 Daily Tar Heel
Musically, nerdcore borrows heavily from the legends of gangsta rap with its boastful lyrics.
The main distinction between nerdcore and traditional hip-hop is its lyrical content, which references geeky topics from Star Trek to Craigslist.org or just revels in geeky irony.
MC Plus+ maintains that it is strictly hip-hop music, while others, such as MC Hawking - who also raps in the nerdcore rap-metal outfit Dark Matter - claim that the music is not limited solely to rap.

 Cool - Nerdcore Gangsta Hip Hop: geeks get rhymin'
Whereas many previous Nerdcore hip-hop tracks, such as the early works of MC Hawking, have passable to poor production values, the genre is steadily improving.
While Nerdcore definitely has its tongue in its cheek, its language is a scary facsimile of internet speak.
Unlike many previous works in the genre, the production is actually pretty damn good, and to the average listener, would easily be mistaken for a professional hip hop production.

His songs are defined as Nerdcore not because they are all of a certain genre that is at all similar to Hardcore rock music, but more because of their subject matter.

While gangsta rap is seen as celebrating the violence and aggression that claimed two of its brightest stars, “geeksta” rap is a hip-hop genre celebrating “coding skills and school grades.”
