Roxanne Shante
Do you know the difference between Roxanne Shante and The Real Roxanne? They're the same person.
I am still a big fan of Shante even though she is no longer in the business. I have reviewed this and I can say honestly say it is not worth 5 stars. The problem with this is not album content, it is Shante's career. The people behind all of this were not with her and that is why most of the people who were also on the label are not around or floundering (see Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Kool G. Rap, Craig G, Master Ace, T.J. Swann, Cold Chillin Records, Livin' Large Records). They had talent, but no guidance, no business mind and that is why none of them are in the game anymore and I blame that on the heads of the aofrementioned record labels. I love Shante, but the people guiding her career need to be drawn and quartered. I will give it 4 stars.

Transposition
The material on Divisibility on our frequently asked questions page,
http://mathforum.org/dr.math/faq/
may well answer your question. It talks about how you can tell whether
a number is divisible by 9.
The idea is that if you have digits a,b in some number, with place
value the "a" is "worth" a * 10^n and b is worth b * 10^(n-1). So in
total the ab is worth a * 10^n + b * 10^(n-1), or 10^(n-1) * (10a + b)
When you switch them, the "ba" is then worth 10^(n-1) * (10b+a).
So the difference is 10^(n-1) * (9a - 9b), which is sure to be
divisible by 9.
The most common other type of error is a single-digit change, which
will only be divisible by 9 if you switch a 9 with a 0, so most of the
time, if your error is divisible by 9, it's due to a transposition.
