MC Storm was invited @ Hullabaloo multiple times, alone or with Hixxy. He set the place on fire when I saw him there in 2004! There are some pretty good Canadian MC's, my favourite being MC Gobstopper, a.k.a. Gobz The Zombie.
Unfortunately, MC's are an Anglophone thing, and french canadian ravers here in Quebec never seem to really appreciate them... Maybe it's because a lot of them don't really understand what the hell they're saying :P

You see that's just normal to us. Americans are very different to English when it comes to that kind of thing.

never too late for you to move there now.
and yes i remember MC Gobbstoppa he never overdid it in the hullabaloo mp3s that I have. He was just pretty chill
Well i don't know how the other Americans really feel and think about the MCs but for me I see it as trying to take a kitchen stove with you when you go camping. It's unnecessary and excessive, and you can easily survive without one.
I'd like to hear what the Aussies think about MCs. could someone please fill us in on the feeling of MCs?

I personally like MCs, but hardcore just doesnt have many good ones.
Odyssey is fantastic when he is MCing on a freeform set! Storm is good at getting the crowd hyped and I quite like Smiley and Casper sometimes.
Whizzkid is really annoying i find....the beatboxing is gash, and he has got a very weird voice. Plus his only good rhyme is the:
'I remember as a young kid growing up,
You were my friend when things were getting tough.
Why did the lord take you away?
I ask that question each and every single time I pray.
So I, close my eyes, and picture you near,
Reminissing on times when skies were clear,
And in my memory I can hear you laugh,
And in my dreams I relive the past,
I feel free at last!'
Im not a lover of alot of the new 'breakthrough' MCs, they just all sound too generic and just annoy me tbh.
If you are going to be an MC, you need to be able to hype the crowd, have some good meaningful lyrics and know when to shut up. I hate MCing over vocals, as soon as an MC does that once....he drops massively in my estimations. I heard Whizzkid do it a couple times and then the beatboxing started too.

i haven't liked him for awhile he is so obnoxious! and MC Casper was also in that lineup. I personally don't like MCs from what i've heard in albums (true hardcore) and videos of events. never been to an event that i recall with MCs. if anything, the DJ should be the one to be the MC, throwing a little something out there every now and then. If a DJ truly needs an MC to hype up a crowd, then there is something wrong with their mixing. I see using an MC more of as a disguise for talentless mixing.
God I hope that Brisk doesn't have one at Future Fest in Austin coming up. haven't been to a rave in 9 years, and i would hate for me to have a bad experience because the damn MC won't stfu
and eminem??? hell no keep him where he is
regular attendee of hardcore events are we? lol
mate, storm ****in tears it up nower days, was never a fan of him, was always a huge critic but after hardcore weekender where he rocked it all weekend, storm is the ****in boss man!
Wotsee, static, enemy & keyes are also masters of the mic

Agreed Storm was wicked at the weekender and he always does a good job at hyping up the crowd. Im also a fan of Whizzkid and Wotsee. As long as the mcing aint too loud and overpowers the music I aint got a problem with it.

I like most MC's. I do prefer Whizzkid over Storm - but know more of Storms rhymes. I did actually enjoy MC Wotzee whilst at the Harcore Heaven weekender. He just flows really well and comes out with some great stuff.
Personally I think they should vary some more of the lesser known MC's with more of the well known DJ's just to see how they work as most of the lesser known DJ's dont get the better MC's.

Think about it this way.
You listen to British music. Not American.
American/Australian/Canadian produced hardcore is still UK Hardcore

mcing over vocals is bad, really bad, but to have that reaction after ONCE hearing mcing over vocals is the sort of problems im talking about....do you know when words come in to EVERY track possibly played? i spend SO MUCH time just listning to songs and mixes so i hopefully can recall on memory when to go no matter whats on, this also helps with just being able know certain producers and make educated guesses. but common...its ****in impossable to NEVER mc over vocals...
its when the MC just keeps GOING over the whole thing oblivious to the fact that there is vocals, that it becomes in-excusable. being able to stop your self, and save what your saying and let the vocals take over is extreamly hard. Some MC's are really bad at even this even though they are aware they just messed up (the worst is appolagizing to the crowd)
you wouldnt stop listning to a DJ after one bad mix or beat match slip, so have the same standards for MC's as well, and producers, promoters for that matter

could not dis agree more. first what if i call it Happy Hardcore (i dont) what about ausicore or japcore(if you believe these exsist)? and maybe theres no canadacore but i know producers that come up with stuff thats quite a bit different from british stuff or ausi stuff, and this is if you even catagorize hardcore into nations like its sports or something, like traditionally canadas better at hockey, but that doesnt mean russians play "canadian Ice hockey does it?
art should be product of the maker not where they came from
i listen to HARDCORE BABY! and i leave it at that
(oh and DUH yes people are influenced by british artists its biggest there and most top producers are there [insert angry aussi fan comment here]. i figure this goes without saying but i bet someones thinkin it)

That is what I was meaning lol. Not if they just do it once by accident. I mean when they just keep going and going

The term "happy" hardcore usually refers to "UK" hardcore. Just like Gabber usually refers to "NL" hardcore. A few years ago the differences between the two were very small. Same with Canadiancore and Japcore.
There is definitely some good Canadian stuff that has been produced. See Hujib and I believe Frisky is also Canadian. Speaking of Canadians I miss D-Minus.
Today it's AU vs UK. The differences are getting bigger. I used to like AU stuff but I don't really care for it anymore.
Japan.. what happened? Where did it go? There were a few releases on Rave N Beats Japan and I haven't heard much "happy" stuff from Japan since.
