It's not. It's the exact same reactionary losers these days as in the 80s. If you weren't aware, bigots in the 80s thought they were rebels as well. You should look at Ben Shapiro's 1 hour tantrum about the Barbie movie.. Or him reading the lyrics to WAP in absolute disgust... It's not counter culture, it's just more conservative hysteria. They literally want to move back to a time where gayness and transgender stuff isn't a thing.. Just like how people in the 80s wanted to go back to the times where black people didn't have the vote. Counter culture pushes us into new ground. Conservatives are standing firm trying to stop things from changing.. If trying to stop things from changing is "counter culture" to you, maybe look up counter culture and feel less smug. The "new punk" isn't traditional values. lol
Hindsight is 20/20.. democrats today were the counter culture of the 60 and 70’s. This progressive wing is just the 60’s and 70’s counter culture version 2.0. It’s crazy how the Soviets infiltrated our institutions during the 60’s and the CCP is doing the same now.
Crazy how I list basic facts and RU-vid’s algorithm deletes it, in no way was it harmful. Just was pointing out the counter culture of the 60’s and how our institutions were infiltrated. Crazy you can’t comment that stuff.
@@C3rhynew day and age. It’s either your with the mob that’s been brainwashed into believing anything or your against them, no more gray area I’m afraid
Ben wrote his own lyrics from tweets he has put out he dissed Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, M&M, and called out Nikki Minaj who actually congratulated Ben for charting.
@@meesterdinglefritz2064 Provide some evidence, or in this case, some facts. Either way, really doesn't matter, he's ripping on someone, but thank you for your eloquent response.
Imagine being a rebellious teen in your room and your parents hear you in there screaming WE WONT TURN YOUR SONS INTO THUGS OR YOUR DAUGHTERS INTO HOES Lmao woke parents looking at each other shaking their heads saying "its just a phase he'll grow out of it"
When I was growing up if I stole from a store or from a person,I got thebelt to my backside.That's what is wrong today,these kids not gettin they ass beat.
Nicki Minaj even congratulated him and asked who tom was like it wasn't the 30th time he topped her on billboard 😅😅I was don't act like you ain't seen his name before tom and ben actually reached number 1 in iTunes world wide for a week
I really respect your opinions and I am so glad you had a look at this one. No one expected Ben to be "good" but all in all he wasn't bad. This is a huge marketing win for Tom and his way of trolling the industry - he beats them at the game all the time. Tom promotes a more positive message than main stream rap and the fact he can do it independently, well, that just makes some people mad. Love him or hate him, Tom MacDonald is winning. #hog4ever
Show me all the serious music critics who are praising this hack Tom MacDonald (that's right, there are zero). Only people worshipping him are the maga-lunatics who like everyone who sucks Trump's dick.
The problem with facts is that too many people mistake facts for bigotry. In reality if they would take those facts and examine 'why' they are facts they would then be able to address any problems with those facts without tossing the facts out of the window.
Well I'm glad you finally stepped outside your comfort zone and gave Tom a chance Thank You 🙏 HOG FAMILY 4 LIFE 🎯😎 Hope you will do one of Tom's non political songs like Castles 👍
Props to you for reacting. It was obvious that you were super uncomfortable. This was a troll and huge middle finger to the music industry. Tom never expected it to be a masterpiece.
Strikes me that the USA needs heroes. It's too many sitting on the fence has allowed evil, low morals, and chaos to flourish cheered on by 'liberal warriors'. Began in the 1960's. Inspired by an evil left wing ideology. Humans need boundaries and discipline. Orwell's futuristic nightmare world wasn't as bad as this.
The funniest thing is you can still see the creases in Ben's hoodie that just came out of the package And I guarantee those creases are still there because he was probably out of it before Nova even turned off the camera!
All deep rap songs either have a violin or a piano in it. Everytime you hear a classic that bumps it will ha e some sort of piano or violin. Just look at ODB, return to the 36 chambers was piano heavy and same with wu-tang songs he did. It puts emotion into the song.
Thanks Jamal, I always appreciate your intellectual honesty. Can’t believe it’s been nearly four years since I’ve been checking out your reactions. You’re the best.
2024 is the year of exposure, this might be the wake-up call we as a Black community desperately need. Sad to say it did not come from the Black community, Just like " You Can't Do It In A Small Town", "Facts" is going to blow up. Interestingly, the song coincides with election year, 51 years of Hip-Hop, and the Super Bowl. The question is, How/when will we change the negative narrative Rap has been attributed to us?
Just Wow! This is so true to todays gen! And todays gen are pushing just save that money movement. Blew my mind when I heard about it! This new Gen is trying to bring America back to wholesome working class family values.....Go Tom!
@@dixinormeus Conservatives get like 2 songs a year. That's how stuff like this happens. Non-conservatives spread their music-dollars around over a bunch of artists. Conservatives all rally behind whatever song comes out that preaches their nonsense. Just the cult doing its cult thing. Everyone in unison, everyone thinking this is the best thing ever. Being starved for art that speaks to you must be rough.
Ben Shapiro shocked me at how he just nailed it. It's funny that yes, he can rap if he just talks slower ha ha. I've never even heard of Tom but holy crap....go get it. This was so fun and amazing.
I've been waiting and waiting for you to do this one. I think I've watched the video myself two dozen times and now I've seen probably a dozen reactors and I can't wait to see you! Thanks so much for sharing!
On almost every politically motivated hit, the success will be measured by the pulse of the nation. It's a fact, NWA proved this long ago. Tom/Ben hit a homerun on this one. The message is simple - Any parent will tell you that a crying baby is annoying, but it is tolerated because parents also know that someday the child will grow up and realize crying is not the way to get what you want. If a child is still crying at age 8 and up, the child will be ignored and laughed at. Thus becoming insignificant.
Funniest troll ever. Love the Daily Wire because of exactly this. Ben Shapiro, world's #1 rapper, Matt Walsh, world's #1 children's author. Hehehehe. I'm here for it.
The first draft that B.S. wrote, Tom said it was too much and worked with Ben to tone it down. It did hit billboard number one on two different charts for 14 days. Facts is full of facts.
Whether you love or hate Ben you have to give him credit for even attempting to RAP in such a big way (or for getting a #1 on his first attempt...lol). He did all right and his somewhat stiff delivery is completely on brand for him. The funniest part is they had to slow him down, he usually speaks so much faster than that.
7:40 "I like facts." ... "It's number 3 on Trending." MacDonald pointed out the statistics for this song and showed how YT was suppressing the ranking of the song by citing metrics: comments and views, etc. I love you Brother. I thought you would react a little more enthusiastically like some other reactors; but, I respect your somber take on the video. You do seem like you just woke up and this is before coffee or whatever. But, having said that and knowing your mantra is "Be Kind Humans", I feel you are staying TRUE to your POV! Love and respect. (BTW, I love the song; but, feel that Shapiro is trying to rehabilitate his image. I used to like him before he played the "feelings over facts" card with Kanye when Kanye was pointing out the unfair contracts in the music industry.) I am just an old guy that stopped listening to music decades ago and only started again with Disturbed's Sound of Silence, then OA's Rich Men North Of Richmond, then Ren's catalog of music. I have discovered you and watched you quite often during those travels. Have a Great Day! 🙂❤
I watch the the review of this by the the CartierFamily. They said if this song offends you then you better not listen to gangster rap . Check them out.
Join the team! Facts are what they are. The best thing to do is vote... look at the Facts. It's a "crazy crazy time:. We need to make the best for ourselves. There are really two ways. Death, destruction, evil, violence. defund police, go after innocent people for defending themselves.. etc. The other option: Safety, boarders, protection, religious rights, family, children. These are hard times created by soft people... Its time to mold these men and women from soft time into into hard men and women. Facts....
*conservative fact Much like race, gender is a social construct. That's why italians in America are white, while Italians in Europe are not. It's all made up, mate. No reason to get all caught up in this if you have no skin in the game. Then again, that's what conservatives do.. Rage against anything out of the ordinary. A desire for order makes transgender issues TERRIFYING to the conservative brain. Stop being triggered is all I'd say. It's childish. The world is way grayer than you're comfortable with, just be uncomfortable and move on with your life.
@@JimmyNuisance men and women is directly connected to sex and you cannot change your sex. That’s just your cult ideology saying that. The only one triggered is you about this song saying facts. Go back to learning how math is racist and your zee/zir pronouns fool. Your cult will go down in history as an embarrassment. 😂
At first I though Ben was talking about Nikki Haley (one of the Republican presidential candidates), but given his other references, it makes more sense that it would be Nicki Minaj.
There is nothing political about what he said it's pure facts!! People have forgotten given us between reality and feelings🤮 He's actually number one, but youtube will not allow it because they don't like it. He has more comments and more views than anybody else!!
I'm not a fan of rap, but I know a lot of people do, and that it's part of American culture. What I like is the ability to reach out to more people with a positive, truthful message.
The reason for crime in San Francisco isn’t because the police were defunded. The police are paid more now than they ever have been. Crime has grown in San Francisco because people lost their jobs to the pandemic, were fucking starving, and the city decided to decriminalise petty theft because so many people were relying on it. Have some people taken advantage of that? Yeah, but none of this has anything to do with defunding the police, because it never happened. Nobody who has ever called for defunding the police has ever tried to defund them to less than what they need to operate. Defunding the police is about slashing budgets that are needlessly high. If a police department has enough money to outfit their officers with military equipment, they’ve got too much fucking money. You don’t need that shit to enforce the law. When people talk about defunding the police, they’re talking about moving the surplus budget that allows for such outrageous spending into more useful things like community outreach, improving the services offered to people in high crime areas so there are more alternatives to crime.
In terms of Katt, it wasn’t WHAT he was saying, it was : Was it part of an AGENDA that he was INSTRUCTED to do by the very peeps he’s talking about… Sounds crazy, but some folks think he’s a double agent…me Idk, just what’s being discussed…Don’t kill the messenger 🤣
You don’t speak for me. And you don’t speak for a lot of people. The sooner you and people who share this worldview of yours see that this country was founded to have multiple viewpoints working together and not one party controlling everything like a monarchy, the sooner everything in this country can begin to heal.
