the “liner notes” are as follows:
dear sir/madam,
i’m all fucked up and i’m uploading this i don’t even know if it is fully mastered but i listened to it and it sounded ok so screw it
anyway this is serious business the six track ep that keeps itunes from deleting me as irrelevant
everyone who has heard it including my brother says it’s pretty awesome and he’s one of my worst critics because he’s a jock and hates nerds but i love him very much
first things first i’d like to dedicate this album to my grandpapa who passed away last july and he always told me to do it my way and so i do and it hasn’t failed me so far
also rip sean you’re forever in my heart as the nerd who left this world too soon thanks for watching over my heart and remember legends never die
this album wouldn’t be possible without elijah lucian who i met through the youtubes and he produced some banging tracks on this ep but i’m sure you can plainly hear that give the man props: http://www.myspace.com/elijahlucian
hopefully disney doesn’t sue me for i am a pirate because i didn’t clear the sample i wanted to keep it real like a pirate would oh well it will be good publicity just ask lil flip
the track production is as follows:
hardly tell - elijah lucian
i am a pirate - entity
i did it my way - elijah lucian
i hate my life - da cypha
lay down - elijah lucian
over and over - elijah lucian
i can’t spit individual thanks because i am going to leave someone out and piss them off so stc and dg i love you keep being awesome
by the time this album hits itunes i’ll probably be plastered all over g4 and the 8 bit boys and sinister six projects (lol free music) will be done so google that work and download it because i like giving music away for free i don’t know why i’m even selling music and i don’t care when you pirate it thanks for giving me and my producers money though we DO appreciate it your support is everything to us but mainly keep listening that’s all i ask also read my run on sentences
feel free to hit me up any time - i try to answer ALL fan mail because mister rogers did it and he’s one of my idols and if he can do it anyone can he was mister rogers you and i are not mister rogers he was bigger than the president

big next week coming up
friday, i leave for tampa to hang out with my best friends. it should be awesome - i am looking forward to it. i miss them a lot and it is always good to spend face time with people who care about you honestly and don’t bring drama. stc is the greatest.
on tuesday, i leave for los angeles to begin filming the new ad campaign for g4tv, entitled “it’s a nerds’ world.” myself, mc frontalot, mc lars, and del the funkee homosapien (of hieroglyphics legendary fame) have all produced little thirty second raps which will have accompanying videos to run as promos in heavy rotation on the television. we are prepped to become brand icons, i.e. the geico cavemen of the network. we also put together a sixty second posse track featuring six bars from each of us which is also epic. i am very excited.
while i am out there, i will be also filming a spot for freestyle 101 (click here), which is also pretty exciting. i will take my place among the other legends that have graced the mic, as well as talk about how stupid i am. we may be on the verge of something fantastic here - these are decadent times, ladies and gentlemen, but the truth is coming. it is indeed our world - the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud.
maybe i’ll be able to quit hustling on the internet and have an entourage and tour bus and rap full time with huge gold chains around my neck. apply within if you want to be a part of my crew and we can have gunfights outside of radio stations across the nation.
toodles!
nerdcore for life - a review
the masterpiece is completed - and it truly is a masterpiece.
i saw an advanced screening of the final cut that will be airing in wisconsin (to a sold out crowd) this weekend. the documentary is most definitely an accurate chronicling of the nerdcore genre, from its roots to the present day.
for those who don’t know, nerdcore for life (link here) is the brainchild of dan lamoureux. his experience with the nerdcore movement budded from a nerdcore show he attended in illinois, which incited a productive infatuation with the people and places involved. he spent a good two years with an incredibly capable and tenacious crew filming the evolution of the scene as it developed, resulting in a lot of great footage and stories about nerds and the music they make. they jetsetted from location to location, catching the various artists in their respective personal and professional settings, capturing the raw essence of our nerddom at its finest.
the idiosyncrasies of all the “characters” involved in the scene are depicted in a very charming fashion; each individual is showcased in their own unique and colorful right. the obvious avant-garde nature of the music itself no doubt has a bevy of avant-garde artists behind it, so there is significant entertainment value in the mere camera interaction with the people involved. everyone is incredibly articulate and humorous, which keeps the intellectual pace of the movie fluid. fellow nerdy south artist beefy serves as the primary narrator of sorts, spinning his fascinating web of tales from a hot tub with all of his clothes on. he’s the man.
dan filmed the documentary in a very third-person fashion by letting the artists do the talking and tell the history of the genre themselves. as a result, none of that michael moore bullshit is evident - the viewer is able to draw their own conclusions based off of what they see in the film. this strikes a chord with me because most “documentaries” i see nowadays are nothing but propaganda pieces filled with unnecessary innuendo. the credibility of the documentary is maintained because the people in it represent the true essence of what nerdcore is, and with the way the media spins the movement sometimes, this is a welcome, unbiased approach.
a couple things are missing from the documentary, but it is obvious with its current running time that it would be difficult to delve into the scope and depth of some of the issues not covered. the documentary is engaging as-is, and should dan decide to release a director’s cut the length of “titanic,” he really could do so.
anyway, i am pretty tired, probably rambling incoherently, but i just wanted to get this out there so you nurgas know the score. the bottom line is i don’t think a finer film could have been made, and people that don’t get it or find it riveting are stupid idiots.
hugs and kisses!
