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 backronym for "Microphone Controller", "Mic Checka", "Music Commentator" and one who "Moves the Crowd".
Uncertainty over the acronym's expansion may be considered evidence for the ubiquity of the acronym: the full "Master of Ceremonies" is very rarely used in the hip hop scene. This confusion prompted the hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest to include this statement on their 1993 Midnight Marauders album:
The title 'MC' means 'Master of Ceremonies'. Some people who MC don't know what this term means. Agreed.
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 1970s. These MCs eventually created a new style of music called hip-hop based on the rapping they used to do in Jamaica. MC has also recently been accepted to refer to all who engineer music.
A "wack" MC is a rapper who lacks talent, integrity, or is in some other way disrespectable as an MC. To be labeled a wack MC is considered very insulting. Wack is a common hip hop slang expression meaning inauthentic or "lame."
Djing
The physical act of selecting and playing sound recordings is commonly referred to as DJing (or deejaying), playing or spinning. The resulting performance is called a DJ set.
