The ability to guide without controlling, to create the best context, to be flexible, and to make the crowd move is found in both the black church and in hip-hop. Rappers, who are often described as the teachers of the hip-hop generation, are referred to as MCs when they have demonstrated that they have the ability to teach. To MC or move the crowd is to be able to share information, spark thinking, invoke dialogue, and keep an audience engaged.
