Me and my friend got in an arguement on whether Wayne’s an Emcees, or a rapper. I said he’s obviously a rapper, he said he’s an Mc, what is he???
Rapper: Some body, who rhymes about himself, How much bling he has, how fresh he is, mostly raps about himself. Example Young Joc
Mc: Somebody who speaks for the community, Who’s talking about issues going on right now, rhymes about stuff average people can relate to. Example: Talib Kweli

I really think wat so cool about Weezy an alot of other rapperz (eg TI),and wat makes them so good iz that they are a little bit of both, you know. He iz more of a defined ‘rapper’ though.

Lil Wayne is a rapper………i know you have your definition of a rapper & an MC, so i figured i would elaborate on the differences between a rapper and a MC:
-a MC never bites
-MC’s have respect for the old school
-MC’s are politically and socially aware and they can incorporate that into their lyrics
-MC’s dont need alot of promotional and marketing hype to be admired or considered great
-A MC doesnt have to get too personal to win a battle
…….on the other hand
-Rappers often bite off of those who came before them
-Rappers dont respect the old school (rappers who came before them)
-Rappers are only about getting paid
-Rappers are politically and socially unaware..the result-ignorant lyrics
-Rappers need alot of video and marketing hype to be recognized
-Rappers cant battle without getting personal
