I thought Monzy's "Kill Dash Nine" was even funnier.

(Monzy was one of my TAs last year!)

I prefer the MP3 version. Here it is, complete with an insightful intro by the man himself:

What about MC Hawking? Entropy is my song: http://www.amazon.com/Brief-History-Rhyme-Hawkings-Greatest/...

Bah...you want some actual hardcore CS rap

MC Plus+ http://www.mcplusplus.com/

Featuring such masterful lyrics as:

  Project 2 in the databases,
  around deadline I see desperate faces.
  Concurrency control using two phase lockin'
  two writes coming in, second one is blockin'

Is he a representative of the east or west coast contingent? This is consequential, you know.

doesn't MC Hawking rep Cambridge? (the one in England)

Sure does (East Side). I was talking about MCplusplus, though.

for those that haven't seen this one yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTby_e4-Rhg

"The best confluence of hacking and hip hop"

That's like saying the best confluence of oil and water.

Um, no, you're just being arbitrary. Someone could just as easily say that about hacking and heavy metal. They'd be just as wrong.

Actually it is worse than arbitrary. The greatest bastion of electronic music in the main stream is in hip hop. Metal makes far less use of computers and such.

Isn't calling someone wrong kind of arbitrary?

I didn't call you wrong. I said you are equally as wrong as someone who says some arbitrary other type of music is antithetical to hacking.

Then I'd also be equally as right, right?

That feels a little less arbitrary.

Exactly. :D

you obviously haven't heard of the genre "nerd core". it's exploding.

You're right. I'm far too nerdy for anything that's "exploding".

Isn't "nerd core" a contradiction in terms?

I had no idea. That was too good. (Except the bit about being picked last for dodgeball was hitting a little below the belt).

I'm glad I saw that. Now destroy that link forever.
