NASA Produces Rap Video On Astrobiology 113
An anonymous reader writes "You've seen the Large Hadron Rap by Kate 'Alpinekat' McAlpine. Now a NASA magazine has commissioned an astrobiology rap. Jonathan Chase, aka 'Oort Kuiper', produced a six-minute YouTube rap video on astrobiology, the scientific search for extraterrestrial life. The lyrics include: 'We've been on Earth for many years and we are still producing answers; as time passes, collective knowledge advances.' This epic rap battle sees Alpinekat/CERN on top with over three million views on YouTube compared with about ten thousand for Oort Kuiper/NASA."

When Eric Clapton plays a mean blues guitar solo, he can do so minus the countless medallions, bling jewelry, fashion street clothing and any need to wave his hands at the camera.
Maybe you need to be black to appreciate rap music but it never ceases to amaze me how the much deeper culture of black blues music, played equally well by both black and white musicians, is totally ignored by those who follow rap and modern black street culture.

Rapping well actually has a lot of skills in common with 'real' singing
I'll give you that. But they say that a professional working a chainsaw is also pretty skilful, and I don't listen to that for fun either.
