I think Tom MacDonald would suck if it wasn't for the fact that he's perfect in every way 😂❤ 1) He's a lyrical genius. 2) He is brutally honest. 3) His beats and flows are never the same. 4) He has a savage work ethic. 5) He and his family are the team, and we as fans feel like Tom's family is our family. When an album drops, they literally sign the albums, stuff the envelopes, package the merch, and take it all to the post office themselves! 6) He's above the dissing. 7) He has the most diverse and massive fanbase of any independent artist out there. 8) He is constantly creating, and gives us so much material to feed on. 9) He uses his rags to riches story to inspire and encourage. 10) The uniqueness of Tom as a person. He's a genuine, caring human being who will never betray anyone he cares about. He doesn't even believe in doing Meet n Greets or VIP passes because in the past (and when he performs in the future), he stays after the show as long as it takes to meet fans, sign merch, and take pics.
Don't forget he has donated over 300k to US Vets a charitable organization that helps the homeless vets! Hee also takes time to talk with his fans in discord dozens and dozens of times per year.
@mikeg2203 yes! I screenshot several times he replied to me on Discord and said thank you, and said he couldn't do it without us. That's a very special artist/fan connection. And I believe he's more American than most Americans. He's a living breathing example of the American Dream. And he's grateful for it.
I can confirm meeting him after the concert in Milwaukee. My wife has MS and lost her legs halfway through his set. I got in line after the concert while she sat in the theater seats. I asked him and Nova if my wife could come up in line with me, and I explained why. Tom looks at Nova and whispers something to her. Then responds, fck that we'll go to her! I wish I could share the pics here to show you just how awesome him and Nova are. Tom is genuinely a good human being, and I personally learned that firsthand. And I can't forget Brandon either, his best friend. Genuinely an awesome human being and Brandon to this day still is friends with my wife. Brandon was the guy who took the photos of us together in the theater seats. HOG4EVER HOG ❤
Told you he was really conscious. His whole discography tells a story. The way I see it, with each song/video/album he puts out, he keeps adding rungs to a ladder, saying, "Meet me up here. You can either use me, my story, and my independent grind as inspiration to get to the top, or you can stay at the bottom and hate. Either way, I'm up here, and I do me whether you love me or hate me." He's also really satirically funny. He can go viral on the internet with his humor alone. He is something else. I've gone back to his old songs that didn't have videos, and he was always dope with an inspirational pen and a smart ass attitude. Seriously, they lit the wrong man, and he just keeps dropping bangers.
Dont beat yourself up too much. The system does everything it can to keep Tom down and get people thinking that way, Be proud you overcame their devious plans and discovered Tom anyway 😁
This song is a masterpiece of music!!! The "Nemo" bar is aimed at Mac Weasel as he got a "co-sign" from Ellen DeGeneres and she did the voice of Dory in Finding Nemo, LOL! #HOG4Life
@@thoughtsofapredicatewinner he was even on her show hence the bar on his diss "Big bad Dave got the Ellen co-sign ...... COOL. Tryin to ride that wave to the Hollywood sign ..... FOOL"
Since you like this version of Tom. If you want to go a little bit to the past, I'M SORRY, is 🔥. If you want to go after this... there is, DONT LOOK DOWN! Also 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Death Threats, Ghost Stories, Gravestones...this was his upcoming music. He spoke to Crypt (basement) and Mac Lethal (first row I'm her favorite, Nemo-he was on Ellen, Lethal Injection). There are more but I can't remember for sure. I love this song! Glad you liked it too!
Listen to Tom's song called "Cancelled" He has a whole bible scheme in that one! It's a vibe kinda like "I HATE HIP HOP" another song of Tom's you would appreciate is Boom Bap 101 it's 90's style vibe's old school hip hop.
Those last lines were also a message within a message. His last 2 albums had been "Death Threats" & "Ghost Stories". The album that dropped right after this was "Gravestones" 😉
My issue with the last diss Mac threw at Tom was it came over 5 years later! Plus Mac not writing it himself. He pretty much took jabs at Nova the whole time, which was odd in itself. The fact that Tom wrote and produced videos to diss Mac all within 24 hours after each rebuttal is amazing. Tom took the WIN. Tom's mic drop in the second diss Tom did was FIRE song could of ended on this bar "Your going to need a whole family of coffins when you Chris Benoit them to solve all your problems" Was straight liquid death.
Also, No Response is how Tom decided to handle rap beefs from there on out. He decided no more giving clout to other people hating on him. Instead he releases these from time to time, starting with No Response. Others in this vein (In chronological order): I'm Sorry (At a handful of rappers) Don't Look Down (At a handful of rappers) Riot (Shot at Grizzy Hendrix) And God Mode was a response to Upchurch low key, and I know that's what got you hooked on Tom.
Really enjoyable reaction, bro #HOGUK btw, the bit at the end, when he slowed down, and you pointed out he wanted it to be heard, was spot on. 'Gravestones' is the name of the album this tune is on.
Two others that are linked: "Whiteboy" and then you have to watch "This House" which was a response to the hate he received for a song that was meant to unite people. He lets those people know what's up. #HangOverGang #NovaRockafeller
Knox didn't have anything to do with it. You should do Im Sorry too. It was actually before no response. He came out with Mac Lethal Sucks 2. But its really not worth a listen. He doesn't say anything about Tom until the very end. Absolutely great reaction! So glad you like this! Tom has never been just a rapper , he is an artist. So hlad you liked this❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can't wait for you to hear I'm Sorry! Lyricism is off the chain! And I Don't Drink and I Can't Sleep will really touch you. Please please please put them in your roster to react to!!!
The fact that people have come at him since then, most recently Upchurch and even Mac again, and he hasn't responded just shows you how serious he was in this song. He told everyone "No Response" and he meant it. Mac's last diss was a response to a line in "God Mode" about the battle between them.
but, also, what this shows is Tom pulls back a bit when he has a specific message to get across, because at that point it's about the message and not about him, which is rare in hip hop. But when he flexes he flexes. That said, you need to do Boom Bap 101
This has always been my favorite song. I was following him and liked him, but when he dropped this song he showed what he was capable of. He's a true artist, not just a rapper. Break this song down line by line knowing what he's saying, it's fkn crazy. He's a story teller and there's so much in this one. He paints pictures with his lyrics that's easy to miss if you don't follow. He will set up a 16 bar verse just setting up a story, but most ppl only think in 2 bar lines so they don't follow the whole set up. I listen to this song whenever I need to get pumped up. I relate so much because I used to write poetry because sometimes you need metaphors to describe feelings and ideas. The lines, I was chasing a dragon with no medieval invention and I'd go to sleep and dream what life would be if I catch it, like a dream there's no hope to attain because it feels impossible. He goes on saying the street was steel and his feet were magnetic, he was stuck in the streets. He said he couldn't reach the sky no matter how far he stretched. Another way of saying your dreams seem impossible from your current position. Then the line he says I woke up and realized I destroyed a whole cathedral of blessings. Dude, we all do it, overlook the gifts we have because we are focused on the wrong things and we can destroy our whole lives and ruin our opportunity to reach out dreams by the way we live and the mistakes we make not realizing the good things we have. I can't compete with my past but I'm still seeking the relics and I believe with every breath I breathe the sequel is better...the scars I bear will never let me forget I was near to the devil. There's so much to every line that encompasses his entire journey and still always pushes his message in creative ways. He an inspiration for anyone who has been through shit but refuse to give up. His music ranges with the emotions you experience on a journey through live, the ups and downs, the struggles and celebrations. The fights with others and ourselves. There's a song for everything. Not many artists alive can make something meaningful. And he only keeps getting better as the years go on, while staying on message from day 1
Have a huge respect for Tom , the more I listen to his music, the more I love it and the fact that his music speaks to people of all ages, I’m 70, is awesome HOG 4ever
this was part 3 This House I'm Sorry No Response Don't Look Down God Mode Each a retrospective, and a snapshot of his career at that point. All thematically similar, pure bars, no hook.... I personally rate them: No Response God Mode This house I'm Sorry Don't Look Down But I'm pretty sure that's an unpopular opinion.... and it doesn't account for the fact that "I'm Sorry" features my absolute favorite line in any Tom song. "I'm sorry" would rank much higher if it was longer "Knock Knock"... fans know what I mean.
H.O.G family love to a real one .. thanks for the grest breakdownsxand personal thoughts shared every video you put out ..stay blessed always.. respects from toledo ..
Hate I missed this! Like others, "I'm Sorry" is amazing, and you gotta do "This House", it was the response to all the hate he got from his song "Whiteboy" and is just amazing lyrically. You should also make sure to do Boom Bap 101 - its a fan made video here on YT with a shirtless Tom in sweat pants. The other one that's an older song is "Sad Rappers" - it touches on Big Pharma and mental health and the rap industry. Also, definitely get back on your Ren rabbit hole! Genesis is a great one by Ren to do next. There's both a video and an acoustic version that are great - you could do both in one video bc they are both amazing and a bit different. Ren does acoustic versions of a good many of his raps and songs. Its really amazing! Question, do you want to just do hip hop/rap or are you interested in diving into other Genres of music? Just curious! Ok, I'll hush now lol! So sorry I missed this Nelson! Hopefully I'll catch the next one! As always, sending blessings from Bama!
This song and Tom's intent behind this song is the reason we're all very good with Tom not responding to 'lil' rappers like Mac Weasel and other smaller rappers' nonsense. ❤#HOG ❤
And this was how he announced the title of the Gravestones album 🤭 fans went nuts for that last line😁as much as they loved the whole track.. that announcement was 😱😱😱❤️🔥❤️🔥
Subscribe ya'll!! Dude seriously has one of the best break downs in the game. If you're here for a "listen and go", then just go and LISTEN to TOM. Otherwise, hit that subscribe button-- man deserves it. No, Im NOT affiliated or benefiting, just giving Thoughts a shout out cuz he's GOOD!
This was the song that introduced me to Tom. It came up as a suggested in UA-cam for me. After it was over, Subscribed to Tom's channel and jumped headfirst into the REAL rabbit hole. Also discovered what had happened to Nova. There couldn't be a better power couple. #HangOverGang #NovaRockafeller
Tom is my favorite artist. I am not a big fan of Rap but I love his style of Rap I prefer Rock and metal usually. He is so versatile and unique and that totally draws me in. I find I am liking the Independent rappers because they have so much more substance.#Hog4life
Great reaction! Once you learn his catalogue, up to that point, you will see many references to previous songs. Harkens to his mention of Da Vinci Code in the song.
First listen to this I felt like I'd been hit with a mac truck lol. Love dark eyed Tom! Way back in 2018 I heard 2 Tom songs and asked my son if he heard of Tom...He said he loved Tom and had already been to a concert. I've bought every signed CD from the beginning and gave them to my son for his wedding gift, at the time it was my 8 albums. I have the Wild Ones hoodie and CDs waiting for his Christmas gift this year. I'm keeping the T shirt!! Not sure Knox had anything to do with the ghost writing diss, but Crypt did for sure. Knox likes Tom. PS gives me so much joy that an EM fan decided to give Tom a chance!
This song is in my top 3 favorite Tom songs. I’m Sorry and Best Rapper Ever are also really high on my list. Best Rapper Ever is a great song, but the video is, probably, my favorite work by Nova. Definite must see. ✌🏻🙏🏻❤️😊
I don't think Knox was in on the original Mac Lethal diss. It was Crypt, Logic, and a few others of that tier. Fellow HOG, correct me if I am wrong. But Knox has always been complimentary of Tom to my knowledge. And the rumor is that last diss Mac dropped on Tom was written entirely by AI.
Deathtreats and Ghostories are his two albums that already were dropped. Gravestones was his new album that was dropping. Love black contact Tom! I always can see pictures in my head when he spits his lyrics. He is a genius! #HOG4EVER
As No Response showed two distinct sides of Tom. You should go deeper with them and do "Best Rapper Ever" when you get a chance. I'm sure you'd appreciate it
The whole finding Nemo scheme was directed at Mac because he was on the Ellen Show and she was Dory's voice in the movie. Tom is brilliant genius! Love this song! #HOG4EVER
Can't wait to see you react to don't look down. Unless I missed it I've not seen you do that yet. After hearing you speak real to the ghostwriting, I have a new respect
‘I’m crazy’ is awesome. It’s from 7 or 8 years ago, it’s on his channel but there’s no video as such. He’s always had the bars. Even if you don’t react, take a listen 💜🫶🏻🇦🇺
He literally has a crown of thorns and devil horns. He has a skull tatted on each side of his face, One with a crown of thorns and the other with devil horns, he usually covers that one with his hair.
I'm going to be selfish & say that I'm kinda glad that you slept on him. Now, we get to go on this journey WITH you. I Sooo enjoy seeing someone discover Tom. I felt like this back in 2017 when my sons introduced me to his music. I rediscovered my love for Rap. I'm a bigger fan than they are now! Lol
You really need some of his albums, he has so many songs that are not on YT that hit so hard! Love that you are going thru these songs tho, nice comments
DeathThreats, Ghost Stories, and Gravestones were his first 3 albums after he blew up. The ending of the video when he mentioned Gravestones was a hint at an album drop.
Comon' Nelson....pick any Tom MacDonald performance and I will be here. You are giving me a lesson on HipHop every time I pop in. Love your enthusiasm and being honest about yourself. Blessings Nelson. Btw: have you done any of Ren's songs? I recommend the Money Game Trilogy and his newest Money Ties. See ya soon ....
Bro it’s just you and Uncle Ray from #vibereacts that are willing to admit y’all had a different perspective and have changed your mind, but also y’all break down bars with your own personality
Some song references... Mac L started the beef after Toms song called Straight White Male. The pink braids are from Toms music video Everybody Hates Me. Both songs show different sides of Tom that you haven't really seen yet. I'm Sorry is a song similar to No Response. That's my favorite out of the 2.
"I'm Sorry" is also very lyrically heavy. You'll love that one too.
@HollerMa71 this is probably my favorite Tom song. This and God Mode 🙌 🙏🏼 😍 ❤️ I cannot wait until he reacts to I'm Sorry 😁
At the the end he mentions “Death threats” ghost stories” and “gravestones” all albums of toms
and a ufo
To this day, I still consider this song his crown jewel.
“I’m sorry” by Tom goes really hard too!
I agree "I'm Sorry" should be next for sure.
100% that song is one of my favorites to beat in my car
This one is so fking hard bro, i also recommend "Boombap101" if you want some real cool shit that goes hard af too
Yes, if you liked this, he literally goes off in the same vein, in “I’m Sorry”. When I need a boost of confidence, with a shot of feistiness…”I’m Sorry”
I think Tom MacDonald would suck if it wasn't for the fact that he's perfect in every way 😂❤
1) He's a lyrical genius.
2) He is brutally honest.
3) His beats and flows are never the same.
4) He has a savage work ethic.
5) He and his family are the team, and we as fans feel like Tom's family is our family. When an album drops, they literally sign the albums, stuff the envelopes, package the merch, and take it all to the post office themselves!
6) He's above the dissing.
7) He has the most diverse and massive fanbase of any independent artist out there.
8) He is constantly creating, and gives us so much material to feed on.
9) He uses his rags to riches story to inspire and encourage.
10) The uniqueness of Tom as a person. He's a genuine, caring human being who will never betray anyone he cares about. He doesn't even believe in doing Meet n Greets or VIP passes because in the past (and when he performs in the future), he stays after the show as long as it takes to meet fans, sign merch, and take pics.
Don't forget he has donated over 300k to US Vets a charitable organization that helps the homeless vets! Hee also takes time to talk with his fans in discord dozens and dozens of times per year.
@mikeg2203 yes! I screenshot several times he replied to me on Discord and said thank you, and said he couldn't do it without us. That's a very special artist/fan connection. And I believe he's more American than most Americans. He's a living breathing example of the American Dream. And he's grateful for it.
I can confirm meeting him after the concert in Milwaukee. My wife has MS and lost her legs halfway through his set. I got in line after the concert while she sat in the theater seats. I asked him and Nova if my wife could come up in line with me, and I explained why. Tom looks at Nova and whispers something to her. Then responds, fck that we'll go to her!

Reaction to "My Fans" this one reason why HOG is so loyal to him
Know too, we will be here for the full long version of the song. We are that loyal to the very end. ♥
That's when I joined the family 😊 I started with "The System"
I'm sure you would like his song "I Don't Care." It's really deep and relatable. It's one of my favorites from his catalogue.
I don’t care is soooo freaking underrated
ABSOLUTELY UNDERRATED!🧡
It's one of my favorites. Absolutely underrated!
One of my favorites too
“We silently and violently reminded you the ocean’s dark” gives me chills every time
Told you he was really conscious. His whole discography tells a story. The way I see it, with each song/video/album he puts out, he keeps adding rungs to a ladder, saying, "Meet me up here.

I'm Sorry is a must listen it's 🔥
Imo I'm Sorry is still Tom's hardest song. 🔥
@reneeharper4863 agreed! I love I'm Sorry even more :)
U wanna hear a song that could be on the radio and is up lifting and is catchy as well… listen to “I wish “
YES! One of my all time favorite tracks from ANY artist!

Next reaction should be "I'm Sorry", followed by "This House" or "Best Rapper Ever"
All bars, no hook, just 🔥🔥🔥

How better to respond to those who want to bring Nova into it... Since he said she helps work the hooks.. let's respond with no hook 😉

God Mode
This house
I'm Sorry
Don't Look Down
But I'm pretty sure that's an unpopular opinion.... and it doesn't account for the fact that "I'm Sorry" features my absolute favorite line in any Tom song. "I'm sorry" would rank much higher if it was longer
"Knock Knock"... fans know what I mean.
Ill say it like everyone else to affirm the path. "Im sorry" then one of my top 3 "This House"

Death threats was his first album it had Dear Rappers on it. His follow up album was Ghost stories. Then he released Gravestones.
There are probably a dozen songs/album names he dropped in this song.

Deaththreats
GhostStories
GraveStones
Are all names of Tom's albums!!!
Skill wise , "boom bap 101" , more intensity, "don't look down ". My favorite song by Tom, "Scars"
Anyone who says Tom has no talent has only seen the political songs and will never see the true greatness in Tom he shows here.
Wow first time someone realised how hard his i don't expect to see heaven bar is. It's my favourite line of his. Because i feel it.
Hate I missed this! Like others, "I'm Sorry" is amazing, and you gotta do "This House", it was the response to all the hate he got from his song "Whiteboy" and is just amazing lyrically. You should also make sure to do Boom Bap 101 - its a fan made video here on YT with a shirtless Tom in sweat pants. The other one that's an older song is "Sad Rappers" - it touches on Big Pharma and mental health and the rap industry.
Also, definitely get back on your Ren rabbit hole! Genesis is a great one by Ren to do next. There's both a video and an acoustic version that are great - you could do both in one video bc they are both amazing and a bit different. Ren does acoustic versions of a good many of his raps and songs. Its really amazing!
Question, do you want to just do hip hop/rap or are you interested in diving into other Genres of music? Just curious!
Ok, I'll hush now lol! So sorry I missed this Nelson! Hopefully I'll catch the next one! As always, sending blessings from Bama!
This song and Tom's intent behind this song is the reason we're all very good with Tom not responding to 'lil' rappers like Mac Weasel and other smaller rappers' nonsense. ❤#HOG ❤
And this was how he announced the title of the Gravestones album 🤭 fans went nuts for that last line😁as much as they loved the whole track.. that announcement was 😱😱😱❤️🔥❤️🔥
I already commented but I gotta say your final reaction at the end made me smile so much!! Definitely one of my favorite reactions... the best!!
Subscribe ya'll!! Dude seriously has one of the best break downs in the game. If you're here for a "listen and go", then just go and LISTEN to TOM. Otherwise, hit that subscribe button-- man deserves it. No, Im NOT affiliated or benefiting, just giving Thoughts a shout out cuz he's GOOD!
This was the song that introduced me to Tom. It came up as a suggested in UA-cam for me. After it was over, Subscribed to Tom's channel and jumped headfirst into the REAL rabbit hole.
Also discovered what had happened to Nova. There couldn't be a better power couple.

"I'm Sorry" is also a lyrically great song by Tom 🔥🔥
at the end of the song he references a couple of his albums, Deaththreats, Ghost stories, and gravestones are all album names.
Check out dont look down by Tom MacDonad
Tom’s albums Death Threats, Ghost Stories and Gravestones.
Tom is my favorite artist. I am not a big fan of Rap but I love his style of Rap I prefer Rock and metal usually. He is so versatile and unique and that totally draws me in. I find I am liking the Independent rappers because they have so much more substance.#Hog4life
You'd love I'm Sorry and Riot for short and straight to the point.
The picture he can paint with his lyrics is how I know he is a good lyricist. I see the scene. Usually a crime scene.
Also a fan of the dark energy for sure! I love how much you love this one! What a great reaction, fire as always! ☆♡☆♡☆
Final verse...Death threats, Ghost stories, Gravestones ... All 3 are album titles he released. They are all 🔥🔥🔥
Great reaction! Once you learn his catalogue, up to that point, you will see many references to previous songs. Harkens to his mention of Da Vinci Code in the song.
Death Threats , Ghost stories and Grave Stones are his album names . that whole rap was all Bars
First listen to this I felt like I'd been hit with a mac truck lol. Love dark eyed Tom!
Way back in 2018 I heard 2 Tom songs and asked my son if he heard of Tom...He said he loved Tom and had already been to a concert. I've bought every signed CD from the beginning and gave them to my son for his wedding gift, at the time it was my 8 albums. I have the Wild Ones hoodie and CDs waiting for his Christmas gift this year. I'm keeping the T shirt!!
Not sure Knox had anything to do with the ghost writing diss, but Crypt did for sure.
Knox likes Tom.
PS gives me so much joy that an EM fan decided to give Tom a chance!
Been waiting for this!
This song is in my top 3 favorite Tom songs. I’m Sorry and Best Rapper Ever are also really high on my list. Best Rapper Ever is a great song, but the video is, probably, my favorite work by Nova. Definite must see. ✌🏻🙏🏻❤️😊
I don't think Knox was in on the original Mac Lethal diss. It was Crypt, Logic, and a few others of that tier. Fellow HOG, correct me if I am wrong. But Knox has always been complimentary of Tom to my knowledge.
And the rumor is that last diss Mac dropped on Tom was written entirely by AI.
In "God Mode" he also said God saves
This is one my favorite reaction videos so far! ❤ You’re doing great man!
Can't wait for "Cancelled" and "I Don't Care".
I'm confident that you keep going down the rabbit hole and eventually he'll be your #1 too!
Deathtreats and Ghostories are his two albums that already were dropped. Gravestones was his new album that was dropping. Love black contact Tom! I always can see pictures in my head when he spits his lyrics. He is a genius! #HOG4EVER
As No Response showed two distinct sides of Tom. You should go deeper with them and do "Best Rapper Ever" when you get a chance. I'm sure you'd appreciate it
This is his lyrical magnum opus!🔥 I am loving watching your Tom journey! I really think you need to go down the Falling in Reverse rabbit hole
The whole finding Nemo scheme was directed at Mac because he was on the Ellen Show and she was Dory's voice in the movie. Tom is brilliant genius! Love this song! #HOG4EVER
Can't wait to see you react to don't look down. Unless I missed it I've not seen you do that yet. After hearing you speak real to the ghostwriting, I have a new respect
‘I’m crazy’ is awesome. It’s from 7 or 8 years ago, it’s on his channel but there’s no video as such. He’s always had the bars. Even if you don’t react, take a listen 💜🫶🏻🇦🇺
❤❤❤❤❤❤
He literally has a crown of thorns and devil horns. He has a skull tatted on each side of his face, One with a crown of thorns and the other with devil horns, he usually covers that one with his hair.
I'm going to be selfish & say that I'm kinda glad that you slept on him. Now, we get to go on this journey WITH you. I Sooo enjoy seeing someone discover Tom.
I felt like this back in 2017 when my sons introduced me to his music. I rediscovered my love for Rap. I'm a bigger fan than they are now! Lol
🔥 well it’s not selfish! I mean it’s coincidentally bringing success and growth to my channel so you’re right
Best Rapper Ever is a solid song, different from where we are at with this one it’s about him battling himself
Excited to see your reaction to this one
You really need some of his albums, he has so many songs that are not on YT that hit so hard! Love that you are going thru these songs tho, nice comments
DeathThreats, Ghost Stories, and Gravestones were his first 3 albums after he blew up. The ending of the video when he mentioned Gravestones was a hint at an album drop.
Best rapper ever is a great video
Really need to check out I'm sorry
❤❤Tom❤Nova
This House
Fires 🔥 🔥 🔥
Deathreats, Ghostsories, amd Gravestones are three of his main albums. This was an album drop song, kinda like his newest one Cowboys
6 minutes of just bars, no hook, no filler.
Comon' Nelson....pick any Tom MacDonald performance and I will be here. You are giving me a lesson on HipHop every time I pop in. Love your enthusiasm and being honest about yourself. Blessings Nelson. Btw: have you done any of Ren's songs? I recommend the Money Game Trilogy and his newest Money Ties. See ya soon ....
Bro it’s just you and Uncle Ray from #vibereacts that are willing to admit y’all had a different perspective and have changed your mind, but also y’all break down bars with your own personality
Uncle Ray keeps it real... 100%
My fav line ( remind you the oceans dark )
Yes let’s do bar by bar ❤
Some song references...
Mac L started the beef after Toms song called Straight White Male.
The pink braids are from Toms music video Everybody Hates Me.
Both songs show different sides of Tom that you haven't really seen yet.
I'm Sorry is a song similar to No Response. That's my favorite out of the 2.
