93: Higher Infinite Power

Plantation Stud Policies and the Evolution of the MC

Referencing Judge Joe Brown, Mo Facts describes a plantation policy where slave masters used "studs" who were also preachers to demoralize other enslaved men. He draws a parallel to modern "buff rappers" like LL Cool J and 50 Cent, suggesting they represent a continuation of this physical and charismatic archetype. Mo argues that black preachers were the original MCs (Masters of Ceremonies).
