Roxanne Shanté is a trailblazer in hip-hop. Her 1984 hit, "Roxanne's Revenge" became one of the first, and biggest diss tracks of all time. Shanté, who paved the way for both men and women rappers alike, will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s #Grammys. She met with Gayle to reflect on her journey from growing up in NYC's Queensbridge housing projects and teaching herself to rap at 8 years old, to finally getting her due: “I can't stop smiling." | CBS Mornings
