He has appeared on many of Williams Street Studios' shows on Adult Swim, most notably Aqua Teen Hunger Force (as the crude and often misguided MC Pee Pants) and Sealab 2021 (in some bit parts, consistently recurring as the also crude and often misguided Hesh), and a part in The Brak Show. He also wrote for Sealab 2021 and The Brak Show, and later lent a track to the online music game Flash Flash Revolution.
Chris has released ten albums, the first of which is downloadable for free on his website. The albums are:
[2001] Life's A Bitch and I'm her Pimp

He completed several successful tours across the U.S. In October of 2004, he announced his resignation from Cartoon Network to the public on his blog to focus on his recording career (roughly halfway through the entry), but has said that he is willing to return to William Street when needed. He has since toured throughout the continental United States in an effort to expose all of America to the growing genre of nerdcore rap. mc chris encourages fans to mix his songs and play their own role in the growth of what is a relatively new genre.
In January of 2006, mc chris was a nominee for Spin Magazine's "Band of the Year" contest at Spin.com. But after gaining an over 20% margin in his first round battle with Demander, the voting was suspiciously shut down "for maintenance" and when it came back online Demander had been declared the winner. Demander has since denounced the results.
Buckle Up
MC Chris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a badass mother
If I'm at Dunkin' Donuts
Then I'm ordering a cruller
Better vacate the premises
I'm your new nemesis
Evidentally evil
When I hear hip-hop
I stop thinkin' violent ills
So much dope
My life totally looks like Silent Hill
(Hatchet-loving fools)
Ain't that fucking (rule)
More like Color Me Badd
I'm done with this fad
Got rhymes so many
I need additional storage
Hip-hop's on my cock
Like Goldilocks on porridge
Everything I drop
Gets picked up by the maid
Everything you drop
Sits on the floor for days
It's official, bitches
Mc chris give you the [?]
I'm the best rapper
Obama sent a certificate
Key to the city
I just saw every single titty size
Give these bitter bitches
Something uplifting to criticize
Mc chris will not be denied
He might just be the best rapper alive, yup
Mc chris, he fights for what's right
(His rhyme powered ride), let us all buckle up, yup
Mc chris will not be denied
He might just be the best rapper alive, yup
Mc chris, he fights for what's right
(His rhyme powered ride), let us all buckle up, yup
In "Buckle Up," MC Chris introduces himself as a badass mother and a force to be reckoned with. He takes on the persona of an evil villain, warning his listeners to vacate the premises as they are now facing their new nemesis. Despite his menacing tone, he claims that when he hears hip-hop music, he stops thinking violent thoughts. He asserts that he has so many rhymes that he needs additional storage to keep them all, and he brags that his music is so popular that it gets picked up by the maid while his opponent's music merely sits on the floor.
In the second verse, MC Chris further cements his place as the best rapper alive. He mentions receiving a certificate from Obama and the key to the city, which suggests that he's made significant contributions to music and the community. He then shifts focus to criticizing other rappers who he deems as "hatchet-loving fools" and announces that he is done with this "fad." He taunts his haters by telling them that they have something uplifting to criticize, implying that he knows he's good at what he does, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
Overall, "Buckle Up" is a playful and boastful track in which MC Chris revels in his skills as a rapper and takes on a larger-than-life persona, flaunting his confidence and wit.
