mc lyte

Rap pioneer MC Lyte was honored with the prestigious I Am Hip Hop Award at the 2013 BET Hip-Hop Awards Saturday (Sept. 28) in Atlanta. Rapper Eve was on hand to present the 42-year-old artist her trophy.

The manhunt for ex-LAPD police officer Christopher Dorner has become the center of media attention this week. From the manifesto he penned and the murders he committed to the most recent news that his dead body was found in a burned cabin, the story has brought much attention to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Gotta love MC Lyte! This song is a classic for sure! Our pick for throwback song of the day. The first time I heard this song it made me cry. The power of MC Lyte's storytelling in this song is epic. Enjoy!
