I give as much insight as I possibly can during the video but I am not that person who breaks down every single lyrical syllable known to mankind ☺️ but when it comes to the creative process, I am all over it....well as much as I can. That's what I do so please be respectful in the comments.

Tom was inspired by Eminem, he's talking about current main Rappers pushing this stuff for easy numbers.
Tom did put out a song called Dear Slim, after he bought an Eminem beat from an NFT auction for $100k, it actually gave Eminem his flowers.
Oh ok I figured as much but I wasn't too sure so that's why I rely on you all for assistance. Thank you for clearing that up! And thanks for that recommendation / backstory I'll add it to my Tom reaction list if it's not already on there 🍿
@@Cinematic_Jesse I think you'd appreciate the effort and detail put into the video as well.
@@Cinematic_Jesse Nova has a channel and interviews Tom and his friends on videos they shoot . I feel you would love them she is amazing . Both make the power couple mixed with his parents and his sister and husband and evan the mixer. the videos she makes on the making of the shoots are fun and packed with great stories. Ill let the rest of the fam send the list but with your job im sure you would also love Novas channel.
I would like to hear what you have to say about "I hate hip hop". All other suggestions will not disappoint. Tom, Nova, & Evan. Thats it. 1000% independent. Tom loves his "HOG" army. Enjoy your journey down the rabbit hole.
It's added to my reaction playlist 🤞 I can't wait to check it out! Thank you again
I hate hip hop is probably my favorite video! The visuals are insane and so fun!
TOMS STORY:
Tom MacDonald is 100% independent! He’s had major record labels after him daily for at least 6 years and he turns them ALL down! After you listen to a few of his songs, especially the music industry and sad rappers, you’ll understand why. He writes all of his songs, makes his beats, and his girlfriend Nova Rockafeller shoots and edits all of his videos! That’s why dear rappers is so simplistic because they were just starting out really.
He dabbled in bands and had managers in the past, but that’s why he struggled so much and that’s why he wasn’t as successful as he should’ve been until he wrote dear rappers. That’s after he had cut everybody out and started doing things his way on his time with no middleman! He spent about nine months battling crippling depression. He contemplated suicide several nights and he was a severe alcoholic! After what seemed to be an eternity, he spiritually came out of that depression and quit everything cold turkey, not only alcohol but also marijuana and certain anxiety medication. Him and Nova could barely pay rent to keep a home after that but he stayed strong and ultimately wrote Dear Rappers which was his very first video to go viral, and the rest is history!
He shoots his videos wherever is convenient whether it’s in his own home, in his backyard, or in an alley! He will even go in grocery stores and randomly shoot a scene for a video lol. He personally signs albums ordered by his fans (for a short time with each new drop) and he also packages and ships the albums and all merchandise with close family and friends assistance hangovergang.com. He builds the sets for all of his videos! Also, he used to be a carpenter as well as a professional wrestler in Canada, he’s from Mission British Columbia. He spent some time in college but that just wasn’t where his life was going. He had some experiences with the illuminati, not sure for how long or what exactly the nature of that was, but I know that he left to follow Christianity!
The set for clown world was in his backyard l! He took number one on iTunes with “best rapper ever” beating Eminem’s entire last new album!! Recently he took number one from Cardi B on iTunes with clown world! He’s taken the spot from her to number one multiple times! He’s also taken number one on billboards top emerging new artist! He made number one recently on hip-hop Billboard charts and number two in all genres! He also charted on seven billboards with Nova Rockafeller and Brandon Hart which included 2 number ones with “No Good Bastard’s” and made it on 7 MORE billboards with “Church”! He also just got three number ones and several other charts on billboards with “snowflakes“, and 10 spots on billboards including 2 number ones with “Brainwashed“!! He also got 2 more number ones on billboards with Adam Calhoun “New World Order”!
He dropped something very different in his colab album “As Far as the Stars” with Nova and Brandon Hart! He dropped 2 albums 9/3/21 #UsAgainstTheWorld #NoGutsNoGlory. Available now to order on iTunes or Amazon Music is the collab album with Adam Calhoun “The Brave” and 2 solo albums that just dropped 11/18/22 “Renegade” and “The Revolution” only on Tom’s website! I hope you have fun getting to know him as much as I have! #HangoverGang
😊
Nova, yes that's his girlfriend, is a video-making queen! She shot it with a camera and a red light bulb and had no real time to prepare before shooting this video. Great reaction!! ❤#HOG ❤
Tom's releasing a brand new video on Friday at 9:00am PST. Would be a great first-day reaction.
Thank you for the backstory! Much respect ☺️ not sure I'll be able to witness his new drop on Friday but I'll add it to my list for later reactions 🍿 thank you again ☺️
@@Cinematic_JesseThe back story is even deeper and impressive.. they didn’t have power at their home because they were so broke. They ran a cord to the outlet in the neighbors garage for the lighting. Tom went outside to smoke his last 1/2 cig and wrote this song in about 10 min. He came inside and told Nova, I just wrote the song that’s going to change our lives. He started laying down the beats while she prepped the set. The next day it was viral 🥹
‼️TWO #1’s ON BILLBOARD FOR RAP AND HIP/HOP DIGITAL SONG SALES AND TOM GOT #1 RAP PRODUCER‼️ How incredible 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Much love and respect to his team. ❤️😎
@@Cinematic_Jesse 🔥💯🤘🏻
If you're into videography check out Tom's Best Rapper Ever, it's deeper than than it sounds and in my opinion Nova's best video work done entirely in their own home during lock down. #HOG UK
It's added to my upcoming playlist! Thank you for recommending. I can't wait to check it out...they truly are a power duo 🙌
Funny I just looked this song up after his interview with Rosanne Barr. He was in a bad place financially. He said this song just came to him through divine intervention. He even got emotional. It was the start. Look at him now. Thanks for reaction ❤
That’s awesome! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Did you know Tom before the Roseanne interview? Welcome to the fam!
He had an interview? With Rosanne? Oh man I've got to check it out now! Thank you for sharing the insight with us ☺️ yep look at him now! I wish him and Nova nothing but success!
@@Cinematic_JesseYes, it was very recent and was a great interview. I think it happened within the last two weeks.
@keekdkelly yes, I've been a Tom fan for years. I own all his CDs and have so much merch that it's crazy. I just didn't remember the song until he spoke about it on the interview. The song took on a whole new meaning.
Facts!!! ❤
This song is what made him popular! They had nothing when they shot this. His story is very inspiring! God bless mate 🙏
God bless them and you my friend! 🙏 ❤️
I think you would enjoy Riot and Sheeple those are incredible videos and also Best Rapper Ever
Great suggestions you also got to throw in ashes
I believe I've got them on my playlist for Tom reactions but I'll double check! Thank you for the suggestions.
Best rapper ever would be a perfect one for you to react to! Especially since you don’t like the stuff with drugs use !! It’s phenomenal ❤
It's on my Tom list! ☺️ I look forward to checking it out soon! Thank you 🙏
This song broke him out. The power was out in his place because he couldn’t pay the bill. He went outside to smoke a cigarette, and wrote this.
He came back inside, told Nova to grab the camera, and that was it.
Tom never ceases to amaze me! That's persistence and love for your craft. 🙌 Much respect....thank you for sharing. Legend 💯
Hang Over Gang in the house! This old vet is happy to see you go down the Tom Rabbit Hole! You honestly haven't heard anything yet. I won't even give you the list of songs, because I know my HOG family is already been doing that. He has so many great songs. He discussed a whole lot more than just the political or the racial issues that continue to sadly get pulled into the future. He talks on things that has helped many of his HOG family followers. As for me, being a fourth generation disabled vet with TBI and PTSD, living under a VA program for homeless vets. I found Tom about 5 years ago and I'm not sure if I would be here now if I didn't. He has also given over a quarter million dollars to help homeless vets. I love all his music, but Fighter, Sober, Withdrawals and castles hold a special place. Oh he also made a remix of Eminem's The way I am about 5 years ago. He did amazing on it in my opinion. I will be HOG till my last breath!
First I want to start off by saying thank you for your service my friend! I come from an entire family that's military. I lost my brother back in 2007 he was KIA in Kandahar Province. And I want to say I'm glad you are still with us. Yeah I've gotten so much information about Toms background and how he gives to our Vets. Much love and respect! Thank you again for reaching out. Stay up and Stay Gold
HOG 4Life cant wait till Toms Day
H.O.G. for life 😛🎵🎶❤️✌️
The song that blew Tom up. Tom fell in love with Rap when he picked up a 2pac double cd album.
Tom has nothing but respect for Em. Check out Tom’s “Dear Slim”. The simple photography of this comes from the fact they had no power (couldn’t pay the power bill) and they ran an extension cord from the neighbor’s garage just to keep the fridge running.
Tom is not really political as he is a social commentator. His songs address what strikes him most, personally or in society, at the time he writes it.
FYI: Tom is dropping a new music video, this Friday at 9:00 AM, California time.
#hangovergang forever 🤙🏽
I recommend This House, No Response, Don't Look Down.
Tom's girlfriend Nova directs, shoots and edits all his music videos. I think some of her absolute best work behind the camera is on his song "Best Rapper Ever'. I think you'd enjoy it.
Catch you on the next one.
It's on my list of upcoming Tom reactions 🤞 stay tuned my friend. Thank you again for all the information.
It amazes me with how Nova foes so much with so little. They are operating off an extension cord that they ran from their nighbors garage.
Yeah I just heard that from another commenter....much love and respect for them facing through adversity. I'm glad they made it
The entire team is Tom, Nova, Tom parents, his sister and her husband. Thats the entire team.
Tom's dropping a new video this Friday! Good luck on your reaction!❤
I wish I could get to it but I'm sure there will be many great reactors out there to cover it ☺️ I appreciate the well wishes. All my best to you as well!
Tom is a drop a song then respond to the critics. With the next song. That is why most say go in order. Some good ones Boom bap 101, Helluvit, exposure, Hangman, and the way I am( Em remix). To name some of his early work.
I've got an entire reaction playlist just for Tom's/Nova's older work. I'm doing my best to catch up but eventually I will get to them all.
HOG4everspain!!
Love Tom and Nova.
They are just real and unique.
Very versatil. Lyric genius.
❤🙏🇪🇦
I absolutely agree 💯 much love from Texas 💪
Welcome to the Tom MacDonald and Nova Rrabbit hole #HOG4LIFE #HOGUK
I appreciate the support! Much love from Texas ❤️
Much respect. What you do behind closed doors is a persons business but should not be openly pushed or publisized.
Dear Rappers .. created a paradigm shift in the music industry.
Forever after Dear Rappers .. it will be remembered ..
as the day that Hip Hop "grew a conscience" ..
The day Hip Hop went from being a rowdy teenager to ..
becoming a Stable adult ..
I respect it very much!
I would like to watch your react to Best Rapper Ever. Nova did a great job there.
Looks like Best Rapper is voted most recommended! It's on my list of upcoming reactions 💯 stay tuned my friend ☺️
toms first song beating eminem on billboard
Wow . . .🤯
Tom's girl Nova does all of his videos. This was her first
Much respect goes out to them both 🙌
‘ Ashes, Castles, Don’t Look Down, Ghost, The System, Black & White show Tom’s diversity- collaborations with Adam Calhoun, Mad Child, Dax, Jason, Ben are so entertaining and all are #TruthSeekers #Hog
I can't wait to get to them all eventually! Thank you for the recommendations.
HOG FAMILY 💖💖💖
Much appreciated 😊
I noticed in facts they did use some green screen but the went back to their roots for the majority of the video. You will see that between this video and I want to say Balloons, they built all there own sets. In Ballons they used black screens for some cliff production with drones. But Riot was their first big jump into vfx production and Sheeple will not disappoint.
Yeah I noted the same in facts but honestly it was very tasteful and not overused. I'm not a huge fan of CG but if done with respect and the audience doesn't notice at all that's a win in my book! I'll add em to my playlist! Thank you
Fun fact,tom and nova had their power cut and ran a cord from the neighbors for the light to shoot the video.
That's such a motivating story! I love it
That's the only light they had and it was plugged into his neighbors house because he couldn't afford his electric bill and this is the song that changed his life
Damn man...much respect to them for facing through adversity and overcoming all odds to get to where they are now. Thanks for the backstory on this video and Tom/Nova
Welcome to the Fam!! #HOG for life!!!!
Much love from Texas ❤️
Great Grandma #HOG in the house! So happy to see you continue your journey. Told you I would keep watching your Tom and Nova rabbit whole. And all you said about haters just proves you are now a Family member. NONE of the HOG family deals hatred unless haters attack Tom or Nova. We are a dedicated fan Family. I really enjoy hearing your take on his verse. There is not a single lane you can put either of them in. Stay true to yourself and all will fall into place. So much love and respect from this Great grandma from WA. state.
Helluvit is a must second song of Tom's career
If you like fvx, Tom's Riot is another cool video.
I'll add it to my reaction playlist 🤞 thank you for the recommendation!
What wasn't said is they dropped a power cord from the neighbor to shoot this with a red lamp. They were living in the hood. Had to borrow money from 3 to 4 people to release it. Royalties from this video moved them out of the hood.
Love that story! I'm happy for them 💯 now that's what I call perseverance and fighting back! Love it
Instantly subscribed when I saw Tom's music on the channel. Getting tired of all the hate and lies. Tom is just speaking the truth.
🔥 🔥 🔥 ✌️ 👊 #HOG
Yes sir! 🎬
Besr Rapper Ever please😊
It's on my reaction playlist 🤞 stay tuned
This is the song the went viral and made Tom famous but ive been listening to Tom for years he still lived in Canada when he did his song old "No7" back when he and i both drank Jack Daniels so i loved the song been rocking with the HOG ever since the rabbit hole goes deep and some are hidden out of sight like BOOM BAP 101 not on his youtube page also GF BF his and novas combined works there is so much for you to enjoy cant wait for more ....... the hatters are always going to hate (best part each comment helps the algorithm) let them hate ...... check out Toms song DEAR SLIM see how he really feels about Em might open your eyes a bit more (its not what you would think it is) ... new sub cant wait to go on the journey with you
Hey I appreciate the backstory and insight...yeah honestly I don't worry about the ones who bad mouth me cause you are absolutely right about the algorithm being kind to me regardless lol but hey it's all good, I'm going down the rabbit hole regardless! Hmm I'll add it to my reaction playlist. Thanks for the suggestion...stay up my friend
Propaganda by Dax ft. Tom is also a great video, and Toms videos are really all amazing truth be told…. I could sit here for an hour listing off ones that are worth a watch but top 5 I think are
Riot
Sheeple
Best Rapper Ever
End Of The World (ft. John Rich)
I Wish
This particular video was shot extremely low budget compared to his other ones, at this time he and Nova were beyond broke, living in the hood with absolutely nothing. He was down to his last half cigarette and had the idea for this video they shot it and he borrowed some money off family and friends for some advertising and put it out into the world and the rest is as they say history.
Loved your reaction and can’t wait to see more!!
I've added them to my Tom reaction playlist! 🙂 Thank you for sharing some backstory! I love hearing the behind the scenes of these amazing artists! Much love ❤️ thank you for watching.
@@Cinematic_Jesse ❤️
#HOGFAM
He is right! Great reaction❤
I'm humbled ❤️
Love your commentary and reactions to Tom. I recommend you check out Best Rapper Ever definitely shows that Nova's skills behind the camera are limitless! Also check out Tom's song Don't look down. Have a great rest of your week! ❤#HOG4Ever
Thank you for watching and for the great feedback! Best Rapper is coming up soon 😎 and Don't look down has been added to my reaction playlist 🤞 I hope you have an amazing week ☺️ Stay up, Stay Gold my friend
Never give in to the naysayers, stay imperfectly yourself, that’s what we need more of during these confusing times. Tom is an example of speaking about what you believe regardless of what others think.
I will continue to speak the Truth. . .til the day they bury me 🙌 God bless this man and others out there who speak the truth no matter what. . .

Hang over gang has landed in your channel. Prepare to grow your subscriber base. Let's go!
I'm humbled 🙌
#HOG fam
🙌💯 much love
check out tom's Superman
It's on my playlist! Thank you for the recommendation 🍿
If you like visuals then Best Rapper Ever is definitely ombre you should look at!! Also Dirty Money
Looks like Best Rapper is coming up soon! I've gotten so many votes for that particular video! Dirty money is on my reaction list as well 💯 thank you for the recommendations 🍿
Black Sabbath War pigs is a great video an song
Love the song but have never watched the video! 🎬 I'll add it to my list
Check out 'Sad rappers' another great track. Man there are loads of amazing tracks by Tom that aren't political.
Added to the list! Thank you for the recommendations 🍿
I highly recommend watching his interview with Roseanne Bar (her podcast) - he tells his backstory and the importance of this song in his music career. Plus, you get to see Tom for the person that he is outside of the music and videos.
I'll definitely go and check it out! Thanks for reaching out. I look forward to watching!
Tom is dropping a new song today 🔥🔥
Great reaction
Can't wait to check it out! 🙌
If you are a lyricist fan and a cinematic fan. Helluvit. Don’t look down. No response. First two are both bars and cinematic. The last is simpler with the visuals but one of his most impressive musically.
To add to this, you would also very likely enjoy this house by Tom. Both cinematically and lyrically. These are his four best, at least within my opinion.
Damn ! Sorry you got hate ! Definitely nothing but love from the family #HOG
It happens ☺️ no worries. Thank you all for the support! Much love from Texas 💪
Welcome to the wonderful rabbit hole of Tom MacDonald ;) he is full of surprises….. I enjoyed ur reaction to this one…. It was his first big hit that pretty much put him on his journey to success….. if you want to see some great videos Best Rapper’s video was amazing….. Dirty Money video also amazing video….. Ballon’s as well….. Nova is such an underrated artist she does her own raps as well….. her latest was Lost Girls….. just so much to tell in just a little comment lol anyways looking forward to see your next reaction…. N b sure to sit back buckle up and enjoy this ride 😂
I appreciate you tuning in! 😎 Yeah I'm starting to see more of that talent unfold as I journey through the Tom/Nova rabbit hole 🤯 and yes the ones you've suggested are added to my ongoing list of upcoming reactions 💯 so thank you! See you on the next one 🎬
@@Cinematic_Jesse can’t wait 😉
👍😎🔥
#HOG
Fun fact... this is the song that got tom and nova out the hood
❤️ so I've read from other commenters....they deserve the best.
Talk about cinematic... You should check out his "TWO NEW ALBUMS DROP THIS FRIDAY (cinematic trailer)" video. It's a trailer for the Us Against the World and No Guts, No Glory albums.
Not sure I'll be able to get to them this Friday but I promise to add them to my playlist! Thank you for the heads up and recommendations 🍿
Welcome to the #HOGFAM
Thank you for welcoming me here 🙌
Tom is a truth seeker and shares that truth with us all. He isn’t afraid to stand his ground on what he believes and he makes no room for interpretation or what he means when he says stuff. From everything I can tell he’s been telling us who he is from the start and it’s rare to see someone be so real about shit. I’ve tried for years and got ignored or called a conspiracy theorist but with all this shit coming to light and how things have progressively gotten worse people who once told me I was full of shit have actually apologize to me and have started paying attention. He’s waking people up for the woke BS. he’s basically unplugging people from the matrix. And getting them to think for themselves. It’s why I like him.
I respect it! Truth be told i really do enjoy listening to him throw the truth out there. I have so much respect for those who stand up for those who's voices have been silenced! I've always said 2024 is the year of the TRUTH and understand exactly where you are coming from. Thank you for reaching out...respect from Texas
@@Cinematic_Jesse you got it brother from one Texan to another.
oh look, someone discovering Tom. You got a sub from me and welcome to the family ;) #HangoverGang If he was backed by the mainstream, everyone would know who he is but because he fights for us and not for them, no one does. It's a shame but that's the world we live in today unfortunately.
In due time the rest of the world will know the truth...God bless this man 🙏 I appreciate you reaching out.
This is what Tom and Nova could do in the beginning on a shoestring budget and no power. 😍 The song is 🔥 and I love the beat!
I agree with the other's suggestions, Best Rapper Ever is probably Nova's best video work and I Hate Hip Hop is a close second. For a cinematic video that's more recent, Your America with Adam Calhoun is beautifully shot and End of the World ft John Rich is like a short film. Great reaction. ❤🔥
Tom-day is Friday. New video drops this week. 😉#HOG from Texas #NovaRockafeller
I've gotten so many responses about the backstory of how they borrowed power from a neighbor! If that's not a motivating to others out there to make things happen, then I don't know what is! I wish I could be there to see the new video but I'll be filming around that time but I'll add it to my playlist and eventually get to it ☺️ thank you for the recommendations 🍿 they are on my list! Much love 💯
Hey shoutout Texas!
Yep Texas here 💪
Side note: one of the reasons Tom makes and sells CDs is because he wants his fans to have tangible music... not just digital. I even bought a CD player to specifically listen to his CDs.
Loved the reaction!! ❤️👊 #hangovergang
I appreciate every single one of you! ☺️
As for Cinematography, Nova doesn't miss on any of them. This dynamic duo has yet to put out a bad song/video. Continue down the rabbit hole... you'll get a new experience with each! Loving your honest reaction, can't wait to watch you through your journey!!
Thank you I Loved your reaction so glad I found you
Glad you are here new friend ☺️
🔥 🔥 ❤❤#HOG
Truth HOG 💪❤️
Tom has no beef with Eminem. Tom credits him for saving his life. React to Dear Slim and you will see. Tom purchased a beat from Em for 100k and made a song dedicated to him to give him his "flowers" Great reaction dude, new sub. #HOG family here to support you. And Tom drops a new video tomorrow!
Aww man yeah I've got to check it out now, I've added Dear Slim to my list! Dang 100k for a banger 🔥if my time allows me Ill have to check out this new drop! Thank you for the heads up & I appreciate the info bro. Thanks for watching / subbing much respect to the HOG FAM! Stay up and Stay Gold my friend
Long comment alert, but here's facts about Tom that I've gotten from seeing interviews of his etc.... So Tom is from Alberta Canada. His father and mother were hard workers, father a fisherman (I believe I remember that correctly) and mom worked many jobs like bank teller ect. He has a sister that almost died when they were young after contracting chicken pox. She was working as a nurse in Canada and when the big C happened he told her to quit and come work with him, so now she's an intricate part of HOG (hang over gang). He was a pro wrestler his teenage years in Canada until he got many injuries, he fell into addiction and he hated the politics of it all. He said also, before I forget, that when he was younger his dad, him, and his grandfather watched politics on the tv especially in America and would sit around talking about for hours. Anyway ok flashback too, when he was younger his dad would listen to a lot of rock music and one day they went to a second hand store and his dad gave him 5 bucks and told him to buy whatever he wanted. That's when he found 2Pac and fell in love with rap. It was in school where he was also introduced to Em. Ok, flash forward back to after leaving wrestling. He moved to LA and tried following his passion for rapping. That's when\where he met his now girlfriend Nova Rockafeller (stage last name, not real) she's also an amazing artist. She gave him his first shot at rapping. They remained friends but went their separate ways. She got signed to def jam and he fell further into addiction. He said rapping about what everyone does now days, drugs, sex etc caused his addiction to further ensue. He had a mental breakdown and moved back to Canada and for roughly 9months got clean and got his mind right. After that Set jam did nova dirty and left her basically homeless so she got herself dropped and she moved to south central Cali. She called Tom and asked him to move in with her. He did, and from there they started making music together and fell in love. Now she shoots, edits, and directs mostly all his videos. His sister and her husband works with Tom, he retired his parents, bought them houses, and cars, vacations, oh and paid for his sisters wedding \wedding dress as well. I probably missed something, but that's the gist of it! Anyway, awesome reaction and commentary! #HOG4Life
Sorry for responding so late but I've had a crazy busy filming schedule here lately, but I wanted to take my time to read the backstory you took your time writing. That is truly one story for the ages of Love overcoming all obstacles...the adversity they both faced together to make it this far is very motivating! I see why now he doesn't sign to mainstream producers. Seriously my hats off to him, Nova and his family. Again, thank you for sharing this story with me. I kook forward to checking out more Tom/Nova so I hope to see you soon. ☺️
I appreciate the art you do. Thank you for sharing your opinion. I was a photographer for many years, I love the videography in the TM videos.
Thank you! I love what I do and I can only grow from here. It's great to talk to a fellow Photographer ❤️ ....I have to say NOVA is a beast with the Videography/Editing & Sound design! So much love for the craft 💪
DMX found God before he died. I believe that. Big DMX fan.
I believe he did as well! God bless him
Welcome! This song will alway be special because it was the beginning. Tom wrote this while smoking his last half a cigarette. He ran inside and told Nova to get ready to shoot. Its amaing to start at the beginning. It really lets you see how far they've come. #HOG ❤
I enjoy a epic come up and his story is such an inspiration for many. 🙌
#HOG fam here too! I just subbed to follow you through this rabbit hole with Tom. We love finding new reactors who just found Tom and Nova!!
I look forward to the journey with you all! Much love to you all! 💪
Falling in Reverse - Im not a vampire re vamp if you havent already
It's on my list! But before that one Ill be checking out "The drug in me is you" 🍿 thanks again for the suggestion 🙌
#HOG
I don't think there is much I can add, it's all been said by other commentators 😊
❤✌🏼
Thank you for watching ☺️
As another reactor (brainsqueeze) says "haters, go f#ck oneself" lol. You caught up with Tom in a turbulent time, with Upchurch and the tweeksquatters going afterhim and us, but you'll get love from the HOG family as long as you stay honest and keep making real statements.
I respect it! As long as I'm given the same energy back I'll keep doing these reactions to show love to Tom/ Nova and Hog family. Stay up my friend
Great reaction ❤
I appreciate you 😊
New sub with a very strong suggestion. Stay in your lane, do a deep dive on the Cinematic talents of Nova Rockefeller. You must interview and document how she was able to give Tom's music that big time Cinematic visual presentation on a less than shoe-string budget. Not only will HOG family watch, but also every jealous music producers will want to learn her secrets.
I've got her in a separate reaction playlist 🤞 I've seen now and heard more great things about her work! With as much adversity as they've faced early on I have a newfound respect for the both of them. I can't wait to see more. Thanks for sharing
Just subbed. HOG4L ❤️
Great reaction!
Thank you! 🙌
Wow, i realky loved enjoyed this. Loved it
Thank you so much! 🙏
With every fan base regardless of views, you are going to have the ones on the extreme. Us normie HOG fam know that the important thing is to have your view , right or left, and just be honest with it and then realize the right and the left is just something they created to make us fight so we don’t pay attention to what THEY are doing. Have your opinion and be proud of it brother.
I couldn't have said it better! Right on man! Much respect Fam 😎
Ok cool another reactor going down the rabbit hole. Nova is a beast at making videos, can’t wait to see your take on your future reactions❤
#HOG4ever and new sub💕

Fun fact Tom’s first rap album was 2Pac’s All Eyes on Me
Thank you for welcoming me! I look forward to going down the rabbit hole with you all 😎 I've got more Tom/Nova on the way. I love 2 PAC....that's awesome to hear! Thank you for sharing that insight! All Eyes on me was my top Album from 2Pac ☺️
Stay up, Stay Gold ❤️
Not sure how I missed this Jesse! But Tom unapologetically speaks his truth and 100% agree this is your channel my friend and much respect for not jeopardizing your integrity
👍🏻🫶🏻👏🏻
Others are entitled to their opinions, I would never try to speak over anyone or jeopardize truth.... especially when it comes to my morals in who I am. That's all I know is truth, it's just sometimes others out there just cannot handle it. Thank you for reaching out ☺️
I would love to see you do more Falling in Reverse...
Falling in Reverse is actually coming up next! 🙌
New sub #HOG❤

If you wanna see a good cinematic video of Tom's, watch Dirty Money
