Science Expert B.o.B. Drops “Flatine” Diss Track Aimed At Neil DeGrasse Tyson: Listen
B.oB. had the Internet scratching their heads and rethinking everything they learned in astronomy class yesterday (January 25), when the rapper insisted the Earth is indeed flat.
“A lot of people are turned off by the phrase ‘flat earth’ … but there’s no way u can see all the evidence and not know… grow up,” he tweeted before astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson hopped in and gave the artist a much-needed lesson.
Fast-forward to today, and B.o.B. is now expressing his fake-truth in a diss track titled “Flatline” — yes, pun intended. Featuring soundbites from the astrophysicist himself, the song finds the rapper firing lyrical shots like “Neil Tyson need to loosen up his vest/Probably write that man one hell of a check” and even conspiracy theories like “Why is NASA department of defense?”
As of now, there is no word if Tyson will be bothered to respond with his own diss track. Get into “Flatline” in all of its glory, while reading their Twitter exchange, below.

@Sam_Prudence @bobatl If earth was flat we’d have already either discovered an edges, or there would be more & more continents discovered.

No matter how high in elevation you are… the horizon is always eye level … sorry cadets… I didn’t wanna believe it either.

@bobatl Earth’s curve indeed blocks 150 (not 170) ft of Manhattan. But most buildings in midtown are waaay taller than that.

@bobatl Flat Earth is a problem only when people in charge think that way. No law stops you from regressively basking in it.

@bobatl Duude — to be clear: Being five centuries regressed in your reasoning doesn’t mean we all can’t still like your music
