Welcome, listener, to the 230th premium chapter of the QAA podcast, the Pilled Music episode.
As always, we are your hosts, Jake Rakitansky, Julian Fields, and Travis View.
Music!
Webster's Dictionary defines it as shit that make your soul fly and your body move.
I highly doubt that that's what Sir Webster had in mind with their definition.
Man, Sir Webster doesn't understand shit about hip-hop.
Sir Webster is just some crusty white boy in an office somewhere.
He probably thinks hip-hop is like the Skibby to the Bibby to the, uh... It's like, for him, it's all freaking children's rhymes.
He thinks Barney the Dinosaur is hip-hop.
But, uh, so Webster, as I was saying, Webster's Dictionary defines music as shit that pop, shit that make your head rock, shit that get the drugs down, shit that make you want to be a clown.
Yeah.
This is, you know, music is designed for doing drugs, showing off, and general debauchery.
And we are painted up.
Travis has, I believe, some ICP makeup.
Jake is wearing mascara.
He looks like he's in The Cure.
And I just have the plumpest, reddest lips.
I'm going for more of like a loungy Jessica Rabbit.
Kind of vibe and I am wearing a dress.
I have to say that this is the first time in a while that I have not wanted to be sober for an episode.
I wish so much that I could be high on a multitude of different drugs to put up with what we are going to refer to gently as Pilled Music and or Red Pilled Music and or QAnon Music and or MAGA Music.
It is really a crop of some of the most rotten Vegetables I've ever seen.
These are rotten tomatoes thrown at their own faces.
Like the music itself is the rotten tomato.
And they are just head-butting rotten tomatoes in every track.
And I love it.
I love it.
A lot of out-of-control white boys.
There was one who got removed, I guess, for being a huge transphobe.
Unfortunately, we still have another huge transphobe in here somewhere.
But it's like, you just can't avoid it.
They're all obsessed with that.
But the guy that got removed that we won't be covering, a hundred percent like his music video was just like hey make me look black so it's all shot in like really kind of it's hard to tell like what color he is just from the lighting and then it's like all red you know lights in some parts but um
Yeah.
I mean, I do find it fucking depressing that, like, hip-hop is now cool and, like, conservatives are doing it and they're like, actually, we were never the rap is crap guys.
We were never like, I listen to all music except for rap kind of guys.
Now they're like, no, actually, we can make this cool and conservative.
Well, the, you know, I think the rise of the SoundCloud rapper, the Limerick rapper, if you will, Which is not to say that they're all bad.
There's some guys that came, you know, out of that era who I think are actually, like, really talented MCs.
Either that or they have really interesting music and they've added elements of, you know, electronic music and house.
They call me MC Pottergold.
into hip hop and rap, but what it also did is it simplified rhyme schemes and lyrics
in a way that I think your average Republican feels like they can, "Hey, maybe I could do
this."
And instead of rapping about the normal things, I'm going to rap.
Well, rap historically was political.
It's now just from somebody whose politics I think suck.
So take that what you will.
I'm starting a new rap group called A Tribe Called Quest Bar.
And it's about working out and being a white boy.
But kind of quirky with it.
And I have biceps to show.
A lot of really bad, I feel like white guys who do conservative hip hop have some of the most fucking cursed beard shapes I've ever seen in my life.
That's a fact.
That's like their main creative output is new disturbing beard shapes.
That's so true.
I do like that, of all people who've been saddled with Finding Us tracks, Travis had to carry the brunt of this, which is so out of character, Travis.
How did you fare out there?
Yeah, I fared okay.
It mostly involved going to Truth Social, Trump's social media platform, or Rumble and searching for music video.
And then I was greeted with a crop of truly cursed music.
Yeah, so let's dive in.
We're going to start with a few hip hop tracks because there's a giant crop of like pro-Trump rap.
Folks, if music is heroin, this is the equivalent of filling your syringe with air and plunging it deep into your vein.
Getting that bubble in there.
Let's go.
It's reaching the heart.
We did a QAnon music episode all the way back.
I mean, it was like within like the first year of us podcasting.
One million years ago, approximately.
It was.
And I remember because one of the reasons I found QAnon disturbing because, you know, creating art and like culture is a way for a community to like congeal and form bonds and form, you know, common points of reference.
And that made me sort of even further convinced that it would be a long lasting thing.
but now it's matured and become more mainstream and like truly bizarre pill
music is now topping the the iTunes charts.
[record scratch]
Well, well, well.
A little interruption here, because what do you know?
As soon as we had recorded this episode, a proper banger has been released onto the red-pilled music scene.
I'm heading now to field reporter and music reviewer Travis View to tell us about a song called Freedom.
Yeah, this is so fucking irritating.
We recorded this episode, and then later that evening, this got dropped.
And of course, I texted the boys with just the word fuck and the link to the song, because we have to, we absolutely have to include this.
So it's a song called Freedom, produced by Jimmy Levy, who is a former American Idol contestant turned pilled musician.
Another guy with absolutely incredible facial hair.
Yeah.
fresh tight fade but it's performed by a large group of people it's like a chorus
of like 20 and it's a who's who of a pilled musician, QAnon promoters and
washed-up reality TV contestants. Yeah. Very fucking strange. Included among the
performers is our own General Michael Flynn. Oh yes.
He has a very heavily autotuned solo.
We're going to get to take a peek at very soon.
So the music video of the song just shows all the performers together in the recording booth.
They're swaying.
It's a gospel song.
It's in the style of We Are The World.
They're all wearing these black shirts with the word freedom in white letters.
And the music video also starts with this message about how the song came together.
And this is, I believe, modeled on Star Wars.
Wait, wait.
So we've got a We Are The World ripoff with allusions to Star Wars content performed by failed reality television stars?
Is that what I'm... Yes.
That's what I'm hearing?
The conservative mind is not a safe neighborhood.
It's just like, you can't be hanging out there for too long or else this kind of stuff is going to happen to you.
You're going to get mugged by a Luke Skywalker who's just a Big, big boy who looks like a Roblox character.
Like it looks like his beard was textured onto a barrel.
Everybody in this looks so fucking cursed.
It's like everyone looks weird in some different way.
It is genuinely a bunch of freaks.
All right.
I haven't seen any of this yet, by the way.
So what?
Yeah.
Oh, I saved it.
I saved it for you, for you all.
So the message in the opening, Jake, would you regale us with it?
Amidst a firmament consumed by the oppressive grip of government overreach and tyrannical control, a man by the name of Jimmy Levy emerged, poised to make a difference.
Fueled by the Holy Spirit, he set out to bring together a group of gifted individuals.
United by a common thread, they poured their souls into recording the timeless and evocative hymn of FREEDOM.
Yeah, I think that he's fueled by a little more than the Holy Spirit.
So here is the opening to this song.
You can take all our money, but you can't have our soul.
You can burn down our buildings, and we'll still find our home.
We will all stick together and we'll never surrender.
We won't give up our freedom.
There were bright lights before it all went.
In a blink of an eye we were all left with scars.
If only.
Who is oppressing these people?
The TV.
Gay.
Is it one gay person who walked by them on the street?
Black people who dare complain about police treatment.
What else?
What else we got?
Anderson Cooper.
I had already mentioned TV.
This also, I can tell you guys, this is like not good autotune.
There are There is plugins that... the Auto-Tune does sound crisp, but this sounds like they kind of did it in like the built-in GarageBand version of Auto-Tune, which is just not as crisp and clean, and it's got really bad kind of artifacting in it.
Oh my god, you have no idea.
Wait until you hear Michael Flynn's passage, brother.
Yeah, it's gonna get worse.
It's gonna get worse.
Brother?
So, yes.
Yeah, I kind of assumed, like, in the age of AI, when they can sort of just manufacture a fake voice, AI, like, autotune would get, like, really, you know, almost difficult to detect.
But you're right, this is very weird and mechanical and robot-y.
The real treat of this song comes when Michael Flynn himself gets his own solo, him surrounded by these These, like I said, these washed out reality TV stars and MAGA musicians.
He belts out a section of the tune, and here's the part where that comes.
From the shores of California, all the way down to the Keys.
Only he will bring us closer when we fall to our knees.
*laughs* Oh.
Oh!
He sounds like Stephen Hawking!
He sounds like fucking Stephen Hawking!
He does, he does.
That's, oh boy.
That's pretty funny.
It is insane.
That's like, I just watched E.T.
last night, and it's like Forgotty O'Blow is Elliot, you know, talking to E.T., and then Michael Flynn is his His tummy glows red and he puts his little finger up and he's
like "Oobadi-Oobadi-Dooo!"
*laughter* It's so funny to see-
He looks so out of place, like deer in headlights, too.
Oh, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's like, what's going on?
He's like, why the fuck did I do this?
This is so weird.
I hate singing.
It's weird.
It's so fucking insane.
Because, like, the U.S.
military, like, they invested just millions into this man.
Training him, educate him over his, like, decades-long career.
They endowed him with incredible responsibility.
in Yellow Fire as a head of the DIA in fucking Afghanistan and shit.
Now, now he finds himself in a studio next to someone who boasts that they are
former pussycat doll singing to the best of his ability, which is not very good.
Of course not.
Wait a minute.
Can we play that again?
Do you, do you mind?
No, no, no.
I really don't.
In fact, I wanted to.
Only he will bring us closer when we fall to our knees.
*laughter* *singing* Only he will bring us closer
I mean, that's a pretty high range.
I mean, Michael Flynn, a tenor?
