The Graduate by MC Lars



What do you get when you combine a white collegiate rapper who hardly ever swears, some Supergrass samples and a lot of ‘insights’ about Myspace and (shudder) the ‘iGeneration'? This
album, which might as well be subtitled
‘Now That's what I Call Rap/Rock Novelty Hits 2006'. Not since The Bloodhound Gang's ‘The Bad Touch’ has someone been so unafraid of the cheesy. the geeky and the shameless. which is why MC Lars sometimes strays into the territory of mad genius (‘Moby Dick’, which retells Herman Melville's story to the strains of the ’Grass's ‘Moving’) and at others is so infuriating you want to take a pickaxe to the stereo. All Lars needs for ubiquity is one spin from Chris Moyles. Don't say we didn't warn you.
