Good video!!! How could anyone say there isn't a difference? Rap like Lil' Wayne and Soulja boy are a joke compared to Gang Starr, Wu-Tang, Mos Def, etc. 2 completely different worlds.
@sourgrapess Please school the masses & let them simple-minded retards know what's up! I've ALWAYS known the DIFFERENCE between the 2. Others need to see it for what it is!
Stic man can shut the fuck up, as to the rest of the bitchez that talks bull shit. an MC is allways a rapper, but a rapper isnt allways an MC. So stop talkin like its some grades of quality or shitz. An MC is a rapper that lives hip hop and tells messages. An rapper can be an MC rapper or non-mc rapper.
Get out to the hood and get some knowledge idiots, stop talkin bullshit like. "2pac isnt a rapper, hes mc."
wait a minute, didn't KRS-One say that Lil Wayne was a dope emcee? Lil Wayne isn't really an emcee, sure he has some great punchlines but he doesn't put real message, he had some real message in songs like 'Hustlers Musik' from Carter II, but I don't see him as an emcee that much.
@yankeeboy1927 lol? drake>>>>>>>>>>>mike shinoda. only morons think he is a good rapper. and wtf are u talking about? "mc's can rap if they have to" um wtf? rappers= someone who can rap. emcees = people who can rap. so wtf is an emcee if there not rapping the whole time? i swear, people are too fucking retarded.
@WeezyHOVaUryu1994 LOL, Drake is fucking horrible. Mike Shinoda is better than all the mainstream shit rappers like drake. MC's can rap IF THEY HAVE TO, but they're not only confined to that.
MC's can make a beat out of almost nothing, while rappers need a big band to play for them.
Look at the highest rated comment. That's the difference between an MC and a rapper. No go listen to some more shit. Oops, I meant Drake. My bad.
The fact that you use Pimp C as an example just goes to show how much you really know about the bigger picture, it is a personal choice to use higher consciousness or lower consciousness, the title that you own as a hip hop artist will be determined by your skill level of using all of the criteria which you have stated. Flow, substance, message, compounded syllables and direction!
To be honest I reckon this scale is all fugged up, First of all, most RAPPERZ by definition in this argument, starting MCing, MC ing is the start of the journey, then you become a rapper, then you become a lyricist, then a philosopher..... These are the four steps in my eyes. MC is the beggining of the journey. If it isnt how do you explain what a lyricist is???
@jayfresh5000 does he do it for the love of hip hop? and look at some of the rappers he raps with, other mainstream rappers. and is signed to a major record label. Eyedea and underground emcee got offered a lot of money, a nice car, an apartment in New York and a huge record deal with a big label but he turned it down cuz he wasnt doing it for money and nice stuff, and other reasons
I know it was made about two years ago but I just found it. You right J that's why Mimic and QuadK are mc's and most of the people that hate us are rappers.
on da rapper part i agree wit u 100% except 4 pimp c i understand he was always talkin bout latest trends but he switched around n started trying to talk bout real shit b4 he died im just sayin i could be wrong tho
I find it hilarious that you've go that infamous picture of Lil Wayne and Birdman for Weezy. Also, could someone give me the name of that Saigon joint.
i hate when ppl use the word emcee instead of host
i went to see my brother perform in his schools christmas play and these 2 little girls were hosting when they introduced themselves they referred to themselves as "emcees" of the christmas play
Everyone listen to Shad K.... Born in rwanda grew up in London Ontario... He is African to the bone... It comes out in his talent for hiphop....real hiphop

aesop rock is fucking wack, he's a joke. Talks about getting bullied in middle school, honestly I'm almost embarrassed to see I even know about dudes like that. Papoose has mad skills, just because he doesn't really have a "message" doesn't mean he's not a beast.
papoose has mad songs that are hot, I don't know where you've been, the alphabet song was hot, but that was made like 3 years ago...he has released music since then. Aesop Rock is a joke either way.
@yung1jizzle1 I wasn't threatening anyone, mang. I was just stating my mind. Don't know too much about Wiz and XV, but I know of Cudi and his shit is indeed dope.
@yung1jizzle1 most people who don't like aesop rock just don't understand him....he spits metaphors and imagery that most mc's and poets wish they had
agreed, abc. Aesops lines need an open mind and usually a open third eye. Hallucinagenics are a key to his music. but, why must people always compete art? if it all sounded the same then it wouldn't all be GOOD. I like the fact that people in indie music do what they choose, not whats popular.
I never said I don't like him I aint a fan but he was aight he ad his own style. bun b is better though and i don't see pimp c a an emcee he's more of a rapper. This vid was done like over 2 years ago by the way.
look, don't hate, Lupe is good, but he doesn't have nearly enough skill to be named beside true MC's like Krs or Sti or Nas... so don't be hatin like that, maybe u think lupe's good, but that doesn't mean everybody else does... plus, the name of the vid is ''The Difference Between a Rapper & An Emcee'' it doesn't say ''All MC's in the game 2day'' so nobody's actually sayin lupe ain't good nuff...
US are people who live for the truth & wisdom we need to destroy & rebuild "mainstream Music" the underground is strong enough to take HIP HOP as a movement & culture back to it's roots.were knowlegde is greatness..the LEADERS -vs- the FOLLOWERS but as long as we listen to the radio & watch mainstream tv we are tellin them it's ok to keep us sleepin on reality.pop culture allways changes and by us not listenin or watchin it thay will have to change & find new ways to keep us dumb,deaf & blind
I agree. Every thread has someone talking about wack mainstream music; we need more action less talk. Our top real hip hop songs are getting 1 million views. The industry is about to collapse. We need to drop a bomb on the industry. Now is the time.
well my nigga go and do something about it, sittin on youtube all day complaining ain't gonna get shit done so get outside and "fix up the industry" that you seem to care so much about.
I agree with you 999% with this comment LOL! There is a big DIFFERENTS between HIP HOP & rap like there is a big DIFFERENTS between MC's & rappers..people must know there MUSIC CULTURE & HISTORY rell HIP HOP is FOREVER!
yea, it seems like hip hop heads classify anything relatively new or popular as "fake" or "wack" hip hop, and anything that's old school or unknown underground artists as "real" music.
It's that kind of mindset that's killing hip hop, if niggas just enjoyed the music for what it is, and stopped complaining about every damn thing hip hop would be in a better state right now.
"...An artist is signed to a major record label is based soley on his (or her) ability to sell and not the quality of his music."
That's why I listen underground stations with real emcees with tight beats rather than the mainstream trash with the corporate gangsta and glamor garbage.
pure shit that is not mainstream (club beats with bullshit dumbed down hook verses and choruses) it has a message that is cretive thoughful or positive not the same glamour-thug shit we hear every day on the radio talkin about the same shit. reall hip hop is underground tho there are a few more well known rappers that keep it real like lupe and
Soulja Boy is hip hop, his music may not be what we like but he has a following who listens and thts wht its all about, having a following whose willing 2 hear yo message no matter how weak and talentless it may or may not be. 100
thats true, but i just think its a different level of hip hop. hip hop was meant for people to express their thoughts towards government, religion, social and/or economic living, etc (look at public enemy #1, nas, tupac, krs-one). people like soulja boy, lil jon, pitbull belong to "hip pop" a style of music meant to shake asses with no meaning in the lyrics. thats just my opinion tho.
what about Dre, Biggie, NWA, Big L, those dudes didn't have a message, are they not hip hop because of that? What about club music?
pitbull is good to dance to, and if you went to the club you'd know. As a matter of fact, that's what hip hop started as, party music, it wasn't made for people to express thoughts at first.
but Big L, Biggie, NWA, & Dre had lyrics sir lyrics! they moved the crowd with thier powerful flows & punchlines (Big L & biggie) & NWA & dre did have a message don't you remember how controveral they were in 88? almost close to be as controversal as PE! & if this club music you speak of is anything like soulja boy, stanky legg, bobby ricky with wacl lyrics & no versatility well then it isn't hip hop in my book!
controversial is one thing, but that doesn't mean they had a message. NWA talked about killing and violence, the stuff most of yall seem to hate here. It had controversy, but then again, so do most new rappers, otherwise vids like this wouldn't be posted man. You don't gotta have a message to be good.
of course they talked about violence & killing but they really witnessed that shit & times were hard then it was real gangsta rap not plies or fake shit! these so called "gangsta" rappers now are fake, & def ain't convincing enuff they sound weak rapping about candy & hoes guccie mane anyone? the chronic is real gangsta shit! & having a message is 1 good aspect! also being lyrical not just saying stupid shit like these new cats are! & stop it with the silly dances please!
uma b strait ruthless..shut the fuck up wit that bullshit..soulja boy is a discrase 2 hip hop & u dont kno wtf ur talkin bout if u say soulja boy is hip hop, hip hop is about puttin out a message, where the fuk is his message..YOOOOOUUU!!..is that it? get the fuk outta here..sum1 tell me why the greats like Pac, Pun, BIG, & big L r dead & this fagget ass lame soulja boy is still around infecting minds with this nefarious feculence..uma superman this bitch & save hip hop.. u wait
If it's about putting out a message then you're telling me Biggie Smalls isn't Hip Hop ? Jay-z isn't Hip Hop ? Danny! isn't Hip hop ?
Danny! had a point. If you aren't rapping about diamonds and money or rapping about revolution or africa you aren't "Real Hip Hop". Being Hip Hop is being you. IT'S SELF EXPRESSION. Not "A Message" though you can have one.
Naw man, dj listed the last 3 as rappers (Wayne, Jones, and Pimp C). Great vid though man, hopefully this will help people who dont know the difference
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i think the real representatives of hip hop and rap are ppl like neyo, hurricane chris, sean paul, soulja boy. etc... cuz true hip hop is about making money and sleeping with woman etc.. peace out x r&b 4o life.
what about emcees that are now rappers like the ones that sold out like busta rhymes doing songs with pussycat dolls and you still call him an emcee ???? he cant be can he?
I came from the MotherLand with knowledge of how good the eighties, nineties and decades before were fam. Been here a minute now and it hurts to see the state of HipHop today. Kids in Africa emulate Rap pop. Not the Africa seen on TV, I mean the other 98% the 50odd countries with no wars but some corrupt leaders. In94 I understood Illmatic, Ghost and Cross movement to name a few. It has all gone bellyup, even Christian HipHop is Pop. Ten years in, like Nintendo, we need to bring the truth back.
but here is wat is missing...POETRY...the word poetry means to make or create.. poetry existed as long as any rappers & mc's..but itt all came from AFRICA!!!!
Props for including K-Rino and Andre. Killer verses from KRS-One, Immortal Technique, Talib Kweli, and Saigon. You could have picked anything from Nas. Good message too. Thanks.
dude you explain what hip-hop is really well, i aint playin witchu either, most people are retarded and say shit like "oh he aint gettin paid like weezy" wich is stupid as fuck since lil wayne is a pop artist (i just call mainstream pop)
but from one hiphop head to another GOD BLESS keep doin wutchu do man. oh and if you dont mind me askin whos your fave emcee?
I respect bone but I got ten minutes & no more I cant make everyboy happy in such a short time. Theres always gonna be somebody who says "wheres this one or that one?" but I think people will get the point. Plus Im about to start adding on to the series soon. Maybe make a part two.
cool understand completely i bet u do get that all da time but i love what you're doin i have been tryin to make the youngins understand this for so fuckin long and somebody took the time to get the difference out and i appreciate that man keep goin
Nah its both. You gotta have skill & you gotta say something. If you got skill but nothing to say your just a rapper with skill. its a combination of things.
You got a small point but for the most part AS KRS said. "Rappers spit rhymes that mostly illegal/Emcees spit rhymes that uplift thier people". Your probably gonna respond & say that KRS is wrong.
MC: the host of an official public or private staged event or other performance. The MC usually presents performers, speaks to the audience, and generally keeps the event moving. Look it up. When the griots told thier stories in peotry form they were emceeing. Maybe you should accept the fact that you dont know everything. Be open minded fam you cant always be right.
This aint got nothing to do with underground fam you got it twisted. And lames do think selling a million records makes them the best. Even soulja bitch said he was better than Jay-Z Lil wayne said he better than Pac & Big. You the only one who's confused.
basically..."MC=someone I listen to and like and i believe is an artist and isn't that popular." someone who is popular is a rapper. All the people you showed here are rappers. Only a few you showed can also be called mc's accordin to your definition from the beginning. It's all opinion. MC is a buzzword. if they would be all about hip hop and the trueness they wouldn't pack a ego bigger than KRS one's nose and leave their DJ's behind. Go back to your DJ, MC and make some true hip hop!
With the state of Hip hop (or should I say comercial rap) Nowadays I can understand why you would say that. I could give you a bunch of reasons why your wrong but the fact that the only music vid you posted is a lil wayne vid tells me your a rap fan & not a Hip Hop head therefore It would be pointless to try & get you to understand. Thanx for the comment.
what if im a country fan and i made the video to show how stupid black music is? or what if i dont listen to anything older than 2005 and i download every soulja boy ringtone. u just dont know so but you assume someone is this and that. see u just dont know. but i talk to a lot of ppl that have your same point and it turns into MC=non mainstream artist that they like usually ones with social political content. Greater importance of their subject matters doesnt make them better automatically
Wait If an MC is non mainstream. You think common Talib kweli & Nas are just rappers? What if K rino got a major deal & kept true to his style but got air play that would make him a rapper?
they're all rappers and mc as you put in the video is an elevation above someone who just started rhymin. someone who keeps the artform in mind. yea so a couple you showed would fit your mc definition. i agree with you a lot are overappreciated and some are underappreciated. funny you mention talib and nas cuz i went to their concert last week here in atlanta. the only point im makin is that people say so and so is an mc and so and so is just a rapper turns into unjustified art elitism.
I think you need to study the art fam your speaking opinion not fact. Plus posting a lil wayne vid discredits the point your trying to make lets just agree to disagree.
i didnt post it. i made it. i dont post other peoples completed works to get views. instead of discussin in a normal way u just ignore everything i say and bla bla and you this and you that. thats the oldest logical fallacy there is. talkin about the person makin a point instead of talkin about the point. you dont know nothin about me, what i listen to what i like or anythin else. next time try somethin better than a windows movie maker slide show. might get more views for your message

US are people who live for the truth & wisdom we need to destroy & rebuild "mainstream Music" the underground is strong enough to take HIP HOP as a movement & culture back to it's roots.were knowlegde is greatness..the LEADERS -vs- the FOLLOWERS but as long as we listen to the radio & watch mainstream tv we are tellin them it's ok to keep us sleepin on reality.pop culture allways changes and by us not listenin or watchin it thay will have to change & find new ways to keep us dumb,deaf & blind

I agree. Every thread has someone talking about wack mainstream music; we need more action less talk. Our top real hip hop songs are getting 1 million views. The industry is about to collapse. We need to drop a bomb on the industry. Now is the time.

Define Hip Hop. If you think soulja boy is hip Hop you have no idea.

He is Hip Hop he is just a wack rapper. :/
Shoujoboy51 2 years ago
yea, it seems like hip hop heads classify anything relatively new or popular as "fake" or "wack" hip hop, and anything that's old school or unknown underground artists as "real" music.
It's that kind of mindset that's killing hip hop, if niggas just enjoyed the music for what it is, and stopped complaining about every damn thing hip hop would be in a better state right now.

Finally someone who doesn't believe in Hip Hop segregation.
I mean seriously it's annoying to goto a Hip Hop video to enjoy an artist only to have some idiot spewing his hate all over the page.
One of the main reasons I don't get into "Hip Hop/Rap Politics" is because people can be so immature about it.

"...An artist is signed to a major record label is based soley on his (or her) ability to sell and not the quality of his music."
That's why I listen underground stations with real emcees with tight beats rather than the mainstream trash with the corporate gangsta and glamor garbage.
Can you recomend any online stations for me?

pure shit that is not mainstream (club beats with bullshit dumbed down hook verses and choruses) it has a message that is cretive thoughful or positive not the same glamour-thug shit we hear every day on the radio talkin about the same shit. reall hip hop is underground tho there are a few more well known rappers that keep it real like lupe and

Soulja Boy is hip hop, his music may not be what we like but he has a following who listens and thts wht its all about, having a following whose willing 2 hear yo message no matter how weak and talentless it may or may not be. 100
PadroPadro22 2 years ago
thats true, but i just think its a different level of hip hop. hip hop was meant for people to express their thoughts towards government, religion, social and/or economic living, etc (look at public enemy #1, nas, tupac, krs-one). people like soulja boy, lil jon, pitbull belong to "hip pop" a style of music meant to shake asses with no meaning in the lyrics. thats just my opinion tho.
respectdaswagga 2 years ago 4
what about Dre, Biggie, NWA, Big L, those dudes didn't have a message, are they not hip hop because of that? What about club music?
pitbull is good to dance to, and if you went to the club you'd know. As a matter of fact, that's what hip hop started as, party music, it wasn't made for people to express thoughts at first.
yung1jizzle1 2 years ago
but Big L, Biggie, NWA, & Dre had lyrics sir lyrics! they moved the crowd with thier powerful flows & punchlines (Big L & biggie) & NWA & dre did have a message don't you remember how controveral they were in 88? almost close to be as controversal as PE! & if this club music you speak of is anything like soulja boy, stanky legg, bobby ricky with wacl lyrics & no versatility well then it isn't hip hop in my book!
sfknns 2 years ago
controversial is one thing, but that doesn't mean they had a message. NWA talked about killing and violence, the stuff most of yall seem to hate here. It had controversy, but then again, so do most new rappers, otherwise vids like this wouldn't be posted man. You don't gotta have a message to be good.
yung1jizzle1 2 years ago
of course they talked about violence & killing but they really witnessed that shit & times were hard then it was real gangsta rap not plies or fake shit! these so called "gangsta" rappers now are fake, & def ain't convincing enuff they sound weak rapping about candy & hoes guccie mane anyone? the chronic is real gangsta shit! & having a message is 1 good aspect! also being lyrical not just saying stupid shit like these new cats are! & stop it with the silly dances please!

If it's about putting out a message then you're telling me Biggie Smalls isn't Hip Hop ? Jay-z isn't Hip Hop ? Danny! isn't Hip hop ?
Danny! had a point. If you aren't rapping about diamonds and money or rapping about revolution or africa you aren't "Real Hip Hop". Being Hip Hop is being you. IT'S SELF EXPRESSION. Not "A Message" though you can have one.

I came from the MotherLand with knowledge of how good the eighties, nineties and decades before were fam. Been here a minute now and it hurts to see the state of HipHop today. Kids in Africa emulate Rap pop. Not the Africa seen on TV, I mean the other 98% the 50odd countries with no wars but some corrupt leaders. In94 I understood Illmatic, Ghost and Cross movement to name a few. It has all gone bellyup, even Christian HipHop is Pop. Ten years in, like Nintendo, we need to bring the truth back.

You got a small point but for the most part AS KRS said. "Rappers spit rhymes that mostly illegal/Emcees spit rhymes that uplift thier people". Your probably gonna respond & say that KRS is wrong.
DaKidJ1fromthebx 3 years ago
MC: the host of an official public or private staged event or other performance. The MC usually presents performers, speaks to the audience, and generally keeps the event moving. Look it up. When the griots told thier stories in peotry form they were emceeing. Maybe you should accept the fact that you dont know everything. Be open minded fam you cant always be right.
DaKidJ1fromthebx 3 years ago
This aint got nothing to do with underground fam you got it twisted. And lames do think selling a million records makes them the best. Even soulja bitch said he was better than Jay-Z Lil wayne said he better than Pac & Big. You the only one who's confused.

basically..."MC=someone I listen to and like and i believe is an artist and isn't that popular." someone who is popular is a rapper. All the people you showed here are rappers. Only a few you showed can also be called mc's accordin to your definition from the beginning. It's all opinion. MC is a buzzword. if they would be all about hip hop and the trueness they wouldn't pack a ego bigger than KRS one's nose and leave their DJ's behind. Go back to your DJ, MC and make some true hip hop!
EldinMula 3 years ago
With the state of Hip hop (or should I say comercial rap) Nowadays I can understand why you would say that. I could give you a bunch of reasons why your wrong but the fact that the only music vid you posted is a lil wayne vid tells me your a rap fan & not a Hip Hop head therefore It would be pointless to try & get you to understand. Thanx for the comment.
DaKidJ1fromthebx 3 years ago
what if im a country fan and i made the video to show how stupid black music is? or what if i dont listen to anything older than 2005 and i download every soulja boy ringtone. u just dont know so but you assume someone is this and that. see u just dont know. but i talk to a lot of ppl that have your same point and it turns into MC=non mainstream artist that they like usually ones with social political content. Greater importance of their subject matters doesnt make them better automatically
EldinMula 3 years ago
Wait If an MC is non mainstream. You think common Talib kweli & Nas are just rappers? What if K rino got a major deal & kept true to his style but got air play that would make him a rapper?
DaKidJ1fromthebx 3 years ago
they're all rappers and mc as you put in the video is an elevation above someone who just started rhymin. someone who keeps the artform in mind. yea so a couple you showed would fit your mc definition. i agree with you a lot are overappreciated and some are underappreciated. funny you mention talib and nas cuz i went to their concert last week here in atlanta. the only point im makin is that people say so and so is an mc and so and so is just a rapper turns into unjustified art elitism.

I think you need to study the art fam your speaking opinion not fact. Plus posting a lil wayne vid discredits the point your trying to make lets just agree to disagree.
