and btw thank you for not doing that

everyone on this forum can do what little wayne does, but everyone could not do what emenim does, although he stopped making hiphop along long time ago

this is an example of how you keep loosing him.

i get he Heavy D reference and started to get this reference but it kinda fizzles into obscurity at the end there.

So this would be classed as MCing, rather than rapping?....

well when eminenim started out he was making hiphop, not the greatest hiphop by any means but still, but now he doesnt even make rapmusic he mostly makes pop in my opinion
he's closer to black eyed peas than hiphop or rapmusic

yeah, but if someone has to ask i don't know that referencing an artist, that they probably don't and never have followed, is the best way to describe it when you start getting into the whole metomorphosis side of said artists carrer.

in other words i think you're going too far down the "Rabbit" hole.

here's an mc who also makes hiphop

allot of people used to put dude down cause he wore trucker hats and was white and shit
I don't listen to people like that.

I know what you mean....and I get it, it's just that there so much unecessary misinformation about the subject matter ya know, when my friends and I talk about rock music its so much easier

the fact that I don't really care about any of these labels and shit deep down only complicates things further or simplifies them depending on how you look at it.

I based this more on H2Only's "an MC is a hype man" school of thought, than him being a rapper cuz his rhythm's all over the show, and I know rappers have to be rhythmical!

On a more serious note, this man is called a rapper...

This man is called an MC...

I don't see much difference personally, other than I'd call them both "very good rappers" (although not doing traditional "rap music" or "hip-hop" music as it were)....

I thought Flava Flav was a rapper!

WTF do I know!

The other guitarist from one of my old bands spent the whole of New Years Eve wearing one of our friends clocks on a piece of string for the evening, in a FF inspired moment of genius!
