The hip-hop of Shakespeare: MC Lars at TEDxUSC

Andrew Robert MacFarlane Nielsen, more commonly known as MC Lars, has experienced first-hand the power and influence of music. Discovering hip-hop for the first time as a geeky, out-of-place teen he went on to study English at Stanford. A pioneer of "nerdcore hip-hop" and the self-proclaimed originator of "post-punk laptop rap," his music videos such as "Ahab" "White Kids Aren't Hyphy," "MC Lars' iGeneration," and "This Gigantic Robot Kills" have swept YouTube with their nerdy charm. Lars is now exploring how to use hip-hop to teach teens literature and creativity.
