El Nerbano
The Nerban (nerd + urban) ... best of both worlds
The Nerban is the hybrid guy that has carefully meshed the two worlds of hip-hop/urban culture and nerd/geek isms. The Nerban can run in the streets, hang on the block, be affiliated with 'gangstas', and at the same time be abreast with technology, have a diverse investment portfolio, and have B.A.'s and Masters.
The Nerban is respected by hip-hop culture because of his nerdy-knowledge of technology and such; in the same breath, the nerds respect the Nerban because of his knowledge of hip-hop culture. Each group lives vicariously through the Nerban to get a glimpse into 'the other side'; the gangsta's get to learn about what's poppin' with the nerds, and the nerds get to see some urban swag and style.
With the ladies, the Nerban is the prime choice for the lady that is not looking for a gangsta, not looking for 'poindexter', but is looking for someone with a little bit of edge & style mixed with knowledge & ambition. Most ladies will experience a Nerban at some point in their life, but will have a tendency to disregard the Nerban because he isn't too 'street' enough, and usually these ladies end up where the Nerban was lacking (i.e. the Street - out on their own, lost).
The Nerban has always lived throughout history, from:
The Goofy Nerban
Will Smith a.k.a. 'The Fresh Prince'
~ His goofy style of rap lauded him to a Grammy and a hit TV show, he then used that to develop a successful movie career - All this from "parents just don't understand".
The Conscious Nerban
Common
~ The type of brother to school you with spiritual thoughts, but isn't scared to go into battle, remember the battle with Ice Cube anyone??
The Arrogant Nerban
Kanye West

The "Odd, but can't hate on him" Nerban
Pharell
~ Clothing and style has funky colors and patterns, social activities divert from the norm, but this Nerban can deliver in the streets or the boardroom.
