Definately a great album worth buying. Also, the hard copy CD contains a bonus track after "Smackababy," just in case you were gonna go to iTunes.

mc chris has been at this game for a long, long time. I remember hearing a homemade tape of his about 10 years ago.

Which is why this record is such a treat for me. The first three tracks of the record have a real raw, gritty sound to them. He's backed by "real" (non-electronic) drums, a lowdown distortion-heavy bass, and a melodic yet powerful guitar. I imagine him with his punk rock buddies just kicking it low-fi/tech, and the results are amazing. Feel-good pop-punk sounding songs, with chris' signature hilarious self-deprecating and sarcasting rhymes delivered with his signature upper-octave style.

Another highlight is "PWOM" -- Chris' answer to AndrewWK's "Party Hard". A anthem for the ages that should be played at ANY (above-21) social setting.

This release also is VERY heavy on skits. Which work for the most part. mc chris in heaven meeting Jesus? A great concept to begin with, but it gets even funnier as Jesus shares with chris what we would all do if we had Jesus' powers.

Certainly, chris hasn't moved away from his hip-hop roots musically, musically. "Check the Ring" and "wiid" are the highlights here. Each has its own grooving vibe -- the former a dancefloor booty shaker, the latter a righteous chillout groove.

A great release that I've been listening to non-stop.

The latest album from Nerdcore rapper mc chris (lowercase, no dots, rewind) features more of his signature sound: memorable beats, tight rhymes, comedy skits, and his infinitely memorable voice.

Rapping about subjects ranging from video games, to films, to partying, to illicit substance use, and rapper posturing, mc chris creates another winning album.

A note: Amazon.com lists track 6. as "Wild." It is, in fact, "Wiid." Also, there is a hidden track 14: a remix of "Booties For Breakfast."

I'm not going to lie, I bootlegged your album mc. It was a dark time. However, in a twist of fate that would change my life, my beloved hard drive full of delicious illegal content was stricken down and all data was lost never to be seen again.

Fast forward about 6 months, I'm hittin' up my first mc chris show, and lo and behold, a beautiful merch table with several copies of DMoC layed out for my purchasing pleasure. I pick one up, get it signed by my main man Chris Ward, and slam it in my baby blue 1990 Pontiac Sunbird's CD player. I'm chillin, groovin to the music, skippin the skits because you know they're only funny twice, and then what happens?

BOOTIES FOR BREAKFAST!?!? ON MY DMOC?! NO WAY! I must be trippin! So, what I'm saying kids, is buy the CD get the bonus track, and support mc chris. Cause the man is off the hizzle for bliggle. And you know it.

I've been a fan of mc chris (lower case, no dots) for about 10 years, and I missed this album when it first came out. I have to say that I am ashamed of myself for missing this album, because it is one of mc's best to date. The skits are amusing and the overall flow of the album seems very natural.

I'm also a huge fan of the name of this album. Call me a nerd, I won't deny it.

If you can find a copy of this album, hang on to it.

This is one of those albums that you can listen to many times without getting tired of. You can appreciate that he uses an actual band for this instead of repetative beats that you hear coming from alot of rappers, which doesn't add anything to the music and makes it uninteresting and boring. The skits that take place between the songs give a nice break and a quick laugh, specially "smack a baby" which has Dave Willis(of aquateen hunger force) as the homeless man.

MC CHRIS! Lots of classics on this one. An absolute must have for the fan, the curious, and the fan that wants to introduce the curious to the one the only the nerdy MC CHRIIIIISSSSS!!!!!!

MC Chris is the best "nerd" raper out there. The whole cd is great and funny as hell.

Dungeon Master of Ceremonies is a bit of a return to form for Chris. The skits are back and funny as ever, especially "The Package", about Chris arriving in Heaven and meeting Jesus. He continues to rap about whatever he wants; video games, drugs, himself, with geek references thrown all over the place. The album seems a bit more poppy and chorus-centric, but he never strays too far from his roots.

My favorite song is "Wiid", which has great rhyme scheme, lyrics, and beats. The preceding track, "Check the Ring, Yo" is a bit addicting too. "FTW" is a good opener, although it sounds better with the real music in the background, and that version isn't on the album. "Blastic" is a more pure hip-hop track with a nice sound. "OMC" features the return of Hallie Bullit, who does a lot of chorus vocals for Chris, and is a good song for shows. "Arulpragasam" is the next iteration of the more serious, wishful song that seems to appear on each record. It is one of many tracks that feature more actual music recorded specifically for the album instead of just beats made with Protools. It's interesting to see him branch out a bit and I'm looking forward to his next album which might be out by the end of the year.

MC Chris is a fine example of the Nerdcore genre of rap. His beats are original, his lyrics and flow are simply hilarious, but like most rappers, he is hit or miss. Some of the skits are overlong, but overall it's worth 10 dollars in my opinion.
