[InfamousDuck]

What do you perfer MC or Rap. Alot of people may say there the same, well sort of accept without being offensive MC is more from the white community while Rap is more from the Black communtiy.MC is more fast talking in a tune.You could say MC is a type of Rap,well it sort of is.Personly i perfer Rap,some of my idals are Shawn Carter(Jay-z) and Kanye West.Well i want to know what you perfer Rap or MC.

Guess I'll say MC. I can stand Eminem and rappers like Lil' Wyte. Thats in small, small quantities, though. Rap as a whole is deplorable.

[megadedhed]

I allways thought MC ment "master of cerimonies"

 

 

 

like a DJ means "disk jock"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but anyway... neither by your definition

Agrees 100%.

I prefer MC, but only for 2 artists:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zack De La Rocha of Rage Against the Machine

 

 

 

The Beastie Boys

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's nothing ractist or anything, but ironically, I just think white (hispanic in the case of Zack) guys are better. (Although there are obviously a lot of terrible MC's out there, as there are rappers and indeed any genre of musicain).

I thought MC was short for emcee, which was another name for a rapper. Maybe i'm wrong, I don't know.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I love rap, always have and always will. But I hate these new rappers. All of their names start with "Lil" and "Young". And they all rap about "I got twenty fos on my caddy" I listened to more "old school". Once I started listening to it I realized how bad these new rappers are.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not saying that all of these new rappers are bad, just a majority of them.

No you're right. An MC is another name for a rapper who is somebody who raps. This MC/Rapper business just seems to be another way in my opinion to distinguish between 'black' and 'white' which seems quite sad. The way you rap(fast/slow etc.) which the poster reffered to, is your flow or how you flow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway as a rap fan, I have to say in the last 4/5 years most of the new hip hop albums being released have been poor with a few exceptions such as Nas, Kanye West, Jay-Z and a few others. Its a shame because rap was so strong during the 90's maybe Nas was right Hip Hop is Dead.

 

 

 

(just wanted to work that title in its such a good album :D )

I want to get that album, it looks good. Nas is one of the greatest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But as for it being dead, I wouldn't go to that extent. I just think it's a very low point. The 90's was the best point in rap. Tupac, Biggie, Eminem, Nas, Wu-Tang Clan(who released the greatest rap album ever), Dr. Dre, Mobb Deep, Jay-Z(even though I don't particularly like him, I must give him credit.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only rapper I would call good nowadays is The Game

You reckon 36 chambers is the best ever? Its good but Id have to go with Illmatic, its pretty much a flawless hip hop album. I do agree that hip hop isnt dead I was exagerating a bit but theres definately been a big downturn in quality.

amen

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As far as rap, I think it died out around 2001, or slowly progressed into 'hip-hop'. I think hip-hop died after 2004 tho, and we started getin the 'Lil" and "Young" rappers.

I think i have got my defitions for MC quite wrong sorry for that.I dont loads about MC because i really dont like it.

Yea, IMO, 36 Chamber is the best rap album ever.

[ctp080188]

Yeah I'm pretty sure MC stands for master of ceremonies, or microphone controller. I don't think it always means rapper though, for example, in a club when you see a dj, and theres some guy on the microphone just talking, not rapping, he is still known as the MC as he has the microphone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But yeah, ultimate classic albums for me have to be, The Chronic 2001, Doggystyle, Illmatic, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, Double Up, Genesis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have to agree with 1 man army, or should I say Nas. The music in the past couple of years I would not classify as hip hop. People are too into making party tunes and club bangers, the actual content is non-existent.

[How2PK]

Hm, I'd go for something like "It takes a nation of millions to hold us back" (Public Enemy), "Bizarre Ride to the Pharcyde" (The Pharcyde), "Train of Thought" (Talib Kweli + Dj Hi-Tek/reflection eternal), "Death Certificate" (Ice-Cube) "Ironman" (Ghostface Killah), "Criminal Minded" (Boogie Down Productions/KRS-One), "Internal Affairs" (Pharoa Monch), "All Eyez on Me" (Tupac), Illmatic (Nas) amongst others...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, the topic more or less changed to greatest hip hop albums. :) So I thought I'd give my share as well. The other question is a bit weird.

[Star.]

Has anyone heard of "Grime" music? Download "N-dubz-I swear" and then listen. #-o

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah rappers are trying to big themselves up in their music saying how they have lots of money and girls and can get [kitty].

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Game is really good, I love him. *Cough* Get the song "I'm chillin." *Cough*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like P Diddy's colaborations, they are cool because you'd have thought a guy like him wouldnt work with these singers that are not "Gangsta."

Grime's dying these days, nobody seems to be doing anything new, everyone still gets hyped on "Pow", "Heartless" and "Wot do you call it?". Not to mention Kray Twinz and SLK. I swear I have a song by N-Dubz called "Better Not Waste My Time" Oh lord. My poor ears. What is wrong with his voice?! I can do the best impression of it, lol.

I dont mind people changing the topic to talk about hip-hop albums but can you please still state what you perfer MC or Rap :!:

I first used to like Rap, then MCing came about and i preferred that over Rap. Then "Grime" was on the scene which i loved and still love today. I dunno whats happening to Grime though, the artist such as Kano, Dizzie Rascal and Roll Deep, which were the last Grime albums i bought, seemed to have faded out over the past year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back to the point, MC beats Rap in my opinion. People like 50 Cent and G-Unit with every beat sounding the same have just ruined it. Rap needs a change.

Kano has a new track with Vybz Kartel, just so you know... but yeah Grime irritates me these days, it's the same old stuff, and getting beaten up by overexcited boys in clubs is no fun either.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd like to know how people are differentiating between rap and mcing, as far as I understand, they are basically the same, except in circumstances I mentioned before.

[buzzsaw]

Never knew about Kanos new track, any good?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, the way i tell he difference beteen Grime and Rap is that Grime is more of commercial MCing, slowed down so it will appeal to more people. Also Grime artists are, from what i know, nearly all English. Where as Rap is mainly American artist speaking over a beat that usually has good bass, even though the lyrics always talk about girls, cars and money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off topic: Im also realy into trance/dance music, gotta love the club tunes :lol:

Grime is classified as garage music as far as I knew. Theres grime, 2 step and old school. Yeah pretty sure it's majority UK artists, the only one that the US has taken interest in is Sway (although not grime), who apparently has hooked up with Chamillionaire and is looking to try and crack America. (I met him in V.I.P. once! haha.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can get English rap as well, Iceberg Slimm comes to mind, as well as Sway. I wouldn't class that as garage, definitely fits into hip-hop and rap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just wanted to know what you meant by the difference between mcing and rapping, grime is a whole other genre!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Oh yeah, and Kano track - although not the greatest fan of his, anything with Vybz Kartel on, I adore! hehe!)

[buzzsaw]

Difference to me between MCing and Rapping is that...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MCing is more underground. Where artist have "Battles" and dont write there lyrics. I think of it as a skill, because to make up lyrics on the spot, that gets the crowd going wild, is hard to do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rappers tend to sit down and write there songs, usually after they here there beat, they'll write the lyrics to match it. Then it gets produced in the studio. Nearly anyone can sit down and write a Rap song, just 8/10 times, it isnt good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So thats how i personally define MCing and Rapping.
