gud point m8 ya need dedication and a few connections like or ya not gonna get nowhere even if ya mint as fuck

you've gotta have personality AND origionality. If you've got these qualities the rest will come naturally.
you definately need lots of different aspects to be an MC, but i would say Clearness and Rhymes are the most important. Its no good having wkd rhymes if no fucker can understand what ur saying.

isnt it jus - ace is on it wen hes mixin rhymes 2geva n he even knows he is cos he jus shouts down the mic TALKIN A LOAD OF SHIT! n sayin MC ACE SORT IT OUT n stuff like tht. the best bit on the tape has 2 b the padded up inside a cell bit, because 1) the tune is a beast, specially the boot off were he does it right. and 2) even tho he fucks up he still makes it sound as tho he hasnt mucked up like he planed it and tht. thts wat makes tht tape the best ive herd wiv ace on in my opinion

I dont think stompin' freestyles as much as people thinks he does cos most of the freestylin that most mc's do these days revolves a lot around the things that stompin says, bout gettin high, jumpin around etc etc. dunno whether stompin was the first person to start using things like this like but probs.

IT TAKES ORIGINALITY AND DEDICATION I HOPE!!AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS I'D SAY YOU'VE LISTED!!!.....AND FROM WHAT IVE EXPERIENCED FROM MA MATE MC H IS THAT IT HELPS TOO KNOW PPL 2 GET SOMEWHERE AND IF SOMEONE FK'S UP YA CONNECTIONS WIV SOME1.. LIKE IF SUM1 GOES ON YA MSN AND SLAGS THESE CONNECTIONS OFF... YA OPTIONS START 2 B BIT MORE LIMITED...

mc's hav allways used these sort of words on the mic but stompin was the first 2 put them all together in a fast freestyle way. but I memba mc g used to say 'everybody movin' n 'every body rokn'. Dunno if stompin got that off him? ;)

MC-TempO
25th January 2005, 05:31 PM
dare say, freestylin aint so much an aspect of bein great mc, its better tha njust writing ya lyrics down cos eventualy mcs get borin with the same old crack every sat! clearness id say is sumit ud need, liek scotty jay, tazos an amazin mc, but he got ne clearness which puts him down! speed is gud aswell i think but not far too fast cos its wicked listenin at first, but it soon gets dull, bein right in the middle tho like scotty jay tazo ace etc is gud cos they not too fast not too slow! If any1 had every1 of the qualities mastered to perfection, not many people wud be better i tel ye!

MC HIGH 2004
26th February 2005, 04:05 PM
to be a gud mc nowa days i think it takes agood sense of the newer tunes that are being played. a personality for writing lyrics that mean sommit, speed isnt everythin. you need to be clear so you need a clear voice. i think stompin has the cleanest voice like. you need to stick alot of hours into practacin. freestylin all the time sounds shit. i aint heard someone pull it off apart from stompin. i didnt know anyone in the business when i started at the munki but i guess it would help. but you get alot of clubs puttin up commers on now anyway so connections arent needed as they were before. you just need to be gud enough to blow the competition.

MC HIGH 2004
26th February 2005, 04:09 PM
i nearly forgot originality. thats very important. most of the up commers sound the same to me. you all might disagree but the ones that stand out are the ones you will of heard of. eg. energise, me, rockin, and verious others.

u need loads of confidence aswell if u sit around thinkin of mint lyrics and have a class style in ya bed room and u don't have the bottle to go out and hand in tapes u not gonna get any where either. but if u have connections u don't have that problem :D

Jimmy G-Force
1st March 2005, 12:48 PM
Personally I would say ......


1. Clarity - Without this your rhymes and raps are pointless.

2. Timing - Without question the most technical aspect of MC'ing, timing is crucial, you need to know exactly when to start and when to stop.

3. Rhymes and Raps - Once you have mastered to first two, your raps and rhymes will have the base to be heard in their full glory.

4. Tone of voice and variety - You need to be able to MC in many different ways to cater for all variations of dance music - Rave, Makina, Hardcore, Italian, House, Happy Hardcore etc etc. Its not one style fits all, you need to be articulate.

The cream of the MC's in this country all use their voice to change with the tone or melody of the tune, MC Storm and MCMC are great examples. Very few MC's in the North East change the tone in their voice to compensate the music, without this the tone in voice becomes montoneous. MC Turbo D is very good at this, his style is a variation on how they do it in the South East, its how it should be done.

Originality is great, but I know alot of MC's whose styles are taken from MC's from other parts of the country and used it to great effect. There is nothing wrong with that, as for ravers in the North East, its new to them anyway.

Every MC today will have taken their inspiration from another MC, its how it works, if you can bring a new style to the table then great, if not, just make your own variation on your idols, but write your own lyrics.


5. Repetiveness, awareness and choice of lyrics - Its not a race to see how many words you can get out, its all about complementing the DJ. Always remember its the DJ thats the man here, your simply an extension of his music and mixing ability, a voice for his work.

The club will still rock without an MC, but it wont without the Dj, always remember that.

Always be aware whilst the DJ is in the mix, there is nothing worse than an MC spoiling a great mix by never shutting up, and DJ's wont appreciate it, so be wary. Always-highlight a good mix or great scratching ( Dj Trouble ;0) ) and vary your raps and rhymes without becoming repetative in the same set.

Try and start your raps on the first beat of the first bar and end on the last beat before the break, continuing to rap over a breakdown is technically poor. You can start your rap or Rhyme on a breakdown, this is probably the hardest skill to get right and your timing has to be perfect,and it takes a lot of experience to pull it off correctly. But if you get it right, and finish the last word of your rap just before the beat kicks back in, then it sounds awesome.

Your rhymes should be timed to end on any break, if its 8 beats before great, if its 16, no problem either, just make sure you get the timing right and you'll get the best effect from your work.


Anybody can get up on a mic and shout, rap, rhyme, whatever, nonstop, thats easy. But its not about that, its about being clever with your lyrics, using them to their maxium effect, thats what makes a great MC.


Hope this helps ..........


Respect and Laterz

doesn't "copy" at all he's influenced by him but is a totally diff emcee .. nd he doesn't say loads of his rhymes anyway jd walker hasn't got "loads" of rhymes ..

it's not just jet anyway techno T, massive, Kc not to mention loads of emcees further south say things they say as they've been around since the early 90s and been an influence to loadsssss :7838:

shut up you havent got a clue.:576:

:541: mc without rhymes is like trying to eat soup with a fork...cant be done

people say kc and old mc's used free-style...i class them as lrics since they said it everywer they got on..every mc has a lyric theres not one mc that hasnt

speed is really needed as it cuts out the clearness
