For the past few years female rap has been in a state of turmoil as many “femcees” have been dropped by their record labels (Shawnna, Lil’ Mo) or have had to serve prison time (Lil’ Kim, Foxy Brown).  With all these unfortunate circumstances facing Hip Hop’s lead women, it was only fitting that the female rap pioneer, MC Lyte, would return to the music scene.  Beautiful gives Lyte the chance to demonstrate the all-too-underrated aspect of storytelling, revealing the tale of a lonely player (which isn’t necessarily an oxymoron) through a rhyme scheme that more than proves she’s still got “it.”  Now, if only somebody could convince Queen Latifah to do another rap album…

It's not garbage, but I think MC Lyte can just retire for good. She has done absolutely nothing to mature her style to today's standards. She sounds like an old school rapper using new beats. I really don't care what she has to say because the delivery is OLD. Sorry guys!

Blaze, give her a few more tracks in 2007 before you write her off. Some artists have a hard time evolving when they've been gone. She just has to get back on the bike and start really riding again.

This is one of these songs that will never get air time, but when u bump it in your ride it'll turn heads. I personally would try it in one of my underground sets

blaze, i usually like you insight on some of these songs but you have to take in the fact that she did name the album back to lyte/simply hip hop. she's not conforming or at least not yet. but i get what your ultimatly saying too. i feel that way about dmx. even though, i still didn't like this song

This is that 1980s flow that I love! Sounds like a will.i.am production.
