What exactly does "MC" stand for?
 

One of my employees asked me this earlier, but it turned out to be a racist joke at the expense of an African-American co-worker of his.
It got me wondering, though, what does it stand for?

Anyone know?

I think it means Master of Cermonies.

Seems noone else is gonna answer.
I guess I'll go with my employees punch line and assume it means "moon cricket".

it means musical ****

maybe it stands for mean clown?????

in case no one noticed, fido fan had the right answer, it means master of ceremonies.

I doubt it means "master of ceremonies".
I have yet to see a rapper that is capable of enunciating a 4-syllable word.
Then again, that would probably explain why they would break it dow to just "MC".

It does though...Although most people who MC (or em cee, as they like to put it) Don't actually know this :)

the C in MC is for crap

what a comedian

^ man read the other posts above cos we already figured it out :usehead:

It does mean master of ceremonies Pitbull...Google will tell you that. Regardless of what.. I BET THEY MAKE MORE MONEY THAN YOUR BROKE ASS DOES. AHA HATER

The person who posted this question hasn't logged in here in seven years.

We will never know if he figured it out. Riveting stuff. :drummer:

I bet he has lurked everyday though, UnRuly got him good.

It's exactly the kind of engaging material that keep people coming back to MB for more. :laughing:

MC stands for MARIAH CAREY.

Christ... Can we PLEASE ban this guy again?

you're tearing me apart lisa!

ok, i don't know what the hell's your problem but if you're going to look it up on google, MC does stand for Mariah Carey. It's her nickname in case you don't know. that's why she has an album entitles E=MC squared. MC stands for Mariah Carey and E stands for Emancipation.

this is a music site. it's never a sin to answer a thread question that's somehow related to music. duh.

But this is in the rap & hip hop sub forum. Mariah Carey is pop.

correction, Mariah is an rnb/pop singer. and rnb is pretty much close to hip hop.

In that its music, yes. By that logic Napalm Death are basically Britney Spears.

I feel we've all learned something today.

R&B stands for Rhythm & Blues. I don't know where you're getting this connection. Rap and Hip Hop usually have a steady simple beat, sampled instruments and the artist raps (not sings) over the song. R&B usually features a backing band and an artist who sings with the music. R&B has more ties with the Blues than anything else.

EDIT: Oh crap, well it looks like R&B is discussed in this forum.

Googled it. I never knew.

We should start a sticky called "Things that can easily be discovered by a 5 second Google search" for threads like this. Then we could have a single thread dedicated to berating stupidity.

Just because R&B artists and Hip Hop artists do collaborations and are both dominated by African-Americans doesn't mean that they are the same genre.

Oh ffs. Closed.
