What does 'MCA' mean?

[MrPerfect]

Does anybody know what 'MCA' means? also does AdRock have any meaning to it? I've been kinda curious for a while what MCA means. Anybody know?

Thanks in advance.

[OnLy4ThEbBoYs]

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

im guessing MC Adam and Adam-Rock :confused:

[Lindsey_1535]

Thanks in advance.

That was odd, I don't know what else to say

[MrPerfect]

Sweet! thanks for the fast reply's! (y)

I still gotta say MCA has the coolest name out of all 3. Even tho Mike D really isn't anything special. But for some reason just because it's Mike D, it sounds awesome, lol.

Just like if I called myself Bobby R, LOL. That would sound totally lame. *sigh* I just love how the Beastie Boys can turn something lame into something completley awesome.

The King AdRock is a cool name too. But I gotta go with MCA because he's also got the coolest voice out of all 3 and my favorite Beastie Boys :D

[cosmo105]

Mister Crotch Attacka. trust me.

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

yes trust cosmo.. she knows (y)

dude.. i tottaly said that answer before that dude did.. then he went back and edited and once again i look like an asshole. surprise! surprise! :rolleyes:

[Lindsey_1535]

what did he have written before?

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

i think it might mean like mc adam

and then i come up here kickin the full ka-nowledge of the names and shit and right after that he goes and posts the other shit and makes me look like a jackass :mad: in the words of the late, great Rodney Dangerfeild...
"NO RESPECT!" (n)

[Lindsey_1535]

Thanks in advance.

I always thought it was pretty self explanitory

[Praying Mantis]

I honestly can't believe that we are debating what MCA means. If you dont know what MCA means you shouldnt be allowed to post on the board. Check the Frequent posts b4 dumb shit like this hits the airwaves!!

[Spacializer]

well the D is for drakes, and if you say King Adrock the it might make more since.

basically RUN DMC came up with the title and then ADDY kinda spoofed it with his name being adam and all, see back in the day it was a big deal that rap would last so they had to give themselves titles, and what better way to do it thanto challenge Elvis aka the king of Rock. later on when raop was doing well it was redundent to call yourself teh king of rap, but the fresh prince and mc hammer didnt really battle it out to steal prince character, but oh well. you know like michael jackson made MTV call him the King of POP, and then he went out and married Presleys daughter, and bought the beatles.

i guess LL has the best JEWelery, and quite possibly the crown.

who do you think should be the "KING OF RAP"?

[FloorK]

Well the Beatsie Boys get new fans all the time and they're curious. I do agree they'd need to learn to check out FAQ's!

[meniri mca]

where the hell is yauch? he must answer this question.

[KevG]

Mic Controller Adam... again

[Beastieluver1]

I agree with many people that MCA is answered in his song "Year and A Day', but people said we needed Yauch to answer this question, but we need Yauch to get Horovitz on here and have him tell us.

[Leonie]

Y-MCA or KingAcidRock.

Its some stupid but its the first thing what there in my mind. :confused:
I also thought YMCA at the first time I heard MCA :p

[chrisd]

"Well I'm the M - C - Adam Yauch - a in the place to be..."

[BeaSTiezRaWk!]

Mister Crotch Attacka. trust me.

woah! you guys are funny!

[adis]

Yeah, agreed. Yauch needs to be asked when he gets on here.

But what confuses me even more is what or who Mario C is.. I used to think Mario C was their name for alfredo for a while for some strange reason. So, anyone.. who is mario c ?

[Praying Mantis]

BEASTIEMANIA.COM

[Fiorucci99]

Yeah, agreed. Yauch needs to be asked when he gets on here.

But what confuses me even more is what or who Mario C is.. I used to think Mario C was their name for alfredo for a while for some strange reason. So, anyone.. who is mario c ?


ok here it goes;

MCA means MCAdam...nobody thought of that yet??? yea and anyway, mario c is their longtime producer and friend. He is actually in the Sure Shot video....

[BeastieBoy427]

I also thought YMCA at the first time I heard MCA :p
I didn't think of it until just now when u said it

Oh cool.. thanks dude. I kinda figrued Mario C was the producer / sound guy cause there are so many references to him about sound.. but I got side tracked with alfredo. Thanks for clearing that up yo.

[graditude]

i think it might mean like mc adam
and adrock could be like adam rock like he rocks but that might be stretchin it but im pretty sure about the mca one
thats what i figured

[Fiorucci99]

Oh cool.. thanks dude. I kinda figrued Mario C was the producer / sound guy cause there are so many references to him about sound.. but I got side tracked with alfredo. Thanks for clearing that up yo.

hey no problem dude. Glad I could help :)

[TimothyHorrigan]

Does anybody know what 'MCA' means? also does AdRock have any meaning to it? I've been kinda curious for a while what MCA means. Anybody know?

Thanks in advance.

It means everything everyone else has already mentioned. But I think the original inspiration was WMCA, a venerable AM radio station in NYC which has had a variety of formats over the years.

[SILVERBEASTIE]

I've just seen what it takes to get a good feedback from a thread...make it as dumb as this!! ;) ;)

[im_country_mike]

Master of Ceremonies Adam

yep ur rite, people get confused and think MC its mic control, understandable but as a self taught MC myself, MC Streetlight with my DJ, DJ doorknob, i kno the spitting lyrical g unit vocab

[SILVERBEASTIE]

What a load of hoo haa!!

[roni]

i learned what mc meant from mchammer! i think he was on oprah and she asked him what mchammer meant and he said mc is master of ceremonies and he chose hammer because he pounds hard like a hammer or something cheesy like that. but he meant it in a tough guy way, not a pervert type way.... anyway, yeah...

[GrndMasterRemix]

bbbfffgggrrrtttssss

[IDIOTSVILLE]

bbbfffgggrrrtttssss

Your such a prat

[GrndMasterRemix]

a prat? what does that mean?

[timmie]

MCA!

MC= 'Master of Ceremonies'! & the "A" = 'Adam', hence MCA!

[Extra Cheese]

MASTER OF CERIMONIES is so 70's.


so are the rest of the words you just "translated" so it all fits.

[Extra Cheese]

The title emcee means master of ceremonies. some people who emcee don't know what this term means,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[IDIOTSVILLE]

a prat? what does that mean?

P = Personal
R = Rat
A = And
T = Twat

[IDIOTSVILLE]

just kiddin'

[Raina]

MC(Master of ceremonies).......that always sounded cool to me for some reason, "I am the Master of Ceremonies!!!" Sorry, I'm a bit hyper at the moment.

[YoungRemy]

Yea, if your a wedding dj, your "mc" is the master of cerimonies but in the hip hop world, its plain ol "MIC CONTROLLER". I have heard it in a million rap songs.

I dont ever recall hearing rappers calling themselves "masters of cerimonies" in thier songs. why? because theyre "mic controllers."

.

you just missed extra cheese quoting Midnight Marauders, where they flat out define mc on the album

[Extra Cheese]

Yea, if your a wedding dj, your "mc" is the master of cerimonies but in the hip hop world, its plain ol "MIC CONTROLLER". I have heard it in a million rap songs.



I dont ever recall hearing rappers calling themselves "masters of cerimonies" in thier songs. why? because theyre "mic controllers."



listen, if you want some history of rap, I suggest you contact my boss at fever records. He was there since the begining.........wayyyyyyyyyy before the beastie boys. He will tell you how it went down.







believe it or not, there was a book printed in the late 80's with hip hop definations. look it up there if you wish. it was written by a rapper, too.


LOL. :rolleyes:



all the way up here is my reply. up high going over things










































































all the way down here is your head.

you can go ahead and claim supreme hip-hop knowledge along with your boss at FEVER RECORDS (y) (y) :D :D (!) (!) (lb) (lb) its not something i concern myself with.

FEVER RECORDS, (!) (!) (!) (lb) (lb) (lb) :) :) :) (y) (y) (y) which at the end of the day fever records is absolutely nothing. sorry to burst your bubble.

[Extra Cheese]

like i said, sorry to burst your bubble :( :( :( :( :( :(

your replies show how weak you are when it comes to hip-hop

[cj hood]

have you seen krush groove.........fever was the predecessor to def jam.........no fever, no def jam, no beastie boys.......dissin the fever is dissin the old school rap movement......can't know the future unless you know the past...

[miss soul fire]

Sweet! thanks for the fast reply's! (y)

I still gotta say MCA has the coolest name out of all 3. Even tho Mike D really isn't anything special. But for some reason just because it's Mike D, it sounds awesome, lol.

Awww, you're sweet!:o

[Extra Cheese]

again i apologize for bursting that bubble of yours.

FEVER RECORDS!!!! (lb) (lb) (lb) (lb) (lb) (y) (y) (y) (!) (!) (!) . lol....please that shit is wack. acting like you work for jesus.

look, i already said it you're weak when it comes to hip-hop. dont get mad over it though,,,,who cares?!?!?!? no one cares that you dont know as much as you think you do. its no big deal really,,,,,, leave hip hop alone and take up knitting or stamp collecting you might do better with that. but theres no need to get mad that you're limited when it comes to hip hop... seriously, cheer up!

FEVER RECORDS :eek: :D (y) (lb) :) (!) :D :eek: (y) AKA Heaven on earth!!!

[YoungRemy]

midnight mirauders?


what year were they big in?


HaHa are you fucking serious??

that is an album by a little group called A Tribe Called Quest??

do you need me to tell you what year they were big in??

[cj hood]

hood, you amped for the big show or what?

last time i was this excited is when i ordered Rapmania in '90....

[PaddyBoy]

yea, this will show peeps how strong Fever still is in the rap world today.

What show?! Are you two keeping secrets! Do tell.....

Extra Cheese, you're making a fool of yourself. If someone has more knowledge of hip hop than you, just admit it. Remember Adrock's T-shirt in SWW video?

[YoungRemy]

Bro, I know. I was being sarcastic.

but why?

you said you havent heard of any rappers using the term "master of ceremonies"

but then in that album they do...

so how do you explain it??


how about this, people, maybe no one is wrong and it means whatever each individual rapper wants it to mean...

obviously, unless GUIDO KING hangs out with MCA we will never be able to "prove" anything.

but Tribe says master of ceremonies,

[Lex Diamonds]

I dont ever recall hearing rappers calling themselves "masters of cerimonies" in thier songs.
Off the top of my head...

Naughty By Nature - Holiday
Canibus - Get Retarded
Illmatic - Rage Against The Machine
Jin - So Afraid
Cannibal Ox - Real Earth
Cannibal Ox - Stress Rap

J-Live - Epilogue:
"If you ask me, it's much more than Master of Ceremonies
Because a lot of Masquerading Cornballs
Don't realize it also means Mad Creativity"



OK, so not all the greatest of artists but those are the ones I can recall right now. There are many many more. I remember the Beastie Boys themselves saying it once, I'll try and search that out for ya. (y)

[Extra Cheese]

but why?

you know he wasnt being sarcastic, he just doesnt know shit.

and padster dont bother explaining...... that guy is just lost.

[YoungRemy]

its De La Soul

[Extra Cheese]

you dont know shit. you get your hip-hop from a book of definations, but whatever personally i dont get my hip-hop from published books like you do to know hip hop, i'm sure you have nice one though, maybe a hip-hop textbook, Teacher's Edition with the answers in the back (y) or maybe hip-hop for dummies


now stop being upset and acting like a dog with rabies and just move on. go to the next chapter in your hip-hop book

[venusvenus123]

it means "must call ali"

:cool:

[Praying Mantis]

How is this thread still open. Everyone knows MCA is the Latin derivitive of an old brooklyn term meaning Walt Frazier.

[carthief]

Yauch's Mom once said it stood for 'Mister Crab Apple' because he was a fussy eater as a child. (y)

[ericg]

At first I heard/ thought it was MC8. Like denoted as... infinite, choice of. Then upon finding out it was A almost immediately thereafter, it's denotion was like, straight up right from the beginning. But, you know, that's just like subtext connotation at this point. You can all derive your own, however... That's what it means, I think.

The degree of truth to it all you enable yourself to give in terms of distilled reality, is recipricol to the truth/ mental wealth you get by let's say, osmosis, mental wherewithal and gestalt experience... Individually, there is ultimately only one way to be true to your paradigm/ derivitive of it..all like. It's funny how... huh. So you really have to be more noble to the due pragmatics... like mankind... PBS really oughtta let you know better.

And of course all electronic equitment and business comes into play as well.. mcarecords, rca... So it could just be the tightest noble elemental (generic) title there is.. EHMMM... C? And you can generally trust it like that and just let it be just that, which is nice, let's say especially if you have some kind of O.C.D.... which I find is actually always in order...

If not, then chill and be down with it anyway... just 'cause B, it's 1/3 of the Beatsie Boys, and that means, well, all the best to you figuring it out, for real!!!

That's my $.02 at least. In no uncertain terms, they've come the longest way in the shortest..., I only hope mainstream can pick up the while and make it worth... sounder than a pound of whatever really.. for ever 'n' ever.... All depends on where ya start. What's in your wallet? Is it the feigned Federal Reserve counterfeit? Or is your monetary spent well for real?


Ok alright already, I digress.
Don't you love my posts. They almost never get the chance, I swear. And Bush is president. What can I say. Oh say can you MC by the dawns early light. I'm laughing now. But seriously. What's up with it all.
"...You gotta get up awful early to fool Mr. Furley.... and you could stick your head in the toilet, give yourself a swirley. Listen up biters. Go, please stop while I'm politickin' at.... Believe what ya heard when you talk.... What the phone booth. Word to hair mousse. You're on the corner and you're selling a hog's tooth. Don't mean to dis but I gotta point out...." -OH WORD?

PS. Damn. Paris Hilton baby phat cell phone pop ups. A show where she get's her shit together and learns how to come correct every week you'ld think would almost be fultile, as she'd sadly front on having it, but how long until people stop promoting her left to her own device? Acting like money is a cure all for that type of act while the nation is fenced and scammed. Someone show her the way please. Someone show the nation please... Enable her to turn her shit around right, for everyone's sake. Like who doesn't get it already? Fucking suckers. For one of the wealthiest families in America to have children like that making huge ripples in the mainstream.... what a shame. Why don't they ever look it up? Are people really that dulled down retarded? This country/ world needs alot of attention if it's ever going to live up to it's most definite and reasonable potential. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH

Now I'm really out. Peace if you got it.

[b-girl74]

Does anybody know what 'MCA' means? also does AdRock have any meaning to it? I've been kinda curious for a while what MCA means. Anybody know?

Thanks in advance.

MCA= MC Adam I know this for sure because...

I dunno about adrock... Adam-rock? :confused:

M- Master of

A-Adam

Mike- Michael
D-Diamond

[Lex Diamonds]

M-MIC

A-ADAM

HIP HOP'S DEFINATION. TO ALL YOU CORNY WHITE BOYS, ITS THE OTHER WACK MEANING. YA HEAR ME? :D
You're an idiot. Are you an MC? Are you from the old skool, New York, '75-'83? If not, then stop trying to front like you know shit.

[Extra Cheese]

You're an idiot. Are you an MC? Are you from the old skool, New York, '75-'83? If not, then stop trying to front like you know shit.

the sad fact is that he does claim to be from the old school era and yet he knows nothing. he is limited to his book of hip-hop definations for his answers.

[marsdaddy]

When MCA says, "I ate the chicken, and then I ate his leg," what does he mean? Is he trying to settle that age-old argument by saying the chicken came first?

[Hop-Hip]

im guessing MC Adam and Adam-Rock :confused:
Yeah thats a pretty logical name,
But I was thinking Adrock as like an adverb or an adjictive? like he describes rock? lol I so kick ass. Adrhyme is a cool name too

[YoungRemy]

No, Im not wrong. Name one beastie boys song that Yauch says "MC STANDS FOR MIC CONTROLLER".
Name one.
go ahead.
prove me wrong. :)

now you are starting to confuse yourself. i thought you were arguing FOR MIC CONTROLLER. the problem is, you cant even name one beastie boys song that says either MASTER OF CEREMONIES or MIC CONTROLLER.

you really are wasting your time here, there IS NO DEFINITE ANSWER.

your explanation is not the end all be all of hip-hop terms...

as stated previously in this thread, plenty of rappers have used the term loosely over the years, and if you looked up urban slang and hip-hop terms, you find arguments for BOTH.

you just cant sit here and say you are right just because you work at FEVER RECORDS...

was there a day in hip hop history when there was an official announcemnet regarding the meaning of MC??

no

it started as Master of Ceremonies, today people use it to mean whatever the fuck they want it to mean...

Adam Yauch is probably reading this and laughing at the serious tone in which you guys argue over the abbreviation of his fucking name

[Extra Cheese]

the sad thing is that your a lil punk that just sits theres and listens to cds and you think you know everything about hip hop.


Ill tell you what, start working with people that were in the industry back in the day then try and debate me.


that just shows how much of a loser you are. you try to pass off the knowledge that others might have as your own. but as you keep on talking its easy to see that you dont know shit. you should stick to the worst music genre in the world, which is what Fever records deals with, freestlye bullshit. I'm sure you know a lot about that music. it would make sense a bullshit asshole like yourself knowing bullshit music like freestyle which is nothing but a bunch of greasy haired guys and girls who look like hookers from jersey.

loser.

[Ace42]

As Any Fule Kno, MCA standards for "Micro-Channel Architecture" - a 32-bit graphics bus that replaced ISA and was superceded by VL (Vesa-Local) Bus, and later PCI (then AGP, and now PCI-E).

Micro-Channel Architecture showed a lot of potential (having bus mastering and PnP capabilities way before the Gates Engine <tm> decided to adopt them) but fell foul of IBM's heavy-fisted corporate policies at that time.

You may now bask in the glory and wisdom of the guru.

[Extra Cheese]

wow. you're the exact replica of Arsenio Hall sucking Eddie Murphy's dick. Its funny how you latch on and ride the coattails of others every chance you get. you try to dismiss a meaning of emcee,,even though there are a million of references to "master of ceremonies" in recent music by millions of rappers,, and what do you do to back up your point? "oh i know sal bando or whatver his name is therefore i think i know shit and i'm right" that is all you do in every response "i know sal bando, i give him back rubs, fever records blah,blah,blah" you truly think knowing someone makes you some kind of expert when its obvious that you really dont know much.

you think rappers no longer maker references to "master of ceremonies"

you thought "midnight marauders" was a group and didnt know it was a a tribe called quest album.

thats all you do,,, fever records, fever records, fever records. maybe fever records is big in your little world but sorry they are nothing. there are a billion record labels who put out better music than fever records. you still think fever records has the little fame it had like 20 years ago. even back then they werent a major player

I'm sure in the 90's you were frequently called a herb

i dont even know why i respond to your lame ass... you're wack. i'm gonna put you on ignore. i dont ever want to see your posts and threads again and see how wrong you are on another subject. thats how wack you are.

Ive been lurking in the backgrounds here for quite a while and Xtra Cheese sounds like a little bitch. Yes, thats right: A bitch.

Your dissing this guy, Guido. Are you any better? I dont know but it seems like guido here has plenty of connections and knows his stuff. He met with Mix Master Mike, Brenda K starr and is in like flyn with fever records. Not to mention working with these peeps.

sure, Fever is a thing of the past. but you know what? so are the beastie boys. In case you didnt know, theyre not breaking any new, earth shattering records. But I suppose up in your little foggy world, theyre the best thing since sliced bread. but your still a punk.

all you ever do is bitch, bitch, bitch like a little bitch. why dont you get off your lazy ass and do something for us here? I give guido mad props for who he knows and what he does.


if you want to go head-to-head with me with hip hop, Im all for it. I bet I would put your ass in check, bitch.

hey extra cheese, where are you?

let me ask you something. your so quik to put down Fever and all its accomplishments and I sense your jealousy of my employment with Fever but who are you to sxay anything about them? are you some big shot record executive? are you some major artist?

No, I didnt think so. You just some sorry ass punk stuck on the western part of long island called brooklyn that has gone to hell in a hand basket and you probablly work at your neighborhood bodega and are jealous of every customer that walks in your store because they have a better life than you.


seriously, lets hear about your job. :D


WORD

[Lex Diamonds]

funny,it seems that he knows adrock personally.


now, what were you saying Pudster?
I don't give a fuck if he knows God himself. The statement stands, asshole. Just because you work in the industry doesn't mean you know more about it than the fans.

"MC" means, as told by Doug E. Fresh, KRS-One and MOST of the pioneers of rap before and after them, means Master of Ceremonies. It may be understood as mic controller now...but that's not the original term....nor do I like it. LOL!

[FearandLoathing]

Yeah, close the thread it's getting pointless.

You have to say "getting". Funny.

No need to use any insults on you, youre certainly not worth the effort.


Youre from England, correct? Care to tell me what makes you think you know anything about hip hop? I would love to hear this one.............*pulls up a chair*
Haha, what a dick. You saying that if you're not from the US you can't know about hip-hop? Don't be stupid. Unless you're not being stupid and you thought it would be real deep and insulting to pull the race (nationality) card on me. Wait, that's also pretty stupid.

Think you all need to chill out on the geography issue - but i will say this - if someone lives in alaska doesnt necessarily mean they know more about makin desserts than someone in bolivia does it?
All Im saying is if you grew up in the old school days and lived on the East coast you have a edge on the history of rap/hiphop.

I've been roaming this forum for a while. Had to join, and this is my first post. This thread HAS been entertaining. I agree that, taking into account the question that started it, it's amazing that it has gone on this long.

It would be great if we got word from the man himself and he said that it meant absolutely nothing close to anything anyone has mentioned. Just so we could ALL have a good laugh after all these months.

I DO agree with Guido, though.

For people who don't know where 'mc' ORIGINALLY came from.... A master of ceremonies (mc) is a person who directs or is the host of any type of entertainment venue. Example: Chris Rock was the MC of the 2005 Academy Awards.

'MC' was a PERFECT term for rappers to take hold of. When they would set-up on a street corner or on a stage they were in control.

Yes, there are many times that rap and hip-hop artists have used the actual term "master of ceremonies" in their lyric. But "mic control" DID become the 'slang' for master of ceremonies a good 20+ years ago.

I didn't post to try to get into an argument with anyone, so if anyone tries to get into it with me, don't bother. I won't respond. I just wanted to state some facts.



NED RULES! :D

[Thaddeus]

Off the subject.....

I can tell by reading a lot of the posts in this thread that there are A LOT of new B-Boys fans (especially the person that started this thread) in this forum. Here's something you B-Boys newbies (not meant in a bad way) might like. The link below contains 2 video interviews with the Boys. The interview was recorded only a few months ago.....

And hey, you new fans.... keep your eyes on movie theater listings in the next few months.




NED RULES! :D

[kleptomaniac]

hey, is your name ned? :confused:





















YAUCH RULES! :p

[Thaddeus]

No.

And yes, Yauch does rule!




LONG LIVE NED! :D

[kleptomaniac]

who's ned then? :confused: :o

[Thaddeus]

Hmmm. I think, judging by where you live, you should know who Ned is.






NED HATES THE FCC! :D

[kleptomaniac]

ned, the annoying kid who sits behind me in math class? :confused:




hey, who's ned for real? :o

[Thaddeus]

Let's not get off the subject here. Someone asked a MAJOR question back in April. C'mon! Mr. Perfect wants to know what MCA stands for. I think he also wanted to know what AdRock stands for. The AdRock question is maybe a baffling one (especially if you know what his first name is!). But hey, keep in mind that a lot of the fans here were born AFTER Paul's Boutique was realeased. That's SORT-OF like me being born around the time of Zeppelin's 2nd release. I didn't know who Bonham was until 3 years after he died.

Hey new B-Boys fans!! I have an exclusive!! I know what Mike D stands for!

Just kiddin you youngens. I know, that you know, what the 'Mike' stands for!




NED RULES! :D

[Thaddeus]

What grade are you in Klept? Seriously. Just asking.....

[kleptomaniac]

I know, that you know, what the 'Mike' stands for!

the mike stands for money and the d is for diamonds :cool:



and i'm in 10th grade (lb)

[Thaddeus]

I know, that you know, what the 'Mike' stands for!


Yes Klept. Mike stands for 'money'. I guess I can't fool you. :( Even Michael Diamond would agree.

AAAAAANYWAY....... Ned is a radio person. He has absolutely nothing to do with the Boys.

[JUST-IN]

Yes Klept. Mike stands for 'money'. I guess I can't fool you. :( Even Michael Diamond would agree.

Ned was for some years underwater with some Russians sending out radio signals.These signals where kept secret with Beastie Boys Music...Ned is a super radio person...... :D (y)

[Extra Cheese]

i havent read anything here since my last reply but if its still the original topic,,,

http://media.putfile.com/krs-one


just saying,,,,,,,,,,, a minute or so into that video,,,, a curveball i suppose for those who are hell bent on trying to come off as the end all be all on hip-hop.

obviously now that one board member who knows nothing and has shown his ineptness will have to go and do his research on who krs-one is since from their replies its clear that hip-hop isnt their strong point.

[Space]

yeah....whatever....it stands for

MY Cool Alias

or better yet

mic clearance ailse

[Extra Cheese]

I got to watch this interview with KRS-1 and it he is trying to explain is the "ORIGINAL MEANING" of the word with his philosophy on it trying to overide the hip-hop meaning.

Nice try, CHEESE. You get an "A" for effort.


wow, you are one dumb motherfucker!!! I knew I shouldnt have taken you off the ignore list.

dude, look, you're way off and you manage to keep on embarrassing yourself with how stupid you are. go back to you little book of hip-hop definitions, personally i would be feel like an ass if i needed a book like you do to keep up.

I sincerely hope you didnt see that clip cuz if you did see it and you came up with krs explaining the original meaning and trying to override the hip-hop meaning then you could just possibly be retarded. I mean it is quite evident that you are stupid but to that degree!!

dude, you dont know hip-hop much, i'm sure you might know something else(or not, after all you are pretty stupid). you are wrong on just about everything you have said but cheer up, you work for a corny record label that you love and thats all that matters.

back to the ignore list

[Space]

well,



DMC stands for Devasting Mic Control. :eek:

I think I embarrassed Cheese enough today. :p


"that when ya lost" - Souls Of Mischief

too bad that every definition you put up has mic controller after it has stated master of ceremonies. you just made yourself look like a stupid idiot. How the hell are you gonna try and prove that it doesnt mean master of ceremonies meanwhile the very things you reference and use as evidence states master of ceremonies everywhere. your stupidity levels have just been raised

1. MC link send redefine 207 up, 12 down
Short for master of ceremonies or mic controller

Master of Ceremonies or Microphone Controller. A rapper who is either the host of an event,,,

An MC—also spelled "emcee"—is a rapper who performs for crowds.[2] MC primarily stands for Master of Ceremonies, but has also been said to stand for "Move the Crowd" and "Mic Controller."

Im impressed at your choice of words. It just proveshow much education you lack.

It just proveshow much education you lack

your stupidity levels have just been raised even higher... are you gonna keep embarrassing yourself?


If you pay attention to the krs-1 interview, he gave the ORIGINAL MEANING, not the hip hop meaning.

you have no comprehension ability. your revisionist skills are out of this world i'll give you that. "MC, master of ceremonies or as rakim said, move the crowd" that is all he said but you want to make shit up so that you dont look like a complete ass, I can see how you dont want to look like an ass but come on, you dont have to make shit up by trying to reinterpret what he said just to not embarrass yourself.


yea, I work for a corny record label. the label is so corny that the beasties gave them props for being the first club to put the beastie boys on a stage. Cheese, when will you ever learn? I pity you. perhaps you should move out of the slums of brooklyn and seek a better place to live?.

"thats when ya lost" - Souls of Mischief,,,,,,,,,,,, yet again


the success and popularity of one entity doesnt equal the success and popularity of another. The fever club and fever records arent the same thing. since you are stupid i will explain it, the fever club got props back in the day for being a club that people enjoyed. fever records only shares the word "fever" and the owner. Again I will have to say just because I am making you look foolish is no need to lie just to not make yourself look less dumb, you will look dumb regardless so dont lie. LIE: "beasties gave them props for being the first club to put the beastie boys on a stage" i will assume you like the beastie boys, therefore you know they were a punk band and played shows as a punk band and hit the stage at punk venues before they ever hit the stage at fever look, i even took a page from your book and used the bold option to try and seem important. i believe they were at the Danceteria before they were at the fever also so stop lying.

people like eminem not his crew d12, people like public enemy not the crew young black teenagers, people like ice cube not his crew the lynch mob, people like nas not the bravehearts, people like shit from quentin tarantino not "quentin tarantino presents", people like shit from martin scorcese not "martin scorcese presents", PEOPLE LIKED THE FEVER CLUB NOT FEVER RECORDS.

lets not forget that you didnt even know the fever was a real club,, i'm sure theres others here who might remember the thread where you thought the fever club was made up just for the movie "krush groove", meanwhile you were working at fever records and didnt know.. dont think people forgot :)

Even in your lying words you said, the beasties gave props to the club not fever records. you cant even win when you're lying, what a joke. I am surprised you havent tried to revise MCA's lyrics yet to "like an MC at fever record's offices in the dj booth"

so now i got you at your keyboard all mad and upset after embarrassing you that you feel you have to dis Brooklyn, "that when ya lost" - Souls of Mischief,,,,, thats when you really, really, lost trying to dis Brooklyn. whats really funny is that you're trying to dis Brooklyn yet you are from long island. but whatever i'm not gonna dis long island

.The real definition of MC is Master of Ceremony but alot of rappers use Microphone Controller or something similar.

its nice to see you singing a new tune after finally after embarrassing yourself. you see doing a little research instead of acting like you know what you're talking about is helpful you could've saved yourself the embarrassment.

those pics are hot (even though you took the last one away) but why are
you and extra cheese acting like little kids..? :confused:

[Extra Cheese]

the fact that i get you all mad and upset, frustrated and flustered, by showing you right from wrong, fact from fiction is evident by your silly bahahahahas, that you feel you have to capitalize, your bold option usage, and underline option usage.

I never said it didnt mean "master of cerimonies", you moron. I just maintained the fact that it was called "mic controller" in hip hop where you kept blabbing about how it wasnt. I showed you proof and now you have shit on your face. how does it feel, cheese? I bet it smells good.

please. you tryed to come off as mr. hip-hop knowledgeable by saying no one in hip-hop says master of cermonies anymore. you saw the clip where krs-one referred to it as that(did you look him up? i know you wouldnt know anything about him), i gave the quote from midnight marauders(which you didnt know was the classic album from a tribe called quest) that talks about master of ceremonies. since you dont know hip-hop music you wouldnt know the countless songs where rappers refer to it as master of ceremonies. so you tried to do research to prove yourself right but you kept on coming across "master of ceremonies",, go ahead and sing that change of tune buddy.

Listen, dont try and explain THE FEVER to me. First off, there was the DISCO FEVER. that was the club Sal owned. It was shut down in 1985. Russ Simmons told sal to start his dance label and Russ soon added the Fever as the dance division on DEF JAM RECORDS.

you wouldnt think I have to being that you work for that miniscule label.

First off, there was the DISCO FEVER. that was the club Sal owned. It was shut down in 1985. Russ Simmons told sal to start his dance label and Russ soon added the Fever as the dance division on DEF JAM RECORDS.

its good to see that you now know that the fever was an actual club. good job.


i will tell you what......you should pick up Sal's autobiography when it's released. Maybe you will actually learn something about hip-hop.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Now that will be a new york times best seller, i cant even front cuz everyone in the world wants to know everything about sal of fever records. I think this book will surpass the previous records for money earned from sales, most copies sold in the first day of its release, number of consecutive weeks at #1 of the NY times best seller list, and most consecutive weeks selling at least a million copies. I dont want to jinx it but I will go as so far to say that not only will oprah select this book for her book club but that it will also win a pulitzer prize as well as a nobel prize in all categories, even chemistry.

Yo! i better reserve my copy for this work of art right now, for real. Damn why did sal whateverhisnameis put us through pain all these years but not releasing his book sooner.. thank the lord and heavens that its finally gonna arrive. sal's autobiography,, yo! the waiting list is already 200 million deep.

I mean, everyone is leaving. all you have left there are russians. the italians left. the ricans left. you can live with the russians. But try and diss long island. go ahead. what will you say about it? that were not all cluttered up like a bunch of lab rats like you guys in brooklyn? we have no crime? go ahead......I want to hear it. I always wanted to hear what people living in the slums have to say about long island.

oh boy,, i see i have to waste time by proving you wrong again, i have to show your lies again.. From this point on i'm gonna refer to you as fox news channel cuz all you do is lie and mislead.

The last census count had 213,025 puerto ricans in Brooklyn, and 74,796 in long island, and to call out your lie there isnt a mass exodus of puerto ricans heading to long island.

Brooklyn has neighborhoods like Dyker Heights and Bensonhurst full of italians who havent left. long island doesnt have any italian neighborhoods that can compare to those..

and now i have to play spokesperson for Brooklyn,,,, We here in New York City know that this is the place where everyone wants to be, you arent from New York City, you are from that place where everyone wishes and tries hard to make themselves seem like they're from New York City. Brooklyn has the neighborhoods that every New Yorker wants to live in, all the Manhattan people are moving out of there and heading to Brooklyn to neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, Cobble Hill, DUMBO, Williamsburg, Boerum Hill. even celebrities are making the move - michelle williams and heath ledger, jennifer connolly, and long time residents paul giamatti, john turturro, Steve Buscemi.

as for long island having no crime?? thats funny because all gangs with an ounce of notoriety have a formidible prescence on that awful region known as long island

"All of the nationally known gangs now exist on Long Island, where gang membership numbers reach as high as 6,000 to 10,000." -- Fight Crime: Invest in Kids News Release

nice place you got there.

long island is nothing but a shithole suburb with no culture or identity of its own that it has to try and pretend that its a part of New York City. Having fun on long island consists of going bowling 5 times a week,,, oh you crazy, crazy kids. Every one from new york city knows that long island people are straight up losers who wish they were from NYC.

dissing Brooklyn, you are funny


when hip hop was taking its roots in society, they decided to take normal words and make them "their own" with new meanings. "masters of cerimonies" was so old that it reminded many of the "disco" years so that, along with a mess of other words, were soon given new definations. masters of cerimonies was too "white"

they thought "master of cerimonies" was usless because at times, there were dozens of rappers up on stage and they couldnt all be "master or cerimonies"

thats what I said.

yes i know thats what you said, "they thought "master of ceremonies was useless" they thought it was useless yet to this day they still refer to it as master of ceremonies. idiot, even your evidence has master of ceremonies and nothing next to it says that the term is now useless, which makes your whole logic wrong which is what i keep saying.

I showed krs one refering to it as master of cermonies and like i said already i gave you the tribe called quest quote.. its nice how you dont acknowledge it when i point out your stupidity like not knowing fever was a club, like thinking midnight marauders was a group.


now, look at what cheese said:
The title emcee means master of ceremonies. some people who emcee don't know what this term means,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
come on, cheese. what do you have to say about that? are you going to say you never said that, now? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

lol,, you are such a stupid idiot. yes i am going to say that i never said that, in fact it was a tribe called quest who said it, i was quoting them. go back to doing your research and find out who a tribe called quest was, in fact just try to learn on hip-hop in general. i'll try to up;oad the mp3 where its said then maybe you'll realize its not useless and people still use it.

tribe called quest said it in midnight marauders(i hope by now you know thats not a group) but wait you said no one uses that anymore????they thought "master of cerimonies" was usless because at times, there were dozens of rappers up on stage and they couldnt all be "master or cerimonies".

the classic group tribe called quest uses it, the classic artist krs one uses it(both of who are blackmasters of cerimonies was too "white" of a meaning but wait you obviously know everything about hip-hop so you cant be wrong, right? but of course you can, just like how you lie and and are always wrong.

dickhead.

again, you idiot those t-shirts, like adrocks t-shirt in so what cha want, are about the fever club not fever records, i already told you the popularity of one thing doesnt carry over to another. when rappers and other people give props and reminisce its about the club not the label, no one is like "yo, fever records, yo thats the best shit ever"
