Ben Shapiro citing his music-theory-trained father’s opinion as proof of rap being bad is hilarious. I’ve taken theory classes and it was made very clear that music theory is not a science
It's funny how this nigga wanna call out the left for using fallacies but yet he LITERALLY just used one here. Him using his "music theorist father" as proof of rap not being music is an appeal to authority fallacy
Music theory is a science (and yeah I've taken lessons for years) . Where the fault in the statement is, is in relation to rap. There is ALWAYS melody, therefore there is music. In every single sound ever there is music. Music is everything. Don't let stupid people like ben influence your thoughts on various sciences, aka music theory. It is a science, but the guy talking about it just didn't know what he was talking about, lol.

I saw a comment thread under one of Walsh's videos where someone said 'not all rap is bad. Has anyone listened to Tom MacDonald?'. Kinda sums it up really.
Correct, and it harkens back to the history of all these genres. Rock, Blues, Jazz, House, Funk all these genres were originally hated or dubbed "negro devil music", until white artist started engaging in them, then suddenly they became tolerable. These people don't hate the music, if they did they wouldn't copy it so much. They hate that it's a black person singing it. We know they love the music, why else would they continuously try to whitewash the genres and erase blacks from influencing them
Mosf of 'em haven't heard past Eminem maybe Pac or Biggie. Wu Tang if they're adventorous. Sean Price, Ghostface, Raekwon, Mobb Deep etc. DOOM needs a mentoin too. They haven't heard of 'em so it isn't surprising his fan base would listen to Tom McDonald, a Canadian who parades himself as an All American patriot.

@@thekid1568Bro after a certain age rap gets corny and played out. And you start to notice the negative impact it has on society. Yeah if you’re from a nice suburban family it may not influence you but kids in the inner city will follow whatever trend these rappers push out. NYC had a massive increase of homicide because of this drill BS. Just look at these inner city kids they dress however rappers dress. So it’s not far fetched to believe it has a negative impact on people. Btw nearly everyone in the Daily Wire is in their 30s so they probably grew up listening to rap and HipHop. I mean Candace and Knowles are 2 yrs or 3 yrs older than these rappers like Gunna and Lil Baby.
@@csar07. I love this type of music, trap is probably what I listen to the most cuz that’s what I put on when I just want to vibe. I just don’t like all these people who say stuff like “rap isn’t music” or “rap has no meaning” and then ONLY use trap/mumble rap as their examples for why.
@@n_logan I have no hate for someone who is just enjoying music. there are loads of good songs that have a trap beat but most of these super maistream rappers do it for the money, theres no meaning behind their lyrics, it ends up sounding the same. Its the formula for hit songs. Its not the genre thats bad, its the mainstream media thats killing good rap imo.
@@csar07. y’know what, you both have a point. I’m not a fan of rap myself, but recently, I’ve started looking into things a bit, looking into the genre. Huh, maybe I should give rap music the same treatment I gave metal. I never really understood metal, I was always more into hard rock and such, and I grew up in a more religious household. One day, I decided to give metal a shot and see if all my preconceived notions about it were correct. It’s now the primary genre of music I listen to these days. Maybe I should give Tupac a listen

Matt Walsh talking about how unsafe it is to ride on a car window holding a wad of cash saying “is he going to the bank to deposit that wad of cash?” is so fucking funny. Like bro started critiquing his investment strategy 😭
Matt Walsh reacting to Voodoo Child: “Wait I’m just gonna stop it here. Are you really chopping a mountain down with the edge of your hand? Think about this. Logically, is that really possible?”
It's crazy how Matt Walsh is one of the most unfunniest guys to be alive, but his comments jerk him saying shit like you're as funny as a comedian, that ended up doing politics
It's even more crazy how he trashes rap music which is nothing to do with politics. The songs he reacted to aren't even pushing a serious message they're just commercial hits but he tries to take them as serious as possible. It shows that he's not actually bothered about policy or tax reform, but would rather spend his time mocking music made by black people. L mans.

Yeah for sure, I remember conservatives also recently upset that Aretha Franklin was getting a road named after her, and upset that Marvin Gaye had the top album in a Rolling Stone best ever list. It’s not the rapping specifically, but something else these artists have in common that upsets these white supremacist ghouls
True af. They hated jazz before it got gentrified (caucasianized). Then they hated rock and roll till The Beatles. And they'll keep hating everything else while pretending it's all based on "objective facts and logic and music/cultural theory"

Conservative pundits need to stop with the low hanging fruit and listen to Griselda. Westside Gunn has an appreciation for European art and aesthetics. Boldy talks about the successes and challenges of being a capitalist operating in a highly regulated market. Conway is just dope in a Scarface sort of way, which boomers love. Honestly, it might convert them to liking rap.
These republican talk show host types aren't reviewing hip-hop songs to find appreciation in a music genre they don't know much about. It's all about pandering to their racist audience. The whole message of these types of videos is "look at those silly black people with their terrible music. Obviously they can't make music as good as white people can". An artist with deeper meanings than these radio hits wouldn't hit the narrative that these guys are trying to sell.
Not to mention guys like Rap Feirrera , Busdriver, Greydon Square, Akala etc. are actual rappers with academic backgrounds who deal with very deep concepts in philosophy, physics, sociology etc. I think Rap Feirrera was even working on his PhD in Philosophy. Lupe is even a professor at MIT now.
Rap is a garbage music form. The fact that you have to defend it so heavily is proof of this. The idea that music theory can be dismissed as it somehow “does” apply to rap or it’s somehow not an actual science is a joke. It’s not considered a science because it is the unpopular thing to do.

It’s just that you like garbage music the objectively goes against the very foundations of what music truly is. It’s like art and how people call and think literal garbage on the ground in a art museum makes it a thought provoking masterpiece... Honestly you people are jokes... when garbage like WAP is being made. You have to ask yourself if there is some kind of connection between that and the argument that music is getting more and more terrible. No rap has no single melody or cord of it’s own. It’s majorly stale repetitive beats that you people bring up as the future of music. There’s a reason people who like rap so often compare it to storytelling then other music. Because it isn’t music. Most rap nowadays can’t even remain in a realm of their own success that being the merging of poetry with song. Figures like Tom McDonald who is a rapper in fact say it best. The majority of rappers today aren’t making music. Their making sound... and the idea that sound in general is music is as laughable as saying creating something makes it art. It isn’t. Pop culture doesn’t exist because it’s genuinely popular. Especially nowadays. It exists because it’s a form of manipulation and product placement. Rap is big with shows, adverts, company’s, sports and more. No rap isn’t good and no you idiots thinking otherwise doesn’t magically make it great. You people like the equivalent of ads on your video instead of something with actual substance. Music has been on a trend of dying alongside raps popularity. Honestly I don’t need to say anything else but that.
I love rap so much, it is so poetic, so full of creative potential and though there are few rappers today who are subpar it's still a medium I would hate to see fade into obscurity.
Rap has been around since the 70s and has only gotten bigger every decade and is now at its zenith. I hope it never goes away, to me it’s the most versatile genre
@@marcobazan4187 Hip Hop Evolution on Netflix is amazing, documenting the pioneers, and the standouts. I agree about it being versatile, there really is an artist for everybody. Everybody except Matt Walsh, that is.
fantastic video. cant stand these mfs disrespecting what is, in my opinion, the best genre of music, ever. rap, through sampling, is quite literally limitless, and can encompass pretty much every genre. you can literally sample beethoven’s second symphony and make a crazy rap song out of it, and that song could sound a million different ways depending on how the producer uses the sample! it’s almost like these people have an issue with the people creating the music succeeding rather than any actual criticism against the music itself…
Every genre is limited in its own way, hip hop isn't particularly special in that regard. Sampling isn't unique to hip hop, it precedes it. It's one of my favorite genres, but no there's need to gas it up and sell other genres short. There's plenty of things hip hop can't do that other genres can, and the opposite is also true.
@shadez yeah I agree no need to put it over other music styles, especially since sampling far predates hip-hop and is in itself, reliant on every other form of music. Additionally, you can pull from all sorts of places artistically as someone not based in hip-hop and be just as, if not more diverse and creative.

People hate on rap way too much. They love talking about it but ignoring music like; “Death/Black metal” which is way worse. That music talks about r4pe, sacrificing, and brutal murder/torture like it’s just another Tuesday. We already expect the drug, gun, related lyrics, but you can’t hate it because of that when death metal exists.
Pretty sure Matt would be consistent in hating death metal just as much, if not more than rap. Death metal isn’t exactly mainstream and played everywhere on the radio though lol, if it was, I’m sure Matt would be upset about it also.
"people hate on the genre i like too much!" *proceeds to hate on another genre* wasn't even a very good point either, the subject matter of death metal songs usually isn't real life, unlike rap. if a rapper says they shot someone then they probably shot someone, but death metal bands don't actually sacrifice people to satan, even though they make songs about it
@@thiccochet I don’t hate death metal, I’m just talking about the hypocrisy, it’s almost every genre of music is promoting degeneracy, if it’s not pop stars singing about being rude and boss, rap about sex and drugs, metal about pure satanic behavior. It’s just that too many people jump on it way too quick. And don’t diss the genre itself, you gotta criticize the artists, because that isn’t what rap is about, it’s just that, that is what the popular artists of the genre constantly talk about.
what if, hypothetically, lets say, matt walsh was secretly opium. Lets say, now with the knowledge we have, that he secretly admires carti and ken carson.
People really be like “rap is dangerous and promotes violence” then go home and listen to a song written in 1970 about a man who beats his wife.

I didn't like rap/hip hop until I was about 15 or 16 and was able yo sort through the chaos. I liked classics, but i didn't know anyone by name besides Eminem, Dr Dre and Jay-Z. But I had been listening to Pac, Biggie, Mary J Blige, Ice Cube and a few others. I just didn't know them by name until I was 15 and rediscovering old songs. Now Hip Hop is easily one of my favorite genres. And with the constant progressiveness of mixing genres, my favorite hybrid thus far probably has to be Metal Rap. Scratches my itch for doomy riffs and hypnotic word play.
Why can't these people just say that rap just isn't their preference and not to make it this whole deal of "RAP IS NOT REAL MUSIC AND THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO MUSIC"
An annoyance I have with Matt's "crying out to god in my $50k pants" thing is the fact that Polo G is pleading for better days WITH all these possessions is not hypocrisy, it's that he has these things but he knows they aren't fulfilling. He has clothes, women, cars, stacks of money, but there's still something empty inside from the conditions he's in and his own feelings that he couldn't fill with all of the possessions in the world.
In 2005 a conservative journalist named Bernard Goldberg wrote a book titled "100 People (Who I Think) Are Screwing Up America". In it he talks about how much rap music is "ruining America" and lists Ludacris and Eminem as 2 of the 100 people.

Well, there IS a reason why any rapper that comes out as a Republican/Conservative faces an insane amount of backlash. The Republicans hate this kind of music...matter of fact, the reason most creatives in general are liberals, not just rappers, is because conservative people usually only want to keep things as they are and not take any risk. Being a musician, actor, film maker, painter, graphic designer etc is too big of a risk to them as it doesn't guarantee stability financially or work wise as opposed to a 'regular job'. Because of the often unconventional, some times hedonistic lifestyles of many creatives, they generally advocate for change, while just preserving things the way they are doesn't really advocate any form of change. Sure, there are plenty of known creatives who became republicans later in life (Tom Selleck, James Woods, Kanye West, Gene Simmons, Morissey, Johnny Rotten to name a few), but if these guys had been BROUGHT UP as conservatives, would they have made the kind of music they made or became known for? I doubt it.
this. likewise that's often why people just want these "artists" to shut up when it comes to politics because most of the time they don't even know what they're talking about.
actually, you wanna know something the left is ruining the arts, the ruining comedy because they’re offended by everything they are ruining movies because they have to re-swap and have feminism and everything they touch. We also have things like DEI and esg, that’s further destroying film. Also, there’s a lot of conservatives that are creative and can create art. The problem is is the left blacklist them.
@@randombro89You claim the left are destroying comedy because they get easily triggered. Yet the right does the same. The right are triggered by anything that doesn’t comply with their views. The right doesn’t have good comedy either. As most right winged comedy that I have seen are often about pronouns, vaccines, and drag shows being forced down their throats( it isn’t by the way). Your second argument states feminism is bad for movie and other ways of artistic expression. I’d argue that feminism can benefit art. Feminism is the belief that both men and women are equal. This can make both the male or female characters in movies, games, music or other ways of art feel and represent both men, women, and non-binary people, etc . Characters such as Princes Peach don’t feel like a character due to the fact the games treat her as a object or prize for Mario. The Super Mario Bros Movie fixes this problem making Princes Peach apart of the plot as much of a character as Mario, Donkey Kong, or Bowser. I hope my comment doesn’t make you uncomfortable or come off as harmful. Although we have different opinions I wish you the best.
Music is art, and art is expression, and even if you don't like or understand a certain style of music, that doesn't make the music bad or the people wrong for enjoying it. Just because I don't particularly like Opera music doesn't mean you can't think it sounds like the best thing ever. Yeah, these dudes have their undies in a twist.
Anybody hating on rap has never tried it, I’ve been rapping for almost a decade and only in the past few years can I confidently say I’m good, no matter the medium, being able to express yourself creatively takes dedication and effort
A rapper can never spend enough money in their lifetime to amount to the greed exercised by large corporations or even libertarians. Some of these Republican influencers are making rapper money, so the "I can't relate to this" is kinda funny. They aren't buying chains but they're buying dumb shit like trash media outlets and social media ads for some pointless cause, just to sell even more pointless shit to their fans.
It's not that we aren't responding because we don't know what a woman is, it's because a weird guy is walking up to us asking a question that we have no interest in talking about.
Pease don't get fooled. This whole video is just him hating on a man for not liking what he likes., He also said he would come in with a human mindset and not a political one, but proceeds to use Matt Walsh association with republicans to express his hate for republicans.
Its a genre of music representing those who politicians ignore, coming from places Ben Shapriro and Matt Walsh wouldn't even think of going to, the trenches. Them saying that its soulless is an uneducated assumption, because the heart of rap is the heart, the messages deep within the lyrics, prayers and wishes that it will get better for the world, messages of equality and love, and display of what its like in the deep, dark areas that most people wouldn't survive. In the words of 21 Savage, "Rap saved me"
I would consider myself “republican” or at least right wing or conservative. However I love hip hop it’s my favorite genre and my father (who is also conservative) loves hip hop just as much. We grew up in the Lower East Side of Manhattan and we were both raised in very Christian households. There’s a lot of conservatives who love rap music even though we may disagree with some of their political takes. Conservatives are over represented by old white people that are racist (which is understandable). One thing that’s surprising is that a lot of rapper are conservative, Christian, and Pro Gun. I feel like it’s important to listen to other perspectives so you don’t fall into an echo chamber

I am a rapper, and have been since 2006. I’ve listened to the music since 1992, approx. From writing my own raps, I can say that if you think this music, or media in general, doesn’t affect you, you’re delusional. One example of this, that I think just about anyone can relate to, is that you’ll have noticed how listeners of any given genre tend to talk, dress and act the same. What we’re never taught in Western society is that thought induces action, so if I can get you talking/thinking a certain way, behaviours and actions befitting those thoughts will naturally follow. This doesn’t mean that if you listen to Hip Hop that you’re going to shoot and kill, but it does mean that you’ll probably have a mind loaded with attack thoughts and ego, and this affects your life in the deepest way possible. You’ll find yourself being very argumentative, repeating arguments in your head over and over and making yourself the winner. You’ll believe in revenge, and domination. You’ll be highly judgemental, and perhaps anxious and/or depressed as a result, or most likely destined for that at some point. You get away with nothing in this life. Stop fooling yourselves. This has been extremely difficult for me to admit, but my experience is undeniable. At this point, I still listen to the music, but speaking this truth is a matter of personal integrity.

Yeah its super wack and cringey when conservatives who are mostly in their 30's-40's, bash hip hop. And it's one aspect of why the right has been incapable of appealing to younger crowds. But fuck man, you lost me as soon as you said you weren't approaching it as a leftist, but 10 seconds later claimed that defining "woman" is a "complex, multi layered" issue. It's just not. Probably you should watch the documentary or at least more than 2 clips from it, before making statements about it.

Any expression of someone’s feelings/soul has potential to be beautiful, no matter what genre, instruments or words are used in that expression. Some rap is trash, vapid and soulless, but some tracks are profound, and creative. Same with rock, country, all of it.

They're trans women/men and should be treated as such. The hard part about all this is figuring out how to actually treat everyone in a fair manner

Tom is the favorite rapper of white boomer conservatives.
Correct, and it harkens back to the history of all these genres. Rock, Blues, Jazz, House, Funk all these genres were originally hated or dubbed "negro devil music", until white artist started engaging in them, then suddenly they became tolerable. These people don't hate the music, if they did they wouldn't copy it so much. They hate that it's a black person singing it. We know they love the music, why else would they continuously try to whitewash the genres and erase blacks from influencing them

Rap is a garbage music form. The fact that you have to defend it so heavily is proof of this. The idea that music theory can be dismissed as it somehow “does” apply to rap or it’s somehow not an actual science is a joke.

@pleasure limit the last Super Bowl would disagree
fantastic video. cant stand these mfs disrespecting what is, in my opinion, the best genre of music, ever. rap, through sampling, is quite literally limitless, and can encompass pretty much every genre. you can literally sample beethoven’s second symphony and make a crazy rap song out of it, and that song could sound a million different ways depending on how the producer uses the sample! it’s almost like these people have an issue with the people creating the music succeeding rather than any actual criticism against the music itself…
never thought of it that way, but yeah. the only thing matt “criticized” were the “lies” in the lyrics, when it was brag rap 🤦♂️
Yeah, you’re right- rap straight up sucks ass.
Every genre is limited in its own way, hip hop isn't particularly special in that regard. Sampling isn't unique to hip hop, it precedes it. It's one of my favorite genres, but no there's need to gas it up and sell other genres short. There's plenty of things hip hop can't do that other genres can, and the opposite is also true.
They’re mad black people keep making the most popular genres. Ignore them
@shadez yeah I agree no need to put it over other music styles, especially since sampling far predates hip-hop and is in itself, reliant on every other form of music. Additionally, you can pull from all sorts of places artistically as someone not based in hip-hop and be just as, if not more diverse and creative.

Please shut up, you know nothing about those genres
"people hate on the genre i like too much!" *proceeds to hate on another genre*
wasn't even a very good point either, the subject matter of death metal songs usually isn't real life, unlike rap. if a rapper says they shot someone then they probably shot someone, but death metal bands don't actually sacrifice people to satan, even though they make songs about it
I'm black, and I can definitely say hip hop kind of has a bad effect on the black community.

An annoyance I have with Matt's "crying out to god in my $50k pants" thing is the fact that Polo G is pleading for better days WITH all these possessions is not hypocrisy, it's that he has these things but he knows they aren't fulfilling. He has clothes, women, cars, stacks of money, but there's still something empty inside from the conditions he's in and his own feelings that he couldn't fill with all of the possessions in the world.
In 2005 a conservative journalist named Bernard Goldberg wrote a book titled "100 People (Who I Think) Are Screwing Up America". In it he talks about how much rap music is "ruining America" and lists Ludacris and Eminem as 2 of the 100 people.

Well, there IS a reason why any rapper that comes out as a Republican/Conservative faces an insane amount of backlash. The Republicans hate this kind of music...matter of fact, the reason most creatives in general are liberals, not just rappers, is because conservative people usually only want to keep things as they are and not take any risk. Being a musician, actor, film maker, painter, graphic designer etc is too big of a risk to them as it doesn't guarantee stability financially or work wise as opposed to a 'regular job'. Because of the often unconventional, some times hedonistic lifestyles of many creatives, they generally advocate for change, while just preserving things the way they are doesn't really advocate any form of change. Sure, there are plenty of known creatives who became republicans later in life (Tom Selleck, James Woods, Kanye West, Gene Simmons, Morissey, Johnny Rotten to name a few), but if these guys had been BROUGHT UP as conservatives, would they have made the kind of music they made or became known for? I doubt it.
this. likewise that's often why people just want these "artists" to shut up when it comes to politics because most of the time they don't even know what they're talking about.
actually, you wanna know something the left is ruining the arts, the ruining comedy because they’re offended by everything they are ruining movies because they have to re-swap and have feminism and everything they touch. We also have things like DEI and esg, that’s further destroying film. Also, there’s a lot of conservatives that are creative and can create art. The problem is is the left blacklist them.
@@randombro89You claim the left are destroying comedy because they get easily triggered. Yet the right does the same. The right are triggered by anything that doesn’t comply with their views. The right doesn’t have good comedy either. As most right winged comedy that I have seen are often about pronouns, vaccines, and drag shows being forced down their throats( it isn’t by the way). Your second argument states feminism is bad for movie and other ways of artistic expression. I’d argue that feminism can benefit art. Feminism is the belief that both men and women are equal. This can make both the male or female characters in movies, games, music or other ways of art feel and represent both men, women, and non-binary people, etc . Characters such as Princes Peach don’t feel like a character due to the fact the games treat her as a object or prize for Mario. The Super Mario Bros Movie fixes this problem making Princes Peach apart of the plot as much of a character as Mario, Donkey Kong, or Bowser. I hope my comment doesn’t make you uncomfortable or come off as harmful. Although we have different opinions I wish you the best.
Haven't even finshed the video yet but i know Duplee dropped another banger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Music is art, and art is expression, and even if you don't like or understand a certain style of music, that doesn't make the music bad or the people wrong for enjoying it. Just because I don't particularly like Opera music doesn't mean you can't think it sounds like the best thing ever. Yeah, these dudes have their undies in a twist.
Why his head 70% forehead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
7:14 His lips dryer than his chicken 💀
Matt Walsh looks like he was created in a boardroom of corporate america
Anybody hating on rap has never tried it, I’ve been rapping for almost a decade and only in the past few years can I confidently say I’m good, no matter the medium, being able to express yourself creatively takes dedication and effort
I rap better than you.
@@ZLaw21 I bet you do
A rapper can never spend enough money in their lifetime to amount to the greed exercised by large corporations or even libertarians. Some of these Republican influencers are making rapper money, so the "I can't relate to this" is kinda funny. They aren't buying chains but they're buying dumb shit like trash media outlets and social media ads for some pointless cause, just to sell even more pointless shit to their fans.
It's not that we aren't responding because we don't know what a woman is, it's because a weird guy is walking up to us asking a question that we have no interest in talking about.
"Guys I'm not gonna approach this like a leftists" Goes on to approach it like a leftist
As a right winger I have to disagree, I genuinely love some good rap music.
"This isn't political"
*proceeds to flame and blame*
Pease don't get fooled. This whole video is just him hating on a man for not liking what he likes., He also said he would come in with a human mindset and not a political one, but proceeds to use Matt Walsh association with republicans to express his hate for republicans.
8:31 MOBB DEEP IN THE BACKROUND?!?!
Matt and Ben sounds like the type of people to listen to 1800s orchestras
Some Griselda/ Mobb Deep in the back is a plus.
MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS PLEASE DUPLEE!
That Westside in the background is such a W
Whats the name
Its a genre of music representing those who politicians ignore, coming from places Ben Shapriro and Matt Walsh wouldn't even think of going to, the trenches. Them saying that its soulless is an uneducated assumption, because the heart of rap is the heart, the messages deep within the lyrics, prayers and wishes that it will get better for the world, messages of equality and love, and display of what its like in the deep, dark areas that most people wouldn't survive. In the words of 21 Savage, "Rap saved me"
You should see what Voddie Baucham thinks of hiphop
I would consider myself “republican” or at least right wing or conservative. However I love hip hop it’s my favorite genre and my father (who is also conservative) loves hip hop just as much. We grew up in the Lower East Side of Manhattan and we were both raised in very Christian households. There’s a lot of conservatives who love rap music even though we may disagree with some of their political takes. Conservatives are over represented by old white people that are racist (which is understandable). One thing that’s surprising is that a lot of rapper are conservative, Christian, and Pro Gun. I feel like it’s important to listen to other perspectives so you don’t fall into an echo chamber
Yeah I’m a huge conservative and love rap lmao
Rap is a garbage music form. The fact that you have to defend it so heavily is proof of this. The idea that music theory can be dismissed as it somehow “does” apply to rap or it’s somehow not an actual science is a joke.
It’s not considered a science because it is the unpopular thing to do. For so many “free thinkers” who are just so much more logical and thought out then people like Ben Shapiro... you people really like to ignore the basic fact that so called “authorities” on subjects...
Like to lie...
We have literal doctors nowadays saying men can get pregnant. Are you gonna say they are right?
Bens absolutely right about rap and the proof is in how stale and bland music has gotten. It’s a fact that rap has gotten more and more “samey” along with many other kinds of music due to the advent of so called “tastes”...
No you don’t have a different taste. It’s just that you like garbage music the objectively goes against the very foundations of what music truly is. It’s like art and how people call and think literal garbage on the ground in a art museum makes it a thought provoking masterpiece...
Honestly you people are jokes... when garbage like WAP is being made. You have to ask yourself if there is some kind of connection between that and the argument that music is getting more and more terrible.
No rap has no single melody or cord of it’s own. It’s majorly stale repetitive beats that you people bring up as the future of music. There’s a reason people who like rap so often compare it to storytelling then other music. Because it isn’t music. Most rap nowadays can’t even remain in a realm of their own success that being the merging of poetry with song.
Figures like Tom McDonald who is a rapper in fact say it best. The majority of rappers today aren’t making music. Their making sound... and the idea that sound in general is music is as laughable as saying creating something makes it art. It isn’t.
Pop culture doesn’t exist because it’s genuinely popular. Especially nowadays. It exists because it’s a form of manipulation and product placement. Rap is big with shows, adverts, company’s, sports and more.
No rap isn’t good and no you idiots thinking otherwise doesn’t magically make it great. You people like the equivalent of ads on your video instead of something with actual substance.
Music has been on a trend of dying alongside raps popularity.
Honestly I don’t need to say anything else but that.
Literally me, I’m catholic but I just love rap music and it’s culture. It’s so rich and interesting. Don’t agree with the political views but good, it’s about enjoying not arguing
@@terrencemoldern2756 no one’s reading allat bro 😭
@@ankl3z898 it’s about a 3 minute read for anyone literate. It just means they can’t argue against it. That or their dumb as heck and can barely read/type.
I am a rapper, and have been since 2006. I’ve listened to the music since 1992, approx. From writing my own raps, I can say that if you think this music, or media in general, doesn’t affect you, you’re delusional. One example of this, that I think just about anyone can relate to, is that you’ll have noticed how listeners of any given genre tend to talk, dress and act the same.
What we’re never taught in Western society is that thought induces action, so if I can get you talking/thinking a certain way, behaviours and actions befitting those thoughts will naturally follow. This doesn’t mean that if you listen to Hip Hop that you’re going to shoot and kill, but it does mean that you’ll probably have a mind loaded with attack thoughts and ego, and this affects your life in the deepest way possible. You’ll find yourself being very argumentative, repeating arguments in your head over and over and making yourself the winner. You’ll believe in revenge, and domination. You’ll be highly judgemental, and perhaps anxious and/or depressed as a result, or most likely destined for that at some point.
You get away with nothing in this life. Stop fooling yourselves. This has been extremely difficult for me to admit, but my experience is undeniable. At this point, I still listen to the music, but speaking this truth is a matter of personal integrity.
No. This is refuted by a mountain of peer reviewed research.
@@myjciskate4 that research is taking things for granted. This is why it is blind to the effects that I laid out in my comment; because our society thinks that’s normal.
@@swinnyuk6584 The leaps in logic aren't supported by any evidence, just anecdotes. This is your opinion.
@@myjciskate4 people believed the world was flat at one point, too. This is equally wrong.
@@swinnyuk6584 The difference was that there was legitimate evidence to state otherwise. There's no evidence for what you're stating.
W Video👏 Couldn’t stop laughing💀
You forgot some emojis
🤣😂🤭😭
Woah woah woah easy there you don’t want to be dack riding
As a conservative their views on newer music in general other than country (bleh) is pretty backwards. Which is weird because rap is barely even political anymore it just looks dumb to clown on music that is obviously not trying to be too serious. Like every country track that comes out now doesn't say the same shit just in a different way. Just say it's not your thing and move one on of the few things that genuinely annoy me about conservatives.
You so behind
You think conservatives still listen to country
@@ET2carbon southern and midwestern conservatives of course but conservatives in other states, not really
@@YoungChuy2398I'm in the south and country is trying hard to sound like hip hop from the early 90s or some shit. It's even doing autotune now and using old ass slang from back then
@@ET2carbon yea great point. Democrats and Muslims are actually the ones listening to country.
@@howisthatgay4275 I don't have any way to second that notion. I haven't known any Muslims since leaving the sandbox and I certainly don't know any terrorist Ds in America. So, that wasn't my point at all, but I appreciate your input.
My money like lizzo my pockets are fat
Duplee breadtube rebrand??? Based
As a rap fan who isn't a republican but the past few years siding more with the right on a lot of issues, everything about this was obnoxious.
Yeah its super wack and cringey when conservatives who are mostly in their 30's-40's, bash hip hop. And it's one aspect of why the right has been incapable of appealing to younger crowds. But fuck man, you lost me as soon as you said you weren't approaching it as a leftist, but 10 seconds later claimed that defining "woman" is a "complex, multi layered" issue. It's just not.
Probably you should watch the documentary or at least more than 2 clips from it, before making statements about it.
Matt’s the type of guy to play GTA crime free
I get how mainstream rap can be unappealing to guys like Walsh (because I don' like it either), yet there was no need to be so pissed off at every nitty-gritty detail like a wannabe Sherlock
Ben Shapiro thinking that because of his father he is a musical genius is insane to me, the delusion in this guy...
That’s a political dork for you, they think because they know so much about the news that they also know a lot about pop culture
Ben Shapiro turned a new leaf
matt walsh definitely listens to NF
Any expression of someone’s feelings/soul has potential to be beautiful, no matter what genre, instruments or words are used in that expression. Some rap is trash, vapid and soulless, but some tracks are profound, and creative. Same with rock, country, all of it.
Facts honestly
God these conservative reaction channels are ridiculously generic (they all have the literal same opinion about everything) and bad at the same time
B-B-But Ben Shapiro says leftist bad
Coming from the people who think men can get pregnant.
He actin like country aint the most depression genre to listen to. Either your wife left or your truck crashed
They can't say sex because they've never had it
Shapiro and Walsh both have children though, if you know what "sex" is you wouldn't be saying that
@@angel_of_rustyeah it’s totally not just a dumb joke on a RUclips comment section bro why do yall mfs have to make everything so serious and boring
Bruh how is "what is a woman?" a complex question???
As soon as he said that, I knew this youtuber was going to be on some ignorant takes. Did not disappoint.
Its not. Conservative media puppets just ask the question to stirr people. Its hard to answer the question when the person asking you is agenda driven and has bad intentions
@@Jakejackson1980 Everything aside though, it's really not hard to define what a woman is. The part that's actually hard is figuring out how to treat trans people so that it's fair for everyone. Trans people are valid, 100%, but it's neither good for trans people nor for cis people to call trans people real men or real women, as that's simply not true. They're trans women/men and should be treated as such. The hard part about all this is figuring out how to actually treat everyone in a fair manner
I love people that sound so condescending when saying “i can’t understand what they’re saying” and also pretend they know the english so well. You claim to know english but any sense of a dialect and your brain just shuts off? Doesn’t seem like you know english very well then.
honestly duplee became two channels a plug and a music/introspective channel like this dude got MTV but goes under the name of Duplee
It’s crazy how these “guys” review superior music to their “stature”
well they're conservatives, and considering rappers often rap about violence, hedonism, and misogyny, no amount of good beats will make that look favorable to them
Not the no life shaq diss 😭😭😭
“Gangstas have feelings too…”
coming form a kid growing up in a republican household and agreeing in a large majority of republican takes, I still love rap, reggae, and many other genres. So not all republicans hate rap music. Trust me. I live in Utah plenty of right sided people I know love it.
i had a matt walsh ad on your video, not kidding
You have the most elite music taste my bro
Chief keef is the most republican Christian music out there. His songs that represent republican beliefs are “ faneto” , “ say I ain’t pick yo weak ass up” and “ now it’s over”
He is the embodiment of the white dude voice black comedians make on stage. The speech pattern , the conservative outlook and the uptight passive aggressive behavior. We know he has an audience for his type of personality here in America.
The ideal conservative/republican type
LMAOOO, he's absolutely trolling. This was a good troll of a troll XD
