To be further annoyed, imagine Ben Shapiro's nasally reprimand to Kanye West: "Sorry, what you're producing is *not* music"

With the way he yaps away at 1000 words per minute I would think he would make a decent rapper. His rap name could have been Neo Con. Missed oportunity I guess.

He doesn't imagine a public need, he correctly sees an opportunity to score points with his base and keep that Patreon going. Racially coded condescension is his whole brand.

Listened to a longer version. He's talking to a rapper, who then countered with his own views on rap. Shapiro also "downgraded" rock and even jazz. It's really just intellectual think tanking on a show. Big deal.

Not a fan of Shapiro at all, but what he says there is essentially true if you exclude sampling.

There was a study out a few years ago where they were able to track chord changes over different eras. In the 90’s they noted hit songs tended to lack any chordal structure - marking the ascendancy of Rap

I don't like Shapiro. But good on him for explaining his remarks on rap to a rapper. At least he didn't back down. I'll have to see how Zuby responds. Lol. Zuby I like.

Hearing someone slam Rap, is music in my ears.

Wait what?? Rappers use melody all through-out their music, especially in the hooks. And most rappers harmonize with the beat. Ben Sharpio doesn't know what he's talking about

No way he’s listened to enough rap to have an opinion. The only big genre I don’t care much for is country, but I don’t go around trying to delegitimize it.

A person who has no talent in making music should not be criticising what music 'should' be. Especially someone like Shapiro

Once you restrict people on social media from commenting on things they don't know anything about it is a slippery slope.

There wasn't a strong public need for your hot take about how stand up comedy supposedly isn't funny either.

People like Shapiro delusionally think there’s a strong public desire for them to explain their views on anything....

Is this his real voice, or is this auto tuned?

it's like that scene in dead poet society in which a fictional book introduction claims the ability to rate poems as a function of readable satisfaction plotted against known fame of the author (and Robin Williams later gets in trouble for ripping that page out)...
