It is the most smallest things that tend to make the biggest impact on human life and such is the case for the Rubik’s Cube.

In 1974, a Hungarian professor of architecture by the name of ErnÅ‘ Rubik twisted his mind enough to create a puzzle that took him weeks to solve his own self. According to Washington Post, Rubik said “It was wonderful to see how, after only a few turns, the colors became mixed, apparently in random fashion. It was tremendously satisfying to watch this color parade.”

Today, the Internet has been buzzing with the renewed interest in the squared delight as it celebrates its 40th birthday. Google even went as far as to allow users to test their brain power with a virtual block free of charge.

With an invention as influential and witty as the Rubik’s Cube, it was only fitting that its name would come up in rap songs from MCs who prided themselves as being as cerebral as the Hungarian inventor.

Continue on through the list to see Hip-Hop Wired’s gift to the original color twister to hear eight songs that insert the Cube into its similes and metaphors. Rap lyrics can sometimes be puzzles within the lines that they are written in.
