Hey guys, doing some late night work, and I have been ROCKING out to some nerdcore hiphop. I stumbled onto on Pandora recently, and made a blog post about it. It's great, they talk about web designing, star wars, and motherboards among other things. Worth a listen.

Everything you need to know is at my blog link below. Thanks for looking have a good night!

What is Nerdcore? By Douglife

Sorry about using the Google Shortener, all my links will be the OG link to my blog. Thanks Dwhite for bringing this to my attention.!

I didn't know that's what it was called. Why give it a new name? I've been listening to MF Doom etc for years, just called it hip hop...

Great now a bunch of nerds will have their slacks sagging to their knees.

Hi, Douglife!
I'v never heard of that indeed, so was pretty curious to learn.Thanks a lot for the link, I'm planning to share it with my friends

@edgray - I just stumbled upon him as well, and I really like it. As far as "labeling" themselves, you know how musicians are always looking to distance themselves from the norm, be "different", ehh, what can you do? You have any more old school hip hop recommendations I'm lovin' the stuff!

@knight13 Let's hope not, although if it becomes mainstream I'm sure it will be warped by someone.

@Blake123 My pleasure friend! It's nice to listen to while working, and it's clever at times. Thanks for taking a look!

yeah I see the point behind the name now!

I listen mostly to these guys, tho most wouldn't be called Nerdcore:

Cypress Hill (Black Sunday is a serious classic)
Jungle Brothers
Buck 65
Jeru the Damaja.

@edgray I know of Cypress Hill, but I wasn't aware of the Jungle Brothers, I love it! Thanks for the tip!

Check out Danger Doom (Dangermouse and MC Doom) - they did a whole album about Aqua Teen Hunger Force which is actually very cool.
