It's great that nerdcore has some more hip-hop focused artists, but that's ludicrous to say that certain artists moving this way in the genre is proof that it's "growing up and destined to go places". The artists you've listed such as Chris, Lars, and Front are known far and wide beyond the boundaries of the genre, and to say that they are "shackled" to it is utterly absurd. No one is "shackled" to the genre and I know that all nerdcore artists have the ability to broaden their musical skills. That being said, they don't need to conform to any (other) musical identity to do so. The focus of nerdcore in my opinion shouldn't be about conforming to any one standard or moving any one way, but instead to make music that's true to being a geek and is of a high recording/mixing standard. Musicians/rappers need to be creative and if they are, and dedicated, talented, and marketed properly then there will be fans (and with it, success in various degrees). I think that in itself would be more of a reason to say that nerdcore is "growing up" than any of this nonsense of the idea that moving the way of more mainstream hip-hop will make things better.

Been watching youtube videos all night and digging lots of these nerdcore jams! Very inspirational! I haven't been so excited about hip-hop since the very first Wu-Tang and I am so out of the loop I don't even know if that is a compliment these days, but it's meant as such! Thanks for introducing me to this, cheers! Meaty Ramone aka MLP Shit man, this blog here opened a new world to me today that I didn’t even know existed!
