PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
"Shabooya Roll Call" is an African American originated "introductory" call and respond bragging and/or taunting chant with a distinctive structure and rhythm. As the term "introductory" implies, these chants revolve around a person saying their name and (supposedly) sharing something about themselves. Consequently, there are no fixed or standard words for these chants.
The word "shabooya" probably originated as a form of the word "Shaboom". That word (also given as Sh-boom" is a Doo Wop sound that connotes a sound or beat and has no ascribed meaning.
"Roll call" is verb that means "the act or an instance of calling off a list of names (as for checking attendance)". "Roll call" is also a noun that refers to the list of names that are called off (as for checking attendance). https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/roll%20call
As a result of the attention given to the "Shabooya Roll Call" chant in the 2006 American movie Bring It On: All Or Nothing, a growing number of people online and offline started creating their own versions of these chants. Some of those people (I think mostly White Americans) started calling these chants "Shabooyas" ("Shabooyas" can be either singular or plural). However, I don't think that noun is widely used for these chants, and I personally don't use the term "Shabooyas" to refer to these chants.

Special note should be given to the 1992 Prince song "My Name Is Prince". That song fits the spirit of bragging "Shabooya Roll Call" chants i.e. introducing yourself and making a rhyme that says something positive about yourself. Some verses in that song also fit the signature Shabooya Roll Call rhythm pattern. However, Prince's 1992 song doesn't include the word "Shabooya" or the words "roll call".

[Editor's note: I didn't include the video of this episode because I consider some of that episode to be problematic for a family friendly blog that focuses on Black culture.

Click https://www.reddit.com/r/IASIP/comments/46l4zp/earliest_use_of_shabooyah_rollcall/. According to commenters in that discussion, Frank used the word "shabooya" in that television series' episode to refer to Black women. One commenter speculated that he got that word from Spike Lee's "Get On The Bus" movie.
