“nerdcore could rise up…”
- mc frontalot, nerdcore rising

first off, allow me to preface this by saying i get asked “what is nerdcore?” A LOT. my answer has ranged from long-winded to my now short definition: “technologically conscious hiphop.” in reality, sometimes when i look at my definition i realize that it is incorrect because in someone’s eyes, nerdcore is representative of comic books or anime, and has nothing to do with technology.

the first company i founded was digital gangster enterprises, llc, an ambitious production company that threw raves and club events in the colorado springs area. i have always lived by this digital gangster mentality, seeing it as the oxymoronic but appropriate blend of a gentleman like myself. i am a computer criminal - a web graffiti artist - basically taking the essence of hip-hop and gangster culture and integrating it with the new society. making money, making music, ensuring that the message of the downtrodden geek who made something of himself against all odds are all part of my mantra, and it reflects in my lifestyle.

i think that nerdcore deviates very little from “regular” hip-hop - the only difference that i really notice is the present-day relevence of it. everyone these days has a myspace and is using some sort of device (like a cell phone) that a nerd conceptualized and actualized. i believe that if people understood this more, they would be much more receptive to the idea of nerdcore and what it offers.

anyway, comment and be heard.
