The Thing with 2 Heads and the birth of Hip Hop

#TIL I learned that a song recorded for the soundtrack of this bizarro movie had one of the main breaks used by DJ Kool Herc for his ‘Merry Go Round’ technique. So this crazy-ass #movie played a part in the birth of #HipHop. Have you seen this, or even heard ...

Have you seen this, or even heard of it? I saw it once when I was like 7. The premise: “Doctors are forced to transplant the head of a dying, racist surgeon onto the body of a black death row inmate.”

Someone prolly got really drunk and came up with the #WhatIf scenario: What if a racist ass MF got stuck with the body of a black man? And to make it more interesting, he can’t hide inside the body AND the black dude is there too.

The social commentary went over my head. I’d watch anything that was remotely #ScienceFiction or just plain weird – and there’s not much weirder than this. It looked soooo fake. And since I LOVED #70s #Bollywood, I was fine with #movies that had logical & other inconsistencies.

If you want to know more about the song, check out out the #video where I learned this #FunFact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBYiWbfv_Dw

Hi, I’m Arp! I got diagnosed with ADHD at 49, and now I'm trying to figure out what's me, what's masking, and just about everything else. I make comics (when imposter syndrome isn't striking) and write about life as a creative Indian-American. I’m self-taught, self-employed, and self-flagellating.
