Drop the Mic, President Obama

What if the Clean Power Plan was a diss track?

August 07, 2015

President Obama’s announcement of the Clean Power Plan on Monday immediately (and predictably) blew up into a debate between those of us who actually like breathing clean air and having a future on earth versus fossil-fuel interests. Meanwhile, in pop culture news this week, the diss track–filled beef between Drake and Meek Mill raged on (if you haven’t been following the drama, here’s a primer). That media juxtaposition got YouTuber Science With Tom, who makes the weekly series “Science x Rhymes,” thinking: What if the Clean Power Plan announcement was a diss track? And I’m so glad he followed through.

Obama OUT.
