 MC Lyte

What can be said is that CD shows that MC Lyte has always brought the hot shit, handing out sharp asswhoppinz back when Jigga was still singing about Hawaii.
For instance, unlike today's female MCs who stick with one or two producers, Lyte brings 11 producers to the table, from Grand Puba to Puffy, and shows that she can flow over virtually any beat.
However, that still leaves 13 tracks of hot shit, not to mention "Cold Rock A Party (Bad Boy Remix)," one of the first cuts with Missy and her "Hee hee hee hee hoooow." The collabo is the last song on the CD, as if MC Lyte is passing the torch to the young bucks.

She works her cell like a mic, getting her point across: MC Lyte, the original, the prototype, the first fl woman to invade the hip-hop spotlight and lay down rhymes as hard and fast as anyone before or since, is back.
By the time she put out Lyte as a Rock (1988) and Eyes on This (1989) everyone who cared about telling the truth was looking up to her as she tore down dope dealers, hustlers, and thugs.
She and Foxx pull down the shades and kindle some sultry heat on "Where Home Is." On "U Got It" the vibe is raw and physical -- with a punch-line moral at the end that slaps reality back into the picture.

How in god's holy name can this be called a greatest hits, without Lyte as a rock.
I'm usually indifferent about the artist, but Lyte brings so much of her personality into the music (at least what I believe is her personality).
But going back to the album, although "Stop, Look, Listen" takes me back in the days of daycamp when I performed this in a dance contest, no song gets me more hype than "Cha Cha Cha." That song is what I play when I'm getting ready to work out.
