Conservative pundit Ben Shapiro, known for his outspoken views against hip-hop, has once again stirred the pot with his recent foray into the music scene. Despite his general dismissal of hip-hop as not being real music, Shapiro seems to have found a peculiar appreciation for a niche within the genre – white conservative rappers like Forgiato Blow, Tom Macdonald, and Vanilla Ice (at least in recent times).

The rise of MAGA rap, a phenomenon that gained traction during the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, has seen artists like Tom Macdonald gaining popularity among Trump supporters. Shapiro, not one to be left out, made a surprising appearance on Macdonald’s latest track “Facts,” contributing more than just a brief interlude.
Critics, however, are not holding back in their assessment of Shapiro’s rap skills. Described as atrocious, Shapiro’s verse is likened to an AI-generated version of himself, complete with a cadence that draws comparisons to the style of Epic Rap Battles Of History. What stands out the most is Shapiro’s decision to include a diss aimed at none other than Nicki Minaj, adding an interesting twist to the ongoing tensions between the two. While their past clashes make the diss less surprising, many are labeling it as one of the worst verses ever recorded.
