However you define "Nerdcore," I'd say that once a guy is dropping rhymes about the ins and outs of Mass Effect, he probably qualifies. But let's not get caught up in labels—these tracks, which premiered over at Destructoid, are a goofy good time.
They feature Memphis hip-hopper Adam WarRock sampling everything from Jay-Z to Guns 'n Roses while rapping about Normandy love-triangles, moral-choice systems, and the awesomeness of Mordin Solis. (He does not, unfortunately, rap about scanning for minerals in the game.
WarRock told Destructoid that he was taking a break from rapping about comic books and TV shows (he also has a 3-track EP dedicated to my favorite show on TV, Parks & Recreation), and decided to rap about video games.
The tracks from his YouTube EP are in the gallery above. The first one is:
"Paragon | Renegade"
Well okay, WarRock, you win a lot of points just for sampling some GnR. Downside: This tune starts a bit in the "paragon" camp, which I don't really identify since I'm Renegade Shepard or bust. But his chorus strikes a chord with me:
Paragon or Renegade there's got to be a better way
You know, Mr. WarRock, I too feel that the binary nature of Mass Effect's morality system is flawed.
