I knew that man was gonna take that woman money...i was like why she showed him all that money? Why why why...he gonna take her money and be gone. He not gonna be stuck with a woman and four kids that aint his. Sad Oh and her mom was old enough to know better...someone left her with all them kids. I mean why couldnt she just take the money and go buy a house herself? Why did she need him? - @Wednesday, June 6, 2018 1:49 PM

1:11-1:14 They put that soundbite in to cater to the gender war programming. Black women vs. Black men. Be vigilant - @Monday, May 28, 2018 5:20 AM

Growing up in this era of music and loving it and listening it everyday, this movie was a treat. It was very interesting learning her story. Two scenes in this film really stood out for me and that is when she has a falling out with her DJ then Biz Markie convinced her to still do the show where he beat boxed the music and as soon as it started, was glorious to hear. The other was a small scene but I liked how it was done. It shows an upside down facial image of when she was having sex with Cross but shortly after it switches to the exact same upside down shot but of her giving birth. I thought that was a good segway. If you're a fan of Roxanne Shante, her music and the music of this era, you will enjoy this film. - @Wednesday, May 23, 2018 6:33 PM

Great film, I remember her from back in the mid 80s and all the spin off records that were released. She was pretty much known Worldwide even back in those days before in Internet. Bearing in mind I'm from a small town in England and was listening to here in 84/85. - @Tuesday, April 24, 2018 9:47 AM

The film should of had more about her music, battles and the hip hop scene in general and less drama, although I did enjoy it regardless. - @Thursday, April 5, 2018 7:04 AM
