MC Lyte

In rap beef, rappers like to get brutal with their lyrics.

50 Cent, Wiz Khalifa, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Fetty Wap, Timbaland, Kid Cudi, B.o.B, Kendrick Lamar and more.

So image your and artist and you get that call that MC Lyte wants to work with you, but then you get a paper check that bounces for your services. Via: TMZ: .... Christopher Smith claims he was hired as an artist, animator/writer on a project for MC Lyte’s entertainment management and production firm, Sunni Gyrl, but he says he was never paid for his 1,228 hours on the job...

Rap's biggest battles.

From LL Cool J to MC Lyte, here are some of the worst Rock & Roll Hall of Fame hip-hop snubs.

MC Lyte establishes herself as a premier emcee, Scarface releases a slept-on banger, VH1 pays proper homage to hip-hop, and Black Thought is born.

Undone by internal strife, creative differences, and inner demons, Run-DMC's final album never had a chance to succeed.

On Sept. 17, Mariah Carey stunned once again with her vocal range, MC Lyte went in a new direction and Jay-Z tops the soundtrack for a Martin Lawrence comedy.

'I'mma let you finish..."

These all-female posse tracks help shape the hip-hop movement in the 1990s and beyond.

These classics are the perfect jams for your summer luvin'.

MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, and Salt-N-Pepa are rarely discussed regarding pioneers in hip-hop. While many women have come after them, these three hip-hop acts laid the foundation for the women in rap today to fly.
