G4tv Nerdcore Promos: MC Lars, MC Frontalot, YTCracker

MC Lars for G4tv

Here's a new Nerdcore tv spot for G4tv from MC Lars whose vocal stylings are what I had considered typical of nerdcore and why I haven't been so into the genre.

MC Frontalot for G4tv

MC Frontalot is also a big name in nerdcore and I've checked him out before but, though he sounds related to MC Lars if you listen without watching, this spot reminds me more of musicians that crossed over into performance art like Klaus Nomi whose excessive self-presentation is a particularly strong part of the act.

YTCracker for G4tv

I don't think I'd checked out YTCracker before and he comes across as the most "normal" rapper of these three.  Juxtaposing them suggests that they're more connected by themes and beats than by vocal styles.

Given that the folks at GPtv are saying that Del the Funky Homosapien is next in the series and describing him as the "overlord of nerdcore", the nerdcore genre is starting to look and sound a lot more interesting.

I never really understood Lars until I heard one of his live shows, he's definitely a performance-oriented artist. Front you either love or hate. His flow is unique. YT might be the most typical-sounding of the bunch, but his tracks rely more on chiptunes than the others'.

I'm surprised mc chris and Beefy haven't been tapped for these promos.

I'm sure Del is really, really pleased to be linked to the rest of these guys. Time for branding damage control in the Heiro Emporium...
