Nerdcore is the term for a new wave of hip-hop in which nerdy white guys rap about topics such as Magic the Gathering card, Chewbacca, math, and other geek-culture staples. Like their hip-hop counterparts, nerdcore artists are simply rapping about their life experiences and what they know. The film follows the godfather of the genre, MC Frontalot, on his first national tour. The tour is moved along by Front's interaction with band mates and the critical supporting role played by his fans: a special breed of loyal and super smart dorks who can't get enough of the Front. Commentary from industry notables like Weird Al Yankovic, Prince Paul, and Jello Biafra pepper the film to examine the legitimacy of nerdcore as a subgenre of hip hop, the larger rise of nerd culture, and the desperation of one MC who's trying to make it.

    •  The documentary was hilarious. If you missed it, there is another screening on Tuesday at 2:40pm. I hope this film gets picked up.
