When I saw the title of the article, I was ready to jump in the comments and just tell any rapper that we don't need your kind here. | |
So, none of you really know me, but if you did, the following words would make you go "WHAT THE FUCK?" That song is actually quite good. Downloading now. | |
Yeah, that was actually better than I was expecting it to be. I'm off to download the rest of it. | |
I just wrote a lyric like this.... Damn ninja rappers. | |
"Jayne Cobb (played by Adam Baldwin)" But... Jayne is a girl's name. | |
I don't really like rap, and I didn't really like this. I'm still going to download the thing though and give it a listen. It is free afterall. Plus the cover art is awesome. | |
Well Jayne ain't a girl. My god this is awesome, did not expect the songs to be this good. | |
was gonna say in b4 the onslaught of "BRAHHHH RAP IS GARBAGE" but guess i'm not quick enough that song seemed decent enough, will def. have to give it a download | |
That was my understanding. Which resulted in the confusion. | |
I'm wondering how Marvel hasn't sued him for his name yet. On topic, this song is pretty damn good. Keep it up, Adam! | |
I listened to most of the sample song. It's better than most nerdcore, which isn't saying much. I like my rap thick with wordplay and internal rhyme. This just doesn't cut it for me. Must have been fun, though.. so more power to him, I guess? | |
For a name like Mal, that was actually quite Bon! | |
I am totally digging the hip hop fiddle. :D | |
No matter how good the subject matter is, I just really don't like rap. I'm sorry D:
... I can't tell if you're saying that seriously, or that you've watched Firefly and know that that's a verbatim quote from River Tam. | |
Seriously - I've never seen it. | |
Adam WarRock is amazing, I've been listening to his stuff since he released an free album about the West Coast Avengers. | |
My usual hatred of rap has been trumped by my love of Firefly and of this song. Great work. | |
Everyone knows that all Rap sucks and sounds the exact same. ' -' Ahaha, nah, I kid. My mind doesn't have that narrow a range of understanding. *Downloads song* | |
I'd never heard about nerdcore, it sounds fascinating. And even though I love Firefly, rap is just not my thing. This, however, wasn't that bad. Still not something I'd see myself listening to.
Change that. You can pick up the entire series quite cheap on Amazon. | |
Wow there is a lot less "ITS RAP BURN IT! WE NEED OUR ROCK" I'm surprised.... This isn't to bad, I love tributes.... | |
Dunno, I love rap, I loved Firefly, but this does not impress me in the slightest, it sounds pretty awful. Lyrics are shabby and poorly constructed, his rapping is meh and while the sample is cool, it really doesn't combine well with his rapping - he's doing storytelling, which is fine, but he's using a gangsta voice to do it, which really doesn't fit with the atmosphere the song is going for. | |
I don't usually like rap, but this gets a pass from me. Firefly makes everything awesome. | |
I think you've answered your own ponderings. :) OT: | |
My favorite rapper of all time is making a song about Firefly? Guess I gotta watch it now... | |
Wow, you sorta forget what proper rap is until you hear it again. Mate has gotta keep doing this. | |
I'm going to piss the word firefly into the first snow of winter and see if it gets onto the front of this website. | |
Sorry man thought you were quoting...does that count as irony? | |
I love this so much. GODS I'm such a NERD! | |
Been listening to this for a few weeks now, I really enjoy the character pieces, but the rest of the songs are pretty forgetable. But it's worth it for the character pieces, the one about Book and Kaylee are probably the best, but the Wash, River and Jayne ones are pretty good too. Adam WarRock's stuff keeps constantly improving, this whole album is a lot better than his West Coast mixtape, that only had a few songs I really enjoyed, USAgent being probably my favourite and those were still a lot more repetitive. | |
Then go check out Hip-Hop Violin by Paul Dateh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Xt-XeWnHM Pretty boss. | |
"Pretty boss?" Feh. FINAL BOSS (did you forget that this is a gaming website) | |
Did you not click on a post with rap in the title? Ebonics, hoe. Learn them shits. I'm just playin' son. | |
AS AM I, SQUIRE I was playing off of your specific wording, the nature of the site in general, and attempting (poorly, apparently) to express that I really liked the thing you linked. Trust me, I get what you're saying, son. I may be white as the driven snow, but two years in Job Corps had a lasting effect. Hell, we covered local vernacular the first week in. | |
Just like the TV show not that great but alot of people will swarm over it. | |

Rapper Releases Tribute to Joss Whedon's Firefly
Former attorney-turned-rapper releases a big damn tribute to the cult sci-fi western series.
Starring the ever-cool Nathan Fillion, TV series Firefly sadly didn't last too long on the air, despite receiving high praise and developing a huge fan following. However, fans of Joss Whedon's cult series have something new to rock out with when running their next marathon of the sci-fi western; a full-length nerdcore rap album titled The Browncoats Mixtape.
Produced by Adam WarRock, a former attorney and now the internet's foremost "comic book rapper," The Browncoats Mixtape is probably the coolest musical tribute to the series ever, and features samples from both the TV show and the follow-up film Serenity. A subgenre of hip-hop, Nerdcore has a heavy focus on topics like science, Star Wars and Harry Potter. WarRock himself has written tracks covering all sorts of things nerdy and geek, ranging from Fallout 3, X-Men super hero Nightcrawler, to never having watched an episode of Doctor Who.
The lyrics in The Browncoats Mixtape are full of devotion to the crew of the good ship Serenity, with tracks like "Vera" describing the life of mercenary Jayne Cobb (played by Adam Baldwin) or "Still Flyin'" being all about the ever-cheerful mechanic Kaylee (played by Jewel Straite). It makes an excellent addition to the music collection of fans of either nerdcore or Firefly.
The best part? You can nab the entire 15-track set here for free.
