year old white male, growing up in England at the time of the Roxanne phenomenon, I am so pleased to see that she finally made it.

She’s so smart and intelligent. I get chills hearing her speak. So powerful

i love how down to earth she is soooo humble we need more women like this beautiful inside and out ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

loved the movie just hated how it ended😔😔 wish it was longer.

I'm so glad her story is being told by her! A legend and a boss back in a time when it was not even thought of for women. Better yet little black girls from the projects. Such an inspiration!

Beautiful interview--so humble and much wisdom. And, indeed, the movie is beautifully told--all should celebrate Roxanne Shante by viewing the movie. Thanks for the interview.

Yo, please don't get me wrong. I love the movie but I'm one of the ones who thinks the movie should've been longer. The touring, The Krs-One beef, more Cold Chillin, and I feel like more of that added would have made this movie even more dope. Been a fan when I first heard her music (and other albums) going through my brother's records and tapes in like 89-1990 when I was 7 years old. After those moments I been a fan of Hip Hop ever since lol. This interview is dope.

I'd love to see her with a hair care line because her hair has always been healthy...🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Back when MCs actually had to prove themselves. Miss that era

I’m SO HAPPY AND EXCITED for Roxanne Chanté. She deserves ALL the accolades and success.

She dropping the facts and wow you can tell she been through it and it is amazing the peace she has and damn sure deserves

It’s rare that I get moved by movies but man I shed some tears for the stuff she went thru. I got a daughter and I wouldn’t want her to go thru that. But I’m very proud of Roxane shaunte for still making it thru all them storms. Great movie.

She gave the best answer I’ve ever heard anyone give to the what do you think about female beef question and there only being one at a time.

Man y'all betta respect these legends gotdammit!

This movie was dope AF! Very very VERY powerful!!! I literally balled my eyes out and not the regular cry, it was a huffing puffing and short of breathe cuz ur crying so hard cry. That’s how touching it is! Her story is very sad & powerful!!! Glad to see she over came it all

Dope interview. I have even more respect and admiration for her now. The movie was also amazing. Chante Adams is such a sweetheart and I hope to see her a lot more.

Love her interview and the way she thinks about waiting for her time to be blessed!!! Very intelligent and humble!! A true Legend...

I liked the movie she needs a part two

Thanks Roxanne for speaking at my event! Great meeting you...ill never forget!!! Thanks Queen

What a wise, patient, humble and well enveloped woman. I love her!

Watching this interview for me is like my grandmother made my favorite meal and I’m sitting there enjoying every morsel! The Era of Roxanne was the Best and I just am so proud of her accomplishments!

This needs to be there most viewed video not that other bs she spoke nothing but facts much respect and the movie was fire

Her story is amazing. I hope God stay blessing y’all❤️

I LOVE HER!!! So well spoken, still young, level headed, just a all around fly chick

The movie was so dope. I grew up listening to Roxanne Latifah and Lyte. Like I be 2 hype when I hear these ladies and what they talking about in their lyrics, it's raw. They had something to fight for. Today's music is hard to understand when you don't hear the struggle. 2018 and I still and will always play old school. Big fan Shani!!

Now this is the interview worth watching!

She is preaching!!!! 👏👏👏 this really blessed me 💖

she is so smart...articulate like her

I fell in love with Hip Hop when I heard Roxanne Roxanne and memorized every single word!!! #1984

This the first guest Envy actually knew something about.

Where is your friend that was screaming here's the champ

The movie Roxanne Roxanne was nice.. I wouldn't mind a part. 2

i love this movie it was so good, but i wanted to see more of her life it should have been a mini series

damn she sound super humble alot of artist need to learn from her...

Chante played the heck out of this role.... Put that young lady in more movies!!!

Just watched it. Great film. Love Roxanne. I like the last scene at the end with Nas showing off his skills.

Another great interview after Erica Alexander's. I was just talking about Roxanne Shante. 👍🏾

Yesterday, Erica Alexander and today Roxanne Shante? Two days in a row The Breakfast Club has had two phenomenal female interviews! I can't wait to see this movie!!!

Shante’s attitude toward receiving her blessings was waaaay different than Monique. Got a whole biopic and didn’t throw anyone else under the bus. Peace and love Shante, I loved the movie.

yes! I could listen to this women all day. would love to hear even more of her journey. I remember being a child of the 80's when she came on the scene....loved everything about the biopic except that it was not longer.

Love how positive she is! I love Roxanne Shante' :)

Omg....I love her. She dropped knowledge that I will be supplying to my life.

She speaks so eloquently. Good interview.

Chante Adams bad 😍😍

Just watched the movie!!!! It was EVERYTHING.. it shows you Nas’ Beginnings (Biz Markie, Marley Marl) you get to see the other Roxanne and all.. The whole Queens culture, how everything begins.. But most importantly you get to see Roxanne Shante killing all the battles and her over story.. So good and powerful 😩😩😩🖤

Roxanne Shante! She gave good talk about her life/career/contributions to female hip hop and is humble. She and I need to talk! Lol

Ayyyee!!! I’m hype I’m bout to watch the movie right now!

I had to take a breather after watching the movie. Such power! Also, Roxanne answered all these questions with such intellect. You can feel her genuine nature exuding through. Loved it!

This Fabulous interview brought me back to the days when you could only hear Hip Hop on one station on Friday night in a three hour window. Back then you had your new TDK or used Memorex cassettes ready. Fun days back in Jersey when everything was everything.

I love her mentality about this. She has the right attitude and this show on Netflix will be successful.

The movie was good, but to short. Should have been a mini series

I wish they would've talked about her 1992 song "Big Mama" where she went allll the way in on Latifah, Yoyo, Lyte , and the rest of the girls around that time. but yes, I do understand its all about being positive now.
