Legions of young hip-hop fans are as against this as hip-hop's most fierce critics. There is a huge underground movement within hip-hop circles that against these representation. You can hear this message on tons of lyrics and rap songs produced by independent emcees. But they are fighting against a well-oiled and well-financed machine.

A good emcee will rhyme a lot of different ways. Don't limit yourself.

You can find old Jewish newspapers from Detroit that have my promotional ad in them. It was a totally insane time in my life. Paul Rudd was also a bar mitzvah emcee, you know? It was like being a local rock star in Detroit.

You can have a phenomenal booth artist and he can get in there and be a technician in the booth and it won't translate on the stage. I think that's what makes emcees emcees. Some rapper dudes are great rappers but it don't translate on stage.

A lot of the old-school artists didn’t even respect what’s being called freestyle now... any emcee coming off the top of the head wasn’t really respected. The sentiment was emcees only did that if they couldn’t write. The coming off the top of the head rhymer had a built-in excuse to not be critiqued as hard

Too many MC's take that word 'emcee' lightly They can't Move a Crowd, not even slightly.

I emcee how I feel for the moment. I'll always be influenced by Tribe, but my EP and LP have a lot of different flavors! I'll keep it vintage Tribe if Tribe decides to do another LP... which, in my heart, I'd love to do for the fans.

I'm sautéing emcees with fried rice up in the wok without the MSG and chopped celery.

An emcee is a Master of Ceremonies. If you're an emcee, and I am an emcee... I rhyme, you know what I mean? I do things for my fans that still appreciate me, let them know what's coming.

There's the shared imagery between hip-hop and comics, with some producers and emcees taking on super hero personas.

One of the things I think you need to be a good emcee is silliness. And I'm basically a silly guy.

The best way to compliment an emcee is to say his lyrics. That's how you say, Hello.

Back in the days the great emcees made singles, had great shows, won battles, had all the girls and dressed fly. That¹s what I'm about...the total package emcees.

It was funny to be an emcee, because you're so at the mercy of the club. You can show up for the weekend hoping to get the $400 - and get fired. I had to prank whoever they told me to prank.

I didn't know at the time that the energy that I was giving off was like a battle Emcee.

Food for thought, eat my words with your mind: Emcees are grapes, and grapes are crushed to wine.

Take 7 emcees put em in a line And add 7 more brothers who think they can rhyme It'll take 7 more before I go for mine And that's 21 emcees ate up at the same time.

Brandy is one of my favorite vocalists. Jay-Z is my favorite emcee outside of Biggie.

I've got to show at all times that I'm willing to tear any emcee a new asshole, at any given moment.
