Nerdcore part 2

It ooccurs to me that there may have been another progenitor of nerdcore hiphop as it has come to be. Of course I'm talking about MC 900ft Jesus.

MC 900ft Jesus has all of the intrinsic qualities of the nerdcore scene: Intelligent, thought provoking lyrical style, the use of humor to take on some very serious issues, and (no judgement here) He's a white guy! (It appears that most of what is called "nerdcore" these days is performed almost exclusively by white guys. Don't know why but it is. To some degree you can almost call Emenem nerdcore except that he is so mainstream that there would be no way he could be anything but a pop act.

Anyway there are people who are into fitting people into little boxes but I've never seen anyone who put MC 900ft Jesus into the same one as these others. That's all I'm saying.
