[@OgDj2024]

The lady that needs no introduction, the original queen of hip-hop, MC LYTE!

[@pecanchocolatedeluxe]

Back when female rappers were fully clothed and were still successful.

[@perc30julio12]

Umm lil kim, foxy brown????

[@JasTheKariol]

@@perc30julio12 yes, it's not about era, it's about stance.

[@DC_R]

@@perc30julio12 Fully Clothed....... All The Time.......Big Difference

[@Starkardur]

Female rappers were always fully clothed until Foxy and Lil Kim. Wearing provocative clothes while rapping was considered revolutionary contrary to what people nowadays think. LOL.

[@DC_R]

@@Starkardur Exactly, that was the true nature of why rap was invented. To uprise against our oppressors.

[@slikdarelic]

the art of story tellin! one facet of Hip Hop thats missin these days.. :-/

[@sherondariley4224]

Right hip hop is shit now

[@jimlewis7200]

People learn english from this, she speak so clearly, rap english at its best.now i dont know what language they speaking

[@akis3556]

[@delerocky]

Mc Lyte was the opening act on Janet Jackson's 1994 tour! She performed this song and put on a great show!

[@tryork3898]

Michelle Ross 💯

[@chiraqanddetroitqueen2389]

Definitely

[@citizencrichton4142]

MC LYTE the pioneer of female rap the Queen despite her beauty she did not lean on her looks or use her body to sell sound. In fact she underplayed her beauty, without hiding it, because she was so determined to be respected as an artist and a person. Most male emcees back then n still now were 2 scared to battle her cause of her intelligence in lyrical skills, poise and flow. This was the era where HipHop music made u think and educated the mind which is the reason why HipHop started . The era of conscious, creative, compassionate and intelligent artist.

[@redvlandro]

She was no pioneer. You gotta listen to Roxanne Shante

[@youngblackking3255]

This girl knew she was good. Mc Lyte was full of confidence.

[@BetilyIT]

She's the BADDEST Female MC EVER! AND STILL KEEPS IT CLASSY

[@thurgooddukes7381]

This was my Era of hip hop!! I'm a jazz fan nowadays, seems like all the fun is gone out of hip hop music but this Era of hip hop will live forever!

[@91Definite]

It might be? But think about it…Shit like this happens everyday to men that live the fast life. Especially if they ain’t bad guys 😔

[@cemartin]

She did not need to use her beauty as selling point. Just her skills were enough for her success. She's a real role model. 🧡

[@socal1982]

Is she lyp-syncing here? I doubt it. She sounds so damn perfect, without missing a single beat!

[@djfobtronics]

Nopes, listen to the original, a few differences in the vocal nuances. You're right though. Pretty near perfect.

[@socal1982]

Oh, I have heard the studio-version of this song, and I am so impressed, because she sounds almost the same. She didn't screw up at all. I think I like this version better than the original.

[@djfobtronics]

socal1982 Agreed, looks like she really give it her full emotional committment. Love it.

[@socal1982]

djfobtronics Yeah, a lot of times, music artists half-ass their live performances, but she actually made an effort.

[@tryork3898]

I was just thinking the same thing! Sounds too crisp but I do not think she is

[@3POnTheSea]

lmao at 2:00 security was like "im too cool to feel this beat"
