Re: MTV\'s Top 10 Mc\'s
why do they call them MCs instead of rappers? Is an MC slightly different?

Jay-Z is good and all but I'm pretty sure he's not the best of all time.

Re: MTV\'s Top 10 Mc\'s
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 1970s. These MCs eventually created a new style of music called hip-hop based on the rapping they used to do in Jamaica.

Re: MTV\'s Top 10 Mc\'s
that's really not a bad list besides that the order is a bit screwy. if some dude told me that was his top 10, i'd think he was legit.
