Snoop Dogg and Buzz Aldrin: Intergalactic Bros

  Quote

It was probably one small step for Snoop Dogg but it was one giant leap for Buzz Aldrin when he teamed up with the hip-hop artist to record a rap single.

 

The white-haired astronaut, 79, has accomplished what he claims is his second great mission — becoming a rap star — with a track commemorating the 40th anniversary of the first lunar landing next month.

 

The single, Rocket Experience, and accompanying video feature the second man on the Moon nodding his head and gyrating in time to the beat as he leans into a microphone to deliver lines such as: “I’m the spaceman, I’m the rocket man, it’s time to venture far, let’s take a trip to Mars, our destiny is to the stars.”

my god this is fucking genius

I read the solomon interview with aldrin in the NYT magazine a couple weeks ago and when asked what music do you listen to? the response was "I just recorded a hip hop single with snoop." I lol'ed so loud in starbucks (sue me) I got about 5 dirty looks.

That was actually ridiculously catchy, and I want to go to Mars now, so I think it worked.

Why can't he have quiet dignity and be a little bit insane like all the other astronauts?

UGH I NEED TO REMIX THIS SO BAD

WHERE IS THE ACAPELLA FOR GODS SAKE

i thought aldrin's delivery was terrible

it's amusing as a novelty but i was hoping aldrin could add something more than that -- disappointed

in my experience, buzz aldrin is an insufferable cock and i'll probably try to kick him out of my store if i ever see him again.

he seems to get off on being rude to little kids and making them cry. i'm going to provoke him with some fake moon landing conspiracy bullshit and then mace him when he tries to step.

FOR THE KIDS!

Buzz is a bigger and stronger bro than any of you could ever hope to be... MS-DOS player you better hope Buzz never deigns to step to your shit or player your life is over...

I've heard the new SNL was good but never imagined they shifted styles like this.
