Origins
JJ Fad was originally a six-member group out of Los Angeles in 1985. Its members were Juana Burns, Dania Burks, Michelle Franklin, Anna Cash, Fatima Shaheed, and Juanita Lee. JJ Fad actually was formed from the first names of the members. The six-member group released one song, 1987's "Another Hoe," which took jabs at Roxanne Shante.
Due to management and financial issues, Cash, Shaheed, and Lee left the group, leaving JJ Fad as a trio with DJ Train as their MC.

Famous quotes containing the word origins:
“Lucretius
Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato
smiling carves dreams, bright cells
Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
“The origins of clothing are not practical. They are mystical and erotic. The primitive man in the wolf-pelt was not keeping dry; he was saying: “Look what I killed. Aren’t I the best?””
—Katharine Hamnett (b. 1948)
“Compare the history of the novel to that of rock ‘n’ roll. Both started out a minority taste, became a mass taste, and then splintered into several subgenres. Both have been the typical cultural expressions of classes and epochs. Both started out aggressively fighting for their share of attention, novels attacking the drama, the tract, and the poem, rock attacking jazz and pop and rolling over classical music.”
—W. T. Lhamon, U.S. educator, critic. “Material Differences,” Deliberate Speed: The Origins of a Cultural Style in the American 1950s, Smithsonian (1990)
