MC Lyte thinks everyone focusing on President Joe Biden‘s blundering intro of LL Cool J isn’t keeping their eyes on the prize … which is, in her opinion, one of hip hop’s biggest moments ever.

Lyte was honored alongside LL last weekend in D.C. for her own monumental strides in rap — but it wasn’t her name the President royally screwed up, nor was she the one who had to stomach being called “boy” … as LL did.

Biden’s political critics think it’s just the latest example of him losing it, and his cultural critics — like Charlamagne Tha God — had no mercy for him either, but Lyte went to bat for the commander-in-chief and thinks it was an honest mistake he sincerely regrets.
