Optimus Rhyme lays down some quality raps. Way better than all those "pale kids rap fast" ish. I love his use of live band.
MC Frontalot is hit or miss. I like a good few of his tracks, but either you're that nerdy and can relate or you can't.
Shafer the Dark Lord is worth checking out. Nerdiest of evil rappers.
MC Hawking is a good laugh. If you can get your laughs on Stephen Hawking rapping, you'll enjoy it.
Rappy McRapperson is ... crappy McCrapperson
MC Paul Barman is really the best, but as mentioned above, I'm not sure he's nerdy enough for nerdcore. Besides being Jewish and having a funny voice, he's not so much a nerd as he is talented at rapping about anything. And good enough with words/counting bars that he comes off as ... nerdy?
MC Chris is a novelty, yea.
The Mad Conductor is another good semi-nerdy rapper with a live band as well. Enjoyable raps, but his voice brings Tom Green to mind.
Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew... not nerdcore, but piratecore so to speak. But making your rap persona a pirate is kinda nerdy isn't it? Both albums are top notch pirate fare.
