Rocket Propelled Genius...

Just when you suppose you've seen and heard it all, you have a family member bring back reports from an anime convention, mind you an anime convention where none other than Dana Snyder the voice of the infamous Masta Shake of Aqua Teen Hunger Force was a guest, along with George Lowe of Space Ghost fame as well as a group of hilarious music makers known as Rocket Propelled Geeks.

These guys make some very literate "nerdcore" hip-hop, the best example has to be the play on urban braggadocio that is Crimson Twins a track about the two millionaire villain twins from the GI Joe TV series. These guys don't play off the novelty as much as you'd expect as the rhymes flow quickly beside lithe beats and melodies that you could swear were recorded off of the TV set during a game of Zelda (The Hyrule Connection). These guys sound like a geekier Cool and the Gang and as much as that may seem offputting, this is genuinely good music for people who are able to laugh at loving video games, Star Trek and D&D.
