The Adventures of Duane and BrandO

[Another World]

The Adventures of Duane and BrandO
8-bit Hiphop

Duane and Brand0 are the definition of NERD based GEEK hip-hop! Their albums are a parody of 8-bit gaming and silly dialogue. The EP of Doom is a free download and I recommend real hip-hop lovers give it play.

Once upon a time in the land of Hyrule, everyone was okay and everything was cool.
Until the Dark Prince Ganon appeared and said:
"The Triforce is mine and everything is dead!"

Thanks to BillyS for the good looks!

I fucking love their mega man 2 rap!

 

[rizzod]

use to work with these guys before they broke up, super cool guys.

They re-united, and they're doing live shows now. Last one was last week. Next one is in June.

 

[Rydian]

Their Megaman 2 and Super Mario Land ones are my favorites. X3

 

[lakaiskateboarding]

I love them. They are awesome!

I decided to download the EP and listen to it...Not bad!

 

[Gore]

I used to be a big fan and I waited forever for the LP and then I got it and everything was good and then I don't like much and my interest for them fades away.

 

[Maplemage]

Never heard of these people but their music is great!

 

[Xoo00o0o0o]

I'm officially addicted to their music.

 

[Seicomart]

Thanks very much for posting this man...Damn are they good...Loving the Pac Man and Casttlevania tunes..

I thought I knew most of the (best) nerdcore groups that cover videogames, but had never heard of these guys, now off to grab all their stuff ; )

 

[Moots]

Love Nerdcore, gonna check these guys out.

The king, MC frontalot is still head of my playlist. For those of you who haven't heard him, and are into nerdcore, he is the spear head of nerdcore.

Jesse Dangerusly, also is great, although nerdy, not always true nerdcore. A great hip hop artist still.

 

[SkankyYankee]

I go to nerdcore shows all the time!


To add to the list

mcchris - voices cartoon and an excellent lyricist. Raps about Star Wars, robo-trips, harry potter, kevin bacon.

YTCracker- a descent lyricist with beats straight out of Megaman and Blaster Master. Best VG beats Ive heard since OC Remix.

 

[SylvWolf]

I've had MadHatter's album 8-Bit Bullshit around for a while but never really listened to it. Been meaning to get some of DnB's stuff for a little while now.

 

[Seicomart]

and lets not forget....

YMCK, The Aprils, Mosaic.WAV, that girl who did Famison 8bit 1&2, Halcali who used to use 8-bit visuals back in their glory days, The Advantage, Metroid Metal, erm and lots more that don't spring to mind ; ]

 

[AXYPB]

I would have readily paid for this. They are the only people to have done nerd rap right.

 

[Yoshimashin]

Wow, this is piss old.

i didn't think such a dorky post could be made about duane and brando
guess i was wrong

"NERD-based GEEK hip hop" is probably the most redundant term i've ever heard, another world




and I'll be honest, I love hip-hop as a genre and I really, really can't stand Duane and Brando. They sound like pissed-off kids in front of a bunch of guitar riffs, "fuck" thrown here and there. Their Earthbound project sounded pretty great - really, if they pulled that off I think I'd have some more respect for them.

I never did quite figure out why MegaMan/Rockman was so popular in the USA, it was just about above average imho...From memory, the series had hardly any/if at all marketing until the snes days over here...
