In the early 1980s, the most feared battle MC in Queens, New York, was a fierce teenage girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders. At the age of 14, Lolita "Roxanne Shanté" Gooden was well on her way to becoming a hip-hop legend as she hustled to provide for her family while defending herself from the dangers of the streets of the Queensbridge Projects in NYC.
"A biographical movie of the rapper Roxanne Shanté, who was hugely successful at just 17 years old in the 1980s. The film brings a hard story, with high doses of reality and drama, showing the underworld of hip-hop in Queens, New York. A good original production from Netflix that, in addition to bringing a woman as the protagonist, brings a nostalgic air for fans of the old guard and memorable performances. It's a pity that the script, in some moments, has its loopholes."
