Here we are on the internet in 2016, and Atlanta’s B.o.B. (the “Airplanes” guy) has released a diss track aimed toward acclaimed scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Dirty Grandpa’ Is Gross, And Not In A Fun Or Entertaining Way

Film: Dirty Grandpa Directed by: Dan Mazer Starring: Zac Efron, Robert De Niro, Aubrey Plaza Vulgar comedies are a dime a dozen today. Some go too far, some not far enough.
