Nerdcore!

I think it's high time we all listened to the stylings of MC Frontalot, who claims to be the inventor and sole practitioner of Nerdcore Hiphop (wait, what about e=MC Hawking? Hey, MC Frontalot is totally fronting...). Like these nice English people say:

Progenitor and still sole practitioner of Nerdcore Hiphop, MC Frontalot is, was, and remains the MC who "fronts the most."

His past is a murky vision of Americana: women in overalls, rural agriculture, and the sort of barely-legal amphetamines favored by the trucking industry. In 1997 his story becomes public as MC Front steps fresh-faced off the Greyhound in San Francisco's North Beach and is immediately hired as a transvestite stripper.

Tragedy befalls Front in the final moments of the millenium when a major downturn in the City's sex industry forces him to pursue a long-dreaded career in rapping. Subsisting on his innate ability to front and bust rhymes, Front has slowly built the infinitesimal internet fame and non-existent local following which he enjoys today.

I particularly direct your attention the the fine song "Bragodoccio". Yes, that super-phased voice in the background of the chorus really is saying "now it's time for a little bragodoccio/while I swing my arms like Ralph Macchio." (Note: John wants to point out that the technical term for this type of non-rhyme is "dumbssonance.") Still, the greatest nerdcore hiphop track ever is e=MC Hawkings "What We Need More of is Science".

MC Chris' "Fett's Vette" is also very fine.

Mad respect. MC Hawking's "What We Need More Of Is Science" kicks so much righteous butt that it may even become a nerdcore-hiphop breakout/crossover sensation. No?
