A
group of neuroscientists did battle in an epic Twitter Rap
Free-for-All. Check it!
[Scientific terms explained in brackets.]
DEAN BURNETT: My flow is so powerful it’s basically
exponential
Yours don't make the threshold for a single action
potential.
[An "action potential" is the signal sent by a
neuron.]
LOUIS: I speak hard truth my words are metallic,
Your rhymes
are brainless like an acephalic.
[Acephalic = without a head]
DB: If your rhymes taste metallic then I hate to confuse
ya
But that's a symptom of dysgeusia.
[Dysgeusia is a distortion of taste
perception.]
LOUIS: You think that scares me? Here's something to amaze
ya,
Your weak comprehension makes me diagnose aphasia.
[Aphasia describes a
variety of communication disorders.]
DB: You repeat and add nothing like a Celine Dion ballad.
Basically demonstrating classic word salad.
[See Sarah Palin.]
LOUIS: Celine's a low blow I expect no better,
From a
weak-ass rhymer who's cephalically wetter.
[“Water on the brain”
reference.]
DB: You want to step to me, like a fly in a spider's parlor?
I'll
make you so scared you'll rip out your amygdala.
[Removal of the amygdala
typically removes the fear response.]
AIDAN HORNER: You don't know left from right, I'm fricking
awesome
Your rhymes so disconnected, someone's cut your corpus callosum.
[The
connection between left and right brain hemispheres.]
SALLY PRICE: Ya hissing & dissing like a pair of morons;
It's clear the spirochaetes ate all your neurons.
[Spirochaetes are a bacteria
that can infect the brain.]
DB: Morons & neurons don't rhyme, I'm afraid.
If your
flow was a cat, it'd have to be spayed.
SALLY PRICE: You stutter like you got dysdiadokinesis;
I'm
puttin’ it down to your tertiary syphilis.
[Dysdiadokinesis - impaired ability
to perform alternating movements.]
DB: My words are quite clear as anyone can see.
That you
struggle to read them suggests maybe ADHD.
This is a shortened version of the battle; here’s the
whole thing!
