Birth name: Lana Michele Moorer. Born: on October 11, 1970 in Brooklyn, New York, USA. She released her first single, "I Cram to Understand U (Sam)," which dealt with a lying boyfriend’s crack addiction, before signing a contract with First Priority. Her debut album, Lyte As a Rock, was released in 1988, featuring the previous single and "10% Dis," which targeted her former microphone rival Antoinnette. This was followed by the releases Eyes on This in 1989 (including "Cappucino"). Both her "Lyte As A Rock" & "Eyes On This" are considered her classics, especially the latter.[citation needed] It spawned the album's first single 'Cha Cha Cha', which peaked at #1 on the rap charts. Also featured 'Cappucino' which is a metaphysical story weaved around a bad cappuccino experience. The 'Cappucino' video was directed by Ric Menello, who also helmed the Beastie Boys' "Fight for Your Right to Party." In February of 2006, her diary was donated to the Smithsonian Institution, as well as a turntable, vinyl records and other memorabilia from her fellow hip-hop pioneers, for a collection that will trace the history of the Bronx-born music genre. In October of 2006, MC Lyte was one of the honored hip hop artists on the VH1's annual award show Hip Hop Honors. She was joined by fellow female emcee's Da Brat, Remy Ma, and Lil' Kim as they performed some of her tracks, "Cha Cha Cha," "Lyte As A Rock," "Paper Thin" and "Ruffneck". |
