Nerd Rap:
Hip hop based vocal music that attempts to express scientific, technological, or futuristic concepts using any style of lyricism as a vessel for it’s message.
Nerd rap, as with all forms of self expression, is difficult to classify and is executed with varying degrees of excellence. Many artists have dabbled in nerd rap at one time or another without specifically meaning to and, vice-versa, many self proclaimed “nerd rappers” do not fit this definition.
A PS to the guy who thinks rap isn’t music:
- Music= Sound arranged over time.
- Stop giving good nerds a bad name.
Everybody tells you to be yourself, but they don’t practice what they preach. I love/live Rap. I also love being a Nerd. Video games, sci-fi flicks, pop culture, technology; You name it, we LOVE it. And guess what?
