Rapper B.o.B. and Neil Degrasse Tyson Beef Over the Earth Being Flat (Really)

And look up #FlatEarth for all you cosmology truthers out there.

If you have heard the hip-hop songs, “Airplanes”, “HeadBand,” or “Throwback,” then you are familiar with Georgia’s B.o.B.

Born Bobby Ray Simmons, Jr., the 27-year-old rapper has channeled his inner naysayer from the 15th Century. You see, back in the late 1400s people thought the earth was as flat as a pancake.

Of course, thanks to Columbus, Vespucci, and Magellan we learned that it’s not.

Good ol’ Bobby must have missed that day in school because he doesn’t quite buy all those globes in school he sees in school.
