Nerd Rap
July 26th, 2005 -- Posted in Uncategorized | 2 Comments »One fond memory I have of my days at Berkeley is an occassion where a CS 61c student wrote a “CS” rap. He talked about everything from recursive functions and MIPS and put it to a beat. It made for a good laugh at the time and is one of those great memories from the college days. It’s up there with the story of a brash student who was infamous for having an attitude for GSIs and eventually claiming that he got some action from a girl featured in the Playboy college edition (which turned into an even greater story when she responded to him on class forums).
Today I was surprised to find that “nerd rap” has found it’s way from the depths of Soda to geek popularity.

One thing I found hilarious was a link to Monzy, a PhD student in the Stanford CS Dept.

She jumped like JNE up onto my erection
And I picked up that ho like straight garbage collection.

Even skanky fat hoes give you denial of service.
You’ll probably go to jail before you write your dissertation
So prepare your asshole for some internal fragmentation;

Genius!
