Her song Cha Cha Cha was the 1st song I recorded off the radio onto cassette tape so I could write out the lyrics. Those was the good ol’ days before the luxury of the internet 😂

Latifah for me but im not mad at Lyte being looked as one

This song has multiple samples to make this beat unique. Toto's "Georgy Porgy", The Supremes' "My World Is Empty Without You", Michael Jackson's "I Wanna Be Where You Are" and Jimmy Spicer's "The Bubble Bunch".The song also samples the drums from Eric B. & Rakim's "Eric B. Is President".

Check out Cha cha cha, lyte as a rock, cram to understand you, %10 dis, cappuccino, her verse on self destruction...lyte is simply dope.

Favorite MC Lyte tracks are Paper Thin and Lyte As A Rock. They're on her debut album. Check'em out if you want to try some of her older stuff

MC LYTE definitely deserves her flowerz. She rocked tha mic!! Right on for this reaction!🙌🏽

Lyte As A Rock, Cappuccino , Paper Thin...only female MC that I memorized her rhymes...shiiid she wrecked it on Self Destruction too.

Lyte wasn't one tobe tried on the mic. Check out "10% Dis." "Lyte As A Rock" was also hitting back in the day

Thanks you finally someone react to Mc Lyte "Poor Georgie". She has been totally underrated as a MC. React to hers "Ruffneck" ; "Paper Thin"; "Cold Rock a Party" and " Keep On Keepin On" to name a few.

Got so happy when I saw this title. I LOVED MC Lyte. So forgotten and not enough credit. Great song.

Def. Not enough. A true pioneer.

There's also a Diana Ross sample there too when she was with the Supremes called "My World Is Empty Without You" after the Jackson 5 sample where Michael sings, "Can it be I stayed away too long..."

Yes the sample is from The Jackson 5. "I Wanna Be Where You Are" 1972

Don't Forgot Georgy Porgy By Toto,My World Is Empty Without You By Diana Ross/The Supremes & Money by Jimmy Spicer 😁😁😁😁

MC Lyte is a Supreme lyrical MC. i don't Say Female MC cause i got MC Lyte up there With The Dudes. This is Actually one of Her Lighter Songs. She Goes Hard on most of her other Songs. Definitely React to "Cha,Cha,Cha" by MC Lyte it's STILL one of the Hardest Songs till this Day.

One of the greatest songs! Salute Lyte!

I was in 8th grade when this dropped in 92..I had it on a mix tape..Lyte was dope as sh it!! Definitely top tier female rappers of all time.

Me too.

Greatest female MC of all time...point blank period

Random fact about the video Lauren Hill is standing to MC Lytes right in the scene with the group of girls. You being from Detroit you might really like Light as a Rock House Remix.

Song is definitely a classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Glad you started listening to Lyte. Soo many dope tracks from her. Her first 2 albums are classic and her third one is dope. I'd recommend: Mc Lyte and Positive K - I'm Not Havin It Mc Lyte - Paper Thin Mc Lyte - Cha Cha Cha Mc Lyte - Stop, Look, Listen

You gotta check out Ruffneck and Cha Cha Cha by Lyte.

Greatest female lyricist ever!!!

Lyte as a Rock, Paper Thin, Cappuccino, Ruffneck all jams worth a listen.

There are three samples on this song. You hear Michael Jackson from a song called "I Wanna Be Whwre You are and you hear a sample of the Supremes, My World is Empty Without You". Georgie Porgy is the main sample, which is the name of a song from a group called Toto.

THE SAMPLE/ HOOK WAS THE JACKSON 5/MICHAEL JACKSON'S 'I WANNA BE WHERE YOU ARE' AND THE SUPREMES 'MY WORLD IS EMPTY WITHOUT YOU'..THE MAIN SAMPLE IS TOTO 'GEORGY PORGEY'..THE BEAT SWITCH SAMPLE IS A REPLAY OF JIMMY SPICER'S 'MONEY (DOLLAR BILL YALL)'..

Damn good joint. This is my favorite song by her! The first 5-6 songs on that CD were cool!

This is in my top 10 far as story telling! She is my favorite female MC!

Best storytelling from MC Lyte is "Cram To Understand You"...a story about someone on drugs

Georgie is from an old English Nursery rhyme: Georgie Porgie, pudding pie,: Kissed the girls and made them cry... Love MC Lyte!

The samples in this song allowed for a new generation to recognized the talents of Toto, a soft rock band. Georgy Porgy was their only R&B Hit that did very well on the charts. Additionally, there is a Michael Jackson sample with the Jackson 5. Samples are the crux hip hop. It took a keen ear to find the right sample the make a great hit. MC Lyte has always been favorite of mine. Glad to see another generation enjoying her music.

MC Lyte and Missy Elliott....my top 2 female hip hop artists. 😎💕

My favorite female mc ever.to me shes the best female mcs ever. Check her video cha cha cha.word up son

This is probably one of the very few songs that always stayed on my mind since i listened to it on rap city back in the 90s. The song started out dope then it got deep at the end. Its one of those songs that you cant help but to take serious. Glad you enjoyed Poor georgie by Mc lyte. She one of a kind. Keep it up 💯

Lauryn Hill also makes a cameo in the video! She’s one of the girls surrounding MC Lyte at the beginning of the song

Her LP Act Like You Know was so influential for a lot of people. She had a flow at the time that was waaaay ahead of her time. "If you love someone, you should say it often, You'll never know when they'll be laying in a coffin" Rhymes with life lesson quotables is another level of dope Lauryn Hill is in this video too

Do Mc lyte - keep on keeping on, Ruffneck, 10% dis, cold rock a party Why you wanna get fly, cha cha cha, paper thin And many more, one of the first females that had bars w/o curses and still🔥

She might be the greatest or second. It’s between her and Roxanne Shante

Did you see young Lauren Hill dancing next to MC Lyte😊

One of my favorite hip-hop beats and song... CLASSIC 💯

Sunshine beautiful queen in Brooklyn!! Stilled listening today’s!!

Highly recommend Paper Thin by MC Lyte, it really shows off her lyrical skills

This song has a good storyline but you should check out Cha,Cha,Cha from MC Lyte. One of her best songs

You it's me again..I swear your vibe is out of this world..yo talk about putting chills on you ..yo I caught the chills right before you caught yours.. thinking the same thing..mc lute is my number one female rapper of all time...yo she's lyte as a rock .check the song of that name..lyte as a rock..mc lyte

You have to react to Cha Cha Cha and Paper Thin.

I've had a crush on MC Lyte for the last 30 years (Salt from Salt n Pepa too). Good looking out with the MC Lyte reaction.

The greatest female MC of all time for me! If you look carefully you'll notice a young Lauryn Hill in this video...

Love MC Lyte. I hadn’t seen it mentioned here but I dig “Cappuccino”

Sample is Jackson 5 "I Wanna Be Where You Are"

Club banger is fire back in the day and still is

Love her voice quality

Paper thin, 10% dis, cha cha cha, Ruff neck these are l banger 🔥 by Lyte

My favorite female rapper of all time

Classic song 🔥

I'm sorry for asking about MC LYTE yet. Big props to you. 👍💯

You have a good ear for music and you are correct. Because Michael Jackson's producer, Quincy Jones, loved to use the musicians from the band Toto and Brothers Johnson in the studio sessions with Michael and many other acts, if you listen to the original Georgie Porgie and I'll Be Good To You, then you will finish connecting the dots.

Finally!! More Lyte, Latifah and Rapsody!

If you're hittin up this era... Check out the posse cuts "Self-Destruction" (East Coast) and "We're all in the same Gang" (West Coast) - Both part of the stop the violence movement. Lyte is on the first one!

MC LYTE GOT THAT SONG FROM GRUOP FROM 80S CALLED TOTO ITS CALLED GORGY PORGY, FT CHERLY LYNE

She was an artist

Check out "Cappuccino" for a dope example of Lyte's storytelling.

The best storyteller to do it

Top 10 MC's of all time, male or female

That's sampled from 2 tracks. Georgy Porgy by Toto, singing by little Michael Jackson.

Nah, you're right. Kids needed that message too.

Great first song to listen to by her

Wsup Ahmad, appreciate the reaction bro. I had to look back because I thought you were already up on Lyte. #1 Fan here but unfortunately some of her dopest tracks didn't have videos so you'll have to react to Ruffneck if nothing else. There's also Paper Thin, Stop, Look & Listen and Cha Cha Cha.

Paper thin is another nice song by her

Jackson 5 Wana Be Where You Are

You are partly right, The higher part is Michael Jackson, I Wanna Be Where You Are, but it's laced with a lower sample from The Supremes, My World Is Empty Without You. The block sounding drop is Jimmy Spicer, The Bubble Bunch. The main track is and sampling is Toto's George Porgy. Also if you look close you'll see Lauryn Hill hanging as one of her home girls, front left, orange and brown plaid shirt and blue denim hat.

yes it is michael jackson, but then it was the jackson five, I Wanna Be Where You Are by Michael Jackson (1972)

That sample is from a band called toto

Lyte as a rock but hard as hell!! Ruffneck & Paper Thin were probably my favorites

Top 20 hip hop song of all time

Best song by a female rapper = ever You need to check out Mc lyte "2 young for what" a lot of ppl 4got about that 1. It was deep lyte (always like that side to her)

You should check out her song Ruffneck and Keep on Keepin on they are probably two of my favorite songs by her they are dope asf

MC Lyte: Stop Look Listen and Cappuccino.

Cha Cha Cha

Instant Like 👍

MC Lyte - "Cha Cha Cha" and "Ruffneck"
