MC Lyte is truley the greatest and the best female rapper we will ever see! She was the coolest most stylish laid back inspirational rapper out there. Mc Lyte was truley ahead of her time, No Doubt! Her first releases took the hip hop world by storm even men were tying to flow like this woman and keep there composure. She basically just as Rakim, proved that you don't have to jump around and swing your hands at the camera to get your point across. Her first two releases were so futuristic the production was like no other artist! Mixed with heavy electronic drum machine's with sound effects with a Jazzy feel. When I heard Cha Cha Cha and Stop look and Listen, I was mezmerized! But we all have to be honest this last effort that she put out just doesn't work!"Bad as I wanna B" is a far more return to original form than this! Seven, just basically shows that MC Lyte works best with producers that can match her abilies. The production on this album is wack and cheesy and doesn't leave room for her to shine. Lyte is best on midtempo type material, there are acouple of decent songs on here. Over all this album isn't Lyte's signature sound at all. I wish that someone would take an interest in Lyte's career and bring her back just as "LL Cool J" has returned with "10". All it takes is a good producer Lyte is unargueably the best female rapper of our time. Just as Rakim needs a strong production force, she is in the same situation. I certainly Hope "Da Underground Heat Part 1" is a return don't I am affraid it is over!

Once Again, MC Lyte, proves that she ain't no joke, providing some smooth lyrics, and dope beats.

Some people will always make us Nod our Heads to THIS!!!! Lyte is one of them. The respect alone ..... she's is on top again!!!

THIS IS MY FAVORITE MC LYTE CD. IT IS A WIDE RANGE OF DIFFERENT STYLES AND SOUNDS THAT MAKE THIS 21 TRACK CD INTERRESTING AND ENJOYABLE. THE ONLY TRACKS I DID NOT LIKE ARE "TOP BILLIN'"& "BETTER PLACE" BECAUSE OF IT'S SAD STORYLINE. BESIDES THAT THIS CD IS OFF THE HOOK FOR SURE. OVERALL ANOTHER SOLID EFFORT FROM A TOP SHELF RAPSTRESS.

Basically the CD was something that I would bump in the car, there were a few songs that I didn't feel, that's why I gave it a 4 stars, but other than that the CD was hella tyght

Most favourite tune on the album was IT'S ALL YOURS which I'd like to dedicate to ma girl JASVEEN in LUTON, A big shout goin out to the CALIBAR CREW!!!!

Mc Lyte's last album "Bad As I Wanna Be" was awesome(especially with the hidden track "Cold Rock a Party Remix"-could only be on cassette). "Seven & Seven" is just as good and even better in some instances. I really like all the songs on S & S. Get both albums mentioned.
