Wee Papa Girl Rappers 1988 UK

Roxanne Shanté. 1984. vs. "The Real Roxanne"

The word is young Roxanne took this in 1 take as a freestyle - - -

Here's the final version of Roxanne's Revenge

the music changed reportedly because of being sued by UTFO:

this was a response song to UTFO's

and then UTFO puts out this with a girl calling herself .."The Real Roxanne"
hmmmm.

ICEY Jaye - Icey J is on WAX. 1988 - 1990.

This is the album I have - Icey Jaye,
but on many searches she comes up Icey J.

Icey J Is On WAX!

It Takes A Real Man.
"your rob base and you tried to get down....."

It's Just A Girl Thing

( dance moves yeah!)-

Ice Cream Tee will "work your butt til the end" Let's Work! songs from 1986-89

I have a bunch of albums with Ice Cream Tee rapping - some of the information i found was she's from Philly, she worked with DJ Jazzy Jeff & the fresh Prince in NYC.
This video is amazing!

Can't Hold Back

It's An Ice Cream Tee Thing

Blondie 1981 ...rapping with the hippest of NYC.

It's 1981. Rapture captures the hippest snapshot you can get, a debbie harry song, a rap about eating cars, fab five freddy, she's chatting it up at the dj tables with Jean-Michel Basquiat, i mean. it's like a time capsule video.
here's the song, i can't embed the video - but it's on youtube:

McLyte. "And If you Understood Would You......"

I had to put this remix on first, even tho it was made in '96. It is so beautiful.
McLyte - the Milk Dee remix. Oh this is sooooooooo good.

So McLyte was just killing it on the mic, she ahd many hits of the eighties, and the best was her colab with Sinead O'conner's pop hit.
but 1988 she gave us:


in 1989 - - - Cha Cha Cha......."I do get better"

saving the best for last:

Sha Rock. She's the JOINT. 1981. notably one of the 1st!

Sha Rock is really amazing, really one of the first and best. I tried to find video of them back in the day, but couldnt. found a picture tho. I hope you enjoy - I love Funky Four plus one more!

Cute-E-Nuff ....who are you, where are you

So one of the songs I transferred before i left was Cute-E-Nuff "Boys aint nothin but a bother" 1989

When i go to do a little web research, i can't find a thing about Cute-e-nuff. who was she? was it just a studio produced thing? The label is Cocorde music group. So maybe someone from the Bay Area? If you have any info, pics, video please direct me to it!

This is all i have, it has some pretty funny samples.
Cute-e-nuff - boys aint nothin but a bother by BeatsLikeABoxer

Do you think it was an answer song to the Fresh Prince?
Girls aint nothin but trouble? 1988

update. as i researched, ice cream tee did a response track called: Guys Aint Nothing But Troube.

i love that people on youtube are dedicating the video to tiger woods.

UK Cookie Crew. 1980's

From South London the Cookie Crew came up -

London 80's Cookie Crew. !!!
here's a real house party:

and my favorite sample . oh .oh .oh

Females - - -- - _--

and a huge hit for them -

Roxanne Battles. she takes it.

Roxanne Roxanne. she set things off in the eighties. there will be many more posts about her & songs about her. but, it's great to see some live shots, this excerpt is from a dutch documentary from what i read through the comments. also you should check out realhiphop3000 on youtube. this video channel is amazing. five *****.

i love this battle:

This battle is amazing, people always act like hiphop was weak and clean and dorky in the 80's, but listen to this - 1986.

here is Biz Markie and Roxanne Shanté - live
