[@mikedun7]

This song is such a classic to the old skool hip hop rap era. Also one of the first songs considered house music. This was back when the original song by the artist was followed up with a " house mix" version of the song.

[@StraightFashionMan]

Her voice is very unique. When you hear it, you know it's MC Lyte.

Lyte always got viciously lyrical on her 2nd single of her albums. Lyte as a rock n stop look listen she go beastmode on

[@kdgamhc7475]

Lyte as a Rock was the second single? And when was 10% Dis published? I'm a bit confused because I always read that I cram to understand You was the first single and 10% Dis the second (even Shut The Eff Up is the B-side of Lyte as a Rock, which is always considered Lyte's second Dis track)

[@trussdprocess5003]

I agree 1000% but there were a few 7 or 8 really good lyricists of the 90's and early 2000's. I still consider Lyte the female g.o.a.t

She was great no doubt I wouldn't place her as my goat.... I would probably go Roxanne shante, Mia x, queen Latifah, lil Kim, and Mc lyte...... first four can't totally decide on the order other female mcs maybe didn't have enough work material ect like Antoinette, amil, Charlie Baltimore and Ms Melody
