I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s something about MC Chris’ half-serious, goofy-ass rap style that just works. Sometimes I can’t tell whether he's making fun of new-age cheesy euro-hook techniques or if he has mastered its catchiness. Either way, the dude's hilarious; whether he's spitting his nerd rhymes about Star Wars bounty hunters, “drinking blunts”, or being a “hoodie ninja", he is always on point. I don't care if half the joke is the music. All hail the king of the dorks. $15. 8pm. 208 S. 1st St., Ann Arbor. 734-996-8555. www.blindpigmusic.com
