You can muscle memorize rubiks cubes. I haven't solved one in two years but i guarantee if someone handed me one I could solve it based solely on muscle memorized algorithms. I'm a musician so I could most likely tie that with a rap like that. It would take some practice but I could get it eventually. Doing it in front of a whole crowd so casually though is what makes Bo so much better.
If he was solving the rubix cube for the first time was rapping, I would be more impressed. It's still cool, almost like him trying to gloat... well it is him gloating really. He does a good job though... I think his body language always makes me think he's a very nervous person, but he is confident in speaking his views. I think he does well, very ceative.
He must be really good at math to not only be able to solve that Rubix Cube in that short of time, but to be able to do it while having to rap and keep the beat of the rap in his head because there was no music playing. I have gained respect for you on a whole new level, Bo. A whole new level.
@archiefan118 It takes absolutely no math to solve a rubiks cube for one.. and it take him like 2 + minutes, someone who has never touched one could do that. The only thing I am impressed by is the fact that he can keep the beat steady at the same time.
@DontTouchMyCubes The only thing that impresses me is your inability to give one credit at something he clearly deserves it for. Make a video of YOU doing Bo Burnhams rap (that you wont even have to write) and doing a rubix cube. After that, talk all the shit you want. Until then, STFU HATIN ASS NIGGA
@aMacFanatic I'm not hatin, Bo is amazing and rapping while doing a rubik's cube is amazing...but he did have a couple points. 1) a Rubik's cube requires no math...at all...whatsoever...and 2) doing it in 2 minutes isn't that impressive either. Doing it while rapping is cool but combining 2 rather simple things (rapping and solving the Rubik's cube) isn't too difficult with a little practice. So yeah, just givin @DontTouchMyCubes some credit
@archiefan118 you dont need to be good at math to beat a rubiks cube. Its just a formula you remember. Its actually extremely easy to beat one and I can easily do it in under 2 minutes without even trying.
@archiefan118 You are really fucking dumb. The Rubix Cube has NOTHING to do with math. It is solved with a pattern also known as an algorithm. Math required = ZERO
@TheHelifreak4 Hey dumbfuck, an algorithm is NOT always math. In THIS case, the algorithm is a stepbystep procedure for solving the cube by TWISTING certain sides in certain orders. It is pure MEMORY.
@byracki well, if u remember from grade school, patters ARE math. yes it may hav a more fancy name, but its math all the same. so before u call me dumb, check ur facts.
@byracki wow, its amazing how ignorant people have become these days. art uses alot of math including measurements and patterns. y dont u ask ur art teacher. they will tell u the exact same thing i just did. now stop hating cuz im not going to have a battle of wits with someone who is unarmed
It takes a level of confidence I will never know for a lanky white kid to rap in front of a crowd that large, while simultaneously solving a rubiks cube, I could do neither without legitimately shitting myself.
@piemon22222 see theres the problem, you probably good with actually doing it, i love being on stage and making a fool of myself, but i suck at singing and playing guitar
@Dymetex massively resent that, i do get the Oedipus references. And im a teenager. Just because you were a 'dumb fuck teenager' doesnt mean everyone else is.
@JulietBader she said, "i'll mix you up." not bad heckling, too bad comedians have an arsenal armed with THOUSANDS of snappy comebacks for hecklers. sweetie, leave heckling to the professionals.
@jointdynamite yes or else he wouldnt have went liiiike.....a.....tampon....theiiiive..i.....haaad.....to..pulll...some fuuckinstrings..then throw it into the air
