MC Lyte and Teresa Weatherspoon | Resected for the craft not they hype

Two worlds. Two firsts. One blueprint.

In 1988, MC Lyte released "Lyte as a Rock" — the first full-length solo album ever put out by a woman in rap. That same year, Teresa Weatherspoon won a national title at Louisiana Tech and an Olympic gold medal in Seoul.

Different worlds. Same road. This is where the booth meets the hardwood.

Dare To Compare TV sets two trailblazing careers side by side: the first solo female rapper nominated for a Grammy, and the first Defensive Player of the Year the WNBA ever handed out. One built the lane from Brooklyn. The other built it from the baseline.

Two men? No. This time it's two women who were first through every door they opened — and then spent the rest of their careers holding it open for everybody behind them.
