Published on: 19th May, 2020

What's it like to win the internet?

We find out this week as we welcome Wes Tank, who recently won the internet with his quarantine videos of him rapping Dr. Seuss rhymes over Dr. Dre beats.

Wes talks to Mac and David about discovering the magical combination of Dr. Seuss and Dr. Dre, becoming the Tiger King of the Dr. Seuss rapping community, how he transitioned from basketball to rapping to filmmaking, finding inspiration while picking up garbage in Washington Park, and how he sees the unique assets and possibilities of Milwaukee as a creative city.

Audio transitions: "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish," Wes Tank/Dr. Seuss/Dr. Dre

The reaction video where the daughter of another Dr. Seuss/Dr. Dre rapper gives Wes a higher rating.
