MC Lyte - "Cha Cha Cha"

Forget Queen Latifah. Forget Lauryn Hill. Forget even Roxanne Shante. In her prime, MC Lyte is the greatest female MC that ever lived, and there is no better showcase of her destructive battle rhymes than "Cha Cha Cha" from 1989, a rude little battle rap with a great bassline that clocks in at under under 3 mins.



You can cha-cha-cha to this Mardi Gras
I'm the dopest female that you've heard thus far
And I do get better, the voice gets wetter
Nobody gets hurt (As long as you let her)
Do my thing with an '89 swing
The dopeness I write, a guaranteed delight
To the hip hop maniac, the uptown braniac
In full effect MC Lyte is back
