Roxanne’s a Man (The Untold Story—Final Chapter)

Roxanne’s a Man (The Untold Story—Final Chapter)

Ralph Rolle

One of the many tracks in the Roxanne Wars. This is in response to not only the original track, but several of the other responses as well. Its approach is unusual: instead of picking one side or the other, it attacks both sides. It also adds to the surrounding mythos of the story by adding a (likely noncanonical) origin to it all.

This song reflects the homophobia and transphobia that was so common in the hip-hop community in the 80s (and is still present today in varying degrees).

Calling this song the “final chapter” was… not very prophetic.
