Best of luck to the remaining competitors.  Don’t slack off, I’ll be watching you.

I Am 3rr0r, 3rr0r is me
So named in part due to the flaws that you see
I am 3rr0r, That’s who I am
Write code, brew beer, and record my jams
I am 3rr0r, embodyment of flaw
Couldn’t find the heat so I’m bringing it raw
I am 3rr0r, worse than your blue screen
Go running in terror, I am 3rr0r
—————–
—————–
Did I say terror, I meant cover your ears
Or I fear what you hear may bring you to tears
I am the microphone catastrophy but please hold your jeers
And if you want to show som love to me, please raise your beers
Because this nerdy zymergist is spittin his mist
So he wont bw dismissed, land at the bottom of the list
Drop velvet gloves, to show my iron fist
Even if I got he coders RSI in my wrist
The jist of my mission in front of the mic
Is to drop the kinds of rhymes that even I would like
To bump in the car with the windows down
Share the sound and please the ears of those hangin around
I stand stoic and humble, like the horse at troy
Then slay you when you sleep, this gift aint a toy
I’ll destroy anything that tries to get in my way
And deploy my flow of the thoughts to convey that

I am 3rr0r, and my motives are true

Got the two greatest ladies in the world behind me
One call me her rock, the other calls me daddy
This family surounding me brings the smile you see
a Trinity: two as one, of that one there’s now three
Which I need; my support structure, my reason for living
We’ll raise the next gen to be both thoughtful and giving
With her fellow passengers on the spaceship: Earth
And to be spending her time on the things that it’s worth
While I rage against injustice, both real and percieved
I hope that my aggression’s not a trait that is recieved
By my little girl, she is a gift to the future
And like any parent, I want to give what’s best to her
So nose down, grind out 9-to-5s
This ain’t a game, There’s no multiple lives
No cheat codes, I gotta earn what I’m owed
So I keep writing code for the masses to load

I Am 3rr0r, error is me

A new standard bearer, I am 3rr0r

From a very young age, I like to take things apart.
That which some call science, has been to me always art
From the start of this nerds quest for understanding
But the more I leran more I know I don’t understand a damn thing
But that’s a motivater of intelectual drive
How do things work, what’s out there, why the hell are we alive?
And I strive to provide answers the universe hides
Until I find more questions, which serve to remind
That It’s about the ride and not the destination
so feel the vibration and may it lead to your elation.
Annexation of information by exploration and obvservation
will come to dissemination though my rhythmic oration
Seek my inspiration, in the world that surrounds
Perform a data-transformation to record it as sounds
Noting my interpretation as human knowledge compounds
Until the cold hand of time comes to strike us all down
—————–

I am 3rr0r, now the song has to end
But I persist forever, I am 3rr0r

Oh, I also did a diss-track last week on this guy Tre who was being a dick on the internet. In the meantime he has stopped being a dick so I’ve stopped hating on him. I still really enjoyed making the track, and engineering issues aside I think it came out pretty well. Here it is: (Lyrics after the break)

Check the sorry ass bitch dropping excises like rain
Go put some lead in your brain, it might excuse you from pain,
You feign at being tough, think you know e-thuggery
And yet you never heard of the real STC
You probly cop the wrong kind of STD
Your crew is just messy, please go swing from a tree
Like from your neck I may not wreck, but you? you’re just a spec
A dirt fleck fleck, aw what the heck
*aaah* *whooooo* is how I clean out the cartidge
Leave you a mess of blood, broken bone and torn cartlidge
Falling like Carthage, lamer than Danny Partridge,
Save me some time and just go drive your car off a ridge
Into ravine. I don’t usualy get mean
But I’m hungry and you irk me so I will eat your spleen
Congratulations you’re as hated and Chris & Shakes together
Get respect here? Never, you’re not even that clever
Dude, Goatse mans asshole wants to be like you
Go striaght to jail, no passing go, no 100 times two
Now you’re the vag at the center of the RT pile-on
The line is a mile-long, think you made me smile? wrong.
You like talking shit? Here put your lips on my ass
I like hockin spit, but still piss it with class
Pop you like a zit, here’s a fist for your sass
Excrement gargling git, you get the jist at last?
Shut the fuck up, get out of your girls moms basement
I don’t need your all caps to see your shitty rhyme placement
Defacement of the English, not an achievement
Displacement of your cranium would not bring bereavement
Posts are harder to read on one by Krischack
And his are even blocked, you’re typing is just wack
Tell your boy joining a forum is not that hard
Unless you’re a retard, now clam up or get barred
Tho maybe I’m wrong and you’re keyboards are horked
Your brains *can’t* be that bork3d, your heads improperly torqued?
Now your manners and decorum got my rage uncorked
I transform into a grue, eat you, leave you zorked
I am mega multi sylabic while you
are begging bulky Slavics for goo
Get whitefaced, like a juggalo
Pull that shit in this place, you’ll find you’re in trouble though
Now I retract my dick from oratorical fucking
Skeet out a lyric sheet that’ll leave you ducking
You keep mucking about yet know nothing about
How we roll in this house, so please see yourself out
Don’t shout or start foaming at the mouth like rabies
I’ve had more intelligent discussions with babies
And that’s even when talking I’m to the diaper end
Put my foot in an email to your ass and hit send
Rend your e-nis even after the end
Of the track, no coming back, I’m ripping off your nutsack.
Go smoke some more crack, perhaps felate a goat
RT aint your castle so go float in the moat

Busy week… Two tracks incoming, along with some changes to the site. I hope they will be to your liking. That is all until things are done.

Time to finally check out the Hatcore EP “Men With Hats”. 3.5 months in the making, 10 tracks, all colabs. I’ve been looking fwd to this.

1:The Twin Snakes;@KABUTO_RAPS f. Old Snake:Nice minimal beat,Old Snake hard to understand,still a fun opener. KTP intro to hook hat-haters.

2:Burying the HATchet:MC 8bit f. Fatty Goodness:Seriously Hatty raps, good background track. I think both rappers have leveled recently.

3:H4RD H4TZ:Cumfucius&ChemistTheMenace:More leveling, esp CtM. Vox could be upped a touch. Another makeup track .Nice beat. Too short.

4:The Hatz Are Out Tonight:Kincade,ThugmastaJ,OGDV:Wow. Grinning for the whole track. This is why you don’t eff w/ hatcore, serious.

5:Hat-Wearing Motherfuckers:FattyGoodness&@KABUTO_RAPS f.MC_Loki:Still grinning. Digging slower-than-usual KTP. Fatty w/ cake, Loki, icing.

6:The Don’s Hatcore Battle Mega Mix:OGDV f.IllGill:Vitos west-coast beat invokes Dre. Vox lowish. Gill amuses,but not as gangsta as the beat

7:HATCORPS:Darconomicock(Cumfucius & Tiri’Anor) f.OldSnake,IllGill,MCWreckshin:Familiar beat. (Vicious Attack;Mad DPS f. 3rr0r & The Ranger)

7.1:Hatcorps:DC isn’t bad. Damnit snake,I dont like to hate,but really,lyrics dont suck, but voice ruins. Gill & Wreck make me chuckle tho.

8:Hatcore Gangbangaz:CtM&OGDV f.MC_Loki:Enjoyable, this project has been good for CtM, but Lokis verse wins. More solid OGDV gangsta beats.

9:Era Draconis:@KABUTO_RAPS f. Cumfucius,Old Snake:KTP pulls out some crazy linguistics here. Cummy cums solid. Old Snake irks. 2/3rds fun.

10:Hatcores Finest:Fatty Goodness f. 3rr0r,Tiri’Anor,MC Wreckshin,IllGill,Cumfucius(Pellicane! beat):Some issues on EP track,but Cummy fixed

10.1:Hatcores Finest:A good hatty colab closer. The chorus(me) isn’t great. The verses are enjoyable, but imo Cummy(last) stands out above.

Conclusion: Had low expectations going in. I was wrong. This is a really fun EP with some badassery contained therein. Will bump in car.

Meanwhile, another formerly covert descreet project has stepped into the light; Tongue Mother. This band has the best name ever, and features the talents of Thugmasta J (of MagiTek fame), Mister B (of Mister B, and the Letters v. Numbers podcast), and yours truly. Work is underway for the 2009 EP ‘Six Licks’, featuring our debut track ‘Best Named Band’, and 5 other hot tracks. The EP features some slick producers, as well as engineering assistance (and maybe more?) from the Quartz Relic.

Looking ahead, I’m planning to release an ep of demos this summer which will include previously released tracks, previously unreleased tracks, and some some shit I haven’t written yet.

Speaking of shit I haven’t written yet, I’m finally going to get around to the reviews I’ve been wanting to write, expect them in the following order:

1. twitreview of Jelly-Brain (T.Y.T)
2. Detailed review of Invasion of the Mic Snatchers (Sinister Six)
3. Detailed Review of 8-Bit Diagrams (8-Bit Boys)
4. more?

‘tomorrow’; I get to work, check my feeds, and see that YT got around to putting the jucy DG bits on the net. Not to compain about an awesome-music-surplus, but damn, it’s been a busy 2 months:

I want this list to be exauhstive, but I dont know if that’s possible… some highlights:

• Free To Good Home mixtape
• Achievment Unlocked [attack slug]
• Split PersonIllIty [MC Topher]
• Final Boss [MC Frontalot]
• Tripple Six Mixtape
• Snogs [MisterB]
• uk.geek.core [category]
• Nerdcore Family vol 1.
• Rhyme Torrents Haloween 3.0
• Sinister Six [Sinister Six]
• 8-Bit Diagrams [8-Bit Boys]
• Heightened Titans [Heightened Titans]
• Digital Gangster LP [MC Lars & YTCracker]

So I’m running a little late leaving home. I forgot my directions, but it’s on 20, so it can’t be that hard, right? I stop at Staples to print out the cover of Sinister Six, so I can ask YTC to sign it. She says 10-15 minutes. I’m in a hurry, I leave.

I call my buddy Jay to make sure I know where I’m going. He give me some landmarks, to watch for. I manage to get lost anyway. (I hate driving, especially in Boston).

I get to the venue ~8:20. Lars & Frontalot are chatting up fans in the front at merch tables.

YTC is trying to get through his dinner, while still talking to fans. I fall in line for the Front, who is trying getting in bites of his pad-thai between greeting eager fans. He’s got Final Boss T’s (and now so do I). Have I mentioned what a cool and nice guy he is?

We small-talk about shows, I let him know the posts I’ve seen on Sundays show were all flattering.

I make sure he gets in a few more bites of food before handing him off to the next rabid fan and sliding over to Lars. No D.G. disks :.-(, 3rr0r is sad. Lars tells me to give YTC crap on it. I proceed to razz him on both that and 8-Bit boys (neither were in stock). While I’m at it, I he gets map props for Sin Six

Run my swag out to the car, come back in, grab a beer, and I start looking for ppl from the forums.

There’s some dude in a brown robe wandering about carrying a microphone. It’s not STD because he said he wouldn’t be there, and his robe is black anyway.

A few minutes later the be-robed gentleman takes the stage. His name is MC What I’m Saying. He recently wrote a piece called ‘Sincerely’ pleating with the almighty Front to allow him to play a song at the show (it worked).

He does that track, and a clever meta-song one called Wrapped in a Rap. The latter had some solid ‘snarfer’ lines.

He finished up to a pretty good audience response and came down to join the (somewhat unwashed) masses.

YTC takes the stage next. I’d never seen him perform before, and man it was a treat. YT can really work a crowd. In addition to the beat on his iPod, he’s back by Frontalot regulars Sturgenius and Blak Lotus. With the exception of ‘band’ efforts, I think he may have hit a track from each of his albums.

(It did throw me when I started hearing one of the NES beats after listening to 8-bit on the ride)

Set highlights: In My Time (Prompting an audience shout-out to rhymetorrents, also, me getting a fist bump during the song ), and I Am A Pirate

Set two starts with McLars joining YT on the stage and setting up his projectors to run off his iPhone.

The live-music video is pretty cool. This is the part where I tell you to go out and spend money on MC Lars. I feel like his wired mic was restricting his movement, and we should help him get a nice wireless.

YT and Lars work really nice together. I wouldn’t have guessed it before I saw it, but this works really well (too bad they don’t have my copy of D.G at the merch table ). The buddy-love song was cool but; the gay pr0n was a little distracting, and Fronts mic levels were too low.

Lars busted out some new mixes on some classic tracks, keeping up on the advice he game me, “Keep it fresh”. Again in the interest of freshness, YT shreds some on guitar in support of Lars’s rhymes. Highlight track: 21 concepts; this song has a lot to do with my making music, and the video was great.

After the Lars set, we get a few minutes off before Frontalot. I run into the man who’se chasing down some water for the band. I ask where his ever-present headlamp is tonight, only to learn it’s now in the great gadget drawer in the sky (broken). I thank him for coming out, and leave him to prepare for his set.

…”check,” I hear over the mic, as the crowd immediately closes in on the stage. Front is as on as ever. YT is never far from the sage, playing the roll of Hype man. That’s like whipped cream on this nerd-rap sundae.

Front’s got a fella on the keys I’m not familiar with, NPR (Where’s G-min?), along with the aforementioned Sturgenius and Blak Lotus. The bulk of the set came off NCR and Secrets. Final Boss was the only track off that album we heard (Gross oversight: No ‘Black Box’ on the eve of this election day.)

Highlights: Everything, but particularly; Dude & Catastrophe, with NPR taking bass, and Lotus taking lead guitar. (Frontalot: “You guys here in the front row all got 98%” “Anyone here from Harmonix who can tell me how I did?”) Nerdcore Rising; I love seeing new verses for this, and YT’s line about Obama winning tomorrow (today) had the predicable Mass-mass-nerd-gathering response.

All the guys put on a stellar show. YT & Lars can really work a crowd. No-one was afraid to turn the mic on the audience, and I hope we didn’t let them down.

Alas, NCR brought an end to the awesome music, but gave us fans another change to shoot the shit with these awesome fellas, and thank them for a great time. Lars makes YT promise me he’ll get D.G. up on the interwebs. (It’s not up yet, but good things come to those who wait.)

It’s not after midnight, so I pack up my memories of this killer show, and head home. On the way home I get lost again. WTF.

The new albums (buy them):

YTC & MC Lars – Digital Gangster

MC Lars – This Gigantic Robot Kills

MC Frontalot – Final Boss

Shout outs to Katsu & Toevah (Happy birthday!)

MC What I’m Saying, YTC, Lars, Front: Thanks! That was awesome.

Z.FTW

The response has not been as negativly recieved as the track itself.

ProjektZero:

Zombie plans? This quote is really long, man. The flow isn’t bad, but the vocals are buried in your beat, when they should be up on top. I understand your mic probably isn’t that great, but still. Compress that shit up some. This is some Max Brooks shit, though. Not a bad concept, so I’m not gonna trash your lyrics too bad. But Halloween isn’t a good time to do some Zombie Survival tips like you were talking to school children. You need to do it ZeaLouS1 style, Zombie Killah. As for this, this track plays like an instructional manual. I’m moving along.

The Ranger:

Beat is bad. Rapper is bad. Can’t listen. (2/10)

Mad Hatter:

Busy beat has way too many layers. Way-too-loud-electro synth mixed with bluegrass banjo mixed with Space Invaders machine at .00002 speed = way too much distraction. I can’t even concentrate on the words. But the flow is real cool, just can’t hear the low volume lyrics and the beat is pounding me in the head at the same time.

Anyway, I’m almost done with my solo contrib to the tape, hopefuly it makes the cut…

[EDIT]: Here’s the lineup atm. Holy-ass, YTC!

Last week, StarF threw down the proverbial armored glove on the boards, and I felt it nessicary to reply. At the end of the week, and against medical advice, I conceeded, so I could get some work done for RTH3 and RT8 (not to mention the first album).

Anyway, working on Halloween shit now, did something for RTH3, and now that dps has extended the deadling for the tripple-six, I may make something for that too (I hope wordpress doesn’t tell him that via trackback, cuz I can’t guarentee I’ll have the time).

I did finally figure out how to chance the styles in myspace, it’s still pretty broken tho, and I still have no friends :.(

I have also acquired a microphone other than the one I play TF2 on, I look forward to recording with it.

Listening to Lost Reality, not to gush fanboy, but I’m quite enjoying it.

Have fun at PAX everybody, maybe I’ll actually make something while you’re away.

*UPDATE* Version 1.1 of the demo is up for your listening pleasure. Same link, I replaced the old file.

It is done. This is the first demo I’ve put together of my very own nerdcore rhymes. It is called 3rr0r (intro track 0.82b-20080419) . It sucks, but you knew that already. And too bad, more one on the way, of equally appalling quality.

Notes to detractors & “playa hataz”:

If you don’t like the music parts: yeah me either. The are legitimately bad. I don’t write music at this time, but until I find a good person or piece of software to write my tunes, they will probably not be good. (But I will work to make them less bad.)

If you don’t like the voice: I know I’ve got a way to go, and some work to do, and I’ll get there, but C’m on man, that’s just me.

If you don’t like the rhymes: fuck you.

Seriously though, there’s a reason I have those guys on the left are listed as “the masters”. If you want something better, go listen to them.

I gotta send a shout-out to Mrs. 3rr0r, for being Awesome (<–w/ capitol ‘A’)

Off to Audiosurf the track while CoD4 downloads .

Anyway, the new track has some issues too, I’ll remaster it when I get a chance, and prob skip re-recording it for now. As you can tell, I have frequent issues with early release :-/.
