Music Time! Hooray!

Mad-Hyphy Thing of The Day: MC Lars.

Recently I've been exploring around iTunes. Well, by 'recently' I mean, 'for the past few months or whatever'. I didn't think that I'd have to do this, but I think it's time to make this post and ask this question: Honestly, how many of you people know who MC Lars is?

I thought so,

Plainly put, MC Lars is a rapper who defies every little rap stereotype. He's white. He went to Stanford. His songs are about Hot Topic, the internet, and Star Wars. And even though he's from the Bay Area, he's yet to be recognized by people.

But MC Lars puts the 'smart' back in 'smartass'. He's absolutely hilarious, using his, and I quote him, 'post-punk laptop rap' skills to to tell us just what we're doing wrong- in the politest way possible. Fans of mainstream rap beware, though, his song 'Generic Crunk Rap' might be a little condescending. But I, for one, couldn't stop laughing.

I recommend the song 'White Kids Aren't Hyphy' (Packed with Irony and Bay Area references!), the rock-esque 'Hot Topic Is Not Punk Rock', and the song 'The Room mate from Hell', where Satan is MC Lars' roommate.
