[slimmsayton]

The last dude was Def Jef--MC and DJ. One of those many Golden Age cats who only had one song. I can't, in good conscience call it a hit. It was called 'Give it here'.

[lebrontophx2010]

Shows like Lyricist Lounge get canceled and 16 and pregnant get aired...smh

[biggerflexible]

1:38 to 2:02 = epic.

[TIGAakaMAMAFATKAT]

[TIGAakaMAMAFATKAT]

@igfromthe323 yeah she was a regular cast member-but she was just a comedian I don't think she ever rapped

[75bari]

I hope they release this on DVD.

[kymmirox]

didn't know Heather McDonald was on this. haha she is on chelsea lately now.

i miss this show

[tlofee]

This show was so dope,especially when artists like Mos Def,Common,Tash,and even Erykah Badu was spitting on this show.I hate to say this but,maybe its good this show ain't on no more.I mean don't get me wrong I liked the show I just hate to see people like Waka Flaka,Lil Wayne,or the new kids on a dope show like this in a couple of years.

[strezz23]

They need to bring this show back. For real!

[rawfood777]

fiyah

[septbeauty89]

This show was mos definitely before its time. Imagine what this show would be like with the rap that's out now. It wouldn't be anything but soulja boy wannabes and the like instead of real lyricists. SMH, rap ain't shit nowadays. There's only a few real rap artists in the mainstream, smh.

[juntheory]

@septbeauty89 no worries. its coming back-within the next five years

[JayLa76]

The last guy rhymin was Def Jef.

[purpulhaze]

[blueprint904]

nigga this shit hard!!!! masta fool

[KrfNYC2]

Wordsworth is nice. The rest are mediocore at best in this skit.

[ddubeba]

Damn! This show was racist as hell! Every skit was blacks skirting work or hustlin while rapping simultaneously

[mrcole23]

wordsworth and master fuol is talented as hell

[zeke305]

[neekdiamonz15]

[Bmatt2163]

damn this show was the shit, I miss the good ol days when MTV was good. Shit what about Yo MTV raps? That was my show too.

[lenzino7383]

This show was so hott, the rhymes were so good and it actually had music. It makes no sense MTV would cancel this considering it was a "music" oriented comdey show and MTV is a "music" video channel...or at least it was...sigh.

[MARIOLOPEZ26]

i always thoght it was Worthwords

[AGoodWomanDiji]

Def Jef was funny..lol

[msiveej]

Tracee ellis ross....this show was a little before its time

Hip Hop Trivia: Dame Lee is the name of the lyricist rappin to Tracee Ellis Ross

[kenshin80012]

Wordsworth was on point. So was Masta Fu'ol.

MTV slipped hard when they canceled this!! It's way better than Nick Cannon's Wild'n Out yet that's in like it's 5th season! Even sexy behind Traci Ellis Ross was in this lookin' extra sexy!

[FreeChris]

Tru dat. I dont care what MTV say or do Lyricist Lounge show is the best

[RenaissanceRoss]

Great point! wildn out sucks. This show was amazing. I used to watch it all the time. by the way, why did it get canceled?

[vinced8]

Back in the day man! Before we had the Ipod's I used to rock this sh** on my minidiscplayer! Best Ep's were the Ceelo appearance and the freestyle with Krayzie Bone!

This show should be on DVD, that's history right there!

[flargums]

[Tigea1]

NAh the illest one was the one on the plan....

The plane going down, shoulda stayed on the ground, w/ the trains steada messn w/ the rain and the clouds. Life vests and floats that dont work, since they flew first class i hope they die first. ~~~~~~

My fault. gotta a lil carried away...thats how ill it was

[vs1990sangha]

tha geezer wit tha strapped dynamites a joker man lol

[THELilAi3]

MTV always gets rid of the good shows

[deuceklub]

This is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE SHOW. I've been looking for DVDs, clips, anything available for the Lyricist Lounge Show. I had every show on tape, 1st and 2nd season, but I lost them right after the show got cancelled. Man, I miss this show. PUT MORE EPISODES UP. Especially the freestyles from the 1st season: Mos, Snoop, Da Brat, and MC Lyte. MTV made a huge mistake cancelling this show. A true classicThis is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE SHOW.

[capoeiragirl78]

I dont have any others but check my videos on myspace com/lida for an additional one featuring Krayzie Bone and the cypha at the end, that did not fit on youtube.
