Emceeing and Deejaying Another element, emceeing or rapping, which seems to be getting the most attention in the media due to the fact of radio and video air play, is an artform which consists of saying rhymes over the beat of music. It's roots come from the Jamaican art form known as toasting. As time has progressed, a thin line between emceeing and rapping emerge. When rapping, you can just babble. Emcees on the other hand, are the masters of the ceremony, the one who's in control.
Rappers just talk about anything.
Reno Powerz of A.A. said. An important supplement to emceeing is deejaying, the manipulation of a record by using turntables as an instrument. You can listen to other music and incorporate that into your style. You can watch other DJs and take a trick from them and add your own trick on top of it, and then you can twist it around, make a new thing out of it. Stuff comes by accident.
