Tom isn't just a rapper, he's a poet and a master at his craft. You don't have to agree with everything he says to appreciate his honesty and courage. He says things alot of us are too afraid to say.
This track is beautifully genius. Not only is it humble to recognize his vulnerability and expose them to the world, that makes it damn near impossible for the opposition to attack him on points that he already brought up
Much Love! & Much appreciated...this is what depression and anxiety and the battle with addiction look like. Portrayed perfectly and beaten with the confidence we all need to find within ourselves!
@Steve Clarke ...Will do. I have not heard him yet but I have heard of him. I will go take a listen though! We play a lot of Tom Macdonald at the Veterans Club where I volunteer. This song resonated with so many of them. Some of these guys are a little tough to get through to but this song (& all Tom's songs #HOG) have been blessings as really impactful conversation starters! But I've heard this a LOT so Ren will be coming up!!! Thanks for the recommendation!!!
EPIC Respect for Tom and his having the huevos to shine light on the battle that most of us fight in secret. 🔥🔥🔥 For anyone battling depression or anxiety, know that #HOG The Army and we are in your corner. Our demons only have as much power as we give them. #hangovergang forever 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🏿🤘🏽
Listening to you, I felt many emotions and you helped me so much I thought maybe just maybe a mental health therapist could help me if they spoke with this honesty.
I struggle with imposter syndrome. Everytime something good comes into my life, anytime I start to get ahead, that nagging voice in the back of my head starts up. "You're not good enough for this", "You don't deserve this", or "They're going to find out you're just a fraud, and kick you out". This song hits me deep.
let me be honest this is day 5 without using something i have been using for 6 years on of today my brain said you got this undercontrole just do it one more time... this video basically game me more motivation to not do it i really appreciate it
I Love this song! This is the song that introduced me to Tom! I've never looked back since! Awesome reaction! Thanks ❤️ Much Love! #Hangovergang #Nova Rockafeller #Best Rapper Ever
Here for it! This is one of my morning commute Beast Mode songs! I start up my engine with this, "Don't look down", "No Response", "I'm sorry" and "I hate Hip-Hop". One or more of these in the mix, every morning. On the way home, though, I play songs like "Buttholes" and "Fake Fans" and "Sheeple"-"Brainwashed"-"The System". A Tom song for each purpose. #HOG #HOGEurope
Unbelievable what those two can do together. The work behind all of it and every one they do is incredible. The pressure has to be tremendous especially when you are always in competition with yourself. I'm always impressed with how they keep it constantly real from what they do to who they are. Hats off with a standing ovation. To have the strength of will to be able to keep an addiction under control is outstanding to me and why I understand the terrible lows, the constant daily urge that some days just breaks you down and you get songs like Famous and Balloons and Withdrawals and Hangman just barely holding on and then the sun is a bit brighter and warmer and the smile is back secretly hoping it lasts longer this time and it usually does. Ray you are one of the courageous guys, one of the good ones and especially one of the real ones. Much love♥🙏🏽🤙🏽✌🏽#HOG4EVER
Bro ray this was the realest breakdown I’ve seen. No rapper should be put in a box. We preach individuality then put people in a box, we say we are individuals but point fingers at others till THEY put THEMSELVES in a box. What happened to treat others how YOU want to be treated?!?!
I haven't seen one of your reactions in a while My friend. I was so excited this morning when I saw the notification pop up! I really love your work. Tom and Nova killed it on this one. It was not even like a video it was like a movie. Definitely a power couple.
I listen to Angeles and Demons in the car daily, Best Rapper Ever is my second favourite song from Tom, if Angeles and Demons had a music video it might overtake it.
FYI this took number one on iTunes over Eminem’s entire new album the same week it dropped! He had this video ready and waiting for Eminem to drop just to see how he would compete!! The primary message behind this song and video is that if you see hate comments or someone says something directly to you that is negative you can’t let that overtake you and who you are. He is saying that we have to be stronger than the negative voices and stay confident and work hard to achieve our goals. In other words don’t let outside words and opinions make you forget who you know you are and what you know you are capable of #BestRapperEver #HangoverGangForever🔥🤘🌟🏆
RAY SUCH A GOOD REACTION. WHEN YOU'RE FIGHTING YOU'RE MIND IT'S HARD AND YOU'RE RIGHT WE CAN'T GIVE IN. THAT'S WHAT TOM DID AT THE END HE FOUGHT BACK AND WON. LOVED THE REACTION AND HEY YOU LIKE ROCK YOU SHOULD REALLY GIVE METALLICA A LISTEN TO IF YOU DO START WITH FADE TO BLACK IT'S NOT A HARD SONG. HANGOVERGANG FOREVER
This is my third video I’ve watched so far and I have to tell you , you are an awesome human! Thank you for your words and your videos! You speak what you feel and aren’t fake. I love it! Thank u
Just wanted to say how much I appreciated this reaction and everything you said!! ❤️ Much love!! I struggle with depression and addiction as well and I know you said Tom is really good at explaining things and getting his point across, but man, I really felt everything you were saying about being in my own head and getting out of my own way!! So thank you, I really needed to hear that!! Respect !
Yo Big Ray, str8 up, i watch n are subscribed to several reaction channels which are great, but you my nigga bro. You the realist to me as far as life experiences.

Love ya brother #5150🤘🖤🤍💯💫👀
THIS one hits in 2024, but more importantly it will HIT HARDER IN 35+ years,💯😤 ADDICTION AND MENTAL ILLNESS IS HERE TO STAY. We gave them ROOTS 🎋IN THE CULTURE IF THIS 🇺🇸🇺🇲 AND 🌎 Keep it up UNC RAY, one day we will haNg out,NO DIDDY❤😂
16:26 This is actually roughly a 200million year old survival instinct lol. We are hardwired to focus on the negative so we can survive danger, use past negative experiences to adjust our actions to avoid and/or use caution around danger, and also adjust our social selves to avoid being hated/detested/shunned etc. by others(we need interaction/affection). Example. We get burnt by fire, we adjust subconsciously to use greater caution in the future without having to think about it. If someone insults us(hard truth or troll) we try to understand why and reflect on our actions, and make adjustments to our behavior if needed. Unless you're a sociopath, we feel regret and guilt when we hurt others, and that in turn helps us stay in line in the future. We have a greater chance of survival if we avoid danger and conduct ourselves as maturely as possible.. With the positive, there is nothing to learn lol. Pleasure/love/happiness/compliments etc. all affirm nothing is "wrong". There is no need to fix something that isn't broken haha
In my opinion, Tom MacDonald is far beyond (Eminem) just being a great rapper. His title of his latest album says it all. BRAVE. Additionally, in one of his podcasts he says he thanks God everyday therefore he will always remain above all.
Great and inciteful reaction💪 The video, the rap, the production/mixing, all amazing and epic. Thought I was watching a full on drama/thriller movie. Thanks! #HangOverGang
