    Tom is an independent, conscious songwriter/producer/artist/musician. He's too honest and unapologetically himself musically to ever be accepted in hip hop, especially these days. He only drops when he has something he wants to get off his chest. He also produces beats according to his mood, so you never know what vibe of banger you're going to get.

    Being color blind is a misnomer. You see the blonde, ginger or hottie, no matter what sub race she might be. We see the hillbillies and the ghetto folks.
    If you're not observant, you'll never see (insert whatever traits) coming at you with a weapon or with a hand out to offer a greeting and blessing.
    We see everything. Good people treat everyone the same. One race created in the image of God. Battle is always Good vs evil.

    We’ve moved a total of 15 times. Yes that’s a TON! It’s ruffly every 2 years.
    In all of THOSE moves the only exception I’ve come across was Japan. 95% of our movers have be African American.

    On the school shooter thing, it's actually a lot darker than I think a lot of people realize. If you dig into the statistics on school shootings, you'll find that the only ones actually counted are ones that involve a shooter entering school during class and shooting classmates with no support and not in the service of another crime.
    Why does this matter? Because *gang* related shootings are completely left out of the statistics, including ones at schools. This covers up a lot of the violence happening against children in inner cities, particularly against minority groups, as it's all bundled in with more generalized gang violence (which is a massive problem on its own). But black kids in inner cities are actually more likely to be shot by their peers than white kids; they just don't call them school shootings because they frequently involve gangs or aren't actually on school grounds, despite still being minor-on-minor homicide.
    Not that this makes other school shootings any less horrific, but I think there's a sort of subtle racism inherent in treating violence against middle and upper class white kids differently from violence against inner city minority kids. In either case you have heartbroken parents, family, and friends.
    Eminem touched on this in The Way I Am after Columbine when he points out that it's a tragedy now that it happens to middle America, but he rightly recognizes that such violence was common (and still is common) in the lower income parts of Chicago where he grew up. It's been over 20 years since that song was released and this verse still hits me hard every time I hear it.

There’s always going to be a couple buttholes… but they come in all flavors.

    I do think that sometimes what we believe in our heads holds us back as much as other things. Even if you see a profession that you think is only for other people, persue it anyway. Worse that can happen is its a no. If you don't try it's already a 100% no. Think of how many times it could have been a yes. Remember, employers can only employ those that apply.

    Interesting to ponder on why a country would destroy a fiscal class that produces 90 percent of pioneers of all industry like tech, defense engineering, education, ect. They also provided almost all positive tax without a negative draw. Now why would that class not be saved at all costs? Have we been sold and we are under a long term systematic destruction needed to cripple a Nation. When people are starving they will willingly sell their rights for help. Good thing I love pan fish and grow tomatoes to stew cabbage palm. Access to information was the barrier that kept the poor poor in a free capitalist republic. Now that information is free and readily available they need to adjust fire on our asses. Well i know how to shoot and move too.

    Oliver Anthony signed with UTA to represent him, but has not signed any record deals and has stated that he won't do so in the future. UTA does booking, meaning they facilitate gigs and stuff. It's not a production contract. I don't think your criticism is fair. He wrote his music from the heart and it touched a lot of people. He went through it, we shouldn't be trying to hold him down because he got his break.

    think you and your dad should do more research before reacting to anything by them. They are talking about how your color does not decide where you go your actions do. And the country being 75% white no maybe 50 years ago. Everywhere I've lived other than Texas you see less whites than other races. It is how you decide to live not your race.

      Look up the US census it literally is 75% white people in America today. That’s just a fact. The fact that you live and go in areas surrounded by none-white people doesn’t change the fact the 75% of the US is white even if you don’t surround yourself with actually balanced diversity of 75% white representation I guess. White people are especially in non-urban areas, the areas where the foods grown but not in service jobs as much. Technically it’s more than 75% of the US is white, it’s 75.8%. There are several parts of the US where a person may never even see a non-white person, not because they aren’t allowed or they would be discriminated against, but because none are in these communities and it’s not just Texas. We ALL need to humble and be careful not to claim others aren’t doing the research. He was quoting research so what should you say? If you’re a strong person you’re going to recognize what he spit was a fact, and what you did was insult him for speaking the truth you didn’t want to believe or research yourself before questioning. People need to humble, admit mistakes, say sorry.

      Wyoming and Idaho's Black population comprise only 1% of their respective populations; Wyoming, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, and Utah's are only 2%; South Dakota, New Mexico, and Oregon's are 3%; and North Dakota and Hawaii's are 4%. Yet, 13% of Texas is black, but only 9.5% of New York is black. New York is more then the city and all the visitors to the city.
      6% of my state is black, but 40% of my city is black. I’m not trying to pick on you I’m actually trying to help you see the greater truth so you can share it and not spread rumors. I literally had to tell me one friend that Minority means not the majority despite the fact that she too was convinced everyone is black because that’s all she saw on TV with what she watched and it’s all she saw in the neighborhood and that’s all she let influence her and that last part is the scary part. That’s the racist part.

      I can admit I'm wrong on that one. I retract my statement.

    There's a marketing strategy that Tom uses to appeal to the youth. The youth have short attention spans plus their mindset is conditioned to think like a video gamer. And ALL video games are gimmicky. The very young people are sold toys and other products through gimmicky marketing. The young people are not DEEP THINKERS. In order to grab their immature mind's attention they are captured by the brand marketing appearance first. So they (Tom other artists in his video) wear costumes to appeal to their main demographics (the youth). The father reactor is looking at things through his generation. And he overlooked the fact that Tom's main demographic group are teenagers and young adults. They are the most lost and in trouble (but they are too dumbdown to know that). I am not saying this to be mean. I'm stating a fact. Yes there are mature young people. But they're the exception. Tom is trying to wake up the youth because they are being experimented on (transgender surgery, etc.) By the time they become older adults they will REGRET altering their natural bodies. But I digress... I'm saying that the reason why it is necessary for Tom to make cartoon-like videos is to inspire the young to get interested in his message of liberation. Then after they fall in love with the appearance of his videos, then they will keep playing his songs more. Gradually they will begin to question what is going on and question who they are going along with is a very dangerous agenda. Many young reactors I've been watching over the last few years started out just bopping their heads to mainly Tom's beats and his rapping flow styles. They have over time, started to change and they testify how Tom has made them start think. And then they start to find out the truth more. So if Tom made his videos too serious all the time, then he'd lose a HUGE portion of his fan base. He has to appeal to a dumb-down audience. but the trick is to grab their attention, first. And it just so happens that the youth like his gimmicky style. Later after they mature more, they start to watch his more serious videos that are NOT gimmicky. I'm around your father's age. And back in our day, the young people were educated to have critical--logical thinking and to challenge authority (like the youth who protested the Vietnam war). Remember, I'm speaking in general. So, some college students were murdered by the police at a peaceful 1960's protest on a college campus. So your Dad is criticizing this video that it's too gimmicky. But he has to see who Tom is marketing his message to, mainly. Because after the older folks have passed away, this world will be left in the hands of this younger generation. They wont be able to raise their children right if they fail to wake up and pay attention to whats going on so they won't become victims, themselves. And if they already are victims, Tom's songs may possibly help them to rethink their situation and possibly survive more intelligently. Then maybe the young can rise above the many unnecessary hardships that this government has entrapped the them into. Also, Tom is not JUST a musical artist, he has figured out the marketing algorithms to make his videos more appealing and popular. The reason he has been first independent rapper to get some of his tunes to the top of Bill Board charts(which has played tricks to block him from submitting his sales data and getting official credit for it), is because he has learned how to outsmart the gatekeepers who don't want his message to reach the youth. So I suggest that your father see why Tom markets his videos like he does. And so far Tom has had over 30+ singles that reached #1, consistently. He's also made history by being the first independent musicical artist to have a few of his songs played on the mainstream public radio broadcast stations. This is unheard of. No independent-artist that is NOT signed to a music record label has been UNABLE to break through that barrier until Tom. The tracks that I can recall that made radio air p;lay are: "End of World" and "Ghost" (which Ghost was a Pop Song which no independent artist has had thier songs played on commercial airwaves). So everything that Tom and his team does has a purpose for it. He is not guessing at what he does because he has been getting it consistently right since his first track blew up on Facebook called, "Dear Rappers". Tom knows how the young think. He knows how to speak their language and look COOL to them. Remember when you were young how you would only paid attention to anyoone that you thought sounded & looked COOL (way back in the day). What your father calls gimmicky in the mind of today's youth is considered to be COOL. And causes the kids to check his tunes out more. Remember, I'm speaking in generalities. There will always be exceptions to the general rule. So yeah Tom would not be getting millions of views if his gimmicky marketing strategy of his music was not well planned in advance. There's a (marketing) method to his madness, so to speak. Tom's gotten his marketing tactics down to a science, at this point. Just look at his sales track record. And he has Bill Board plaques, on top of all that. So if this video was NOT gimmicky then most of his sales from the youth would plummet. And so would his video views as well. Then when the kids notice his number of views are LOW, they would NOT want to give his videos a chance to be watched or listened to. So its sad but today's youth are mentally and emotionally handicapped, due to an overload of contradictory daily propaganda messages. Otherwise these gimmicks would not work on them so well. But the serious side to his marketing strategy is to stimulate a seed of curiosity in today's youth so they can be able to mentally save themselves from being completely overthrown and enslaved. I sent this message so that your father can ease up on the gimmicky thing. Kids today wont listen unless they are introduced through exciting colorful and cool sounding music videos. That is the reality. The end.
