Ben Shapiro is a Rapper? (I knew 2024 would be wild, but I didn't see this coming)

[easy rider]

I have never been a rap fan, in fact I've always considered it was missing a C, but dammit, this got me listening, at least to this song. Now I have heard of Tom MacDonald and how he is an independent rapper that doesn't want anything to do with the music industry, doesn't want to be controlled, so good on him, but I've never listened to his music, until now.

On Tuesday, I believe it was, I was hearing a buzz on the internet about a song that's gone viral. When I heard that it featured Ben Shapiro and it was rap, I said "HUH?!?", and had to check this out.

Dammit Ben! Dammit Tom! Not only did they get me liking a rap song, I love it! This video has surely exploded some leftist's heads:

Wife and I saw it on a conservative news channel a couple of days ago, but did not see that Ben Shapiro was in it.
We really liked the line about "if you want my pronouns I am the man who don't respect you". Epic!

It hit #1 on the iTunes chart a few days ago.

I'd vote for Shapiro over any other current candidate for president!

Youtube at one point was intentionally not letting it hit #1 on their charts, and it was so easy to see them doing it as the view counter was right next to all the music videos, showing it was well above the others.

Google being Google.
They are SO OVER that "Don't Be Evil" thing.

Food for thought. Jordan Peterson put this out earlier today. WARNING: it is quite long, and given in a psychologist's point of view.

I didn't quite agree with his analysis of the term "Gender" since for centuries it was a term to differentiate male and female, and was twisted in the ideological feminism of, I believe, the 1970's. When I was growing up I would probably laugh a bit when someone would use the term "Sex" as differentiating between boy and girl, thinking of sex in the verbal sense rather than the noun. But "Gender" didn't arouse that proclivity, and I knew what one was talking about.

Anyway, I found this very insightful:

Chris Webby has a better pronoun line in the song “Theme Song”.

Let ‘em know my gender by shoving my balls in they mouth”

I approve of the message but watching Ben Shapiro "rap"...

Want to see Google's bias in action?

Go to google images and search for "white loving married couple" the do "black loving married couple" and compare the results.

I loathe rap and all things hip hop. I just don't like the "music", but I dropped $1.29 or whatever it was on iTunes to help the song get to #1. A buck is a pretty low bar for a lark.

You have to understand Ben's intent. He's not looking for a new career, it's an epic troll. Even in Ben's lyrics he said he's doing this for fun. It's made leftist heads explode and exposed the music industry as frauds.

I found it to be a religious experience.

Seriously.

Part of the real fun with this has been when they started doing reaction videos and showing the comments. Best I have seen so far:

Ben: How do I rap?

Tom: Just talk slower.

I liked the song. Shapiro is no rapper, however. I like Shapiro for his intellect. This, not so much.

As others said, he is not pretending to be a rapper. But what a great thumb in the eye to the cancel culture mob!
And he had fun doing it.

I really like Ben, but anything related to the 'hippity-hopity' just isn't for me.

I appreciate the kind words but I haven't rapped on stage for ~30 years.

Oh. Wait. You meant that other Ben?

Never mind.

 

[Mowingmaniac 24/7]

Ben,

Wait, but you still 'rap' off stage?

Please, tell me it ain't so?

No, no, noooooooooo!
