I don't think that being a gangster rapper means you're a good MC. I think Ja Rule sucks too. Being an MC is a lot different than being a rapper. Being an MC is about the lyrics, the subject matter, and the delivery. Look at some of the great old MCs (Slick Rick, KRS One, etc.).
I think that part of the problem in "rap / hip-hop" music is that too often people are merging to the two genres. Rap is a LOT different than hip-hop in the historical sense. Also, people are confusing the term MC with modern day rappers. Just some thoughts...
