Ask mc chris

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the his-backpack-doesn't-actually-have-jets dept.

Many of you are no doubt familiar with the works of mc chris. He's probably most well known as the high pitched rapper on the track 'Fett's Vette' that you probably have an MP3 of somewhere. In addition to several highly entertaing albums, he's also the voice of MC Pee Pants (Aqua Teen Hunger Force) and Hesh (Sealab 2021). He's now touring, but you better already have tickets since he sold out his first 8 shows (including my local venue. The wife is very unhappy with me for not getting tickets in time). He'll also be performing at the Penny Arcade Expo later this year. This is your chance to ask him those burning questions. Standard Slashdot interview rules apply: Ask here, and we'll pick from the best of them and then wait patiently for Chris to bless us with his words.

    Why is it that MC Pee Pants gets absolutely no respect from Satan, whereas the WisdomCube/Dubmassahedron does? To me, MC Pee Pants, while not as intelligent as the aforementioned geometric characters, is vastly more entertaining than that lot.

  2. Hey chris... this is NOT how PAX will be... by (PA)Storm+Shadow · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Hey there chris... Stormy from penny-arcade.com here. Being an internet celebrity isn't as easy as it seems. I know; I have to live with people everyday that don't realize who I am. Just wanted to say that Slashdot encompasses a much wider sub-set of geeks than I believe PA does, and this group is not representative of our crew. At PAX, women will want to have sex with you, and men will want to be you. We are down with the Nerdcore.

    That said, in addition to mc chris, we also have returning guests from last year:

    MC Frontalot

    Optimus Rhyme

    and the Minibosses

    Lastly, a couple of questions from me.

    1)My girlfriend is a *huge* fan of the Brak Show, Sealab, etc... have you really left for good?

    2)Making music for the Nerdcore seems problematic to me. Namely, I don't think that one would be able to put forth a bunch of intellectual property on the internet and expect this group to actually pay for it. Are you 'making it' on the take from the door at your gigs alone? (Hat's off on leaving your day job and giving it a go in either case).

    3)Do you feel pressured to put forth a conventional full-length CD for your fans, or will you continue to offer up shorter, sweeter groups of songs for free on your website?

    Thanks, and see you at PAX!

    Stormy
