The Dueling Nerdcore Documentaries

Posted by Zonk on from the both-of-you-break-out-your-magic-deck dept.

Colin Reuter writes "There are not one but two feature-length documentary films in the works about the burgeoning nerdcore hip-hop scene. Nerdcore Rising from indie company Vaguely Qualified Productions in NY focuses on the founder of the "movement," MC Frontalot, and features MC Hawking, mc chris, Weird Al Yankovic, Brian Posehn, Daily Show personnel, and dozens of aspiring nerdcore rappers from around the country. The competing movie, Nerdcore For Life from Chicago's Crapbot Productions covers many of the same personalities, getting the backstory on more than twenty young nerd rappers including ytcracker, MC++, and Lords of the Rhymes. With two movies duking it out, the print edition of Wired profiling the rappers, and the Associated Press getting onboard, is nerdcore going to turn into a legitimate subgenre? Or will this always be our dirty little secret?"

      That's so that we all get to say "RTFA n00b" since no one will have read them all.

      Besides, with a name like "colon router", what else would you expect from submitter?

    Someone make a nerdcore dedicated website and put nothing but porn, prostitute, and stripper banners on the site. Talk about perfectly targetted marketing.
