Many headZ tell me that this album is Lyte`s best work, I simply disagree because I feel that her 1993 album "Ain`t No Other" is much better overall. This joint`s still some CLaSSiC HiP HoP none~the~less! LotS of bragg`N, sucka emcee DiSS`n....or femcee DiSS`n on "Shut The Eff Up! (Hoe)" where Lyte lyrically attackS Antoinette. "Cappucino" has to be the album`s standout track though, my favorite as well! It`s an iLL story~telling gem in which Lyte stopS at a Manhattan cafe & gets caught up in some rival drug dealerS` gun~play. Then she findS herself asking; "Why, oh why, did I need cappucino?" in the after~Life. Definitely a DoPe album worth the listen...

MC Lyte`s been my favorite female eMCee since I first heard her rappin` the lyrics to "Ruff Neck" (still remember the video) from her "Ain`t No Other" album back in 1993. It was her equally rugged & hard-edged rhymes, flow & vocal~tone that`s made me a fan ever since...
