One Emcee Slick brings us Borderlands: the rap. “When you’ve got seventy million guns / why use swords and knives? / I chose the hunter Mordecai / and now I’m level 45.” He knows it.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun
It’s The Borderlands Baby, Yeah

Awful, hilarious, hilariously awful, and awfully hilarious. I think that covers it.

More awful than hilarious if you ask me.

I’ve seen college humour spoof videos with more rapping talent than this dude.
21/01/2010 at 20:11 Antsy says:
Um….is this a test? A rhyme for Slick immediately entered my mind, but I didn’t feel the need to follow it up with a rap. You Tube indeed.

Painful
21/01/2010 at 20:22 Jacques says:
It’s just screaming for a good video to be made.

This calls for a christian side hug!!

That there’s the true spirit of NGJ for you!
These guys may have been tossed aside into a cultural ghetto, but will they let it get in their way?
Of course not! They’re just going to start busting raps, fool!

The framerate of the video is kinda slow, 1 frame / 20 seconds. He looks, a District 9 weapon!
I can’t say if the music is good or bad. Not my tea cup. It kind of sounds ok for this type of thing, I suppose.

I hate most rap with a passion but nerdcore is a guilty pleasure.
21/01/2010 at 21:05 David says:
awful. just awful. bordering on painful actually.
21/01/2010 at 21:23 StalinsGhost says:
Crikey.
/me puts some Deltron 3030 on.
CLEANSE ME OF THIS HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE DEAR DELTRON.
21/01/2010 at 21:26 ChaosSmurf says:
Just kind bad.
21/01/2010 at 21:27 Leelad says:
Flow like a brick
21/01/2010 at 21:34 Chiller says:
Can’t really make up my mind, but we definitely need more posts tagged “I don’t know if this is awesome or awful”.
21/01/2010 at 21:46 StalinsGhost says:
Hint: It’s awful.
It’s very Deltron 3030. But shit.
21/01/2010 at 21:58 Wulf says:
I had an inkling this would be questionable when I saw the word baby in the title of the news post.
Does anyone still say that? Really? Oh no. Are we having a rebirth of the seventies?
…right, that’s it. I’m going to hibernate for a decade or ten, wake me up when it’s all over.

I think the Claptrap web series is also worth a mention; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BK4SJHK6eXE

I hadn’t seen that before, really enjoyed it, I must play the DLC at some point really
21/01/2010 at 22:49 mistabashi says:
It’s not really up to the standard of the now legendary Predato Rap….
21/01/2010 at 23:51 ulix says:
Flow is so so. Rhymes are good though. In terms of pure rhyming skills one of the best game-related raps I’ve heard (not coming from a professional rapper, that is).
When it comes to professional rap that is game related there definitely is a ton of better stuff (and i’m not even talking nerdcore):
Fresh Daily – Video Gaming.
Blumentopf – Profis.
“Bei Pro Evolution bin ich Meistertrainer, bei Gran Turismo bin ich Geisterjäger. Ich werd zum Kasparov, wenn ich Advance Wars zock.” (…) “Ich fahr die Rainbow Road mit geschlossenen Augen, und spiel Ninja Gaiden mit gebrochenem Daumen”
UNI – Castlevania.
“This rap shit be the code of life, its like up, down, up, down, A, B, left, right.”
…to name a few.
22/01/2010 at 00:10 Rei Onryou says:
This rap is better than my crash-ridden version of Borderlands. That’s how bad a port the game is.
Fix my fucking Borderlands!!!
22/01/2010 at 02:39 yns88 says:
After listening to The Adventures of Duane and Brando, all other video game-related rap music falls short. It’s a shame Duane and Brando hate each other now, so we probably won’t be seeing any more of their genius.

gah, wrong parody
22/01/2010 at 12:10 Richeh says:
Ugh. I’m fine with nerdcore, but this is just bad. I mean bad bad. Take it away and put it down.
22/01/2010 at 13:11 l1ddl3monkey says:
Stuff like this really helps dispel the myth that all gamers are fuck-off-massive NERDS.
/sarcasm.
22/01/2010 at 20:19 Mashakosha says:
This is terrible.
And not even the good kind of terrible. It’s absolutely god-awful.
