Classic... you dont see a bunch of nobody's on stage with her, no hypeman, her vocals clear as anything today live- plus she is fully clothed... and to add to it she was lyrical af.. much love lyte!!!
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.
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.
Nah this song is reality..In other words Lyte letting us know if you love someone or people tell em show them because that Jet Plane otw to get our souls one by one .If you don't know about Jet Plane Type in Johnny Guitar Watson Jet Plane he explains it very swell..Rest in Peace Johnny can't say Johnny without the Guitar
I remember watching this live as a kid. Not knowing I was listening to hiphop at its purest form. Poor hiphop...R.I.P. Thank you for the memories and forever in my heart until and after my last breath
Same and I did too, did you see or still have that episode of sammy davis playing Maxwell dancing on the ceiling ? lol Ive been looking, but haven't found it yet.
I remember watching this Sunday night and having to explain who MC Lyte was to mybparents and how HUGE it was to see MC Lyte rap on In Living Color which was the BEST show on TV. 1989-1992 were the best years....
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.
"MC Lyte/Yeah!/She can win rhyme fight!" Chuck D,"Buck Whylin'" One of best story tellers in the history of rap,male or female. Right up there with Spoonie G,Slick Rick,Kool G Rap,Masta Ace and Scarface.

Lyte was a problem.

She's not singing, I don't know why that's surprising

Yep.. very close..
Mc Lyte was the opening act on Janet Jackson's 1994 tour! She performed this song and put on a great show!
the art of story tellin! one facet of Hip Hop thats missin these days.. :-/
Right hip hop is shit now
People learn english from this, she speak so clearly, rap english at its best.now i dont know what language they speaking
That and talent.

Her style was everything
Is she lyp-syncing here? I doubt it. She sounds so damn perfect, without missing a single beat!
Nopes, listen to the original, a few differences in the vocal nuances. You're right though. Pretty near perfect.
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.
socal1982 Agreed, looks like she really give it her full emotional committment. Love it.
djfobtronics Yeah, a lot of times, music artists half-ass their live performances, but she actually made an effort.
I was just thinking the same thing! Sounds too crisp but I do not think she is
