Nerd Rap Inspiring Nerdy Kids to Rap
The quirky label of music, deemed nerd rap by the haters, is inspiring a new generation of rappers. No chains, no Escalades and certainly no time for those hoes. Subtract that and add pocket protectors, calculators and nasal spray; you’re about to get battled rapped by a nerd. Ya heard.
Cedrick Wilford, a self-proclaimed nerd rapper, helped jump start the movement at his local high school. “I started listening to rappers like Aesop Rock, Illogic, Slug, Slim Thug, Nas, Paul Barman etc. I became quite fascinated with this nerd rap stuff, it’s pretty neat. Not as neat as my locker though,” Cedrick told us. “One day I thought to myself, hey this stuff is pretty nerdy like me, maybe I could jump on the bandwagon?” Cedrick pondered.
Later that month, Cedrick organized the first battle in the school gymnasium; nerds only. “It was pretty cool, we didn’t even have a shaparone, so we could use some cuss words here and there,” he said. “It’s all about off the top… freestyling, or as we call it, off the geodesic dome. I’m starting to feel more confident in my nerd rapping abilities.”
“I’m the TI-89 of the rhyme, my Jedi skills are intense
Hence, I level up three times before you can spit your first sentence”
Those two lines right there won Cedrick the title of “Champion Nerd Rapper” at last month’s battle rap competition. This nerd rap phenomenon is sweeping the nation, one chess club / Dungeons and Dragons convention at a time. Be careful when confronting a group of nerd rappers to battle, they roll at least 8 nerd deep everywhere they go.

I KILL NIGGAZ, PULL DEM TRIGGAZ , JUST TO SEE MY FIGURES. All I need is 1 time, 1 rhyme, 1 life, 1 clip, 1 nigga ta shoot it. We got an honer code, but lately it’s been dishoner mode. When my homie died, I went to da service. He sat in the coffin, never realizin his purpose. All it took was 1 cop, and that 1 cop who came up and aint bother askin. Pulled out his gun and started blastin. Could it be that my homies time was up, his lucks run up,MAYBE he didn’t come wit enough.PUll OUT A CLIP. FUCK BEING HIT. HE WASN”T READY TO BE PUT DOWN IN HIS CRYPT. BANG! BANG! CLICK CLICK he’s out of bullets, he got up and ran with his feet and his speed at the fullest. THE 2ND COP EMERGED, and shot him from 20 feet away like lary bird.
IF NIGGAZ WANT A WAR I”LL PULL A GUN my crew and I, walk like, warriors we were never taught to run. Crack and Cocain got lives undone. My Dreams and Ambhitions finally collide. Ya cant always stay Alive, ya gota die. Lifes a puzzel, I put 2 peices together, when I rap and when I hussel. I’M A GENERAL, I’M THE 1 THAT TOLD THEMS NIGGAZ TO GO THERE. ALWAYS PREPARED, FOR WARFARE. THE MORE, THE MARRIER SO BRING SOME MORE HERE.POP! POP! comen close to defeat and death screamin and gaspin for my last breath. BUT IMA FIGHTER, I’LL BRING AN ARMY EXPECT NO LESS. IF YOU HERE 1 SEMI EXPECT THE RESS. I’M uh KILLER I CAN NEVER DIE, IMA IMORTALIZED.
Any body can be a wanksta. Putting fingers in the air don’t make you a gangsta. Just because ya hoods the baddes dont make you have killa status. Im from the land of the hation sun, my prophecy fufiled as the chosen 1. In my 12 year old age, I’ve RIPPED mo niggaz then plagues. As a youth don’t nobody play me, cause on the street I sell mo white then slim shady.SO PUT ME IN A TOMB FOR MY DEATH, AND IN 3 DAYS EXPECT ME TO RISE FROM THE ASHES AND AWAKE FROM MY REST.
peace me and my boy MICHEAL got any body who wanna step up!

We invented the nerd rap, I heard that sound that steady pounds
We call it Posguttah in the streets of New York
The original home of the most talented in sport
LYFE KIDZ are the pioneers of club banging intellect
Street bravado mixed with a message of educational dialect
We set everyone correct
We’ve traveled the country and fought for our existence
On street corners, till national television took a listen
annihilating an MC is a minor mission
We envision the esoteric energy
Run dem Pistons
http://www.lyfeproject.com
Get at that
Then get at us
The originating calm
One LOVE
WATCH L.Y.F.E S.U.X. T.V. THE NO. 1 PUBLIC ACCESS SHOW IN NEW YORK CITY AIRING IN EVERY BOROUGH PLUS LONG ISLAND…
