Roxanne Wars

The Roxanne Wars were a series of hip-hop rivalries during the mid-1980s, yielding rap music's first diss record and perhaps the most answer records in history. It is one of hip-hop's earliest feuds and perhaps the first "rap beef". The dispute arose over a failed appearance at a radio promotional show and primarily involved Roxanne Shante (Lolita Shante Gooden) and the Real Roxanne (Adelaida Martinez).
