This sounds like something I’ve already heard……oh well. Good to see the return of a REAL hip hop artist.

I like Lyte. However . . . ..hmmmmmmm NEXT!

Speaking of Mc Lyte, yall need to feature Tyra B and her new song! It’s great!

…how old is this chick again..??

give it a rest boo boo.

She’s been doing her thing 4 a while, and ppl such as Missy Elliott and Da Brat have paid homage to her for paving the way for them…BUT…i think it’s time to give up the music thing and maybe do some production, artist development, or acting…u cant be a rapper when ur like 45 yrs old (not that she;s 45, but u know what i mean)

love the hair……not to sure about this drop

Did it ever occur to you that people over the age of 30 listen to hip hop? MC Lyte will always have an audience of fans that appreciate her work despite the haters and nay sayers!

She sounds like a man to me…

Go MC Lyte!!

Glad to See MC Lyte back at it…Has anyone heard about Lil Wayne on the Boondocks tonight…I saw the full episode on www.freshopoly.com

Her hair is the biz!

WHAT DOES AGE HAVE TO TO WITH ANYTHING……MC LYTE IS A LEGEND!

She raps so hard to me lol at 8.

WHAT DOES AGE HAVE TO TO WITH ANYTHING……MC LYTE IS A LEGEND!
_______________________________

Exactly… 20 years in the game, and still better than most of these current female rappers.

LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!! DAMMIT!!!!

I see MC Lyte is embracing the Alternative Lifestyle, huh….

Speaking of which:
Has anyone else heard the rumour the Queen Latifah is getting married to her long time partner/trainer Jeanette Jenkins ??

Google “Queen Latifah getting Married”

“I see MC Lyte is embracing the Alternative Lifestyle, huh….”

who the hell cares. And what could that possibly have to do with her timelessness in the rap game.

Love her esp her 2nd comeback during the early-mid 90s with “rough neck”

thankyou Lolly POP. life dont end at 29.5 and you don’t go to a nursing home.

This is a nice track. There’s so much room for a positive (read:normal) female hiphop artist in the game right now. It’s sad that our daughters and wives have to pick between Kim, Fox, and Remi.

@Bill I read that last week about Queen. I’m happy for her although she hasn’t come out yet, it is the worst keep secret.

Is that an engagement ring on her finger? Love you Lyte!

M.Klean (10),

I love the Boondocks!!! I checked it out…LMAO…I bet Weezy acts just like that!!!!
www.freshopoly.com is pretty dope…nice post.

OK…stop the hating!!!! Yall need to Chill on Lyte and her age, cause all these kats out here that’s doin the do in the game is in her age group! To be real, Jay Z, LL, Most of the Wu, and pretty much anybody that’s really anything be heard is around her age…

Oh yeah, I loved Lyte back in the day. It’s funny because I was just cleaning out some of my old high school stuff and I found my Eyes on This cassette. Timeless!

I also loved her rhyme on the Self Destruction single….”there’s only one disco, they’ll close one more you ain’t guardin the door, so what you got a gun for? Do you rob the rich and give to the poor…?” I love it!!!

I wonder how a song like that would go with today’s rappers. I guess they’d have to get past all the bling and girls shakin their booties all over the place. lol!

“This is a nice track. There’s so much room for a positive (read:normal) female hiphop artist in the game right now. It’s sad that our daughters and wives have to pick between Kim, Fox, and Remi.”

Embark, I couldn’t agree with you more. Just b/c she’s not talking about being the baddest b***h, her nana and diamond encrusted chinchilla earmuffs, doesn’t mean that her music is passe or irrelevant. I’m glad she’s reintroducing more upbeat and positive lyrics to the rap scene. She looks pretty in the pic too, alternative lifestyle or not.

How old are some of you on here??Mc Lyte is hip hop royalty you better recognize!! I guess some of you are 2 busy shaking your asses to Solja Boy to know what a real artist is all about. And WTF, Bill with your “I see MC Lyte is embracing the Alternative Lifestyle, huh” What does that have to do with her music?? Or Queen Latifah’s talents? Queen Latifah was NOT mentioned here! Are you boning either one of them? If not let it go!

Also, you are not dead if you’re over 30! There are plenty of “older” rappers still doing their thing. When you are doing something you love, there are no age constraints. This was how she started so I can see how she might want to test today’s market and see how well she does. Plus, I’m sure it’s just fun for her to do.

Trust me, when Lil Wayne is 50, he’ll still be rockin a grill (dentured) and releasing “The Carter LX”!

OMG! Queen Latifah getting married? Well , It does look like it is so!

But let me tell you and we all know she played “CLEO” a little too damn well in SET IT OFF ! hahahahaha!

uhh doesn’t the phrase go “a force TO be reckoned with”? lol, i’m just sayin.

#4 must be young as hell. McLyte paved the way for all these female rap artists out now so why should she give it a rest when the rap game for females is wide open now. Ain’t nobody doing $hit. Would you tell Micheal Jackson the same thing? No, because he is a legend. And so is Lyte.

I like this song by Lyte. And I don’t care for short hairstyles but her hair is the $hit!

HOT DAMN, SHE CAN’T BE STOPPED
CAUSE SHE LYTE THE MC
AND SHE’S AS LYTE AS A ROCK

There is a huge difference between an older man and an older woman in this society…it’s why so many people are like WHAT?!! I, personally, don’t see it happening for any female rapper, unless she’s in a group with a lot of hyper kinetic dudes…Like the Crime Mob girl (cause one is out).

@ #26, i couldn’t have said it better myself… she’s gorgeous, talented, and brings REAL music. ya’ll youngins need to learn how to appreciate the good stuff

How old is she? Will she still fit in the hip hop world?

Wikipedia says:

MC Lyte (born Lana Michele Moorer, 11 October 1970, Brooklyn, New York) is a female rap artist and the younger sister of Milk Dee and Gizmo, who recorded under the name of Audio Two.

You can tell there are a bunch of young and sensless children in tha house. Lyte can still git down and rap circles around the “so called” women mc’s that are in the game now. Hell when was 30 the new 50, I’m 36 and people think i’m 21 because some of yall look old ass hell for 20 year olds, but dumb as hell. Thats just my opinion.

ummm… how old is jay z?

Same age as my number Getalife.

Me likes!! The words were put together well and the beat is good. I always did like MC Lyte as a mc. She knows how to connect the dots on songs.

im actually feelin this song.

This new MC Lyte track sounds pretty nice. It’s a breath of fresh air compared to what other female rappers are spitting now-a-days.

Lyte is actually part of a group called “Almost September” which is where this song comes from. This woman still has it, so why can’t she continue to rock? What does her sexuality have to do with her skills, it’s crazy that anytime Lyte is mentioned people was talk about something that they really no nothing about.

i like the song… i can´t wait for her new album…. This is real hip hop ….SHE´S A F*KING LEGEND.. show some respect, people.

Say Word!!!!

“I CRAM TO UNDERSTAND” THE “CAPPUCINO” IS A “RUFFNECK” WHEN HE SHOULD’VE BEEN “GEORGIE PORGIE”?!!!!

SOME WORD PLAY FOR THE YOUNGIN’S THAT DON’T KNOW THE LEGEND THEY’RE SPEAKING ILL OF!!!

CONCRETE (EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE YOUNGER TOO) NEEDS TO MONITOR THE BOARDS WHEN IT COMES TO OUR VETS. IF THESE KNUCKLEHEADS DON’T KNOW WHEN AND HOW TO PAY RESPECT, DON’T LET THEM POST.

I like this a whole lot. It’s such a throwback but still contemporary. And thank you #37!

Oooooooooooh, I LOVE MC Lyte!!! Old skool in tha house!!!! And time has definitely been good to her! Get it, Lyte!

Wow…I’m having the worst day at work…still at the office and decided to check out CL. THANKS FOR LIFTING MY SPIRITS. I’m so excited about this track and all the others to come. Thank you Lyte for bringing it back. Ahhhh…I can smile now.

“Kick this one for Brooklyn”. I am trying not to take these posts to hard to heart…not to mention that she is the “dopest female thus far”, and probably will be and she is also a Honorary Soror of my sorority….I just “cram to understand”, why is that it’s ok that Madonna and other ol’ azz white performers can be embraced by their white peers and others…but here it is a hip-hop legend, still doing her thang and is fly azz hell people have to be putting we as black folks down on this Rap Rhoyalty?

The female rap game is mess up, there ain’t nobody in the game or that has been in the game that is still holding it down:

Lauren Hill: “Lost One”
Eve: Has not been consistent, since Dr. Dre stopped producing her ish
Lil Kim: Biggie was her Writer, resorted to Ghost Writers, been in jail and is basically not as influential
Remy Ma: Was Fat Joe’s Ghost Writer, has been in jail and is basically not essential to the game
Foxy Brown: Jay Z was her Ghost Writer, has been in jail and is basically not essential to anyone….yet alone the rap game
Trina: => NEXT
Charlie Baltimore: Biggie Protoge’ dried up and has never been a threat to the game at all
Rah Digga; Not that essential
The Bratt: Essentail for a min
Queen Latifah: Left the rap game for old white folks music
Missy Elliot: Is more a singer/producer but can have the best of all worlds, but rap game is alright!

NEED NOT SAY MORE!

IMO, MC Lyte is and will ALWAYS the best female rapper. Her lyrics actually SAY something. Lyte can do no wrong. I hope she drops another CD, and shows them how it’s done!

I like this joint by MC Lyte. It was great to hear a female rapper whose words actually have substance. Welcome back Lyte- show these children how to really put it down.

I SAY SHE TOO OLD FOR THIS….

SERIOUSLY RAP IS A YOUNG PERSONS GAME

THATS JUS DA WAY SOCIETY IS

U WOULDNT WANNA SEE A 40+ STRIPPER

JUS LIKE U DONT WANNA HEAR A 40+ RAPPER

SHIT SHE JUS LAY BACK AND BE A LEGEND

DONT BE LIKE M. JORDAN AND FUCKIN UP DA LEGACY

I like MC Lyte new single. Laid back groove.

Ladies,

Mc Lyte is forever classic and a true artist.

Checkout Pete.Colon’s new single “Shame On Me” at www.myspace.com/petecolon

This is a song that you will appreciate and will be big in 08′
Let him know what you think by leaving a comment.

Where the F is Mia X that’s who we really wanna here!

Not to be off subject but I live in Cali and my sister and I attempted to get into the I Love New York Reunion Show. Well we actually had an “e-mail invite” but somehow didn’t get in. I think the VH1 staff felt that there were enough nigg@hs in the building. They actually pulled some nerdy whites from the back of the line and formed another line. The extra blacks that did get in actually creeped over to that other line. Me and my sister played grown and just stayed in our spot(the 6th spot at that and had a blue ribbon on our wrisks). And to think I missed work for that day for that chit. If I didn’t sign that damn contract I would tell you who I thought won. I got some pics on my cell phone of some of the guys when they arrived. They did come to the gate and let us take pics. But one person arrived alone and the media totally surrounded him. Anywho, I’m loosing some love with VH1. They just refused to let that audience be predominantly BLACK.

Oh and MC Lyte looks okay…not feeling the 20 year old look with the 40+ face.

MC LYTE stay looking GOOD!!! This woman is the shyt & always will be in my book!! Plus she represents my home town BROOKLYN! She is defanately one of BK’s FINEST, & most cherished female LYRICIST! plus she is a great actress.

I like whatever she puts out as far as her music goes.

GOOD LOOK BRIAN!

To 29, Jae:

I thought I was the only one that caught that, too. LOL

It’s been a while since Lyte has come out with something, this is a good joint. Better than the junk that is getting put out now. Hope her CD do well when it comes out.

she does not look her age.. .. still looks pretty young

We could use MC Lyte in the game right about now. I love her voice and the song in straight.

FancyFace

LYTE ISN’T 40 PLUS, SHE’S NOT EVEN 40 YET…..

michelle haynes

YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO WANTS TO HEAR FROM HER…

Crazy, MC Lyte HAS TO BE 40 plus. I’m not insulting her but I really think she is older than 40.

tyra b ur good!! lol

mc lyte song= iight

I agree with some of you. Younger people always want someone to sit down after they have paved the way!! Remember your not going to get younger my friends trust me you move ahead a HOPE that you make it to where she is!!!!!

SHE LOOKS GOOD!!!!!

LISTEN IT’S NICE TO HEAR SOMEONE RAPPING ABOUT SOMETHING RELEVENT FOR A CHANGE.

MC LYTE IS A LEGEND SO HAVE SOME RESPECT YOUGINS!!!!!!!!!!!!

hell, it was people over the age of 30 that started hip hop so to all the kids coming on here insulting this pioneer while biggin up trash like Soulja Boy, DJ Khaled and Plies.
Ya’ll are a major joke to real hip hop lovers. Major.

Simplistic,
You are correct. Rap is for kids, Hip Hop is for true lyricists and grown folks.
Children would never respect or even understand someone of the caliber of MC Lyte.

SHE SHOULDB E THE POSTER CHILD FOR GOOD BLACK DONT CRACK, ON A SCALE OF ONE TO TEN, SHE IS A HUNDRED, EVEN SALT FROM SALT n PEPA, HAS AGED…LYTE, LOOKS FAB!

LOL @ #48. I agree 101% with your list. And LMAO @ “Trina: => NEXT”

@ #54 Michelle Haynes, I thought I was the only one. I looooooved Mia X. I always wonder WTH happened to her. All I know is that she wanted to finish college. But dayum! She should be through with that by now.

Well If the rest of the guys and do it, so can she….. Jay Z just turned 38 and he ain’t stopped. When that’s embedded in you, it just is. and if anybody can’t recognize that then…

as Mc Lyte would say…..”WHATCHU SAY DA ME IS JUST PAPER THIN!” IN ONE IN AND RIGHT OUT THE OTHER. HEARD HIS MUMBO JUMBO- LOVA!

agrees with number #68. There is a difference between rappers, and lyrical flows!

MC LYTE is a legend and one of the few women flowin’ I can see me spendin’ cake on . But the sad thing … labels goin’ to play her like the FOUR TOPS . This grown folk hiphop and it isn’t gettin’ it’s respect . Her song not comin’ with some dumb ass dance probably doomed her album ! SSDD

She is def. not to old for the game. If that’s so please Mr. S.dots to go sit down somewhere….that guy is like 41.

Anyway, I like the song. Tell’em what happens when a so-called “man” screws-up.

Bk Chick…..I am with on everything except for the statement about Latifah.
The music she sings is not “ole white folks music”, it is called jazz.
Jazz was created by Black Americans.
