Facts – Tom MacDonald (feat. Ben Shapiro)

Who cares if anyone thinks Shapiro is not “MAGA” enough.

Stop blaming the radical left for “you are 100% with me or you are against me” and then turning around and doing the same thing.

Don’t become the monster you wish to slay.

This song is awesome. It is good and it is hilarious.  It has a message and it makes you smile.

This is how you affect culture in a positive way, by making positive culture.

“Now you’ve become
Everything you claimed to fight
Through your need to feel you’re right
You’re the savior of nothing now”

–Disturbed – “Savior of Nothing”

Is he that much different from Nikki Haley or Ilhan Omar?

Pro open borders, pro wars, and foreign priorities.  You know there’s a reason he doesn’t debate anyone on the right, don’t you? He’s not who you think he is and not as smart as you think he is either. It’s packaging.

I would have loved this rap song as a teenager though. Would have been a Tom Mac fan. Hiphop had so much potential before it was hijacked for gangsta image by record companies. Guess Ice Cube is out there talking about the the rap to prison industrial complex, but I’m skeptical about that because you see it the world over. As the years went on, I realized just how much American students are deprived of their roots because the focus is more on diversity. That is being shortchanged by your own teachers. It is a disservice.

It’s sub-culture. Not culture. I dig Tom’s raps but I can’t even look at him. He’s an eyesore and naturally repugnant, but must say, that this is clear psyop deception.

I would argue with you further that by passing anyone you talk to through a litmus test of “do you support Israel” is counterproductive and exhibits the same exact traits of the radicals you complain about.

I forgot Shapiro was Jewish otherwise I would not have even replied to you on this as you are so blinded by Jew hatred that you cannot see the forest for the trees.

You think that moving things in a positive direction is a function of separating people out into groups and aligning yourself with the ones you agree with.  That’s not only entirely wrong that’s EXACTLY how we have gotten to the point we are at.

We are one government action away (Texas vs. Federal) from something life altering happening here.  And you are half a breath away from WW3.

But yes, do continue to concentrate on labelling people so you can  hate them.

All you are doing is fanning the flames of the very fire that will engulf you while complaining about the burns.

<p>hiphop in the late 70’s and early 80’s was extremely bareboned. I would argue the golden age of hiphop was the 90’s and early 2000’s</p>

Appreciate the old skool. I prefer East Coast to West. Hiphop used to have such fun and witty lyrics. In a way though, I kind of think something died when they cancelled Soul Train. It was like a subliminal signal that the party times were over. I’m having trouble coming up with examples of old actual hiphop. The power of it was just that there was so many indie artists. Once anything is centrally controlled, you see how everything becomes kind of a copy or clone and any scene like that will die and I think that is why Late Night and Broadcast News Media collapsed.

I absolutely cannot stand rap/hip hop, unless it is old school, and I mean old like 80’s. This song clearly isn’t for me. But, it is nice to see a truthful message being put out there instead of the absolute trash that permeates the modern rap/hip hop culture.

Agree. Unfortunately, there was a time I listened to all of it. “Hiphop and R&B” was like a mantra for at least a decade. Over time, my ideas of culture changed, so what people say when they talk about “The Culture War” is the manufactured consent, throwaway, temporary gimmicky novelty acts that they have to keep creating and that used to be the strength and glue that held things together, but now, it’s just become ugly and cheap.

I like the ones listed above, especially the first two by the girl groups. Salt N Pepa was big. Tone Loc. Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock, Mc Shy D. Bunch of others. That lil bit taller, wish I was baller guy. Music used to be just kind of fun, creative, ditzy and light-hearted. IMO, Gangsta Rap and Grunge Rock killed the heart and soul of music. There is some of it that I like, but for the most part, the thugs are just terrible musicians and low-level thinkers and speakers.

Still, I remember some actual musicians, like a trumpet player, telling me about how he liked hiphop for the improvisational lyrics that flowed like they would from a horn, but in lyrical and vocal form and especially, because, of course, the beat and rhythm of the vocals was more musical at one time. The quality declined though. Some people naturally have it, but I kind of think you should at least be able to play the drums or another instrument, so one at least has the concepts of music.
