MC Lyte Reacts To Tyler, The Creator's "Dyke"
Lyric
The legendary emcee MC Lyte reacted to a perceived diss from Odd Future's
Tyler, The Creator. Tyler used "Rella" on OFWGKTA's new retail release The OF
Tape, Vol. 2 to say, "Let’s get it poppin’ like MC Lyte around some dykes."
The 1980s alum told Hip HopDX:
"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.
With saying that, we do have a generation that is
quite irresponsible when it comes to what it is that they’ll say [and] their
behavior. [But still], it took me by surprise. One, because I know of people who
know him and kind of hold him in high esteem. [But] from that action alone, I
don’t know that I feel it worthy for me to address it in any other format,
outside of this. But, yeah, I thought it was very careless."
Lyte, who has never confirmed rumors of homosexuality, also spoke about the
fact that Tyler's bandmate Syd The Kyd, is openly lesbian.
On the real I just do not like this Tyler the
Creator...Character
