TuSpock: Half Vulcan, Half Gangsta Rapper
I hope this doesn’t come off as a blanket approval of Jimmy Fallon, but I kind of had to share this video of “Highly Illogical,” the music video from half-Vulcan, half-gangsta rapper TuSpock. I could pretend it’s because Fallon actually makes a good looking Spock, or that Tariq from The Roots plays Captain Kirk, or because of all the sexy ladies dancing on the Enterprise bridge. But really, it’s because I’m a sucker for nerdy rap, especially lines like “I gotta head fulla logic and nose fulla coke.” Don’t judge me.
