1988: my mom gave me $20 for chores around the house. I got my shirt dry cleaned for the school dance that night, $5. Got my ticket for the dance $5. Bought this Sweet Tee vinyl single $5. After the dance got two slices of pizza and a soda $4.50. Played two video games with the change. That was an amazing day.

On top of that, he mostly layered some instrumentation on top of most of his "sampled jnterpolations" before the sample laws came into existence...so you KNOW those royalty statements came in lookin' fit for a King
I was in love with the dancer with the Yonkers shirt on as a shorty. And the beat is so classic. Love Sweet Tee's flow. She was never given her due credit as a pioneer.
Why is it that Sweet Tee's name is rarely (if ever) mentioned when the topic of "Great Female MC's" come up???? But TRINA is considered one of the greatest?????? A damn shame!!!!
I'm 24, born in '93, and she was before my time, but I think she's dope. I had her songs in my playlist when I was 18 in college. I tried putting some of my female friends on her at the time, but I guess they couldn't respect real Hip hop.
I guess she wasn’t dressing scantly clad and thotie enough for them. Think it was whack. Oh well they don’t know what hip hop how it was back then anyway. 🤷🏿♂️
I’m 16 born in ‘07 and female rappers like Sweet Tee, Salt’N Pepa, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte and all those other female rappers of that time were before my time but I absolutely love them because they didn’t have to twerk or talk dirty just to sell records like most of the new female rappers
You couldn't tell I wasn't Sweet Tee in the mirror when I played this song! funny how those outfits are in style right now lol. I should've kept those jeans 🤣
Going through the comments and can't believe she's working in public service helping people a true testament to the fact that God has a plan for us all! Be blessed to everyone listening in 2019!
I was reminded of this song recently when I was listening to Aesop Rock - Dorks. The scratching is over a sample of "Don't need no help, all by myself" from the first verse of this. I'm glad I heard that because I haven't heard this song in years.
Dope, female rapper, most definitely underrated! They don't build females like us anymore. She was born March 2, 1967. I was born April 17, 1967, in Queens,New York! No wonder I gravitated to her music!🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾😁🤷🏾♀️😎🎉
Sweet tee got that daddy Kane.....flow.... Never forget my good times growing up ...with la fresh posse...rest in peace to all my boy’s that not here....big up to mount Vernon....1980s were the good years....
Oh my how I loved Sweet Tee...& I wanted to be gorgeous like her too!! Goodness...her music...dope in Charleston S.C...jealous how all the military guys loved her,!!! ❤❤😂 You go sis with your bad self!!!
Sweet tee and salt n pepa roxanne shante. Female rap pioneers. But props to angie b and sha rock wanda dee. A few others but they only had a couple records.
was in grade 10 when find-ass Sweet Tee dropped this gem. can't believe that this classic is three decades old already, tho. damn, it's the double-truth: time waits for no-one....
Man I had a crush on Sweet Tee when I was a teenager from BX and she was from Queens but I still think she's the sexiest woman in that era that was a straight up lyrical rapper. This over Latifah, Lyte, Salt N Pepa, Mary J. All of em even leadin up to Kim & Foxy. 💯 she was straight 🔥!!!
Who's cranking this smooth tip in 2024?

Miss those days. Still can't believe I'm almost 50! I can remember me and future EX-WIFE skipping school. Watching Days of Our Lives and Yo MTV Raps!
The REAL hip hop era 1979-1998. Downhill ever since.
Since 2003 for me
I miss this type of hip hop!!
This is REAL HIP HOP
This old school will always be my ❤️
This is all I listen to!! HIP-HOP MUSIC!! CLASSIC HIP-HOP MUSIC!! The legendary Toi Crystal Jackson aka Sweet T!! 💯🎤🎛🎧

Rhymes were simpler then
@mikelldavis8274 indeed they were and much better
@@mikelldavis8274Understandable lyrics too! Although I was a kid then, I loved her rhymes 🔥
WOW!!!! Flawless flow and tight ass beat. You can understand every lyric and punchline.
'88 was a good year! Didnt have to worry about producers wanting to rappers and all in the videos!!
J Hoo well damn Suge Knight
Lol
💯
😄
But Hurby Luv Bug was all up in the videos. He was literally in Salt n Pepa, Kid n Play videos too. Lol
Herbie was in his prime during these days as a producer
Herbie use to kill it with those go-go drums...
Hurbie was the first puffy
Yup!
The man is Genius
On top of that, he mostly layered some instrumentation on top of most of his "sampled jnterpolations" before the sample laws came into existence...so you KNOW those royalty statements came in lookin' fit for a King

Why is it that Sweet Tee's name is rarely (if ever) mentioned when the topic of "Great Female MC's" come up???? But TRINA is considered one of the greatest?????? A damn shame!!!!
Sweet Tee is one of the hardest that EVER did it!
She was on The Show for a reason. #5 is the hardest song on the whole soundtrack.
Trina?!!! Oh hell no!!
An Antionette
+CZBLH GRIOT: I think the fact that Sweet Tee only made one album has something to do with it.
Back when ladies didn't have to get nekked to sell records.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
when I was young I swore that was Play . I guess I didn't like this song .
There's nothing wrong with getting nekid. It's a good thing.

Sweet Tee is definitely real hip hop!!!

1988 a big year for hip hop
I remember seeing hearing this song when my mama was college. They was stepping to this song
How those birds were chirping in the background when she woke up is truly how Mf’s woke up back in the day on a sunny morning. Peaceful as hell.
lol good point
My crush back in the day!! Still got her music on vinyl.
Sweet Tee & Nikki D were the hardest femcees back then to me...& LYTE
Hold This L. Debarge Don’t forget Monie Love & Antionette!
Hold This L. Debarge Salt and Pepa opened doors for all of them to walk through
James Hudson I was just about to say Antionette
Yessss
@@mynameisnotgirl8184 Id say Roxanne Shante did that but they are also at the forefront
Back when female MC's had SKILLS
Class
They still do though...
@@NessLeeAtl some they actually wrote back then
@@Ceeflowers as do they now
@@NessLeeAtl they sucks now
She is 102% Classy, just saw her last night at a Party in Ny. She is the true meaning of HipHops finest, Respect and Love T..
One of my favorites to watch back then
