Going to a MC Chris show is like seeing a half comedy and half rapper show. The nerdcore rapper stopped by 7th Street Entry in support of his new record MC Chris is Dreaming.

Opening up the show were Mega Ran and MC Lars... who actually had very similar style, but MC Lars being a little geekier. Highlight of MC Lars’ set featured Mega Ran and local Neil Olstad of Koo Koo Kanga Roo showing up on stage to sing and dance to ‘Nerdcore Died’.

MC Chris came on stage, having confessed that he was so nervous, he nearly threw up backstage. I don’t think he was kidding, the man has butterflies in his stomach and he sounded anxious and nervous. He asked if the openers were okay, then quickly answered himself, “Of course they were!”

MC Chris opened his show with ‘I Want Candy’, an original song, rapped over Bow Wow Wow’s catchy ‘I Want Candy’ guitar hooks. Then he introduced his next song as a song about pizza and butts.... ‘Pizza Butt’! This was our second favorite MC Chris song, when we wrote about it in 2008 when he released MC Chris is Dead.

After ‘Hoodie Ninja’, a song about masturbating ninjas in hoodies, he got nostalgic about his very first song he wrote called ‘The Tussin (Robotussin)’. It was nearly 20 years ago (“Some of you weren’t even born!” he remarked) when he was housesitting his brother’s home in Connecticut when he wrote it.

Although MC Chris confessed he will never be a millionaire, one thing is for sure, his fanbase is quite passionate and goes to all his shows and sings along to every song. They’ll buy his records, they’ll get it signed (standing in a single filed line, of course), and they absolutely adore what MC Chris had to say.... including 10 minute rants about Star Wars and those Tauntauns or talking about respecting women, etc.

Midset, MC Chris announced that he was doing a costume contest. Those who came prepared came on stage in their costumes. While, personally, I voted for Kitty Pryde and Lockheed, the winner was the Beetlejuice deceased couple. They won $500 from Neca Toys.

After ‘IG-88's '57 Chevy’ MC Chris heard that MC Lars was mad/upset from backstage. When he asked why, someone mentioned that Donald Trump was winning the election. MC Chris joked that sounded like a “harbinger of good news.”

With a partial couple of lines from Prince’s ‘When Doves Cry’, MC Chris launched into ‘MC Chris Is Dreaming’, taken from his new record.

The finale was ‘Fett's Vette’, which was previously requested by fans in the front showing him pictures of Boba Fett. Of course, he was always going to play that song, and clearly, based on people’s singing along, this was the crowd pleaser.

MC Chris is Dreaming is out now.

Recently, nerdcore got a bad rap (bad pun, get it?) when Jeopardy’s Alex Trebek called nerdcore for “losers”. I honestly don’t know why people are so upset about it, he was only joking. You have to understand that Trebek is really that deadpan, even when making bad jokes.

Anyway, in 2008, we highly recommended buying MC Chris’s MC Chris Is Dead album: “So mc chris has an excellent new album out. It's called mc chris is dead, so go buy it, quickly now!”

The Los Angeles-based rapper, animator, gamer and Nerdcore pioneer is back with MC Chris is Dreaming (lowercase stylizing as mc chris is dreaming). Once again, he’ll make you laugh as he raps about Freddy Krueger or Netflix. Do you remember when DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince wrote “A Nightmare on My Street”?

MC Lars is one of the opener. We previously wrote about him in July 2015, when he was touring in promotion of The Dinosaur Zombie LP: “The title The Dinosaur Zombie LP might seem a bit random at a cursory glance, combining the obvious touchstones of Jurassic Park with The Walking Dead, but the meaning goes deeper.”

Mega Ran to open. The last time I heard from Mega Ran, it was for a promotional video for his song ‘Mackerel Sky’. Around the same time (February 2016), he was actually touring with MC Lars, so the two are old friends.

ALSO: Dress up for the costume contest and you could win $500 from Neca Toys (including Freddy Krueger toys and glove!)

mc chris

 

So mc chris has an excellent new album out. It's called mc chris is dead, so go buy it, quickly now! But first, have a listen. I picked 2 of my favorite songs to share with you guys. Firstly I chose the masturbation song. Upon reading the title I giggled and thought "oh this is gonna be silly", it's got this awesome throwback feel to it, old school and at the same time it makes me think of Donnie Darko. ya know what i mean? I dunno, anyway it just sounds awesome and the lyrics are pretty good too. It's about how mc was a bit of a jerk in middle school and then this dude totally tells everybody that when mc was at his house he caught him masturbating in his sleeping bag. Somethin' like that. It's really good ^.^ and Secondly I chose Pizza Butt. Sometimes when I'm just walking around or washing dishes I just like to say "THAT PIZZA BUTTTTT". You'll see why when you listen to the song. So fun to sing along to. or rap along to. However you choose. So yeah, go buy his album, digitally or hardcopy, don't matter. I plan to get a hardcopy eventually. Maybe he'll have some at warped tour here in Fresno. I sure hope so. I hope I get to meet him too. That'd be awesome! Oh yeah, he's got like a BAJILLIAN tour dates so please please please check him out. mc chris is the coolest. Add him on your myspace and read all his bulletins, he's great. I'll post a couple more of my past favorite mc chris songs too for your listening pleasure.
