  • In case you weren't aware, Benny boy's got some piping hot takes when it comes to hip hop. Let's just take a gander at a clip from his recent interview with rapper Zuby.

    1) rap has harmonies. It was derived from funk/R&B
    2) rap has melody. That’s why the songs get stuck in your head.
    3) rap has immaculate rhythm which, in hip hop, came from literally scratching a record.
    And yes, Ben, I also went to college for music theory.

      If your comment was only broadcasted for hundreds of millions of people. Lmao....this would be a done debate for good.
      We use melody, a lot differently. Rhythm and harmony is the foreground, not the background element. In Hip-Hop, there are so many subgenres - Jazz, Acid, Country, Alternative, Trap, Gangsta, Pimp, Experimental, Fusion, etc.
      Most rappers can sing up to 3 octaves or more, (like Nicki Minaj does ALL her vocal styles (rapping, singing, chanting, yelling, conversing NOT talking, etc.) in harmony layers all the time from Octave 1 to Octave 5 and a Falsetto voice sometimes).
      They all even sound different and genre bending in the context of Rap and Hip-Hop itself man.

When a Rapper can play the trumpet like Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Louis Armstrong, Ingrid Jenson, or play a piano like Herbie Hancock, then and than I will consider they are creative artists. Learn to play a damm instrument, Rappers are too fuckiig lazy to learn and practice an instrument.

    Coming back to this video again almost two years later has made me realize just how important it was in taking me out of the right-wing echo chamber. Kind’ve embarrassing to say this, but it was so shattering to find out that Benny, someone who I thought was such a genius at the time, was capable of saying such an obviously wrong and stupid thing. From then on, I slowly started to notice more stupid things that he said, and eventually I just stopped watching him and all his lackeys completely. So thank you so much Anthony! You’re UA-cam’s best music channel and honestly would make a great breadtuber. Disliked and unsubscribed.

Buddy Guy is Black; most of the people who made that comment loved Rap. Go figure. For the record, all I said is I prefer 11 other genres before Rap. I have in the past made some hasty decisions. I hated Jeff Beck, yes Jeff Beck and it had nothing to do with guitar playing. I associated him with Rod Steward, whom I CAN NOT stand. There was an interview in Guitar Magazine, where George Lynch my favorite Metal guitarist, said I need in improve my playing to the level of Jeff Beck; that totally change my mind about Jeff Beck.

    Anthony, my dad's an architect and I'm very sad to be the bearer of bad news but your house isn't really a building. You see, houses are made of a roof, walls and a floor. It's painfully obvious in your video that your house only has walls (1 out of the 3 key building elements) so it doesn't qualify as a building. Sorry again but these are cold hard facts.
