MC Lyte Sets The Record Straight On Writing Verse From 'Self Destruction' 

Damn Lyte aging very well..Her beauty always been consistent..She never fell off!

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"..💯💯💯

Lady G.O.A.T. Of Rap!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

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.

Can We just talking about how beautiful she is. MYYYY Gooodnessss!!!!!!

I dont care who wrote it she delivered it, the cadence/flow, She had the dopest rhymes on Self Destruction!

Ms Melody verse is underrated

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‼️‼️

Moral of the story : LL lasted this long bc he knew the business and how to get paid

WOW...shes..more beautiful now That's crazy.

"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

Love seeing MC Lyte again. One of the greats on the female side, true MC

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!!!!

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 👏

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.

Maaan, this woman gorgeous. MC LYTE she can win a rap fight...

Mc lyte still tuff lord hammercy

MC Lyte is the Queen of Rap....💯💯💯

Her verse was raw. I'm so glad I'm an 80's baby.

People forgot LL was ghostwriting.

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.

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

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!!!

Okay I know this is 2 years old but she looks fantastic

Mannn oh Mann My Queen witta Crown !!!!!!!

LL clearly stated that he wrote that self-destruction. Maybe that's why he got the points.

Listen to mc lyte interview

I miss the Audio 2

Mc Lyte definition of Hip Hop TRUTH 💯

Big up from portmore 🇯🇲 MC lyte One of the queens of Hip hop

Kool Moe Dee's verse was laser accurate!!!

I always thought of Lyte as my female Rakim!!
