00:00:00.000I feel as though rap as a form of music, take the lyrics aside, the substance aside, the music itself, maybe not inherently evil, I don't know if I would do it quite as far, but the music itself is, to say that here's Mozart, or Handel's Messiah, and here's rap, but the lyrics are Christian now, I changed the lyrics.
00:00:23.920It's not about the lyrics, it's about the music itself.
00:00:25.640So, okay. Let me just explain what is going on here. So in the spectrum between African drumming and pure melodious Wagnerian endless melody, it's a spectrum and rap is like right here.
00:00:49.720basically there is what we there's a spectrum between rhythm and melody let's say and
00:00:56.640over here you have what we would i think correctly call primitive music where it is pure rhythm and
00:01:06.760there isn't even really a tone now there is often some sort of tone but it's just beating and maybe
00:01:12.760like so there's some melody of some sort but even the melody is just a rhythm that's over here on
00:01:22.900this side of the spectrum and then you have like tristan unto zolda where rhythm in a way has been
00:01:31.460overcome and it is just unending melody there is rhythm in there but you don't certainly don't
00:01:39.560hear it. And, you know, it's like climbing and moving, but it never reaches a culmination.
00:01:52.020And maybe right in here in the middle, you have like rock and roll or Giuseppe Verdi or something
00:01:57.660where there is a tremendous amount of rhythm, but there's also just beautiful melody or rock,
00:02:05.500like catchy melody or you know energetic melody and and it's sort of combined into something
00:02:12.660rap is again closer to Africans beating on drums because they have there is no melody in effect
00:02:21.380there might be something like a little hitch a little um what is it uh what do they call it a
00:02:27.300clip or a uh whatever there's some word for it uh but it's like a hook yes there's some hook
00:02:36.320right so it's like burning and burning and it's like
00:02:43.060it's just it's just rhythm now is there something interesting about rap of the rhymes and speaking
00:02:54.800that fast or that lazily in some cases perhaps but that's what's going on it's not even necessarily0.97
00:03:03.940more degenerate you know it's like Africans are over here Italians are right in the middle0.95
00:03:10.620and then Germans are over here from like rhythm to autism or melody and and that's why Verity is0.99
00:03:21.120so great because there's a little bit of that african dance music and verity there's a lot of
00:03:28.960dance literally dance music and verity if verity were a composer today he might integrate like
00:03:35.040techno rhythm and beats into his music dramas there's no doubt about it he would if he were
00:03:40.660alive today so it's like verity is in touch with a little bit of the primitive the rhythm that
00:03:48.100makes you move but he's also very much in touch with melody unquestionably he has beautiful
00:03:53.660melodies and even later in his career with like otello and you know except there's a little bit
00:03:58.680of wagner going on with some of these melodies that he's pursuing and love themes so that's
00:04:07.060what's happening i don't know what to tell you it's not like it's degenerate any more degenerate
00:04:13.760like I could even I mean Nietzsche's criticism of Wagner is that he's degenerate in effect decadent
00:04:20.280and he's right but it's not like some scheme to make us more sexual or something there's always
00:04:29.600something sexual and rhythmic and in music and Wagner in some moods not in Tristan but in some
00:04:37.140moods actually captures of that he is the man he captures that I should say he is the man that wrote
00:04:42.880the ride of the valkyries after all which is very rhythmic and infectious the the mozart's music
00:04:51.820was shaped around the mass it was shaped around the christian theology and the worship of god
00:04:55.560no it was not it was not that's just absurd um the the thing that shaped
00:05:06.700what we call classical music of the 18th or early to mid 19th century is sonata form
00:05:15.280and it's you introduce you know a a theme
00:05:21.860uh like and then you'll introduce a secondary theme often in a different key and then you'll
00:05:31.140develop on these themes and then it all comes back with both themes played in the same um uh key
00:05:39.940that's sonata form uh there are basically aria forms that are very often aab
00:05:51.420they don't take the form of rock music which is verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus usually
00:06:01.140um that's an interesting form they they'll they'll often have a long melodic line another
00:06:07.240long melodic line they might go somewhere uh the next time uh you know verity wrote at least
00:06:14.520through his middle period with you know aria cabaletta so you have a slow sort of thoughtful
00:06:19.400beautifully melodic number and then the cabaletta where it's fast and you know
00:06:26.660like all and you sing a high note at the end and everyone's jumping to their feet to applaud
00:06:33.780so on um music is conventional and it's based on these conventions it's not based on the mass
00:06:42.300vog i mean not wagner mozart was bringing like advanced music to sacred music but i actually
00:06:52.380looked it up through evil ai and learned that nine to ten percent of mozart's music were um
00:07:01.180liturgical in nature so this notion that it's coming from the church is just wrong now you
00:07:09.120could make that argument with bach but they don't make that argument so i'm not going to try to help
00:07:14.940out their bad argument but mozart was traveling around europe he spent three-fourths of his life
00:07:22.260moving, and he was traveling around Europe playing for various sovereigns. He was remarkably secular.
00:07:30.940He wrote an opera about Don Giovanni. He wrote an opera about Kozifa and Tutte. All women are like
00:07:37.040that. He also wrote an amazing mass. He was also, by the way, Calvin, my, you know, Catholic-based
00:07:50.140catholic guy with an afro he also was a freemason by the way and he literally wrote an opera about
00:07:57.820freemasonry which is called the magic flute pro freemasonry by the way it wasn't a based
00:08:06.600alex jones opera in which the people triumph over the evils of freemasonry it was about
00:08:13.100the wonders of freemasonry so maybe you guys don't know anything about music i don't know
00:08:20.680kind of sounds like it you're choosing quite possibly the worst example imaginable to make
00:08:31.740your point rap music was centered around rebellion against society and it was sexuality violence but
00:08:38.800it's deeper than just the words or the beats it's the frequencies okay this is where he loses me
00:08:44.500now you could definitely say that rock music because of the rhythm the drums that it was
00:08:51.340about sexuality and sexuality can be rebellious or destabilizing i would agree totally with that
00:08:58.600i mean we now listen to elvis and it's like quaint or wholesome and i like elvis but it that was
00:09:06.060radical in the 50s like him shaking his hips the cbs news would only or cbs would only like
00:09:12.140broadcast him above the waist because he was just making people feel
00:09:17.200a little too excited down there with those hips shaking of elvis
00:09:22.620um it's sexual precisely because it's more rhythmic and again this goes back to the scale
00:09:29.100of like rhythm to melody where do you fall on the scale rock is closer to the primitive drumming that
00:09:35.900is all about the heartbeat raising the heartbeat by drumming making you move through the rhythm
00:09:41.180rock is more like that so it's more sexual and that's rebellious but now he goes into frequency
00:09:47.620in 1939 there he is um the rothshaws and the rockefellas came together got some scientists
00:09:53.220and some musicians together and said let's shift the frequency of a from was it 440 hertz to 453
00:09:58.240hertz look it up and essentially they want the masses to be enraged to be ready for war they
00:10:03.820don't want the masses to be peaceful and seeking god that's so good i that's so what you're telling
00:10:10.920me is it's not just the lyrics but rap the music itself is jewish yes i love it i feel okay i mean
00:10:18.560look i'm sure that there are jewish producers of rap that have been indispensable in promoting rap
00:10:26.820but like i don't know buddy like rap is kind of black i mean i don't know call me crazy here but
00:10:34.200it seems like rap is black actually i i don't know i know nothing about rap perhaps i need to learn
00:10:42.420more about the history of rap but kind of seems black that's my impression as an outsider that
00:10:48.940black people listen to rap music and perform rap music i don't it's about the african-american0.98
00:10:55.220experience i don't know i mean call me naive but i think we might want to blame rap on the blacks0.99
00:11:02.580if you don't like it i mean give me a fucking break i and look i get it there what they're0.95
00:11:09.320probably saying is like producers are doing this and i get that actually but let's also not like0.98
00:11:16.400pretend that black people are innocent here if rap is the enemy like let's not pretend that they
00:11:24.620didn't do it and that it doesn't appeal to them and that it doesn't express some inner nature0.94
00:11:31.860of the black through rap music i mean come on now the a440 thing so i actually had learned about
00:11:41.300this but i i reminded myself about this so okay a440 you always know so whenever you go to a
00:11:49.440symphony concert or an opera or musical or whatever you know they tune on a like
00:11:55.960and then everyone starts tuning and then you're on one tonic note it's a it's 440 400 hertz 440
00:12:04.800hertz that is 400 vibrations per minute so if you had a string just to imagine you pluck the string
00:12:12.560and it's vibrating at 440 per minute it's a convention it's basically a way of maintaining
00:12:22.000uniformity internationally so that i mean it would be different like if you're tuning at a 440
00:12:30.620the high c and d quell apira is can be performed by certain tenors now if you're tuning at a 480
00:12:40.460it's a higher pitch you just you literally can't sing that high and so you want to kind of
00:12:47.480maintain uniformity now what i've also heard and someone's done research on this where they found
00:12:53.180a tuning fork for a in like a harpsichord maker who made harpsichords for mozart or something and
00:13:01.020it was like 420 or 430 so 432 okay there it is so it was slightly different now this does this
00:13:10.700matter yes it's different i i get it but all keys are relative and all tones are either flat or sharp
00:13:22.920relative to the tonic so like it just doesn't matter you know maybe a 440 is a good one but
00:13:32.460maybe it's just sort of arbitrary it would be like it would be like saying um like how much
00:13:40.280water is in this is it eight ounces or is it a cup it's like it's the same thing you're just
00:13:46.620using different words or maybe that's not the best analogy but it's just it's all relative so
00:13:52.800a key like the the 12 tone scale is based on that a and we've you can't even in a piano like you see
00:14:02.380the white keys and the black keys it's not even like perfect intervals we've sort of like fudged
00:14:08.960it slightly to get that well-tempered clavier where you can play all the notes
00:14:13.400but it just it does not matter like mary had a little lamb sounds the same if you're singing
00:14:23.440in the key of d or the key of e or the key of f it's the same melody i don't know i i presume
00:14:30.040people who understand music theory totally get what i'm saying i'm trying to explain it on some
00:14:35.540elemental level just in case you don't know music you know it's mary had a little lamb mary
00:14:43.260had a little m mary had a little m mary had a little m they all sound the same it's the same
00:14:49.640tune because the ratio between the intervals is the same it doesn't matter where you start1.00
00:14:54.880or where you're going to end on the tonic so this is bullshit this is ridiculous bullshit0.99
00:15:04.340and the the tone a 440 only matters to the extent that the human voice is involved in production0.99
00:15:13.800so and of course strings as well and the brass like there's you can only go so high in a violin
00:15:21.560the human being can only sing so high so you have to have a sort of standardization of the note of
00:15:30.800the central note so that we're sort of all on the same playing field,
00:15:35.560so to speak, you know, it's like saying, look,
00:15:38.020doesn't matter if the football field is 99 yards or 101 yards,
