What are the so-called MC, RB, and RAP in pop music?

R&B (Rhythm and Blues) originated in the 20th century. B.P.M is about 80 to 100 beats. The Chinese translation is: "Rhythm and Blues or Rhythm and Blues". It was originally a popular music among black people. The earliest R&B was a mixture of Bl-ues and Jazz, which was a prototype music that shifted from slower dance to rhythmic dance. R&B mainly embodies the obvious rhythm or beat. In addition, its melody is also explained very clearly, which often leaves a deep impression on people after listening to it. Due to people's superior material living conditions and the influence of retro trends, R&B has become the darling of the pop music scene. Of course, modern R&B is mixed with some elements of other music.

Rap is a type of music that was popular among black youth at that time. It is a very strange type of music: it uses the singing of human voices to replace the melody part of the music, and adds the clear and rich sound of drums. With its rhythm and catchy popular lyrics, Rap has suddenly become a favorite among young people. For a period of time, Rap was only the specialty of black singers, but soon some white bands also joined the ranks of Rap. Rap dance music has been popular since the 1960s, and many dance music works have incorporated some Rap elements. The emergence of Rap is amazing.

The MC is the person who can stir up the atmosphere the most, but this is not necessarily a black person. The original meaning of "MC" is Micphone Controller, which is the person who "controls the microphone". Therefore, many rappers will add "MC" or something in front of their stage names, such as MC Hammer, who was very famous in the past few years. After years of inheritance, MCs now need to have various abilities,

for example, they must be able to stir up the atmosphere, be able to host, rap, and improvise (free style). He is not only a performer, but also plays the role of communicator of Hip Hop culture. Therefore, the content and form of his performances can be divided into performances from different fields and genres

Types, such as East Coast, West Coast, non-mainstream, etc. Of course, an MC with a distinctive personal color can further promote the popularity of catchphrases, music and clothing. This can also be seen from the fact that so many black singers endorse clothing brands. In China

It is not easy to be an MC, because there are not that many producers in China who perform this type of performance. At most, you can watch performances at PARTY

It feels fresh, but judging from the current situation where love songs are flying all over the sky, it is difficult to activate the Rap market. It would be much easier to start with R&B.

However, currently there are very few MCs in China who can add some melody and singing skills to their works. In fact,

Most MCs still hope that everyone can start from the perspective of "play", which is the real element of black music. Only full of joy and

happiness. Only in this way can we find space to perform in the current music market where "love songs come first".
