also still so odd to me that ppl started phonetically spelling out the abbreviation mc. like every other time ppl shorten words but someone looked at mc and said “that’s not enough letters”

Right? I remember reading in a wedding itinerary thing who the “master of ceremonies” was and I was like “what’s that?” and my buddy said “MC”
I blame Eminem

I mean we have “deejay” as well
It just looks subjectively better/cooler, and hiphop is all about image
That being said, ive only really seen “emcee” in a music context, and MC for all other purposes, so this is strange to me

so i was curious and did a little digging. apparently mc as an abbreviation for master of ceremony goes all the way back to the 1600’s 
and “emcee” made an appearance as early as the '30s and '40s. i knew it was an older term just not THAT old
hip pop maybe, not real hip hop
I didnt mean “all about” as in all of hiphop is exclusively about image
But image, fashion, and appearance (and art) has gone hand in hand with hiphop culture since the beginning. And you cant tell me LL Cool j and his kangol hats and chains, or flava flav and his clock and chains, or slick rick and his chains and rings werent to look cool and promote an image.
I can go on for days with examples from “real” hiphop, from 80s to now

if you meant something different than the words you used then the rest of this conversation is moot as i disagreed with what you said, not what you meant

Yeah 
emphasis/nuance gets lost over text. My sentence reads different with different emphasis
Hip hop and yo-yos.
Match made in heaven.
