The style of music you're referring to is called Nerd Core. I had a friend who was really into it and he took me to a show about ten years ago. Lyrics ranged from video games to math and physics with clever word play and a lot of "in" jokes targeted at the intended audience. I had fun and could see why my buddy enjoyed it so much.
A few sent some of those to me. Here's one that's not so bad that describes many [criminal] hackers' lives from start to rough parts to reform.

It was different and enjoyable hearing someone rap with terms nerds would recognize. Now, we just need someone with the talent of a big-name, pop singer doing it. :)

Of course, that describes regular rap music pretty well too, but somehow that was just never officially nerdy enough.
