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.

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....

It Is One Of The Original Facets Of Hip Hop.
