My post referenced him falling back on his dad studying music as the undeniable "proof" supporting his anti-rap stance but I can't find it so that might've been a fake thing I'm remembering, idk.

I don’t know who you’re talking about for sure but from Lucem I guess Ben Shapiro kek. Maybe I should actually read the thread.
As distant as they may seem I don’t think you can fully appreciate Beethoven without a mind that can also appreciate hip hop. Music is sound expressed as art. That’s it. Beethoven pushed boundaries in very similar ways. Even professional musicologists fail to understand how radical he was the same way they think Hendrix was losing the plot when death was creeping on and he would just let the feedback go and go. They say Beethoven couldn’t conduct because he was deaf. Bull****. He was pushing the boundaries of traditional tonality and Bartok knew that and that’s why Bartok’s string quartets are a natural extension of Beethoven’s. But if you’re not open to the angry radicalism of hip hop then you’re lost when you listen to Beethoven as well. I don’t give a **** you’re conducting the New York Philharmonic if you don’t get this you need to go get a late pass. Understanding the connectivity is using your ears like a champ and not a chump.
