Biography

Biography by Greg Prato

MC Lyte was one of the first female rappers to point out the sexism and misogyny that often runs rampant in hip-hop, often taking the subject head on lyrically in her songs and helping open the door for such future artists as Queen Latifah and Missy Elliott. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Lyte began rhyming at the age of 12, which eventually led to a single, "I Cram to… Read more in Amazon's MC Lyte Store

3.0 out of 5 stars "mature atrtist" warning sticker needed, April 24, 2006
This review is from: Bad As I Wanna B (Audio CD)
MC Lyte's first batch of albums up until "Act Like U Know' were very groundbreaking in terms of female-led hip hop. This album saw a bit of a change in her career and it seems like on 'Bad As I Wanna B' she was trying to re-mould herself into the guise of a sultry and slightly mysterious sexy figure. That's just my opinion. But even though she still shows the ability to rock the mic like a vandal, it's the beats which don't quite measure up on this one. They're a bit too refined and polite compared to the earlier albums which are much more raw and untamed. That said it's still a good album and you can probably play this at a bar-B-Q with your friends and occasionally dance, but if you end up burning the sausages then you should stop hosting that kind of social occasion. Fire is dangerous.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST MC's! TRUE HIPHOP, August 13, 2004
This review is from: Bad As I Wanna B (Audio CD)
"have u ever ever in your long living life seen a woman rock the mic like the one called the LYTE" . . MC LYTE. She's the baddest chick in the game and one of the greatest MC's. Cop Aint no Other, Eyes on This, Act Like You know and lyte as a rock. The Queen of conscious rap is dope. Only Lauryn comes close to her microphone skills.

This review is from: Bad As I Wanna B (Audio CD)
No one can touch MC Lyte. This CD is a collector and should be in your collection. If you are looking for true HIP-HOP then this is it.
