NERD RYHME SKILLZ


I like hip-hop. I like D&D.
The following rhyme was inspired by a thread on the NerdNYC.com boards. The rhymes on that
particular thread are a little more innocent in nature than this one. But keeping in line with one of my favorite MC's
MF DOOM I though this one needed a little edge to it.

There a few D&D references as well as one from the movie CONAN THE BARBARIAN.
Also I just want to add that this creative output (*snicker* yeah right..) was partially inspired when a freind of mine just flat out called me a nerd. She meant it in jest, but it got me thinking about how many comic book and sci-fi references are peppered in alot of indie and underground hip-hop tracks. Company Flow's Funcrusher Plus has tons of them. El-P at one point delcares that "He sees through pussies, like the Invisible woman..."

And MF DOOM emulates, you guessed it, my favorite Marvel Comics Villain DR. DOOM.

I'm just sayin'...

Anyway, those who are familiar with RPG's will get alot of the references and those who arent won't. I guess one day I'll
clarify for those who don't get it. Also Shin is a reference to my handle on a lot of the boards I frequent, Shinhakkaider.
The name itself is taken from an older sentai show Kikaider. Hakkaider is the name of one of the villains of the piece. Many years later a (pretty awful) live action movie was made based around the villain called Mechanical Violator Hakkaider. The spelling I used for the name is different, with me adding an extra K in for effect (what effect? I have no idea..). Hakaider means "destruction" so I added Shin ('New") as a prefix which now stood for New Destruction.

Yeah, it's pretty silly. But then again most sentai or anime names from the 70's and 80's sound really cool in the original language but the translations can be a bit wacky.

And with that, on with the show.

Aw shucks!! It's Shin, what the fuck?
A black D00d into D&D? 
Super-hero games keep my heart warm (Except for V&V)
Robotech & Rifts are wack. CRAPTASTIC!!
Anyone who says different can get thier ass kicked. Powergaming bastids, couldnt find a story game with both hands, a torch and a 10' pole.
Eh, yo! Kill that orc and dont forget my gold, bro.
Mace swinging, undead turning, cleric from way back.
My patron deity declares that I speak the truth. 
In fact here's a truth you can count on: 
Always bet on black!!
Wack ass DM's need to get thier back broke,
"He in pain, yo," Take a toke of this Black Lotus smoke (It's Stygian! The Best!)
I'm Shin, straight up CE, fuck the rest!!
