mc chris live!
4.12.2005 10:12 PM \| Link	I became an mc chris fan when I heard Fett's Vette at the end of Sealab 2021 on Cartoon Network. I checked out his website, downloaded his songs, and soon I was learning his hilarious and totally creative lyrics and rapping along. mc chris (he likes it lower-case) is an average white guy geek who just happens to be a bad-ass rapper - his songs are full of pop culture references (along with the usual rap attitude, swearing, and plenty of Rated R material) that only geeks like me can appreciate (Star Wars, comics, video games, you name it)! His music is totally unlike anything else I listen to, but I love it - I guess it's kind of a release since it's so over the top! Anyway, last night I had the chance to see mc chris live at Emo's, and even though it made for a super-late Monday night, I had to go. My pal Chris went with me, and it was an amazing show! There was a huge line when we got there which really packed the place - I may have been the oldest guy there, but I think I pulled it off. There were kids there in all sorts of garb, but they all had signs of geekdom (lots of anime shirts), so even though I felt like a poser, I was among my people! (By the way, my favorite T-shirts were "Bitches & Sake" and "Unsweetened", written across some cutie's boobs, of course.) I actually found some other guy's pics from the show (with me in them) on the mc chris forum - check out the crowd! There were two opening bands, Honeypot and Yuppie Pricks (who were so funny that we had to buy their CD), and then mc chris came on. He was short, pudgy, high-voiced, but totally cool, sporting his Star Wars stormtrooper jacket - the crowd went wild! He did all of his popular tunes, and tons of people were rapping along. It was kind of amazing, because there I was rapping all the words along with some other guy with about ten lip piercings - we probably have nothing else in common, but there we were, enjoying the show like pals! mc chris got the crowd to show their pride by screaming "Nerd power!" and getting us to sing the theme song to Aqua Teen Hunger Force (now that was a moment to remember). It's tough to describe how fun it was, but it was totally worth being sleepy all day! Labels: life, music
