Default Adam WarRock: Nerd Rapper Extraordinaire
If you're a nerd, you have the basic ability to like hip hop, and have always dreamed of blasting songs about the X-Men in the hood with your windows down, then Adam WarRock is the answer to your prayers. I don't think the dude has any actual albums, but he has a million mixtapes and singles that you can download for free from his website.

He covers everything from comic books, to video games, to nerd shows like Dr. Who. I think he might have some songs about non-geek stuff but who ****ing gives a ****?

http://www.adamwarrock.com/













Any nerds who ain't tryin' to hear can eat ****.

Not sure if you're aware but there's a whole subgenre of hip-hop dedicated to being nerdy as possible called nerdcore. I can't give you any recs cause it's not really my ideal genre but if you check here Wikipedia of White Nerds Who Can't Rap you might be able to find more of the sort.

Lol I'll have to check it out, but I legitimately jam out to Adam WarRock beyond his nerdy lyrics. If these other dudes got jams then I'll be all about it though.

Don't think this could be legitimately considered to be nerdcore, but some themes are definitely there. And it's pretty amazing musically as well.

Adam WarRock doesn't come off as "bad" by any means, but there's something about rappers who sound overly white that I just can't deal with. Does that make me racist? I hope.

Agreed. I dig white german and russian rappers, but when rapping in english, black voices just sound better to me.

Do black people even exist in Germany and Russia?

He's just fun though. His lyrics might not have the same impact to a non-comic nerd, but "Magneto Was Right" legitimately hits hard for me, and would even if it weren't about a comic character. And he's got **** about heroes you wouldn't think anyone would make a song about, like Hawkeye, War Machine, She-Hulk, Spider-Woman, etc, that make him a goldmine for any true comic book nerd.

And he's Asian btw. Racist.

Quite a few in Germany, some fine rappers among them. In Russia on the other hand black people are very rare.

Strangely enough I would have thought it'd be the other way around, not sure why.
