MCing or rapping is where the vocal part of hiphop comes in. It's a spoken-word rhyming style that has been a main characteristic of the music since its beginnings. Its origins are uncertain: some say it came about from jazz and blues, others say it evolved from street corner discussions in poor black neighbourhoods. Either way, it has boomed over the past two decades and is now incorporated into much of the R&B, soul, gangsta, ragga, jungle and other contemporary music genres with a vocabulary all of its own. |
