Very similar pov here as well, in the rap there's jabs at diff rap artist and then it's brought home w/the hook and I think one of the really main reasons a lot of the youth are becoming "thugs/hoes" is a direct consequence of the "father less home structure"!

Or let me say not what I Want! Lol
It is far more likely to become a real right wing grifter from listening to Ben Shapiro's lies than to become a real Thug or Ho from listening to the lies and few times truths of some rappers if we are being honest, so even that message would be just as cringe and nonsensical as everything else about this song.
Ben interviewed Tom a while back and Ben informed him that he had made a “WAP” parody and Ben said his version was better. So they decided during that interview that they would do a colab…..🤣
account name is WrestlingMom, profile smiling lady photo with cute kid, you wrestling kids out here?! First off that's wrong shame on you, I should call CPS! Secondly, where can my friend get tickets in Minecraft
hmmm.. I think when Ben was talking about rap being trash he was referring to the same rap music Tom talks about. The same rap that talks about killing, doing drugs and objectifying women etc.
I've gotta be honest, when Ben said that, that's how I took it too (referring to the mainstream rap atm), though regarding the rhythm comments I've never agreed with that part
@@survivalrush Well, I think for a first timer like Ben, he actually did great, especially for someone who doesn't really rap at all (atleast since before this track). To be honest, what shocked me the most on this track wasn't Ben being a rapper but him actually doing it. It is because after hearing him talk for how many times now, I honestly think Ben has the capabilities to actually be a rapper, especially him initially being a fast talker. He just needs to sharpen the tools needed, if you get what I mean. Still, that's on him if he wants to keep on doing it. 😌
UK here. When I visited USA for 4 weeks that one thing that really touched me was the patriotism and all the flags just everywhere! I thought it was great and I hope you never stop waving your stars and stripes!
People dislike him because he's a terrible person who's entire worldview is reductionist to the point of absurdity. His views are infantile in scope, he point black refuses to engage in nuance and cares only about pushing this brain melting reductionism onto young, impressionable kids. Many of his views are exclusionist, misogynistic, fascistic & ultra-traditional: even regressive. The worst part is how he invokes science as his ally while disrespecting the cientific method - a method which is designed to eliminate bias from studies. Rather, he cherrry picks studies that either support his view or have any data that can be construed to support said view even when the study itself does not. He's disingenuous and dangerous. He, along with JP and Walsh are heavilty instrumental in the current wave of fascism that's gaining traction in the US and abroad. So yeah, some of us don't think fascists are funny.
I've listened to several reactions to this song and I have to say, yours was the best. I agreed with every you said. I applaud you for teaching your children about accountability. They aren't going to like it when they see their friends having no accountabiblity but they will shine as adults compared to their peers because of it. I speak from experience. My children had allowances and they had chores since they were young. They all have great work ethics as adults. I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to future reactions
What’s sad is there are many people in this country that believe if someone has an American Flag off their home or if they display one anywhere that immediately means that person is “far right wing”, it’s sad that raising our country’s flag is a sign of “far right” radicalism or fascism to some people. Loved the song and the reaction.
I always thought that a giant flag on a giant pole was just dudes overcompensating for something... It's not the size of your flag, its how you display it.

@@razdas9708liberals are left, and they would hate being called “right” even though he is refering to the “right or wrong” right. Play on words to trigger the leftists!!!
Ben's part is mostly from his tweets, so yes, he wrote it himself. And it's amazing! 😂 This song was something I didn't know I needed in my life, but I'm so glad it's here!
He's right - it's spoken word set to a musical background. Half the rappers can't sing a note. It should be in the spoken word category in the Grammies, not a singing/music category.
Much of Rap is more like poetry recited to a musical background. It certainly does not have the compositional structure found in traditional Western musical theories. That includes unorthodox music like the 12-Tone Theory found in Schoenberg, Webern, etc. Rap is interesting because it sounds freeform, but really good rap is as highly structured as any of the standard musical forms. It has more in common with jazz than any of the other musical genres. If you think of some of Miles Davis's early work like "Round Midnight" it's so foreign when you first hear it because it establishes a completely new musical aesthetic. Like all musical forms, some of it is completely trash while there are also fully realized pieces that could not exist in any other form. The first piece that really got my attention was Coolio's "Gangsta Paradise," in 1995 as it seemed fully realized and integrated where the words and music reinforced each other. In fact, it is so good, that it allowed Al Yankovic to write a parody "White & Nerdy" and the structure of the original held up in the parody.
Great reaction BP and thank you for not taking something said previously and then calling Bens part crap solely cause of something said previous to this. Its nice to see at least some of the reactors being open minded and giving credit where credit is due. Thank you. Your reaction was fun and informative. 😊😊Great job as usual BP❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is the power of Tom. He convinced Ben that he was wrong in his statement. I can count on one hand the number of people who have changed Ben's mind.

@@rodneybever9583 I wouldn't really call these people zealots though, they are just childish, flat earthers true but those are luckily very rare, and Ben Shapiro isn't as extreme as a flat earther to be honest.
The same pathologies of the minority -majority city are also rife in majority -white rural areas. The populations are just less dense and don't get as much attention. In fact, rap and hip hop are just as popular in poor rural white communities as in poor urban black communities. I think Ben at least deserves credit for going WAY outside his comfort zone 😂
He just did a debate on lex Friedman with Destiny and at the end lex asked him if he still didn’t think rap was music and he said “I could he persuaded”. It’s a great debate though.
I love it! I found your channel because of your Rammstein reactions. My favourite band. Love them. And now you're reacting to my favourite journalist rapping with Tom MacDonald. Crazy... Love it. Love the song. Love Ben, love Tom, love you. Thanks. Greetings from Germany
I love that you featured this on the channel! Discovered you with Harry Mack… love the ERB… and now this!!!! You have a new subscriber! Please keep it up
You won me over with your clear love for our great nation. You articulate so well, which is a rare quality on many of these reaction channels. I gave my left arm and left eye from the shrapnel of a well placed mortar round in the wilds around Saigon in 1970. It wasn’t until now that I have begun questioning if my sacrifice was worth it. Thank you for sharing your profound thoughts. Would you accept a prosthetic arm handshake?
Their whole point was that they "Industry " is pushing the negative. Tom was years in alcohol and drugs under the influence of that music. Ben hopped on board to add humor and to repeat tweets he had with rappers about their content.
One of the best thing about this video was seeing Ben use the word cap because I saw a video not long ago where Brett Cooper was teaching him how the word is used by today’s youth.
You touch on some good points here. As a dad who had to give up everything and spend $40,000 in lawyers fees fighting for my kid....it make me look long amd hard at our custody system. Where we are with fathers is no accident. It was a steady progression of laws all the way up to early 1970's from the 1800's. Mother preference, a welfare state, aggressive child support laws, DV and restraining order laws being exparte....even abortion and birth control. It all led to Fathers being removed from their role in the family and home. It is no coincidence that the government has rapidly expanded and enforced indoctrination on our kids in public schools. It is no accident we have so many fatherless homes. Women being pushed into the workplace is only the next phase. 2 Hiccups in the whole process came in 1979 and 1989 that changed how custody was determined. Fathers now had an avenue if they fought and stood their ground in court. Since 1990, men have gone from being only 10% of single custody parents to over 25% and it grows every year. Black families used to have the highest monogomy rates in the 95+ % before the welfare state was introduced. I listen to Christian rap and hip-hop myself, and some other select guys like NF, as you mentioned. I can't stand the mainstream stuff. 0
Dude! You know how fast Ben talks, for him to rap, he has to SLOW it DOWN! LOL, I thought it was an outstanding way for Tom and Ben to have fun and they brought it all together, for our joy. Love Tom, Nova, and Ben!
The bridge has a definite "Piss The World Off" vibe (Gravestones album track#2), awesome track!!! Was kinda hoping for a violin solo, but maybe on the remix 🤷🤞Always enjoy your reactions and breakdowns 🙏 #HOG
15:30 "I lived in a two parent home; but they worked a lot." The same force that keeps us divided also, worked to keep people poor so that both parents had to work; to diminish the teaching of values to the children.
Such a brilliant take - I agree with you 100% about the corporate corruption of hip hop. It's a longer discussion of who was behind that and why, but the net result is the same. Fortunately, the evil behind the corruption hasn't been totally successful in killing the foundation of the genre and there's still hope (quite a bit, actually) that rap will return to it's roots and be a force for good in the culture.
There’s definite solid message here and they both stay on message. That being said, don’t miss the intentional satire and comedic effect underlying this whole song/video. The premise of adding Ben to a rap and getting millions of views is freaking hilarious bro. Great comments in the reaction. Loved This

I am 70 years old and I love this song..as far as Ben he was awesome...I love Tom have been listening to him for ages....
Rhythm And Poetry (RAP) That's where the term came from. Originally it was not considered music. With all things it evolved. Killing it as usual!
huh...you learn something new everyday lol thanks
it should still be in the spoken word category of the Grammies though - half the rappers couldn't sing a single line on key.
I've already watched this like a dozen times and you're the second reactor I'm going to see do it so this is awesome. I forwarded it to at least a dozen of my friends downloaded it. I think it's great. I hope you enjoy it as much
BP I'm glad that artists like you and Tom have brought back real rap.
I enjoyed hearing your thoughts and I know political stuff can be difficult. When I found out Ben Shapiro was in a rap I laughed so damn hard. You got me back into rap with your reactions and freestyles. Thank you!
Always love tom words play "every liberal is right" 😂😂😂
That is the best line in the song 😂
Clever
@@razdas9708liberals are left, and they would hate being called “right” even though he is refering to the “right or wrong” right. Play on words to trigger the leftists!!!
To be on the right means you’re conservative, liberals are on the left (but a liberal is never wrong hence the word play)
@@razdas9708the libs are notoriously wrong about everything, to be fair not always but 99.99% they are
Ben's part is mostly from his tweets, so yes, he wrote it himself. And it's amazing! 😂 This song was something I didn't know I needed in my life, but I'm so glad it's here!
Russell Simmons also said rap wasnt music and he was a rap producer..
He's right - it's spoken word set to a musical background. Half the rappers can't sing a note. It should be in the spoken word category in the Grammies, not a singing/music category.
Much of Rap is more like poetry recited to a musical background. It certainly does not have the compositional structure found in traditional Western musical theories. That includes unorthodox music like the 12-Tone Theory found in Schoenberg, Webern, etc. Rap is interesting because it sounds freeform, but really good rap is as highly structured as any of the standard musical forms. It has more in common with jazz than any of the other musical genres. If you think of some of Miles Davis's early work like "Round Midnight" it's so foreign when you first hear it because it establishes a completely new musical aesthetic. Like all musical forms, some of it is completely trash while there are also fully realized pieces that could not exist in any other form. The first piece that really got my attention was Coolio's "Gangsta Paradise," in 1995 as it seemed fully realized and integrated where the words and music reinforced each other. In fact, it is so good, that it allowed Al Yankovic to write a parody "White & Nerdy" and the structure of the original held up in the parody.
You must be in your 50s I've followed RDMC since the beginning
Great reaction BP and thank you for not taking something said previously and then calling Bens part crap solely cause of something said previous to this. Its nice to see at least some of the reactors being open minded and giving credit where credit is due. Thank you. Your reaction was fun and informative. 😊😊Great job as usual BP❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hang Over Gang in the house! This old vet loves the message!! HOG!!
This is the power of Tom. He convinced Ben that he was wrong in his statement. I can count on one hand the number of people who have changed Ben's mind.
Well how do you change the mind of someone who probably knows that he lies, and a religious zealot?
@@marvinkant5205 Everyone is a zealot about one thing or another. Call others a zealot doesn't exonerate oneself of that. Most people hate in others what they see in themselves.
@@rodneybever9583 I don't think that most people are religious zealots, in europe for example many people are not even religious at all after all, and also not zealots in other regards because you need to be pretty extreme to count as an outright zealot.
@@marvinkant5205 I don't know...think of just the video game industry to name one example. Ever see the reaction of you call link Zelda? Lol. Or how about Flat earthers? For me it is spiders. Woe to the man who harms a spider in my presence!
@@rodneybever9583 I wouldn't really call these people zealots though, they are just childish, flat earthers true but those are luckily very rare, and Ben Shapiro isn't as extreme as a flat earther to be honest.
The same pathologies of the minority -majority city are also rife in majority -white rural areas. The populations are just less dense and don't get as much attention. In fact, rap and hip hop are just as popular in poor rural white communities as in poor urban black communities.
I think Ben at least deserves credit for going WAY outside his comfort zone 😂
The music industry re-labeled "R.A.P. MUSIC," To Hip-hop. At first, RAP, was recognized as Rhythmic American Poetry.
Ben is a very accomplished violinist. So I would have to say he has a Rhythm.
This is so well timed ...at. A time where people need HOPE!!!
Appreciate your take man. Ben is a world class violinist- seems like he is growing. May we all.
15:46 if you’re curious if Ben written his verse has been parts of his own tweets and shows that he has done.
I will be honest, I was not sure about this. But, after hearing it. I think it was epic!!!!!!
He just did a debate on lex Friedman with Destiny and at the end lex asked him if he still didn’t think rap was music and he said “I could he persuaded”. It’s a great debate though.
This is turning into one of my favorite channels.
I love it! I found your channel because of your Rammstein reactions. My favourite band. Love them. And now you're reacting to my favourite journalist rapping with Tom MacDonald. Crazy... Love it. Love the song. Love Ben, love Tom, love you. Thanks. Greetings from Germany
Not gonna lie, some of Bens bars are fire. I wonder if he wrote them or not?
My pockets are fat like Lizzo - Its a yamika, homie, no cap
As far as I know, most of it was from tweets, Ben's put out. They just put the tweets together, for the rap.
I’ve been watching reaction videos on this all night and I found your channel - just subbed ❤ this song the ANTHEM!!
He’s right…facts! It’s rap, it’s “musical”🤷🏻♂️ but it ain’t music…Tom is the man! Dude don’t be offended; think about it! 🙏✝️❤️
I love that you featured this on the channel! Discovered you with Harry Mack… love the ERB… and now this!!!! You have a new subscriber! Please keep it up
You won me over with your clear love for our great nation. You articulate so well, which is a rare quality on many of these reaction channels. I gave my left arm and left eye from the shrapnel of a well placed mortar round in the wilds around Saigon in 1970. It wasn’t until now that I have begun questioning if my sacrifice was worth it. Thank you for sharing your profound thoughts. Would you accept a prosthetic arm handshake?
This is one of the best and most balanced reactions to not just the song, but the messaging and the people behind it. Great work!
Their whole point was that they "Industry " is pushing the negative. Tom was years in alcohol and drugs under the influence of that music. Ben hopped on board to add humor and to repeat tweets he had with rappers about their content.
Best, most neutral reaction I have seen on this video. I fucks with your music and reactions to music. God bless brother, keep getting it in.
One of the best thing about this video was seeing Ben use the word cap because I saw a video not long ago where Brett Cooper was teaching him how the word is used by today’s youth.
great vid, one thing these two have in common, neither of them care about your feelings hahaha. thanks, have a great day
Respect! Love from Romania! 🇷🇴🤝🏻🇺🇸 Stay strong 💪🏻 !
You touch on some good points here. As a dad who had to give up everything and spend $40,000 in lawyers fees fighting for my kid....it make me look long amd hard at our custody system. Where we are with fathers is no accident. It was a steady progression of laws all the way up to early 1970's from the 1800's.
Mother preference, a welfare state, aggressive child support laws, DV and restraining order laws being exparte....even abortion and birth control. It all led to Fathers being removed from their role in the family and home. It is no coincidence that the government has rapidly expanded and enforced indoctrination on our kids in public schools. It is no accident we have so many fatherless homes. Women being pushed into the workplace is only the next phase.
2 Hiccups in the whole process came in 1979 and 1989 that changed how custody was determined. Fathers now had an avenue if they fought and stood their ground in court. Since 1990, men have gone from being only 10% of single custody parents to over 25% and it grows every year.
Black families used to have the highest monogomy rates in the 95+ % before the welfare state was introduced.
I listen to Christian rap and hip-hop myself, and some other select guys like NF, as you mentioned. I can't stand the mainstream stuff. 0
Ben’s ability to speak fast and bring the facts is so underrated
Well the faster he talks the lesser facts he usually brings.
To be honest, I've never been a rapper fan. But this group could certainly make me listen!!!
Did not expect that. I thought it was A.I. at 1st. 😂😂😂 🔥
Looks pretty close. The reason is Ben is rapping in a studio and Tom is rapping in a warehouse.
@@kellyt5341 I was thinking it was going to be A.I. before even watching it. Lol
Straight Flaming Facts!
#HOGARMY in the house...
🤟😎
I agree with your analysis and BTW … I fly the American flag everyday… America First🇺🇸
Great reaction BP! You are a great role model! Thanks for sharing your passion with us!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Awesome reaction! Thanks ♥️ Much Love! #Hangovergang #Ben Shapiro #Facts
❤😂He through it out in an interview and actually got him to do it😊
Ben sounds 80's and I love it. Yeah I know, I'm old. 😔
You're just getting started, LFG.
"And i make 💲💲Racks off compound interest, yall live with your parents"
Lol that shit was HARD
BEN IS A MENACE
Ben actually plays the violin so he knows rhythm.
I didn’t know how much I needed this! Thanks BP 🙏🏽
"Facts don't care how you feel." True. Don't get offended by facts.
So long as the 'facts' are actually factual 🙂
Dude! You know how fast Ben talks, for him to rap, he has to SLOW it DOWN! LOL, I thought it was an outstanding way for Tom and Ben to have fun and they brought it all together, for our joy. Love Tom, Nova, and Ben!
The bridge has a definite "Piss The World Off" vibe (Gravestones album track#2), awesome track!!! Was kinda hoping for a violin solo, but maybe on the remix 🤷🤞Always enjoy your reactions and breakdowns 🙏 #HOG
15:30 "I lived in a two parent home; but they worked a lot." The same force that keeps us divided also, worked to keep people poor so that both parents had to work; to diminish the teaching of values to the children.
Epic Rap Battles of history
Ben did remind me of some of their verses.
When Ben dropped the line about making compound interest you're face changed to "oh shit he's going there on the haters."
Such a brilliant take - I agree with you 100% about the corporate corruption of hip hop. It's a longer discussion of who was behind that and why, but the net result is the same. Fortunately, the evil behind the corruption hasn't been totally successful in killing the foundation of the genre and there's still hope (quite a bit, actually) that rap will return to it's roots and be a force for good in the culture.
There’s definite solid message here and they both stay on message. That being said, don’t miss the intentional satire and comedic effect underlying this whole song/video. The premise of adding Ben to a rap and getting millions of views is freaking hilarious bro.
Great comments in the reaction. Loved This
I’m here for it. We need a Tom/Trump duo!
America needs a Tom/Trump duo 😂 #tomforvp 😂
Toms line on trump 3 to 4 yrs ago - i dont like donald trump or sleepy joe.....
Don MacDonald and Tomald Trump
@@734gman-vs5ufeven he was jumping on the “centrist” bandwagon; nobody’s perfect, we all know any1 who doesn’t support Trump is braindead even Tom. He was just a pussy.
as much as i like trump, i bet hed probably losing breath doing it 😂
You're always one of my favorite to watch react. I love how much you appreciate the work.
This song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I watched a lot of people who reacted to this get hot under the collar about it. Pay attention to the lyrics, he is rapping the truth and he isn't afraid to say it.
In turn, people shouldn't be afraid to hear the truth as well. As we have said for generations, and is so important especially today, the TRUTH will set us ALL free.
