Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs. Buy the album Starting at $12.99. Rhino's 2001 collection The Very Best of MC Lyte is an excellent summary of MC Lyte's recordings for Atlantic records. The collection balances her career quite nimbly, with four tracks from her 1988 debut Lyte As a Rock, five from 1989's Eyes on This, three from 1991's Act Like You Know, two from Ain't No Other, and one from Bad As I Wanna B, with her guest appearance on Foster/McElroy's "Dr. Soul," and the Bad Boy remix "Cold Rock a Party" rounding out the compilation for good measure. The decreasing returns from each subsequent album signals that MC Lyte's material did dip as the '90s wore on, but this does contain credible highlights from those records, while her hardcore golden-age recordings -- "10% Dis," "I Cram to Understand U," "Kickin' 4 Brooklyn," "Cha Cha Cha," "I Am the Lyte," "Shut the Eff Up! (Hoe)" -- still stand as fresh, powerful hip-hop. The first two records still hold their own, but this is a very good sampler and introduction in its own right. © Stephen Thomas Erlewine /TiVo. Click Here to Book or Contact MC Lyte. Legendary lyricist, DJ, voice over talent, actress, entertainer and icon , MC Lyte is still making the crowds move across the globe. MC Lyte first appeared on the scene in 1988 with her debut album Lyte As A Rock. At the tender age of 17 she began schooling other MCs in the art of rhyme, and since that time she has proven that greatness always prevails with a total of ten albums (9 plus a “GREATEST HITS”) to her credit. Lyte is the FIRST rap artist ever to perform at New York’s historic Carnegie Hall and the FIRST female rapper to ever receive a gold single. MC LYTE’s inspiring 1993 classic anthem, “Ruffneck,” was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rap Single. In fact, she was the FIRST female solo rapper ever nominated for a Grammy! Ten years later her 2003 album “Undaground Heat vol.1” hosted by Jamie Foxx, garnered this rap legend her second career Grammy nomination. It was released on her own label SGI/CMM. The single “Ride Wit Me” also received a BET Award nomination for Best Female Rap Performance. In 2006, MC Lyte became the first solo female rapper to be honored/inducted on VH-1’s HIPHOP HONORS. Lyte serves as a beautiful example that females can rock the mic just as good and oftentimes even better than men. Lyte’s lyrical skills have also been tapped into by Hollywood. She co-wrote and performed the television theme songs for Fox’s “Dark Angel” and BET’s “Holla.” Her last music offering, LEGEND, was released for one day in VINYL format with a digital download. ACTING. It’s only natural that a woman who has mastered the studio and the stage take her incredible presence to the world of television and film. MC Lyte became a favorite on UPN’s primetime hit sitcom “Half & Half” as Kai, a hard but fair record company president. She even served as a recurring celebrity judge on CBS’ “Star Search” with Arsenio Hall. Her other credits include Lana, a recurring character on the WB’s long running comedy “For Your Love”. Lyte can also dish up the drama as evidenced in her roles on CBS’, “The District” and FOX’s “Get Real” series. She also had appearances on UPN’s “Platinum” and “In the House,” Nickelodeon’s “Cousin Skeeter” and MTV’s “DNC.” In 2006, she joined the world of reality TV and served as mentor to Shar Jackson, the winner of the MTV reality series “Celebrity Rap Superstar.” In the world of film, Lyte co-starred in Playa’s Ball, which tells the story of the NBA’s newest rookie whose life is turned upside by a paternity suit and rape charge. Lyte shows what’s really going down in an all female prison in the Trimark/Lions Gate’s feature release, Civil Brand. Other big screen roles include Extreme Pictures’ Train Ride,Cinergi Pictures’ Burn Hollywood Burn, Warner Brother’s Fly By Night and the independent features, Luv Tails and Short Handed. VOICEOVER & RADIO. With her signature style and recognizable voice, it only makes sense that Lyte would be tapped for national voiceover campaigns. She recorded a campaign for Nissan, NBA Liberty, BET Networks, McDonald’s, AT&T and more. She has also been the voice behind the VH1 HipHop Honors and national campaigns for Wherehouse Music, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Nike. She assisted Mattel by lending her pipes to the overwhelmingly popular Mattel Diva Stars “Chat Doll”—Tia. Lyte’s sultry sound can further be heard while she hosts her own weekend radio show on Sirius Satellite Radio. She is also a featured guest of fellow Hip Hop veteran Kool Moe Dee’s Internet series “Spitfire.” This incredibly talented woman has been in the game for over two decades and she shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Many artists have come and gone, but MC Lyte still remains shining brighter than ever . MC LYTE is UNSTOPPABLE! DJ MC LYTE. A lover of a wide variety of music types, MC Lyte spins on the one’s and two’s and rocks crowds of all backgrounds and genres. She is known for shutting down parties with crowds of people, young and old, ranting for more: “MC Lyte . MC Lyte . MC Lyte!” She DJ’s at corporate functions, reunions, college parties, weddings, birthday parties, nationally known political, social, and educational functions, conferences, and international venues.

    HUMMINGBIRD’S GAZE Seth Heim Prof. Perritt: Law of Nation-Building Seminar Spring 2014 "Since the revolution, every average Libyan hoped things would get better, but instead everything is worse," Mr. Jathran said, in his sleek, leather-chair- lined conference room in Ajdabiya's only hotel, where he served his guests cappuccinos. "We are sliding to a place like Afghanistan or Somalia," he said.1 I “I don’t know, Hamoud. Have you asked mother about this?” “Of course not. I know she’d forbid it. Probably send me down south to work on a dirt farm or hawk rugs to tourists near the border. After she’s chased me down the street, screaming to father’s ghost about how terrible I am.” “Ha, yeah, well,… she’s got a point.” Idriss’ voice over the phone was coming from behind a smile his brother could almost see, but suggestive with warning. “This is serious stuff. You know that, right? Hamoud, these defense forces aren’t a club. It’s no joke. These guys carry guns. Are you really ready to shoot someone? Over oil? Over tribal pride?” The phone conversation wasn’t going as Hamoud hoped it would. He hadn’t spoken to his brother Idriss in over a month, and only a few times this year. At 21, Idriss was nearly five years older than Hamoud, but much had happened in the past three years that made the age gap a chasm. Idriss fought in the partisan militia along with their tribe, and along with their father, to push Qadhaffi’s soldiers out of Ajdabiyah when the revolution swept across northeastern Libya in 2011.

  • Black Women Queering the Mic: Missy Elliott Disturbing the Boundaries of Racialized Sexuality and Gender
    Journal of Homosexuality, 58:775–792, 2011 Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN: 0091-8369 print/1540-3602 online DOI: 10.1080/00918369.2011.581921 Black Women Queering the Mic: Missy Elliott Disturbing the Boundaries of Racialized Sexuality and Gender NIKKI LANE, PhD Candidate Department of Anthropology, American University, Washington, DC, USA Though there were and always have been djs, dancers, graffiti artists, and rappers who were Black women, they are placed on the periphery of hip-hop culture; their voices, along with “gay rap- pers” and “white rappers” devalued and their contribution to the global rise of hip-hop either forgotten or eschewed. This article is an attempt to articulate the existence of Black women who work outside of the paradigms of the “silence, secrecy, and a partially self-chosen invisibility” that Evelynn Hammonds describes. At the center of this article lies an attempt to locate a new configura- tion and expression of desire and sexuality, opening a door, wide open, to gain a different view of Black women, their sexuality, their expression of it, and the complexities that arise when they attempt to express it in hip hop nation language. KEYWORDS Black women, hip-hop, linguistic anthropology, queer, rap INTRODUCTION Cecilia Cutler (2003) writes that “there is a powerful discourse within hip-hop that privileges the black body and the black urban street experi- ence” (p. 212). What is important to understand, however, is that there is a particular gendered Black body that is privileged in hip hop. The body is of the urban Black heterosexual male, and his set of experiences shape not only the discourse, but also the language of hip hop itself.

In the past, major technological change and major shifts in the way copyrightable works were used have rightly led to major changes in the law. The invention of the printing press prompted the first codification of copyright. The popularity of the player piano contributed to a reevaluation of how musical works should be protected.2 The dawn of the computer age led to an explicit expansion of copyrightable subject matter to include computer programs.3 These are but a few examples of past inflection points; the current one demands a similar level of change.
