a true EMCEE can rock a crowd & get everyone hyped. That's what the definition of an emcee is. If they cant rock a crowd or never did a show then theyre simple an artist/musician/rapper.

Read my post on the subjectivity of a "true emcee" please.

freestyling doesnt have shit to do with how good you are as an artist....its more of a party favor if anything

This.

Probably means more since you're one of the best freestylers around here.

Heres what makes a good emcee.. The ability to drop good bars on tracks or acapella ish.. It doesnt matter if its freestyle or written as long as theyre good bars that are delivered good.. And if its over a beat then you gotta ride the beat.. Simple shit..

i think y'all got it twisted...an emcee is a term for a performer, MC=Master of Ceremonies, or a Host.

"Originally proclaimed by the legendary emcee Rakim (of the group Eric B. and Rakim) on his 1986 urban hit "Eric B. Is President;" to Rakim, an MC was any rapper who was able to control the crowd that he was presiding over."


An MC is slightly different from the average rapper, lyricists, artist. An MC is someone who performs & rocks a crowd with a microphone while the DJ is spinnin some shit....

I dont think it's neccesarry its like bein able to whistle, cool party trick but pretty useless

It Is One Of The Original Facets Of Hip Hop.
And I Believe That All Of The Original Facets Continue To Be The Most Important Ones.
