These geektastic electronic musicians play the kind of songs that make you want to click your left mouse button excessively while nerding out online.
They have a style all their own, part electronic, part hip hop, with some nerdcore rapping thrown in. Their songs would make the ultimate soundtrack for nearly every video game ever made, plus you can dance to it!.
Speaking of video games, this time around the trio plays their own version of the song Earthquake by Labrinth using an app game called Grabatron.
It’s catchy, rugged enough to appeal to the hip hop heads that might get an earful, and I would have played their tracks non-stop in my walkman back in the day, as I worked at getting my initials on the high score pages of my fav arcade games. Geeks up, schmucks down!

Who knew the hip hop community would embrace a video game like Minecraft? Well, maybe we won’t be seeing a Lil Wayne homage to Minecraft anytime soon, but Dan Bull has definitely caught pixel mania. Check out his Minecraft Epic Rap video and tell me what you think. Fair warning, though, some of the lyrics are NSFW.

Comments Off Crazy Dave’s new video has made him the latest YouTube sensation, and proves that he does more than sell stuff out of his trunk and help homeowners battle waves of invading zombies. Plant yourself in a chair and enjoy!

Comments Off Last year, John Farrier wrote a great Neatogeek post about geeky love songs. While the twelve listed were great, there were still plenty more great geek ballads out there. Here are ten more love songs sure to get your nerd juices flowing.
How is it nerdy? This is the song that inspired me to write this list. It’s an ultimate geek love song in that a woman is able to seduce her love interest not through her looks but through chemistry and other scientific fields.
Choice lyrics: It’s poetry in motion/And now she’s making love to me/The spheres are in commotion/The elements in harmony/She blinded me with science/”She blinded me with science!”/And hit me with technology

How is it nerdy? It might just be impossible to write a romantic song with more Dungeons and Dragons references.
Choice lyrics: I picked up spell resistance from the enchanted school/So I could bend up all these magic pretences/And though always use it as a general rule /This time I’m lowering all my defences
Video: There’s no official video for the song, but here’s a YouTube video with the song.

How is it nerdy? MC Chris is one of the biggest stars of the nerdcore hip hop scene and this serenade to a nerd shows just how geeky he can be, even when discussing matters of the heart.
Choice lyrics: She’s romantic, known to panic/With anxiety attacks/Literary, it’s so scary/Reading Brontes back to back/She’s playing Ragnarok on her mom’s Magnavox/She’s underneath my skin like a million nanobots
Video:
How is it nerdy? It’s not even about a girl, it really is about loving a computer and how the computer is far better than a real girlfriend.
Choice lyrics: I’ve never been quite so happy/all I need to do is click on you/and we’ll be joined/in the most soul-less way/and we’ll never/ever ruin each other’s day

Yes, it’s real! This surreal fusion of country line dancing and hip hop from 1995 was created by aerobics instructor Diane Horner. She says “You can even add your shoulders if you want. That’s the fun thing about hip hop dancing.”

No, not "Hip-Hop Explained to Grandma" (though that would be very interesting) but more like the difference between sub-genres of rap, like why the Dirty South sounds nothing like East Coast or West Coast and why Dr. Dre is different stylistically than P. Diddy …
Eric Shafer of Audiotuts explains:
In the realm of popular music, perhaps no genre has been as popular in recent years as hip-hop. However, hip-hop is hardly a new phenomenon, so in this article, we’re going to take an in-depth look at its history and try to make sense of it all.
