Tom MacDonald - BEST RAPPER EVER | Music Reaction 

“I’m the darkness... Yeah I got night vision” -TM 🤘🏼

Being a alcoholic and addict that struggles with irrational fears hourly it is a constant battle with ones self. This song seems to be him dealing with his shadow self and ego death. Great song, video and all around vibe.

Love the shift in height when Tom begins pushing back on his demons, the height difference began to level out when he was venting in the shower scene. Very cinematic video.. Nova is a Goddess of the Edit while Tom is a God in Lyrics. Compliment each other so dam much and perfectly.

You guys are so humble , and that's all this world needs , humble people. I really enjoy watching you guys having your take on what he says. Same with other artists. Keep up the good work.

One thing I love about Thomas 👇 He is a genius story teller Facts and Truth always !!! H.O.G. FAM forever 🤗❣️🤗

Shout out to Tom, speaking his greatness into existence.

I love watching you two brake down songs.

Our minds are our own worst enemy from achieving our calling, destiny or whatever our greatness is! This is for everybody! Great visuals of the dialogue we have internally within ourselves. We get in our own heads and don't amount to what we're capable of cause of fear and these battles we have with our own demons! BE the BEST YOU, YOU CAN BE at whatever it is!

Loved the breakdowns!!!

Brains observation on Thomas vs Tom is spot on! Wow!

Yes, his demon not only reminds him of his past but inspires him of his future.

What I see in this video is to believe in yourself and don't allow self doubt hold you back.

good catch when you described the shirtless Tom as vulnerable by being stripped down. Smart point.

2:30 Yes! The point of the song in a nutshell! Love watching you guys! H.O.G.

Awesome reaction!! Love the breakdown!! Another 🔥 song from Tom!!

Love your reactions. Tom is dropping another video today Christmas morning 9am pacific, titled Angels i do believe!! HOG4EVER!

Beard, the speech on authenticity was spot on.

As to "Beard's" comment about the inner battle - it's VERY relateable. Most of us have "discussions with folks who aren't there" and never want to talk about it - but we all do it. I struggled with alcohol when I was younger, and later I used it (my struggle) to mentor others of "hey, I had this issue this too" to help them navigate their way out of the mine field. And what "Brains" said about how our insecurities are what drive us. That "it's necessary" to drive us. Many friends I had went into Tier 1 schools & the Ivy League - whereas I joined the military for college money - then the war started and I'm like "I'll stay until it's over" (and .... sigh, 20 years later) So now I'm a 51 year old 2L student in law school. I conquered my demons and am using my "insecurities" to say "I can do this too" - and I am LOVING law school. 22-25 year kids are ... a challenge, but had those in my former career too. This video he did really spoke to me - great commentary by you two! Keep up doing the reaction vids!!!

I like the line "I'm the best rapper ever, I don't wanna be Great, if they're the best then I'm better, don't you make no mistake!" to me that line says that he is good with himself as well as it's a call out to all those that claim to be the best saying that he is better... The point you made about being authentic, I don't really consider myself a rap / hip-hop fan and yet because of his music I have found myself waiting for the next release and have also been checking out some of the people that he Co-sings with... I feel that he is good for the genre.

I love tom Macdonald because he's bank of facts

amazing!! another great reaction!

Great reaction guys. Much love. HOG 4 EVER!!

Triple of Tom in the end chorus. Now I'm really analyzing the visuals. Almost as if he is making room for or marrying his demon to his vulnerability. Which honestly is why many of us love him. He's a beast and a really good, thoughtful, observant dude. Nova, the video is just. I don't even have the right words.

Wow, you are so right. The first time I saw this video, I cried because I related to the internal battle so much. But I didn't notice that he was saying you had to embrace your demons until you just said it. I think that's why the last chorus has the shadow and his main self fading in and out while singing. Its like saying, they reached a compromise. My husband was telling me that Carl Jung said you have to go to the negotiation table with your shadows and find a way to live together and integrate them--that our shadows are actually parts of ourselves that we broke off because we were scared of them. So when the two parts are fading in and out at the end during the chorus, maybe Tom is saying he reintegrated the shadow and found a way to make it work to help him rather than hurt him. Wow, very powerful.

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 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🏿🤘🏽

Big Tom called upon the two wolves story and ol' boy is letting it be known which one he's feeding.. without a doubt he is the goat because of it!

Great reaction - Tom is killing it! #HOG4LIFE

This is along the same lines as nf intro 3. They are both deep internal fights put in musical form. Both gave me goosebumps

Fav Fav reaction channel!!!!!!!!!! I love you guys!!!!!!!!

What a big day for rap bangers! Eminem and Tom in the same day! What a way to end off 2020!

Amazing reaction

Cinematic is the right word. Amazing is another, and creative, unique, insightful, gutsy... Toms in his own lane and he’s winning the race! HOG4EVER 🤘🤘🤘

I love Tom he for me is the best rapper ever #hangovergang4life

The only reactors who truly analyze music videos with intellectual flare 👏👏👏

Always excited to watch you two react, great job as always.

#hangovergang #tommacdonald #nova always gets thumbs up

Great reaction

You have a really fresh perspective on the self doubt aspect and how it can actually drive you if it you do not give in to those feelings. We need to focus on our potential and not where we are currently.

A new subscriber here for sure, you guys are dope

much to all the hog gang!!! this caught me off guard! weird part is i've have had the anxiety shit going on today..........

Liked and subscribed you guys did a great break down.

The brains can break down the music and video like nobody I’ve ever seen on RU-vid 👍💪

Dope

Thank you

Someone recommended Daechwita by Agust D. Its great suggestion but i would like you to react to The Last by Agust D. This is one of the tracks in BTS' Suga alter ego Agust D's first solo album from 2016. The song is about his inner struggles, his poor mental state at some point of his life and the hardships he's been through as a teenager and a trainee. Its very deep, sincere and extremely emotional song. You can clearly hear and sense the pain in his voice. Another great song treating similar subject as Tom Macdonalds' Best rapper is Interlude: Shadow - Another Suga solo song. Make sure you watch the full length version cuz there's an extra verse in it. It's all about success and the fear of being insanely famous.

Jungian vibes, glad I'm not the only one who interpreted this song that way.

I like ole girls thoughts about the song! Sorry I don’t know your name, but you mentioned some things I hadn’t thought of and I’ve listened to this song now like 50X! Lol! Like about the “devil subconscious” saying his full name! Plus, some other things you said too! Very interesting perspective! Great reaction though!! Keep the Tom reactions coming!❤️

lil durk - 1 773 vulture you guys will love it

Get the Kid a Throne!!!! *Best EVER* #HOG4LIFE

No-one seems to catch that both sides sing the chorus.. it's like he's inflating his ego from the dark side.

*EMINEM* DROPPED A BRAND NEW 16 SONG ALBUM LAST NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT AGAIN*. MTBMB B-SIDE & THE VERY FIRST VIDEO IZ CALLED "GNAT" DIRECTED BY @COLE BENNETT

Liked the reaction but I think brains needs to rewatch... I think it's about standing up against "The shadow" not cooperating with it

Tom is a gifted rapper but he ain't no where near Eminem realm

react to lord i know bro kid cudi and gnat for eminem

Interesting seeing an Asian mindset regarding its “necessary “ to have these non stop pushes (abuse - maybe from parents, mental or physical) and continual striving - and mental health is secondary or actually unimportant. Anyone raised in an Asian family will understand although I don’t think it’s healthy anymore. A small dose ok

React to Ryan upchurch and Adam clahoun
