Roxanne's Revenge

"Roxanne's Revenge" is the debut single by American hip-hop emcee Roxanne Shante. It was produced by a then-unknown Marley Marl and released in 1984 on the independent label Pop Art Records. In the song, a 14-year-old Roxanne Shanté, whose real name is Lolita Shanté Gooden, responds to UTFO's hit song "Roxanne, Roxanne". In addition to her feud with UTFO, this also caused between 30 and more than 100 answer songs from different hip hop artists to be produced at that time, in what would be called the Roxanne Wars.

Background
Roxanne's revenge is regarded as an inspiration for emcee Nicki Minaj’s song “Roman's Revenge.” “Roxanne's Revenge” was the first female hip-hop diss track. ==Single track listing==
