Good to meet a cosmically-bonded interloper among the spambots.<BR/><BR/>The overlap between hip-hop and science is something that fills me with joy. I was aware of its prominence in the world of old-school hip hop, which was actually full of nerds. Recently, it's been confined to more out-of-the-way acts such as Deltron or TV on the Radio, which isn't even hip-hop. What I'm trying to say is, I will have to check out that Fugees track.Pharaohmagnetichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16651794068039224711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704551.post-19107190920418881062008-12-15T12:19:00.000-05:002008-12-15T12:19:00.000-05:00In her defense, flat combs suck too.Also: you're ...In her defense, flat combs suck too.<BR/><BR/>Also: you're either an incredibly good markov chain spambot, or an actual real live person.

I love the internet!<BR/><BR/>Yeah, so I was listening to Zealots by the Fugees, and it's all physics-y! <BR/><BR/>like:<BR/><BR/>gaze into the sky and measure planets by parallax / check out the retrograde motion<BR/><BR/>behold, as my odes, manifold on your rhymes / two MCs can't occupy the same space at the same time<BR/><BR/>more powerful than gamma rays / my grammar pays<BR/><BR/><BR/>But then, in Vocab (another Fugees track), Lauryn Hill says something about "sucks like a flat comb", and I was SURE she said "sucks like a black hole". Oh well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
