Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / Ben Shapiro #1 Rap Song Suppressed
Transcript
- 0:03So one thing I was definitely not expecting for twenty twenty four was seeing Ben
- 0:07Shapiro the rapper, and yet somehow, beyond all reason, that's what we
- 0:13got. And personally, I think this might be the funniest thing, the
- 0:17most hilarious thing that could happen this year. The only thing that could possibly
- 0:22be more hilarious would be Ben Shapiro being cast in a remake of The A
- 0:26Team as mister T. And maybe I'm asking too much, but hey,
- 0:30a man can dream. Here's the headline, they don't want this song at
- 0:34number one. Tom McDonald Ben Shapiro discussed suppression of rap song facts quote,
- 0:41we're living in some sort of upside down backwards freak show. So here's a
- 0:45picture of Ben Shapiro and Tom McDonald, and I have to say, even
- 0:49in this picture, Ben Shapiro seems a little bit awkward. It just feels
- 0:53like it's a world he does not belong in, and that kind of makes
- 0:57it all the more awesome and hilarious in my opinion. And of course the
- 1:00leftist media is freaking out about it. Here's Daily Beast. Ben Shapiro is
- 1:04a rapper now, because that's what twenty twenty four deserves. How about this?
- 1:11Ben Shapiro makes rap debut on worst song ever here at TMZ. Ben
- 1:15Shapiro rapping for first time in new music video getting bad reactions. Oh this
- 1:22is my favorite here Maga rap is the worst form of cultural appropriation. So
- 1:27I think the left has evolved on that issue. Actually, I think it
- 1:30used to be white people making tacos. Here a mediaite homie. I'm epic.
- 1:37Ben Shapiro's new rap video is the cringiest thing you will ever watch.
- 1:41Now. As I've said, I think it's hilarious and awesome. I mean,
- 1:45just the concept is hilarious. But I will say in the criticisms there
- 1:49is a seed of truth there because although Tom McDonald is very good at what
- 1:55he does, obviously a lot of people like his music, there is still
- 2:00field no way for Ben Shapiro to rap without it being cringy in some way.
- 2:07It's just impossible. And I like Ben Shapiro broadly speaking. I like
- 2:10him. I don't agree with everything he says, but I'm a subscriber to
- 2:14Daily Wire, and I would agree, I think with more things with him
- 2:17than I would disagree. So I want Ben Shapiro to succeed. But all
- 2:22of that said, again, there is no way for Ben Shapiro to rap
- 2:28without it being at least somewhat cringey. And maybe that's just part of the
- 2:34appeal. And regardless, it doesn't matter because it became the number one song
- 2:38on iTunes over the weekend. That's right, Ben Shapiro rapping on the number
- 2:44one song on iTunes. And it's actually true. You're not dreaming. Maybe
- 2:51you're on drugs, but when you sober up, Ben Shapiro will still have
- 2:54been, at least for however long, number one rapper in the country.
- 3:00He even got a shout out from Nicki Minaj. She said, I just
- 3:04listened to it, Ben Shapiro, not bad. Congrats on number one?
- 3:07What what? How can this be real? I mean, if Ben Shapiro
- 3:12had a giant ass, it would all make much more sense. But we
- 3:15must be living in the simulation. But in any case, apparently the industry
- 3:20doesn't actually like it. Independent artist Tom McDonald said Monday that some in the
- 3:24music industry are working to suppress his new rap song Facts, which features Daily
- 3:30Wire editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro, over the content of the song. Now.
- 3:38He says that this song openly rejects the glorification of destructive behavior that is so
- 3:44commonly promoted in rap music. Let's see Ben Shapiro read lyrics from one of
- 3:49rapper Megan the Stallion's top songs, Hiss, and compared it to some of
- 3:54the lyrics in McDonald's song. Let's take a look at some of these lyrics
- 3:59from the song Hiss by Megan thee Stallion. I feel like Mariah Carey got
- 4:03these n words so obsessed my pussy so famous, might get managed by Chris
- 4:10Jenner. Next, he can't move on, can't let it go? He
- 4:14hooked nose full of that Tina Snow and I can absolutely not see Ben Shapiro
- 4:19ever writing anything like that. Let's see some about Ben Shapiro's lyrics from Facts
- 4:26and I make racks off compound interest. Y'all live with your parents. Nikki
- 4:30takes some notes. I just did this for fun. All my people download
- 4:34this. Let's get a Billboard number one. So rapping about compound interest.
- 4:40That definitely feels a lot more like Ben Shapiro, And it also doesn't feel
- 4:45like lyrical content that anybody should really be all that worried about. McDonald said
- 4:49in the video posted online Sunday evening that Tuoncore, a distribution company for independent
- 4:56artists, refused to release Facts because of lyrical Maybe it's the part where Tom
- 5:01McDonald here seems to understand basic biology, where he says there's only two genders,
- 5:06boys and girls. Quote. This is how the music industry screws independent
- 5:12artists, McDonald said. Whether you like me or hate me, or think
- 5:15my music is awesome or think it's trash, I don't care. He also
- 5:18said that YouTube was suppressing Facts by keeping it in the second slot on the
- 5:23platform's trending songs, despite it garnering more views and comments than the leading song,
- 5:29Megan the Stallion's Hiss. Quote. We're out performing her in every metric,
- 5:33McDonald elaborated on Monday, and the further we get in the lead,
- 5:36we're stuck at number two. They're not allowing us to pass Megan the Stallion
- 5:42and hit that number one spot. And of course this comes out to the
- 5:46surprise of nobody. I wouldn't be surprised if the Billboard Charts are in communications
- 5:49with the White House. But whatever they do, I mean, still the
- 5:54number one song on iTunes, which is again unbelievably hilarious. So let's end
- 6:00it off with this a tweet from Ben Shapiro, where now number one overall
- 6:03on iTunes too. On the way we knocked off, among others, justin
- 6:08Timberlake, Britney Spears, Megandy Stallion, Nicki, Minaj, Eminem and Taylor
- 6:14Swift At Tom McDonald and I have officially made hip hop great again, as
- 6:18was always my lifelong dream. He's having a lot of fun with this,
- 6:25he says. I just want to thank God, Tom McDonald and my parents
- 6:29who paid for fifteen years of classical violin lessons so I could become the number
- 6:33one rapper in America. So with that, I'll end it and just God
- 6:38knows what's going to happen next. Anyway, That's all I gotta say about
- 6:41that. Please subscribe, like and share. Sharing really helps me out.
- 6:44I thank you for that. I will see you next time.
