Beginner's Guide to mc chris





What begun as a beginner's guide to nerdcore quickly turned into a beginner's guide to mc chris because he's pretty much the only nerdcore artist that's worth two shits. That may be a little harsh, but after hearing two hours of the likes of MC Frontalot I can safely write off a lot of the others as mere imitations of him as he seems to be the poster child for the genre. Sure there are other talented nerdcore artists out there like Random and Jesse Dangerously, and even the gimmicky MC Hawking is good for a larf, but for the most part it's a very... esoteric genre to say the least. For those unaware of the genre it's pretty much nerd hip hop, plain and simple. Songs tend to focus on science-fiction, fantasy, being a geek/nerd, love, Star Wars, Dungeons & Dragons, etc.

mc chris is one of the longest running voices of the genre and has had a love/hate relationship with the title. He finds the label to be extremely limiting on who can enjoy it and goes out of his way to write songs to encompass far more than just Nintendo fanboys. This has caused some friction among other artists of the genre, some viewing him as a bit of a poseur, only accepting the genre title after it started to gain some more mainstream recognition. Regardless on his personal feelings for the genre, he is one of the more talented amongst the bunch, both in his rhyme and flow scheme, but as well as his beat making. The breaking point for a lot of people is his unusually high voice, which some have described as sounding like that of a 10-year old boy. He has addressed such issues in his song "10-Year Old", but goes about it in good grace. If you can get past the voice and actually listen to his lyrics there is a good amount of humor and intelligence hidden in them. I tried to include as much stuff from mc chris is dead, his 2008 album which is widely regarded as his most accessible and well produced. I don't expect everything to appreciate this mix, but I'm sure at least one person will find it amusing.

Originally Posted by loveissucide The Beginner's Guide To Pulp Pulp were one of the most popular, and best, British groups of the 1990's, with the albums His'N'Hers and Different Class establishing their leader Jarvis ****er as a songwriter who could articulate adolescence, sex and the problems it brought, and social division brilliantly and making him an unlikely icon. However, Pulp had been struggling in obscurity for a decade beforehand, with a constantly changing lineup and sound, which evolved from the folkish pop of their It debut, to the synthpop which they would make their name with. Whilst their post-Different Class work may have failed to scale the same commercial heights, there was no drop in quality with This Is Hardcore being possibly their best album. I hope this primer gives you some idea as to the range and quality of Jarvis' songwriting, in order to appreciate there being more to Pulp than Disco 2000 and Common People.Neither of which I've included. 1. 1.Babies 2.My Legendary Girlfriend 3.This Is Hardcore 4.I Spy 5.My Lighthouse 6.Live Bed Show 7.Help The Aged 8.Do You Remember The First Time? 9.They Suffocate At Night 10.Wickerman 11.Countdown 12.FEELINGCALLEDLOVE 13.Bad Cover Version 14.Glory Days 15.Last Day Of The Miner's Strike Tracks 1,8 from His'N'Hers Tracks 2,11 from Seperations Tracks 3,7,14 from This Is Hardcore Tracks 4,6,12 from Different Class Tracks 5 from It Tracks 10 and 13 from We Love Life Tracks 9 from Freaks Track 15 from Hits

Originally Posted by trouserjazz Good selection there although you have missed off bar italia which is my faevourite pulp track. I cant believe you dont have mishapes or underwear on there either, both essential. Anyway all this goes to show is that pulp rock. They really need to sort out some sort of reunion I saw them Live at Leeds fest in 2002 underneath the strokes. Needless to say they complete blew them out of the water. Cheers for whoever it was who posted King Crimson, cant believe ive never checked this band out before. Anyway im currently working on a best of hip hop selection for number nine dream, if anyones interested ill get post it here when its done. Although im snowed under at work so im not sure when ill actually finish it.
