<description>i personally do not feel what your saying about the difference between a rapper and an emcee. i dont believe a rappers soul purpose is to gain fame and fortune. i rap mc whatever you want to call it. I write my own song. word for word they are all original, but i calss myself as a rapper rather den an mc. tgo me an mc is someone who does more towards the live p.a&#039;s and a rapper is someone who records more and releases more tracks. to someone they might turn round and say an mc can bury a rapper but word for word and line for line the rapper will bury an mc becoz he is doin the harder task of pushin his message through a song on c.d radio however so people are more den likely to listen to it and hear everything word for word, but an mc has got the advantage of jus babblin on the microphone and no1 cares coz at live shows more den likely the crowd are wasted and are not concerned with what you have to say, you could stand on stage and sing teletubbies and the crowd wud move to it. and to say that they have more passion is absaloute bull!!! i know for a fact i got more passion then 99.9% of artist out there rappers or mc&#039;s!!!! fly by my myspace and you will see www.myspace.com/stormp1</description>

<description>you guys talk about some interesting subjects.I definately learned something just now.I feel much more encouraged about persuing a music career. just wish the process was easier for people with real skill and respect for the art. It seems like the more talented you are the harder it is to get a chance to do what you really love and enjoy. The ones who dont deserve it get in and out so quickly. piece!</description>

<description>Simple Answer: vocal ABILITY is to vocalist as Rap SKILL is to rap artist/MC.

Vocalist arent expected to write everything as long as their sound is authentic. (remember Milli Vanilli?) Rapper/ MC&#039;s are expected to write everything because THAT IS their authenticity.

To see an example of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/suedepage&quot;&gt;a real artist/ producer/ vocalist and graphic designer&lt;/a&gt;.

<description>what good... i was surfing the internet and saw your link... i know that you have more important things to worry about, but im a lyricist from nj. I&#039;ve been told that I make hot songs. but rather then lookin for a deal, im more interested in becoming a ghost writer... so if you have any free time, can you let me know how i would go about getting started on a ghostwriting career? if not, then thanks anyway for taking the time to read this.</description>

<description>thats what i hate about the industry, all the bull**** see as a musician myself, i make my own beats, write my own lyrics, spit my own vocals, and sound engineer my own tracks. everyone now a dayz is all put together and dont get me wrong, thers alot of great SOUNDING music but no one seems to be authentic anymore. the photoshoots and music videos are all rented, you see these people with nice things when they cant afford and/or dont have any of that kind of stuff, u see these people with great looking models and they dont even know these people. the media is so screwed up with the things they act to be but are not. its all entertainment, and what you would call watered down, how does someone authentic make it big in the industry without haveing there producer or label make them out to be someone else? what is it going to take to bring REAL people to the plate? this i dont think you can answer, but i appreciate you reading and taking the time, for this i thank you</description>
