MC Lyte Thinks Fetty Wap is the Key to Feminism in Hip Hop

Apparently MC Lyte spoke about Fetty’s style and why she thinks he loves women at a recent summit.

BET writes:

During an all day summit hosted by the White House Council on Women and Girls, Charlene Carruthers, Executive Director of the Black Youth Project 100, and Dr. Johnnetta B Cole, Director of the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art,  moderated a panel on women’s voices and vulnerability in hip hop.

Topics ranged from misygony and s*xism to which rappers’ voices aligned most with feminism.

Hip hop legend MC Lyte took the opportunity to shed light on Mr. 1738, whom she believes has always been down for the cause.

“He may have a very unique way of presenting his ideas, but he does love women,” Lyte said. “For what he’s up against in this climate with all of the other emcees, he’s taking a stand. He’s being pretty courageous right now with what it is he presents in his music because it’ really not the norm.”

She also name dropped artists such as Talib Kweli, Common, and Kendrick Lamar who continue to dispense positivity through their words but ultimately, Lyte noted, the NJ rapper deserves to be commended for pushing his own agenda “without degrading sister[s].”

  1. I agree he needs to be commended for not calling women out they name. But that should extend to not dipping his wick in all kinds of available ink. He’s gonna be the next one pulling a Charlie Sheen if he doesn’t start strapping that puppy up.

  2. She’s doing too much. He’s not a feminist. He just has enough sense not to bash the gender who buys the most albums.

  3. I can’t agree or disagree because I’ve only heard one of his songs. But I do think more rappers need to chill out on using the b and h word every other line. It’s too much and makes me not want to buy their music.

  4. Eh, I will admit he keeps it respectful for the most part. He’s still new so we’ll see how long that will last.
