Listening to this with my 11 y/o daughter. Just allowing her to see that women can make great music without taking off their clothes, not cussing or shaking their behinds all over the place. Thank you Ms. LYTE!!
God had to give us something to look up to, enjoy and be inspired because he knew what was coming.... IDK what we would be like these days if we didnt have 90's music to cut through the bull$h!t.
Not only could you UNDERSTAND every word, she had flow, great narrative, and a comprehensive story that sent a solid message. This is not only hip hop. This is ART AND POETRY at its finest. Love MC LYTE.
Yup. That's what I miss the most. The storytelling, flow along with the beat all working together as a complete whole. I don't like doing the old person era comparison thing but one of the things that bugs me about modern rap/hip hop is the beat does far too much of the heavy lifting.
When you say "Timeless Classics" = MC Lyte When you say "Poignant Lyrics" = MC Lyte When you say "All-Time Greatest MC's/Lyrist" = MC Lyte When you say "Under-appreciated/Underrated" = MC Lyte Poor Georgie along with MC Lyte's "Better Place," are on par with Tupac's "Dear Mama," "I ain't mad at Cha," and "Brenda's got a baby,"...powerful words and songs that resonate and evoke sentimentalities with virtually anyone from any part of the world.
His name is George…. We called him G.O. He died in a car crash in 1993… 2 weeks before our wedding! It took me years to be able to listen to this song again! RIP My Love💔#MyGeorgiPorgi
Celebrate celebrate he wants you to dance he wants you to smile he's in a better place with angels surrounded with gold one day we are going to end up there we do right celebrate
Little known fact : LL Cool J co wrote her verse on the Self Destruction song because Russell Simmons did not want him to participate on the song ...Public Enemy ignored him and and did it anyway!
Wow, so FREAKIN CLASSIC! Back then it was a lot of storytelling in rap. Notice you could understand every word she was saying, no cursing and the song had a message. Lyte was a pioneer! A BEAST! The 90's was a special time in hip-hop.
The sad part is the young women paved away for females to be respected thru their words an you could still bounce to the beat. Then later on down the road grabbing coochies, calling themselves bitches, an no you can say that kind of female wouldn't have made it today. I still love to hear me some Brat, Missy, Queen an the list go on, Smh 🤦🏽♀️ but thankful we was blessed to be apart of it. Look how lady like an successful most of them if not all have become they stepped in up knocked it out the Field 🎵🙏🏽😇
The best was by a group called Toto, titled Georgie Porgy. It featured vocals by Steve Lukather & background vocals by Cheryl Lynn recorded around 1978-79.
The storytelling was just so good. I really appreciate all the rappers from back in the day. I honestly wish I was born during this time period. This is real real hip-hop although I’m young, I’m glad I’m still able to listen to the foundation of this genre of music. Today’s rappers don’t even come close.
This song is still 1 of my favorite MC Lyte Joints til this day Her Art Of Storytelling was entertaining at the same time giving a message that still is relevant for today
For those who don’t know, the sample used here is “Georgy Porgy” performed by Toto. The live in Paris ‘93 version is by far one of the best concert performances in history. Those dudes rock out! Much love to all people out there making music. Much love to humans. Regardless of skin shade or language spoken. A C-Major or Minor is the same no matter! ❤️❤️👍✌️ This is my first time hearing this song however.
MC Lyte is one of the greatest female rappers. One of my coming of age artists. I loved their fashion back then. It was all about what they sang not what they wore
MC Lyte being one of best, sick flow, genuine, etc. , pay attention to what she’s telling yall in this song. I’m 43 now. 3 days ago was the 4th anniversary of my wife’s passing and I swear even the day I found her gone, I couldn’t remember the last time I told her I loved her….and it’s been killing me for 4 years now. Sure she knew I loved her, and I knew she loved me. We were in love. But no matter how long you’ve been together, plz y’all, say it to each other EVERYDAY. Don’t let it start to become something you just say on date night or her birthday or like that. No matter much you both know it already. In Lyte’s words “Say . it often”. I didn’t expect to tear up clicking on Lyte, but but it been a rough week.
This song is so amazing for so many reasons. Obviously the use of the original song’s meaning. The two depictions of a man; the player everyone feels as though they know and the man that has just as many issues as anyone else. Maybe even more. The story telling of this record always makes me second guess my writing skills. Breaking down multiple perspectives as well as maintaining her own. Topics that people still discuss today.The beat itself tells the same story with the ins and outs/samples. Captivating if you claim a love for story telling. More importantly creativity. This one record alone puts MC Lyte in my top 3 rappers male or female of all time. Much Love ❤️
Same man just played gta 4 for the first time a week ago and the in game radio classic introduced me to cha cha cha. I was hooked ever since and now I discovering more great songs by her.
Used to own the cassette tape back when I was in high school in Rabun County, Georgia, and listened to it over and over again. She was (and still is) one of my favourite rappers. But my 1st time ever to see the video! It also brings back memories of participating in campaigns against drunk driving in high school and university as part of organisations like SADD and SOAR. Sadly, here in Chiang Mai, Thailand , where I am now, drunk driving is an even worse problem, both for teenagers and adults of all ages, as compared to back then in the U.S., because here there is NO public transport late at night when people are going home from bars and clubs, and most people have a motorcycle rather than a car and go to bars and clubs alone or in twosomes, which makes a "designated driver" not an option. Also, more people, as compared to the U.S., drink hard liquor like whiskey. Far more people here have died of road accidents, as compared to COVID, yet a National Emergency was declared for the latter, but almost nothing is done about drunk driving and other bad driving and road accidents, including very little police enforcement of driving rules.
This was track 6 and the 2nd single from MC Lyte's 3rd album "Act Like You Know" and was the 2nd song I learned by this super cool rapper. This is a real 1991 party song right here.
I'm so thankful to women hip hop pioneers like Lyte, Latifah, and Shane who showed me being a woman is not about showing sexuality. But always showing intelligence, strength, and self-pride.
It's like hearing the other side of "Just A Friend".... Those piano chords are blowin' my top... Message comes right across: 'Don't be afraid to LOVE!' So much respect & love to MC LYTE!
This song is still amazing in 2014. The way she flows, the way she is teaching without it sounding preachy, her story telling... Lyte was a great em cee.
*When we were kids. "Our parents just* *don't understand this music"* *Now as parents. "Kids just don't* *understand this music"* *The Absolute Irony😂*

Music with a message I miss this kind of music
So true
No cursing at all
They don't make music like this anymore they stop making good music in the late 80s early 90s
Yesssss
No doubt not men or women sending this kind of message. I remember this one very good
"If you love someone you should say it often, you'll never know when they'll be laying in a coffin".
So THAT'S where E-40 got it from

The one from Eric Benet is the original though right?

Yes 😢
She was Badass back in the day.
Especially her lyrics like this.."Funky fresh dressed to impress,ready to party".
Amazing M.C. Lyte
We got notice this shit....
Little known fact : LL Cool J co wrote her verse on the Self Destruction song because Russell Simmons did not want him to participate on the song ...Public Enemy ignored him and and did it anyway!
SELF DESTRUCTION....... This song was about Georgies Self Destruction. Wow. KRS 1 put her on. This is still lit.
I THINK 🤔 SHE STILL IS BAD ASS. CHILD HOOD MEMORIES BRINGS BACK GOOD TIME'S I WAS 20 LIVING IN PATERSON NJ AWESOM

One of my favorite songs by Lyte
One of my favorite hip hop songs of all. Lyte kicked those songs that the average person can relate to.
Where did you get the TV on the tree from?
When rap was about life...
This beat got a cold ass breakdown and mc lyte voice killed it
TUSHAY!!
DJ really did a great job here.
Georgie Porgie by Africa, mixed with Michael Jackson's Where I wanna be
This whole beat was a sample from a 70's white rock group.. Toto..
Eazy E voice. Same person
Her flow, the beat, the sample. Absolute perfection. MC Lyte is the queen of Hip Hop. STILL bumpin this track in 23!
MC Lyte's dopest song. I cannot believe that's Lauryn Hill as one of the extra girls there too! 2 Legends!

Without a doubt
Lauryn Hill is.....The GOAT
I see her more as a singer than a rappers.

It’s the flow for me. ❤️ McLyte fly as hell.
better jump trees
MC Lyte being one of best, sick flow, genuine, etc. , pay attention to what she’s telling yall in this song. I’m 43 now. 3 days ago was the 4th anniversary of my wife’s passing and I swear even the day I found her gone, I couldn’t remember the last time I told her I loved her….and it’s been killing me for 4 years now. Sure she knew I loved her, and I knew she loved me. We were in love. But no matter how long you’ve been together, plz y’all, say it to each other EVERYDAY. Don’t let it start to become something you just say on date night or her birthday or like that. No matter much you both know it already. In Lyte’s words “Say . it often”.

This is the music I vibe to.
The 80s was one of the best times for music 🎶 I'm so glad I got to be there.

Positive hip-hop so refreshing!
This song is still amazing in 2014. The way she flows, the way she is teaching without it sounding preachy, her story telling... Lyte was a great em cee.
Lyte's performance of Poor Georgie on In Living Color was classic!!!
Did she pioneer the phrase, "state to state?" I here it CONSTANTLY in Hip-Hop.
"Don't think that it can't happen to you..." Oh I BELIEVE you, Lyte!!! I BELIEVE!!!!
