My guess is @ahmedaiman9999 didn't realize this was a true story or didn't realize how many of the 'minor characters' were future hip hip legends (Nas was her younger neighbor, what?). Hell I even remember Sparky D & how many otherMy guess is @ahmedaiman9999 didn't realize this was a true story or didn't realize how many of the 'minor characters' were future hip hip legends (Nas was her younger neighbor, what?). Hell I even remember Sparky D & how many other Roxanne-answer-record MC's were spawned back then (paging: The Real Roxanne).
My eyes lit up seeing someone made a Roxanne Shante story....I'm happy for any insight into this woman's life, perfect film or not....although yes plenty of great actors/acting here (& after the immediate disappointment of Netflix' "The Get Down" looking more like a Broadway show, this was a MUCH more authentic feeling production).

I can't help but wish there was more info about the rise of the "Roxanne's Revenge" record (like any static between her & UTFO etc.) but kudos to Netflix for putting this out!
