noun; Ehm-Cee. Derived from the original abbreviation "MC," [now] used as the generic term for anyone who speaks over a beat, or performs songs that could be termed "hip-hop." Afrika Bambaataa and his [contemporaries] at the Universal Zulu Nation were the first to exemplify this term. [Originated] as a term for the only [individual] at a party who could speak on the microphone while the DJ (Disk Jockey) was looping the hook or the beat. Various individuals claim that MC stands for the following: 1: Master of Ceremonies, generally the speaker presiding over a formal gathering, or the host of a Jamaican gameshow. 2: Move the Crowd. Originally proclaimed by the legendary emcee Rakim (of the group Eric B. and Rakim) on his 1986 urban hit "Eric B. Is President;" to Rakim, an MC was any rapper who was able to control the crowd that he was presiding over. 3: Microphone Controller. 4: Mic Checka Et cetera.
