A healthy amount of skepticism isn’t a bad thing, right?
On the latest episode of Complex’s GOAT Talk, rappers Paul Wall and That Mexican OT sat down to give their take on all things goated—including some of the conspiracy theories that definitely have kept them up at night.
“I’ve heard some conspiracy theories and I was like ‘Bitch, ain’t no way you was not high when you thought of this,’” says That Mexican OT at the 8:14 mark.
“The GOAT conspiracy theory of all time to me is dinosaurs,” says Wall. “Ever since I was in kindergarten or whenever they tell you dinosaurs exist, I always thought, 'Man, it’s some bullshit they making up.'”
Wall added, “It was never 'cause I never seen them, 'Oh I never seen them in real life,’ or none of that kinda stuff. It just, I always, something inside me just always led me to believe that this is some bullshit.”
Switching gears, 25-year-old Mexican OT asked Wall, 43, how he feels about the 1969 moon landing. “I’m torn," he answered. "I don’t know why they would only go once and that’s it, never go back again, and be like ‘Fuck it, we ain't never going back.’”
“How is he the first person to land on the moon when the fucking camera guy had to have been there first?” asks Mexican OT, referencing the late Neil Armstrong.
It should be noted that Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin was the second man on the moon, as noted by a Reuters fact check, and is the person who appears in the iconic photos of the moon landing that are often believed to be of Armstrong. In fact, Forbes reports that there’s only one full-body photo of Armstrong on the moon from the entire trip.
Paul Wall and That Mexican OT have collaborated on music a number of times, with their most recent track “Chicken Strips & Ass” appearing on OT’s sophomore album, Texas Technician. With a title like that, it almost makes you wish the men had discussed the timeless debate: what came first, the chicken or the egg?
