Mark Cooper is a multi-disciplinary Rapper and Producer, carrying the torch of Nerdcore from Detroit, Michigan. His branded work consists of a large body of verses and cyphers touching on all things considered “Nerdy” or from Gaming Culture, including references from but not limited to Gaming Systems of all brands, Transformers, Power Rangers, Halo, Naruto, and Tron, earning the perfect branding of “nostalgic.”

A phenomenal episode where we discuss Christmas movie traditions, hear Mark's new single "80's Baby" and chat with him about his work and influences.

Don't forget... we want YOU to be featured on our show! We want to give your geek passion a voice! Leave your 90 second geek rant at: www.speakpipe.com/worldgonegeek Every geek rant we use on the show will get a World Gone Geek vinyl sticker, in addition to getting the chance to tell the world how you feel about pop culture topics!

I hope you're ready. This is one epic episode! It's a bit longer than our usual episode, for a couple of reasons. 1) Our guest was running late, but we didn't know... so we spend a lot of time discussing other things waiting... and 2) We. Didn't. Want. It. To. End. I debated whether to edit out the bits where we were waiting for the guest to show up for time, but as I've said before... this is us... we're real, glitches happen, wrong buttons get pressed... and guests are sometimes late. But the show must go on!

Our guest is the incredible DC "The Brain Supreme" Glenn of multiplatinum hip-hop duo TAG TEAM... and we expected to talk about his career and of course, the song that skyrocketed them into pop culture legend status... and we did... but we did not expect to also have so much inspiring advice and wisdom dropped. DC is full of motivational ideas and energy, and we didn't want it to stop!

If you have a dream or a creative idea... I hope you're as inspired as we were by this interview with DC. He's a great person and a class act.
