Yeah that is my joint and I love the beat and also Mc Lyte's rappin too. She is still one of my fav female MCs among with Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott, Roxanne Shante, Da Brat, and yes Sequence.

in full effect MC Lyte is back
& better than before as if that was possible
my competition you'll find them in the hospital
visiting time I think it's on a Sunday
but notice they only get one day to shine, the rest of the week is mine
& I'll blind you with the science that the others have yet to find
so come along & I'll lead you the right way
just clap your hands to the words I say, come on
kick!

aww shit ya'll got me singing this out loud!

I used to wear that similar hairstyle that MC Lyte wore and so did a lot of girls I knew.

And also that 1988 rap started to take storm too and also 1989 rap too with this song made among others.

Classic. Lyte was, and remains, the sh*t.

kick this one here for me and my deejay...

They are cool too it just that I mention the name aboves because I am more familar with their work.

How about the late MC Trouble remember her? It is sad that she died so soon.

and Oaktown 357?

Mc Lyte was the bomb back in the day . She held it down 4 all the ladies-love her.

I remember MC Trouble...she was NICE!!!! definitely help put Cali/West Coast females on the map...I remember reading that MC Lyte wrote the eulogy for her funeral...they printed it in Blackbeat back then when she passed...I think the female talent in rap is far more better then it is today...with the excpetion of a few unsung ladies(Jean Grae,Bahamadia,Heather B.,Rah-Digga,Medusa,The Lady of Rage,Nikki Strong,Anomolies etc...)

and Monie Love and Ice Cream Tee

OMG, where's Violet when you need her?

This song was THE CUT! That bassline! Remember her dis war with Antoinette? Whatever happened to Antoinette?! I know she had a couple CD's. The shit between her and Lyte was hilarious. As well as Lyte's dis to Shante, "Steady Fuckin."

yeah i loved lyte as a rock..thats a classic oxymoronic line that will forever be credited to mc lyte

who remembers her 'brother' mc milk d from the audio 2??..i LOVED their whole cd-its now on my ipod she appeared in their 1st video 'top billin'

[note to self: sleep deprivation whilst making org posts is wack.]

Love Mc Lyte .

Sugga & Spice are very hard to come across...I was able to get "Thats Funky" and the "Yes we can can(remix)" from a new found chat buddy of mine who is into female MC's the way I am...

To this day, MC Lyte is the greatest female MC alive, in my opinion. Funny story, my mom saw my tape of hers, and asked me "Guinn, who's McLyte?" Like she was a fucking Happy Meal.

You know the beat...

It was a cafe on the westside midtown
Said they had the best capa capa cino around
so i went in and i ordered a cup
someone grabbed me by the throat and said shut the fuck up!
so i did pronto quick fast
how much longer would the torture last?
in the wrong place at the wrong time
it was a drug sale
i could feel it behind
death, it was getting closer
right behind my back ready to attack
i got shot in a shootout and then i died
i could feel it i was on the other side
in between lives i'm so confused
what should i do oh what should i do?
But was it really time for me to go?
Why, oh why did I need cappucino?
Why, oh why?
Why, oh why did I need cappucino?
Why, oh why?
Why, oh why did I need cappucino?
Why, oh why did I need cappucino?
But then I calmed down, I spotted some friends
That I knew in a past life, way back when
A couple had died in a drug world
And this one guy died fightin over his girl
Another died drivin while intoxicated
Why do people make livin so complicated?
But then I saw a girl, her name was Mary
Introduced to drugs by her boyfriend Harry
He sold crack to the kids on the uptown corners
A social worker named Hannah Smith tried to warn her
But she wouldn't listen, no one listens
I saw the light, I awakened, it was a dream
Man oh man, you shoulda heard me scream
So glad to be given - my life back
So good to be livin - or is dead better?
I didn't have to run from the bullets or drugs
And I didn't have to run from the murderers or thugs
I didn't have to worry about fallin from a plane
But at this cafe was death still callin my name?
Or did this cafe even exist?
And was my name just another on the death list?
I knew it couldn't happen, even though
On the bottom of my shirt was a spot of cappucino...
Cappucino
Cappucino
Bust it, to some of you that really don't know
I break it down to you, the word 'cappucino'
It's somewhat like coffee, then again not quite
It's creamy and smooth, and it goes down light
They charge you 3 dollars, you ask is it worth it?
But when you start drinkin... shit, it'd be workin
I'm hooked, well, I was, cause, yo, it's the best
But if everytime I drink I voyage through death
I leave it alone and just stick to tea
Cappucino was fly, but too fly for me

Man, does anybody have a link for the video for "Cappacino"?...did she do one?

Ha-ha. I fully agree. MC Lyte is the greatest. The only female MC that could touch Lyte was a one-hit wonder called Heather B. I don't know - I kinda think "All Glocks Down" might be the greatest hip-hop record ever made by a female.

oh how can I forget heather b? that is my girl and I love her song all glocks down and also I enjoyed seeing her on the first season of real world?
i wondered what she is up to nowadays?
