Yeah, I don't even know how I discovered this, maybe some of you have heard of it. I checked it in order to get some laughs but what I found was some of the most exciting hip hop I've heard in years. How the fuck did this guy manage to take the corniest subject matter and make a legitimately good rap album is beyond me but listen for yourself, I hope you will be as pleasantly surprised as I was. Also the production is top notch, taking the game's melodies and making awesome beats out of them.
I hope this spawns an entire genre of "nerd hop" because I think it's awesome.
