MC'ing in the crowd

[Dustin]

I think it is generally agreed upon here that jungle drum and bass is best with an MC when the MC plays a minimalist role in the performance, not a star one.

That being said, what do you guys think of a group of MC's actually down on the dance floor, toasting and crooning over dnb that isn't ragga jungle? I experienced this recently and wanted other opinions.

fixed...

this happens at dubwar all the time. Jukali has a wireless mic and roams around the whole building. I think it's pretty neat.

I approve the MC in the crowd thing.

[ben freeman]

Jukali knows how to let the music do the talking, unlike almost all the DNB mc's I've seen...In fact, the MC's are what almost always keep me from seeing big drum and bass djs anymore, they can get really annoying, except for a select few.

my favorite MC in the world is SGT Pokes. He throws in some of the funniest quips ever "rollin out like persian rugs!" lol

I've actually purposely broken a microphone or hid the cables so I wouldn't have to hear some retard rap off-beat and repeat the same phrase 839274982349872398472983473423984289734987234 times.


No matter how good a MC can be I can only think of that douche bag that toured the Moonshine of America deal. It was beyond terrible.

That said...I can tolerate some MC's for little periods here and there but only if they are not dominating the sound or irritating everyone in the room.

Damn dude that's pretty harsh. I usually like to employ the progressive volume reduction move. I would kill to see a DJ banging a mic against a wall before his set just to block an MC.

I only know about Sgt Pokes from that one Loefah track (was it "Mud"?)

MC Navigator! ROFL

[DaJ]

mc's who are known only as involved with dnb make me instantly suspect they blow. otherwise, they'd be doing their own thing. with that said, i don't care where the mc is standing physically, as long as they don't suck.

[dubsteptim]

its about TASK

[ben freeman]

Messinah comes to mind as one of the most annoying Mcs on the planet.

i thought for a second it was possible to accomplish mc tasks, and grow as a lyracist.
however the prjudice of the board broke my will.
i changed my name from 5l1mm, to mc kuntakintae.
and i only spat really quietly weare massah couldnt hear me.
then i moved out of baltimore.

ps: passing the mic back and forth among friends and peers enhances the music experience, and makes it more fun.

there are perhaps too many purists, and they dont believe in fun.

I don't think it was mud, that tune is instrumental. though I can't think of a specific one that loefah made that had pokes on the vocal. I know mala made one with him called Guilty.
