What's the difference between MC and DJ?

In the definition of hip-hop music, MC is the abbreviation of "microphone controller", which means "microphone controller", that is, singer.

The definition of DJ is disc jockey (English: Disc Jockey, abbreviated as DJ), which means that a person selects and plays pre-recorded music (such as pop songs), and mixes it with a computer to create unique music different from the original music to bring entertainment to others.

Their professional work scope is different.

As one of the core figures in discos or bars, DJ's job is mainly to play discs, and organically integrate the D songs to be played in the whole place through personal skills. The songs made by a good DJ can give people a very strong shocking effect and fully mobilize everyone's emotions on the dance floor.

MC mainly calls Mai in the form of "rapper" to fully mobilize everyone's emotions and let the people on the dance floor reach the highest point of excitement.

They are different in nature.

MC is a musical style. Although MC (Call Mai) rose as a self-proclaimed hip-hop singer at first and was not qualified, it has now developed into a rap style almost independent of the traditional meaning and has become a new performance form in China.

DJ is a profession, not a musical style. DJ, the English full name of DiscJockey, can be translated into disc jockey. DJ developed with HIPHOP culture. With the development of DJ, the meaning has been completely clear. DJ is just a profession, a technical term, and its main job is playing discs.

The origin of the two:

MC appeared from 1970s to 1980s, but with the development of the times, the definition of "MC" is easily confused with other things (for example, "MC" can also mean "MC", which means host), so the word "rapper" is more common in English.

198 1 year, "DJ" officially went from behind the scenes to the front desk, and was responsible for selecting suitable music from various kinds of music for the guests. There are many different types of DJs to meet the needs of different performance occasions (such as studios or dance halls) and different audiences (such as jazz fans or hip hop fans). A DJ's performance style and skills must reflect these needs. Djs in rave parties must show more singing skills in their performances, such as remixing pop songs with electric sound to maintain the atmosphere of the scene.
