"Yeah, so NERD RAP is on its way BACK...my prediction, don't bite" Mon Mar-12-12 02:01 PM by Orbit_Established
I just have a feeling
Been listening to these random BronsonMarciano type cats y'all keep putting up
I mean, that M.A.R.S. shit, which bangs, got a REAL thug niggas who did REAL time (Cormega) collabing with nerd rappers on boom bap beats
Even Slaughterhouse been staying away from club songs, got niggas spitting nerd bars
And then people like Edan slowly starting to come back out the woodworks
El-Pish type niggas
I honestly wasn't really into that nerd rap era like that, sorta Got into def Jux a lot later than I should have (still appreciated it, though)
Soon MF Doom even gonna actually record a song.
Don't think Curren$sy ain't nerd rap, because it is...He's a no limit reject, wasn't cool enough to hang with them.. Be referencing Cobra Commander in his songs and shit
I think nerd rap gonna better in the next generation, because it learned from its past mistakes
I think the new nerd rap gonna have niggas actually having fun on record
Matter of fact I predict niggas talking about cocaine and cars they don't own gonna be the new player haters...frowned upon in rap
We're too far removed from the crack epidemic and crime is mad low compared to when most of us grew up grew up....niglets just don't identify with all that reagan/Bush/Clinton era shit no more
Niglets are struggling, but don't wanna hear about crack sales...they don't know what that shit looks like, don't care
Part of is that even thug niggas dress like nerds now, shit is mad corny to me but nerds been laying in the cut
I knew Edan...saw that nigga back in 2000 wearing a boy scout hat and some orthopedic shoes (no lie)...now thug niggas wearing that shit...he laughing like shit now

Thanks for proving my point, though
Only nerds know Roc Marciano was in the UN
I don't even know who the "UN" is and I can quote several Pete Rock albums by heart...I prolly heard songs by UN but they never even registered enough for me to remember who the fuck they were, let alone who "Roc Marciano" is
I literally only heard of that nigga from OKP
Never would have discovered him otherwise
Street niggas aren't really posting in 'The lesson' like that

Not saying that rappers & emcees who spit that scientifical wordplay is nerdy with the rhymes but I will say that that type of style of rhyming was never out just became less heard and not so popular as other styles of rhyming that got so much attention over the years.
I'm still a fan of Scaramanga, Godfather Don, El-P, and I'm starting to like Willie Evans Jr. but to me, this style never left, just went back underground but if there is even nerdier rap than those kats, who are they and is their music any good (or at least the production worth a listen)?

Nerds talk about rap in technical terms, appreciate creativity and authenticity.
Hipsters are 100% about style and swagger, everything else is secondary.
Hipsters are responsible for the popularity of: Rick Ross, Odd Future, Kreashawn
Nerds are responsible for the popularity of: Sean Price, Edan, MF Doom
Artists that they both like: Curren$sy, the Clipse, Mos Def (sometimes with MoS...nerds are harder on Mos Def than hipsters, but both have a love/hate relationship with him)
in the near future, okayplayers will make posts about the "90s being back" and "backpacker resurgence" well after such trends are underway -- yet demand credit for being prophetic.

>A lot of Backpackers (not in the traditional sense of >backpacker, a nigga that bombs or boosts shit) are Nerds. > >But I thought Nerd Rap was cats talking about Robots and shit. >Dose One or corny shit like that.
I see your point, I just didn't think about it like that

There's either some thug street shit that'll get adopted by hipsters.
Or nerdy off the wall rapping about dragons in a forest in double time that's loved by backpackers and geeks.
Then there's regular dudes who love street shit, but are just lost and get older to the point nobody really checks for them despite putting out good shit, (Cormega, Sadat X, Self Scientific types).

it's interesting that the "nerd rap" heyday of mainstream glory is on it's way out (Kanye, Lupe) having proven to be more neglected, pig headed wannabee jocks than actual, realized nerds in the sense of full curiosity, mastery and understanding of most things.
i think the return of the "interesting" is more apropos.

Saigon also did time

Doom is a rap nerd the way Big Daddy Kane and Rakim were, if you just mean to call him a lyricist
>Don't think Curren$sy ain't nerd rap, because it >is...He's a no limit reject, wasn't cool enough to hang >with them.. Be referencing Cobra Commander in his songs >and shit
No Limit doesnt exist anymore, obscure references arent nerd rap
>I think the new nerd rap gonna have niggas actually >having fun on record
if this post were about Odd Future being nerds (all piano beats and Earl's lyricism), you would have had no debate
>Matter of fact I predict niggas talking about cocaine and >cars they don't own gonna be the new >player haters...frowned upon in rap
never, so long as it's rapped well. btw this is all Roc Marc raps about and you referred to him as a nerd, proof you're trolling
>Part of is that even thug niggas dress like nerds now, >shit is mad corny to me but nerds been laying in the cut
lies
>I knew Edan...saw that nigga back in 2000 wearing a boy >scout hat and some orthopedic shoes (no lie)...now thug >niggas wearing that shit...he laughing like shit now
lies, Im sure you googled a picture of Edan. also, no thugs dress like him

because this point is just so remarkably terrible that I don't feel the need to do anything but just isolate & point to it: > >Doom is a rap nerd the way Big Daddy Kane and Rakim were, if >you just mean to call him a lyricist > > I mean I don't even know if you made good points after that because you put a quarter in your ass & played yourself so badly there.

>Plus the 90's was 20 years ago so your post is spot on. I've >seen people fucking with nerdy rappers far more than usual.
He's a Brooklyn nigga and all but is definitely more on the nerd side of shit
He's an example of how nerd rap learned their lesson, though
He's got a good dosage of street in him
5 years ago, Bada$$ is a thug rapper talking about coke and cars he don't own ("I rips and chips and clips and dips")
Now he can skateboard, spit street shit and be quirky
Demographically he's not less poor or street than Dipset
Dipset was actually just as quirky, but they didn't last because they tried to shove that street shit down our throats...a nigga like Juelz is just like Bada$$ if you really think about it
Unrelated: I really fuck with Joey Bada$$ hard, which also prolly proves the point
