Nerdcore For Life, A Documentary About Nerdcore Hip-Hop

by Scott Beale on July 8, 2008 · 3 comments

“Nerdcore For Life”, a documentary by Dan Lamoureux about Nerdcore Hip-Hop, screens this Saturday, July 12th at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco as part of the San Francisco Frozen Film Festival.

The term “Nerdcore” refers to both a sub-genre of hip-hop music that is created by self-professed nerds and to the subculture that has grown out of that style of music.

Nerdcore For Life! profiles the fascinating and tumultuous world of Nerdcore Hip-Hop. Born on the internet, “Nerd rap” is breaking out into the real world at a lightning pace. Our cameras follow the top names in this new genre as they celebrate Geek Life to the fullest and deal with the common obstacles that block musicians of all genres from fulfilling their dreams.

Here’s more on the “Nerdcore For Life” screening from Doctor Popular.

Scott, fyi – my buddy “Z” (who writes for us at GeekDad.com) also runs his own site, hipsterplease.com, where he covers the nerdcore community quite extensively, and has followed the making of Nerdcore for Life. He'll also be reporting on Nerdapalooza, which happened down in Florida this last weekend, quite a bit this week.

Jealous!

Will that be coming out on DVD soon or (better yet) have a national release?

aijoskobi, the plan is to release it as a dvd, but I'm not exactly sure when that will happen.
