hmm...
MCing is the art of rapping. MC stands for ‘master of ceremonies’, and that is exactly what MC’s were. Early rappers were simply there to host the party. In the early days of hip hop the DJ was the main attraction. Hip Hop started when DJ Kool Herc came to New York, from Jamaica in 1970. Herc invented the ‘break beat’, which allowed for easier dancing because of a continuos beat. Kool Herc brought with him, from Jamaica, a style of talking over tracks called ‘toasting’. DJ’s had been toasting over reggae rhythms in Jamaica for several years and Herc copied this style and while playing sets would pump up the crowd by shouting things like, “Throw your hands in the air / and wave them like you just don’t care!†This was known as ‘rapping to the crowd’. Kool Herc invited his friends Coke La Rock and Clark Kent to MC for him while he cut up break beats, and this became the first rap group, called Kool Herc and the Herculiods. Other groups started copying the Herculiods and the rest is hip hop history.
At first the raps were simple, but as time pasted groups had to evolve their styles to stay ahead of the rest. Some MC’s started doing a style called beat-box, by vocally copying the sounds that a DJ could make on the turntables. Beat-boxing is considered the hardest thing an MC can do, and only a handful of MC's have mastered the beatbox. MC’s soon became the the headliners at shows and people would come to clubs and parties to hear different groups and MC’s battle each other with rhymes. ‘Freestyling’ was the most popular form of finding out who was the best rapper. MC’s would make up lyrics on the spot, which where often offensive to the person they were battling. Nowadays MC’s raps are very intricate and a lot more complicated than the simple ‘rock the crowd’/ throw your hands in the air’ raps of the late 1970’s and early 80’s. Instead my rappers use their talents to tell the stories of the ghetto ills and personal tribulations, but the freestyle remains the number one way of finding out who's the best
