From Hip Hop Wired:

MC Lyte was spotted at a Pennsylvania college this week where she not only taught a class, but gave a special shoutout to Nicki Minaj.

The legendary female emcee was teaching at Millersville University when the Young Money princess was brought up in the lecture.

Instead of bashing her, like another female rapper famously has, Lyte took the high road and sang her praises to Minaj saying,

“She is a smart business woman. Creatively she is a mesh of sweet tea of MC Lyte, of Salt N Pepa, of Eve, of Kim, of Foxy, of everyone that has existed before. And we all have followed the steps of such great female MCs. There’s no way that I can say that I wasn’t influenced by Salt N Pepa.”
