MC Frontalot first coined the phrase “nerdcore hip-hop” in the late ‘’90s to describe tracks laid down over homemade beats, featuring lyrics about everything from Star Wars to Nigerian e-mail scams. This year, he’s been on tour with a full band in support of his second full-length album, Secrets from the Future. While on the road, he was the subject of a documentary film, also entitled Nerdcore Rising.

SG had the chance to talk with MC Frontalot about the life of a professional rapper and the growing buzz around nerdcore hip-hop.

Don’t read this blog post. It’s not very good, and by the time you’re done, you’ll only wish you had spent that time looking up just about anything else on the internet. I heard this site has pictures of nice looking ladies without clothes on, maybe you should look at those instead.

Paul Bettany is a BAFTA-nominated actor who has acted with the Royal Shakespeare Company. He’s a hard man to pin down, given the wide variety of roles he’s had in a wide variety of movies. He’s played: a young Geoffrey Chaucer in A Knight’s Tale; a killer albino monk assassin in The Da Vinci Code; Russell Crowe’s “best friend” Charles in A Beautiful Mind and even Charles Darwin in Creation.

Scott Charles Stewart is a special effects expert who left George Lucas’ ILM to found his own company, The Orphanage, which contributed effects to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Iron Man, and maybe most notably, Korean director Joon-Ho Bong’s amazing monster movie The Host.

Stewart has recently started directing features, and with leading man Bettany has made a couple of religious themed action/horror films – Legion, about the Archangel Michael defending humanity from God’s wrath, and Priest, based very loosely on the Koreanmanhwa graphic novel series by Min-Woo Hyung, in which Catholic priests, who bear cross tattoos on their faces, have been trained to fight vampires.

Despite the success of the Twilight franchise, real vampire movies are alive and well. I found out as much in November 2009, when, on behalf of SuicideGirls I took a drive up to Woodstock, NY, to visit the set of Stake Land, a low-budget horror film that eschews sparkly, boy-band vamps in favor of the more traditional, animalistic bloodsuckers we all know and love.

Writer/director Jim Mickle, who made the rounds a few years ago with his much talked-about indie-horror film Mulberry Street, is the brain behind the project, a road movie that takes place in a post-apocalyptic North America, years after a war between vampires and humans has left the entire continent in ruins and relegated survivors to a medieval existence, living hand-to-mouth and traveling together in tightly-formed, armed brigades.
