Alpine Kat's Large Hadron Collider Rap
Few things go as well together as hip-hop and science. The lexicon of bleeding-edge theoretical physics is practically overflowing with rhyme-ready particles (real, virtual, anti-, and otherwise), and from Dr. Octagon to The Sounds of Science, the rap canon abounds with more-or-less learned verses.
So if you're like me and have trouble finding enough to time in your life to nurture your twin loves of hip-hop and quantum cosmology, let Alpine Kat grab the mic for a minute. Science writer by day and science rapper in her spare time, Alpine Kat has recorded a number of "science raps," the most notorious of which serves as a primer on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), an immense subterranean machine on the Franco-Swiss border designed to slam protons together at near-light speeds in order to see what happens.
If you like what you hear, check out more of Alpine Kat's science raps.
Either way, let us know about the best science-based hip-hop we might have missed...

Oops, you said "best science-based hip hop", which is pretty much the exact opposite of what I just posted...
still, any excuse to gawk at it again!

Considering the new R4i SDHC, it is noted that the its loading time is pretty quick and is compatible with both DS lite and DS. Similarly down the line is new DSTT. This is probably less efficient than the R4i SDHC version. Also the latest kernel that updated to V1.12b, the recent R4i SDHC supports the new DS console-Nintendo DS LL.

Rap might also provide a natural medium for discussing science.They've got Tupac in suspended animation.I really am looking forward to hearing about results of their experiments.And I hope that they are nice enough to not create a black hole that swallows all of us.

The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not .

Sadly, I'm such a geek that I was trying to pick out mistakes in the physics explanations. This is actually pretty tight, I'm embarrassed to say. I plan on playing this if I ever have another house party. Thanks for the post!

Deltron 3030 is an obvious example, and Del has plenty of other great nerd raps.
