MC FRONTALOT ROCKS!

As mentioned earlier, I caught the Frontalot show at Crash Mansion in NYC.

The performance was tight... with multiple capitals and other assorted exclamations.

Nerdcore Hiphop Could Reign Supreme!

It was most of the usual crew but drummer, The Categorical Imperative, was missing and in his place sat Venom. Still, the sound was dead on. The rhymes were flawless, and the witty stage banter was exquisite. Gminor7 (Gm7), pwned his keyboard and assorted equipment many times over with his solid mastery of musical might, and his singing added that extra bit of polish to the show. Black Lotus, was a bass bashing behemoth of brobdingnagian proportions! The sounds generated by BL were far beyond anything that any bass has ever produced evar... EVAR! A few new songs of the new album, Nerdcore Rising, were performed. A few of the classics were thrown in. It's a shame the crowd wasn't as large as it usually is for the Front... alot of people missed a great show.

My only problem was with Crash Mansion itself. The downsized the drink size and made naught a change to the prices. Although, I only drank beer there, my homie companion was shafted. Even with that, the place is awesome inside, and the door guy had an awesome british accent.

After the show I obtained, for myself, one (1) signed copy of the aforementioned album which quickly made it's shiny spinning way into my cars CD player. I rocked that out all the way to Union City and then to New Brunswick. The old songs are masterfully remade and the new songs are killer. I think my favorite new bit of ear candy is the beat on "This Old Man". The collaboration on the title track, Nerdcore Rising, with Jesse Dangerously and MC Hawking was awesome. A little mc chris would've made it a nerdcore bonanza!

If you haven't heard the new songs, the buy the album. If you are a VSP, you can get some of the new material on the boards.

If you like music for being music, you'll love this album. If you enjoy witty words being weaved in wonderful ways, you'll love this album far more than you enjoyed my pathetic attempt at alliteration. If you love hiphop, you'll love this album.... even if you aren't into comps and tech.

Go buy it at amazon.
