Damn Lyte aging very well..Her beauty always been consistent..She never fell off!
Fax
Nose job
@@bionichustla100 so? 😭😭😭
She keeps looking better as she gets older!❤️❤️
That's the first thought I had when I clicked the video
Facts. Greatest verse ever. I memorized this as a shorty.
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"..💯💯💯
Indubitably!
Poor Georgie was one of my favorites
Lady G.O.A.T. Of Rap!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
For sure!
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.
TY!
No!!
MC Lyte is top tier but nah fam. Having help with a line or 2 is fine but somebody penning your entire rhyme is wack
Untrue
Being honest ain't keeping nobody from their flowers. It giving credit where it's due.
WOW...shes..more beautiful now
That's crazy.
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!!!!
Can We just talking about how beautiful she is. MYYYY Gooodnessss!!!!!!
Most definitely is BEAUTIFUL
Love seeing MC Lyte again. One of the greats on the female side, true MC
SHE 1 OF OUR GREATS PERIOD!!
Again? Where u been bro? MC Lyte was out the spot light for a min but she everywhere right now doin podcasts n wut not and been back in the public eye for yrs at this point, although, not doin music....look her up!
I dont care who wrote it she delivered it, the cadence/flow, She had the dopest rhymes on Self Destruction!
She didnt get paid for it bottom line
Everyone killed it, but in my opinion, Heavy D had the best verse.
Ms Melody verse is underrated
all the way for sure!!!!!!!
“…The violence in rap must cease and settle, if we wanna develop and grow to another level , we can’t be Guinea pigs for the devil…” so poignant. The foresight. Hers & D-Nice
Man! This interview was lit! Salute goddess 🙌
She looks absolutely Gorgeous
Her verse was raw. I'm so glad I'm an 80's baby.
ME TOO
I LOVE MC LYTE 😍😍
She's the one the best of the best of all times in She's a beautiful black 🖤 queen of rap music 🎶
Hope there will be a movie 🎬 or biopic about her and how she got started and her career. She is so dope. Just an amazing artist and person. So talented 👏
Would love to see lil mana play her
Lyte fine as hell…🔥🔥🔥
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‼️‼️
Queen of hip hop.👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
MC Lyte is the Queen of Rap....💯💯💯
HONESTLY.... ROXANNE SHANTE 🔥💯 IS 😎💯
@@larrymartinbennett2199 not even close....
Much love and respect to her she is so pretty
"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
Do you rob the rich and give to the poor.
Moral of the story :
LL lasted this long bc he knew the business and how to get paid
You think he never extended the profits with MC Lite! To be honest I have stopped being shocked by the business side of things. I think she was played.
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.
LL built DEF Jam
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.
Mc lyte still tuff lord hammercy
Facts.
Maaan, this woman gorgeous. MC LYTE she can win a rap fight...
MC Lyte is fine 🔥🔥🔥
Iconic artist love lyte.
Yesss, my birthday twin and one of my inspirations in rap music 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😍🥰 I love Lyte!

My Fav Female MC👑👑
People forgot LL was ghostwriting.
I remember. He even co-wrote a song for Run-D.M.C.
Wow, I didn't know,
@@joelsims98 yup. Can You Rock It Like This from the King of Rock album
He was
she just finished saying they wrote it in tandem.
I loved that Foster Mc elroy song with her! 👌🏿💯👍🏿💃🏿 She is still a legend!
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.
Bingo !!!And that is why we have this weird mumble jumbo jack music today...
Nothing dumb about that verse
Much ❤ from 🇭🇹 HAITI
Lady 🐐 female mc's ever❤
Hot 97📻🎶🎼❤

@@karlwilliams8906 yep there's no female today that would come close to her lyrical skills
God bless her daily❤
Love Lyte!!
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
She is still beautiful
This sister is sooo CHOICE!!! Brooklyn baby!!
She's gorgeous.
She still looks great!
Kool Moe Dee's verse was laser accurate!!!
This is why I love the girl...Peace to Kreepy Clown for working miracles on a four track✊🏿👑👑
her parent should be proud of her as I am!!!
Mannn oh Mann My Queen witta Crown !!!!!!!
Lyte is the reason i started drinking cappuccino.
Love your honesty.
Same here. I've been ashamed for too long to admit it. I, too, drink the hot frothy concoction because of Lyte as well.
She pretty asf
Mc Lyte definition of Hip Hop TRUTH 💯
The LYTE 🎶🎶🎶
I wish we got her verse, because we needed her sense too.
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.
She is stunningly beautiful
She is so sofine and my Libra birthday twin.
That 2% that LL got means he wrote her verse or majority of her verse.
EXACTLY!!!!
Still fine af
Father God I pray that you help the person reading this to have a blessed life and a happy one💯 🇯🇲🙏
This is a nice gesture. Be blessed as well. 🙏🏿
Amen Amen
LL clearly stated that he wrote that self-destruction. Maybe that's why he got the points.
Happy Belated Birthdizzle.
I miss the Audio 2
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.
The best female rapper... EVER!!!
I always thought of Lyte as my female Rakim!!
Listen to mc lyte interview
Ll definitely said he wrote it and he said he did it for free
