EMCEEIN: (The study and application of rhythmic talk, poetry and divine speech). Commonly referred to as rappin or Rap. Its practitioners are known as emcees or rappers. The emcee is a Hip Hop poet who directs and moves the crowd by rhythmically rhyming in spoken word. The emcee is a cultural spokesperson. Technically, the emcee is a creation of his/her community whereas the rapper is a creation of his/her recording corporation. The word emcee comes from the abbreviated form of Master of Ceremonies (M.C.). In its traditional sense, M.C. referred to the hosting of an event the master of a ceremony or an event. In its ancient sense, to emcee meant to pray or to communicate with God. It was used by the Greeks to communicate with their oracles and to pray to their gods. The earliest known forms of Emceein were done by the ancient priest, sages and philosophers of Africa and Asia. Later in history, the ancient art of Emceein would be practiced by African griots and djelees as they went from village to village teaching (or rather performing) history and important life lessons. Emceein (or rhythmic speech/divine speech) also appears at the genesis of human awareness. It is the language of the heart. Early Hiphoppas transformed the traditional character of the Master of Ceremony to include crowd participation routines and poetry. Today, the emcee seeks to be a master of the spoken word, not just the best rapper or poet. Emceein (when properly understood) manipulates air through sound vibration in an attempt to alter or expand consciousness. Emcees also deliver lectures and other forms of public instruction. Most emcees rate themselves on their ability to rock a party, speak clearly and/or tell a good story. Know this. A talented emcee almost always becomes a respected rapper. But a talented rapper usually never becomes a respected emcee. The emcee expresses through rhyme what is already on your mind, whereas the rapper tells you all about his or her self. True emcees are encouraged to study both styles for maximum success.
