as a dutchman, grown up in the hardcore/gabber/rave scene of the '90s, i can sincerely say: KILL THE DAMN MC!

I'm with the Dutch guy - I never met an MC yet that I had a use for ('cept Keyes when he's working with Ben X-Treme, of course). They're parasites getting a free ride on the back of the talent. "Spittin' it"? More like "shittin' it"
