High-pitched and hidden behind his ever-present low-slung black baseball cap, MC Chris is the comic-loving, videogame-playing antithesis to the common conception of rap music. From his beginnings in Cartoon Networks late-night programming, most notably as MC P Pants in stoner favorite Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Chriss natural comedic leanings and lightning-fast flow paved the way for the cult nerdcore following, with the Star Wars-centric Fetts Vette–a taste of what collaboration between Mickey Avalon and George Lucas might sound like– and the nerd girl anthem titled, well, Nrrrd Grrrl. Despite the lightweight subject matter, MC Chris is a legitimately sharp rapper–albeit one who is perfectly content goofing around over a Casio synth beat. With MC Lars, Math The Band. NICK FELDMAN
