In the words of KRS-One and other various legends...
"an emcee is not only a music artist but also an ambassador to the culture which is hip-hop. Representing hip-hop to the fullest through talents which spread way beyond 16's and hooks".
"now a rapper is a dude who has flow but what he represents is corporate interest. He may know as much about the hip-hop culture as Bill Cosby does the emo"
"an emcee can be a rapper, but a rapper can never be an emcee"
If you had to place certain people within hip-hop as either rappers or emcee's especially in today's market then who would be in what? Is Kanye West an emcee? Is Lil' Wayne a rapper?
