Hip Hop Remembrances: MC Lyte

Okay, so technically I was around 20 when MC Lyte came onto the scene, but man did she have an intro to the world with the classic "Paper Thin."



Lyte reminds me of the best aspects of hip hop, before all of the openly violent, homophobic and misogynistic lyrics really took over. Just sit back and enjoy pure talent.

"Lyte as a Rock"


"Cha Cha Cha"

Technically, I was around half your age in the same era, not to mention growing up in the UK, where Lyte never gained much of a foothold. But what I do remember of her helped me enjoy this post greatly

I appreciate your writing and this site. I like to get an insight into other's experiences and perspectives, and yours is a rich one. Thanks for the comment you left me not long ago - it was appreciated

Barima, thank you for that thoughtful comment; i really appreciate it. I've also enjoyed your site as well.

Regarding Lyte, she was just incredible back then, and her music holds up over time. That is always the key.
