MC Chris vs. Ytcracker

By Daniel Miessler on March 26th, 2007: Tagged as Music | Nerdcore

I find that MC Chris is more pleasant for me to listen to, as far as musical style. One of his songs, Variety, reminds me a lot of Eminem, actually, and it’s just awesome.

I don’t tend to enjoy Ytcracker’s music as much, but I like his lyrics much better and I respect the fact that he’s a hacker. He has lived/lives the computer geek life, which I can associate with, and I don’t hear much from the IT realm with MC Chris.

My all time favorite nerdcore line is from Ytcracker, by the way:

My heart’s wide open, goatse. My windows min like ho chi. — Ytcracker

I still prefer MC Lars's "laptop rap" style to either of the above mentioned artists. I recommend "The Laptop [EP]". "Radio Pet Fencing" isn't near as good, and I haven't yet listened to "The Graduate".

You need to check out YTC's Nerd Life. It is a major step forward in nerdcore.

Yeah, I bought it last week. I do like it quite a bit, actually. I just listened to most of it again during lunch and you're right -- it's pretty damn good.
