Nerds on the Mic
By Virginia Prescott on Thursday, March 6, 2008.
listen:
MC Frontalot is the so-called "godfather of nerdcore." It's a rap genre where, for the most part, white guys rap over Atari computer game beats about Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons… and the lure of Internet porn.
A new film documents MC Frontalot and his band on a tour of the United States. The film "Nerdcore Rising" is directed by Negin Farsad and debuts this weekend at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas. Word of Mouth's Virginia Prescott spoke with both of them about race, technology, and being the Bill Gates of nerdcore.
