ha! well it always felt like an integral part of the appeal of the whole thing to me, i was surprised when i came across people who found MCs annoying and wished it was just djs playing records. MCs are still an under-celebrated, under-discussed, under-theorised part of the culture i think, considering the immense amount of verbiage devoted to dissecting beat-science and bass etc etc.
