I didn't know rap channels were popular on HN
- dghlsakjg 2y agoI feel like an old man, but what is the joke with Patrick Boyle and rap comments?
- cko 2y agoI think it started with Razzlekhan the Bitcoin launderer.
- seanhunter 2y agoPatrick Boyle has a running joke about how his goal is for his channel to be the number one channel on you tube covering rap and related topics but he sometimes gets distracted by other things. I think it started because of him making fun of people like influencers and their attempts to do things like rap, and rappers who shill crypto schemes. He basically covers what you might call popular finance topics but with an extremely dry sense of humour. You might say he’s a bit like a youtube version of Matt Levine but his jokes are perhaps more deadpan. To get a general idea of his usual schtick a good example is his coverage of neom the line https://youtu.be/Ak4on5uTaTg?si=OL3yP1yd-6nfO4bf https://youtu.be/Ak4on5uTaTg?si=OL3yP1yd-6nfO4bf
- dghlsakjg 2y agoGotcha. I like his coverage, just hadn’t gotten into his fandom enough to get all the rap references
- freefaler 2y agoYeah, as mentioned by him here: https://youtu.be/Ak4on5uTaTg?t=186 https://youtu.be/Ak4on5uTaTg?t=186 "...I don't usually cover topics like that on this channel. As regular viewers know, my videos are mostly about rap and rapping, with my goal being to become the number one crypto-nerd gangster rap channel on YouTube. However, sometimes I do get distracted by other topics. Anyhow, Bloomberg reported this week that Saudi Arabia is scaling back its medium-term ambitions."
