yes, the song feature ben shapiro rapping
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
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"
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.
He also attacked it on flimsy theoretical grounds for "not having" melody and harmony despite, you know, the vast majority of rap having those in the instrumental
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.
For the love of god, please listen to Pastaguini. I ignored the warning. Now I'm broken. Shit. Save yourselves.
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 beis a Nazi, but at least he has some great lines. Tom can't even muster up midness.
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
Remembering the time a libertarian roommate put on Whiteboy and was like "wow he's spitting bars"
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.
Kid Rock - 'We The People' - uses the Let's Go Brandon chant in one of the choruses, and the whole song is so hilariously bad that last year it became one of my most played songs. Always cheered me up.
their core marketing strategy is using bots to get in the rankings, same genre of tricks used to rig bestseller lists
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.
Thanks I guess, but I have no idea what any of this means lmao
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

Kkkringe
Damn this low-budget mid-90's PSA about doing drugs looks hella tight.
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.
I'm gonna be controversial and say that Eminem taught people that anyone can rap, even people with no musical talent.
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.
lol, Who the hell is the "homage to the D.A.R.E. logo" hoodie supposed to appeal to?
I need someone to post a piped link so I don't have to give this person any more views.
I crave the cringe.

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.
I don't even believe that Ben actually delivered those bars. I think he spoke them slowly and not necessarily on beat and then they were edited together. I feel like you can hear the time stretch and edits.
I’m guessing his part basically has to be a kind of patter song, right?
Patter songs usually have pitch. Shabibo is just talking with barely a hint of rhythmic articulation.
quickly googles patter song
The patter song is characterised by a moderately fast to very fast tempo with a rapid succession of rhythmic patterns in which each syllable of text corresponds to one note. It is a staple of comic opera, especially Gilbert and Sullivan, but it has also been used in musical theatre and elsewhere.
Sounds like a dorky enough thing for Ben Shapiro to do, but I don't think that's the case with his verse. He doesn't seem to be singing that fast in comparison to his speaking voice and his bars don't even seem to be on beat.
I thought the same thing, it's like Ben didn't show up to the studio or the video shoot. The way he barely moves, they might as well have photoshopped his face onto a body double - the way he raps, it's like a youtube poop.
it's currently ranked #2 on youtube music for the day.
That basically translates to it trending on YouTube. I hate this timeline
"Stomp clap hey" has faded, and coming to replace it is the "I'm Not Racist" genre

tbf a lot of people are clicking it to laugh at it
yes, the song feature ben shapiro rapping
