rgr that
emerson would not have considered this an existential question. i’m almost positive
i’ll try and do this one from ang. i’ll prolly start on it tomorrow since i have
1. stuff to finish forr release and will be at work until about 8PM
2. take home test due tomorrow for our clinical diagnostics class
speaking of which, i should prolly post my presentation for that class. it was filled with penis humor. i know how that always goes over well.
destroying what little nerd street cred i have with my very first try here by insinuating that i had some athletic ability in highschool. case always said i was a jock.
ok, here’s the deal. i have WAY MORE than 12 lines here with this. basically my plan was to just crank something out fast. anything. but apparently i undererestimated my creativity on this one. or at least i thought i would have trouble with material. at this point i have the beginnings of at least 3 verses and i havent even managed to work “bring it on homeboy” into the lyrics. at least not with the 1st verse. well maybe…
as usual, i’m taking something simple and turning it into an forkin epic. chock full of math and thermo references. well, a few. anyways, here’s what i got so far. keep in mind that it’s to the music in my head, so it may read poorly. or it may just suck. yeah, that’s it.
young nerd boy on the soccer field playing “D”
top of the diamond like a planet at apogee
schooling all forwards like they was elementary
handing out slide tackles to all takers for free
or
who knew that someday he’d be hailed as a leet MC?
circling the keeper like an orbital station
protecting the goal from alien invasion
analyzing opponents like stochiometric equations
greatest nerd soccer player in all of creation
everybody says that he looks like a white urkel
bowl cut and glasses, but he runs like a fuckin gazelle
skinny as hell, stuck in a shell
but with his leet kung foo, all opponents are felled
tall blond jock in the zone makes a foray
thinks that he’s fast, yeah that he’s faster than Fourier
to solve differential equations, no chance at evasion
gonna get himself hurt when he tries this invasion
of the Z domain, instead Z brings the pain
with a push off the ball that pulls him up lame
he tries to land a hit, but in this duel of wits,
u know there was no he’s gonna win this shit
behind his eyes you could see the burst of steam
expanding out his ears like stage 2-3 in rankine
pushes the nerd, oh man, that’s a bad ploy
“you wanna go nerd?” “yeah, bring it on homeboy!”
extra credit if you know wtf i’m talking about with the Z domain. the rankine ref is for richie and tanju (if he still reads this)
yeah… this is gonna be a learning experience. 5 days > 2 days right? commence tearing it up. i’ll pick something from the last group of suggestions for monday
this is gonna be a little more tricky than i initially thought.
i’m not flaking out here. i’ve actually written some stuff down, the problem is, there’s no real way to demonstrate the lyrical cadence (if such a term exists). think i’m gonna try and record an mp3 or something. podcast or something similar. i’ll have something up tonight or tomorrow, one way or the other.
what i need from you guys are the topic/suggestions. i’m thinking in the form of one-word or one-sentence concept sort of thing. the first suggestion is gonna come from sexyarmo “bring it on homeboy!” (which probably means nothing to anybody except possibly for him and simon).
george, i swear to god, if you come back at me with chocolate milk, i’ll kidnap you when you come to town and drop you off at a hillary clinton support rally and free-love orgy where you’ll be converted to liberalism, pledge allegiance to howard dean style socialized medicine, offer to sell a kidney to fund the al gore “creater of the internet” memorial ziggurat and reflecting pool (to be placed at the capital mall), and join a union. AND YOU’LL LIKE IT!
blogging from work again. and yeah, it is saturday.
so i’ve been listening to a lot of nerdcore hip-hop lately. i’d started listening to some of it about 5 years ago with MC Chris and his song Fett’s Vette (about boba fett. you can DL the entire album at www.mcchris.com. it’s the “life’s a bitch and i’m her pimp” one). then a few years ago i saw Optimus Rhyme and MC Frontalot (the guy who coined the term, nerdcore) play with the minibosses at the penny arcade expo here in seattle. i picked up their albums, mainly to just give support at the show, but didnt really get to into it. it wasn’t really until a month ago when this interview with MCPlus+ aired on the local NPR station that i decided it might be worth it to go to his site and DL some of his stuff. the lyrical feud between him and monzy led me to dl his “So Much Drama in the PhD”. onward from him to MC Hawking, and so on…
anyways, i thought i might give a quick shot at putting together some sick rhymes. i mean, i’m a nerd right? yeah, i’m not in comp sci, but i do play WoW and i like star trek and anime. what more could you ask for (besides a phd)? anyways, here’s what i got in about 5 minutes.
like a fiber milkshake
got lyrics so thick
like a raw pork steak
gonna make you sick
overclockin these beats
’til they melt the casing
breathin in burned resistors
like i was freebasing
can anybody send me some decent dj backbeats? just for fun, i’d like to see what kind of garbage i can produce.
i knew a guy once in collage who thought you could eat bratwursts straight out of the package like you (theoretically) can with hotdogs. he got pretty violently ill. oh jeff naylor! where are you today?
