If you're into video games (you're here, right?), cartoons (this guy voiced MC Peepants on Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Hesh on Sealab 2021), Star Wars (his most famous single is Fett's Vette, about everyone's favorite Mandalorian, or just generally being a nerdy, socially awkward young lady or gentleman, mc chris is for you.
It's rap. But it's rap like you probably haven't heard before. Sample song lyrics:
Don’t **** with a geek, just cuz he got a gift.
You get in my way bitch you get a Vulcan neck pinch.
One night I didn’t go to sleep, up playin’ Risk.
At dawn, I won, got global dominance.
But it in the hallway it’s completely different shit.
Can’t get my locker open and my pants are always split.
Can’t seem to catch a ride, can’t ever get a date.
But in my mind 7 of 9 thinks I’m great.
I make the scene, I make believe that you all was naked,
so I wouldn't have to fake it. Just copy and paste it,
like Adobe Photoshop, Red Foreman in Robocop.
I get up on the mic and you know I won't ****in' stop.
I like Hack-n-Slash, FPS, my favorite's third person.
Shotgun blast to some brains is my perversion.
Mixin' up the herbs, weapon upgrades,
use the silencer if that shit's on fade.
Yeah. And it's not even half as good to read as it is to listen, because unlike the vast majority of nerdy rappers you'll find, mc chris has flow. Seriously. I simply cannot wrap my mouth around some of the stuff he spits, though I try.
So if you love him, say what's up, and if you don't know him yet, look him up. If you want to hear more, there should be some links at mcchris.com to his myspace and some of his songs, but you can always, as mc says, "Pirate that shit."
Did I mention how awesome it is that he actively promotes the P2P sharing of his music? Luvz luvz luvz.
EDIT: I promise after this I'll shut up, but be sure to check out mc chris ranting on Kingdom Hearts vs. Resident Evil. Just YouTube that, yo.
