Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



 
Wondering what's up with the headline? Then check out the video above. The video is about nerds and their passion for rap, called Nerdcore (no not that Nerdcore). It's really hard to believe that they are serious about what they do. Kudos to them if this really takes off. (Spotted on Double Viking) 
 
We got nine videos up for your enjoyment this weekend. Which include a rap battle between Mario and Bowser, a video of Mega Man in Donkey Kongs world, the first Coleco Vision ad, Dr. MmKay giving away Wiis, an anger Halo 2 player, a scary Chibi Robo costume, two more Mega 64 videos and a video of a guy who just can't wait to play the Nintendo Wii.   

A short clip from the Super Mario Super Show. This features Bowser and Mario having a rap battle. Cultural stereo types FTW. (Spotted on Game Break)

Ever wondered what it'd be like to play as Mega Man in Donkey Kong? It'd be the worst game ever apparently.

 

The first Coleco Vision ad. I believe I found this on Digg and for some reason, the submitter was comparing the Coleco to the PS3. Fanboys, FTL. 

 
Dr. Phil gives his audience Nintendo Wiis. He also plays it. **WARNING! RETARDED/ANNOYING DOCTOR IN VIDEO**
 
 
This guy says f*ck 303 times while playing Halo 2 among many other expletives. 
 


The Chibi Robo costume. CREEPY! There's also another video of this kid if you go to the YouTube page. (Spotted on Kotaku)

 
What do you do until you can get a Wii? Why do all of the stuff you'd normally do in the games BUT IN REAL LIFE! (Spotted on Kotaku)
 
 
I still have a raging <s>clue</s> hard on for Mega 64. This time, their Splinter Cell ads.



Second Splinter Cell ad from Mega 64

About the nerdcore thing.. it's pretty cool that these guys are doing what they want to do, but we also must remember that this isn't new! The Beastie Boys, Weird Al, and early Beck, probably more. I'm surprised none of the people in the video paid their due respect to those who opened the nerdcore doors for them.

In addition, they claim this movement in music was created to free their expression, but it seems actually pretty limiting. I'd assume that if you have no 'nerdy' material in your music, you can't be nerdcore, which is really just creating a more limited genre than most that currently exist. Punk already attempted to create this freedom of expression. If you don't believe me, check out the Ultrafuckers. Oh and the Killer Robots, just because they're good.

Soo yeah. I take back what I said about hating. Screw nerdcore! Hurt them nerds!

One thing I had to add. Imagine those wankers on MTV making millions of dollars rapping about stuff they saw on Destructoid. How will you feel then?? HUH??

Shawn: Bahaha. I'm starting to see Nintendo's brilliance in using friend codes.

Kinda off topic, but I'd like to see the friend code thing to be voluntary. Like, a parental control setting or something.

These guys aren't very good!

but Del the Funky is one of the best emcees out there, and that guy is one hardcore gamer.

his track "proto culture" is off the hook.

I never got in to nerdcore and I probably never will. I had a roommate that played MC Hawkin and MC++ and they were good for a couple of laughs but nothing that I would listen to more then a couple of times.

It is kinda ironic that all of the nerdcore rappers looked the part of the nerd. All of them were white, some were mousey looking, some were overweight, and when interviewed their rooms were covered with anime and webcomic posters. There was only one black guy in the entire video and he was the breakdancer. It makes me wonder if they put him in just so we wouldn't think that nerdcore is white people rap.

I wonder what makes Nerdcore different from normal Hip Hop, sure if you look at mainstream Hip Hop there is a big difference concerning topics. But there also guys like MF Doom, who rhymes over gatchaman and marvel cartoons beats, even got chun-li in the intro of his madvillain album. Only difference is that he's not 1 dimensional and speaks on a lot of different topics and that he actually has a flow.

Same goes for almost the entire list of artists that signed to defjux, it wouldn't be hard to label them nerdcore either, yet they are seen as Hip Hop artists. So really that nerdcore thing is nothing new, they gave themself a name to create a hype.

This looks like a joke.

Del the Funky Homosapien is pretty awesome. Listened to him for a while. Listen to Virus - Deltron 3000
