Great post - I love Sage Francis!

Saw him live in London a couple of times - his spoken word is incredible!

My friend Jesse Dangerously is featured in the Nerdcore for Life movie, although he says he doesn't know how much actual screen time is devoted to him. Is this a different nerdcore movie that is somehow also about to be released? wtf?

Anyway... what Jello Biafra said is totally true. While Jesse does have tracks like Level 3 boss, which is about waiting in a room for a video game character to come and defeat you, he also does a lot of more serious material as well. He definitely doesn't self-identify as being "nerdcore"

However, that being said, his music really is quite a bit more intelligent than a LOT of rap that is out there. I would say he's closer to say Sage Francis than MC Frontalot, although admittedly he did produce beats on Frontalot's album.

Hey, am I allowed to post a video of my friend rapping? I had nothing personally to do with the creation of the video- it just happens to be a guy I know.
