In the 1970s and 1980s, the term MC became associated with hip hop music, and is the traditional title for a person who today is commonly called a rapper. Traditionally, an MC uses rhyming verses, whether pre-written or freestyled, to introduce and praise the DJ he works with, and hype up the crowd. Within hip-hop, "MC" is also a bacronym for "Microphone Controller", "Mic Checka", or "Music Commentator".
The full "Master of Ceremonies" is very rarely used in the rap scene. This confusion prompted the hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest to include this statement on their album: "The title 'MC' means 'Master of Ceremonies'. Some people who MC don't know what this term means."
Note the use of MC as a verb.
The use of the term MC when referring to a rapper originates from the dance halls of Jamaica. At each event, there would be an announcer or 'Master of Ceremonies' who would introduce the different musical acts and would say a toast in style of a rap, directed at the audience and to the performers. He would also make announcements such as the schedule of other events or advertisements from local sponsors. The term MC continued to be used by the children of women who moved to New York to work as maids in the 1970's. These MCs eventually created a new style of music called hip-hop based on the rapping they used to do in Jamaica. |
