Support NeoGAF

[Vanillalite]

So we had this thread yesterday about hip-hop/pop star BoB going off on Twitter about how the Earth is Flat, everyone who thinks the Earth is round is a fool, and fuck scientists like Neil degrasse Tyson cause they are liars.

NeoGAF B.o.B. Flat Earth thread

Anyways he went and made a diss track to all the round earthers and specifically Neil Degrasse Tyson. It was posted late in the other thread, but figured it might deserve its own thread.

oh gawd, this is hilarious

 

[WedgeX]

I would like to see a pardoy video of this starring NDT.

 

[Markitron]

I'm late to all this, it's all a joke right? Noone is that stupid.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Lyrics fell flatter than the earth.

 

[kulapik]

Do your research on David Irving, Stalin was way worse than Hitler, that's why the POTUS gotta wear a kippah

...did he do what I think he did?

 

[Lunar15]

Like, this almost feels like a publicity stunt.

IT'S A #CONSPIRACY.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Casual holocaust denial in there too. Great look for the ATL, fam.

 

[Anoregon]

I hope this genre takes off. It kind of started with that ICP song, but this might help it get to the next level. A whole collection of music where ignorant ass shitheads who don't understand science get mad at people who do.

Where's the track where Lil Wayne hates on Isaac Newton because gravity is fake?

Spoiler

I am not necessarily saying weezy hates science he was just the first rap name that came to mind

 

[Akronis]

Reading and listening and watching Flat Earth arguments is some of the best entertainment.

Keep 'em coming B.o.B.

 

[Dictator93]

...did he do what I think he did?

Something something global jewish conspiracy something something.

Man those be some dope lyrics.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Am I going insane or does the image he used feature a curved earth? Like, if you draw a line there is definitely curvature to the planet or do these people not recognise the atmosphere as
not being land?

 

[phazedplasma]

wow lol

#ded

 

[The Kree]

...did he do what I think he did?

Deny the Holocaust? Yes, I think so.

 

[Sickboy007]

What a fucking idiot.

 

[nortonff]

B.o.B just gave me an epiphany. I feel enlighted! Thank you BoB, I'll watch my step from now on so I don't fall into space.

 

[FairyD]

Come on man, this is a joke right?

I'm pretty gullible, but this! Come on man, this is an elaborate troll.

 

[Mimosa97]

Soon you'll hear the guy joined NOI

 

[Fermbiz]

I don't want to live in this planet anymore...

[Wendel Clark]

nas said scientists were lying about humans evolving from apes

and scientiests lie and get shaggy 2 dope pissed

 

[bronson]

I don't think this is as much of a joke as it is a huge publicity stunt. And it's working -- I didn't know who B.o.B. was last week.

 

[kulapik]

He must not be that insane if he managed to get people talk about him.

 

[Lunar15]

Wait, did he name drop David Irving and then point out Stalin was worse than Hitler?

Nah.

 

[Markitron]

I don't want to live in this planet anymore...

Then walk off the edge

 

[Arkos]

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

Fuck doctoral physicists and their validated scientific techniques. I know the earth is flat because I'm BoB, trick

 

[Guy.brush]

I don't want to live on this disc anymore...

fixed

 

[Xater]

We peaked early with the stupid in 2016.

 

[Siegcram]

Yup, giving props to Hitler is great for your mindshare. Oldest PR trick in the book.

 

[CDV13]

I have always liked this dude's music for the most part, and this beat is nice....but cmon Bobby....get it together man.

Yeah this just has to be promotion for his next album. There's no way he can be serious about this.

 

[IronRinn]

Two Thousand and Sixteen CE.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Plot Twist: He is doing this on purpose to get attention. He knows how much "How do magnets work?" got talked about. By taking this stance he can honk a lot of attention from people. Attaching Degrasse-Tyson is just free marketing.

 

[Slayven]

Man how do you surpass Lupe in being a stupid motherfucker?

 

[TouchMyBox]

By listening to this track we are ensuring more of this.

 

[Mimosa97]

Downplaying the holocaust and making casual references to a reknown white supremacist antismite is good PR ?

 

[WedgeX]

Up until that whole holocaust denial and jewish conspiracy part...

 

[Siegcram]

I can't wait for Big Ghost's take on this.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

LMFAO!

From the "there is no such thing as bad publicity" point of view, at least.

Wow, you think so?

I didn't say it was a GOOD publicity stunt. I'm just saying this comes suspiciously close in timing to Tila Tequila's recent flat-earth claims -- dude probably figured if that could get everyone to remember she existed for a second, something similar (and more exaggerated) might work for him.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

I saw his twitter earlier and its pretty crazy.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

This guy does realize Hitler would go after his ass too, right?

 

[sixteen-bit]

I would like to see this escalate. NDT response track pls.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Idiocracy is real.

 

[Kinyou]

I wonder how flat earthers explain ships disappearing over the horizon

 

[Anoregon]

I would like to see this escalate. NDT response track pls.

This is close enough (skip to about 1:30 if you want)
