9 Songs That Perpetuate Crazy Conspiracy Theories
1. B.O.B. - "Flatline" & "Flatline II"
"I see only good things on the horizon // That's probably why the horizon is always rising // Indoctrinated in a cult called science // And graduated to a club full of liars // Heliocentrism, you were the sixth victim"
That's right. Rapper B.O.B. has written not one, but two songs based around his utterly insane belief that the world is flat. You probably heard about his Twitter rant that even contained photographic evidence that the world was most definitely flat.
That evidence, in case you were wondering, involved him pointing to a mountain in the background and basically saying "See! There's no curve in the picture! Buy my albums!"
Fearing that his message wasn't getting out into the (flat) world as much as it needed to, B.O.B. decided to write a couple of songs about it. And it's hard not to imagine him wearing a tin foil hat while writing the lyrics.
It's not just a flat earth conspiracy he's peddling in the "Flatline" saga either. In the first song alone, he mentions lizard people, clones, claims Neil Degrasse Tyson is on the government's payroll, and suggests NASA is completely full of sh*t. There's also some moderate antisemitism and a bit of Holocaust denial thrown in for good measure.
