Mods, can I ask you to edit the title
of that speech out of my earlier post?
As for the video being on YouTube, TorahAnytime is an independent
website, not a YouTube account. I had assumed the account with the speech belonged to TorahAnytime, but it seems likely that it is not. The point still stands, because the account is mostly a repository for Torah lectures – the speech wasn’t put up in a negative context.

I think I’m looking for a different shiur where R’ Wallerstein does this all-out “rap”
(I wondered, seeing as this imitation was just a second or two long.)
If you do come across the one you were looking for originally,
please let me know – I’m curious.
I do know with certainty that the stuff that blasts out of cars driving down my street from time to time cannot be compared even to old rock music.
That being what forms many people’s impression of non-Jewish music
is really annoying. The music listened to by people who listen to music
at a volume that probably damages their hearing over time, and who
are rude enough to blast their music like that, is obviously not going
to be the most tasteful stuff around (although popular music taste
in general is pretty bad – a really good piece of music hitting #1 on
the standard charts would almost be a surprise at this point).
But, given that there are strong grounds on which to argue that
we shouldn’t be listening to non-Jewish music, it’s hard to really
consider it a bad thing…

I once heard that you can determine a song’s
status by how one shakes to the beat.
Can uniform response to rhythm in humans be assumed?
(Won’t some of us respond differently than others?)
FYI Bas Kol is not Rap, its more a pop music
Was there a post about this “Bas Kol” that was deleted?
