Rap to the Future
I have no doubt that many of you have heard Futuristic Sex Robotz’ Back to the Future rap, and thus will mock and belittle me for only having heard it for the first a few days ago. But I’m under the impression that this video, which pairs the song with footage from the movie, is reasonably new to the infonetment superwebway and thus a pleasant video to close the day, and an excellent way to introduce the song to other lovers of fine nerdy rap that also might not have heard it. And if I’m wrong, fuck all y’all.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
