This song was like a triple shot of expresso for me. Today I was so depressed I just ran out of energy and took a four hour nap. After I watched this I was hyped as F*CK!
Honestly, I think this is one of the best songs he's dropped. This shit gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Low key already know it word for word, Its been on repeat all day 😂
It has a bigger meaning behind aswell i think. It's not just you can't effect me, but i think he went for i acknowledge the darkness around me but you can't stop me from finding my way.
He need to worry about him n stop comparing himself to tom. We all think songs are written for us. But I think he just trying to get hit for the compare.
Who is the rapper ballsy enough to give his alter ego, depression and manifestation of all of his anxiety equal mic time. He's amplifying his insecurities with a track and promoting it so he can fight back. This is a rap battle between Tom and his mental health. And giving those negative thoughts equal time time, saying the most horrible, under handed, low blows. Only people with anxiety understand that voice. The things its willing to say to you. This was transformative and special. Production as well.
@JuicyMusicprod sort of a pedantic point but you are correct. I meant to say Anxiety Disorder. If you're lucky enough to not see yours in the mirror anymore, be glad you're not a sufferer of severe chronic mental disorder that is a lifelong struggle. Yes, anxiety can leave you. If it does, it's not a disorder though. A disorder is, by definition, a chronic case that overpowers you, and usually irrationally.
@JuicyMusicprod same. And ostensibly, neither will Tom's. He fights his own demons to inspire us to break our own. To stand up to our own. To not compromise. This teared me up inside. How happily the ego is ragging on him. How smug the ego is. The phrase "you can't lie to me" has so many layers of truth.
literally everyone has anxiety. Even animals have anxiety. It’s a natural function. The problem isn’t anxiety, it’s the fact that we’re anxious for no reason. Always in this hyped up fight or flight mode. I have it too, I’m conscious of it while it’s happening but can’t stop it...
@JuicyMusicprod yes. I’m saying anxiety is a natural function of the body for everyone. The disorder is when we get anxiety for no reason at all and go into panic/fight or flight mode uncontrollably with no real threat around.
I want to hear this guys song, that Tom stole.......lol I’m sure Tom hacked into his computer and took that song....what is he actually trying to say? That the songs sound similar or just straight up stollen, i have never even heard of this guy he was just in my feed all of a sudden.
@@TenkiRyu he means you are stating something very obvious and because he does this fairly often (not taking away from the value and meaning of the song just stating a fact)
@@centipedicmonster5084Yeah I tend to state the obvious. His other videos with his demon/alter ego is not at all like this one. More like he wants to move forward without it.
He wasn't telling us he's the best rapper, he is trying to tell himself...imo And damn, God bless you Crypt, but you starting to sound like a fan! Welcome to the HOG family my brother! (Mac won't mind,lol) Can't walt to hear yours!
love the fact that the first time the hook hits it's just him... and the second time you hear it both sides are singing it and 'bad tom' almost seems like he's MOCKING his words. MAN I have repeated this vid of his and I keep seeing SO MUCH MORE each time. EVERYONE goes through this and he is just spitting it out. I FEEL this one on ALL levels. Great react!
@@omgpancakesyum The only thing I heard from this comment is. “Oh I’m a butthurt troll on the internet that doesn’t want anyone to like this new song that Tom Macdonald created”. That’s the only thing I read. I must be blind or something. Hint: This is me telling you that no one cares if it is an exact copy or not. (Which it isn’t by the way)
Out of all the reactors I've seen so so far on this video, youre the first one to mention he gets bigger when he starts talking back to his demon. You have a keen eye there guy 👌 great artists think alike bruh
Everybody complaining about how Crypt was surprised about how similar he and Tom's problems are. He's quite obviously not dissing Tom over the fact that they have similar problems, he's probably just amazed by how similar both of their problems and the way they express them are.
Is it just me or is Tom a mad man for titling "Best rapper alive" and having all these reactions with the titles saying "Tom Mcdonald best rapper ever" lmao
"this is falling in line with the song that I have ALREADY MADE, and its coming out next year WHEN IM DONE WRITING IT" lol just release it we will listen
It’s ok Crypt. Great minds think alike. At least it’s Tom and he won’t trash you and accuse you of biting his shit like the majority of other artists would.
This track is fighting with No response as my favourite Tom track of 2020! Ive watched so many reactions and i still get goosebumps. Can't wait to see your track as well! it probably sounds just as sick loved thape reaction, cheers👏
I was impressed as well. Can't wait to hear your song and I look forward to your insights on struggles. Identifying with lyrics help me know I'm not alone and since I'm not an artist I feel like you guys express what I can't. 🙏❤️
When his demon is bigger than him and speaks to him, that shit is seriously real. The sincerity in the demon's voice, damn. That's some Oscar-level shit.
Tom been growing on true hip hop heads because his ability steadily improving constantly. This song is so far his absolute best. This song will hit with regular people on stop many levels. Drugs, depression, and anxiety, and to address it all in one go, was masterfully created. This was am amazing track IMO.
You’ve got some of the best reaction because you don’t just say everything is dope. I like that you actually give your opinion on what you like and don’t like. You and layedbak keep it real.
Dude your reaction to this song is the funniest shit I have seen all week 🤣🤣 the confusion in your face is priceless 😂 even if you have a song similar to toms am sure it will be fire bro 🔥🔥
I like his verses but hooks ruin many of his tracks for me. But of course nothing can stop me from liking music I like, so I use audio editors to crop out the hooks 🤣. Some are cool though, this hook was half good with rock style, the autotune singing part was wack. The one in I don't care was decent too. But yeah, I usually crop out hooks if I really want to keep any of his song
This song is about the duality of dark and light each and every single one of us face at one time or another in life, if not every single day. When you understand that, you understand that God and the Devil are one person and that one person is you. He has to remind himself that if he doesn't truly believe he's the best rapper ever, in his own mind, he'll never achieve that goal. It's the weapon he uses to win the impossible fight against himself. The sword in the stone, if you will. He is portraying the inner fight and paranoia and is recognizing that at the end of the day he is his own competition and his own worst enemy. He's not ripping Eminem off. If anything he's paying homage to My Darling and Guilty Conscience. Tom has praised him many times as an influencer and his inspiration to do what he's doing. He even directly says "You're not Eminem!". This is most likely because Tom is a Caucasian hip-hop/rap artist. Imagine the comparisons he hears every single day just because of those two simple factors. The brilliant move behind him dropping a new song titled Best Rapper Ever on the day one of the best rappers to ever exist is an unfounded strategy clearly working in his favor. As of last night he surpassed every song on Eminem's new album leading #1 on the iTunes chart the day of it's release. That's a phenomenal accomplishment that no one can take from him regardless how you feel about him as a person or an artist. We are literally watching Tom and Nova's legacies as they are being built right in front of us. Their work comes to fruition so seamlessly. It's an unstoppable union and Nova deserves credit where credit is due. She's a powerhouse of talent, creativity, and vision in her own right. They both are and together they've already elevated the bar that other rapper's, even some of the greats, have failed to raise. Complacency can be a killer of careers in the entertainment industry. People tend to lose respect for artists because the material they deliver eventually goes stale. I don't believe that will be the case with this team. Tom and Nova have a way of pulling you out of your comfort zone in such a way but you can't help but be captivated and before you even realize what happened you're hooked. The vulnerability and raw emotion is where rap started. It began as a way to tell stories of real life and daily struggle while incorporating rhythm, beat, and rhyme. Tom embodies the true essence of what it means to an entire culture and stays true it's origin while pioneering new ideas, standards, and knocking down the walls that have been built around the genre. Best of luck to them both and I hope people will be able to see beyond the surface and feel the message they try to convey🖤
I think the telling thing is that he’s saying he’s done these things, but we all know he’s jealous because of Tom’s talent and lines! He’s obviously trying to claim Tom’s masterpiece and craft as his own and saying “oh it falls in line with my song”!
This isn't the first time Crypt has claimed that Tom has a song just like something that he's had "planned" Let's all remember, this single knocked Eminem whole ass album out of #1
And NF does a song where he’s talking to himself in a mirror before Tom did no disrespect to Tom not saying he copied cuz Tom is a beast and he does him
@@mhnd1388 Tell me how? I just listened to both. Can't see anything copied, different beats, lyrics not the same. The only thing they both do is talking to "themselves", that's not copying a song. So give me some examples I can look at.
Haha think about it. Nova and him do all his videos by theirselves, so that means when tom was being pushed up the wall he was most likely standing on her shoulders
