The BBC hailed the rise of 'nerdcore' last week, suggesting self proclaimed nerd producers such as MC Frontalot MC MadHatter McGinnis who rap about video games, computer programming language are infiltrating US hip hop. "My personal take is not that nerdcore is getting big but that the whole world population are becoming nerds," MC McGinnis told Radio 5. "Nerdcore is like every other sort of hip hop, just considerably less cool," said MC Frontalot, one of the founding fathers of the scene. The BBC report came soon after notoriously streetwise East Coast rapper RZA from the Wu Tang Clan chatted candidly about his own deep interest in Star Wars and computer games in an interview about his new book 'the Tao of Wu' last October. "We geeks man, we geeks," he laughed, when asked if he accepted the term, "me being a geek helped hip hop grow. I'm probably one of the first hip hop geeks," he added, "That would admit it." Worrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd.
