She is unequivocally, undeniably, my favorite female rapper of all time period..Back in the time of true lyracists, as naughty by nature one said in an interview..." She so nice, she scares dudes"..💯💯💯

I think almost every MC has had help from a friend or another rapper on at least one song. So folks need to stop making it seem like this is an issue. Most singers don't write all their songs so it would make sense every rapper doesn't. Lyte is still probably one of the baddest female MCs...scratch that...one of the baddest MCs that has touched a mic. Give the woman her flowers.

There's a video from that era and LL claims he didn't get paid. So somebody is lying. But if LL wrote it and was paid, and MC got the notoriety for saying this classic verse, then it's fair exchange

@@nejolo9563 No disrespect but what was she entitled too. Technically she didn't fully write her verse so of course she wasn't going to get no bread. Hell LL said he ain't get no bread from it. She got notoriety for a classic verse penned with assistance.

"Funky fresh dressed to impress ready to party, Money in your pocket dining with your buddy, To get inside you paid a whole Ten Dollars, Scotch Tape with a razor blade taped to your collar, Leave the guns and crack and knives alone, MC Lyte's on the microphone, Bum Rushing and pushing snatching and taxing, I can't understand why brothers don't be maxing, There is only one disco they will close one more, You ain't guarding the door so what you got a Gun for?" - MC Lyte, Self Destruction
I loved that verse and MC Lyte Voice is so dope. She sound like ur favorite aunt schooling u to the world when she raps. Plus she Fine as eva. Hey Ms Lyte!!!!

Yeah the lyrics was Dope but it was the Delivery that did it! Not just any mc could of pulled that off. Mc lytes voice was very unique n hard for a female rapper back then but also she didn't give off Dyke vibes to be coming so hard back then she wore Baggy clothes pretty much dresses like a dude but yet all us men still thought she was sexy AF! N wanted to smash 😅 nowadays these female rappers think they have to be up there rapping looking like strippers to have a male fan base smh man I miss these days word! Thank u Mc lyte‼️‼️
Love seeing MC Lyte again. One of the greats on the female side, true MC

Basically what they were saying is that deep thinking MCs have to dumb it down for the powers that shouldn't be be and the masses (sheople) or your don't get airplay. Props to the legend MC Lyte. One of my favorite rappers of all time.

It should never be looked at as dumbing it down it's called reading the room. think about it all the big hit records from every genre to Michael Jackson folks don't care to hear anything deep like they having a lecture lesson. They drunk/ high and just want to have a good time with catchy beats & lyrics. That's why songs that are club bangers you aren't going to find Conscious Rap anywhere near it.

I think ALL the lines were fantastic. Even Favs "Boyyeeeee". "Took a brother's life with a knife as his wife cried cuz he died a trifling death... very last words were...I slipped so watch your stop". But THIS ONE LINE RIIIGHT HERE: "I never wver ran from the Klu Klux Klan, and i SHOULDN'T have to run from a black man", was and IS (in 2023) the muc drop.
Low key I wanna hear the original verse...Lyte is so so dope, eloquent, fine and legendary. Glad to have seen this interview.

Today’s young wannabes ought to listen to MC Lyte as she shares truths on the BUSINESS of being an artist. Unlike MC Lyte, Kool Moe Dee, LL Cool J, Kurtis Blow, Slick Rick, the Sugar Hill Gang and many other rappers from the ‘80s whose music is still relevant AND memorable (40) years later, the music of today’s rappers won’t be remembered in (4) MONTHS let alone years from now. Thanks for sharing this interview with us. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #musicofmy20’s
i COULD OF SWEAR I READ BACK IN THE DAYS THAT LL COOL J WROTE HER VERSE. I THINK IT WAS IN ONE OF THOSE RAP MAGAZINES BACK THEN.

There is a "making of" video from 1988 on this platform. It's incorrectly dated but titled "The Stop The Violence Video: Overcoming Self Destruction (1990) HD" MC Lyte and Nelson George both explain why MC Lyte abandoned what she originally wrote in exchange for what she and LL wrote together.
