    • GraceHead, on 10/12/2007, -14/+64white and nerdy!
    • Tanglefuzz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+112Representing the MS posse.

    • Lyanto, on 10/12/2007, -10/+72I read that as "Duke rapes" at first.

      I really need to drink coffee before reading digg this early in the morning.
    • thatgirlismine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I found this guy's blog post about the performance, for anyone wanting background: http://www.monzy.com/index.php?s=kill+-9
    • elk1, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3this guy is hilarious, one of the pioneers of the nerdcore genre. on his blog somewhere he has footage of an interview he did for some german tv where they actually thought he was emulating gangster rap.

      also a pioneer in EUI design (edible user interface)
    • elk1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17http://www.monzy.com/intro/drama_lyrics.html

      his first song, considerably better than kill-9
    • PARAPA, on 10/12/2007, -17/+2R to the mother ***** F homeboy
    • PARAPA, on 10/12/2007, -17/+1Deliberate mistake; I meant M :(

      Digg me down!!
    • livetheride, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Reminds me of MC Plus+, you guys ever heard of him? Both his albums (Chip Hop and Algorhythms) are free to download.

    • jasz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3this is genius...
    • jamend, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6http://cslibrary.stanford.edu/104/

      Stanford has some very interesting approaches to teaching CS.
    • ohgr, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3He's keepin it reall, while kickin it old school boooooy!
    • natmaster, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Don't forget MCPlus+ http://www.mcplusplus.com/downloads/
    • 1337hx0r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11This Genre is referred to as NERDCORE. If you're a geek at all, you can't help but to appreciate the lyrics even if you think the actual music sucks. Some of it is studio quality while others are obviously done with windows ME's wav recorder. For a listen to a broad spectrum, check out this for streaming MP3s.

    • rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -12/+4It is a slow news day indeed on Digg.com when a semi-crappy UNIX rap is the top story IN ALL TOPICS. Didn't a celebrity shave their head? No news on Anna Nicole Smith's autopsy? No athletes got arrested or came out of the closet? Guess I have to work today...
    • jknation, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1i first thought that it said

      "dude rapes about Unix commands at Standford."
    • Ziqing, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Lol, why were all the audience wearing saddles wearing socks?

      btw, music's pretty decent, good work.
    • cinnix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Whats with YouTube lately? It never streams at a steady rate and is just dead slow. Is it just me 'cus everything else for me runs normally?
    • mistaunix, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0I'm sick of all the ***** nerdcore. Peep:

      http://myspace.com/mistaunix
    • willorbill1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Nerd please,
      Futuristic sex Robotz http://www.futuristicsexrobotz.com
      is the best Nerdcore ever! PC Speaker is the ***** and way better than MC Plus + and Mozy, what did mozy make like three songs
      U wanna hear some hardcore nerdcore download WoW by FSR, then ull be lawln
    • jus1haz2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was so badass!
    • se1zure, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I hated gym, cuz I never was athletic,
      I played a couple sports just to keep it copacetic.
      But I found more in computers than i ever could in hooping,
      Every time I wrote a goto, bitch I had that baby looping.

      - ytcracker, meganerd. Much better song.
    • diggsIt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'll stick with Kraftwerk for my computer music fix.
    • funkycfunkydo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MC Plus+ can kick Monzy's ass (though they declared peace in January). His free albums are outstanding

      http://mcplusplus.com/downloads/

      I'd recommend Computer Science for Life, ASCII Antics, and Chip Hop Nerd
    • AegisGFX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This guy's penis is an inny.
  • diggapleaze, on 10/12/2007, -2/+172"So I pull my out my keyboard and I pull out my glock.
    I dismount your girl, and then I MOUNT /PROC!"





    Word.
    • lpcustom, on 10/12/2007, -43/+6He should have used umount /usr/girl
    • jues, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26Don't give up the day job lpcustom... ;)
    • Applemacmad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1after all of that, wouldn't it be easier to hit the power button?
  • schestowitz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12*LOL*

    If this makes the front page, will this be a case of receiving a lot of unwanted attention? I think not.




    Fo' shizzle!
  • rootlinuxusr, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12I couldn't stop laughing. Digg, and spread amongst friends.
  • n0xie, on 10/12/2007, -62/+4Nerds and rap just don't mix... This is so very very wrong. Funny, but still wrong.
    • XVampireX, on 10/12/2007, -3/+52It's not a nerd, it's a geek, who just happens to know more than you.
    • GawtMilk, on 10/12/2007, -27/+4He's still NEVER going to get laid.

      PROOF: schestowitz likes him.
    • riccohasdug, on 10/12/2007, -3/+27Blasphemy! Nerdcore is teh sh@!
  • SniperZero, on 10/12/2007, -15/+8Haha good on him... get linux out there :p.. even if its just for fun.
    • thatgirlismine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+61This song applies to any POSIX command line interface.
    • Real-ity, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37linux, bsd, aix, many more. Even GASP... OS X. Don't lump Linux as "TEH UNIX" please :(
    • jues, on 10/12/2007, -15/+2what is this, the ***** UNIX maffia representing?
    • lpcustom, on 10/12/2007, -14/+2jues an idiot
    • jues, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4@lp - oh you're just bitter that you can't rap... (not that I can either, so it's ok, maybe we can be friends?)
  • mwsherman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+190Watching that video gave me my virginity back.
  • supermajic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3that was some gnarly ***** right there
  • thatgirlismine, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8I'll write a pound define, and declare you as mine
  • httpgeek, on 10/12/2007, -6/+7sudo YEAH!!
  • Jdub7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5http://www.mcplusplus.com/
    Not Monzy, but a slightly better production. I only wish there was some clean "Chip-hop" so I could play with my kids around.
  • skiesel93, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I'll clear your ***** buffer!
  • DEEZED, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Pretty good, but if you want to hear some more nerdcore rap, check out FuturisticSexRobots.com
    • databyss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3MC frontalot and MC Chris are far superior to Monzy.
    • naws, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Don't forget ytcracker!! He is actually talented, unlike most of the other nerdcore stuff. If he rapped about ganksters he would prolly already have a big record deal and be on MTV.
    • kicken18, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2They are quality, the song ***** the MPAA is brilliant, the line on it, think its a chello, its cracking.
    • databyss, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2I would say ytcracker is at the bottom of the list.

      Jesse Dangerously and the likes of MC Lars and Beefy are some other well skilled beatsmiths.
    • zybir, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Beefy, less tech and less Digital Gangster, and more comics and generic geeksta lyrics, love him.
      Beefyness.com
  • lpcustom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24The backup nerd on bass adds so much to it
    • Bleeblaow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Yeah, it's kind of hard to play bass well and look like a rhythm-less nerd at the same time :)
  • dombi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23So how many chicks did you all count in the audience at the end of the video? Did they `sudo rm *` them all?
  • johnstar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1this guy is awesome!
  • dyvbond, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4*whispers* there *is* a video section *whispers*

    other than that...wow...kind of reminds me of "All About the Pentiums" by Weird Al

    I don't understand half of what he said but I already feel more geeky...

    ...and dirty.
  • Ramzy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11No video has ever made me cringe so hard.
  • vwvwvw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That was a lot better than I thought. I have to admit, I was entertained.
  • Viskisieppo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Well, it wasn't nearly as bad as Steve Ballmer with his hit song "Developers"
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zEQhhaJsU4
  • moltar2, on 10/12/2007, -8/+0 ghay
  • lanman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Hilarious!
  • 350Zed, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Wow... so that must be what life is like for guys who have to pay for sex.
  • billizm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Well, sounds like he knows his *****, it would be cool to hear a rapper rap this song, though.
  • Bullhead, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1So when's bad boy Billy G doing to do one about Ctrl-alt-delete? "Feck the elite, with vista there's no need to control alt delete".

    I know, don't give up the day job.
  • NikoK, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0Only rap I can sit down and actually go through the whole thing without puking :)
  • geminus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10My god... I'd prefer to watch My Favorite Net Things again, and again, and again... awe here you go,

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8498018224293852719

    If you're going to geek, that'd cool, but at least have class!

    Gem.
  • ricksbots, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5More like WOW.. that must be what life is like for people who can afford Stanford.
  • chompers66, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2That was cool and uncomfortably embarrassing to watch all at the same time.
  • caldroun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerdcore_hip_hop
  • SnapDragon21, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Yeah, but what if you want to just raise the interrupt priority all the way to the top?
  • Fredtheviking, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Damn, I just been out geeked.
  • prelude, on 11/12/2007, -1/+57Your mom circulates like a public key,
    Servicing more requests than HTTP.
    She keeps all her ports open like Windows ME,
    • Rich7ejr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4because there's so much drama in the PHD
    • hockey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Should be
      "Because there's so drama in the PHP"
    • dnissley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5cuz im a real big geek postin on d - i - g - g
    • dnissley, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6and i know i double posted so bury me
  • itsbecca, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Ohhhh man the level of geekiness this displayed made me absolutley cringe. And then I dugg it.
  • resipsa, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Strangely, I feel nothing either way.
  • r81984, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2This guy is not a nerd, he is keepin it real.

    The real nerds and fakes are loser rappers that one would see on BET. You can't get any more fake then BET.
  • dznqbit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2apparently a prerequisite for nerdcore is a complete inability at flow, jesus christ...
    • databyss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2That's only the prerequisite for crap nerdcore.

      There are others with actual ability.
    • Grimboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah there is some talent in nerdcore. Personally I think it's only going to get better. I mean, yeah, there will be *****. But why don't you see if you can do better? Because, well, you probably can, then someone else will think they can do better than you, etc. etc. etc.
    • imolloy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What you have to realize is that Monzy and MCPlus+ are both PhD students. They're not doing this to make a living. Closest thing to flow they should be able to do is max flow.
  • TroubleInMind, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3You're the tertiary storage; I'm the L1 cache...omg...lmfao
  • 32bitwonder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3grep this!!
  • Cyber_Akuma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I realize that this is basically a clear-cut example of the pot calling the kettle black but...

    Even *I* think that guy is a nerd for doing that...
  • aznmikex215, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Do I also have to make a tech rap song to get an internship at google?
  • Ammo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4for more on Monzy and other similar artists, check out rhymetorrents.com
  • airquotes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0He's rushing the flow, then having to pull back to compensate, resulting in a very unfunky groove.
    • ohgr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well what do you expect? He's a white boy from Standford University. I mean I hope you weren't expecting perfect delivery on par with Snoop Doggy Dog or Eminem.
  • piznut, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2This isn't rapping, it's monotone singing, and it sucks. Badly.
    • steamer25, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Isn't that the definition of rapping?
  • Kickersny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That was so bad; I love it. I think this will be my #1 for a while.
  • Elbow27k, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2lol wow, i didnt know to cut my ears off or just plain out kill my speakers
    • corneliusroot, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Assuming you're running FC6, the most appropriate thing to do would be

      kill -9 /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.10/firefox-bin

      Trust me. I'm a Linux sysadmin (and I think the song sucked)
  • solidus23, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh man! He's gonna get a ton of WoW poon!!!
  • daveboudreau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Also check out, MC Router:

    http://www.myspace.com/1gb

    she is my nerd core crush.
  • nomechingues, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4nerdcore rocks
  • JasonHears, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0I've never been so ashamed to be a geek...

    I'm weeping inside.
