Roxanne Roxanne (2017)
Nel 1984, Lolita Shante Gooden era solo una tra i tanti ragazzini quattordicenni che vivevano nei sobborghi di New York. In quegli anni scrisse il testo della canzone conosciuta come "La vendetta di Roxanne", una risposta rap al popolare singolo "Roxanne, Roxanne". Con questa canzone, Lolita ha suscitato una delle prime e più significative rivoluzioni nella storia dell'hip-hop, che le garantì il dominio delle battaglie MC tanto da farla diventare famosa a livello mondiale. Con la fama salda nelle sue mani, Roxanne Shante rimaneva pur sempre un'adolescente con il peso del mondo sulle spalle, costretta a spacciare per sostenere la sua famiglia e difendersi dai pericoli della vita.
