The study and application of Rap, poetry, and divine speech
Commonly referred to as rappin or Rap. Its practitioners are known as Emcees or Rappers. The Emcee is a Hiphop poet who directs and moves the crowd by rhythmically rhyming in spoken word.
The word Emcee comes from the abbreviated form of Master of Ceremonies (M.C.). In its traditional sense, (M.C.) refers to the hosting of an event ? the master of a ceremony or event. Early Hiphoppas transformed the traditional character of the M.C. to include crowd participation routines and poetry.
Today, the Emcee seeks to be a master of the spoken word, not just the best Rapper. Emcees also deliver lectures and other forms of public instruction. Most Emcees rate themselves on their ability to rock the party, speak clearly, and tell a good story.
