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

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Ever since conservstives/fascists started doing this kind of music he's "changed his mind". But we all know it's a case of
when black people do something: "I'm not sure about that"
when other do it: "How wonderful"
He's fine with it so long as the rappers are white.
Anything’s “good” if the maker agrees with your trash views.
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.
Homie, I'm epic, don't be a WAP
fucking D.A.R.E font lmfao
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 left has been ownt and DESTROYED
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!"
So frustrating! Kanye ~~may be~~ is a Nazi, but at least he has some great lines. Tom can't even muster up midness.
That's the dailywire employees earning their salary.
These astroturfed hog songs are so fucking awful. Bad writing, bad sound etc. I hate that they get so many views so quickly
Every chud listens to it on repeat for like two days to force everyone around them to also hear it.
Very few of them are even there to pretend it's real music. It's just about forcing others to suffer, just like all of their politics.
This reminds me of a family member forcing me to listen to one of these awful songs. It's excruciating
One thing I really love about Tom MacDonald is that all his lyrics appear to be written by random fifteen year old redditors.
Good on him for giving the youth a shot at the music industry.
Yeah, he's written a total of about 4 songs, and that's including the mostly-album-filler two of "You don't want the smoke" and "Started from the bottom".
So he genuinely has other people writing this shit for him? Hilarious.
I meant it in the sense of "Gamefreak just made a second Pokemon game with Legends: Arceus" in that there is very little distinction between songs except that they fall into around four categories. Any from within a category are interchangeable and may as well be AI-generated.
Though there is a long-standing rumor that his girlfriend, Nova, does a ton of ghostwriting for him. Some evidence for this: She has long been a much stronger and more original writer than him (he had a whole album of aping Wayne), and can even do basic things like freestyling that you can't even imagine Tom doing. She herself never touches the right-wing edgelord stuff in terms of raps she delivers, even though she directs all the videos. Tom himself is defensive toward these rumors and has mentioned them in a song. Also Mac Lethal claimed to have dirt toward this effect.
Some stuff if definitely Tom, like his obsession with coining cute little catchphrases and other weird motifs, but generally we are expected to believe that he reinvented his style in a way that is way more like Nova right around the time he broke right.
This hoodie make me hippier hoppier, right?

Is it just me or is this song just really ... racist? Like they wanna say the N word SO BADLY but somehow refrain from it for obvious reasons.
Tom McDonald started his career on wanting to say the n-word
I'll never listen to any song he releases, but Ben definitely gave him the pass
Damn this low-budget mid-90's PSA about doing drugs looks hella tight.
lol, Who the hell is the "homage to the D.A.R.E. logo" hoodie supposed to appeal to?
Millennials who listen to Benny Shaps
I'm gonna be controversial and say that Eminem taught people that anyone can rap, even people with no musical talent.
I need someone to post a piped link so I don't have to give this person any more views.
I crave the cringe.
https://piped.video/watch?v=5kGpohEpuTE (cw chud music)
it's currently ranked #2 on youtube music for the day.
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.
Hasn't Ben implied several times in the past that rap isn't music?
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.
Failed at art and got into fascism. Name a more classic combo.
yes, the song feature ben shapiro rapping
Catch a charge, extra large and extra hard, swipe your nose like a credit card
Ngl Ben would be killing it at gay bars if he wasn't straight. Middle-aged twinks are a hot commodity.
i support gay rights, but i don't support what you just said
There are rights, and then there are wrongs.
Middle-aged twinks are a hot commodity.
Whoever told you this is trying to entrap you as a house boy by trying to addict you to meth.
I would literally murder a 40-year-old twink, Shapiro has clearly made a pact with the devil
Verse 1: You need a gun! The only person who can protect you is you!
Chorus: We don't push guns! That's bad for some reason!
Verse 2: You defunded the police so now you have no protection! What guns?
How can a track with about ten actual lines be so thoroughly inchorent and contradictory?
You defunded the police
how did they convince themselves the police were defunded tf
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.
I know Benny boy gets a lot of grief here but Song Against Sex is fantastic even with his cameo in it.
Very Tall Bart do your thing!
