Tom isn't just a rapper, he's a poet and a master at his craft. You don't have to agree with everything he says to appreciate his honesty and courage. He says things alot of us are too afraid to say.
This track is beautifully genius. Not only is it humble to recognize his vulnerability and expose them to the world, that makes it damn near impossible for the opposition to attack him on points that he already brought up
Much Love! & Much appreciated...this is what depression and anxiety and the battle with addiction look like. Portrayed perfectly and beaten with the confidence we all need to find within ourselves!
@Steve Clarke ...Will do. I have not heard him yet but I have heard of him. I will go take a listen though! We play a lot of Tom Macdonald at the Veterans Club where I volunteer. This song resonated with so many of them. Some of these guys are a little tough to get through to but this song (& all Tom's songs #HOG) have been blessings as really impactful conversation starters! But I've heard this a LOT so Ren will be coming up!!! Thanks for the recommendation!!!
I struggle with imposter syndrome. Everytime something good comes into my life, anytime I start to get ahead, that nagging voice in the back of my head starts up. "You're not good enough for this", "You don't deserve this", or "They're going to find out you're just a fraud, and kick you out". This song hits me deep.
EPIC Respect for Tom and his having the huevos to shine light on the battle that most of us fight in secret. 🔥🔥🔥 For anyone battling depression or anxiety, know that #HOG The Army and we are in your corner. Our demons only have as much power as we give them. #hangovergang forever 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🏿🤘🏽
Listening to you, I felt many emotions and you helped me so much I thought maybe just maybe a mental health therapist could help me if they spoke with this honesty.
I Love this song! This is the song that introduced me to Tom! I've never looked back since! Awesome reaction! Thanks ❤️ Much Love! #Hangovergang #Nova Rockafeller #Best Rapper Ever
Here for it! This is one of my morning commute Beast Mode songs! I start up my engine with this, "Don't look down", "No Response", "I'm sorry" and "I hate Hip-Hop". One or more of these in the mix, every morning. On the way home, though, I play songs like "Buttholes" and "Fake Fans" and "Sheeple"-"Brainwashed"-"The System". A Tom song for each purpose. #HOG #HOGEurope
let me be honest this is day 5 without using something i have been using for 6 years on of today my brain said you got this undercontrole just do it one more time... this video basically game me more motivation to not do it i really appreciate it
FYI this took number one on iTunes over Eminem’s entire new album the same week it dropped! He had this video ready and waiting for Eminem to drop just to see how he would compete!! The primary message behind this song and video is that if you see hate comments or someone says something directly to you that is negative you can’t let that overtake you and who you are. He is saying that we have to be stronger than the negative voices and stay confident and work hard to achieve our goals. In other words don’t let outside words and opinions make you forget who you know you are and what you know you are capable of #BestRapperEver #HangoverGangForever🔥🤘🌟🏆
I haven't seen one of your reactions in a while My friend. I was so excited this morning when I saw the notification pop up! I really love your work. Tom and Nova killed it on this one. It was not even like a video it was like a movie. Definitely a power couple.
You're 100% right everybody's always talking about somebody else they're not worrying about themselves he's got skills and he's explaining his life and he's doing it just buy him and his girl
Unbelievable what those two can do together. The work behind all of it and every one they do is incredible. The pressure has to be tremendous especially when you are always in competition with yourself. I'm always impressed with how they keep it constantly real from what they do to who they are. Hats off with a standing ovation. To have the strength of will to be able to keep an addiction under control is outstanding to me and why I understand the terrible lows, the constant daily urge that some days just breaks you down and you get songs like Famous and Balloons and Withdrawals and Hangman just barely holding on and then the sun is a bit brighter and warmer and the smile is back secretly hoping it lasts longer this time and it usually does. Ray you are one of the courageous guys, one of the good ones and especially one of the real ones. Much love♥🙏🏽🤙🏽✌🏽#HOG4EVER
Bro ray this was the realest breakdown I’ve seen. No rapper should be put in a box. We preach individuality then put people in a box, we say we are individuals but point fingers at others till THEY put THEMSELVES in a box. What happened to treat others how YOU want to be treated?!?!
I listen to Angeles and Demons in the car daily, Best Rapper Ever is my second favourite song from Tom, if Angeles and Demons had a music video it might overtake it.
This is my third video I’ve watched so far and I have to tell you , you are an awesome human! Thank you for your words and your videos! You speak what you feel and aren’t fake. I love it! Thank u
RAY SUCH A GOOD REACTION. WHEN YOU'RE FIGHTING YOU'RE MIND IT'S HARD AND YOU'RE RIGHT WE CAN'T GIVE IN. THAT'S WHAT TOM DID AT THE END HE FOUGHT BACK AND WON. LOVED THE REACTION AND HEY YOU LIKE ROCK YOU SHOULD REALLY GIVE METALLICA A LISTEN TO IF YOU DO START WITH FADE TO BLACK IT'S NOT A HARD SONG. HANGOVERGANG FOREVER
Just wanted to say how much I appreciated this reaction and everything you said!! ❤️ Much love!! I struggle with depression and addiction as well and I know you said Tom is really good at explaining things and getting his point across, but man, I really felt everything you were saying about being in my own head and getting out of my own way!! So thank you, I really needed to hear that!! Respect !
16:26 This is actually roughly a 200million year old survival instinct lol. We are hardwired to focus on the negative so we can survive danger, use past negative experiences to adjust our actions to avoid and/or use caution around danger, and also adjust our social selves to avoid being hated/detested/shunned etc. by others(we need interaction/affection). Example. We get burnt by fire, we adjust subconsciously to use greater caution in the future without having to think about it. If someone insults us(hard truth or troll) we try to understand why and reflect on our actions, and make adjustments to our behavior if needed. Unless you're a sociopath, we feel regret and guilt when we hurt others, and that in turn helps us stay in line in the future. We have a greater chance of survival if we avoid danger and conduct ourselves as maturely as possible.. With the positive, there is nothing to learn lol. Pleasure/love/happiness/compliments etc. all affirm nothing is "wrong". There is no need to fix something that isn't broken haha
THIS one hits in 2024, but more importantly it will HIT HARDER IN 35+ years,💯😤 ADDICTION AND MENTAL ILLNESS IS HERE TO STAY. We gave them ROOTS 🎋IN THE CULTURE IF THIS 🇺🇸🇺🇲 AND 🌎 Keep it up UNC RAY, one day we will haNg out,NO DIDDY❤😂
In my opinion, Tom MacDonald is far beyond (Eminem) just being a great rapper. His title of his latest album says it all. BRAVE. Additionally, in one of his podcasts he says he thanks God everyday therefore he will always remain above all.
Yo Big Ray, str8 up, i watch n are subscribed to several reaction channels which are great, but you my nigga bro. You the realist to me as far as life experiences. Im guessing your my age or closer, im 56, East Coast raised; NJ n Maryland/DC most my life 50+ yrs. I definitely get the vibe my brother. Great Channel n tell Fredrico to tighten up,lol...😅. Love ya brother #5150🤘🖤🤍💯💫👀
Don't forget about that part of depression which is irrationality. For instance, the bit about "...no one will sign you". Yet, Tom has plenty of label offers, but he knows he _cannot_ trust them. Unless he meant no label offers where they weren't trying to screw him and shut him up. That does make sense, but I don't think that's what he meant.
Tom isn't just a rapper, he's a poet and a master at his craft. You don't have to agree with everything he says to appreciate his honesty and courage. He says things alot of us are too afraid to say.
This track is beautifully genius. Not only is it humble to recognize his vulnerability and expose them to the world, that makes it damn near impossible for the opposition to attack him on points that he already brought up
Yes !! My favorite Tom Mac song,,let's go.....!!
Em dropped an album at the same time this did, and....
Tom topped em on the charts.
Much Love! & Much appreciated...this is what depression and anxiety and the battle with addiction look like. Portrayed perfectly and beaten with the confidence we all need to find within ourselves!
Absolutely right!
I've just came across a guy called Ren his first record is called hi Ren..look him up on UA-cam...he's the next big stare..
He's talking about depression! Please look him up...his name is Ren..
@Steve Clarke ...Will do. I have not heard him yet but I have heard of him. I will go take a listen though! We play a lot of Tom Macdonald at the Veterans Club where I volunteer. This song resonated with so many of them. Some of these guys are a little tough to get through to but this song (& all Tom's songs #HOG) have been blessings as really impactful conversation starters! But I've heard this a LOT so Ren will be coming up!!! Thanks for the recommendation!!!
Facts Tom thinks beyond logic he’s smarter then most
Out of all the work that Nova has done, this is by far my favorite of hers. For her to do this in house with these visuals is amazing. HOG!
#HOGarmy
Tom talks about what most of us try to hide and ignore. Much respect for him talking about the hard stuff!
H.O.G. for life 😛🎵🎶❤️ Watch “Boombap “
I struggle with imposter syndrome. Everytime something good comes into my life, anytime I start to get ahead, that nagging voice in the back of my head starts up. "You're not good enough for this", "You don't deserve this", or "They're going to find out you're just a fraud, and kick you out". This song hits me deep.
I love this song, I relate to it 100%. When he said, "you told me to smell the roses but I burnt the whole bouquet!!!" was the best line ever.
EPIC Respect for Tom and his having the huevos to shine light on the battle that most of us fight in secret. 🔥🔥🔥
For anyone battling depression or anxiety, know that #HOG The Army and we are in your corner.
Our demons only have as much power as we give them.
#hangovergang forever
🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🏿🤘🏽
Great reaction!! I love seeing you go back to Tom when you do!!!
#HOG!!!
Great reaction and thoughts, you didn't rant, Tom provokes conversations - mission accomplished. #HOG UK 🇬🇧 here for it
Your great! Tom’s great!#HOG4LIFE
#creeksquad first #HOG too. He's a beast on the independent scene. Mad love for both of those dudes
Common sense isn't common anymore Ray, phones got smart while people got dumb. Love the reaction my guy. Keep on your grind!
Peanut butter M&M'S. Really enjoyed the reaction.
Dude.... what you said in the first 10 minutes of your reaction did more for me than my therapist did in 6 months!
I appreciate that i try my best to give my story and only can hope it i can help someone
Listening to you, I felt many emotions and you helped me so much I thought maybe just maybe a mental health therapist could help me if they spoke with this honesty.
Great stuff, kinda surprised you hadn't already done this.
Commenting to boost your algorithm.

Ray, you described the living inside your own head and paying the rent better than I've ever heard before. 👏
Funny, I think he's way off base in many ways.
What an amazing reaction. This channel is so fire. Great thoughts, deep thinking, real talk. Thank you man. Love 💯
I appreciate that
I appreciate you speaking truth and diving into mental health issues. Great breakdown!!
I Love this song! This is the song that introduced me to Tom! I've never looked back since! Awesome reaction! Thanks ❤️ Much Love! #Hangovergang #Nova Rockafeller #Best Rapper Ever
My thanks to you and Tom for explaining what addicts go through, even in Recovery.

A Tom song for each purpose.

I love yr react!! #HOGFAM
Loved your commentary, we're not the same. Em is Em and Tom is Tom, enough said. Killed it.
Rewatching with you ❤️💯❤️
If you haven't done "I Don't Care" it's a great song where Tom speaks about people's opinions of him and how he feels about it.
#hangovergang 🔥🔥❤❤❤❤🔥🔥#HOG4LIFE

'Why would I want a second Emn'm unless it comes out a package with nuts.' had me on the floor, man.😂

Thanks for your reaction. Have you bought his new albums... there's a part 2 to this one called Angels and Demons. It's fire.
I listen to Angeles and Demons in the car daily, Best Rapper Ever is my second favourite song from Tom, if Angeles and Demons had a music video it might overtake it.
Fire reaction 🔥love your rants, you have a true understanding of the mind💯 #HOG
I hope #TomMacDonald sees this one, man! Epic breakdown/rant. Much agreed!! Stay trUe!

Your comments in the last 4 minutes were a take that I never contemplated. Good job!
Thumbs up to you Ray. As always one of the realest most positive reactors on the planet. J-Hill the Ghost
7:28 you keep making me think of other songs like creature from Jelly Roll being trapped in your mind and free your mind En Vogue yeah I’m that old
So many layers to this song that is impossible to catch one even a multiple listens
This is my third video I’ve watched so far and I have to tell you , you are an awesome human! Thank you for your words and your videos! You speak what you feel and aren’t fake. I love it! Thank u

Great reaction brutha! HOG 4Life!

Your break down's are dope hey
You should check Tyson James - Bodies.
Don't forget about that part of depression which is irrationality. For instance, the bit about "...no one will sign you". Yet, Tom has plenty of label offers, but he knows he _cannot_ trust them.
Unless he meant no label offers where they weren't trying to screw him and shut him up. That does make sense, but I don't think that's what he meant.
Btw preach!!!!!
Exactly what NF said in outro if he cuts it off will he have nothing to write and rap about .
