When Ben Shapiro (or anyone else) argues that rap and hip hop aren't technically considered music, they're flying in the face of basically all established scholarship on the topic. And it's not like we're just making this stuff up, either: We have good reasons for interpreting music (and specifically hip hop) the way we do. They're not even complicated reasons, which makes it mystifying to me that Shapiro's been repeating this same argument for at least a decade, but still, someone's gotta explain why he's wrong and I guess that someone is me. <a href='https://www.patreon.com/12tonevideos' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Patreon</a> Merch: standard.tv/12tone <a href='https://discord.gg/yTGvQ4P' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Discord</a> Mailing <a href='http://eepurl.com/bCTDaj' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>List</a> <a href='https://www.facebook.com/12tonevideos' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Facebook</a> <a href='https://twitter.com/12tonevideos' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Twitter</a> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/12tonevideos/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Instagram</a> Email: 12tonevideos@gmail.com <a href='https://youtu.be/xCL_b48-H7Q' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Last</a> My first rap <a href='https://youtu.be/cvmm0f92L-k' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>video</a> 7 Levels of Jazz <a href='https://youtu.be/lz3WR-F_pnM' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Harmony</a> Defining Music <a href='https://youtu.be/l7xIS_Gobcc' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>video</a> Script (With <a href='https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bnVj1PBkdhC4RKjgmrR7g5zG7-6Jm3hUF13evznt_zk/edit?usp=sharing' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>sources)</a> Huge thanks to our Elephant of the Month Club members: Susan Jones Jill Jones Ron Jones Howard Levine Duck Brian Etheredge Gabi Ghita Elaine Pratt Ken Arnold Khristofor Saraga Len Lanphar Paul Ward Benjamin DeLillo Mitchell Fund Susan Lingenfelter William (Bill) Boston Owen Campbell-Moore Anton Smyk Chris Prentice Jack Carlson Dov Zazkis James Treacy Bagshaw Christopher Lucas Hendrik Payer Andrew Beals Thomas Morley Jacob Helwig Duncan Dempsey Patrick James Morley Tyler Leite Paul Grieselhuber Thomas Linevitch Cattus_ex_Machina David Rapoport Braum Meakes Derek Parnell And thanks as well to Corvi, Henry Reich, Gene Lushtak, Eugene Bulkin, Logan Jones, Abram Thiessen, Anna Work, Oliver, Jc Bq, Adam Neely, nico, Michael Fieseler, Rick Lees, Ben LaRose, Justin Donnell, Dave Mayer, Thomás, rhandhom1, Davis Sprague, Paul Quine, Alex, Harold Gonzales, CodenaCrow, Nikolay Semyonov, Arnas, Sarah Spath, Skylar J Eckdahl, Marc Himmelberger, Chris Borland, Caroline Simpson, Daniel Gilchrist, billy roberts, Elliot Burke, Alex Atanasyan, Alex Knauth, Michael Alan Dorman, Greg Borenstein, Tim S., David Tocknell, Elias Simon, Nathan Petchell, Blake Boyd, Trevor, Michael McCormick, Lilith Dawn, Jonathan Beck, Dmitry Jemerov, Ian Seymour, Charles Gaskell, Luke Rihn, Rob Holton, Jerry D.
