I find it funny you got all upset over something true lol, Adam started rapping before Eminem or Shady was even a known artist, Adam was battle rapping before Shady got known or even found
@EA-dt8fh none of his early shit is out there , him and Mesus made an Album together back then , hence why they decided to make an Album together now and if you didn't know this about Adam then you don't really know Adam and should probably educate yourself js
Adam started rapping in the mid 90's before Em did so he isn't lying, not every white rapper was inspired by Em. Tom's love of hiphop came from biggie and tupac he was writing raps as a kid but didn't think he could do it because he didn't have the same experiences as the black rappers but when Em came out Tom saw that he could be white and still do this and so he did. LOL. Tom also hates the system and the government but he is about unity so he points out the Hypcrocy of it all.
@@EA-dt8fhIt seems like you are saying Adam should have heard of Eminem when he released Infinite. Do you know how successful that album was? 😂 1999 is a more reasonable year to say Adam would have heard of Eminem. That would put Adam at 19. Adam and Mesus were rapping together in high school.
@@DavidWalton-g8w that’s actually not at all what I’m saying. I actually find it highly likely that Adam didn’t know about Shady back then, since infinite sold like less than a thousand copies from what I can remember. And, Shady didn’t reach mainstream popularity until Aftermath in 1999 (?? not 100% certain of the year). I was referring to the first line in the comment. “Adam started rapping in the mid 90’s before Em did” -so, knowing Shady dropped Infinite independently in the mid 90’s, I guess I just don’t believe that Adam started rapping before Shady did. Not that it matters even a little bit.
So Adam and Em are only 8 years apart in age, and in that time, we didn't have the exposure to music we do now. Adam started rapping before he heard of EM. Tom, on the other hand, was inspired by EM and, of course, Tupac, who is the 1st rapper Tom heard. because he's younger than Adam and Mesus.
Tom literally has a song called The System. He may "lean" right, but his "political rap" is all about the people against the government. His songs are about uniting the people to fight against those who are dividing us.
It seems lately that anybody who isnt extremely left is said to be on the right. Obama would be a right wing extremist to rhe people on the left if they read some of his speeches and didn't know who said it.
He didn't say he wasn't inspired by Eminem. He said he was rapping BEFORE he HEARD about Eminem. That's a BIG difference. He probably said it because many people believe that all white rappers are copying Eminem.
Really liked this reaction man. I love that I got to hear you hear Tom for the first time and recognized his talent, kept it 100. You are gonna love "No Response", "Don't Look Down", "I Don't Care" and if you appreciate vulnerability and honesty when it comes to addiction "Church" & "Sober", "maybe "Withdrawls" Adam's Shady statement has nothing to do with not getting ANY influence from Em. Maybe in later years after Em popped. He's simply saying that he was already rapping before he heard of Em. Here for this journey. New sub. Let's go!
About Tom, I think "Political" is really the wrong word, if anything I think his music leans more towards social commentary. He's a non-partisan that leans right, and his handful of "political" songs are rather against the way our government works, not for either side. Liked & Subbed for more if you plan on checking more of Tom or Adam
Oh… 😂 I believe it. Check out my more recent reactions and look thru comments ! I went from being hated to being loved and I’ve been on a HOG family roller coaster ever since this video But… I’m a real one I will admit when I was wrong and I was wrong because I was ignorant
He's from Southside Chicago. He learned his rap from the OGs - his point is, while Eminem opened the door not ALL while rappers were influenced by Shady... He was a Pac, Biggie, etc fan.
any of Adams music shows Eminem wasn't an influence, the first ever album he got was ODB cd , I watched the whole video and appreciate your input and the apologie but before you start saying stuff about someone it's best to educate yourself on who they really are instead of making assumptions.
I’ll check it out… I don’t know if you’ve seen the shook one’s reaction I just did but I’m rocking with Adam. You and the fans put me on. I didn’t know
@@thoughtsofapredicatewinner Maybe this will help you... Tom's catalog in Order...And some info on him. Tom's past is not what you'd expect. He's been through some sh*t. You'll learn as you go thru his videos. He's completely open/transparent about his life. He's got a huge catalog and it's worth the journey! I have a list of his work in order. If you start from the beginning, you will see his art developing over time and the troubles he fought through to get to where he is today. His early music has a different sound and the videos are cinematic. He has about 10 albums from when he was young but he focuses on clean Tom. You'll see the transformation from addict to being sober. He helps start the hard conversations that need to be had. He is highly intelligent and super talented! Nova Rockafeller, his girlfriend, shoots all of his videos. She's wicked talented, as well, in her own right as an artist, rapper, visionary, genius!! Tom is "independent" in every sense of the word!!!! It's literally Tom, Nova, Tom's Sister Jenna, Jenna's husband Corey, Tom's mom and dad, Friend Evan Morgan does some editing and Friend Jared Potter doing some VFX. That's the team Enjoy the Journey!

I subbed and here for your Tom journey. #HOGFAM ✌️ I am 52 years old and followed underground and mainstream rap all my life. Tom's the real deal. And im a Tom/Eminem stan and know all abt 106 and park. And yes, you can appreciate both. No response (to his haters) Riot (to haters) This house (to haters) Dont look down (to haters) Canceled (to haters) Im sorry (apology Tom style to haters) Dear Slim (His ode to Eminem-He actually bought the beat to use for the song, so it says produced by Eminem at intro) Boom bap 101 ( skillz) NO GOOD BASTARDS (country/rock rap) Ghost (hit song) Superman (mellow and makes u think) Also, Nova Rockerfella is his girl. Produces all his videos. She is also a rapper. For Nova, check out: Problem (skills) Hey you (in her head) Gang gang (fun) Chrome (nostalgic) Many more but enjoy.
Ok guys.. I do wanna say… I did end up enjoying this song and giving them their props - I think a lot of yall started this video and commented before the end
Your comments about the politics, and stirring up the pot, I understand. I truly do, but sometimes the pot needs to be stirred. I'm more heavy into politics, so I love that there are artists on the right fighting back. That's just me, though. Tom does have a lot of music that isn't political. One that I really like is Riot. HOG is extremely loyal and won't steer you wrong if you ask for no political songs. (Most titles are obvious anyway). If you get curious as to why we are so loyal to Tom, check out My Fans. The whole 18 mins. You'll figure out why fairly quickly. Have fun going down the rabbit hole!
3:38 off the wall??? LOTS OF PEOPLE WERE INTO RAP WAY BEFORE SLIM. I was. All my friends were. Rap was around for decades before Em. Why some people Em was the birth of rap is beyond me. SMH
i started in rap with icp and they were out way before em, now i have a hate love with em i like lots his stuff but i also dislike just as much but thats just my personal self. tom, ren, dax, adam, strugle jennings, cris webby, and tyson james are all newer (past 10 year to some i just started a few weeks ago, and then falling in reverse just came out kicking and im like wow so many ppl are doing some good stuff lately.
I had rarely ever heard any white rappers say they weeent influenced by Em… I’ve learned a lot over these past few days in these different reactions. Thank you for watching and schooling me 🙏
If you want relatable songs, I'd recommend from Tom "Sober", "Best Rapper Ever", "Stronger Version" (not rap), "God Mode", "Fighter" to name a few. Most of what people know of Tom are his political songs, but that's not all he does. "Dear Rappers" is what blew him up, so if you do listen to more Tom songs I'd recommend starting with that one. Edit: PS: Liked and subscribed because of the apology, thank you for admitting and apologizing the bias.
Adam was born in Chicago and battle rapped in streets on the South Side when he was young. He was never around white culture and em wasn't even a known rapper when he was growing up. You should check out more of Tom's music. He's a really diverse artist who speaks a lot of raw truth in his songs.
Exactly! ACal is 44 and Eminem is 51. Em came on the scene in 99 at 26 years old. ACal was battle rapping in Southside Chicago as a teen. Eminem was never part of his influences and ACal has said that many times.
@@cindyherring1998I’ve seen a few of yall in the comments tell me about God mode… I’ll do a reaction to that next and I promise less bias even though I really praised Tom in this video and Adam for the most part. A lot of people just didn’t make it that far.
Suggestion: Check out Tom interview with THE FIghter and the kid podcast, and the Dopey Podcast with Tom they both have alot of insight about him, not to mention the Before they were Famous and Famous interviews. I think you might find them interesting.
Toms political rap has never been one-sided. You should really do your own research and not listen to others' opinions. Tom has always tried to unite everyone and fight the system.
You have already addressed everything on the other video but I wanted to give you a few songs about Tom's addiction and how he's come out of it songs, I think you might appreciate. Stronger version Scars Balloons Withdraws Don't look down Angels Best Rapper ever I can't sleep I don't care D.R.U.G Bad news Sober Ashes I wish Hang on Castles Hangman
I started watching your videos recently and am just seeing this "first" reaction to Tom, Adam and Mesus today. It is nice to know that you have now become more open to the message that all three of these gentlemen have to share, even if it is not always the same as your message or the way you would tell it. I found Tom in 2021 at a time when the world seemed insane and I felt I was the only one who thought so. He and the HOG family were a lifeline as his music made people stop and think about the contradictions and hypocrisy in today's society. Our current world needs that more than ever. I have watched young people wake up to new ideas simply from watching Tom's videos and that is powerful. As much as we we would all prefer to simply live our lives and not talk about politics or society, if we bury our heads in the sand, then we have nobody to blame but ourselves when we suffocate. And unfortunately I think the world as we know it will be forever lost as well. I also discovered NF through watching Tom reactions and I now LOVE NF. I was fortunate enough to see him during his Hope tour with my husband and granddaughter. Both are truth tellers in different ways and I appreciate them for their honesty and artistry. I never even listened to rap until I discovered Tom which opened up a new world musically as well, including listening to reactions. Now he and Nova (and NF) are talked about in my house like they are family. Enjoy your journey.
"I miss when hip hop was against the system" Welcome to Tom MacDonald lol. Hes not so much a political rapper as he is an antiwoke/f the system rapper. Woke people and leftists get real offended by that though. Should check out his songs called The System and The Machine that really show that. Majority of his cataloge has nothing to do with politics though...he raps on mental health, addiction struggles, etc more.
Tom's Music Video > Names < at 46 yrs of age, 2 yrs ago - Healed Places Inside of Me I Honestly was Unaware of Still Hurting, Pretty Please React to > Names
You probably already know this, but Tom Mcdonald bought a beat from em off an auction and made a song dedicated to em called Dear Slim My wife doesn't rock with Tom, but she loved that song. Just a thought.
To be fair brother, Tom's political music isn't to stir the pot, it's more to just start a conversation and maybe look at things from a different viewpoint. But if it ain't for you then it ain't for you. I'll never diss someone based on their opinion. I love Tom's music but not every song is for me either.
With the emenim and aftermath verse Adam was born in 1980 and aftermath started in 1996 and Em didnt blow up till 99 so there is your reason for the Em line. That makes Adam 19 and had been rapping years before that
I don’t understand why people have such a problem with the political music I get it. It’s not for everybody but this shit needs to be said Tom is out there putting the shit out there which needs to happen. Tom is doing what he should be doing so I don’t understand why everybody has a problem with his political music. Tom is opening peoples eyes and waking people up, which needs to happen.
@@thoughtsofapredicatewinner Tom has been a journey the last 6-7 yrs. He has political type songs calling out the nonsense in this world. He has love songs, inspirational songs, songs about addiction and real life things people have gone through. I’ve watched him grow as an artist since the song Fake Woke came out. He’s independent artist and does everything himself with the help of his girlfriend Nova who does the videos and editing. Some good inspirational and deep meaning songs include Fighter, Scars, Sober, Cancer, God Mode, In God We Trust, Church, Race Wars, Ghost, and the list goes on and on. He’s accumulated over 50 Billboard #1s now.
@@thoughtsofapredicatewinner Tom is a Jedi when it comes to trolling songs too. His latest one which dropped last Friday is called Everybody Needs Me. It’s hilarious, it will make you laugh.
I think Tom is an artist that you will grow to appreciate & respect for his creativity & work ethic - but many of his songs won’t be your cup of tea. He has several songs that i think you’ll like though. A lot of reactors go through his entire playlist and take “the journey.” In my opinion, the entire journey isn’t necessarily for you. I think you should check out the highlights of the journey based on recommendations. Some of Tom’s best songs have never been released with a music video & are hidden within his albums so they remain mostly unknown. I’m pretty sure he does that on purpose as a gift to his fans. By the way, there’s obviously nothing wrong with not liking all his music. Everyone has different tastes & opinions.
Mesus is a true Christian. He's a good dude, I think you will really like him once you dive in more. PS Mesus and Adam and Tom all like NF. Mesus did an NF remix of Clouds.
As much as you don’t , You Missed by Tom McDonald. His girlfriend was crying, he was. In shock & mad at what happened. Just watch you don’t need to do a reaction, just listen to what he said. I’m 56, I’ve watched several rappers.Tom is edgy, but brutally honest. As am I, which is why I love his style. He’s a good young man & Im proud of him.
Appreciate the honesty. Don’t appreciate the “some other country bumpkin” lol but hey… 2 things 1) Mesus =Jesus in me. Since you’re a follower of Jesus thought I’d clarify that. 2) Since you ain’t like my verse on this but you’re an NF fan would encourage you to check out my “Clouds” remix on my channel. Maybe I’ll redeem myself lol Blessings 🙏
ps, you mentioned a lot about music that is about fighting your inner demons. My songs Death Threats and Musick are both about that and using music to do so
Oh Man U stumbled across the first one… my reactions are real, I don’t edit! But the fans have schooled me since this one, and I’m excited to get into your music. I talked with the fans about you on live yesterday (in a way better light) I just didn’t know at the time dawg… truth is I heard what everyone says about Tom and Adam and I let it effect my bias before I even started. I salute anyone in Christianity that stands on values… I hope you will accept my apology for being judgemental and ignorant! And thank you for taking the time to watch. I will check out the clouds remix and do a first time reaction to it!
Just a heads up Adam and Mesus are from Chicago and Tom is definitely not country. These are just rappers, Adam is a little country but more gangster rap than anything
This EM thing is crazy, I don’t know a lot about these guys but I do watch both political and their non political music. Adam Calhoun was born in 1980 (he said in this song) EM first release was 1995. I don’t know if I heard that song. I think Adam was saying he did not start rapping because of EM. A lot of white rappers are told that they started rapping because of him or trying to be like him. He did not say Vanilla Ice or Beastie Boys. There is so much more to the late 80s early 90s that younger people did not know. When rap became mainstream everyone enjoyed everyone. All kids wanted to be the favorite rapper no matter what age, sex, or color they were. ……….The least one of these 3 I know about is Mesus, but to say his doesn’t resonate to is mad. He is a Christian like you have said and changed his life around like you said you did.
Yes that was a controversy about adam uses the N word in his song Racism,he worked it out with Stevie knight. I. find it a little crazy all are so upset he uses the N word but nobody speak about the next verse ,,but what about black folk? Raise their kids right, every night mom and dad are home Huntin' for a job, not cryin' about a privilege Cryin' out to God, stop the violence where we livin',, but its ok your channel,your opinions no disrespect 🌸👍
Imagine being a white rapper and all you can hear is people trying to compare you to someone that had no influence on your sound. He is stating he's been rapping before he even knew that Eminem Marshall Mathers shady existed
Ppl hate on tom bc they dont like the kind of music he makes so they come up with any insult possible most commonly "hes trash" but he can rap like that fr💀
You should really look into things before you give your opinion. Adam was not influenced by Em it was Old Dirty Bastard. Adam is a real person that is why fans respect him
Have you ever listened to Chris Webby? Heard of a UK artist named Ren? They just put out an amazing song called Baggage that you might want to check out. Some people only know Webby for his Raw Thoughts stuff which is political but this song, Baggage, Def isn't and both artists are super talented, tho Ren is the one blowing up for the past 2 years. both independent artists
There is a BIG difference between stiring the pot just to stir it and stiring it because its necessary. If your views align even sorta witj Adam and Tom then you notice how sentitive this newer generation is ... everyone is so afraid to stir the pot that our country has one foot in the communist ditch. We need people to stir the pot and say what eveyone is afraid to say. Besides ...thats what rap used to be about before it became drugs, and hoes.
Please don’t call Mesus a country bumpkin if you don’t even know him He’s a fellow brother In Christ please be respectful His wife is a Vietnamese refugee who came over when she was ten He’s funny and a really cool guy
A real rapper tells about life yes even if it is political. What you are used to hearing are not rappers. These are people who quickly fall behind their masks.... Good luck to everyone.
Shady came out in 1999 or 2000 all Adam is saying he was rapping back in the early 90s. Shady was first one to hit it big. I listened to rap way back NWO was hot when I was in high school.
It’s hard to remove bias, but I think you opened up. Sorry you got jumped on in the comments. Usually Tom’s given flack about references to Em. He shows how much Em influenced him in Dear Slim. Adam and Tom show his influence in Black and White. Thanks for being honest. Subbed for your reactions
Adam is a beast and he ain't "tryin" to do nothing! He's who he is. He's a gangster rapper. Go down the rabbit hole before u judge him. He has a ton of music
U a lil late to the party! Keep watching!! With all due respect my next 3 videos are all after learning and if u make it to the end of this one you’ll see the love I showed them
"I'm being biased" Me: "I appreciate the self awareness." I was slightly annoyed by the assumptions you were using to judge the song, but I respect how you caught yourself and gave the music a fair chance.
Did everyone forget about 3rd bass, beastie boys, snow, ect.... Not far fetched to think he couldve been influenced by a white rapper other than em.....my first rap album i bought was 3 rd bass derelicts of dialect.....way before eminem. And im younger than 2/3 of these guys. Btw i had some reservations when i was introduced to Tom but over time he solidified that hes reallly speaking from the heart and saying real shit which made the transition to Acal alot smoother.
What you heard about Adam and Tom is from the hater bandwagon, who never even really listened to the lyrics. They hear one line and 'REEEEEEEE!' Hes a racist, or a bigot. Those people have nothing better to do with their lives than try to make other people miserable. Tom has many sociopolitical type of songs, and very rarely will you hear him picking a side, he points out topics that are, well, harmful to society. Tom calls these types of people obsessed fans, who hate on him so much they will watch his videos and then post hateful comments, regardless of the lyrics. Adam had a song where he used the n word, but it's the context that is important, and the people he has around him in that video are friends if I am not mistaken, however, he lived that life. He isn't representing an environment he was never a part of. The song is called 'Racism'. #ACal, #HangOverGang #Mesus
U seem like you came in here acting like u were going to be unbiased yet u came in here with opinions about something that someone else had a problem with. They have millions of people who love their music, billboards, and sold millions of cds. I think u r the one with the problem.
If u keep watching, I apologize for that. I don’t edit my videos - my reaction is my reaction. It’s important for the world to have some realness in it. I have since been taught by the fans and I’ve made a few more reactions to these guys and my mind is changed. If I would’ve edited that out, it wouldn’t be visible in real time which I think would make it less special Thank you for watching! I think you’d like my newer reactions to them!
Some people just don’t like to see the truth or hear it !! Your generation is so full of themselves!! Running on feelings!! See yall hate cause of feelings before yall do anything and that makes for ignorance!!!
I watched Gode mode and had to go back for this one 😂 Yup, biases can make you hear things that aren't said. Interesting. But you're a reall one for noticing and admitting it. The song with the N word is called Ras!sm. The word has a real purpose in the song. Check it out, it's a good song with a good massage.❤
Adam has many times given Em credit for what he's accomplished, how he opened doors and minds and that he's a goat, but he didn't inspire him to start rapping. He had other inspiration. It's not dis towars Em, just a fact.
I think Adam was just saying he started rapping before he heard of Eminem, which is probably accurate, he didn't say Em NEVER inspired him - he just said he STARTED rapping before he heard of Em. He is saying he loved rap so much he was already rapping. I understand what you're saying though, I just think they get tired of being compared to Em all the time and not being judged on their own merit alone. That's what I take from it anyway lol. Tom actually bought an NFT beat from Em for 100k during an auction and wrote a song called "Dear Slim" giving Em his flowers. Tom actually has said several times that Em is the reason Tom started rapping.
And it’s not him coming out here and saying go vote for Trump. That’s not what he’s doing at all. He is telling you what the government has been doing to you since she was a kid to all of us and everybody needs to open up their goddamn eyes and see itand that’s what Tom does. That’s what his music does and I love it and he needs to continue to do what he’s doing.😅
I think there's a piece you are missing in Adam's verse. The internet has not always existed. By the time some of heard artists they wouldn't play on the radio on the regular, they had been destroying in locally or regionally. I had never heard of em until shady and I've been an r&b and hip-hop head since the 80s
Adam: "I don't understand why I can't use the N word. I've used it my whole life growing up. Why do I have to stop using it?" You: "I don't understand why you're using it. Using that word will just cause problems." Me: "And THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call miscommunication and lack of understanding."😅
Go listen To Tom MacDonald’s song Chrome. Adam has a verse on that song and he lists everyone who inspired him and Eminem was not on the list. That doesn’t mean Adam and Tom don’t like Em’s music. They do. They just don’t share his political beliefs. But they don’t hold that against Eminem.
Check out Tom's song God Mode if you want to learn more about him. Don't believe what you hear, he has way more non political songs than political and all songs are inspiring or have a real message.

Facts!
When did he start rapping? Can’t find anything about him except the release in 2017. I gotta know now 😂
He was a battle rapper in Chicago @@EA-dt8fh
@EA-dt8fh none of his early shit is out there , him and Mesus made an Album together back then , hence why they decided to make an Album together now and if you didn't know this about Adam then you don't really know Adam and should probably educate yourself js
@@EA-dt8fhAdam and Mesus started rapping together like way back in their high-school days.
Adam started rapping in the mid 90's before Em did so he isn't lying, not every white rapper was inspired by Em. Tom's love of hiphop came from biggie and tupac he was writing raps as a kid but didn't think he could do it because he didn't have the same experiences as the black rappers but when Em came out Tom saw that he could be white and still do this and so he did. LOL. Tom also hates the system and the government but he is about unity so he points out the Hypcrocy of it all.
Well… I mean I ain’t saying you’re wrong and I might be a bit Stanny here, but for example Slim released Infinite in 96, & it was produced in 95-96.
@@EA-dt8fhIt seems like you are saying Adam should have heard of Eminem when he released Infinite. Do you know how successful that album was? 😂
1999 is a more reasonable year to say Adam would have heard of Eminem. That would put Adam at 19. Adam and Mesus were rapping together in high school.
@@DavidWalton-g8w that’s actually not at all what I’m saying. I actually find it highly likely that Adam didn’t know about Shady back then, since infinite sold like less than a thousand copies from what I can remember. And, Shady didn’t reach mainstream popularity until Aftermath in 1999 (?? not 100% certain of the year).
I was referring to the first line in the comment. “Adam started rapping in the mid 90’s before Em did” -so, knowing Shady dropped Infinite independently in the mid 90’s, I guess I just don’t believe that Adam started rapping before Shady did. Not that it matters even a little bit.
So Adam and Em are only 8 years apart in age, and in that time, we didn't have the exposure to music we do now. Adam started rapping before he heard of EM. Tom, on the other hand, was inspired by EM and, of course, Tupac, who is the 1st rapper Tom heard. because he's younger than Adam and Mesus.
Tom literally has a song called The System. He may "lean" right, but his "political rap" is all about the people against the government. His songs are about uniting the people to fight against those who are dividing us.
It seems lately that anybody who isnt extremely left is said to be on the right.
Obama would be a right wing extremist to rhe people on the left if they read some of his speeches and didn't know who said it.
100% ❤❤❤
Gotta treat yourself to TOMs song
👇
BEST RAPPER EVER 🔥
He didn't say he wasn't inspired by Eminem. He said he was rapping BEFORE he HEARD about Eminem. That's a BIG difference.
He probably said it because many people believe that all white rappers are copying Eminem.
Really liked this reaction man. I love that I got to hear you hear Tom for the first time and recognized his talent, kept it 100. You are gonna love "No Response", "Don't Look Down", "I Don't Care" and if you appreciate vulnerability and honesty when it comes to addiction "Church" & "Sober", "maybe "Withdrawls"
Adam's Shady statement has nothing to do with not getting ANY influence from Em. Maybe in later years after Em popped. He's simply saying that he was already rapping before he heard of Em.
Here for this journey. New sub. Let's go!
About Tom, I think "Political" is really the wrong word, if anything I think his music leans more towards social commentary. He's a non-partisan that leans right, and his handful of "political" songs are rather against the way our government works, not for either side.
Liked & Subbed for more if you plan on checking more of Tom or Adam
Great explanation!
I agree
Learning
Believe it or not, these three on this track have a lot. Probably more fans that are over 40 than any other age range
Oh… 😂 I believe it. Check out my more recent reactions and look thru comments ! I went from being hated to being loved and I’ve been on a HOG family roller coaster ever since this video
But… I’m a real one I will admit when I was wrong and I was wrong because I was ignorant
Also, Adam and Stevie Knight had a great conversation about his Racism song. You should watch that video.
He's from Southside Chicago. He learned his rap from the OGs - his point is, while Eminem opened the door not ALL while rappers were influenced by Shady... He was a Pac, Biggie, etc fan.
If you had to sell me on Adam with a different song, what would it be? I’ll check him out further
any of Adams music shows Eminem wasn't an influence, the first ever album he got was ODB cd , I watched the whole video and appreciate your input and the apologie but before you start saying stuff about someone it's best to educate yourself on who they really are instead of making assumptions.
Shook Ones is a good song and he and Tom did two albums together. Chrome is good. There are a lot of good songs.
@@IndianaJane123 they rapped over the shook ones beat or something different?
@thoughtsofapredicatewinner it's Adam alone and yes, he rapped over the shook ones beat.
Adam said the N Word in a song call Racism and was doing the whole song about stereotypes
It’s a great song & message
@@AK_J.Reed24 I agree
I’ll check it out… I don’t know if you’ve seen the shook one’s reaction I just did but I’m rocking with Adam. You and the fans put me on. I didn’t know
@@thoughtsofapredicatewinner nah I’ll have to check out the reaction
@@RossGold_ I appreciate it! I’ve been enjoying this wormhole all the hog fam has sent me down!
Chrome tells you who Adam was influenced.
I’m in an Adam Calhoun and Tom Macdonald roller coaster after all this! Gonna check it out and react soon
@@thoughtsofapredicatewinner Maybe this will help you... Tom's catalog in Order...And some info on him.
Tom's past is not what you'd expect. He's been through some sh*t. You'll learn as you go thru his videos. He's completely open/transparent about his life. He's got a huge catalog and it's worth the journey! I have a list of his work in order. If you start from the beginning, you will see his art developing over time and the troubles he fought through to get to where he is today. His early music has a different sound and the videos are cinematic. He has about 10 albums from when he was young but he focuses on clean Tom. You'll see the transformation from addict to being sober. He helps start the hard conversations that need to be had. He is highly intelligent and super talented! Nova Rockafeller, his girlfriend, shoots all of his videos. She's wicked talented, as well, in her own right as an artist, rapper, visionary, genius!! Tom is "independent" in every sense of the word!!!! It's literally Tom, Nova, Tom's Sister Jenna, Jenna's husband Corey, Tom's mom and dad, Friend Evan Morgan does some editing and Friend Jared Potter doing some VFX. That's the team
Enjoy the Journey!

I am 52 years old and followed underground and mainstream rap all my life. Tom's the real deal. And im a Tom/Eminem stan and know all abt 106 and park. And yes, you can appreciate both.
No response (to his haters)
Riot (to haters)
This house (to haters)
Dont look down (to haters)
Canceled (to haters)
Im sorry (apology Tom style to haters)
Dear Slim (His ode to Eminem-He actually bought the beat to use for the song, so it says produced by Eminem at intro)
Boom bap 101 ( skillz)
NO GOOD BASTARDS (country/rock rap)
Ghost (hit song)
Superman (mellow and makes u think)
Also, Nova Rockerfella is his girl. Produces all his videos. She is also a rapper.
For Nova, check out:

Many more but enjoy.
Ok guys.. I do wanna say… I did end up enjoying this song and giving them their props - I think a lot of yall started this video and commented before the end
They absolutely did exactly that, they watched up until they couldn’t handle someone’s honest reaction then commented.
Mesus has a bible verse on the back of his shirt hes a Christian rapper
Normalize that word and it will loose its negative power
That was the environment ACAL grew up in he is accepted by his people live and let live
We absolutely know about 106 and park battles 😂😂
Your comments about the politics, and stirring up the pot, I understand. I truly do, but sometimes the pot needs to be stirred. I'm more heavy into politics, so I love that there are artists on the right fighting back. That's just me, though. Tom does have a lot of music that isn't political. One that I really like is Riot. HOG is extremely loyal and won't steer you wrong if you ask for no political songs. (Most titles are obvious anyway). If you get curious as to why we are so loyal to Tom, check out My Fans. The whole 18 mins. You'll figure out why fairly quickly. Have fun going down the rabbit hole!
3:38 off the wall??? LOTS OF PEOPLE WERE INTO RAP WAY BEFORE SLIM. I was. All my friends were. Rap was around for decades before Em. Why some people Em was the birth of rap is beyond me. SMH
i started in rap with icp and they were out way before em, now i have a hate love with em i like lots his stuff but i also dislike just as much but thats just my personal self. tom, ren, dax, adam, strugle jennings, cris webby, and tyson james are all newer (past 10 year to some i just started a few weeks ago, and then falling in reverse just came out kicking and im like wow so many ppl are doing some good stuff lately.
I had rarely ever heard any white rappers say they weeent influenced by Em… I’ve learned a lot over these past few days in these different reactions. Thank you for watching and schooling me 🙏
That part!
I would highly recommend god mode by Tom Macdonald
"Only thing im scared of is GOD and the old me"
@@Jodi_Johnson I ❤️ Jesus! He really is a great lyricist!
@@cindyherring1998 agree!
-on Old E
They all snapped on this 💯
If you want relatable songs, I'd recommend from Tom "Sober", "Best Rapper Ever", "Stronger Version" (not rap), "God Mode", "Fighter" to name a few. Most of what people know of Tom are his political songs, but that's not all he does. "Dear Rappers" is what blew him up, so if you do listen to more Tom songs I'd recommend starting with that one.
Edit: PS: Liked and subscribed because of the apology, thank you for admitting and apologizing the bias.
@@TexArizocan I’ll check them out!!
Thanks for the sub! Appreciate you
Gonna do God mode next … a few of yall have told me to check out God mode… incoming
Adam was born in Chicago and battle rapped in streets on the South Side when he was young. He was never around white culture and em wasn't even a known rapper when he was growing up.
You should check out more of Tom's music. He's a really diverse artist who speaks a lot of raw truth in his songs.
Exactly! ACal is 44 and Eminem is 51. Em came on the scene in 99 at 26 years old. ACal was battle rapping in Southside Chicago as a teen. Eminem was never part of his influences and ACal has said that many times.
@@SubNano144 I appreciate the info! I didn’t know that, it sounds crazy but I believe it! What’s next on the Tom Macdonald docket? Where do I start?
@@thoughtsofapredicatewinnerI'd start at the beginning. The song that blew him up. Dear Rappers.
@@thoughtsofapredicatewinnerIf you don't care for political go thru Tom's catalog and choose from a variety. I like God Mode
@@cindyherring1998I’ve seen a few of yall in the comments tell me about God mode… I’ll do a reaction to that next and I promise less bias even though I really praised Tom in this video and Adam for the most part. A lot of people just didn’t make it that far.
Glad you liked Tom's part!
#HangovergangGermany
100% we absolutely did used to watch 106 and park
Suggestion: Check out Tom interview with THE FIghter and the kid podcast, and the Dopey Podcast with Tom they both have alot of insight about him, not to mention the Before they were Famous and Famous interviews. I think you might find them interesting.
It's about their past demons and they don't want to look back at where they've been + they all have come so far!
Toms political rap has never been one-sided. You should really do your own research and not listen to others' opinions. Tom has always tried to unite everyone and fight the system.
You have already addressed everything on the other video but I wanted to give you a few songs about Tom's addiction and how he's come out of it songs, I think you might appreciate.

It's not easy to admit bias. Shout out for all of it and an open mind. Sincerely. I see you.
I started watching your videos recently and am just seeing this "first" reaction to Tom, Adam and Mesus today. It is nice to know that you have now become more open to the message that all three of these gentlemen have to share, even if it is not always the same as your message or the way you would tell it. I found Tom in 2021 at a time when the world seemed insane and I felt I was the only one who thought so. He and the HOG family were a lifeline as his music made people stop and think about the contradictions and hypocrisy in today's society. Our current world needs that more than ever. I have watched young people wake up to new ideas simply from watching Tom's videos and that is powerful. As much as we we would all prefer to simply live our lives and not talk about politics or society, if we bury our heads in the sand, then we have nobody to blame but ourselves when we suffocate. And unfortunately I think the world as we know it will be forever lost as well. I also discovered NF through watching Tom reactions and I now LOVE NF. I was fortunate enough to see him during his Hope tour with my husband and granddaughter. Both are truth tellers in different ways and I appreciate them for their honesty and artistry. I never even listened to rap until I discovered Tom which opened up a new world musically as well, including listening to reactions. Now he and Nova (and NF) are talked about in my house like they are family. Enjoy your journey.
"I miss when hip hop was against the system"
Welcome to Tom MacDonald lol. Hes not so much a political rapper as he is an antiwoke/f the system rapper. Woke people and leftists get real offended by that though. Should check out his songs called The System and The Machine that really show that. Majority of his cataloge has nothing to do with politics though...he raps on mental health, addiction struggles, etc more.
Best Rapper Ever. You'll love it. Literally battling his demons
I like watching the progression as your mind was opening. I’m glad you might have found a few new artists to explore
More to come! Thanks for the input and watching!
Tom's Music Video > Names < at 46 yrs of age, 2 yrs ago - Healed Places Inside of Me I Honestly was Unaware of Still Hurting, Pretty Please React to > Names
Great reaction bro keep it up Tom killed it
You probably already know this, but Tom Mcdonald bought a beat from em off an auction and made a song dedicated to em called Dear Slim
My wife doesn't rock with Tom, but she loved that song. Just a thought.
Thanks 🧡 Much Love! #Acal #Mesus #Tom MacDonald #Hangovergang #Mirrors
To be fair brother, Tom's political music isn't to stir the pot, it's more to just start a conversation and maybe look at things from a different viewpoint. But if it ain't for you then it ain't for you. I'll never diss someone based on their opinion. I love Tom's music but not every song is for me either.
With the emenim and aftermath verse Adam was born in 1980 and aftermath started in 1996 and Em didnt blow up till 99 so there is your reason for the Em line. That makes Adam 19 and had been rapping years before that
I don’t understand why people have such a problem with the political music I get it. It’s not for everybody but this shit needs to be said Tom is out there putting the shit out there which needs to happen. Tom is doing what he should be doing so I don’t understand why everybody has a problem with his political music. Tom is opening peoples eyes and waking people up, which needs to happen.
You need to go down the rabbit hole of Tom MacDonald. His videos and songs will surprise you
@@davedavenport7351 I mean if it’s anything like this ? Yeah man tell me what’s next
@@thoughtsofapredicatewinner Tom has been a journey the last 6-7 yrs. He has political type songs calling out the nonsense in this world. He has love songs, inspirational songs, songs about addiction and real life things people have gone through. I’ve watched him grow as an artist since the song Fake Woke came out. He’s independent artist and does everything himself with the help of his girlfriend Nova who does the videos and editing.
Some good inspirational and deep meaning songs include Fighter, Scars, Sober, Cancer, God Mode, In God We Trust, Church, Race Wars, Ghost, and the list goes on and on. He’s accumulated over 50 Billboard #1s now.
@@thoughtsofapredicatewinner Tom is a Jedi when it comes to trolling songs too. His latest one which dropped last Friday is called Everybody Needs Me. It’s hilarious, it will make you laugh.
I think Tom is an artist that you will grow to appreciate & respect for his creativity & work ethic - but many of his songs won’t be your cup of tea. He has several songs that i think you’ll like though. A lot of reactors go through his entire playlist and take “the journey.” In my opinion, the entire journey isn’t necessarily for you. I think you should check out the highlights of the journey based on recommendations. Some of Tom’s best songs have never been released with a music video & are hidden within his albums so they remain mostly unknown. I’m pretty sure he does that on purpose as a gift to his fans. By the way, there’s obviously nothing wrong with not liking all his music. Everyone has different tastes & opinions.
Mesus is a true Christian. He's a good dude, I think you will really like him once you dive in more. PS Mesus and Adam and Tom all like NF. Mesus did an NF remix of Clouds.
For Adam,
Die Tonight w/ Upchurch
Rap Shxt
Shut up w/ big Murph

Tombstone
That'll get you started 😊
When artists pay homage to things or artists their fans may not know about… it inspires them to do research and learn about it.
Please check out A-Cal and Mesus song Dying. It's a little old but it's very relatable to me and maybe you. Keep Grinding Brother

As much as you don’t
, You Missed by Tom McDonald. His girlfriend was crying, he was. In shock & mad at what happened. Just watch you don’t need to do a reaction, just listen to what he said. I’m 56, I’ve watched several rappers.Tom is edgy, but brutally honest. As am I, which is why I love his style. He’s a good young man & Im proud of him.
Appreciate the honesty. Don’t appreciate the “some other country bumpkin” lol but hey…
2 things 1) Mesus =Jesus in me. Since you’re a follower of Jesus thought I’d clarify that.
2) Since you ain’t like my verse on this but you’re an NF fan would encourage you to check out my “Clouds” remix on my channel. Maybe I’ll redeem myself lol
Blessings 🙏
ps, you mentioned a lot about music that is about fighting your inner demons. My songs Death Threats and Musick are both about that and using music to do so
Oh Man U stumbled across the first one… my reactions are real, I don’t edit!
But the fans have schooled me since this one, and I’m excited to get into your music. I talked with the fans about you on live yesterday (in a way better light)
I just didn’t know at the time dawg… truth is I heard what everyone says about Tom and Adam and I let it effect my bias before I even started.
I salute anyone in Christianity that stands on values… I hope you will accept my apology for being judgemental and ignorant! And thank you for taking the time to watch.
I will check out the clouds remix and do a first time reaction to it!
Musick is 🔥. One of the songs that turned me onto his music. That and Freepression which literally saved my life.
@@kevink1057 thanks for the info
Adam is raw & real - this is a rapper 🦅🔥🦅🔥🔥🦅🔥🔥🔥🦅
Mesus is good as well. Check out his catalogue. Each have their own style - JamWayne is another with his own style.
Don't ever trust what you hear when feelings are involved, find out first hand! HOG fam in da house 🔥

Just a heads up Adam and Mesus are from Chicago and Tom is definitely not country. These are just rappers, Adam is a little country but more gangster rap than anything
This EM thing is crazy, I don’t know a lot about these guys but I do watch both political and their non political music. Adam Calhoun was born in 1980 (he said in this song) EM first release was 1995. I don’t know if I heard that song. I think Adam was saying he did not start rapping because of EM. A lot of white rappers are told that they started rapping because of him or trying to be like him. He did not say Vanilla Ice or Beastie Boys. There is so much more to the late 80s early 90s that younger people did not know. When rap became mainstream everyone enjoyed everyone. All kids wanted to be the favorite rapper no matter what age, sex, or color they were. ……….The least one of these 3 I know about is Mesus, but to say his doesn’t resonate to is mad. He is a Christian like you have said and changed his life around like you said you did.
Yes that was a controversy about adam uses the N word in his song Racism,he worked it out with Stevie knight.
I. find it a little crazy all are so upset he uses the N word but nobody speak about the next verse
,,but what about black folk?
Raise their kids right, every night mom and dad are home
Huntin' for a job, not cryin' about a privilege
Cryin' out to God, stop the violence where we livin',,
but its ok your channel,your opinions no disrespect 🌸👍
Imagine being a white rapper and all you can hear is people trying to compare you to someone that had no influence on your sound. He is stating he's been rapping before he even knew that Eminem Marshall Mathers shady existed
Like that you're opening your eyes to them, now just cut the Bieber hair hehe and you're fire 🔥 🤪
Ppl hate on tom bc they dont like the kind of music he makes so they come up with any insult possible most commonly "hes trash" but he can rap like that fr💀
Black and White with Dax and Adam.
He said the n word in his song "racism" he spoke about how both whites and blacks experience racism and it was a good message
You should really look into things before you give your opinion. Adam was not influenced by Em it was Old Dirty Bastard. Adam is a real person that is why fans respect him
Have you ever listened to Chris Webby? Heard of a UK artist named Ren? They just put out an amazing song called Baggage that you might want to check out. Some people only know Webby for his Raw Thoughts stuff which is political but this song, Baggage, Def isn't and both artists are super talented, tho Ren is the one blowing up for the past 2 years. both independent artists
There is a BIG difference between stiring the pot just to stir it and stiring it because its necessary.
If your views align even sorta witj Adam and Tom then you notice how sentitive this newer generation is ... everyone is so afraid to stir the pot that our country has one foot in the communist ditch.
We need people to stir the pot and say what eveyone is afraid to say.
Besides ...thats what rap used to be about before it became drugs, and hoes.
There’s a reason they call liquor 🥃 Spirits- the alcohol attacks your inner spirit, whatever 😈 inside of you gets awaken when you drink 🍹
Please don’t call Mesus a country bumpkin if you don’t even know him
He’s a fellow brother In Christ please be respectful
His wife is a Vietnamese refugee who came over when she was ten
He’s funny and a really cool guy
Great Reaction! You gotta check out Tom's Song where he gives Em his flowers!
(Dear Slim)
I think you would really like (Withdrawal's) also.
A real rapper tells about life yes even if it is political. What you are used to hearing are not rappers. These are people who quickly fall behind their masks.... Good luck to everyone.
Shady came out in 1999 or 2000 all Adam is saying he was rapping back in the early 90s. Shady was first one to hit it big. I listened to rap way back NWO was hot when I was in high school.
Tom is political but he has a bunch of non political tracks too:
Fighter
God Mode
Castles
My Fans
I'm Corny
I Wish

It’s hard to remove bias, but I think you opened up. Sorry you got jumped on in the comments. Usually Tom’s given flack about references to Em. He shows how much Em influenced him in Dear Slim. Adam and Tom show his influence in Black and White. Thanks for being honest. Subbed for your reactions
Hardcore Truths 🔥
Adam is a beast and he ain't "tryin" to do nothing! He's who he is. He's a gangster rapper. Go down the rabbit hole before u judge him. He has a ton of music
U a lil late to the party! Keep watching!! With all due respect my next 3 videos are all after learning and if u make it to the end of this one you’ll see the love I showed them
"I'm being biased"
Me: "I appreciate the self awareness."
I was slightly annoyed by the assumptions you were using to judge the song, but I respect how you caught yourself and gave the music a fair chance.
Did everyone forget about 3rd bass, beastie boys, snow, ect.... Not far fetched to think he couldve been influenced by a white rapper other than em.....my first rap album i bought was 3 rd bass derelicts of dialect.....way before eminem. And im younger than 2/3 of these guys.
Btw i had some reservations when i was introduced to Tom but over time he solidified that hes reallly speaking from the heart and saying real shit which made the transition to Acal alot smoother.
What you heard about Adam and Tom is from the hater bandwagon, who never even really listened to the lyrics. They hear one line and 'REEEEEEEE!' Hes a racist, or a bigot.
Those people have nothing better to do with their lives than try to make other people miserable. Tom has many sociopolitical type of songs, and very rarely will you hear him picking a side, he points out topics that are, well, harmful to society.
Tom calls these types of people obsessed fans, who hate on him so much they will watch his videos and then post hateful comments, regardless of the lyrics.
Adam had a song where he used the n word, but it's the context that is important, and the people he has around him in that video are friends if I am not mistaken, however, he lived that life. He isn't representing an environment he was never a part of.
The song is called 'Racism'.

U seem like you came in here acting like u were going to be unbiased yet u came in here with opinions about something that someone else had a problem with. They have millions of people who love their music, billboards, and sold millions of cds. I think u r the one with the problem.
If u keep watching, I apologize for that. I don’t edit my videos - my reaction is my reaction. It’s important for the world to have some realness in it.
I have since been taught by the fans and I’ve made a few more reactions to these guys and my mind is changed. If I would’ve edited that out, it wouldn’t be visible in real time which I think would make it less special
Thank you for watching! I think you’d like my newer reactions to them!
Some people just don’t like to see the truth or hear it !! Your generation is so full of themselves!! Running on feelings!! See yall hate cause of feelings before yall do anything and that makes for ignorance!!!

I recommend you watch “Racism” by Adam Calhoun. It will give you at least one answer to “Why”.
If you want to start with mesus. Check his rap devil/ rap god song . That song caught my attention with him..
Oh, hun😢 Adam came up doing battle rap in Chicago, early 90s. Just because you've never heard his story doesn't mean that it didn't happen. ✌️
I watched Gode mode and had to go back for this one 😂
Yup, biases can make you hear things that aren't said. Interesting. But you're a reall one for noticing and admitting it.
The song with the N word is called Ras!sm. The word has a real purpose in the song. Check it out, it's a good song with a good massage.❤
Adam has many times given Em credit for what he's accomplished, how he opened doors and minds and that he's a goat, but he didn't inspire him to start rapping. He had other inspiration. It's not dis towars Em, just a fact.
I think Adam was just saying he started rapping before he heard of Eminem, which is probably accurate, he didn't say Em NEVER inspired him - he just said he STARTED rapping before he heard of Em. He is saying he loved rap so much he was already rapping. I understand what you're saying though, I just think they get tired of being compared to Em all the time and not being judged on their own merit alone. That's what I take from it anyway lol. Tom actually bought an NFT beat from Em for 100k during an auction and wrote a song called "Dear Slim" giving Em his flowers. Tom actually has said several times that Em is the reason Tom started rapping.
That makes more sense, if that’s the case I just misunderstood and took it wrong !!
And it’s not him coming out here and saying go vote for Trump. That’s not what he’s doing at all. He is telling you what the government has been doing to you since she was a kid to all of us and everybody needs to open up their goddamn eyes and see itand that’s what Tom does. That’s what his music does and I love it and he needs to continue to do what he’s doing.😅
The opposite of pandering is educating!
Adam and mesus been friends 30 years
You need to react to more Ren, chinchilla, Sam Tompkins , Webby, Nova Rockafeller, and Falling in reverse
I think there's a piece you are missing in Adam's verse. The internet has not always existed. By the time some of heard artists they wouldn't play on the radio on the regular, they had been destroying in locally or regionally. I had never heard of em until shady and I've been an r&b and hip-hop head since the 80s
Em isn't the only fucking rapper. Get over the em shit
Adam grew up in the south side of Chicago
Adam: "I don't understand why I can't use the N word. I've used it my whole life growing up. Why do I have to stop using it?"
You: "I don't understand why you're using it. Using that word will just cause problems."
Me: "And THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call miscommunication and lack of understanding."😅
That’s like saying Robert Johnson was influenced by BB King.
Go listen To Tom MacDonald’s song Chrome. Adam has a verse on that song and he lists everyone who inspired him and Eminem was not on the list. That doesn’t mean Adam and Tom don’t like Em’s music. They do. They just don’t share his political beliefs. But they don’t hold that against Eminem.
Check out Tom's song God Mode if you want to learn more about him. Don't believe what you hear, he has way more non political songs than political and all songs are inspiring or have a real message.
I’m gonna suggest maybe a little research on each rapper before a reaction….. each one is amazing in their own right
Bro I actually appreciate ur honesty and how u said sorry ur being biased … real legit man right there 🫡
Mesus was rapping before marshall for years'
East coast started hip hop before Em- Em and Adam were influenced by the same people!
Adam was rapping way before Marshall' years before
