Poor Georgie- MC Lyte

[sweetcgardner]

rap was so much better back in the day i still like todays but old school so much better

[orensha1]

i love this song!!! i cant stop listening to it

[Gilmore86]

I miss this kind of Hip-hop. Where it actually had a story and a message to tell. Rap and Hip-hop today has neither one, sad really!

[1219622]

[BjBx3]

[cooleyhi7]

[lilrick98]

[tonytherock3000]

real hiphop

[ceerivera]

i like her deep voice ...

[OoZee33]

when music was music, not some stupid ass bragging about his big rims.

[bizarro85101]

funny she can kick most of todays rappers ass lol

[oceantalk1]

this is so powerful'

because this is when hip hop had a heart and soul.

and also preached a good moral values lesson.

because this is so biblical that no one is promised tomorrow.

because today is the day of salvation 2 corinthians 6:2

because this is true hip hop at it's finest.

because this so called hip hop crap of today could never touch this.

[spyder851]

This beat was ill.

[LianiOne]

The story is not to say that I'm in sorrow

Just to say no one is promised tomorrow

If you love someone, you should say it often

You never know when they'll be lying in a coffin

Those last lines have stuck with me ever since I heard this track back when I was a kid.

[noelballiram]

men be good 2 yuh girls cause u don't know wat will happen in life

[noelballiram]

men b good 2 yuh girls cause u don't wat could happen in life

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

It's actually's Michael Jackson's I Wanna Be Where You Are and The Supremes My World Is Empty Without You as well as the Toto/Cherly Lynn classic Porgie Georgie

[7fire7ice7]

ur right, my mistake

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

It's ok. Thanks for the reply. You have great taste and knowledge of music.

[7fire7ice7]

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

Eric Benet remade the classic by Toto and Cheryl Lynn who sang the hook on the original version. This version also contains samples of Michael Jackson's I Wanna Be Where You Are and The Supremes' My World Is Empty Without You

[thagingerbreadman]

i think she was soooo cute

[RVCA91]

"Roxxane Shante is only good for steady fuckin!"

[mayamba65]

Everybody, can't you read between the lines? Who is Georgie Podgie? The story begins in England in the 15th or 16th century. The said man was a homosexual and was the king of England's boyfriend or "girlfriend" for that matter. It was and still is a nursery rhyme in some parts of the world - "kiss the girls and make them cry" - he could do nothing except just kiss them. MC Lyte is lesbian and is passing to you a homosexual message that most of you seem ignorant about!!

[LexyAAA]

Is she really a lesbian?

[MCLoWlOw]

oh you already know

[lacroix2]

You can't tell me this song doesn't BANG! I used to play the 12 inch to DEATH! Lyte was/is the best femcee to do it.

[RAHMYULIS]

this was amazing! the message was so captivating and easy to understand, that i completely forgot about the beat and music. I couldnt help but listen. now its the other way around, ex: "Donk" by soulja boy. great beat, horrible lyrics, cant help but dance

[liketohavefun2007]

i don't know about horrible lyrics, hell this girl is dope. this is the legend! next to the Queen. MC Lyte was the first female rapper super star.

[1coupe1]

flossin from long beach to compton in the caddy

[Sweetbabyvixen]

Co-sign (Runs to call mother, who annoyed the shit out of me today)

[MPCHustle]

Hip-Hop used to be so Message oriented, if they didn't succumb to the money so much, we'd be in a better place

[maliqueB]

I love this song!

[busysignal2006]

wow i got a friend named jorge and this shit reminds me alot of him

[MCLoWlOw]

[rb7007]

The original was by Luther Vandross late 70's or early 80's.

[TheBlackSunn]

[phdzg]

hey Pitbull713, I still have the original single of that song that came in cassette tape, and it has the instrumental of that song. It's the original black single cassete from McLyte and I've had for more than 15 years, and more original tapes that i bet they sound even better than cd digital audio. You want that song? Well, let's see what we can do. You'll be surprise that I'm Hispanic, from Mexico, and that I love all that Great Rap Music from the late 80's to the early 90's... C-Ya!!

[phdzg]

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS FROM MC LYTE

[anw510]

MC Lyte made good creativity with using Toto's Georgie Porgy

[pitbull713]

[CamilleJefferson]

So funny, cause I thought so when I saw it just now! Could be, cause she wasn't big then.

[Chelsea432234]

Omg yeah it looks like her. lol.

[sametta]

[sametta]

[lequory]

lauryn is seen throughout the video on the left side of Lyte when they skip back to them on the rocks.

[repkillaqueens]

[megzican]

haha im not a bro but yeah i'll agree with you there is some good underground hip hop these days but nothing comes close to the music from the late 80's early 90's...there was so much original unique stuff coming out and all at the same time...all we can do now is reminisce...

[megzican]

why don't we have songs like this today?

what happened to INTELLIGENT hiphop, dope beats that had a MESSAGE?

this shit is SO much better than ANYTHING you can hear on the radio.

this is REAL hiphop.

[baciarko111]
