WHY DOES HE KEEP SAYING THIS!? | Tom MacDonald - "DON'T LOOK DOWN" - Retired Rapper Reacts 

Be lying if I didn’t say I was waiting on this one. As usual…incredible work bro. Unmatched. Lotsa love ❤️🙏🏻

I buried my husband 4 days ago and am so scared to be a single mother and raise my kids without him. After Tom gave us this bad ass track, gave me the determination that I need to be the best mother ever and make my husband proud. I won't look down.

"If I'm so trash....why don't y'all release your videos on a Friday? Because that's MY DAY"

"not removing any copyrights.. he's removed mine"..... Mic hits floor. Very funny

RIP to your brave Mom. I'm so sorry you lost her, she obviously made a huge impact on your life.

The first thought I had the first time I heard Tom was something like "That was a hell of a lot of work", but the second was "This man reads". I'm convinced of it, reading and writing are how you get that good with language

Flawd breaks this shit down better then anyone in the game. He's the Tom MacDonald of reactors Lol

"I'm an open-minded hater." Flawdzilla 2021

RIP TO YOUR MOTHER BROTHER, I’m sure she’s proud of you 🙏 Like we are !!!

I swear I've watched 30 reactions to this song waiting for this one, lol

Flawd, I followed you when you first started, Tom popped up on my screen and like you , I was like who the f$&k is this dude? After the first song , I had to research, the story, the climb, the journey, next thing I know I bought a cd for the first time in 20 years and it was Tom’s. Flawd , you are so real , that’s why we all f with you too! Peace ✌️ my brother

You’re totally right about Tom’s dedication to his fan base. I’ve only been listening to him for about 6 months but it’s all I play and the guy is just straight motivation for me to do more.

If you can't feel all that emotions in this video, you're missing the point. Dude was in his living room spilling his heart out to all of us, absolutely incredible

THE RASPY VOICE AND PASSION MAKE THIS A 10/10 NEVER MIND ALL THE TOP TIER BARS. MASTERPIECE !!!!

He wasn't saying he's not a great rapper, he was insinuating that his haters felt that way - they're angry he's famous and 'not a great rapper'. He knows he's fire. lol.

Fly-by additionally means, that he's not on the same level as his haters, he has to fly low to even reach them. :)

Sorry about the audio issues in this video. They have been fixed already and won't be an issue in my next upload. I can't thank ya'll enough for the love and support ya'll continue to give me on this journey.

A "hoarse" ride;) Notice how he did the song in one sitting with him screaming his soul out and getting hoarser and hoarser. This is the level this dude plays on. He uses the natural phenomenon of straining his vocal cords over time to enhance his music. That is the definition of next level.

Tom’s camera presence isn’t talked about enough! Not a lot of rappers have that, without looking awkward as hell. He has those acting skills.

No cap... this is the best reactor on YT. You can tell this dude puts work and his heart into his reactions kinda like Tom puts his heart and soul into his songs. I wish nothing but continued success for you my man - which I 100% see coming. You always get out what you put in. 🙏🏼

Fire is not the word... a flame thrower doesn't even cut it, it's like NAPALM!!💥💥💯💥💥

This video explains everything. For example, the other day it started raining on me during a clear, sunny day, but when I looked up it was just Tom taking a leak.

I paused your vid when I heard you lost your mom. Man I'm really sorry for that, you seem like a good guy and nobody deserves that. I'm sorry for your loss brother, there aren't any other words I can really come up with beyond that.

You’re on your way to big success man. I can see the effort you’re putting into these videos and it’s dope. Your moms is proud I’m sure.

"I'm an open minded hater" FIRE right there. That's my new mantra!

Battling depression and addiction. Now having some clean success in life! 😍 Shoot, ride that cloud, stand on top of the ladder and DONT LOOK DOWN!💙💙 Side note.. My brother has battled drug addiction all his life . Now has a 4yr daughter and 4 years CLEAN. 😍😊 Because of her, he is riding high on Daddy hood. He says this is his anthem. DONT LOOK DOWN!!!! Dont let anyone drag or hold you down. 💗

Flaw, I can honestly say this reaction touched me. My dad has terminal cancer and I understand your love for your mom. Just know she is looking down on you with angel wings and is so proud of you!

This guy can bring tears to your eyes! Keep it up Tom Mcdonald! We feeling ya!

My favorite thing about tom is that you can feel his ambition in his voice. The rasp near the end. He worked his ass off on this track and he deserves everything he has. What a fucking legend.

Tom's reminding you just incase you forgot that he's a straight up beast on the mic🔥💀🔥💀🔥💀 The emotion man, mad respect superstar🤘🤘🤘Your sky is my ground💀🥶....enough said HOG 4 EVER AND A DAY Great reaction💯😉

Tom understands, that even smart brilliant people, have demons, he knows what his FREE TIME used to revolve around, he knows it was hell, he does not want that for OTHER PEOPLE, and so anyone who listens to his music, becomes his family. His message is FROM THE HEART, FOR ANYONE WHO IS HOPELESS. Only blind people can’t see, everyone else is just refusing to look!!!

If your expectations for society aren't low I suggest you reevaluate society as a whole.

The way Tom ended this one gave me chills. Between the ending of snowflakes and this one I have a feeling we are going to get a lot more of this side of Tom. Tom is getting super scary and people still sleepin on him got a rude awakening coming.

RIP to your beautiful mother, my man. I also suddenly & unexpectedly lost my mom in 2015 and it has taken me several years to pull myself outta that deep debilitating grief...mad Love to all the moms (single or not) who did all they could to raise beautiful people!

I said this way back in the No Response (actually it was the Best Rapper Ever reaction, edit) Vid, but this is now The Best Reaction Ever 🤘🔥

Naw dude you're not wrong. I've seen reactions where dude trashed him for 4 minutes and his biggest complaint is saying that Tom outright says racist stuff. I've listened to nearly every song, I got 4 of the albums. Haven't heard it yet.

Glad I caught this reaction live. One of my favorite reactors

When i heard the song for the first time, you were the reactor i wanted to see react to it more than anyone else. From some of the discussions on streams and past videos, i felt like you were the one who was gonna be able to relate to this song the most.

MY GAWD! Bars! From the soul! Even at the end you could hear his voice being taxed! And he still killed it! I cannot wait to go to a concert of his!!!!!!! HOG ARMY!!!!!

Yo Flawd, I'm so glad you are where you are. The way you break down songs and talk about not only lyrics but technicalities of rapping from the POV of a rapper and also your own experiences. Glad that you're on the right path and making your life better, you deserve it brother!

Flawdzilla as always gives us amazing content where he doesnt just react to Tom's songs he listens and understands them and further explains them amazingly

"They build worlds and then pull you into it." That's facts! Every video is an experience for sure!

My momma passed in 2013. It's a gut-wrenching business. My condolences. Song is fire fire fire! Tom went mental on this track.

#hangovergang for life 🔥🔥🔥

Hey Flawd...sorry for the loss of your Moms. As a Mom myself, I can say she’d be so proud of you. RIP to her....❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️

Flawd gets to keep his chainz.

Yours are legit my favorite reactions to stuff like this cause it's clear you're a student of the genre. Not just "Oh man that's fire" but true analysis of what he's saying and what he's doing. Love it man.

What I love about Tom is his ability to start a conversation with his music. I'm guilty of suggesting to him over that "Ford" post that he should just take a pay day. Then I was reminded of the Brittany Spears statement in court regarding her contractual obligations that has ruined personal agency. Or her ability to run her own life. How many stars have suicided because of their contractual leash. I mean, Chester Bennington? Just asking. How many want out and are done but will never be. I hear you now, Tom.

FlawdSkwad in the House.👍😊🤘

Your honesty makes my heart smile Everytime you state your stance💓😁

can't say how much i was anticipating yur reaction bro, and i dont even care about the wait, it was worth it. Tom isn't the only one that impresses every time, your formula for reactions keeps getting better and better. love all the new onscreen graphics and how professional lookin you are in just a few months time. the road to 100k subs is paved brotha! glad to have been on this journey since you started it.

Appreciate ur honesty, Years ago I was homeless and in rehab, it gave me an insight that I wouldn’t trade for all the money in the world, hoping u all the success u deserve 👍

I've been checking your channel ever since Tom dropped this! No worries for the delay - as you said, life just happens. I always enjoy your reaction vids.

Wow, Tom is so amazing and this track is fire. I personally like that you leave it a few days to react. You and Knox don't jump straight in (respect) like 99% of reactors who react the second it drops. Quality is worth waiting for and this reaction was quality. Keep climbing !

Flawd! I swear, you have such a great way of breaking down what's actually happening in these songs. I'd like to think I got it aaalll figured out on my own, but no, you always prove me wrong. I inevitably get something more out of the music with your perspective added on to it, so, thank you, good sir. Your work is invaluable. :)

He saved my life with Angel's. You have to do Angel's bro...

Sorry for your loss my brother, just know that we are all here for you. We got your back through thick and thin! 👊🤟🤘

You are an incredibly underrated youtuber. Can’t wait to see you blow up. Thank you for quality content!

Hey brother, I didn't know about your Mom. Mine, is a two-time breast-cancer survivor 🎗️. I thank God every day that I'm still blessed that He hasn't taken her yet. 🙏 Great reaction as always; you're on your way Bruv. 🤗 #HOG&FlawdFam4Life

Only the real ones here for the premiere!!

Let’s go… this one is going to leave you speechless brother.

Bro, I’ve been with you before you had 1000 subscribers. Love your content, and I’m happy for your success. You deserve it. Thanks for being real unlike a lot of these peeps on here.

It means two things 1. Don’t look back and keep going forward 2. Don’t look down on others

Flawd man, got the feels going during the message about your mom. I lost my father, it so hard losing those role models in our life. Best to you man. You’re growing a family here keep the channel going!

This is probably the best reaction to this video 🔥, keep killing the reaction game homie! 100k gunna be here before you know it 💯👊.

My condolences to you Flawdzilla 😔

The moment I find out that Tom is dropping something new I start checking my notifications for your reaction. Dope reactions bro.... heading towards 🐐 status!

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, TOMS DAY, Saturday!! 🔥♥️

Great reaction- I think what a lot of people don’t truly understand about Tom is his sincerity and loyalty to his fans. The Hangover Gang family has been successfully created with a PERSONAL connection to Tom, Brandon, and Nova. This song flexes to his haters, we HOG know “fam comes first.” He gives an insight into his life, his struggles, his music, and his successes. He shares them ALL. And, in turn, he has become the uncancellable Tom Macdonald. He’s a real person we all identify with and have that loyalty with. We will share the shit out of Tom and Nova and Brandon for that reason. It’s why I wear my hangover gang merch. Cuz it is a family. May much success come to your channel, my friend, I originally subscribed to watch your Tom reactions. Don’t look Down🤷‍♀️💙🛩🔥especially on Fridays😳

I wouldnt care if i had to wait a year for this reaction, ive watched all of your reactions to toms music, and I love the content. Keep it up bro! :)

My man went from a full on T Mac hater to a full blown member of the H.O.G. much love to you bro. Keep the legit real reactions coming.

So sorry about your mom~ I’m sure she’s watching your success now and is so very proud! ♥️

Dude. Speechless. I can feel it. That is divine friggin sovereignty mainlined from Source. A lesson for us all. I appreciate your take as always. Damn!

I am speechless after viewing your reaction video. What can I say? You have to be overall one of the best, if not literally the best, overall "Don't Look Down" video reactors I have come across. I felt as if I was at rap grad school listening to a top PH.D rap professor dissect with dumbfounding detail and precision a rap video. Your knowledge, analysis, insight, commentary, teaching are of the highest order. Then you combine that with your creative technical video gimmicks, plus your humility, realness, transparency, honesty (what you shared about being homeless not too long ago and about your mom and your relationship with her was touching, appreciated, relatable, and priceless) and you simply, undeniably have created one of the best overall, if not the best overall, "Don't Look Down" reaction videos I have come across thus far (and there have been many, believe me). Had to like and to subscribe just out of sheer amazement and appreciation. The quality, creativity, realness, and depth level of your reaction video was on a level worthy of and compatible with that of this "Don't Look Down" video. Only want to suggest that you omit profanity, use of Nig___ word, and any use of the name of the Lord in vain, to make your videos religion-friendly and family-friendly and to maximize your future audience reach, which easily should be in the hundreds of thousands, even millions. Infinite love & blessings

“Maybe they want, maybe I have low expectations for society because of the way they act” I laughed so hard at that dude - subbed

FINALLY!!! This is the reaction I've been waiting for. Top notch as always. I'm sure your Mom is super proud of you.

Tom & Nova left everything in the clouds with this one... #HangOverGang!

love it man. ❤️ from 🇵🇭

Keep grinding bro. U def a top reactor. I love how you break down lyrics, since you a artist yourself, you actually know what's going on, and what goes into it.

RIP to your lovely mum, she sounds awesome! My mum has tackled Breast Cancer twice and my some miracle she’s still with us, and I thank god every day for it! She is a rap loving grandma too - 75 years old, I caught her doing the housework yesterday blasting music on her Alexa - she was shouting, ‘Alexa play Eminem’ . Pmsl!

Well worth the wait!! love the fighter pilot edit :)

Of all of Tom's reactions on RU-vid, yours is the one I look forward to the most. You are smart, funny and entertaining. Your insights and comments really help me understand and appreciate his music and the meaning. I came by your channel via Tom, but I have hung around and watched your other reactions as well. Great stuff man, keep it coming. Quality wise, I feel you are one of the top 10 reactors on RU-vid. And personally, I think, you are #1 in the Hip Hop / Rap genres.

R.i p to your mom ♡ I bet she is so proud of you and your success with everything.

The sped up “he’s a white guy he’s racist” commentary was hilarious 😂 love your reactions❤

Been scrolling through, reluctantly watching other reactions to this song, just waitin' on yours, Flawd! LOVE your reactions, bro! So much insight, so much honesty. QUALITY is the one word I would use to describe your reactions.

Absolutely amazing edits and reaction🔥🔥🔥

There's a HUGE difference between "making music", and "making music with a message", which is all tom does. Music with a real message.

You are also not just another "RU-vid Reactor" Your on another level With your reactions and Breakdowns !!!

I'm pretty sure when he said "I'm not a great rapper" he's just saying that's what they say about him. He's clearly great and he knows it.

Thank you Flawd for the insight into your personal life experiences. I too was curious about your tattoos, and I could be reaching, but it seemed like you might have started to get a little emotional explaining all that about your mother and everything. Just wanted to let you know I personally appreciated the quick background dive. Much love bro.

FINALLY!!! I’ve been waiting all WEEK for your reaction, FLAWD!! You are my No. 1, man!! Let’s go, HOG Fam!!!

Bro, hearing about your mom and how much she meant to you (and clearly you meant everything to her too) I felt that. Keep doing what you’re doing man. The best way you can honor her memory is to keep on this path. Already you’ve done incredible work fighting through addiction and homelessness, but your journey is far from over. Keep going bro.

u r so unique and i love the way u stop and repeat the lyrics! it helps me understand what he's saying! usually i dont care for all the interruptions but i really like the way u put ur heart and soul into ur reactions of tom! ty for all ur hard work!

Been checking in everyday for you!!!! Thanks for the energy brother.

Gotta say, the thing that separates this channel from the other reactors, is that it's not just reaction, it's insight, and analyzation ... and i kinda love that

Missed you Flawd! This song is so deep and straight 🔥! When you've experienced the lowest of lows, you NEVER look back, you can only keep rising! Tom is a true testament to this. When you want it so bad it hurts, emotionally and physically, your work ethic becomes unmatchable, and what you write is literally the struggles you've been through, and the ladder 🪜keeps going higher and higher you never stop climbing because you JUST. CAN'T. STOP. It becomes IMPOSSIBLE for you to do so. Bleeding on the page in this one, peeling and scaling back everything so you see it in its rarest, and rawest form. Absolutely the best 👌 yet! Not ever, just for right now 😊👍😉🔥

He has it all... amazing talent.

Been jonesing. Good to see ya

"i can't even see you because I don't look down" love that line cause I always say when people try to bring you down it means you're above them.

Tech9!!!!! Yes Zilla!!! You have now won my heart!!! This reaction just sent me over the edge!! Thank you for this reaction. Thank you for opening up and sharing part of your story. 🥰 You are a true reactor!!! Be blessed!!
