Emceeing came from jamaican culture
@kingofda914 Emcee battling? Which is what gave way to rapping.
@RVAReid Emceeing/MC/Master of Ceremony Talking over records came from jamaican culture. That original style in which they usually hyped up the crowd with sayings and promoted the dj's name. Those sayings started to become rhymes and rhymes eventually became raps.
@kingofda914 I understand the evolution. My question is did that evolution happen on the island (before it happened in the States)?
