Nerdcore Rap In The Press

hammeredpeon writes "MC Plus+ and others talk about their nerdcore rap skills with Wired magazine." From the article: "While gangsta rap is seen as celebrating the violence and aggression that claimed two of its brightest stars, 'geeksta' rap is a hip-hop genre celebrating coding skills and school grades. Also dubbed 'nerdcore,' this branch of hip-hop is for geeks, by geeks. Geeksta rappers adopt the same combative verbal-assault stylings of their forerunners, but bust rhymes about elite script compiling and dope machine code. The term was first coined in 2000 by nerdy New York rapper MC Frontalot in a track of the same name. Nerdcore now refers to artists waxing lyrical about topics as disparate as engineering and Lord of the Rings."

Please let me be the first woman to explain few key issues here (or perhaps the first woman to even talk to some of those jokers). Gangsters and other bad boys are sexy. Nerds and other wussies are not. Period. It is not about violence vs. science. It is all about characters and a geeky nerd is the very antithesis of manhood and sexual attractiveness. As every woman will tell you, we hate "nice guys" (read: wussies) and we love bad boys (read: alpha males) not without a reason. If you can't understand those reasons then I can only feel sorry for you every time when I hear another pathetic idea of showing to the whole world how not sexy you are. And this is just sad. Really sad. Do you still wonder why there are so few women (and almost no hot women) in the IT industry? The Nerdcore Rap is your answer.
