Shapiro revealed that his foray into rap was a natural progression in his career, given his longstanding love for the genre. He eagerly accepted MacDonald’s invitation to collaborate on “Facts,” recognizing it as the culmination of his 20 years of classical violin training. Shapiro playfully remarked, “For those who don’t appreciate my artistic stylings, all I can say is that they didn’t appreciate Bach properly in his own time, either.”
MacDonald, thrilled to have Shapiro on board, remarked, “I like to do things nobody else can do. Not everybody can get Ben Shapiro on a track. For someone who had never recorded a rap song before, he got in the studio and nailed it. We’ve both criticized the status quo of hip-hop, so it made sense. There is a good intention at the heart of ‘Facts.’ There is light.”
The collaboration between Shapiro and MacDonald surprised many, especially after Shapiro’s recent interview where he questioned whether rap could be considered music. However, this unexpected partnership has proven that their shared vision and talent transcend any preconceived notions.
