It was comical to me…like that line, ‘Well, well, well, I’ll be damned.’ But turned out that that’s one of the most memorable parts of ‘Cha Cha Cha.’ Whenever I perform it that’s the part that the whole crowd wants to say. “There were some things that were humorous in there that I didn’t write or didn’t like or thought was the hottest line I ever said. But I had to have my stamp in it, on it and all round it because I’m not just saying whatever someone writes.” I didn’t have a problem with opening the door to someone writing with me at times. “There were occasions like a song like ‘Cha Cha Cha’ King of Chill wrote that with me. Īlthough the song's credits only feature King of Chill as the songwriter, MC Lyte stated that they wrote the song together: In 2008 "Cha Cha Cha" was No. 54 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop list and Lil' Kim performed a rewritten version on her mixtape, Ms. In turn, it would also become Lyte's first appearance on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop (then called "Billboard Hot Black Singles"), peaking No. 35. Although MC Lyte had already reached #1 on Rap chart a few months earlier with the collaborative single " Self Destruction", this was the first time that a woman had achieved it as the lead artist. The song stayed 18 weeks on the recently created Billboard Hot Rap Singles and became one of the first songs to peak at No. 1 on that chart, staying there for two weeks in December 1989. Produced by King Of Chill, who also has songwriting credits, it was released on September 8, 1989. Cha Cha Cha is the lead single from MC Lyte's second album Eyes on This.
