I'm a 290 year old stupid mother fucker lmfao and Tom has some good raps I have 0 things against him. Honestly i have no idea who he is on a personal level for all i know he isn't even a real person maybe he's a straight ai bot maybe he is human and awesome but i agree he has talent but playing it safe saying the same shit over and over i like some and others literally sounds exactly the same. Good on him for making massive money of the same old shit over and over sometimes you get lucky and ride it out but the day will soon come he will change or retire. But rap battling isn't his thing that's why he's avoiding Upchurch and no i don't care but it's obviously the reality of this game. I'm not arguing or trying to start shit it's my opinion nothing more nothing less. Have a beautiful day folks
I am a #HOG fan all the way, but I have never seen one of your reactions before. You are spitting facts as much as Tom is. I have singers/groups that I LOVE, but I don't love every song they have done. I agree 100% he is not the first political rapper but he did blow it up. I agree with all of your overall perspectives, white rappers, it usually comes down to Eminem and Tom, my first love was the Beastie Boys. It is amazing to me how many reactors didn't know they even existed. I have subscribed to your channel because of the truth and honest reaction! Hope you reach your goals. ❤
The reason why so many of Tom's fans tell their age, race, and culture, in the comments is because they want to demonstrate how much of a multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-national, and multi-generational fan base Tom has grown. It's not a "running joke". It's the testimonies of his fans that the unity Tom calls for is happening, and is being made evident by the mass-appeal he's been able to generate. They love it whether Tom raps or when he sings in other genres, because it's his messages that they love along with his multi-faceted musical artistry. He didn't rise from poverty to accumulating multi-millions of dollars by staying in "one lane" and appealing to a limited range of demographics.
Yea it makes sense. It picked up on that after a few video some years ago. Then I started seeing it get out of hand how the age kept going up and up and up. Then I jumped in a started teasing them. Now it's just some fun doing it. But to your point. Yea I noticed he just has a diverse group of fans.
If you think most of Tom's songs are political, you haven't bought one of his CDs. You only see what is posted with videos, but there are so many songs on his CD's that have nothing to do with politics.
The on the phone with Sony was supposed to, I believe, sound like Charlie Brown on purpose. You know adults talking, kids not paying attention. Him not paying attention to labels.😉Also, when his eyes glowed bright on the Disney line, it was referencing the Cheshire Cat ftom Alice in Wonderland. Tom and Nova are just so creative❤️
Like it or not Tom is the biggest independent rapper out there. Others use distribution companies or marketing companies and are not really independent.
actually it wasn’t a trailer when he did the motorcycle part he almost got arrested but then the cop took part n led in front of tom to keep the street clear
Ohhhhhhhhhh ok. I knew it was something in front of him. But that's great that the police helped him out that's awesome! And glad he didn't go to jail.
When he says nobody’s bigger than I am, he’s not talking about Em or any label artist. He’s talking directly to Ryan Upchurch who say’s Tom’s an industry plant & Upchurch thinks he’s bigger than Tom. But…he’s not.
Once again in a big fan😁 of Tom. But everyone had their opinion of who the GOAT is.. but in his music genre yes he's the Goat. But overall GOAT of ALL RAP not for me in that regard. And yes a very genuine person. I've always lied his personality.
I love Tom but I absolutely love this pep talk you have for Tom. I’ve been waiting for THE REAL TOM to show up for years! I know he has what it takes to force the pain out and write some epic tracks! I mean Tom has the beats down pack! Nothing can stop greatness and I have faith that Tom is gonna even grow bigger than what he has already shown us!!! Rock on Tom! ✌️❤️🤘
I'm saying. This man has Supreme talent. He just needs to let it out!! This Tom I like. And it's ok to make joking songs. Political songs with some humor. But THIS!!! THIS IS THE TOM I BEEN WAITING ON! just let loose and let the pain out quit playing it safe. Your fans are your fans we'll be here for the whole ride!!
I disagree..respectfully-- you stop to talk about your opinion , way too much before the actually line or concept ends..and the message is delivered..Knox Hill is the man breaking down bars, flow switches etc..not saying it's terrible..just dam , man let the man speak and know your stuff- Mac lethal example..& I like how he attacks his political thoughts..listen to his live streams sometime..
Once again, OPINION and no Knox is not. We all do it differently . You hear a few Tom political songs you heard them all nothing new ans I even said that. It's all the same talking points.
Tom won't do a callab anymore, he made it clear. He can do it on his own without being with someone signed. This song was 🔥 He addressed all his haters without naming names. #Hogfamily #GodMode
Tom you did that! I’m so proud of you. Stay mad! You rapped from your heart and soul. I love when Tom sits back and listen to everyone’s comments. When Tom digs deep he pulls out his HITS! Go TOM!!! This is authentic! Best song I’ve heard from TOM . Keep reaching past the stars. No beef nothing political. Just Tom being him True self! LOVE THIS!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏽😊🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️BARZZZZZ. Babe blow this song up for TOM ON THIS ONE!👈🏾 TOM IS BACK! This one is untouchable .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🗣️🗣️🗣️📢🔇. He gained back the RESPECT!
Great reaction Face! This is an Epic track (bars, beats, orchestra etc.) and the video is straight🔥. A great "no response", response. Also, I can only imagine how long this could've been? The length was probably cut down at least by half #HangOverGang
Love your reaction. Not only do you describe the meaning of the song, you break down and describe the rapping techniques, and give educated opinions. Def a subscriber
Yes he can collab but the artist you mentioned are all Elite rappers. Tom McDonald isn't messing with illuminati. Only independent like him. He doesn't want that P Diddy life.😅
4:53 He has put out a ton of music that isn't political granted majority of it is on his physical CD's, but thats what I don't understand when people say all he does is political music...No he does a completely mixed bag of music.
because his politcal talking points are exactly all the same.. just packaged differently. You stans cant criticize him fairly at all. He literally claimed he invented political rap 🤣 no he didnt. Hez the one that jacked the style. And thats why people hate him. He is the most dis honest piece of shit ever 🤣
@@benegesserit9838 no they're not, I have them all ripped and downloaded to my phone as mp3s just like the rest of my music. Their only useless to those who can't be bothered.
NWA and Public Enemy did political songs on occasion, but I don't label them as political rappers. Not saying Tom started it, just saying. Great reaction! Did hear "Ghost " in Texas on a radio station #HOG
Yea that's true , I wouldn't call them pure political they did more social topics for black community. Not truly political...Tom has a strangle hold on it..and is the GOAT at it. I'll always give him that .. You know what. I'll say this there are rappers who dabbled in it. But Tom took it to another atmosphere and this is something he started with PURE POLITICAL. Nothing wrong with it. As far as radio. To your point I couldn't say he isn't on radio. I guess I would have to be looking for it to know it. What I don't like is how because he's different he doesn't get the push that we feel he deserves. Outside of himself doing the work.
Glad to see you doing this one. Always appreciate your breakdowns and are one of the 2 I actually look for outside of what the YT algorithm spits out. I just wish you had the time to put out MORE. Haha.
Yea im developing a plan as we speak on that. And figuring out a schedule. Got to stay consistent. And just put out whatever songs pop into my head and new releases. Thanks for checking for me😎 appreciate all the support!
'God Mode' indeed. 🤯🤯 Tom got a lot off his chest with this one. He was responding to EVERYBODY! He took in all the negative comments and hate over several months and let it simmer awhile until he gave us this 💎! The production is impressive, the bars are outstanding, the flow switches are amazing, the song is incredible and the video is out of this world. Tom's had several of his songs on the radio. I know that Ghost, Bad News, and Facts were all played recently here in Texas. Heard Ghost played in Walmart a little while ago. 😉 ✝😇 #HangOverGang #NovaRockafeller
Tom is great I'll give him that always. Can't give him all around GOAT though (for me...you yes me not so much). Great artist none the less. But I won't debate anyone who says he is for them. I respect everyone's opinion on how they feel about their favorite artist
I'm pretty sure when he said he was the only political rapper he was specifically talking amongst "Independent" rappers. He's not conceited enough to believe he's the only one ever. Emenim used to be political and he is Tom's favorite. He just didn't stay "in that lane" as you say.
@@FaceFamous they have it on 107.9 which his a hip-hop/rap channel . 96.5 which is KISS fm and then 88.1 which is ran by the Akron University. They don't really play his political music all that much . I've heard "America" . A lot of the brave 2 songs and then "ghost" a lot .
Tom’s last few songs this, stronger version not political. Superman not political. Crome not political the Race War ( political) Black and White not political. I think folks just remembered his political music because they hate politics.
I agree about his political songs. I will watch them when they first come out. But I don't rewatch them. Now his other songs I can listen to over and over and over....Like Bad News, No Good Bastards. I am like you not very political. Great reaction:) Just subscribed:)
Thank you welcome aboard! 🙏🏾. Oh definitely his other songs that I've done were great. I'll listen to his political once or sometime I just skip it all together. The man has great talent though
Think what people need to remember is a lot of times a particular song stating [position etc] will be the first time an individual might hear the artist. Thus, the 'political' influence or whatever may not be will mean nothing to the new listener. It is their introduction to the artist. Old to those like yourself who spend time breaking down etc things getting tired of? Yup. If he didn't restate what's important to him, new listener would have no clue. Just an idea.
I've also reacted to the Brave 2 album. I've reacted to plenty of his soulful songs. Mental illness songs. Fun songs political songs. See yall don't be listening at all. I know the catalog. And I didn't say the songs are are political. 🙄
I agree that political rap has always been around, your missing something tho. How many rappers were rapping about right wing ideas? Also I love your ideas man keep it going!
The impression I have got from Tom watching his live streams, etc. He had said that he had kind of isolated himself from mainstream artists. Both because of his attacks on the industry and the political views he expresses in his music. He sees himself as a liability to mainstream artists. Also he has made a lot of career attacking mainstream. What would that say if he suddenly jumped ship on that particular foundational principle.(This last part was simply my through process if he did go mainstream) I mean he did somewhat do that when he had John Rich as a feature. However John Rich left mainstream awhile back and he isn't hip hop.
Would love to see your thoughts on Boom Bap 101, Toms early showcasing of his lyrical ability. I don’t think he’ll ever be included w industry signed rappers since they Constantly tell him he’ll never be included. After the church thing If be careful who I jump on a track with. He’s built his own lane. I’m not sure many owned artists could work w him wo regretting their own choices. Truthfully, Hes done too much truth telling to ever work w any of them. But he doesn’t want to.
I think when it come to tom McDonald he saed want make music to help build poeple up why he rap about some them overs. When it rap with over rapper i think it be hard because what he know for so and have hate like he will do lot make him look bad but lot time he just care about poeple. I had have seen the hater he got lot time don't have leg stand on just because all think bad tom McDonald just because what he is in a hole. My love the family flex and the 11 inches line just because you know he piss off lot poeple with them he have changed lot more what poeple may think and all so blew up about two or more time. I do hope you get you'r goals face famous #hog UK
Question - all the big artists you named are signed. Do you think that any label would let their artist collaborate with him? Also, if he did something with a label artist, wouldn’t he consider that a betrayal of his own values?
The phone comment was interesting. As you pointed out that part in which he sounded like a typical Canadian, "wom wom wom", the way you said it reminded me of how characters in old cartoons like The Simpsons would sometimes have other characters sounding just like that when speaking on phones, "wom wom wom", it was babble when heard. It just so happens, where you point this out, he "is getting off the phone with presidents", so they can sound like babble to him "wom wom wom" on the phone too. Nice lol Also, again with the comment on his stuff getting old. Totally agree, and I am still a fan. I disagree in that it "isn't necessary". It's cool you were a Psychologist, so maybe you'll be familiar with this idea. People's systems/structures can't be uprooted willy nilly, they must be replaced by an alternative system/structure, or else the person plunges into chaos, or they just won't pay attention to the other system/structure, or they will antagonize the other system/structure. For instance, you can't just get rid of holidays, you would have to replace holidays with alternative holidays. You can't just tell a patient in a psychological session what the answer is even though you know it, you have to walk them through to the solution until they grasp it themselves, hopefully. In the same fashion, we can say the current cultural system is one in which people have shorter-attention spans, read less, and require something to constantly pay attention to. This is evident in Tik-Tok, UA-cam, and POP music. To get in the lane of the listener, he has to CONSTANTLY do something similar but slightly different, so his sounding repetitive is something like he has achieved a POP status of some kind. Even in this song alone, there are constant flow switches, different cinematic themes, and a story being told all at once, which is what people crave, and stacks/stiches different elements of POP together. He has to slowly bring us all along for the ride, and out of the pop mentality. This is also evident in the longer songs. It's like using Pop against itself, or rather, stacking pop on top of another pop. Dang, it's anti Tik-Tok and Sin. This is a virtuous psy-ops.
GREAT COMMENT 👍🏻. yea it caught my attention how his accent broke through like that. But yea it could be right he may of purposefully did it. It just sounded funny. But on the Psyh thing. True all people have to be walked through things and change definitely like they say can't happen over night. The flow switches and cadences and scenery was fantastic. Him bringing us along and together is awesome and he is great at that. But like I said later if he were more willing OR maybe if other artist would work with him he can also branchnout to a wider audience. But I believe someone told me in the comments. He doesn't want to do that one with his close associates. Which I respect that. He definitely has gained a cult following and pop status among his fans. Which is a great thing for the style or rap he does (Political) because it's hard to achieve greatness in that area because politics divides a nation. But he points out the hypocrisy of politics and law and legislation. Which is great. Society like you mentioned is all short attention spam, read less, and pay attention because of social media. Microwave society indeed. But I rock with what you said. Again great synapses!!
@@FaceFamous There is always that chance that they themselves can't actually work with him, even if they wanted to. As to why they can't work with him, well we can all shoot our shots in the dark. Just remember, even when Nicki was dissing Ben Shapiro, she could only address Tom as "who is that other rapper in that video?" in her tweets with Ben Shapiro. Almost as if to say, she is trying to acknowledge him but can't so this is the best way she can do it. Maybe the clear and apparent fact that there is no collaboration suggests the fact that "gatekeepers" may in fact exist? And if "gatekeepers" exist? What are they gating and who's in it? Every Garden has rules, and if you don't follow the rules, if you bite the apple, you get kicked out. These "gatekeepers" don't seem to be guarding a virtuous Garden though, so their version of an apple might be something like what Tom has taken a bite of. Something CLEARLY oriented towards GOOD but also turns people attention to something outside the flesh and onto the reality around them, and consistently. You can't be hanging out with someone who bit the apple in your Garden, you have to leave your Garden as well to talk to them. And if you leave your Garden, you have to deal with the "gatekeepers" of that respective Garden. He might be aware of this and uses it to his advantage. This is just my speculation. Great video.
@@SocraticTroller Great response. Which I figured for whatever reason and the industry included him and that artist tried and the collab fell through. So I get it and he might rather just want to work with big Indy rappers I stead to avoid all the head ache of the system of industry managers and CEOs trying to get a take or change who he is or "damage" their artist reputation for being with Tom. Crazy work though and dumb. But I get it.
@@FaceFamous Unfortunately, "politics" is not just what we see in Government, politics is a system that has the potential to include everything but shouldn't. A leviathan, a beast. Government is only that which facilitates the behavior of politics. For music can not only re-orient leaders in the proper direction but has the potential to make leaders out of the ordinary citizen, like you or me. So if you control the type of music, you control a potential avenue of the type of citizens you have and the type of culture/politics you had envisioned. Music mostly centered on bad apples will produce a culture a bad apples, "rotten apple effect" right? With the occasional champions/figureheads (Kendrick, J. Cole, and etc.) allowed but are not consistently clearly good to show you we aren't completely bad. When music has a good story, or a truth, that is just enough to inspire to commit acts of kindness and orient people towards a different culture, might be a no no. ...Oh shit, if politics is the "beast", it makes sense to use "God" mode as you said. Because God is above all, and that which is oriented towards God, always slays the leviathan (i.e., the beast, which is the politics) and takes what was best. Dang.
If you don’t like his political side then don’t listen, if you don’t like the truth then live blinded or in in lies. His political rap is for us true patriots that are fed up with how this country is going. Funny thing is people have gripe on him on repeat but what rapper isn’t? What rapper isn’t talking money,hoes, whips and drugs or killing this person or that person 🙄 guess some geniuses can’t put that formation together 🤣 Tom speaks facts and truth in his music period and if that can’t be respected well then that says a lot about people period.
See Now youre about to get me started. Because obviously you didn't LISTEN to what I said. I NEVER IN THIS VIDEO AT ALL said I didn't like his political side NEVER DID I SAY THAT. Next. I also said he is the GOAT AT THE POLITICAL RAP. GOAT!!!! GREATEST OF ALL TIME. What I SAID CLEARLY was ever drop of a video don't have to be. Then I ALSO SAID MAYBE EVERY 2 TO 3 VIDEOS CAN BE. ya don't listen🤷🏽♂️ I gave him high praise for what he does DID I NOT? . I don't give a damn if youre a Patriot we all are who love this country so spare me with that. And there's tons of rappers who don't rap about pimps hoes money etc. Learn hip hop and rap and expand your horizon. THIS GENIUS can formate that🤣😎 Never did I say I love pimps how's and money making music only🤔. What I like is what I like. Whether it's political if im in the mood to hear it, gangster if im the mood, just pure Bars, if im in the mood. But you right if I don't want to hear anything I don't listen. But asking someone to continue to display their full talent to expand their fanbase BECAUSE HE A GREAT ARTIST. AS I SAID AND MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO is triggering for you then I don't know what to tell you😲🙄. Next time listen to what I'm saying and quit jumping out the window because someone has a different taste than you Because I never said don't do it. Damn some of yall are trip. I purposefully measured my words in the video because either knew someone like you would respond this way. So I can say exactly what I just said now.
@@FaceFamous 🤔 I don’t remember mentioning your name or directly pointing my message directly to you…your channel or not my friend… my direction was towards the haters! Trust me I know rap I was a young buck when it all started so I’m actually above the horizon what you know about DJ Kool Herc ? I grew up on LL Cool J… P.E… RunDMC…Grand Master Flash…KRS One Eric B and Rock M do I need to go on 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you ain’t messing with no little boy here if I’m gonna call you out I’m gonna be right in your face doing it like a man. You had a mix of Hog fam on your channel along with geek squad big dog and that’s my direction to the haters that still gonna hate no matter what Tom puts out period now with that said to your unnecessary rant have a good day 👍 Oh by the way if Tom wanted to stay in this mode he was just in…it would be GOAT all day long in any form not just political but also see how that worked, do you see why Tom didn’t need to mention names but yet directed every bar with precision lethal cuts lmao even though I truly wasn’t talking directly to you you drew defense against what I said only difference is Tom was talking directly to who he was talking to not needing to mention names because they are not on the same level 🤭😉 and great reaction to the HOG God bless you and your captain
not really... his fan base is not only from the USA and for the rest of us,...we don't really care about politics. I understand 1-2 per year are ok, but too much is not good...
FU! He is doing just fine without having to please what you want. Personally, I wouldnt wish any person to stay this angry at people who should be wishing him the best!
I could be wrong but I don't think he was specifically including UA-cam reactors, but more artists trying to be as successful as him. My opinion only, just my perspective.
I agree brother. There were political rappers as you said. Some of my favorites. But over the last 10 years there has been none. I would also put Tup PAC in the political rap category. But after that error it’s been rap trash for the most part.
Indeed he is using a machine gun..but he sure didn't do more damage than all them put together NOT EVEN CLOSE..don't get me started on that..I can easily rip your theory apart 🤣🤣🤣🤣...but to each their own..it is your opinion..so I respect that for sure 🙏🏾🙏🏾
51:53 The Song 💕 Ghost 💞was All over USA/Canadian Radio and 2 Radio Stations in United Kingdom and 1 Radio Station in Australia or New Zealand yet that’s Too Far Down My Memory Stream To Fish Out yet Still that Was on Radio in 4 Different Countries -> Regardless 💯❣️❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🫂😍🥰 51:53
I don't understand how Tom is gonna get on a song with a signed artist . Don't think the industry will go for that.Or Tom for that matter.And that would require him to follow their guidelines thus killing his creative ability. and the ability to speak the truth> plus it goes against everything he stands for ( Being Independent)!
Awe yea I know. It's all them hating dudes who just be talking to be talking and don't listen to him. Or they just have a certain brand of Hip hop they like. If that's the case those yourubers need to not listen then they wouldn't have nothing to hate. They just jump on and start to hate just to hate sadly for viewers
They were playing Toms song "Ghost" on the radio here in NC until the higher up people seen his political views. They got scared and pulled it
I'm a 197 year old Alien from Mars and Tom inspires me. Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 gotta love it H.O.G
I'm a 290 year old stupid mother fucker lmfao and Tom has some good raps I have 0 things against him.

Good on him for making massive money of the same old shit over and over sometimes you get lucky and ride it out but the day will soon come he will change or retire.

The reason why so many of Tom's fans tell their age, race, and culture, in the comments is because they want to demonstrate how much of a multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-national, and multi-generational fan base Tom has grown. It's not a "running joke". It's the testimonies of his fans that the unity Tom calls for is happening, and is being made evident by the mass-appeal he's been able to generate.

I've done the Brave 2 album. Was very impressed by that... loved it!
Exactly, I actually love his wild side music 🎶 Leanne Son! 📀 a song called “Murder Business” etc. And See You Tomorrow 📀 is 🔥
About 4-5 songs off a 19 song album. could be considered political/social.
@samadams4165 . Those would definitely be the ones he could keep on the album. Make a video of something else. I'll say this. In moderation.🤣
Facts!!! His cds are about growing with one's self.
The on the phone with Sony was supposed to, I believe, sound like Charlie Brown on purpose. You know adults talking, kids not paying attention. Him not paying attention to labels.😉Also, when his eyes glowed bright on the Disney line, it was referencing the Cheshire Cat ftom Alice in Wonderland. Tom and Nova are just so creative❤️
Nice one!!!! Great catch!
His song Ghost has been on the radio
So was satanic rappers and castles
@@cappyjpadgettwere they? Didnt know that. Heard that "The Machine" was on the radio in Houston
Some of his other songs have also been on the Radio. Bad news is really popular
Like it or not Tom is the biggest independent rapper out there. Others use distribution companies or marketing companies and are not really independent.
actually it wasn’t a trailer when he did the motorcycle part he almost got arrested but then the cop took part n led in front of tom to keep the street clear
Ohhhhhhhhhh ok. I knew it was something in front of him. But that's great that the police helped him out that's awesome! And glad he didn't go to jail.
When he says nobody’s bigger than I am, he’s not talking about Em or any label artist. He’s talking directly to Ryan Upchurch who say’s Tom’s an industry plant & Upchurch thinks he’s bigger than Tom. But…he’s not.
Been waiting on your review and bada$% breakdowns. I've learned alot about hip hop arrangements watching you. IMO PURE 🔥 SONG! #HOG
Blessing fam!! And thank you for keeping up with me.🙏🏾
He's had a few get played on the radio in Canada and the U.S. last one was his song Ghost! He also had songs on the news!
Ghost was on the radio all over the country!
Ghost was on radio in like 18 states and Canada. I think End of the World hit some stations, too.
I love your uncomprimized honesty its refreshing HOG
You can complain about Tom being such and such... he is the goat 🐐 and he is the most genuine in the industry right now!
Once again in a big fan😁 of Tom. But everyone had their opinion of who the GOAT is.. but in his music genre yes he's the Goat. But overall GOAT of ALL RAP not for me in that regard.
And yes a very genuine person. I've always lied his personality.
Tom was talking about Independant Rappers not Industry like Eminem.
I know😁
Exactly. He is top of the top of independent rappers.
Great breakdown here for the whole thing. Last clip at the end his whole family. #HOG UK here for it
Loved that part!!!!!
He's worth 30 million. He has 20 million in the bank, but he's worth 30.
My boy got that Money!!! 💯 that's grinding!!!
The Tom song that was on the radio was a pop song that he wrote for his girl Nova, it’s called Ghost.
Ohhhhh😲 ok great song too. He shows Nova so much love ❤️
I love Tom but I absolutely love this pep talk you have for Tom.
I’ve been waiting for
THE REAL TOM to show up for years!
I know he has what it takes to force the pain out and write some epic tracks!
I mean Tom has the beats down pack!
Nothing can stop greatness and I have faith that Tom is gonna even grow bigger than what he has already shown us!!!
Rock on Tom!
✌️❤️🤘
I'm saying. This man has Supreme talent. He just needs to let it out!! This Tom I like. And it's ok to make joking songs. Political songs with some humor.
But THIS!!! THIS IS THE TOM I BEEN WAITING ON! just let loose and let the pain out quit playing it safe. Your fans are your fans we'll be here for the whole ride!!
@@FaceFamous indeed, same.
I’ll put this song against anything out right now period and the video is sick
My favorite song from him. This is a great one!
You are #1 in bar breakdown brother!
I disagree..respectfully-- you stop to talk about your opinion , way too much before the actually line or concept ends..and the message is delivered..Knox Hill is the man breaking down bars, flow switches etc..not saying it's terrible..just dam , man let the man speak and know your stuff- Mac lethal example..& I like how he attacks his political thoughts..listen to his live streams sometime..
Once again, OPINION and no Knox is not. We all do it differently . You hear a few Tom political songs you heard them all nothing new ans I even said that. It's all the same talking points.
Thank God for pops!
I love how you break everything down! Great reaction & many blessings to you. 😊
Thank you many blessings as well!!!
Tom was saying he is the goat of the independent artists. When he says he is the biggest independent artist.
Goat of this music genre too.
🤣🤣🤣 nah.....not even close. But I respect it. 💯
That was a movie....Mindblown !!!
Tom won't do a callab anymore, he made it clear. He can do it on his own without being with someone signed. This song was 🔥 He addressed all his haters without naming names. #Hogfamily #GodMode
Exactly I loved this!!
Tom you did that! I’m so proud of you. Stay mad! You rapped from your heart and soul. I love when Tom sits back and listen to everyone’s comments. When Tom digs deep he pulls out his HITS! Go TOM!!! This is authentic! Best song I’ve heard from TOM . Keep reaching past the stars. No beef nothing political. Just Tom being him True self! LOVE THIS!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏽😊🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️BARZZZZZ. Babe blow this song up for TOM ON THIS ONE!👈🏾 TOM IS BACK! This one is untouchable .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🗣️🗣️🗣️📢🔇. He gained back the RESPECT!
Hell yes he did!!
Real ass reaction. That's how I feel too
Great reaction Face! This is an Epic track (bars, beats, orchestra etc.) and the video is straight🔥. A great "no response", response. Also, I can only imagine how long this could've been? The length was probably cut down at least by half #HangOverGang
Song pure fire!!!
Love your reaction. Not only do you describe the meaning of the song, you break down and describe the rapping techniques, and give educated opinions. Def a subscriber
He always finds a new way to say it!
Much love and appreciation from Kentucky ❤️🙏❤️
Appreciate you 🙏🏾 💙
Yes he can collab but the artist you mentioned are all Elite rappers. Tom McDonald isn't messing with illuminati. Only independent like him. He doesn't want that P Diddy life.😅
4:53 He has put out a ton of music that isn't political granted majority of it is on his physical CD's, but thats what I don't understand when people say all he does is political music...No he does a completely mixed bag of music.
because his politcal talking points are exactly all the same.. just packaged differently. You stans cant criticize him fairly at all. He literally claimed he invented political rap 🤣 no he didnt. Hez the one that jacked the style. And thats why people hate him. He is the most dis honest piece of shit ever 🤣
bcz the cd's are pretty useless in 2024.
@@benegesserit9838 no they're not, I have them all ripped and downloaded to my phone as mp3s just like the rest of my music. Their only useless to those who can't be bothered.
This is how the majority of men make it, THEY HAVE A POPS
Damn right!!!!
Too me Tom is the goat. I love how Tom has evolved over the years. H.O.G gang for life
NWA and Public Enemy did political songs on occasion, but I don't label them as political rappers. Not saying Tom started it, just saying. Great reaction! Did hear "Ghost " in Texas on a radio station #HOG
Yea that's true , I wouldn't call them pure political they did more social topics for black community. Not truly political...Tom has a strangle hold on it..and is the GOAT at it. I'll always give him that ..
You know what. I'll say this there are rappers who dabbled in it.
But Tom took it to another atmosphere and this is something he started with PURE POLITICAL. Nothing wrong with it.
As far as radio. To your point I couldn't say he isn't on radio. I guess I would have to be looking for it to know it. What I don't like is how because he's different he doesn't get the push that we feel he deserves. Outside of himself doing the work.
I can agree with that.
Glad to see you doing this one. Always appreciate your breakdowns and are one of the 2 I actually look for outside of what the YT algorithm spits out. I just wish you had the time to put out MORE. Haha.
Yea im developing a plan as we speak on that. And figuring out a schedule. Got to stay consistent. And just put out whatever songs pop into my head and new releases.
Thanks for checking for me😎 appreciate all the support!
'God Mode' indeed. 🤯🤯 Tom got a lot off his chest with this one. He was responding to EVERYBODY! He took in all the negative comments and hate over several months and let it simmer awhile until he gave us this 💎! The production is impressive, the bars are outstanding, the flow switches are amazing, the song is incredible and the video is out of this world. Tom's had several of his songs on the radio. I know that Ghost, Bad News, and Facts were all played recently here in Texas. Heard Ghost played in Walmart a little while ago. 😉 ✝😇 #HangOverGang #NovaRockafeller
He sure did get a lot off. I love the song . Thats the Tom I like right here. Say what you got to say Tom!!!.
To be honest, political hip hop exists since Public Enemy, nothing new under the sun. Said that, Tom is pure awesomeness.
This song 🔥🔥🔥 Family 💪 is epic!
65. I cut it short for you, LMAO. Well done Sir.
Tom is the GOAT! #1 Facts!!!
Tom is great I'll give him that always. Can't give him all around GOAT though (for me...you yes me not so much).
Great artist none the less. But I won't debate anyone who says he is for them. I respect everyone's opinion on how they feel about their favorite artist
Ghost was on the radio, but they pulled it because they didn't want his views to be put out there. HOG4LIFE
H.O.G family love … well said good sir 💯✌️❤️🙏… stay up big dog💯✌️. Too you appreciated the reaction and breakdown.. awesome
Hey man! Thanks for stopping by to watch. Stay up yourself💯❤️🙏🏾
@@FaceFamous anytime big dog .. some of best breakdowns ever .. appreciate it 💯✌️❤️🙏.. thank you too my all American hardworking brother 💯✌️
@johnbarraco5561 Hey my man it's all good and appreciate the compliment . Much love!!!
Btw Tom got #1 Billboard in Rap/R&B & Hip Hop for this song.
I think he's talking about the goat of 100% independent never Ever signed, no distribution deal, No nothing rappers
I'm pretty sure when he said he was the only political rapper he was specifically talking amongst "Independent" rappers. He's not conceited enough to believe he's the only one ever. Emenim used to be political and he is Tom's favorite. He just didn't stay "in that lane" as you say.
Lol keep lying to yourselves. He definitely is claiming he invented the whole genre. Just further proof you people camt criticize him fairly
I’m in Pa. and I’ve heard him a couple of times on Wv. Stations. His Ghost was played a good bit too.
Oh cool. Hes gaining or I'll he has more reach. That's awesome!!
In ohio area its on the radio . Alot of his songs
Really?! Is it a hip hop station? I really don't know, how do they would classify his music?
@@FaceFamous they have it on 107.9 which his a hip-hop/rap channel . 96.5 which is KISS fm and then 88.1 which is ran by the Akron University. They don't really play his political music all that much . I've heard "America" . A lot of the brave 2 songs and then "ghost" a lot .
your breakdowns are insane on first listen, but are we getting Mural by Lupe? it's going to be something TRUST ME.
Best believe its coming.. matter of fact I'll do it this week
Tom’s last few songs this, stronger version not political. Superman not political. Crome not political the Race War ( political) Black and White not political. I think folks just remembered his political music because they hate politics.
Could be... I did react to Black and White. I seen Superman .
I forgot Facts with Ben I could see where some would call that one political
Tom always tries to inspire...even during this "hit back" song.
Love your view on this! Also, it's Mac Lethal. Not Mac Miller. Lol I've done the same thing a couple times!
I put Mac Lethals name on the video , at the part where I said it.
I agree about his political songs. I will watch them when they first come out. But I don't rewatch them. Now his other songs I can listen to over and over and over....Like Bad News, No Good Bastards. I am like you not very political. Great reaction:) Just subscribed:)
Thank you welcome aboard! 🙏🏾. Oh definitely his other songs that I've done were great. I'll listen to his political once or sometime I just skip it all together. The man has great talent though
Love the political. He raps about what others won’t.
He raps youtube talking points. What are you saying. Everything toms said has been said before. He didnt invent the political genre 🤣
Think what people need to remember is a lot of times a particular song stating [position etc] will be the first time an individual might hear the artist. Thus, the 'political' influence or whatever may not be will mean nothing to the new listener. It is their introduction to the artist. Old to those like yourself who spend time breaking down etc things getting tired of? Yup. If he didn't restate what's important to him, new listener would have no clue. Just an idea.
my fingers didn't keep up with my brain cell.. o.o
Tom's amazing!!! ❤#HOG ❤
Damn right
Political rap is only about a quarter of what he has in his catalog. If you have not bought his CDS then you are not fully informed.
I've also reacted to the Brave 2 album. I've reacted to plenty of his soulful songs. Mental illness songs. Fun songs political songs.
See yall don't be listening at all. I know the catalog. And I didn't say the songs are are political. 🙄
I agree that political rap has always been around, your missing something tho. How many rappers were rapping about right wing ideas? Also I love your ideas man keep it going!
The impression I have got from Tom watching his live streams, etc. He had said that he had kind of isolated himself from mainstream artists. Both because of his attacks on the industry and the political views he expresses in his music. He sees himself as a liability to mainstream artists. Also he has made a lot of career attacking mainstream. What would that say if he suddenly jumped ship on that particular foundational principle.(This last part was simply my through process if he did go mainstream) I mean he did somewhat do that when he had John Rich as a feature. However John Rich left mainstream awhile back and he isn't hip hop.
remember the song is over 8 mins long ...let Tom tell it. nice I all ways wanted to work on air planes.
Love it!🔥
You need more subs and likes bro!
Man I appreciate that 🙏🏾 💯
On the radio here in Ohio, quite a few stations, including Z 107.9 in Cleveland.
That's what I figured. If it's played then it's certain stations thats up on game with Tom and will push his music
@@FaceFamousSouthern Georgia also Augusta to Savannah area
@@FaceFamoushe was talking about a lot of different stations in Canada also played his music
Would love to see your thoughts on Boom Bap 101, Toms early showcasing of his lyrical ability.
I don’t think he’ll ever be included w industry signed rappers since they Constantly tell him he’ll never be included. After the church thing If be careful who I jump on a track with. He’s built his own lane. I’m not sure many owned artists could work w him wo regretting their own choices. Truthfully, Hes done too much truth telling to ever work w any of them. But he doesn’t want to.
Mac responded to this 👀
Gost was in Wisconsin too
I have, and I am in the middle of the country bruh, lol
I think when it come to tom McDonald he saed want make music to help build poeple up why he rap about some them overs.
When it rap with over rapper i think it be hard because what he know for so and have hate like he will do lot make him look bad but lot time he just care about poeple.
I had have seen the hater he got lot time don't have leg stand on just because all think bad tom McDonald just because what he is in a hole.
My love the family flex and the 11 inches line just because you know he piss off lot poeple with them he have changed lot more what poeple may think and all so blew up about two or more time.
I do hope you get you'r goals face famous #hog UK
#HANGOVERGANG4LIFE #NOVASdaCHIT #HOGLOVE2UBROTHER
Question - all the big artists you named are signed. Do you think that any label would let their artist collaborate with him? Also, if he did something with a label artist, wouldn’t he consider that a betrayal of his own values?
The phone comment was interesting.
As you pointed out that part in which he sounded like a typical Canadian, "wom wom wom", the way you said it reminded me of how characters in old cartoons like The Simpsons would sometimes have other characters sounding just like that when speaking on phones, "wom wom wom", it was babble when heard. It just so happens, where you point this out, he "is getting off the phone with presidents", so they can sound like babble to him "wom wom wom" on the phone too. Nice lol
Also, again with the comment on his stuff getting old. Totally agree, and I am still a fan.
I disagree in that it "isn't necessary". It's cool you were a Psychologist, so maybe you'll be familiar with this idea. People's systems/structures can't be uprooted willy nilly, they must be replaced by an alternative system/structure, or else the person plunges into chaos, or they just won't pay attention to the other system/structure, or they will antagonize the other system/structure.
For instance, you can't just get rid of holidays, you would have to replace holidays with alternative holidays.
You can't just tell a patient in a psychological session what the answer is even though you know it, you have to walk them through to the solution until they grasp it themselves, hopefully.
In the same fashion, we can say the current cultural system is one in which people have shorter-attention spans, read less, and require something to constantly pay attention to.
This is evident in Tik-Tok, UA-cam, and POP music.
To get in the lane of the listener, he has to CONSTANTLY do something similar but slightly different, so his sounding repetitive is something like he has achieved a POP status of some kind. Even in this song alone, there are constant flow switches, different cinematic themes, and a story being told all at once, which is what people crave, and stacks/stiches different elements of POP together.
He has to slowly bring us all along for the ride, and out of the pop mentality. This is also evident in the longer songs. It's like using Pop against itself, or rather, stacking pop on top of another pop. Dang, it's anti Tik-Tok and Sin. This is a virtuous psy-ops.
GREAT COMMENT 👍🏻. yea it caught my attention how his accent broke through like that. But yea it could be right he may of purposefully did it. It just sounded funny.
But on the Psyh thing. True all people have to be walked through things and change definitely like they say can't happen over night.
The flow switches and cadences and scenery was fantastic. Him bringing us along and together is awesome and he is great at that. But like I said later if he were more willing OR maybe if other artist would work with him he can also branchnout to a wider audience. But I believe someone told me in the comments. He doesn't want to do that one with his close associates. Which I respect that. He definitely has gained a cult following and pop status among his fans. Which is a great thing for the style or rap he does (Political) because it's hard to achieve greatness in that area because politics divides a nation. But he points out the hypocrisy of politics and law and legislation. Which is great.
Society like you mentioned is all short attention spam, read less, and pay attention because of social media. Microwave society indeed.
But I rock with what you said. Again great synapses!!
@@FaceFamous There is always that chance that they themselves can't actually work with him, even if they wanted to.
As to why they can't work with him, well we can all shoot our shots in the dark.
Just remember, even when Nicki was dissing Ben Shapiro, she could only address Tom as "who is that other rapper in that video?" in her tweets with Ben Shapiro. Almost as if to say, she is trying to acknowledge him but can't so this is the best way she can do it.
Maybe the clear and apparent fact that there is no collaboration suggests the fact that "gatekeepers" may in fact exist? And if "gatekeepers" exist? What are they gating and who's in it? Every Garden has rules, and if you don't follow the rules, if you bite the apple, you get kicked out.
These "gatekeepers" don't seem to be guarding a virtuous Garden though, so their version of an apple might be something like what Tom has taken a bite of. Something CLEARLY oriented towards GOOD but also turns people attention to something outside the flesh and onto the reality around them, and consistently. You can't be hanging out with someone who bit the apple in your Garden, you have to leave your Garden as well to talk to them. And if you leave your Garden, you have to deal with the "gatekeepers" of that respective Garden.
He might be aware of this and uses it to his advantage.
This is just my speculation.
Great video.
@@SocraticTroller Great response. Which I figured for whatever reason and the industry included him and that artist tried and the collab fell through. So I get it and he might rather just want to work with big Indy rappers I stead to avoid all the head ache of the system of industry managers and CEOs trying to get a take or change who he is or "damage" their artist reputation for being with Tom. Crazy work though and dumb. But I get it.
@@FaceFamous Unfortunately, "politics" is not just what we see in Government, politics is a system that has the potential to include everything but shouldn't. A leviathan, a beast. Government is only that which facilitates the behavior of politics.
For music can not only re-orient leaders in the proper direction but has the potential to make leaders out of the ordinary citizen, like you or me. So if you control the type of music, you control a potential avenue of the type of citizens you have and the type of culture/politics you had envisioned. Music mostly centered on bad apples will produce a culture a bad apples, "rotten apple effect" right? With the occasional champions/figureheads (Kendrick, J. Cole, and etc.) allowed but are not consistently clearly good to show you we aren't completely bad.
When music has a good story, or a truth, that is just enough to inspire to commit acts of kindness and orient people towards a different culture, might be a no no.
...Oh shit, if politics is the "beast", it makes sense to use "God" mode as you said. Because God is above all, and that which is oriented towards God, always slays the leviathan (i.e., the beast, which is the politics) and takes what was best. Dang.
@SocraticTroller dann right the more we think about it and talk it out ,the deeper it gets!!
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you don’t like his political side then don’t listen, if you don’t like the truth then live blinded or in in lies. His political rap is for us true patriots that are fed up with how this country is going. Funny thing is people have gripe on him on repeat but what rapper isn’t?
What rapper isn’t talking money,hoes, whips and drugs or killing this person or that person 🙄 guess some geniuses can’t put that formation together 🤣 Tom speaks facts and truth in his music period and if that can’t be respected well then that says a lot about people period.
See Now youre about to get me started. Because obviously you didn't LISTEN to what I said. I NEVER IN THIS VIDEO AT ALL said I didn't like his political side NEVER DID I SAY THAT. Next. I also said he is the GOAT AT THE POLITICAL RAP. GOAT!!!! GREATEST OF ALL TIME. What I SAID CLEARLY was ever drop of a video don't have to be. Then I ALSO SAID MAYBE EVERY 2 TO 3 VIDEOS CAN BE. ya don't listen🤷🏽♂️
I gave him high praise for what he does DID I NOT? . I don't give a damn if youre a Patriot we all are who love this country so spare me with that. And there's tons of rappers who don't rap about pimps hoes money etc. Learn hip hop and rap and expand your horizon. THIS GENIUS can formate that🤣😎
Never did I say I love pimps how's and money making music only🤔. What I like is what I like. Whether it's political if im in the mood to hear it, gangster if im the mood, just pure Bars, if im in the mood. But you right if I don't want to hear anything I don't listen. But asking someone to continue to display their full talent to expand their fanbase BECAUSE HE A GREAT ARTIST. AS I SAID AND MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO is triggering for you then I don't know what to tell you😲🙄.
Next time listen to what I'm saying and quit jumping out the window because someone has a different taste than you
Because I never said don't do it. Damn some of yall are trip. I purposefully measured my words in the video because either knew someone like you would respond this way. So I can say exactly what I just said now.
@@FaceFamous 🤔 I don’t remember mentioning your name or directly pointing my message directly to you…your channel or not my friend… my direction was towards the haters! Trust me I know rap I was a young buck when it all started so I’m actually above the horizon what you know about DJ Kool Herc ? I grew up on LL Cool J… P.E… RunDMC…Grand Master Flash…KRS One Eric B and Rock M do I need to go on 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you ain’t messing with no little boy here if I’m gonna call you out I’m gonna be right in your face doing it like a man. You had a mix of Hog fam on your channel along with geek squad big dog and that’s my direction to the haters that still gonna hate no matter what Tom puts out period now with that said to your unnecessary rant have a good day 👍
Oh by the way if Tom wanted to stay in this mode he was just in…it would be GOAT all day long in any form not just political but also see how that worked, do you see why Tom didn’t need to mention names but yet directed every bar with precision lethal cuts lmao even though I truly wasn’t talking directly to you you drew defense against what I said only difference is Tom was talking directly to who he was talking to not needing to mention names because they are not on the same level 🤭😉 and great reaction to the HOG
God bless you and your captain
His "political" songs are only boring for those still asleep. Facts. I think he's doing God's work actually
not really... his fan base is not only from the USA and for the rest of us,...we don't really care about politics. I understand 1-2 per year are ok, but too much is not good...
Have you reacted to sheeple yet? I think that song was about you
11” is referring to a sheet a paper 🤘
Nice catch!!!
ok homes 54 old white boy from the hood ..." big daddy Kane!"....lol!
FU! He is doing just fine without having to please what you want. Personally, I wouldnt wish any person to stay this angry at people who should be wishing him the best!
Visuals are all NOVA!🤣
Tom isn’t going to collab with any signed artist…labels are butthurt he won’t sign with any of them!
He's referring that now not then
What was the last year that a rapper took #1 on billboard, other than rap?
I could be wrong but I don't think he was specifically including UA-cam reactors, but more artists trying to be as successful as him. My opinion only, just my perspective.
Nah bro that's a good perspective 👌. Ain't nothing wrong with that way of looking at it. I can see that
I am a white dude and I live from payday to payday!
Ice t ...public enemy
I agree brother. There were political rappers as you said. Some of my favorites. But over the last 10 years there has been none. I would also put Tup PAC in the political rap category. But after that error it’s been rap trash for the most part.
Hell yes... you're correct Tupac could be put in that category.. and I also agree if a person isn't digging..a lot of rap is trash
Bro, i'm 3 years old. The only music i listen to is CocoMelon and Tom Macdonald.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 I was a thought in my dad's head before he slept with my mom. And I been predicting Tom Macdonald music before he even started!!! 🤣🤣
Please review "push ups" new church track
Tom did more damage than Ice Cube, 2Pac, Easy-E, Dr. Dre all put together. He was using a machine gun.
Indeed he is using a machine gun..but he sure didn't do more damage than all them put together NOT EVEN CLOSE..don't get me started on that..I can easily rip your theory apart 🤣🤣🤣🤣...but to each their own..it is your opinion..so I respect that for sure 🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@FaceFamous I do see your side after thinking about it. I guess the only thing I could say is he is ripping more people than the others did

51:53 The Song 💕 Ghost 💞was All over USA/Canadian Radio and 2 Radio Stations in United Kingdom and 1 Radio Station in Australia or New Zealand yet that’s Too Far Down My Memory Stream To Fish Out yet Still that Was on Radio in
4 Different Countries -> Regardless 💯❣️❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🫂😍🥰 51:53
I don't understand how Tom is gonna get on a song with a signed artist . Don't think the industry will go for that.Or Tom for that matter.And that would require him to follow their guidelines thus killing his creative ability. and the ability to speak the truth> plus it goes against everything he stands for ( Being Independent)!
Tom will NEVER do music with any mainstream artist. Tom referring he's bigger IN FULL Independent.
I don't think he is dissing you or other UA-camrs, he might be dissing on those who spew hate to him on UA-cam.
Awe yea I know. It's all them hating dudes who just be talking to be talking and don't listen to him. Or they just have a certain brand of Hip hop they like. If that's the case those yourubers need to not listen then they wouldn't have nothing to hate. They just jump on and start to hate just to hate sadly for viewers
I heard him in Tennessee. But yes not to much
