Sounds like it was intentional. The grit in the voice given what he started to talk about in the song made sense to provide that extra anger and rasp and it stays consistent during those two verses.
I’m a 40 year old stay at home mom in the middle of the US and was pretty much just a country fan and then discovered Tom and Upchurch and realized I care more about authenticity than the genre
“I’m Sorry”, “This House”, and “No Response” are all just like this one. Nothing but bars. No hooks. You should check them out if you check out anymore of his music
That's why it was cool to see the Brandon Tatum interview. Seems like the guy is busy so there isn't many interviews. If someone's interviewing more than they're writing, their interviews become better than their actual songs.
I know this is really late, but my favorite interview is the one he did with Dopey. So raw and honest about everything. He has a new one up today with Blair White. It's really good. She just let him talk and didn't interrupt with mindless questions the way so many interviewers do. I've watched his videos, his livestreams, and his interviews and he really is like five different people. He's so convincing that when I watch No Response or Best Rapper Ever, I have to remind myself that both guys rapping are the same person. And neither one of them look anything like Tom from livestreams or from I Don't Care. My favorite livestream will always be the one he did with Nova to promote his Memorial Day merch sale this year. They made me laugh and smile so hard.
At the end when he yells, "I am a superstar" That's a reference to a post he made on Instagram back in 2016. It's the first picture of Tom and Nova when they first got together. And he wrote in the caption, "one day we'll be superstars"
Thank You for giving our Guy a chance.. This is like his earlier work.. "THIS HOUSE" and "NO RESPONSE" hey even "I'm SORRY" HOG forever and a day.. His fans are set in stone.. .. I've watched this reaction a million time.. it's my favorite!
Well, well, well, well, well, well.. did I just witness Stevie Knight enjoy a Tom MacDonald track? 😆 good shit, now react to No Response. Another 6 minutes of straight bars 🔥
I never thought I would see the day that Stevie Knight would say one of Tom MacDonald's songs was "Dope"!! I ❤ it..glad you found one you liked! 😁❤✌ #hog4life #novarockafeller
I only clicked because I love Tom Macdonald's music and enjoy watching the reactions. We all have different tastes, opinions, etc. I subscribed to your channel because even though you are honest about not liking some of Tom's music, you obviously still listen with an open mind and gave him props when you felt props were due. I respect that. On a side note, the HOG family loves Tom and Nova so much (besides just the music) because they are honestly so grateful for their fans. I saw over the weekend Tom had been face timing some of his fans. I couldn't imagine most of these artists stopping to take the time to do nothing more than make some of his fans' day. I have personally never seen another artist continually show their fans how genuinely appreciative they are of the continued support like Tom MacDonald and Nova show their fans.
This song is the same sound over and over and over… It’s ok to like basic music… but don’t try to sell it as something more… this done is terrible objectively… but can be enjoyed subjectively
" THIS IS PURE FIRE, THIS AINT WHITE PRIVILEGE ". I'm Mexican American, But he and Nova are the $h!t. BRO, Tom is a Master artist with his writing abilities, his messages, rapping abilities, Flow changes and acting delivery of his messages. Nova is a Artist herself for her role in the mastering and Directing the videos. I'm so shocked that they are still independent and haven't caved in to signing with a Major Label. They have to be kissing their toenails at this point offering Millions to sign. Much Respect. And great Video brotha. Look forward to see more. Not sure if you have done a reaction, to Canceled and Sorry but I would definitely watch that 1 a hundred times. Thank you Sir.
Tom can really write when he wants to..I fuck with some of his stuff ..but I love his grind and that he won't sign to a label..support him just because he won't support the elites and let them own him 💪
5 minutes in you see a real man in action. Stevie got his own opinion, and will criticize what he feels.. Tom mentions haters.. Stevie knows that mail wasn't addressed to him, because saying some aspect doesnt sit right with you doesn't mean you outright hate on that person. He's not chasing Tom's songs to drop shade, we are requesting his opinion, and while Stevie isn't really feeling the Hooks, and wilder rock influenced hook/chorus melody, he's gonna point out fire bars and can appreciate someone else's views, and still fits a react video in on a busy schedule. Real all the way through
Your right, Tom isn't talking about the honest reactors Tom can take critic's but what he is talking about is the reactors and rappers just trashing him for views and some for clout. It didn't seem like Stevie K. was too into reacting to Tom's video but he did it and was fair I can respect that, I like real people, I can think of 2 rapper/reactors that are fake AF I guess they're kinda well known but both are way beneath Tom in Fan Base /Subscribers and views trying to tell tom how to improve his music that to me is just stupid funny. Those kind of people I avoid like the plague. LOL
There's a huge difference between clout chasing for views (and doing so while hating on a person) and giving an honest critique of somebody's work. There's a reactor (I don't know how name) who does a "Leftist reacts to Tom Macdonald". He consistently shits on the music and message before he even hits play; that's the garbage Tom is referring to.
yeah its like i like bluegrass but i just don't like country music but i'm not gunna say someone like willy nelson or dolly parton or conway twitty are bad musicians they all amazing musicians i just don't like that style of music.
This reaction never gets old . Best reaction I have seen from anyone on any of his songs....Its tough to listen to a style you dont like and get the most out of it...
19 Minutes + of pure enjoyment. I wasn't expecting this but I'm glad I clicked on this so fast. You definitely need to check out No Response, All Bars, No hooks.
@@Sethrickable we don't agree with your views but we approve of your honesty -Royce Da 5'9 Lol Tom isn't for everyone but it's ok, neither is Lethal. We can still be friends 😂
"My fear is suicide not bank accounts." Anybody who's been down mentally, physically spiritually, every fucking way just as a person... then barely got back up trying to maintain and pull it together and go hard, yeah... money is the least of your problems.
@@luxarmiger2205 It isn't contradictory. Multiple things can be true at the same time. You can be too rich to do a drive-by while also your biggest fear being self-deletion. How is that a contradiction? This is a rap track, remember, almost everything is a bar or metaphor.
@Simon Eriksson Though at the same times he has songs addressing that. Such as Church. You can find contradictions of that sort in most bands/groups/artists. But I get what you are saying.
Unfortunately we have seen some very wealthy and very loved people take their own lives in the recent past. Depression is much like alcoholism where the demon is always hiding somewhere and every once in a while you have to kick its ass and put it back in its hiding place. Everyone stay strong out there.
Wow... Thankyou Tom. I'm 62 years old and I'm blown away by your creative abilities and thanks for saying what we are all thinking but have no platform! Stay the course Mr. McDonald, God bless America!
@@andreassvensson5225 you're right bro.. never heard more true words.. but you can't deny Tom got them powerful messages in his shit. Don't get me wrong upchurch does too for sure but upchurch be spittin them bars for days. No end to it. But he is the 1 for all genre's. He's number 1! I I have so much in common with upchurch it's unreal I just don't have the mindset that dude does. He is a lyrical genius! They are both pure ruthless and rebel's! That's what it's all about. Rebellion. Like FUCK THE SYSTEM AND THE GOD DAMN LABELS! "CHURCH !!"
It is so visual that I don’t see it being a very big hit record. I’m a huge fan of TMac. I’m just saying that incredible passion is dependent on the video in my opinion. Plus it has no hook, no separate verses in the true sense of a song. This is like something I think he might have written in the same way that he does spoken word and he morphed into a single. I love the video but it’s not catchy enough to be a hit. After just listening to it 3 times and I’m kinda tired of it. It doesn’t make me want to rap along to it. Just my personal opinion.
Finally, a song by Tom you like. I didn't think I'd ever see the day. If it's all bars, no hooks you like, then No Response, This House, I'm Sorry, and Boom Bap 101 might also get your approval.
Yo Stevie, much respect for being honest about Tom's hooks. It can't be for everyone and Tom's fans are loyal AF (being one). This song was fire tho. Much respect to you. Keep pushing.
Man it's nice to see Stevie genuinely enjoying a Tom track lol... He was smilin' almost as hard as this track is. No Response is also fire as shit. It used to be my favorite Tom track until today lol. This shit is his best song....
@@mifnp8887 I think that is what makes this one special right... Yeah we know Stevie dont fuck wit Tom... But WE GOT HIM on this one.... He truly liked what he heard... you cant hide that.
Not everyone can like everything someone does. I personally don't like a few of his songs. And I'm def a fan of Tom. But there's no denying him and Nova together are artistic geniuses. #Hog showing up.
I used to be a big fan of Tom's but recently it's only here and there that I really like the songs he's droppin. Not hating at all. I really enjoyed this one, but my only issue is that punchlines hit harder when they are based in truth. Like the whole Friday thing? "Friday is my day" ... Okay, but who doesn't drop on fridays? lol its literally the most common day of the week to drop. And this beat was completely ripping off Nfs production style.. Sorry lol
"I'm sorry", "No response" and "This house" they are all songs with no hooks that fit right with your taste. One suggestion I haven't seen anyone talking "Boom Bap 101". That is real fire. Tom showing his amazing skill.
"No Responses 6 minutes of nothing but bars you'll like that and his response to white boy , " This House" Is bars in real emotion pouring out of him check them out you like them I'm sure. Oh yeah and " I don't care" is a really good one lot of emotion great bars
@Jim O'Donnell Wether he does or not I respect it. He's said it many times he doesn't F with Tom like that until this track. So I don't understand where the fraud part comes into place? If he does react to it then good, if he doesn't that doesn't change the fact that there's so many great reactors to the song No Response.
Am I living in an alternate universe? Stevie said “that was a bar and a half” and that was fire AF about a Tom MacDonald song? Like they all saying, No Response, This House, I’m sorry. No Response has always been my favorite. 7 1/2 minutes of dope a$$ bars.
Honestly I held off on your reaction because I know your stance with Tom's music and I did want to hear it but I'm glad I checked your reaction out. Youre one of the realest reactors speakin' your truth, you caught all the punches and bars for sure. Honest and spot on reaction.
"I'm sorry", "No response" and "This house" and boom bap 101 also his song murder business gets overlooked!! also his song house in the hills. these are all underrated songs from TOM
I still cant stand his whiny voice, no matter what bars or cadence he has.....THAT VOICE.... eeewwww. Only reason i watched was to see stevies reaction lol
You authentic Stevie. No clout chasing, you like what you like and no BS. I like that you liked this song. Real recognize real like you said. Keep it up G
Stevie what a great reaction, Tom's been blowing up the way we view rap and the world we live in these days. Your breakdown on this song is definitely one of the best I've viewed so far. This song is pure fire but this reaction is the flamethrower building those flames even higher. #HOGarmy
Ay Stevie, thanks for reacting to more Tom, I appreciate that you don't let your preference keep you from listening to artists. Especially when it comes to Tom's music
I'm a big fan of lyricists... Hop, Snow, NF, Tech - and recently, Tom has managed to creep his way onto my playlist. Love that you spoke your piece about why you've been hesitant to react to his tracks, but still gave the time to hear him out on this one!🤘
That's the thing about Tom that many don't get, the HOG fam is so dedicated to Tom because he is so truthful and dedicated to us. Real does recognize real and Tom is as real and raw as they come, that's why the HOG is rock solid and growing every day. I'll sub to reactors who are gonna be fair and not be hatin just for views cuz that's weak. Those are the ones who are either deaf, plain haters, or wouldn't know talent if it jumped up and did a spin kick to their dome...just saying. I'm subbed now and looking forward to the next reaction ✌ #HOG4EVER ❤🤘
@@Sethrickable what's the point then? Are you saying Tom is running around telling people Em's his best friend? When did he say he even knows Em? I'm pretty sure he made it clear in the song itself that he doesn't. Producers sell beats to people they don't know all the time, bro. Okay, maybe he missed the point, sure, okay. And maybe I'm missing the point too, whatever. But bro, you're missing reality if you think him not knowing Em makes a damn difference.
Bro honestly as much as you critic tom most the h.o.g fam need to reliese we need reactors like you saying shit not to be an asshole but to be like hey this my opinion on what I like in music full respect on your content and the way you talk YOUR truth
I couldn't agree more. We are all entitled to our own opinions and perspectives and ideas which should absolutely be respected especially when it's done in such a professional and respectful manner. Thanks so much ❤
This House is still my fav track, but this song had a whole different kind of energy. Reminds me of Shit Eminem did in the Slim Shady days as "therapy."
I appreciate the honesty & The fact you give him the credit him and his girl & best friend deserve. It’s humbling to see that people can still appreciate others talents and love for music whichever kind we like. God bless you.
This reaction was refreshing. I'm a huge Tom fan & i watch a lot of reaction channels. It's painfully obvious when reactors got a taste of HOG views & likes, then instantly started over-loving everything single bar of every song. I've seen a couple of your reactions to Tom & you've always been honest. it was clear how this one hyped you up organically. Loved it!
This reaction i'm pretty sure is what made me sub to your channel.. Because like you said Real Recognizes Real... And you caught a couple of the jokish kinda more fun or super political tracks from him at the start and you didn't like him and you were straight up about it.. You weren't even gonna keep reacting to him.. But you got harped on enough to keep watching the video's because people kept on you.. And now you're finding videos and songs that you like and you're being fucking real about it.. I know this is an old video but just figured I'd throw this out there.. Most people if they started out not liking someone would refuse to like anything they did just to keep that initial point.. But you didn't.. you are humble enough to be like you know what I didn't like that other shit ... but fuck this is fire man... Good shit man.. That's why I still watch your channel..
If there was ever a song to recommend from Tom, it would be "This House." I feel like this song was "This house 2.0" and the first one was the best track he's ever dropped. Hope you check it out and show us your reaction!
Everybody commenting on this saying you need to react to 'this house' are 100% correct..... tom snapped on that song after all the hate he.copped from whiteboy
Never listened to rap my whole life. Started listening to this guy, because is message is real. I hate mainstream music, and what it does to music in general. All music should be independent. This was a great reaction video
This guy without a hook and just raw emotion is insanely good. This is where he should be at. He can still do all the other stuff but more bangers like this is needed.
I clicked on this the second the notification popped up, never thought I'd see you bobbing to Tom much less throughout the entire 7 minute song! Really though I do feel the same way you feel about Tom, but i appreciate so much that you are not afraid to share your real opinions and recognize a good song when you hear it! Thanks Stevie!
This Tom MacDonald is the REAL THING he speaks the true facts in everything he does he is a down to earth guy and humble has can be he knows where he came from and he knows where he and Nova, Brandon are going they do everything themselves totally 💯 he is a GENIUS that song 🔥🔥🔥and nobody owns them 🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻❤️✊🤩🍿
Especially the Mac Lethal battle. Piss of Tom, see the fake right, and get your shit rocked by the uppercut cause you’re too blind to see the whole picture. He just rocks these bitches.
I like your respect for his music. His last couple songs was a message for us about how we should come together as human beings and stop listening to the media which separates us all. And how famous roll models are those who dress provacative for the young girls as idols rather then us humans or young children looking up to successful business women and men with careers who dress appropriate and should be the roll models of today, those who make a difference. Also he did climb to the top by himself. He succeeded to be where he's at. If we didn't listen to the media and the government we still wouldn't have this war with color. We'd be united as one and the war between us would end.
The fact he almost cancelled this awesome track because his girlfriend who shoots his videos had a major asthma attack. Nova is a beast .true power couple!!
@Peter Griffin It was serious enough that I think she had to go to the hospital or something, or almost did. Not all people's asthma is mild; for some it's really serious.
Bro I listened to this earlier and was like ok Tom!! This was 🔥. Best I’d heard from his new stuff. Always felt the way you have with Tom. Followed him and supported out of respect for what he was doing and what he stood for. But didn’t feel his music too much. Anyway one of his fans told me two tracks to listen to like a month ago and I enjoyed them as well. I reckon you could too. This house I wish That’s the tracks in case you thinking to try a few others.
IDK if you wanna go back a few decades in time, but my favorite Tom song is actually Boom Bap 101 and it is probably his most amazing song lyrically and cadence-wise (in my opinion)
Bruh... that beat is fucking filthy. Stevie asked. "bruh, who is he talking to?" He is talking to all of us. Everyone who used to hate or continue to hate on his music because of the subject matter content.
I would like to see him react to some more Tom songs. Like “This House” or “Cancelled” or “No Response” even “I’m Sorry”! Edit: these are mostly songs without hooks and they are really good!
TM is top 1000 ever… it is great that you like him… but listen to hip hop before throwing around best ever… he’s a bad rapper and great marketer… I love his success… I hate his music
@@sidneyleake I have probably listened to more hip hop then you considering I am almost 50 But whatever makes you happy. He’s the best obviously your not watching his numbers or listening closely. Opinions are like buttholes everyone has one.
@@sidneyleake Tom, Upchurch and Adam Calhoun are the only rappers ever listen too, well since we lost Tupac and even back then Tupac was the only one I listened too even back then.
@@stockc6zo626 i agree almost 50 as well grew up on college radio playing rap in WMass and getting the casette tap ready and when i visited my cousins on LI it was time for Red Alert
I think the world needs to realize music is subjective, like any art, not everyone will like what you do, everyone’s taste is music, art, movies etc is different and THAT IS OK! Having different opinions is what keeps us and life interesting.
@@relativelybasic and you are very much entitled to that opinion. One mans trash young one is another mans treasure. Let go of the need to constantly hate you’ll feel better, I promise.
The concept of his head weighing a million pounds and still never looking down makes me think of the tale of Atlas, who carried the world on his shoulders. Very cool.

The fact he lost his voice 3/4 of the way through and still pushed through to finish in 1 take shows his emotion and passion
how you don’t have 10k likes on your comment is bamboozling.
The song 100% sounds better because he did get horse.
not sure if he planned it but, he could be doing it as if he's going up and he's losing his more and more oxygen as he goes up
Sounds like it was intentional. The grit in the voice given what he started to talk about in the song made sense to provide that extra anger and rasp and it stays consistent during those two verses.
100% agree man. I do hear it. Good catch.
Tom brings people to rap who have never given it a glance. That is a skill all on its own
Yep. I'm one of those!❤️✌️
Eminem did that 25 years ago lol
Yep, most rap is bad poetry to a good beat.

Only thing is with this house he needs to listen go whiteboy to know why he made that song
Right on the money

Tom should be invited to more interviews....everybody thinks he's just an angry guy when he's alot more than that.
That's why it was cool to see the Brandon Tatum interview. Seems like the guy is busy so there isn't many interviews. If someone's interviewing more than they're writing, their interviews become better than their actual songs.

"My fear is suicide not bank accounts." Anybody who's been down mentally, physically spiritually, every fucking way just as a person... then barely got back up trying to maintain and pull it together and go hard, yeah... money is the least of your problems.
"Too rich for a drive-by, pay the pilot on my private jet to keep it low and do a fly-by" Very contradictory tho. *thinking to myself
@@luxarmiger2205 It isn't contradictory. Multiple things can be true at the same time. You can be too rich to do a drive-by while also your biggest fear being self-deletion. How is that a contradiction? This is a rap track, remember, almost everything is a bar or metaphor.
@Simon Eriksson Though at the same times he has songs addressing that. Such as Church. You can find contradictions of that sort in most bands/groups/artists. But I get what you are saying.
Unfortunately we have seen some very wealthy and very loved people take their own lives in the recent past. Depression is much like alcoholism where the demon is always hiding somewhere and every once in a while you have to kick its ass and put it back in its hiding place. Everyone stay strong out there.
@Simon Eriksson he only attacked when provoked. Fair game.
Wow... Thankyou Tom.
I'm 62 years old and I'm blown away by your creative abilities and thanks for saying what we are all thinking but have no platform! Stay the course Mr. McDonald, God bless America!
“TALK YO SHIT” him and Upchurch are killing he independent shit
Yup 🙌🏻💯
Hell yeah they are!! They are 2 of my favorites out now.. idk which one I like better tho
@@tylerdavis9957 upchurch. cause his rep, if you feel like rock he got you. feel like rap, he got you. want some country he got you.
Imagine if they came together 🤯🤯🤯 I hope they do.
@@andreassvensson5225 you're right bro.. never heard more true words.. but you can't deny Tom got them powerful messages in his shit. Don't get me wrong upchurch does too for sure but upchurch be spittin them bars for days. No end to it. But he is the 1 for all genre's. He's number 1! I I have so much in common with upchurch it's unreal I just don't have the mindset that dude does. He is a lyrical genius! They are both pure ruthless and rebel's! That's what it's all about. Rebellion.
Like FUCK THE SYSTEM AND THE GOD DAMN LABELS! "CHURCH !!"
This House, I'm Sorry, and No Response all got a similar vibe and no chorus.
don't forget HOUR GLASS ..the end-half >> th-cam.com/video/H9Kc-Ln8F0U/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TomMacDonald
It is so visual that I don’t see it being a very big hit record. I’m a huge fan of TMac. I’m just saying that incredible passion is dependent on the video in my opinion. Plus it has no hook, no separate verses in the true sense of a song. This is like something I think he might have written in the same way that he does spoken word and he morphed into a single. I love the video but it’s not catchy enough to be a hit. After just listening to it 3 times and I’m kinda tired of it. It doesn’t make me want to rap along to it. Just my personal opinion.
@@davidball6357 this is a song that was written by the angels / demons hahaha ..yer 'left prain' cant translete
@@davidball6357 so you’re basically a basic rap fan, you need to dig deeper
@@davidball6357 disagree on the passion being dependent on the video. You can hear the passion in his voice.
You know the songs fire if Stevie likes it. Everyone knows he isn’t a Tom fan.
This House ,No Response and I'm Sorry are hard like this. Tom spazzes when the black contacts come out; he's not a joke fr!!!
And I Hate Hip-Hop...
@@drizzledaddygaming994 ok?
@@drizzledaddygaming994 Stevie would def not like that one 😆
Tom is so much more than just a rapper , he is the true definition of a artist. Oh Nova too .
It’s going to take Knox Hill 6 hours to break this song down.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Knox ran a collegiate level semester course on this song worth 3 credits
😂😂😂
Finally, a song by Tom you like. I didn't think I'd ever see the day. If it's all bars, no hooks you like, then No Response, This House, I'm Sorry, and Boom Bap 101 might also get your approval.
Agreed!!! Boom Bap 101 would be a GREAT song for Stevie!! 💯
Tom's best song is Dear Slim
It’s a pity like. Why do you think it took so long
Yes, please
The way I am (Eminem remix), you’d like that as well.
No Response is straight BARS. This House & I’m Sorry are bar heavy too. Don’t Look Down is one of his best along with No Response.
I'm sorry is a beast
i agree with you totally
No Response, I’m Sorry, This House, Max Lethal Sucks, and Sellout all go super fuckin hard
This house is the shit for real
Toms songs "This House" "Sorry" and "No Response" are all like this one #HOG4EVER
Also Lethal Injection!
This house!
What is HOG?
@@Breeze-kw7ry Hang Over Gang we are Toms fan base
@@redkat7406 Thx
Yo Stevie, much respect for being honest about Tom's hooks. It can't be for everyone and Tom's fans are loyal AF (being one). This song was fire tho. Much respect to you. Keep pushing.
Agreed I love Tom But some of his hooks can be corny but I love the message so much they don’t bother me
Holy shit! Never listened to him before. Good lyrics
Man it's nice to see Stevie genuinely enjoying a Tom track lol... He was smilin' almost as hard as this track is. No Response is also fire as shit. It used to be my favorite Tom track until today lol. This shit is his best song....
@@allxallthetime Same
Knight's review rings hollow because he's dissed Macdonald 99% of the time.
@@mifnp8887 yet you're here whining about it?
@@mifnp8887 I think that is what makes this one special right... Yeah we know Stevie dont fuck wit Tom... But WE GOT HIM on this one.... He truly liked what he heard... you cant hide that.
@@ronly_driver No whining, just commenting.
No Response, This House, I'm Sorry, Boom Bap 101.. straight fire no hooks
Yes I promise Stevie would love that song even more then this one
Facts! Definitely worth reacting to 💪🏼
The Way I Am remix
These are my go to songs for folks who dont like his hooks. If they dont those then they are haters.
Sober
Tom MAC gets down with his presence. This man has been performing fatalities on music since ‘White Boy’
I cant imagine the talent and intelligence it actually takes to create this actual song !! 💕✝️🇺🇸
Tom is the GOAT no doubt
Not everyone can like everything someone does.
I personally don't like a few of his songs. And I'm def a fan of Tom.
But there's no denying him and Nova together are artistic geniuses.
#Hog showing up.
Love em all!! Hog
I used to be a big fan of Tom's but recently it's only here and there that I really like the songs he's droppin. Not hating at all.
I really enjoyed this one, but my only issue is that punchlines hit harder when they are based in truth. Like the whole Friday thing? "Friday is my day" ...
Okay, but who doesn't drop on fridays? lol its literally the most common day of the week to drop.
And this beat was completely ripping off Nfs production style..
Sorry lol
"No Response" is a killer ... So is "I'm Sorry" .... No hooks, straight bars.
Yep. Those left me mind blown.🤯 crazy good!
This house!!!!! Lol
No Response IS a response…complete contradiction
@@surreal_reality3696 is that all you got?
@@freetheehumans Nothing more needs to be said…Tom says he’s not going to respond yet the whole song is a response 🤣
"I'm sorry", "No response" and "This house" they are all songs with no hooks that fit right with your taste. One suggestion I haven't seen anyone talking "Boom Bap 101". That is real fire. Tom showing his amazing skill.
yea those are one of my fav
That my fav
THIS HOUSE is 🔥🔥🔥
This House is my Favorite
Add Hangman in that list. It goes hard as well. Ashes it hard as well. It has a hook but flows with the metal sound.
His No Response track is fire too. Also no hook. You'll like it.
yea that track is fire, RAP RAP
@@RedLionGenetics rap rap and tom dont exist in the same universe much less the same song.
@drpoolshooter This House & I’m Sorry are also fire 🔥
"No Responses 6 minutes of nothing but bars you'll like that and his response to white boy , " This House" Is bars in real emotion pouring out of him check them out you like them I'm sure.
Oh yeah and " I don't care" is a really good one lot of emotion great bars
@@Odyssey636 Have you listened to No Response? I hate some of Tom Macdonalds stuff but that one is pretty damn good.
How am I just finding this guy now?? Hell yes for the TM reaction!!! ❤️
I’ve watched a ton of reactions now and yours is still hands down best metaphor analysis and poetic appreciation.
Whoa, wasn't expecting this. Okay, I'm all ears! When you gonna react to NO RESPONSE! Love the channel bro
@Jim O'Donnell Wether he does or not I respect it. He's said it many times he doesn't F with Tom like that until this track. So I don't understand where the fraud part comes into place? If he does react to it then good, if he doesn't that doesn't change the fact that there's so many great reactors to the song No Response.
The fact you said this was dope af...
That shit is legendary in itself. #HoG4Life
I think you’d appreciate “I’m Sorry” and “No Response”. No hooks, no filler, all bars.
And "THIS HOUSE"
Yes to these
Yes
Am I living in an alternate universe? Stevie said “that was a bar and a half” and that was fire AF about a Tom MacDonald song? Like they all saying, No Response, This House, I’m sorry. No Response has always been my favorite. 7 1/2 minutes of dope a$$ bars.
"No Response" is straight fire out' the gate and the flames don't subside until another two weeks later...
Okay mom you should stop listening to rap now
@@SeriusChevy no, I don’t think will. But thanks for taking time out of your day to make such a thoughtful suggestion.
@@elvenmajick Aww you're sweet and just so damn adorable huh, lol I was just teasing you anyway. I love Tom too ❤ 🤘
No Response is my favorite too. It's exactly what I want in a rap track. :)
Honestly I held off on your reaction because I know your stance with Tom's music and I did want to hear it but I'm glad I checked your reaction out. Youre one of the realest reactors speakin' your truth, you caught all the punches and bars for sure. Honest and spot on reaction.
That was one of the best rap songs I have heard in a longggg time! Love me some Tom MacDonald!!!
"I'm sorry", "No response" and "This house" and boom bap 101 also his song murder business gets overlooked!! also his song house in the hills. these are all underrated songs from TOM
Every one of these is fire!
The way I am (Eminem remix)
Boom bap is the one I could see Stevie actually liking. Toms best pure classic rap tune.
Stevie still kicking and screaming down this rabbit hole...lol
Someday I'm gonna subscribe to him....when he stops kicking and screaming. Had to stop by on this one cause I heard he wasn't mad.
That's funny. I think he gets it now
I still cant stand his whiny voice, no matter what bars or cadence he has.....THAT VOICE.... eeewwww. Only reason i watched was to see stevies reaction lol
@@markwaghorn1977 Lulz
Haha...haters are obsessed fans...
You authentic Stevie. No clout chasing, you like what you like and no BS. I like that you liked this song. Real recognize real like you said. Keep it up G
Real reaction from a critic is a legitimate reaction! Appreciate you! Subbed ❤️
Stevie what a great reaction, Tom's been blowing up the way we view rap and the world we live in these days. Your breakdown on this song is definitely one of the best I've viewed so far. This song is pure fire but this reaction is the flamethrower building those flames even higher. #HOGarmy
Ay Stevie, thanks for reacting to more Tom, I appreciate that you don't let your preference keep you from listening to artists. Especially when it comes to Tom's music
I'm a big fan of lyricists... Hop, Snow, NF, Tech - and recently, Tom has managed to creep his way onto my playlist. Love that you spoke your piece about why you've been hesitant to react to his tracks, but still gave the time to hear him out on this one!🤘
Those are all great artists. I don't know snow but i will them him/her out because of the rest of the list you posted. Thanks.
What about Capital Steez?
I been trying to tell you Tom aint just a political rapper.
Boom Bap 101
No Response
This House
I'm Sorry
all are bar heavy with no hook #HOG4LIFE
That's because he can't recognize genius. That's okay, Tom doesn't look down. 😉
I love the fact that you can see talent when talent shows itself. If you like him or just vibe you cant deny he has something.
This is Tom’s next level.
Y’all ain’t ready.
By next level do you mean level 1
That's the thing about Tom that many don't get, the HOG fam is so dedicated to Tom because he is so truthful and dedicated to us. Real does recognize real and Tom is as real and raw as they come, that's why the HOG is rock solid and growing every day. I'll sub to reactors who are gonna be fair and not be hatin just for views cuz that's weak. Those are the ones who are either deaf, plain haters, or wouldn't know talent if it jumped up and did a spin kick to their dome...just saying. I'm subbed now and looking forward to the next reaction ✌
#HOG4EVER ❤🤘
100%
Facts.
No response and this house don't have hooks pure bars and 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love him or hate him the boy is making money and got some sick wording in his lyrics.. and triggers the right people 😂😂
Your last point is the best part🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome reaction! Thanks ❤️
Jan 2024 saw this reaction pop up. Stevie is the real deal love watching and somehow missed this reaction. Love how you keep it real.
No response is all bars no hook too. I feel like you will appreciate it as well. Thanks for always being real.
Literally about to post this same comment. "I'm Sorry" and "This House" also good for bars
Facts I love Tom Stevie don’t really but I watch his reviews cause he’s so honest
I certainly appreciate a react from a critic . Consider, Tom is the only "Stan" who's made it big enough to BUY back Slim's beats. 🤘🦉🔥
the beats were part of an NFT drop. literally anyone could've bought one. its not like he even met Em lol
@@stevencross4252 you completely missed his point, my guy.
@@ed-bar he completely missed the point...
Em is overrated! What’s he released that’s decent recently? He sold out!
@@Sethrickable what's the point then? Are you saying Tom is running around telling people Em's his best friend? When did he say he even knows Em? I'm pretty sure he made it clear in the song itself that he doesn't. Producers sell beats to people they don't know all the time, bro. Okay, maybe he missed the point, sure, okay. And maybe I'm missing the point too, whatever. But bro, you're missing reality if you think him not knowing Em makes a damn difference.
Bro honestly as much as you critic tom most the h.o.g fam need to reliese we need reactors like you saying shit not to be an asshole but to be like hey this my opinion on what I like in music full respect on your content and the way you talk YOUR truth
Exactly 💯 that's why I like watching his reactions. He's able to respect the artist but also himself when he doesn't feel it.
@@steph-fu2zm Especially with Calhoun. To sit down and talk in a podcast like manner was a great gesture of respect
I couldn't agree more. We are all entitled to our own opinions and perspectives and ideas which should absolutely be respected especially when it's done in such a professional and respectful manner. Thanks so much ❤
I gotta say, I have to keep watching this over n over cuz it is soooo fun to finally see you jammin out to some tom🤟🤟
This House is still my fav track, but this song had a whole different kind of energy. Reminds me of Shit Eminem did in the Slim Shady days as "therapy."
I appreciate the honesty & The fact you give him the credit him and his girl & best friend deserve. It’s humbling to see that people can still appreciate others talents and love for music whichever kind we like. God bless you.
You can see the wrestler's showmanship in his style.
That’s what I came to say. 😂
He makes his point beautifully and strongly in this.
This reaction was refreshing. I'm a huge Tom fan & i watch a lot of reaction channels. It's painfully obvious when reactors got a taste of HOG views & likes, then instantly started over-loving everything single bar of every song. I've seen a couple of your reactions to Tom & you've always been honest. it was clear how this one hyped you up organically. Loved it!
This reaction i'm pretty sure is what made me sub to your channel.. Because like you said Real Recognizes Real... And you caught a couple of the jokish kinda more fun or super political tracks from him at the start and you didn't like him and you were straight up about it.. You weren't even gonna keep reacting to him.. But you got harped on enough to keep watching the video's because people kept on you.. And now you're finding videos and songs that you like and you're being fucking real about it.. I know this is an old video but just figured I'd throw this out there.. Most people if they started out not liking someone would refuse to like anything they did just to keep that initial point.. But you didn't.. you are humble enough to be like you know what I didn't like that other shit ... but fuck this is fire man... Good shit man.. That's why I still watch your channel..
Your dog in the background like "Yo! Finish talkin' yo shit and come feed me!"
If there was ever a song to recommend from Tom, it would be "This House." I feel like this song was "This house 2.0" and the first one was the best track he's ever dropped. Hope you check it out and show us your reaction!
Everybody commenting on this saying you need to react to 'this house' are 100% correct..... tom snapped on that song after all the hate he.copped from whiteboy
That was some of the most poetic shit Ive ever heard he’s crazy good
And you giving respect grants you respect. You a real dude. subscribed. 💥💥💥💥
Never listened to rap my whole life. Started listening to this guy, because is message is real. I hate mainstream music, and what it does to music in general. All music should be independent. This was a great reaction video
@@mateonelson3862 exactly I can't stand these purist and these I don't usually like rap crowd. They just come off as ignorant and annoying
“This house” is just as good. No hook, just bars.
This guy without a hook and just raw emotion is insanely good. This is where he should be at. He can still do all the other stuff but more bangers like this is needed.
This is still one of my favorite reactions of yours ever. Just seeing you enjoy Tom was nice man
YEAAAAHHHHHHH!!! How the heck did I miss this one when it came out??? Fantastic reaction, especially coming from a critic!
I clicked on this the second the notification popped up, never thought I'd see you bobbing to Tom much less throughout the entire 7 minute song! Really though I do feel the same way you feel about Tom, but i appreciate so much that you are not afraid to share your real opinions and recognize a good song when you hear it! Thanks Stevie!
This Tom MacDonald is the REAL THING he speaks the true facts in everything he does he is a down to earth guy and humble has can be he knows where he came from and he knows where he and Nova, Brandon are going they do everything themselves totally 💯 he is a GENIUS that song 🔥🔥🔥and nobody owns them 🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻❤️✊🤩🍿
I like this when he is agressive and pissed off. That's when he is at his best imo.
Especially the Mac Lethal battle. Piss of Tom, see the fake right, and get your shit rocked by the uppercut cause you’re too blind to see the whole picture. He just rocks these bitches.
testosterone is a wonderful thing in a man!😏
I like your respect for his music. His last couple songs was a message for us about how we should come together as human beings and stop listening to the media which separates us all.
And how famous roll models are those who dress provacative for the young girls as idols rather then us humans or young children looking up to successful business women and men with careers who dress appropriate and should be the roll models of today, those who make a difference. Also he did climb to the top by himself. He succeeded to be where he's at. If we didn't listen to the media and the government we still wouldn't have this war with color. We'd be united as one and the war between us would end.
You have to react to “I’m sorry“, no response, and this house. Absolute 🔥
Your head will explode
The fact he almost cancelled this awesome track because his girlfriend who shoots his videos had a major asthma attack. Nova is a beast .true power couple!!
The girl is tough as hell and a great artist as well.
Doesn't she record his video's?
@@jeremyhigdon3402 yes
@Peter Griffin what? You seriously call her a wh*re?
@Peter Griffin It was serious enough that I think she had to go to the hospital or something, or almost did. Not all people's asthma is mild; for some it's really serious.
Bro I listened to this earlier and was like ok Tom!! This was 🔥. Best I’d heard from his new stuff. Always felt the way you have with Tom. Followed him and supported out of respect for what he was doing and what he stood for. But didn’t feel his music too much. Anyway one of his fans told me two tracks to listen to like a month ago and I enjoyed them as well. I reckon you could too.
This house
I wish
That’s the tracks in case you thinking to try a few others.
Helluvit is another one of his best songs
@@nikanconqueror7 thanks. Il check it out
His No Response is all bars no hook fire 🔥🔥
No response is so much better. Stevie should really check it out.
IDK if you wanna go back a few decades in time, but my favorite Tom song is actually Boom Bap 101 and it is probably his most amazing song lyrically and cadence-wise (in my opinion)
Bruh... that beat is fucking filthy.
Stevie asked. "bruh, who is he talking to?"
He is talking to all of us. Everyone who used to hate or continue to hate on his music because of the subject matter content.
I would like to see him react to some more Tom songs. Like “This House” or “Cancelled” or “No Response” even “I’m Sorry”!
Edit: these are mostly songs without hooks and they are really good!
Exactly Tom is the real deal
since day one
Fully independent
The best ever!
TM is top 1000 ever… it is great that you like him… but listen to hip hop before throwing around best ever… he’s a bad rapper and great marketer… I love his success… I hate his music
@@sidneyleake I have probably listened to more hip hop then you considering I am almost 50
But whatever makes you happy. He’s the best obviously your not watching his numbers or listening closely. Opinions are like buttholes everyone has one.

I think the world needs to realize music is subjective, like any art, not everyone will like what you do, everyone’s taste is music, art, movies etc is different and THAT IS OK! Having different opinions is what keeps us and life interesting.
Exactly. However a lot of people the hate on Tom don’t have the ability to realize this.
Yeah but Tom trash

The concept of his head weighing a million pounds and still never looking down makes me think of the tale of Atlas, who carried the world on his shoulders. Very cool.
Never been a fan but appreciated his music. This is awsome though. Great reaction video.
