MC Tanuki - Nerdcore Genius

Back in maybe 2007, I got way too mixed up in fighting with some terrible nerd rappers on the internet about whether they should make light of sexual assault or be racist dickheads.  My position was, and remains, that they should not.

One of them was really ticked off though at my intolerance, and actually recorded himself rapping over a sample from Tori Amos's "Me And A Gun."  You may or may not know that that song is a chilling retelling of a time she was actually assaulted in her car after a show.  I don't think it's funny.

So I teamed up with DJ Snyder, the guy who provides amazing scratches for MC Frontalot, and made this song in response.  I hope it made the dude feel bad, but even if it didn't, I hope it said to anyone else who may have heard it that he's a twerp for what he did and I want survivors to get more respect than that.

And nerds who don't like it are creeps.
