MC
=========
The hip-hop spirit is not seen as an agnostic or atheistic one, and the fact that Morocco is a Muslim country has meant that MCs will generally avoid cursing or describing girls with negative words.
What does "MC" stand for?
Thanks in advance.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I didn't use this reference for this acronym because it is well-known, but here is a link for finding the full names behind acronyms for future reference. HTH. :-)

: Even if this is a neologism, it seems to me much more in the right spirit and register; remains to be seen just how widely-accepted it actually is...

I think it's a case of language that you find in dictionaries vs language that's spoken on the street; in this context anyway it fits

Reference comments
noun
MC
1. Probably Jamaican, in which case it comes from the TV game shows, Master of Ceremonies (although the term existed before TV). It was the only person at a gathering that was allowed to use the microphone. Could also stand for Microphone Controller, Mic Checka. The term, MC, stand for Master of Ceremonies --- A Tribe Called Quest (Midnight Marauders [1993]).
2. MC, (or Emcee) a skilled rapper. True MCs use skills that are often ingnored in hip hop today. These skills include wordplay / punchlines, metaphors, similies, multis, flow and switch ups. To the party people out there, we want y'all just to know that we are the four MC's and we are the star of the show -- Afrika Bambaataa Zulu Nation Cosmic Force (Zulu Nation Throwdown) [1]
