Nerdcore! Aww yeah!
Last Tuesday, I got to hang out with “the world’s 579th greatest rapper,” MC Frontalot, before and after he performed at a Stanford concert! He is best-known for coining the term nerdcore and basically defining the whole nerdcore hip-hop musical genre. As you can tell by picture above, I dressed appropriately for the occasion. 
When a visiting Stanford graduate student contacted me with his plans to host an MC Frontalot concert at Stanford, I was ecstatic! I pledged $300 on behalf of the Stanford ACM to help pay for the concert costs (MC Frontalot’s price was very reasonable). Nerdcore culture is computer science related, right?
A bunch of other Stanford clubs also made contributions, including the IEEE, GSPB, CCRMA, Audio Engineering Society, and Hip Hop Congress.

“MC Frontalot is the nerdcorest of the core.” Just a sampling:
We deliver the hits that give the kids with the spectacles spectacular fits!
I seen one nerd foam at the mouth in his glee.
(It was me, in the mirror, rhyming, brushing my teeth.)
And now the heezy we’s off don’t babble 300 baud.
I get no error while compiling my rhyme.
I just listened to MC Frontalot on youtube. AMAZING. Easily the best music I have heard in some time. Right to the core of the nerds. Haven’t heard anything like this. New LAN party music.
That’s awesome, Russell! I’m glad to hear that you like MC Frontalot. I had exactly the same reaction as you when I first heard his music. I was in disbelief. I was like, nerdcore rap — this genre can’t actually exist, can it?
But, yes, it does indeed exist and it’s awesome. I wish you coulda’ made it to the concert. By the way, let me know if you’re ever in the Bay Area so we can hang out. Sorry our other plans to hang out never worked out.

party music can range from R&B, Disco and of course mainstream pop music like Lady Gaga .”.
