Ladies, please!

Roxanne Shante vs. Sparky Dee - Round 1
(From Round 1 EP thingy; 1985)



Mid 80s Tuff drum-machine excellence! Spyder-D lit the fuse on Roxanne Shante & Sparky Dee's tampons and then let them rip the living piss outta each other back-and-forth on this little known 80s track. And it really should be more known because it's one of the most vicious dis songs of the 80s. No matter the medium, there's little more entertaining than a cat fight.

Did a 1985 deep dive earlier this year and listened to this EP for the first time. Was amazed I never ever heard anybody mention this song / reference this project before.

I concur.

Fat shaming on wax. One of the lost elementz, imo.

Beggars belief that there's never been a U.S Rap song called Who Ate All The Pies?

Yeah, sucks. Ego Trip Rap lists is my favourite book of all time.
