Talk:MC Lyte

Cleanup

There are too many opinions in this article, as well as disparaging comments made toward other musicians and their fans. Plus, the language is a little harsh and could be considered offensive needlessly. Only the facts should remain in the article, and the language should be cleaned up a bit.

Should've signed it a long time ago, but I guess it's better late than never.

NPOV

She was the first female rapper commonly acknowledged to be as hard as the men: she loves to curse, and she's got that fierce working-class Brooklyn voice and no-nonsense demeanor. But she's also written some of the most fearlessly honest and introspective lyrics in modern music. - Personal opinions have no place at Wikipedia. MagentaThompson 18:18, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Numbers vandal

Someone may want to check on this edit:[1]. There is an editor at that IP address who makes incorrect changes to numbers in articles; anything from that IP address should be carefully checked for accuracy. Kablammo 02:03, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Scientologist

Is it relevant that she is a Scientologist? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.231.6.65 (talk) 21:51, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

The Onion

This wikipedia page was featured in an Onion article today: [2]. I don't get it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.11.0.182 (talk) 19:15, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

One of the things The Onion does is make news out of things that people do in everyday life, like leaving Wikipedia pages open in their browser for a few hours if they think they might want to read and/or refer to them soon. GreenReaper (talk) 01:43, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Musical Career

This line is purely opinion and, if not, needs to be backed up with sources: "In 1987, when she was 17, Lyte began publicly outshining other MCs"Bekthewreck (talk) 01:42, 2 March 2019 (UTC).

Orphaned references in MC Lyte

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of MC Lyte's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "BBD":

• From Earth, Wind & Fire: "Ramsey Lewis: Sun Goddess (Top Soul Albums)". Billboard.com.
• From Stop the Violence Movement: "The Stop The Violence Movement: Self Destruction (Hot Rap Singles)". Billboard.com.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 20:11, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Stop, Look, Listen (MC Lyte song) into MC Lyte

WP:SONG indicates this song does not qualify for an article by itself. Merge to group is indicated. Whiteguru (talk) 06:01, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
