Isn't Ben Shapiro one of those "rap music isn't real music" type of guys? I get that he's basically a walking example of the Sartre Antisemite™ quote, but still
He thinks it's talentless in comparison to classical music, but his main talking point with lots of it was about the 'values' - twerking, violence, etc etc the usual conservative hypocrises.
This sort of 'rap' is about personal responsibility and stuff so it's all good.
All part of their avoidance of material analysis so they can say rap music and single mothers make black people poor.
I just listened to it. Save yourself. I’ve been so thoroughly owned with facts and knowledge - almost all of which did not care for my feelings - that there’s no coming back. It’s over for me.
The comment section on Tom Macdonald videos I've seen are all like "Im a 78 year old from indiana and normally I call the police when I hear the neighbors playing rap but oh my heavens this new music is simply superior to the mumble nonsense! He says it like is and isnt afriad of the woke left!"
There were like 12 half-assed "Let's Go Brandon" songs charting on iTunes (lmao) when the phrase/meme got popular. I'm sure there's like 0 effort out into this stuff and the hogs just joylessly lap it up/compulsively pay money for it.
For a song that seems to be about how pronouns don't matter and they don't care if this hurts your feelings, this McDonalds fella is rather insistent that he be called a man.
There's also a sort of… I don't want to say irony, as that implies wit… in dressing/'rapping' as if you're in g-unit in order to tell people as hard as you can that you're not into any of the illicit activities that rappers brag about being involved in. If that's you're thing, then why is your costume department putting you in the Wu-Tang gear? You can't appeal to the same audience with your mise-en-scène and then denounce it all without at least a semblance of using your 'street cred' to get the youth out of crime and into school.
Wtf did I just let hit my retinas and ear drums. It's an assault on the senses. An aural/visual dollop of strawberry and fish sauce ice cream in a spaghetti bolognese but the bolognese is made out of dog shit and the ice cream is frozen cat piss.
To be honest, it's quite impressive that a song using a total vocabulary of about 22 words can contain so many contradictions.
Ben Shapiro is a failed screenwriter. The truth is he was always jealous of the people who "made it" in entertainment so of course he would rap given the opportunity, despite his past statements on it.
Not just any failed screenwriter, his parents worked in Hollywood, so he couldn't even make it through nepotism. Although I've seen a YouTube video making fun of his novel, and the writing is so awful I can understand why nobody would hire him even as a nepo baby.
Oh lord. That was more than enough cringe. The hook of "I don't care if I offend you" really hammers home that they aren't offensive, just sheisty dramatic coat riders.
They're so offended that their opinions are largely considered shit that they wrote a song solidifying that they are "men," and disagreement with them makes them upset enough to attempt to write thinly veiled propaganda music in warehouse basements to broadcast to everyone as if they are somehow being silenced.
I'm not gonna pretend that I'm an expert on rap or anything but, like, this is shit.
Like, Ben Shapiro's verse has the stilted cadence of one of those YouTube videos where people splice together PragerU clips.
Lyrically the whole thing is dogshit, but it's especially glaring with Ben who has taken the same approach to rap that a child takes to poetry, creating rhyming couplets with no sense of flow or direction seemingly because that's how he thinks it's supposed to be.
I've heard better bars spat improvised at a wassailing, even after the cider has made a few cycles of the wassailers.
Two groups of people believe that cops were defunded. The first are your Bens Shapiro, whose jobs are to peddle right-wing conspiracy theories. The second are people stupid enough to listen to the Shapiros which I think explains it.
Remember when you used to see American flags in America? Now you don't. There aren't any. Just rainbows. Not a single American flag in all of America. Sad.
Sure, rightoids will claim that all their opinions are facts 24/7. But I'm an "elitist" for actually having all my opinions be facts, rather than caving to popular opinion like every other human on earth.
This filth is going to win awards because it panders to the lowest common denominator's inherit biases, isn't it?
