but there is just as strong a precedent or tradition to have mic men in this background roll. hardcore, jungle, garage - mcs were hosts or toasters. house (which surely is or at least has been both black and street music) has always had a totally different 'voice'. given all of the chat around funky about it being about people wanting to 'rave', i've always found the idea that 'raving' can be achieved in loafers and crisp garments quite curious, but the use of the word in this context might even be seen to relate directly to the role of the mc, and their subservience to the tracks and the dance... so i dunno, it will be interesting to see how things go in this regard... i would imagine a considerable degree of resistance amongst funky ravers to mcs coming centre stage again at raves though
but also there is the increasing probability of grime producers/mcs/crews getting into funky, drawing on it in their own productions and spitting on them, as detached from the funky scene's dances
