Below is a trailer for a documentary on Nerdcore Rappers. They rap about comic books, role playing, and video games, while preaching the gospel about nerd empowerment. Check it out.

On the Wired blog network Listening Post: Documentary Nerdcore For Life Examines the Good, Bad and Geeky

Doing his anthropology through interviews with nerdcore rappers like MC Router, MC Lars, Beefy, mc chris, YTCracker, Monzy, MC Plus+ and High-C, Lamoureux traces the genre from its origins on laptops coast-to-coast to full-on movement trying to find its identity (and then try to explain it to everyone else).

“I got so far in –- up to my neck –- in nerdcore beef and drama,” the director says. “I got on [a nerdcore] message board to promote the film and people responded with ‘Screw that movie, you didn’t ask me to be in it.’ It’s just absurd.”

Nerdcore Rappers? I think I need to look into this. The film will be shown at the 2008 Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle next month.
