Making of Buzz Aldrin’s Rocket Experience w/ Snoop Dogg and Talib Kweli from Buzz Aldrin

I actually teared up at the end.

   f-ing ineffable

   This is funnier than I could have ever expected

   …I can’t believe Buzz would lower himself like this.

   @ #2&3 really? you think this was bad or shameful? i thought it was a lot of talented people, clearly having a good time. moreover, to have directly addressed the gil scott-heron track was inspired. quincy jones was great, too. sure buzz aldrin came off looking a tad dorky, but he was in on the joke. there was no shame here, and more importantly no steam punk, nor ukulele.

   Neil would never do this.

   It is wonderful to think that Buzz Aldrin is one of the few people in the world who can say with absolute conviction that he has been higher than Snoop Dogg ever has been or will be.

   Buzz is da man! Pure Nerdcore! He’s up there with MC Hawking and MC Lars!!

   Snoop is cool, he once came out as a big fan of Anne McCaffery and her Dragonrider books on Much Music. I guess like Da Prez, Snoop is a Nerd too! Wish he would do some Nerdcore!

   If only Buzz’s appearance on Ali G was also intentionally hilarious.

    I love Buzz! ‘Member when he clocked the “you were never on the moon” lunatic smack in the face? He IS gangsta.
