He \u200ccriticizes the current state of hip-hop, where destructive material \u200bseems\u200d to \u2062receive the most \u200cmainstream \u2063attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">MacDonald\u2062 emphasizes that hip-hop\u2063 often promotes violence and romanticizes mental \u200dhealth issues and recreational\u2063 drug \u2063use.

Additionally, YouTube is allegedly suppressing the song by keeping it in the second slot on the trending songs list, despite it receiving \u2062more \u2062views and comments than Megan \u200cThee Stallion&#8217;s &#8220;Hiss.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">MacDonald firmly states that the music industry does not want\u200b his song to reach number \u200cone, especially with Ben Shapiro, a vocal critic of the genre, involved. \u2063Shapiro jokingly acknowledges the irony\u200d of being\u200c part of a\u200b rap song that tops the iTunes charts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Related: \u200b <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/tom-macdonald-says-big-tech-suppressing-new-rap-with-ben-shapiro-the-industry-wants-you-to-listen-to-manufactured-bulls\"><b>Tom MacDonald \u2064Says Big Tech Suppressing New Rap With Ben Shapiro: &#8216;The Industry \u200bWants You To Listen To\u200d Manufactured\u2062 Bulls***&#8217;<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What\u2064 does the success of &#8220;Facts&#8221; among MacDonald&#8217;s fan \u2063base and those seeking alternative content \u200din rap music reveal about the power and influence of independent artists in challenging the norms\u2062 of the music industry<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Manticizes criminal behavior, sending a dangerous\u200b message to its listeners.
