Summary: Rapping, also known as emceeing, MCing, spitting or just rhyming, is the spoken, rhythmic delivery of rhymes and wordplay, and one of the elements of hip hop music and culture. Although the word rap has sometimes been claimed to be an acronym of the phrases "Rhythmic African Poetry," "Rhythm and Poetry," "Rhythmically Applied Poetry," "Rapping About Poetry," "Racing Always Pacing" or "Rhythmically Associated Poetry," the use of the word describes quick speech or repartee greatly predates the musical form. Rapping can be delivered over a beat or without accompaniment, yet stylistically, rap occupies a gray area among speech, prose, poetry and song.
