  shae-shae's U.T.F.O. Page
U.T.F.O.'s members include Kangol, EMD (The Educated Rapper), Doctor Ice and one of the nicest D.J.'s Hip-Hop has ever seen, Mix Master Ice.
The hype behind U.T.F.O. was the fact the group had all four elements of Hip-Hop (graffiti, rapping, break dancing and Dee Jaying).
After winning a break-dancing contest, U.T.F.O. hooked up with Whodini, and was added just in time to be a part of what was probably the hottest hip hop concert bill ever.

 TrouserPress.com :: UTFO
Credit for this fad goes to Brooklyn's UTFO (Untouchable Force Organization), the trio who started it all with "Roxanne, Roxanne," a playful poke at a good-looking girl with the temerity to resist their suave attentions.
Before things could get any weirder, they released a 12-inch of the sharp and fast "Beats and Rhymes," oddly, a better rap than its follow-up, "Roxanne, Roxanne" (both cuts were included on the band's first album, along with "The Real Roxanne" and "Calling Her a Crab," subtitled "Roxanne Part 2").
Dabbling in gangster rap and performing a cross-cultural mating ritual with Anthrax (on the anti-drug title track), the crew demonstrates a desire to try new things, but otherwise this is just a trip to the old neighborhood.

 UTFO by UTFO (lyrics & reviews)
UTFO hit high schoolers and young adults full force with "Roxanne Roxanne" in 1984, with it's simple beats and amusing story.
If you were in junior high, high school or a freshman or sophomore in college in 1984 who was into Black music, you'll remember this.
Sadly, UTFO and rap music itself would take the low road lyrically as time went on.

 Roxanne Shanté :: The Best of Cold Chillin' - Roxanne Shanté :: LandSpeed Records
When Brooklyn's UTFO released their hit "Roxanne, Roxanne" in 1984, a song about three men unsuccessfully competing for "stuck-up Roxanne", nobody would have imagined they would get dozens (someone tallied even over 100) of answer records.
UTFO threatened to take legal action against the use of their instrumental, and so "Roxanne's Revenge" was re-recorded.
UTFO were quick to introduce The Real Roxanne, while others tracked down her family: "The Parents of Roxanne" (by Gigolo Tony & Lacey Lace), "Roxanne's Man" (by The Invasions), "Roxy (Roxanne's Sister)" (by DW and the Party Crew).

Long after they'd peaked with "Roxanne Roxanne," UTFO attempted to consolidate their position as progenitors of the East Coast's exploding rap scene with Doin' It!.
Everyone including Roxanne (The Real one and all stand-ins, substitutes and replacements) had forgotten by the time of album number four that UTFO had once had an underground smash with "Roxanne, Roxanne." Instead, audiences had tuned out the group's novelty/comic fare, microphone challenges, sexual posturing and anything else they tried.
The Brooklyn production/performance combo U.T.F.O. shot to fame in the mid-'80s with their story about "Roxanne, Roxanne." It generated a flood of answer songs, started the careers of both Roxanne Shante and the Real Roxanne, and for a moment put U.T.F.O. in the thick of hip-hop and urban contemporary music.
