 Rapping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Originally, rapping was called MCing and accompanied DJing.
Rapping (as a self-conscious artistic school) began as a variation on the toasting found in reggae, funk and dub music, mixed with influences from jazz-related performance poetry (Langston Hughes's album Weary Blues being an important example; the Beats also notable), radio DJ patter, and the tradition of playing the dozens.
Rapping is one of the four elements of hip hop: MCing (rapping), DJing (mixing, cutting and scratching), graffiti (tagging), and breakdancing.

 MCing
Rap music is one of the elements of hip hop; it is a form of rhyming lyrics spoken rhythmically over musical instruments, with a musical backdrop of sampling, scratching and mixing by DJs.
Originally rapping was called MCing and was seen as supporting the DJ.
In the mid-1980s, rap became increasingly politicised, through the works of Public Enemy and others, and tended to chronicle the fl urban experience.

I started mcing in 1995 on a pirate station called Radio Active on 107.40FM with my mate DJ P.D.F. who played old skool d'n'b.
The texts & calls were going mad & a listener called in to say that the DJ was playing a blinding set & the MC had good lyrics & took all the listeners on a magical ride.
Then in 2001 I did some mcing at a pub in Fleet called The Emporium alongside DJ P.D.F. Then in 2002 I started going to hardcore events called Ultimate Rush in Reading which have been very successful.

Graffiti being the written word of Hip Hop music, Mcing being the spoken word of Hip Hop music and Breakdancing and DJing being the physical words of the culture.
This is one of the most important elements because it is the spoken word of Hip Hop culture, and without it we would not have a classification of what Hip Hop music is. MC stands for Master of Ceremonies.
Mcing has evolved little from its birth in the mid 1970's.

MC Navigator did a good job of keeping the crowd in San Fran happy, but I thought at times his MCing presence could have rested a minute to let both audiences, live and not, listen to some of the older tracks that were thrown down.
The tracks matched Navigator's MCing skills and the team that AK and Navigator made was what a good collaboration always needs.
Unfortunately, I am not the largest fan of constant MCing and calls for the rewind, the lighter crew, etc. Some of it seemed unnecessary at times, especially when it drowns out vocals.

My Definition: Mcing, DJing and Bboying in the tradition or influenced by what Herc, Bam, and Flash did in the parks in the mid to late 70s in the Bronx NYC.
That's why it's kinda hard for me to define hip hop outside of the elements because everything else is left up to individuals to bring out their individual ideas on it.
From fashion and freaking your clothes a certain way to MC's who use the basic criteria of MCing and then adding their own personal spin to it to B-Boys who learn the basics as well and then do their own thing.

Reminds me of when I saw IC3 being the safe geeza that he is, going b2b with some pilled up chav with his top off in the crowd with Mampi swift at a local night.
And also some bouncers would argue that its not 'their job' to keep mic blaggers away...they get paid to go on the door, and oversee the smooth running of the night throughout the whole club, so probably won't wanna spend all night fixed to a spot standin next to the mc's.
Always happens, does spoil yr flow / mood and can really kill the vibe for ya, i think all promoters who cant afford the extra for a security dude up front should at least put up signs saying "hassle the mc and get the boot" - this should be standard.

 Tips on MCing | drumnbass.be forum
This friday someone came to me and he wanted to be teached to MC on DnB, but he has got no experience or so, he just wants to try it.
The 'double time' style of MCing used by almost every lyricist today was literally developed and pioneered by Hyper D and it's a testament to the man that his style is still being emulated five years after his death.
That's not to say that modern MCs lack originality, simply that Stevie managed to redefine the role of drum and bass MC both lyrically, and in raising the image and status of jungle lyricists within the industry.

Rapping or Mcing is another of the elements of hip hop; it is a form of rhyming lyrics spoken rhythmically over musical instruments, with a musical backdrop of sampling, scratching and mixing by DJ's.
It first began in the late 1960's when a Jamaican DJ called Cool Herc went to America and brought with him the tradition of toasting, this involved reciting improvised rhymes over instrumental sections of reggae records.

In the early 1970’s, following the “funk” era, the unnamed culture known today as “hip-hop” was forming in and around New York City. It became the urban voice of Urban America in 4 distinct different forms, but all with the common pulse of hip hop rhythm.
The four forms were ‘DJing”, Breakdancing, “MCing,” and Graffiti: Graffiti being the written word of Hip Hop music, “MCing” being the spoken word of Hip Hop music, and Breakdancing and “DJing” being the physical words of the culture.
