people are under the impression that all "emcees" are positive
just because thy fit the definition of an emcee, now with that said
do you think it's possible to be corporate and still be a real emcee?
once again in your own words
For the preaching of the cross is to them that
perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God

Corporate emcee is an oxy moron. Corporate rapper makes sense. Not all emcees are underground though and not all rappers are corporate. Yes, there are wack mofos in the underground too (*cough* Adlib). There are MAINSTREAM emcees, because just because you are mainstream doesn't mean you are corporate.

Quote (Pensmoke) Emcees are emcees. Rappers are rappers. An emcee raps because he love to do it and to perfect his craft. Or because he has a message he wants to get out. Or even just for the love of the art. A rapper raps to get a check and/or try to get rich or gain fame. Simply put.
i know this I was just asking do you think a emcee can be what some people consider to be corporate and still be a positive emcee, the answer depends on your definition of an emcee is, i posted a thread about that also and noone answered it so i guess that why this doesn't make sense to some people i should have used a better title

[quote=Pensmoke]No, not really. The motivation behind a corporate rapper is not to be positive but to make a profit. Some people may be accused of blurring the line between the two, but I don't think so. [/quote]
truth, good point smoke

a corporate Emcee or Rapper are the people who serve the interests of certain corporations that owns them and their music and controls many aspects of their music a corporate contract based rapper or Emcee must respect and follow the contract even if the contract puts a lock on his music in general musicians must have freedom over their music but corporate musicians have many limitations and they are not allowed many things and thats one of the factors that makes mainstreem music very bad cause the music itself goes tru a corporate filter and thats why diversity lacks from mainstreem music cause nothing is experimented on and everyone focuses one thing

Simply put. i agree with what you say about biggie being "rap" not hip hop but tupac was preaching womans rights and stuff in like every song, thats why i stopped listening to the guy cos it was having a life coach lol. i think your just saying no to tupac to prove a point, you might not like him but i would say alot of his songs are hip hop

Tupac did a fuckton of hip hop. Biggie too, but IMO, to a smaller extent.
An emcee is per definition not corporate, because hip hop isn't a corporation. One can seem like an emcee, but if he raps for money, he's not really an emcee.
