DJ'S and MC's










For a number of years it has been common to use the term "rapper"  for those that  spit rhymes (rap). For many in Old School Hip Hop culture the term "MC" is prefered, (the four pillars of hip hop being DJ'ing,  MC'ing , B'Boying (breaking) and Writing (graffiti). 

There is still some debate over whether M.C. means "Mike Controller" or "Master of Ceremonies" (perhaps it can be both).

Interestingly in Jamaican soundsystem culture where Hip Hop has a least some of it roots.  In the early days, the person "toasting" over the records  was often referred to as the "Deejay" and the "Disc Jockey" was known as the "Selector".

Valentine


Saint Valentine

Valente/Valiant means worthy, courageous, strong

St. Valentine was a  Roman Bishop and martyr that supposedly helped persecuted Christians wed.

In the middle ages people believed birds paired in February

The original Christian holiday was established in 496 probably as part of the Christianising of the previous  pagan Festival "Lupercalia" Some of the ritualistic manifestations of these  festivals have survived to this day in the carnival traditions.
