The geeky side of hip-hop: Nerdcore Rising
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.
