Mc Lyte
 The Very Best of MC Lyte $5.98 If there ever was a female MC who could hang with the big boys of hip hop, MC Lyte is definitely the one!! Even today her songs are still powerful....the messages, her flow, her style....just can't be matched! All of her songs are timeless!! Today's female MC's should take note...sex appeal may get you the sales for now, but 15 years later, will your rhymes be able to capture the heart of the listener the way MC Lyte's does??  Act Like You Know $11.98 One of the first to Rap in Carn. Hall, NYC; truly a verbal gift to "HueWomanity..." Thanks for all the music, it got mi thur the tough times in the 1908's & '90's... Big Fan, period! --"Big Dave" Burleigh, an 'AmeriCanadian' Record Producre/ Artist/ Singer-Songwritre.  Bad as I Wanna B $11.98 MC Lyte's first batch of albums up until "Act Like U Know' were very groundbreaking in terms of female-led hip hop. This album saw a bit of a change in her career and it seems like on 'Bad As I Wanna B' she was trying to re-mould herself into the guise of a sultry and slightly mysterious sexy figure. That's just my opinion. But even though she still shows the ability to rock the mic like a vandal, it's the beats which don't quite measure up on this one. They're a bit too refined and polite compared to the earlier albums which are much more raw and untamed. That said it's still a good album and you can probably play this at a bar-B-Q with your friends and occasionally dance, but if you end up burning the sausages then you should stop hosting that kind of social occasion. Fire is dangerous. |
