MC Chris - Knowing Is Half the Hassle

I didn't really think much about the guy voicing MC Pee Pants and Hesh on Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sealab 2021 for a while. He was funny, and was capable of rapping, but I wasn't paying much attention. That changed when I watched him perform for After Hours at Gamespot last year (See the performance here). I then downloaded the EP he has for free on his website, Life's a Bitch and I'm Her Pimp. The songs were catchy with good beats, he really can rap, and the skits were funny. It wasn't until he announced he was ceasing sale of his albums on his website that I actually decided to get ahold of his other work before it was too late.

His next album was a little longer, still only eight tracks but only three skits instead of four. It starts out strong with "Ten Year Old", with nice bass and funny self-promoting lyrics about how he's great despite his ultra-high voice. "Cookie Breath" is a little cuter and poppier, and it's a nice love song that doesn't take itself too seriously. He performed "Hijack" (poorly, by his own admission) on G4's Attack of the Show, and it's a really good song, another one about himself. "White Kids Love Hip Hop" and "Geek" are both humorous, entertaining tracks making fun of his own white boy culture. My version of Knowing doesn't have the older version of "White Kids" featuring Andy Merrill, known for playing Brak on Adult Swim shows, but you can probably find it if you look. The three skits are about a nerd's revenge on a bully, and they're well acted and written, not to mention hilarious. You might have some trouble finding a copy, but if you don't, Chris himself has said that he's okay with his fans sharing his old music as he moves on in his life with increasing success.
