Buzz Aldrin on moon

“I have two passions: space exploration and hip hop“, says Buzz Aldrin, the pilot of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module on NASA’s first mission to the moon and on July 20, 1969, became the second human to stand on the moon (Neil Armstrong was the first).

This video shows Buzz recording “Rocket Experience” with Snoop Dogg and Talib Kweli. Quincy Jones and Soulja Boy also appear.

The best part is Snoop Dogg’s impromptu rap followed by his coaching of Buzz, who is now 70 years old. Nice, and all in good fun.
