LET'S SEE WHAT ALL THE HYPE'S ABOUT! First Time Hearing Tom MacDonald & Ben Shapiro - Facts Reaction

[@Davtheimpaler]

Nicki actually tweeted that she thought Ben did a good job. Also, Ben is a concert level violinist so he knows music.

[@ffjsb]

Since like the age of thirteen...

[@gutstompenrocker]

He figured he would get to #1 faster rapping than on the violin.

[@aymee7136]

And Nikki is still catching hell for congratulating him.

[@jasondamrau9943]

Have to actually give props to Nicki

"Facts don't care about your feelings" is Ben's slogan, he says it all the time.

The Beninem hoodie should be a #1 seller too.

[@mikesierra5661]

Tom used that line in his "fake woke" song.

@@JamesAllen-xk8bc On youtube search for a video on Ben Shapiro's channel called "Ben Interviews VIRAL Anti-Woke Rapper | @TomMacDonaldOfficial" In the last 2 minutes of that video this song was born. Also he wrote his lines and the original were more vicious and Tom had him tone it down, he talks about it in a recent video where he is watching people react to the song.

[@IIChristisKingII]

Ben wrote the lyrics for his part, apparently he went to hard to start with and Tom had to reign him in a little.

[@tiffymcconkey]

This song hit #1 in 5 hours after they released it

[@blakemeads9225]

Mainly because Ben Shapiro’s audience mass bought it to drum up the numbers. It went down in the charts shortly after. A similar thing happened with Aaron Lewis a few years ago.

[@JonathanBoden-u5p]

Hang Over Gang in the house! Loved this one! One of the greatest trolls ever!! You wanna know what just made this legendary!? Jordan Peterson just did a psychological 50+ minute breakdown of this song!! I have seen thousands of reactions! Nothing has ever been done ( I think ) to any song, where the song has been taken to this point in depth of thought processes in both psychologically and spiritually ! Unreal!!!

[@robertmillar8246]

It was great, when JP gets involved it's only because he is gaging what is happening in society as a whole. To choose this song to react to means that he has noticed something that has an impact in its messaging. Besides that Ben has a stake in JP's life and returning a favor in respect towards Ben I'm sure was appreciated. He also knows Tom as a great ex Canadian and respects the path that Tom has taken.

[@fookorf]

Did JP stop every 5 mins to have a blubbering hissy fit and to wipe his tears... You people are fcuking nutcases.

[@gregory6592]

Fantastic reaction, nobody saw this coming. A lawyer, conservative political commentator, classically trained violinist Ben Shapiro teaming up with a face tattooed, former Canadian professional wrestler, counter culture Rapper Tom MacDonald. Only Tom could get Ben on a Rap video and make it work. #1 on World Wide iTunes charts for a couple of days, #1 on American iTunes for over a week. #HOG UK

[@fookorf]

i think you need to lay off the paint thinners. Tom Crapdonald holds the exact same braindead ideology as most of the US republican movement and a large swathe of conservative movements across the rest of the world.. How the fcuk is that counter culture.. He's every bit for the status quo and his whining, juvenile lyrics confirm this. For someone who claims everyone is offended he doesn't half piss and moan and play the victim.

Fantastic reaction! Loved the discussion. ❤ Ben wrote his own bars based off of previous tweets of his. However he said he was too vicious in his original version and worked with Tom to tune it down for the final release of the song. Ben is sitting there talking, but he's on beat and he sounds better than a lot of modern day rappers. It's hilarious! Two of the most hated men on the internet team up to troll EVERYBODY!
