    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‼️‼️

    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.

    Scotch Tape with a razor blade taped to your collar,
    Leave the guns and crack and knives alone,

    Bum Rushing and pushing snatching and taxing,

    • @wrecker402
      @wrecker402 Год назад +1

      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.

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.
