The geeky side of hip-hop: Nerdcore Rising |
Ó
Nerdcore hip hop and geeksta rap. Hip hop music about nerdy topics (like soon-to-go-to-space Stephen Hawking and relativity) and geeky topics (like Star Wars, computers, the Internet, and video games). While we enjoy the lyrics of MC Hawking (with songs like "The Big Bizang")...
I explode like a bomb. No one is spared. My power is mass times the speed of light squared. (from "E = MC Hawking")
You ever drop an egg and on the floor you see it break? You go and get a mop so you can clean up your mistake. But did you ever stop to ponder why we know it's true, if you drop a broken egg you will not get an egg that's new? (from "Entropy")
...the geeks of QJ have to bow before MC Frontalot who coined the word "nerdcore" and whose "Penny Arcade Theme" warms the heart:
nerd-ho! warm the mic up (yo) we 'bout to strike up
this band of nebbishes who cultivate nebulous fetishes
the FPS, RPG or MMPOG, any obsession to blather over by blog
or BBS. Step and possess, hone thy geekishness
your frame rate and frags to date both impress
Pure genius. "Nerdcore Rising: The Movie" is a documentary of nerdcore. It features MC Frontalot's first major US tour as well as interviews (including Weird Al Yankovic, who was instrumental in the creation of the nerdcore scene).
Finally, let's thank the geeks and nerds. We wouldn't have computers, consoles, and video games if it weren't for them.

lol like to see were this gets very new thing
I do like all's nerdy song but come on. mc chris has been doing this stuf for years. He in all rights is the king of this franchize. For the less knowlageable people mc chris is the voice behind some of cartoon networks best charectors. Like hesh, mc pee pants, brack he is just awesome.
mc chris and his Fetts Vette on Sealab 2021 could be credited with making the trend known to many people. But you could trace the influences of the sound to many groups and artists of the 1990s.
Any time Weird Al says something, you can pretty much bet he's making fun of someone. For him to say this is a 'valid genre' ... It's so obviously NOT to him.
This is a bunch of wanna-be nerds trying to earn some easy cash being dorks. It'll disappear soon enough.
But MC Chris is cool.
...those guys are homosexual.
