"Powerful Canadian/Polish immigrant influencer slams world largest EV maker for creating worlds largest EV pickup truck."

[spanky123]

= some people online made comments.

 

We have hit 'peak woke'.

[dasmo]

I got my own dis track to release…
Yo yo yo listen up
McDonald lifts Shapiro
Like he’s some hero
He says he has all the facts
But his rhyme severely lacks
Number one on the charts
But the track stinks like farts
We are supposed to dig him
As all the puppets push him
Some realms should be sacred
I’m starting to feel hatred
This ain’t collaboration
this is infiltration
(Slash guitar solo)
(Sample plays of Gwen Stefanie’s, “It’s bananas. B A N A N A S bananas!” And slowly disappears with a filter sweep)

Holy smokes, I can't slam that.

^ ^ guy butchers Gwen Stefani’s name spelling.

You are OUT.

[dasmo]

Should have put it in quotes AND made a dis rap on me.

Ben Shapiro, a right-wing political commentator known for his incendiary takes, just made his rap debut with a spitfire song called “Facts.” It soared to the No. 1 spot on the iTunes Store, sitting above recent pop and hip-hop hits from the likes of Megan Thee Stallion, Justin Timberlake and Jack Harlow.

 

The song, a collaboration between Shapiro and Canadian rap artist Tom MacDonald, is packed with lyrics that take aim at critics, the culture wars, the rap genre in general, and calls out rap artists Nicki Minaj and Lizzo.

 

“Let’s look at the stats, I’ve got the facts/ My money like Lizzo, my pockets are fat,” Shapiro raps. Later, he adds, “Nicki, take some notes, I just did this for fun/ All my people download this, let’s get a Billboard number one.”

 

Being No. 1 appears to be a big deal for Shapiro, who founded the Daily Wire in 2015 and currently hosts his own political podcast and radio show. He recently changed his bio on X (formerly Twitter) to read: “WORLD’S #1 Rapper.” He titled one of his recent YouTube podcast videos, “I Am America’s #1 Rapper,” in which he played the entire “Facts” music video while praising the success of his song.

“Facts” only has 1.7 million streams on Spotify. Doesn’t even crack the top 200 for daily streams. Not in the top 100 Apple Music daily streams either. It had me wondering what’s going on…

This article suggests it only takes about 3,000 iTunes downloads to make it to the #1 spot on the iTunes download chart, simply because absolutely nobody purchases and downloads music anymore. The vast majority stream: https://jezebel.com/...mean-1849030690

This source estimates that there were 3,920 downloads of the song in the last 24 hours: http://www.digitalsa...p?Region=143441

At about a $1 per song it doesn’t seem to take much effort to manipulate the iTunes Charts. Seems like astroturfing to me.

[Victoria Watcher]

It's got 11M views on YouTube, but that only makes it Tom MacDonald's 35th highest YouTube total.

Yo yo yo listen up
Here are some facts
that Shapiro lacks
He says he’s real like Right Said Fred
Real is his song ain’t in the top one hundred
Gaming the truth just like the other side
You just another tool of divide
You might be right but you just like the left
It’s obvious you’re also in it for the theft
Truths to tell
Just to sell
The fact is you ain’t no rapper
This track is for the crapper
And Macdonald, what about you?
Turns out you’re also a sellout, who knew.
I miss the Gandhis, the Bruce Lees
and U2 in the 80s
(“Lemon”sample plays to a heavy beat)
You and your clubs are in all our sacred spaces
It’s here I don’t want to see your faces
Schools, sports, movies and music
These places shouldn’t need spiritual antiseptic
The world has sunk to a new low
What’s next? Minaj with Maddow?

I think what really hurt them was their non-appearance at last night's Grammy Awards.

The Grammys have been meaningless since Milli Vanilli won as best new artist in 1990.

Candace Owens has departed.

It was only a matter of time until some of the gang broke up.

Not surprised she is first to go.

A bit surprised they all stuck together this long.

[max.bravo]

Crazy. Where is she going?
