I was on MySpace today and I noticed a new blog post on Optimus Rhyme’s MySpace page. It was titled “Some songs write themselves…” and was about a new song called “MC Chipmunk”. Let’s look at the lyrics, shall we?
We met a little rapper that’s so damn cute.
He’s got these chubby little cheeks, stands three-foot-two.
We call him Chipmunk, cause his voice is squeaky too.
And we he said he smokes weed, dude he lied to you.
And he doesn’t guzzle Robitussin, doesn’t do most of the stuff he raps about,
Hmmm… I wonder who they’re talking about? Oh yeah, MC Chris. So, I know it’s normal in rap to dis other rappers, but come on… MC Chris doesn’t attack any other rappers in his music, and after his show he was just an awesome guy. I guess all I’m saying is, Nerdcore is still a young genre and I think the people in it need to stick together…
That’s typical for MC Chip. He’s a hypocritical little twit whose face flips.
I don’t trust him a bit. He’s not fit for this music.
First he’s not nerdcore, and now he tries to use it.
Oh, unless I guess you don’t consider MC Chris to be Nerdcore (funny, seems everyone else does).

If you haven’t paid attention, recently mc said himself in interviews that he does not consider himself nerdcore anymore. He uses it, then he doesn’t, then he does, then he doesn’t. And I am positive that OR have had many one-on-one dealings with chris to the point where he did something legit to offend them (eschewing PAX and his fans there is one example). I’m guessing they’ve spent more quality time with/around him than just after shows like fans.

I like mc chris. He is a good rapper. No that being said, I totally understand why he is under attack so much. He can’t decide if he’s in or out of nerdcore. It is starting to feel that he may not be a nerd, which is fine, unless he is just trying to cash in on the nerdy kids. I don’t know enough about the whole thing to really comment, but I know a few things that don’t sit well with me. Like the lawsuit he used to squeeze money out of MC Lars. chris, all I can say is that you want to be a nerd, be a nerd. Don’t worry about the labels, don’t worry about the media calling you “nerdcore” and how that will limit your appeal. Just be yourself. The best hip-hop acts out there (Frontalot, Beefy, ytcracker, Eminem, Dr. Dre, etc.) all have that in common. This is want hip-hop is about, the MC spitting rhymes about their life. chris please stop worrying about whether or not you are nerdcore, or a nerd for that matter. Just write you songs, and keep it real. That’s all there is.
