Weekly Blog (5/25/18) Neil deGrasse Tyson rap battle

If image does not work click here.
Summary
          Neil deGrasse Tyson is 59 years old and born on October, 5, 1958 in The Bronx, New York. In 2016  B.O.B. the rapper made a lot of tweets about flat earth and accusing NASA of lying. Then when B.O.B. posted a specific post with a picture of him on a hill with Manhattan 16 miles behinds him saying that if the earth was really round, how could you see Manhattan, Neil deGrasse Tyson responded in a short series of tweets saying
"Earth's curve indeed blocks 150 (not 170) ft of Manhattan. But most buildings in midtown are waaay taller than that."
"Polaris is gone by 1.5 deg S. Latitude. You've never been south of Earth's Equator, or if so, you've never looked up.".
When B.O.B. saw this he made a song talking about how much he must get paid by the government to say that. This song is called Flatline (explicit). Here's one line: "Aye, Neil Tyson need to loosen up his vest / They'll probably write that man one hell of a check." Naturally Neil  deGrasse Tyson asked his nephew to help him make a response. This song is called Flat to Fact (also explicit). So far, nothing more has come from this.  I got this information in an article from npr if you want to read more.

          This week I conducted investigations by finding out more information than I already knew about Neil deGrasse Tyson. In my previous blog I wrote everything I could think of but this week I had to find something else. So I looked on the npr website and sure enough; they had many articles and I chose the one about a rap battle because Neil deGrasse Tyson is a pretty cool guy and I though it might be interesting. It was. But now I know that if I ever need an interesting story or interview with him I can just look on npr.

          If you mess with Neil degrasse Tyson, he will mess with you worse. Just like Wendy's on twitter. This is cause and effect. There is really not that much more to it. Just stay away from messing with Neil deGrasse Tyson about science. He knows what he is talking about.
