KRS-1 'An MC can be a rapper but a rapper can never be an MC

[CELL]

Do you agree with this statement?

It's an interesting concept. Taking guys like Kendrick or Lupe who can easily chop and change between making music that can be seen as, 'representing' Hip Hop and music that would seem ignorant or completely commercial.

Take a guy like Trinidad James for example and he would seem as the type of dude that wouldn't be able to imitate something that represents the culture or would he? Has his buzz or Chief Keefs both commercially and at a street level finally blurred the lines between an MC and a rapper?

An MC can be a rapper but a rapper can never be an MC

So what if the MC is a rapper, he can never be an MC? Oh wait, he was an MC but now he's a rapper so he's no longer an MC. Or can you jump back and forth.

KRS is one of the GOATs but this is stupid. just like when people say "i like hip-hop but i dont like rap music"

MC's are the star of the room no matter where they are. they inherently master ceremonies.

I actually disagree with the statement, i think it's ridiculous but I wanted to spark debate

I don't buy stocks in shyt that isn't worth my time or money breh breh

There's little money for rappers out there, how the fukk do you expect to make money as a ghost writer without a C.V. already as a rapper that can sell records?

Either reveal yourself or forever live in:

This.

When an MC is on stage he conducts the crowd

Is there a distinction between the two though? Aren't they the same thing or is KRS reaching?

Fabolous is a rapper. ODB is an MC.

Lupe is a rapper. Redman is a MC.



i can't figure out if Nas & Prodigy are MC's. I hope they are.
