Flat-Earth Argument Results in Rap Battle (npr.org)
New submitter mjjochen writes: A little something to make you smile (or cry). NPR reports on astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson calling out rapper B.o.B. in a Twitter (& rap) argument over the status of the earth (are we round or flat?). Rapper B.o.B. references the usual conspiracy theories to support his case in his throwdown (music). Neil deGrasse Tyson responds (actually, his nephew does), on why B.o.B.'s points are not very well-informed (music). As Tyson puts it, "Duude — to be clear: Being five centuries regressed in your reasoning doesn't mean we all can't still like your music." Shall we start leeching the four humors from the body again to achieve balance? Hrm.
Tons of it if you're not an old man with a closed mind ranting about how it's all been fucking downhill since Guy Lombardo or that all good music stopped after 1968.
If you are that guy, you need to recognize nobody else acknowledges your opinion on what's good. ;-)
