Biggie vs Tupac.
Jay Z vs Nas.
The dude who did Airplanes vs an astrophysicist’s nephew.
Anybody who thinks that last beef doesn’t belong in the echelons of all-time greatest rap feuds obviously hasn’t heard about the smack-down between B.o.B and Neil deGrasse Tyson.
ICYMI, the bloke who was basically called up to give Bruno Mars and Hayley Williams a breather decided to subscribe to Professor Tila Tequila’s newsletter and, you know, really ~ connected ~ with the whole flat Earth thing.
Long story short, prominent guy-who-knows-more-than-struggle-rappers-about-planets Neil deGrasse Tyson offered some handy hints as to why that’s not the case.
B.o.B subsequently dropped the supa hot fiyah that is Flatline, rallying against deGrasse Tyson, all of that pesky government brainwashing, and presumably urging his listener(s) to accept the fact we’re not living on a giant sphere.
Today’s response to this unforgiveable diss comes by way of deGrasse Tyson’s nephew, who just so happens to be a rapper in his own right, and he wouldn’t let this flat Earth bullshit go either. Nor would he let the fine Tyson name be dragged down by such obviously ridic claims.
Thus began the greatest musical face-off all time.
The self proclaimed “DJ Khaled of teaching Bobby about the sun” goes, presumably, as hard as he can to champion “the change of seasons. The planet spins around the sun, do you even need more reasons?”
No, actually. This is already perfect in nearly every way. The bloke’s clocked up nearly half a million Soundcloud plays off the back of someone who doesn’t know how the Moon works.
Maybe he’s in on it.
Since all mass media wants to make me look crazy and drag me through the mud… make sure you mention the cloning centers I talked about
