[@bigjune4588]

Words spoken of true master of ceremony 👌

[@omarsantana3680]

a rapper dont care about sounding like someone else or a bunch of others. rappers just want to latch on to whats hot in the moment. a true emcee fights like hell to be their own self & really that fight never ends. such is the life of a true artist. rappers are just entertainers.

[@rayvonmoore6814]

Master of ceremony

[@MichaelKaz-d5e]

Sp in my top 5 of all time , peace peace . TY for paving the way this guy a legend thanks for the music styles salute

[@dreskee8422]

I think being an emcee requires an artist entire life experience, and their grasped wisdom to guide the listener inadvertantly into their future. Being a rapper is giving divided attention to the sonic process of recording and creating lyric. 😎

[@Lovely-ff7uv]

Right Styles! I was just thinking this about Emenim. He is just a rapper. I don't even consider him hip hop. He is just a rapper.

[@jasonjohnson8418]

Emcees love hip hop, rappers are into it but they don’t love the culture. Culture is beyond fashion, cars and jewelry it’s a representation of what truly hip hop is and what it represents

Styles is making difference between todays rappers and the golden era emcees.

This old quarrel in hip hop can in fact be solved. The greatest mathematician of the last century was bad in mental calculation; he had a habit of making mistakes in this area. But what made him the greatest of the last century and one of the greatest of these last 2000 years? The depth of what he produced when he worked. In that field he was above all of the other mathematicians. What was his name: Alexandre Grothendieck. There was another great genius named John Von Neumann. Concerning mental calculation, he was way above Grothendieck and also above Albert Einstein. But no scientist would say that the achievements of Von Neumann equals that of Grothendieck and Einstein. Why? Because speed isn't what matters the most; the most important is depth. Once we understand that, we have the proof that concepts like emcee and freestyle are overrated. They are imortant but overrated. The root of those two important concepts in hip hop is a certain type of skill or sensibility that makes a hip hop artist to very easily find the good words to build meaningful sentences. It's in fact mental calculation applied to words. So, since it's totally wrong to say that to be a real mathematician one must be great in mental calculation, then it's wrong to say that to be a great hip hop artist, one must be great as an emcee or in freestyle. Many Rappers aren't great emcee or in freestyle. But when they sit down, take their pens and write on a piece of paper, what they produce is very deep. And in the crazy world we are living in, this ability is the peak of the mountain. So I am sorry to say that even the biggest name of hip hop haven't really understood their own art. Rakim (and other big names) said Eminem is the greatest but KRS said no to that. That proves that they all misunderstood something. 2pac can be the best because I don't know an american rapper who could be better than him when we talk about depth in writing. But among french rappers, I tend to think we can find a little group of artists that surpass him. For example, to me, "Cinquieme soleil" from Keny Arkana is the deepest and meaningful text we can find in hip hop (and perhaps in the music industry, simply). What this woman has written is cosmic. So things are more complex than people think. The french rap scene has really very great rappers like Soprano for example. And another point in which the biggest names are wrong is the importance of music. No human words can be as powerful as a well inspired melody, or a well inspired piano, violin, bass... play. A human opinion can be easily proven wrong but a good inspiration while playing any musical instrument will create beauty and respect forever - Bach, Mozart, Beethoven... are the proof of that. So hip hop artists must recognize that the quality of music that can be found on Vinyls, CDs... is more important than what happens during battles which are just the ego acting freely (and it's not something we must be proud of). No human voice can be more haunting than the good sound of a violin because pure beauty is eternal.

[@donsirron2085]

Tupac was a rapper Biggie was an emcee There y'all go....😎👌🏾

[@pes1972]

How about saying something meaningful?
