"This is the sound of a MC that has been made to feel insecure and no longer relevant. Mc Lyte was never one that had to make an effort, she was naturally gifted. This album cover speaks for itself (Desperate)! Whatever happened to the smoothness the jazzy hypnotic furturistic swing beats she ones had ? Whatever happened to the calm manner in how she delivered her rhymes like Rakim? This album is just ridiculious and a shame in the Mc Lyte Achieves. If you want to hear the Mc at her best go with "Lyte as a Rock & Eyez on This." Also "Ain't no other" had some pretty tight tracks on it as well. This album is so fake ..its almost like she is doing this just so she can fit in. The screaming and ranting on and on through out this effort is ludicris! Then the tracks are generic as Hell! You are the greatest female rapper of all time..you changed the game for females, WAKE UP!! You do not have to stoop to this level. So what you got released from Atlantic it doesn't mean that Missy or any of the others are better than you. It just means that you need to do what suited you from the beginning " Confident ,Cool, Smooth, Calm and Collect .....Remember the LYTE."

"Damn - She's my favorite rapper of all time & it hurts me to say that I really didn't like this CD. Besides 2 tracks (God Said Lyte & Ride Wit Me) the whole CD is straight garbage. Her beats get monotonous after awhile & she really doesn't need phone interludes from celebs to maintain her relevancy in the game. She should've come with tighter tracks (& maybe a couple of dope cameos from say, Missy or Yo-Yo) and her disk would've been stronger. Hopefully her next project will finally give her the respect and airplay she deserves."

Definitely NOT a representation of MC LYTe

"if this is ur first lyte cd please dont judge her. she is legendary. look back at her first five albums they were all unbelievable. real good, exceptional. her first two were her best and definitely a true representation of her effort. This album is not bad but not a good LYTE album. if LYTE can do what she was doing before, HIPHOP would change. She's still the baddest female of all time. only lauryn comes close. Also she's one of the best mcs to ever hold a mic. Even the masters themselves pay tribute to her talent. LYTE u are naturally gifted, as a big fan of urs just forget about competition because u won before it started. just do ur thing like before. what u did with no effort. Unbelievable MC. PEace girl."
