MC Lyte Responds to Tyler the Creator Diss

Mc Lyte formally came out and spoke about the diss that Tyler the Creator said in his newest song, “Rella,” with the Odd Future Gang. During an interview with HipHopDX, a hip hop website that provides brand new information daily on the music industry, she said: “Yeah, I definitely was insulted. First off, it’s totally new school. [Tyler, The Creator] has yet to understand [that] although he can have quite a bit of followers and fans, it does take a moment from one’s entry in the business for them to really understand what it is that we do for other people. And how we inspire them, and how we influence them, and how we can literally make or break another human being’s day. And with all that I’ve done throughout my years in inspiring generations of people, I think it very irresponsible of him.”

Lyte plans to write a few books and defend the talks of her being the greatest female rapper of all time.
