Who still listening in 2024? I am!
These new females rappers are scabs compared to Lyte and Latifa!
Everytime I'm about to go asleep I hear this beat in my head
Yup
🤝
Word up
Not only could you UNDERSTAND every word, she had flow, great narrative, and a comprehensive story that sent a solid message. This is not only hip hop. This is ART AND POETRY at its finest. Love MC LYTE.
The song has substance in 2023 female rappers are sell out Jezebels....
Facts
Agreed
Couldn’t have said it better 💯
Yup. That's what I miss the most. The storytelling, flow along with the beat all working together as a complete whole. I don't like doing the old person era comparison thing but one of the things that bugs me about modern rap/hip hop is the beat does far too much of the heavy lifting.
Her lyrics don't age, they mature like a fine wine. Love Mc Lyte
Say less
@@shymettedavis5524 pardon?
@@bexsy34 real talk
Her Lyrics aged just like her fine as wine
FUCK SAD ENDINGS
FKN 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
2023 live 😂
The 90s were so dope. Im 47 and i feel like the rappers back then were like Angels guiding us and teaching us about life and what was to come
Word up. Miss our era so much
Most rappers were informing everyone how to sell dope and pimp hoes.
VonP@@jerseydan95
This is next level storytelling. Her flow was everything.
Facts 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yes. This and Cappucino. I Cram to Understand you
NBA youngboy ranada
Maaaannn listen!!! Lyte is a Top 5 Emcee...males included!!!
@@soullacy8357 Facts
29 years later and this song is still powerful as it was back then. MC Lyte will always be my favorite.
here we r.....n I need the old sounds ..this music today is horrible
This female is so Raw I'm 50 years old she's the best female hip hop artist I've heard of my life
Mc Lyte is Eazy E
You mean 31yrs later...bc u know time never stops L0L😮
Agreed! No one Flows , or Comprehends the true Art Form of Hip Hop like MC Lyte! 🎤
Listening to this with my 11 y/o daughter. Just allowing her to see that women can make great music without taking off their clothes, not cussing or shaking their behinds all over the place. Thank you Ms. LYTE!!
That voice on MC Lyte still give me chills after all these years later and I'm 53 Year's old.
Word Iz Bond Tha Dopest Joint When It Comes To Having Feelings For SumOneeeee
💯
You’re her age!
@@SyriswhyYouMean What do you mean by that?
My cousin told me that she loved Lyte's voice too
This generation will never understand how DOPE the 90's were. ✌🏾😎
They will, when they will play those tracks.
THAT SONG CAME OUT IN THE LATE 80'S
Facts..
Or late 80s
💯
Music with a message I miss this kind of music
So true
No cursing at all
They don't make music like this anymore they stop making good music in the late 80s early 90s
Yesssss
No doubt not men or women sending this kind of message. I remember this one very good
I love how she got her homies chillin.. all fully dressed no provocative looks, they actually are dressed down and all look beautiful!
They are also the beautiful women in black…
Who’s cutting onions?? 😢😢 still moving thirty plus years later
It does make you emotional…not going to lie about that!!!❤😢
"If you love someone you should say it often, you'll never know when they'll be laying in a coffin".
So THAT'S where E-40 got it from
My favorite line in this song
That hit hard. Just lost a friend yesterday. Smh.
Ok, I love you
Life is short say I L❤VE YOU😊 💋🌺
This song is fucking incredible. MC Lyte is way too underrated.
So Is Toto ....
Exactly
I agree.
Z
The one from Eric Benet is the original though right?
The girls back then had a natural beauty.they didn't have all of that fake hair and nails no plastic surgery.they beautiful in my eyes
Bingo!🗣️💯 I’m like an anomaly in my generation bc I don’t do all that stuff
MC lyte is a poet!!!!
Legend ❤️
FACTS
Legendary!
His name is George…. We called him G.O. He died in a car crash in 1993… 2 weeks before our wedding! It took me years to be able to listen to this song again! RIP My Love💔#MyGeorgiPorgi
Sorry for your lost
Sorry for your loss
Celebrate celebrate he wants you to dance he wants you to smile he's in a better place with angels surrounded with gold one day we are going to end up there we do right celebrate
OMG
I’m so terribly sorry for your loss
Here in 2020 hit like!
Ayeeeee I can't forget 👑💯👍🌏💨🌿
Heard her on 99.1, recently.
I’m here loved my lyte
Yassssss 😜😜😜
2021 👍
This beat is immaculate 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 bring back the remix era
The best was by a group called Toto, titled Georgie Porgy. It featured vocals by Steve Lukather & background vocals by Cheryl Lynn recorded around 1978-79.
No one is promised tomorrow she was a truly talented lyrist and excellent story teller....better than majority of modern day musicians by far!
Exactly Thank You
She was ahead of her time, and always on point
not ahead, back then was the time! Nowdays "rap" is full of "artists" servants of war provoking, "it is good for economy", colonizing, redneck grasshoppers. Fight the power! ...and not just in rap, we got to burn down the Babylon, revolution is coming!
Yeah
Y’all lil girls need to start saying something
Fact's!
I love her because she didn't have to show her behind like women in the industry today. She had words to say and records they could play everyday.
MC Lyte is one of the best female rappers ever.
"The" best.
The "BEST" ever
When female rappers were rappers kept it hood,gangsta.. Not prostitudes or strippers..
Classic
Mc Lyte is the best female rapper ever
One of my favorite songs by Lyte
One of my favorite hip hop songs of all. Lyte kicked those songs that the average person can relate to.
Where did you get the TV on the tree from?
The storytelling was just so good. I really appreciate all the rappers from back in the day. I honestly wish I was born during this time period. This is real real hip-hop although I’m young, I’m glad I’m still able to listen to the foundation of this genre of music. Today’s rappers don’t even come close.
This beat got a cold ass breakdown and mc lyte voice killed it
TUSHAY!!
DJ really did a great job here.
Georgie Porgie by Africa, mixed with Michael Jackson's Where I wanna be
This whole beat was a sample from a 70's white rock group.. Toto..
When rap was about life...
MC Lyte is the number one female rapper of all time.
I agree
Without a doubt
Lauryn Hill is.....The GOAT
I see her more as a singer than a rappers.
100%
The *90s* was truly the highlight of hip hop's creativity...which is why my own music is inspired by it entirely🎶🎧🎤
She was Badass back in the day.
Especially her lyrics like this.."Funky fresh dressed to impress,ready to party".
Amazing M.C. Lyte
We got notice this shit....
Little known fact : LL Cool J co wrote her verse on the Self Destruction song because Russell Simmons did not want him to participate on the song ...Public Enemy ignored him and and did it anyway!
SELF DESTRUCTION....... This song was about Georgies Self Destruction. Wow. KRS 1 put her on. This is still lit.
I THINK 🤔 SHE STILL IS BAD ASS. CHILD HOOD MEMORIES BRINGS BACK GOOD TIME'S I WAS 20 LIVING IN PATERSON NJ AWESOM
Golden age of hip hop.
This shyt still hit in 2023 !!!
Was just playing this song earlier. Never gets old. I still remember discovering this song when she performed on In Living Color many years ago
We use to jam at the house partys red light only who know what I'm talking bout lol Go MC Lyte
Oh l forgot to mention no shootings just card board box break dancing if u had a beef and u lived to tell the story here kam 56 yes old talk to me old school
Check out the song it's sampling. It's called Jorgie Porgy by Toto featuring Cheryl Lynn
Looks like Lauryn Hill at 0:34
Hand clap for the original queen of rap MC LYTE, who looks even prettier 30 years later! 👏👏👏👏
@Extinguish Idiot's no man Lyte took shit to another level her flow still solid
Q.U.E.E.N = U.N.I.T.Y
MC Lyte's dopest song. I cannot believe that's Lauryn Hill as one of the extra girls there too! 2 Legends!
+Ocean Sage yeh i just seen that, go Lauryn!!
Why?
Everyone gets a start somewhere.
Like these with the coke commercial and J Lo in Janet Jackson video.
Ocean Sage
YEP!!!
I never thought she was on this.
Yup sure is I thought I was the only one saw that plus the kiss
This song has way more to say than 100% of the songs on the radio today in 2022.
Yes 😢
I still play this song In 2022. When I do play it I usually end up listening to it several time! I love it.So powerful!
Same... I have it on repeat RIGHT now.
Me too!!!
It’s 2023 now still listening
Same here !!!
ONE OF THE BEST STORY RAPS OF ALL TIME !!!
MC lyte had that rough edge with beauty .
This is back when natural beauty was in.
What about Nicki and cardi
@@brandynbeverly9401 who?
@@LoKnowsBoxing it's slowly returning too. Starting to see Sistas rock braids, across and locs
No doubt
When you say "Timeless Classics" = MC Lyte
When you say "Poignant Lyrics" = MC Lyte
When you say "All-Time Greatest MC's/Lyrist" = MC Lyte
When you say "Under-appreciated/Underrated" = MC Lyte
Poor Georgie along with MC Lyte's "Better Place," are on par with Tupac's "Dear Mama," "I ain't mad at Cha," and "Brenda's got a baby,"...powerful words and songs that resonate and evoke sentimentalities with virtually anyone from any part of the world.
Miss...this era so much!! The golden era of Hip-Hop at it's Peak!!!
30 yrs later and still a great! Underrated song!
Yesssss
This song is still 1 of my favorite MC Lyte Joints til this day Her Art Of Storytelling was entertaining at the same time giving a message that still is relevant for today
her delivery is perfect on this song
I feel you 💯
I'm retired DJ Lady Soul McLyte helped me rocked the house in the 80s .She was bad .And RoxxAnn .
@@deloresholley9348 these kids today have no idea.
Positive hip-hop so refreshing!
For those who don’t know, the sample used here is “Georgy Porgy” performed by Toto. The live in Paris ‘93 version is by far one of the best concert performances in history. Those dudes rock out! Much love to all people out there making music. Much love to humans. Regardless of skin shade or language spoken. A C-Major or Minor is the same no matter! ❤️❤️👍✌️
This is my first time hearing this song however.
The best female rapper of all time!!!
Thanks! Someone on this thread knows the origins of this track.
Well they got it from Barry White with his orchestra
Toto featuring Cheryl Lynn from 1978..
Plus there is a Jackson 5 sample- " I Wanna Be Where You Are"
Wow, so FREAKIN CLASSIC! Back then it was a lot of storytelling in rap. Notice you could understand every word she was saying, no cursing and the song had a message. Lyte was a pioneer! A BEAST! The 90's was a special time in hip-hop.
Yes
The sad part is the young women paved away for females to be respected thru their words an you could still bounce to the beat. Then later on down the road grabbing coochies, calling themselves bitches, an no you can say that kind of female wouldn't have made it today. I still love to hear me some Brat, Missy, Queen an the list go on, Smh 🤦🏽♀️ but thankful we was blessed to be apart of it. Look how lady like an successful most of them if not all have become they stepped in up knocked it out the Field 🎵🙏🏽😇
Very Special...🙏
Sorry but gotta throw sum love to my Queen Bee too Lil Kim....the original bad gurl💯
@@Paula-nt2uc true, Kim was ALL THAT! But The OG Lyte paved the way for Kim.
I've heard 2 cusswords in the song.
She's so damn pretty and still I love her
MC Lyte is beautiful. She really is. Love her voice, & damn I haven't seen this video in a long time. Bout to watch it now. Lol
+Lela P LELA P YOUR PRETTY ALSO I LOVE YOU CALIFORNIA GIRL LOL LOL HI.
Check is out on UA-cam like all rap like all old school rap like all hip-hop like all 90s💯
That beat tho🔥🔥 The story telling 🔥🔥 Her voice 🥴❤❤
Who the hell can make
“Oooh and Um” sound fly?
Alway been my favorite female MC
Love the Lauryn Hill cameo! Lyte is hands down one of the BEST female rappers EVER!
wasn't a cameo, she was an extra.
I knew I recognized her!
I thought I was bugging that is her 😮
Ladybug Mecca from Digable Planets too, no?
This was way before the Fugees came out.
I swear all black women are beautiful, but MC Lyte was on another level. I'm still head over heels for her.
Genuinely good looking - unlike these fat assed fake bitches rampant throughout pop music nowadays
1/2SharkAlligator1/2Man McLyte my girl, then and now, top 3 three rapper's of all time, just beautiful 😇
Miss this kind of rap music
Yeah man....!
facts
1/2SharkAlligator1/2Man. FACTS!
Hip Hop at its finest!!! I was in High School at the time! Fly MC Lyte is slamming!!!
Right 👍
This song stuck in time.💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
MC Lyte is not only the greatest female MC of all time, but she is also better than most males!
Back when music had a story behind it. Her voice was always dope.
The queen of hip hop
Her flow, the beat, the sample. Absolute perfection. MC Lyte is the queen of Hip Hop. STILL bumpin this track in 23!
I heard "Georgie Porgy" decades after hearing this, and I have to say Lyte did the sample justice.
The song is genuine. We need more like this these days.
One problem gangsta rap has killed everything that was positive like this cut.
It's good to look back at these type of jams. Detailed lyrics, women dressed and classy. Love it
The 80s was one of the best times for music 🎶 I'm so glad I got to be there.
This came out in 91.
This came out in the early 90s but yea the 80s was poppin too
This hot beat is still going strong in Japan in 2024!
She is a better m.c than 97% of the male rappers today
Facts
Truth! Cats nowadays are straight embarrassing!
@Yo-saiFF CaleB - you mean better than 100% of the rappers today.

Here in 2020 , stumbled across this shit and almost shed a tear😑💯🎬
Ikr
Now you know why old cats like me cannot stand this new "mumble" bull...
Same man just played gta 4 for the first time a week ago and the in game radio classic introduced me to cha cha cha. I was hooked ever since and now I discovering more great songs by her.
@@thebeaver8456 Her & Missy Elliot made a banger together too...
@@danielwatts9803 thanks I'll have to check it out.
0:11 LAURYN 🥺🥰
The 80s music had everything.
It’s the flow for me. ❤️ McLyte fly as hell.
better jump trees
Damn....I felt her pain talking about Georgie dying.
The last lines said a lot 👀 thanks MC Lyte❤️
Still listening to this in 2024 and just notice a 16 yr old Lauryn Hill in the video....
Cameo game gold 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cynthia Bailey was in here too
Thumbs up if you are still listening in 2019! Just as hot as it was when it came out in 1991!
🔥🔥🗽🗽🔥🔥
Done
Yes!!!
Damn this hit iz still a banger!!!!!!
Message is stronger than ever
She still looks good till this day
Тьфу, убого
love when songs have storylines
I miss the 90's😩
This was track 6 and the 2nd single from MC Lyte's 3rd album "Act Like You Know" and was the 2nd song I learned by this super cool rapper. This is a real 1991 party song right here.
One of the greatest storytellers to ever touch the mic!! #hiphopliveson
"George was mature, he made sure, that he was the only man I'd ever adore" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ugggghhh my heart can't take it!!!!
It's important that you know that no one on earth is promised tomorrow
This song is so amazing for so many reasons. Obviously the use of the original song’s meaning. The two depictions of a man; the player everyone feels as though they know and the man that has just as many issues as anyone else. Maybe even more. The story telling of this record always makes me second guess my writing skills. Breaking down multiple perspectives as well as maintaining her own. Topics that people still discuss today.The beat itself tells the same story with the ins and outs/samples. Captivating if you claim a love for story telling. More importantly creativity. This one record alone puts MC Lyte in my top 3 rappers male or female of all time. Much Love ❤️
MC Lyte is one of the greatest female rappers. One of my coming of age artists. I loved their fashion back then. It was all about what they sang not what they wore
I’m glad I came up on great music like this. The samples in this song are RIDICULOUS, and the video is extra dope. Even the dancers was on point.
One of the biggest reasons i love golden age hip hop is learning the sampled songs and being exposed to new music…
Ice Spice texting while Mc Lyte was performing at the BET awards was a slap in the face to hip hop
Lyte and Queen Latifah, were the best Black Beautiful Women Rappers...EVER!!!
Fo sho!
What about Roxanne?
Now THIS is hip hop. Thank u LYTE.
I'm still in love with MC Lyte
its so sad female rappers today cant do what Lyte, Latifah, Moni, Antionette did back then
I can watch this a thousand times and it wont get old ! Still listening in 2019. #classic
Same here
Big Facts. I use to love her
That's right.
2021
Probably on my 5th turn listening right now, this morning.
*When we were kids. "Our parents just* *don't understand this music"*
*Now as parents. "Kids just don't* *understand this music"*
*The Absolute Irony😂*
Good One!
@meat hammer this went completely ova yo head
That's just how the world is everything has its generation
I can't understand this new Music Today!
And our kids r telling us that we don't understand their music, their right, I don't
That cadence and flow & storytelling!
Another Legendary song not played today
I still play it
MC Lyte killed it on this one! plus the beat is dope af!
#NuffRespect #AnotherDeeJayDocJoint
I really miss the 80s and 90s hip hop 🎤🎧 🎶🔉🔊🔥
It’s sad that even 30 years later people still don’t listen to the deep message this song offers to teach
MC Lyte is a legend 🙌
Lyte comes harder then most men in 2020...
I still know every word I gotta play this again n again n again!! Real music right here!! Next up “Ruffneck”🥳
This Song Is Very Touching Alot Of People Really Don't Listen To The Value Of Music I Love Good Music And This Will Always Be One Of Greatest Of All Times 💯 Love You Lyte 👑💪🏽💜🤞🏽
She is raw.l wish I could turn back time and music was like it was back then. The 80s and 90s hip hip music is the best ever made.
I was born in 1973.
This is the music I vibe to.
Best female MC in Hip-Hop history
Yupp!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔊🕪
Oh yeah
I say Queen latifah
@@Adam-hf7wh Lauryn Hill probably has some of the best verses and technique than any other female rapper before she started singing.
