for me mate my faves are the MC MC and Robbie Dee. Theres a mix with a I think it's ellis dee and the MC MC and he comes out with some top lyrics " hardcore soldiers go to war, ravers what you waiting for " He absolutely makes that mix great. Mc Connie is another good un but Robbie Dee and MC MC are the top dogs imo :)

imo there is/was a lot of shit mcs who actually got into the business because of who they knew but some really did have a talent and they could hype up the crowd and knew when to cut the chit chat. mc motormouth was top and so was the mc peta pan back in the day, nowadays I don`t even know if they`re still in the business, so what the standard is like nowadays, I havent got a clue.I`m oldskool;)

motormouth did a couple of organiks at leeds uni not any arks that im aware of. that would be mc rush - who wasn`t very good, definately not a lyrical master but he knew rob tyrell (ark founder) which goes back to what I said previously about knowing people in the business. Loads of mc`s were cack.

I persanally cant stand these modern day Mcs, they seem to wibble on to much about there cars, dogs & drinking in the park. JUST LET THE MUSIC PLAY.

One night me & a girlfreind (Shelley) got so fed up of them we thought one of us should take the piss & give it a go, Shelley got the short straw. This is what she said. flipflam bipbam i say wo, canneee soo whaa to ho, mtee saw my too mo.

All the chavs started putting there arms in the air like she was fantastic, took about 5 mins before some realised she wasn't atually saying anything. :D

From back in the day the MCs I liked & remember were Man Parris & Loud n Proud. Both came on now & then let you know who was on hyped you up a bit then got off.

I am still a massive fan of the original MC DJ Team 'Ratpack' :gigolo:
