The pair have released three full-length albums (1999's Nia, 2002's Blazing Arrow and 2005's The Craft), a group which is generally agreed to not be nerdcore, despite science-oriented songs like "Chemical Calisthenics").[citation needed] Conversely, one does not need to concentrate on those topics to be nerdcore: most of the songs by both of the undisputed leaders of the genre, Frontalot and mc chris, do not focus narrowly on stereotypically nerdy topics. The difference is largely one of self-identification; the group Blackalicious does not identify as "nerds", while Frontalot and, to a lesser extent, Chris both do.[2]
