the minute a biter who can barely speak started out selling every other rapper (inc his rainman possed retainer and biter exec producer) was the start of the final nose dive of the hip hop industry straight into the jaws of the hungry,greedy and bisexual pop industry devil. after that kanye was classed as a 'good mc', any pop track with a black artist is now considered as hip hop or rnb (what is rihanna and beyonces music?) and jay z being considered as the greatest rapper alive etc....why?
@GhostRecon436 MC can be "Master Of Ceremony" to iterate what Joseph has stated, or it can be "Mic Controller" which is more commonly used in Hip Hop. Master of Ceremony is used for "Ceremonies."
LOL these are rappers, not MCs. 50 cent? give me a fuckin break. why dont yall go peep some real talent= Heiroglyphics, Binary Star, Jedi Mind Tricks, Living Legends, Non Phixion, Sandpeople, the list goes on and on. You have to want to expand yo mind and wake the fuck up to hear the real shit.
@danynumero6 I personally dislike Mobb Deep, although they are definitely a step up from 50. And the Wu has truly evolved into great things. Sunz of man is dope. Good point. I was just pissed off to see 50 in the video that fool is a disgrace to hiphop
@danynumero6 Don't get me wrong, they are skilled lyricists I just don't feel like most of their content goes deep enough for me. Just a personal preference thats all
@danynumero6 Yeah 50 isn't exactly a prodigy or anything but at least there's a pretty legit meaning to his name, you always hear about people joining "the game" cuz it's all about the money and if it works then good for you I guess but it's good to know at least some people take their music seriously in that genre you know? In that sense the talent level is irrelevant as long as the passion's there.
well actually, in accordance with the book "Freakonomics", kids have been named Mayor, President, and everything else under the sun. The clothes don't make the man, the man makes the clothes. Best example, a father seriously named his two sons "Winner" and "Loser". Loser went on to great things, while Winner resorted to a life of petty crime, in and out of jail.
Most conversations and interviews with rappers would probably last about 10 seconds if you cut out all the "you know what I'm sayin'?" time fillers. Whatever happened to intelligent conversation and expression? I'm not trying to insult anyone, I'm just asking why does every rapper have to waste so much time saying that phrase over and over and over? YES, WE GET IT. WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
@SubconsciousGatherer Well, like you saw with Zion-i, not all of them are like that. The MCs that talk in conversations like what you describe tend to come out of New York, and nowhere else, really. Not saying other cats talk more intelligently or articulately, but many MANY rappers talk like idiots. I love Mos Def, he's a smart guy in verses, but face to face, he has a lot of problems forming cohesive sentences. Not as many as other guys, but still not good.
i remember here gza and rza's name was something like prince rakeem,when they scratched rakeem it sounded like rza same with genius sounded lik gza i guess i heard this awhile ago
RZA's and GZA's names are based on letters from the supreme alphabet. "G" represents "God" and "R" represents "Ruler". "Z" represents "Zig-Zag-Zig", which means " from Knowledge to Wisdom to Understanding" and "A" represents "Allah", or The "Asiatic Blackman." Asia is the body; attic is the mind; black is the dominant force; man is the higher intelligence.
damn! thats kool. didnt kno i jus LOVED da creation as it was. but this shit takes it to a whole nu level! too much intelligence in there. those are like da ultimate names haha!
havoc and prodogy stole there names from a group called SOUTH CENTRAL CARTEL(search them) they are havoc and prodeje..MOBB DEEP thought SCC wouldnt get big(they were kind of right..even doe SCC has clasic shit and had some billboard succes
) so they took there names. btw i like MOBB DEEP..
@tragsicc21 they both came out around the same time i think the west coast one is spelled prodejee or something different like that....but i do realize the west coast ones came out like a year before the east coast ones...but the they werent really know that much and dint blow up that much...the east coast ones are the ones who really blew up so they are the ones who are really known.
@nutlil2 i did my research on them niggas awhile back & i found out that mobb deep was unsigned hypes in the late 80s wit the same solo names havoc & prodigy.. they saw another roster of unsigned hypes wit the same names so they confronted them backstage at a performance later on & had them niggas SHOOK.. Prodigy (mobb deep) talks about it on 1 of his blog post on his website & even brings it up in his latest autobiography
Ok man i really hope your takin the piss coz if your serious you just came across as real dumb after more than a year of comments with people explaining the meaning and giving places to find out the meaning of MC...it stands for "originally" Master of Ceremonies that is how the term STARTED it was used outside of hiphop and was brought in and all the other terms wer added later but "mover of crowds" has Never been used by anyone that has a clue about hiphop coz it sounds like a bouncer at a gig
Mc can mean a variety of things: Microphone Coordinator, Master of Ceremonies, Mover of Crowds, Microphone Controller, Mic Checka, Music Commentator. I personally like Mic Controller
The Q in Q-Tip's stage name stands for Queens, the borough of New York City from which he hails. On Martha Stewart he said his name Q-tip was his childhood nickname because he was skinny and had big hair.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the word MC came from the saying Mic Check. when rappers would get on stage the first thing most of them would say is Mic Check. So another name for a rapper became an MC or in otherwords a Microphone Checker. Over the years the meaning of it became lost when people changed it to Mover of Crowds, and Microphone Controller, and Master of Ceremonies blah blah blah. this is what Reverend Run said in an interview
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the meaning of the word MC became lost when people started changing it because they werent sure. Like Mover of Crowds. I mean who says that? people normaly say a crowd mover, but not mover of crowds. And Master of Ceremonies? i mean who even talks like that? Like i said Rev Run was around when rappers started caliing themselves a Michrophone Checker, or MC. So i think ill take his word instead of a bunch of lost translations out there
no, what i am saying is that MC has stood for master of ceromonies before hip hop was envented. i am talking about the word MC. I am not talking about how people changed it from that to be hip and creative with it. man go and look it up on wikipedia, MC has been around since the 16th century and means master of ceromonies (as in a host-just like a rapper is a hosting the music).
dude, you lose on this one. the ORIGINAL meaning of MC = Master of Ceremonies. Rakim frequently used that term and even said the meaning in his rhymes. The guy who replied to you is exactly right. Rakim was the one who got the term penned "microphone controller" And one for you to grow on....the term "Master of Ceremonies" comes from the Catholic Church...but don't tell nobody.
mindwriter is a term I came up with... like it means that my mind is full of writtens and new ideas... the mind of mine expresses things and shows me things that i could never picture in real life.... I talk about mostly madd shit.... and some psycho type shit.. like im kinda on an edge between Cage Kennylz and Eminem....like idk... like I have a lyricist flow on some real shit....
I just gotta say that its a shame u guys gotta argue and fight when u have some real MC's dropping serious knowledge and for anyone who wants to know MC stands for "Master of Ceremonies " thanks for posting the vids!
i never heard that either, mc means only master of ceremonies, someone who can get the people moving in anyway, thats emotionally, or physically, dont matter. move people through music. thats why they say rappers today arent tru mcs. thats the whole hip hop is dead movement for you right there.
Nobody heard of a (microphone controller) too maybe it's cause I'm a Dj I'm sure its somewhere on the net ZooYork87123 what you just said contradicted itself the MC's of today get the crowds moven but that's it there's nothing to make you think its the lose of the message behind the lyrics they spit,that's why Hip-hop is dead I fell my hip-hop version/era is dyein out but there is a new pop-like version to each his own I bang Nas, Rakim etc in the club you play what moves the crowd POINT BLANK
i truly dont think hip hop is dead, i just think that the rich got richer n the poor got poorer, in other words the ones behind the major labels are everywhere for a reason, the label has the power/money to get shit played on the radio n on mtv n such. n like joe buddenns said, if u believe the people choose the countdown, your crazy. there is still great music out there, n i like it all mainstream or underground whatever, n im not a dj by the way. and i said exactly what your saying to me---
----cont.) ur saying what i said, whatever moves the crowd (get the crowd moving in any way.) and ur choice of words n typos confuse me, so im answering best i can. im talking when the first mcs came about, it was them n a dj at a club. dj spinning the records, n mc in the booth with him. when i said that about hip hop is dead crap, i was saying thats why alot of people believe it to be dead (not me) all i was doing was defining the ''master of ceremonies'' mad respect, keep ya head up.
mic controller? that was made up by hiphop heads..everybody's already said what it is but u shuda known...u probly think G.E.D. really duz stand for Ghetto Education Diploma huh?
fuck ur favs...what is this tmobile bitch? go suck a dick. if u think mc stand for mic controler u probly think a mic is a cock too..so go control dat...fuckhead
haha...shut bitch...if anybody's hoe its u...'mic controller by popular demand!' shut da fuck up...fake muthafucka...BTW if PMS is only once a month then you should see a doctor...pussy
i couldve said the same shit about u idiot...ur the one coming back for more aint you? ur a moron man..wow you got me...u figured me out...o my god...that hurst so much...ur retarded man u got no life to report so if i were u i'd just shut the fuck up cuz you makin urself look more ignorant the more you respond ya dum bitch
wow childish comebacks...very classy..thats exactly why i block u...dont get UR panties in a bunch..man get of My nuts and go be fake sumwhere else..go be a fake emo or sum shit...tell them EMO stands for Emortal or sum bullshit like that haha
....& u put thumbz down on my comments, real mature buddy, btw didnt u cal me a "hoe"? Oooo "Emo stands 4 Emortal" freakin hilarious, u must b rly proud of that 1 rite? ur n a fake gang dumbass wtf do u kno abt class?
who the fuck put thumbs down on ur shit i dont even see em on here...why would I be proud of sumthing u would say? me? fake? hahaha thats about as true as what you say MC really stands for..get a life man, quit talkin shit behind a screen.
difference is im responding to UR dumbass. i keep tellin u to shut the fuck up but ur such an attention hoe u keep talkin shit. im not frontin like im hiphop either...cuz i AM..mr mic controller
who the fuck said the thats my 'illusion'...i like bone thugs so the fuck what? c u can tell ur fake...just cuz i love hiphop and the oldschool doesnt mean i can listen to todays music dumbfuck. and yet u keep coming back so check yaself..."homo"
haha..ur a moron man...u dont even kno what ur talkin about. i got all that shit..just the fact that ur namedroppin proves ur trying TOO hard to be hiphop. i listen to everything...notice all that shit u sed is Eastcoast...so ur discriminatin on the West. and South....and Midwest sins ur hatin on BoneThugs...get outa here wit that shit man..hop on a "i'm so hiphop" message board and argue...cuz ur NOT hiphop. i dont care if Kool Herc and Doug E Fresh were on ur 'TOP'...fuck off
HAHAHA...looks like SHE's angry...naw man i dont like that...u can keep ur dick, u can eat it, im straight 'bro'...ME? YOU the one acting like the queen..."oh i listen to this this that and the other, mc stands for mic controler, everything else is wack except what I listen to!!" hahaha...shut the fuck up man i'll stop responding...im havin fun...ur just being a bitch..u can talk shit but cant take it?? haha fag
lmfao! hahahaha... show me ONE battle that either Jay Z, Rakim or RZA have been in that is freestyle. I gaurantee if any of those are in a battle its pre-written lines. the dopest freestyler of all time is mc supernatural (juice comes a close second). check out his vids on here if you dont believe me.
Haha i like Prodigy's explanation. "They call us the Mobb cuz we Deep" It's like saying "they call us Wu-Tang cuz we the Clan"

i never heard that either, mc means only master of ceremonies, someone who can get the people moving in anyway, thats emotionally, or physically, dont matter. move people through music. thats why they say rappers today arent tru mcs. thats the whole hip hop is dead movement for you right there.
ZooYork87123 3 years ago
Nobody heard of a (microphone controller) too maybe it's cause I'm a Dj I'm sure its somewhere on the net ZooYork87123 what you just said contradicted itself the MC's of today get the crowds moven but that's it there's nothing to make you think its the lose of the message behind the lyrics they spit,that's why Hip-hop is dead I fell my hip-hop version/era is dyein out but there is a new pop-like version to each his own I bang Nas, Rakim etc in the club you play what moves the crowd POINT BLANK
JG0en187 3 years ago
i truly dont think hip hop is dead, i just think that the rich got richer n the poor got poorer, in other words the ones behind the major labels are everywhere for a reason, the label has the power/money to get shit played on the radio n on mtv n such. n like joe buddenns said, if u believe the people choose the countdown, your crazy. there is still great music out there, n i like it all mainstream or underground whatever, n im not a dj by the way. and i said exactly what your saying to me---
ZooYork87123 3 years ago
----cont.) ur saying what i said, whatever moves the crowd (get the crowd moving in any way.) and ur choice of words n typos confuse me, so im answering best i can. im talking when the first mcs came about, it was them n a dj at a club. dj spinning the records, n mc in the booth with him. when i said that about hip hop is dead crap, i was saying thats why alot of people believe it to be dead (not me) all i was doing was defining the ''master of ceremonies'' mad respect, keep ya head up.

The original definition of an MC is Master of Ceremonies, however it later became also known as Microphone Controller within the Hip Hop community.
