To the point of mainstream music pushing their brand of "music" the published 5 more versions of Nicki Minaj's song and another of Meg Thee Stallion's song on ITunes as soon as this song hit #1 on the charts. The streams and downloads are all using the same identifying number as the original so every stream/download on all versions will count towards the number viewed by Billboard as *one* song. These are the tactics they use to keep independent artists from charting #1 in sales.
@@toodlescae YT becomes highly censorious when you start quoting facts to support a claim/theory. You might get away with the initial comment but the more you converse and attempt to argue your point in detail suddenly comments disappear or get shadow banned. Used to be you could quote paragraphs from news articles/studies or provide links...for the most part those days are long gone.
I'm 60years old been listening to Tom for 2 year's. I have noticed he actually reads his comments and he responds. He speaks thing's that I really can't say. I live in Yorkshire, and I loved your balanced reasoning. Personally I think this particular rap is a bit of a troll situation. Ben actually asked to do this, because he had a bit of back and forwards with niki menarge. She's since come out and congratulated them both. They did make it to number 1. Tom has consistently sold more singles and albums and should have been number 1 a dozen times. He's totally independent and him and Nova are a power couple. They do everything, sending out albums. From their home. She's a singer too and I think she should start doing a lot more. Her videos can be so funny. Just love the dynamics. Like i said in the uk,can we ever say certain things. No,because we would be arrested. Sorry it's long. I've subscribed to your channel because of this review. Looking forward to seeing other thing's. Kindest regards ❤🎉
I've watched many reactions to this, and by far, your reaction is the best. You came from a place of common sense. I feel that this type of conversation is exactly why Tom makes the music he does. Excellent reaction truly enjoyed an adult perspective. I couldn't agree with you more.
I'm 58. Do NOT like rap music but... I Love Tom and what he stands for. End of the day we ALL BLEED the SAME COLOUR. We are all born, we all die. No one is born racist, it's taught. It needs to stop. You were spot on with what you said 😊
One of the best reactions I've watched this week Charlie. You made some great points. I wish more people would be as articulate and thoughtful as you were on this video. We are all being played by the media for sure. It's just pick a side. Nuance is so important. That said I love this track. Total banger. Tom kills it everytime he drops a new track.
Thank you for your reaction. I loved it ❤. Tom gives people something to talk about. Agree or disagree. People talk about he's from Canada, but he's lived in the US for 9+ years and seems more pro American than Americans. Ben approached Tom about this song. Loved this song #hogfamily
This 'song' is FIRE and it's already gotten the attention it deserves....this thing, due to the collaboration, turned me (78 yr old boomer) onto Tom MacDonald...now i have his last CD and a T-shirt and i spread his/their msg wherever i go...RockIt
This a wonderful reaction to a very, very good song. I’ve never cared for rap, until I heard Tom, now I like a little of it. I still couldn’t have it on very long, but Tom had opened my eyes as to how he’s using it to spread his word(s). Thanks for you video, it’s much appreciated
I'm always open to hear opposing view points as long as it's with someone that is equally open ti hear mine. I no longer waste my time with brainwashed narrow minded individuals because I've found they're usually not even open to find common ground. I think Tom is fantastic and only wish he & his gf more success!
I love what this song actually did. I am coming at this as a fan of Tom. So many people hate him on his “political/controversial” songs but if people LISTEN, he tells everyone you don’t have to agree, it’s an important conversation. In the day it was a rapper’s JOB to push these social issues into your face so it starts the conversation. He doesn’t tell you what to agree with. He’s in the middle, like so many of us that just want to find the common sense/common ground and Tom is great at pointing it out. 90% of Tom’s music has NOTHING to do with that, it’s his life experience that relates to so many of us. Anyone who took this at so offensive that they can’t stand Tom or think he’s pandering or his music is to make people upset have never listened to anything else he’s done. I’ve talked to him and Nova a few times now, I found them at my lowest point in life and them and the hangover gang rallied around me. When you don’t have a lot of people in your life for medical issues, like me, these people wrapped their arms around me and held me up when I couldn’t do it on my own. These are good people and I think that him and Nova do a great job of showing you can have differing opinions and still get along fine. He calls out the politicians and what they are doing to people, and wants people to look at for themselves. Anyway, that’s my two cents on it and I agree with your take it on as well 💯. ❤
I accidentally stumbled across your video when i was almost in tears over the world today & how you opened your video & what you had to say... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Just got a new friend & subscribe! Proud of you for your growth maturity & acknowledgement of such. Outstanding job sir.
Great reaction again bro 🔥🔥 Now I'm a 54 year old man and I didn't follow him hop and rap that much until Tom because he spoke a message I could relate to which is missing from mainstream music who for me personally I believe are selling a false narrative and unachievable goals to people and glorifying drugs, guns, drinking and sexualize women but people look up to them has told models but there far from that and the music industry is corrupting the youth of today which Tom is pointing out in th is song Has for the rest of what I feel is happening in society I think we are losing sight of reality everything is ideologies now not based on facts and that's not just LGBTQ+ it's across the board we are told this what we should be doing this is way we should be acting but the cold stone truth is too many people are going along with this and closing their mind of to the fact they maybe not be told both sides of the story and it causes division and I also think that such apps has TikTok are to blame because they are watching someone in a minute or so clip giving out false information because it's only their point of view very few of their comments are based on facts and they don't tell the other side of the story either so it makes people believe something that isn't accurate and sorry but the art of conservation is practically dead no one really talks to each other anymore because social media is all they seem to be interested in so they are too busy looking at their phones rather sitting down and having an intelligent conversation because that's the only we can resolve issues we may not agree but at least we can say we tried but we can also respect them if their prepared to listen to both sides of the coin but I don't see that happening anytime soon if I'm honest and that's sad this is how I feel I know some people will not agree and that's ok I respect other people's opinion even if I don't agree with them but I'm willing to hear them out and one other thing don't hate on people because they do choose to have a different opinion to yourself there's already enough hate in this world that we need to eradicate without making hateful comments That's the end of my novel lol 😂 #Hangovergangforever
Good reaction. 👍 And i would love to say there is something other than facts in the world But as a suprise facts are the things that can make a huge impact
Thank you for addressing the reality of what I term the "grey area." The extremes in thought, experience, intelligence are black and white, while in reality most of us have beliefs in the grey zone. My husband says there is a reason the brain is called grey matter, because black/white thinking will kill you. I appreciate your nuanced reaction.
thank you for opening up your channel to Tom(&ben) en though you know there will be ppl complaining in the comments , i was a far left for 10 + years , ppl like tom made me realise I was being the close minded one , now im a centrist / common sense section lol , love the reaction! keep doing you x
It's a beautiful thing to see someone mature from living in a tiny echo chamber bubble to broadening their wisdom and understanding and being able to start taking accountability for themselves and accepting influence from others. Massive applause to you for coming so far and fantastic reaction/break down of this song. I subscribed to you for your acapella group reactions but was pleasantly surprised by this and your Rich Men North of Richmond reactions. I find music to be the absolute best exploratory medium of human experience and emotion. It truly is the universal language in that it transcends barriers and can speak to everyone about everything.
Fantastic comment. I totally agree. Music is definitely a universal language. As James Taylor once said, 'music is physics. A note is twice the frequency of the octave below it, and thusly there is something impirically true about it. This gives us a kind of relief from the isolation of life' I'm paraphrasing of course, and that is only part of the monologue but it was one of the most beautiful descriptions of music I'd ever heard. I think I actually posted it on my instagram. Thank you for your kind words too. I appreciate that
Those who won't accept someone taking responsibility as enough are unreasonably who are saying that people should be born perfect and dismiss the fact that a part of life is perpetual growth.
I hope more people follow your lead on how to interact with the world. You are thoughtful and reasonable, and seem to be a man of peace. Jordan Peterson recommends approaching everyone with the assumption they may have something of value to say that might teach you something worth your attention. It sounds like you understand this well. Good video sir...
I love your attitude Charlie, how you view life and how you explain it to us with humility and honesty. I came for this amazing song, I’m sticking with you 😜
Found you by accident. So glad I did. Its nice to hear someone who has no agenda honestly speaking about things. There are so many of us who aren't far right or far left and we feel as if our voices are silenced by the extremes. Thanks for keeping an open mind. Look forward to catching up on your content.
Well I'm overjoyed to have you here. It's tough isn't it. When you don't subscribe to either side of the false dichotomy people often accuse you of being on the fence or being wet or a people pleaser. But in oder to be on the fence I'd have to still be within the spectrum of the system they subscribe to and I'm not. There is no one I would currently vote for because the system, that reaches far beyond the buildings where our politicians sit, needs a colonic irrigation.
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel I agree. Neither side represents me and none of the candidates have won my vote. This may be the first year I don't plan to vote in an election since 1980. Don't see the point in propping up a failed institution.
I do enjoy your reactions. You don't just touch on the technical side of music, and the overall excellence of a track and the singer,, you reference the emotional side and meaning of the lyrics, and you extend that to discussing cause and effect. This is a great message rap. E❤
Tom McDonald does pop political culture, Ben is political culture. Ben wrote his own lyrics based on his comments from all his platform. Plus check out his Thug life Ben Shapiro
❤❤❤ I just LOVE YOU AND YOUR HEART! YOU ARE A GREAT HUMAN. KEEP TELLING THE TRUTH WITH YOUR PLATFORM. JUST LIKE hate, denial, judgment and close-mindedness breed hate, denial and close-mindedness. LOVE, AWARENESS, NON JUDGMENT AND OPEN-MINDEDNESS BREED LOVE, AWARENESS, NON JUDGMENT AND OPEN-MINDEDNESS. THATS ALL UNPOLORIZE THE WORLD TOGETHER!!!
I really appreciate your humility, to me it makes you more of a man to stop and tell yourself that the way you were going about things was wrong, AND then share that with your audience, for that I tip my hat to you good sir, great reaction!
I loved your perspective on listening to people. I look at the world much the same way you do. Listen to everyone, but evaluate what they say to see if it holds value. I have tried to have conversations with plenty of people online, but almost always end up with being called "racist", "homophobic" (actually all the -phobic possibilities), and so on. All because they disagree with my point of view. I love to talk with people I disagree with because 3 things can happen, 1) I become more convinced that I'm right, 2) I modify my belief/opinion, 3) I change my mind. Those afraid I might be right immediately start throwing personal attacks. It's getting disheartening because that seems to be the go to these days. Anyway, liked your reaction overall.
I couldn't stomach listening to the song again, so I do apologize for only listening to your intro, but I've really come to like and respect what you have to say through you Ren reactions mostly, and a few others, so I'll just speak on the intro...I agree whole heartedly with your sentiment on listening to your perceived enemies, or heck, just listening more. I probably got about 10-15yrs on ya, I'm approaching retirement age and old fart status, but I'm fighting it pretty hard..lol, one of the most profound things that happened in my life, and changed my outlook and path, for the better, also rocked me to my very core, and sent me to some dark places for a while, that story is for another day though. But on my journey out of those dark places I had nothing but time on my hands (wasn't locked up, but I mine as well have been) and was desperate to keep my mind busy, so I embarked on a series of deep dives on every single belief and ideology I had ever held, which led me to more questioning of everything, I even took online classes about journalistic integrity, researching, and propaganda and conspiracy debunking, I was absolutely obsessed at finding a clear cut way through all the BS and straight to the truth on matters of the world around me. Well I didn't find it, but what I did find, was like the old saying, the more you know, the more you realize how little you really know...lol. But it humbled me, and I think there is wisdom in that humility, it did though alter some of my ideologies, and solidified others, but one of the greatest skills I learned brings me back to our point, and that was.... Even though I didn't find any magic tricks to finding the truth about an issue or story, I found that increasing the amount of places I looked/researched, and the types of places I looked, as in sources I normally wouldn't be caught dead associating with or reading otherwise, polar opposite of my views, were the two biggest factors for getting as close to the truth, or the clearest picture of the issue that I could hope for, and definitely enough to make an informed opinion on the subject. Most importantly though, it humanized those with starkly different views than mine, I might still staunchly disagree with them, but I at least saw how they came to hold such views, and most often they reached those views, from a place of good, and a sense of what they thought was right. So instead of seeing certain people as ignorant or evil monsters filled with hate, I started seeing many of them simply as humans, misguided from my point of view, but still humans. And since then have made several good friendships with people who 5yrs ago, I probably wouldn't have given them the time of day if ya paid me. So all that was to say, I agree with you to a point, and while I'm pretty far left leaning, I realize our side has lots of issues too, but I also get frustrated with the narrative, at least here in the U.S., "well the extremes on both sides are bad, people just need to come together". First off the U.S. has no political left, but more importantly, I think two things can be true at once, that both sides have issues, but that one side is easily more toxic and full of rage and hate than the other. I honestly didn't watch long enough to see what you had to say about the song, because music is objective for the most part, I know there's music I like that others think is complete garbage, I don't even care that most of my favorite reactors did this track, what upsets me is how many of them just gushed over it and praised not just how good the song was, when objective or not, it's mediocre at best, but that none of them called out the fact, that there are few "facts" in a track with that same name. Or that they don't call out the obvious transphobia, and hatred, or the fact that Ben has a very lucrative career from being a divisive trans/gay-phobe racist far right talking head. Not even that I expect them to call it out, but to just glaze over it, like he's just a normal friendly celebrity who has a cooking show or something. I guess that's the other reason why I didn't want to watch any more of the video, and why I don't view this reaction much at all with other reactors I like. I mean Tom's whole gimmick has been right wing dog whistle type rhetoric from the start, but in the last year or so, it's become downright hate filled, far right, promoting literal violence, type rhetoric in every song. I mean look at this song, "I don't care about your feelings" I mean how you supposed to meet someone halfway and have a civil conversation with someone like that, and Tom has a pretty big platform and a lot of young minds hanging on every word he regurgitates, that is why I get frustrated by Tom and others like him. Anyway, there's my two cents, I probably owe ya much more for the therapy session..lol, take care! ✌️💚
I’ve listened to numerous reactions to this rap tune for the reactor’s analysis. You are so spot on! Let’s listen to other’s perspectives, as there can be some true nuggets of knowledge.
This was a very well thought reaction, new sub💕 you might find The System or Brainwashed Tom Macdonald interesting, he has a great way of pointing out how we are all stuck in a position where those in charge are pushing to polarize everything.
12:23 right, people will say that they are just saying the truth while omitting many of the inconvenient facts and sometimes just stating some silly opinion, without even having any truth. And they’re doing it just to be obnoxious and tear people down, on the other extreme. Some people shouting isms, other people, shouting snowflakes, but they’re both shouting. The words and impact may be different, but the behavior is the same. It’s a lot easier to just tune out of your own life and your own problems and reality in general and get mad at something else that seems far away. I think that’s why people are so preoccupied with things like presidential elections when really, they have such little impact most of the time, and everybody already has their minds made up. Just foaming at the mouth for things to distract them from all the problems and shortcomings they have procrastinated with and deny, but are real. At the end of the day, you can’t often logic someone out of a place that they didn’t logic into. You would hope that in light of new evidence, the new evidence could change what people believe, despite their pre-suppositions of an idea. But that’s such a hard thing for most people. The very act of taking accountability, or changing your mind on something, is admitting that a previous version of you was essentially dumb or naïve to some extent because otherwise, you wouldn’t have been wrong. People sink cost into things and ideas and continue to sync cost having sunk that cost as the fallacy goes, because they’re so deep in already. It could be any kind of idea that they have about the world. It could be a physical thing, or a person that they’ve sunk the cost into. And they’re just not willing to see it any other way because they would rather feel right then do right. It’s OK to be a hypocrite, when you are consistently, killing part of yourself, that you are critical against. Our dumb ideas need to die so that the good ones can win and we can progress . That’s true of us at an individual level, and it’s true of us as a small community level, and it’s true of us at a national level. The best people for the job need to get the job. The best ideas need to win out. Because anything short of that is a disaster. It’s bizarre watching all of these teenagers and even adults and sometimes especially adults behaving so much more immature than my six-year-old kid who might pushback a little, but is willing to admit fairly quickly when they did something wrong and they know it without question. I feel bad for the people out there who have just spent their lives finding inventive ways to tell themselves that everybody else is the problem and it’s not their fault at any level.
First off, appreciate your point of view. I resonate a lot with it. 8:23 right. It’s a multi party problem, right? Like who’s at fault for making crappy video games ultimately, the developers who know they are going to make cash off of a predatory game where the people who keep on buying the games? In my opinion, it’s both of those parties. People consuming the thing and people supply the thing create this problem together That the culture and whatnot is so dominated by these ideas is a reflection on our culture and it is what it is. Very unfortunate. With that said, just the funniness and the rejection of those things in this particular song is also what it is. And so you have good, strong, valuable behavior, and it’s just kind of up to you to gravitate towards it, and choose it for yourself if you want to have positive outcomes.
Well, not what everyone else is thinking. But a lot for sure. That's the beauty of it though. You can agree with them or you could not. The point is that we have to coexist with people we do and don't agree with. It's the people that expect to live in a world where everyone agrees with them that are the real issue. I don't know how we've got to that point as a species. What an insanely delusional expectation
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel I don't care if there are differences of opinion, it's quite hypocritical that people know what he says is true and then they attack without any logic...
@@Justice-e5k what makes you assume they know it's true? Just because you beleive it's true doesn't mean everyone else secretly does too. Is that just wishful thinking? It sounds like you're actually one of the people that expects everyone to agree with you
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel I don't care if there are differences of opinion, If their opinions are against why don't they know how to explain them and just get angry and curse without any sense that's what I meant.
@user-hv7rq5zn3x I don't know who you're talking about brother. There are all sorts of people who will respond in all sorts of ways. Just look at this comment section. Theres a huge variety of responses. Some angry, some balanced, some indifferent, some pro. 🤷🏻♂️. Try not to let just one type of person piss you off so much
I'm 70 yrs old. Until this song didn't like rap. Reason, to vulgar for my taste in music. Only song of rap I have downloaded. Greatest troll of all time lol
There is probably not one person on the planet I agree with 100%. Moderation seems to no longer exist and as always offence it "taken" not "given" in most cases. Some seem to have lost the ability to take opposing facts toss them around in their brains, percolate them and come to with their own opinion. I hope they are actually the minority. Your commentary is great and I enjoyed it.
I love how you broke down lyrics how it’s not about others beliefs opinions but acceptance we all should receive same respect on valid points of life. Not trying to change what is factual Song to me is exactly on most people feel & think Ben rap lyrics hysterically 😂 since way out of his comfort zone but he did good job 👏 love this song 🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️♥️♥️ #HOG #Tom #Nova #Ben
@@dr_jackjigsaw1078 Ohhh my bad. I misunderstood you my friend. I thought you were suggesting that I could have mentioned it 😂. I was very confused for a second there. Yes I see what you mean and totally agree. Since when was listening to all sides a bad thing!
We have a far right Conservative party being pushed further to the right to compete with far right pressure groups like the Brexit party,reform UK .not every right wing voter is racist homophobic but right wing, homophobic, racist support the , Brexit, Conservative party and reform , UK.
This is not true -used to think like this as a Classical Liberal but though I am still a Classical Liberal we are not welcome on the left-now Social Democrats just like the 3rd Reich-kindly do further research Mita Kola 👵🏽✌🏾✨💚✨
well, the Conservative party is pretty left wing. Every social program is a left wing endeavour. Being pro-NHS, the biggest social program ever enacted on this planet, makes you left wing irrelevant of every other thing you may do. The rest of your nonsense was.....nonsense. Brexit is a 68%-by-constituency landslide of an idea. It's the most popular idea voted on since 1605. If you think 68% of the country is far right, the Bell curve would mean that 99.99% are right wing. And if that was true we wouldn't have an NHS now would we. Also, every single person supporting LGBT is ANTI-LGB. If you are anti LGB you can very swiftly and correctly be described as homophobic. If you are a BLM supporter you are a RACIST. Tell me, have you come across any LGBT or BLM messaging anywhere in the last 5 years? Were those places all "far right" ? No, they were all mainstream left-leaning institutions like both main parties, the BBC, the Police, all schools and universities. Every major HR department in the country..... smh.
I don’t need to tell you how much I side with your opening statement. We’ve both changed on our journeys, and this song is just another truth statement that will get twisted by those who don’t agree
Not sure what’s up with your likes but you had 335 likes but when I liked it your video dropped to 332 likes real time. Strange 4 people changed their votes in that same second…. I agree with your message Homie.
Toxic accountability? No such thing. Hearing someone tell you to be accountable may feel bad, but your feelings don't make their comment wrong or toxic. I don't think you actually listened to the robins seminar or this song
My feelings had nothing to do with it. It was a post where I took full accountability. The 'toxic' part was that they were so blinded by their belief in taking accountability that a lack of it is all they could see, even when it was actually there (I wrote 2 paragraphs dedicated to it). I thought I made that super clear
Hi Charlie. I found you this morning and liked and subscribed to you. Would you listen to a couple of more Tom Macdonald songs/videos? He did one with Dax called Blame the Rappers. I think you will like it. Also a video called Castles and his newest songs called Superman and an old one called My Fans. Thank you Charlie. I would appreciate it so much. I'll check back with you. #HOG4LIFE
Not sure what you are talking about re your post being misread; but I question why you are asking a bunch of complete strangers for advice as you seemed to imply? As I grew up, I was taught to listen to people I respect and talk to them for advice, not a bunch of strangers. May as well ask people in the supermarket que if they think you have made the correct choice, or where to move forward from where you are. Strangers have their own agendas in mind, not yours (I am trying to be genuine here, but I too am a stranger...) I like his courage in going against the grain and trying to bring some common sense back into music. Throughout history there have been people who stood up for what they believe. Some have been a catalyst for societal change by causing others to reassess their priorities and values. Also by encouraging discussion. I wonder if that is what we are seeing here? I think his music will last the test of time, but only time will tell. Edited to add: The original interview Ben Shapiro did with Tom is an interesting listen. It showcases the source of the collaboration.
Also for what I was asking advice on it was an appropriate place to ask. It was basically a querie about elements of entrepreneurship. The group is full of successful entrepreneurs.....
I'm just going to say this the fact that you have to make that statement at the very beginning of your video is not a good sign, as for the song it's a banger
Sou brasileira e durante muitos anos optei, politicamente, pela esquerda. Mas a decepção foi tamanha com o governo. Com a chegada do TH-cam, comecei a ouvir pensadores, considerados de direita. E percebi que concordava em muitos aspectos. Hoje acho esse progressismo ocidental uma chatice. O mundo ficou cansativo e desinteressante. E outra certeza que tenho: o ocidente está em plena decadência. Em breve será sucumbido, feito o antigo império Romano. Estou presenciando a queda da Europa e dos EUA . América Latina??? Coitada. Mero fantoche.
Firstly, That's not an apology. Secondly, that's the exact problem that I addressed throughout the whole video. Tribalism. All I'm doing is addressing that and you're the only one pissing and moaning about it. Think you need to grow a pair my man. Open your ears for long enough to not be triggered by the tiniest part of what I said and you might learn enough to make sure you don't write silly comments like this. You COMPLETELY missed the point
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel Projection from a weak man who feels the need to explain why it's ok to watch a music video. You know what you were doing. "I'm one of the good people!"
Thanks for making this video so I know to never check your channel out again. I'm not sure if you didn't go to school or if you lacked hugs as a kid, but you should probably try to be on the right side of history, which is ironically not on the right of the political spectrum.
Thanks for confirming you're one of the polarised masses I spoke of that lacks the ability to consider nuance. What makes you think your absence from my channel is important to me? 😂😂
Did you actually listen to anything I said or did you just see Ben Shapiro and think 'AHHHHGGGG RIGHT WING. He must epitomise everything I beleive about the right......' and throw your toys out of the buggy? 🙄
And yet you're commenting on reactions to a song that highlights political polarisation while ensuring it continues. No one is apologising here. It's a smoothener and clarification on possition. Something evidently necessary considering how polarised the majority of people are. But keep behaving like a bitter bulldozer. Im afraid you're not going to start any useful conversations if you're going to get that pissed off about so little
@@paulborowski591 haha you're hilarious. You don't know the first thing about me. First of all, men like me start conversations. Men like you just throw your toys out of the buggy and complain. Your heart os full of hate brother, go and do something useful
@@paulborowski591 you're exactly who I was speaking about when I raised the issue of taking an idea to too far of an extreme. In your case it's to do with sensitivity. Is it good to not be too sensitive and be exactly who you are? Absofuckinglutely But is it useful to push it to the extreme where you can't even attempt to smooth a line between two sides? Obviously not. That's dumb. All you're doing is ensuring the 'us v them' attitude continues, and ensuring the very thing you're complaining about continues. You think you can bully and shame people into alignment? Do you even know how stupid that sounds?
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel Shame is needed. Especially to curb weakness. The polarization is amplified by people who feed into it. That's why people like you only explain away from one side of the aisle. How about not consoling anyone, and freely engaging with all content without trying to insulate yourself from Liberal backlash. Only one side of the aisle cancels people, and you're feeding them.
Clearly, you are concerned and apprehensive about reacting to this video or you would not have preempted the potential backlash with an explanation and what it means to you. I think it is much more impressive to just react to the video without justifying it beforehand. Grow some balls.
I'm not concerned at all. If I was I wouldn't have done it. This is my channel and I'm the only gate keeper to what goes on it. I wasn't justifying anything. I was setting up for the conversation I thought was important to have. One that the song actually ended up feeding into. If you don't like it you are so much more than welcome to not be here giving me more views and engagement. I do not care
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel I appreciate your response, however you do not know yourself and have not thought things through as evidenced by your denial to the feedback I gave you. I will believe you see the light if in future reactions, you get into it without a preemption. I knew you were originally from the left as all people I have seen who drift away from the left do exactly the same as you. I did subscribe to you, I thought you reaction was good.
I'm not in the slightest bit interested in what you think you know about me. You don't know the first thing about me. Ironically you're actually doing exactly what I pointed out which is seeing one bit of information and thinking you can summarise a load of other stuff about me, my intentions, and my thinking. You're not as switched on a you profess. It's like you can't actually handle not knowing where I stand or what my actual beliefs are so you've got to make them up. Just because I said I was pretty left leaning at one point you think you know where abouts I stand now. I gave you nothing and you're still trying to place me. Focus on the conversation instead of telling people to grow balls and making up stuff about them. Your need to catagorise and pigeonhole people is pretty primative
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel Chuckle... no need to say the obvious, of course you are not in the slightest bit interested in my feedback. It is painfully clear that you are a leftist pretending to be something you are not just to get clicks and subscribers. Thanks for shining light on yourself so that the real you is in 20/20 sight. I will spread the word as to what you really are.
To the point of mainstream music pushing their brand of "music" the published 5 more versions of Nicki Minaj's song and another of Meg Thee Stallion's song on ITunes as soon as this song hit #1 on the charts. The streams and downloads are all using the same identifying number as the original so every stream/download on all versions will count towards the number viewed by Billboard as *one* song. These are the tactics they use to keep independent artists from charting #1 in sales.
Wow! Just wow!
Wow. It wouldn't let me add the stats about the difference in view counts between this song and the one isted as trending #1 on here. 😂
@@toodlescae YT becomes highly censorious when you start quoting facts to support a claim/theory. You might get away with the initial comment but the more you converse and attempt to argue your point in detail suddenly comments disappear or get shadow banned. Used to be you could quote paragraphs from news articles/studies or provide links...for the most part those days are long gone.
I'm 60years old been listening to Tom for 2 year's. I have noticed he actually reads his comments and he responds. He speaks thing's that I really can't say. I live in Yorkshire, and I loved your balanced reasoning. Personally I think this particular rap is a bit of a troll situation. Ben actually asked to do this, because he had a bit of back and forwards with niki menarge. She's since come out and congratulated them both. They did make it to number 1. Tom has consistently sold more singles and albums and should have been number 1 a dozen times. He's totally independent and him and Nova are a power couple. They do everything, sending out albums. From their home. She's a singer too and I think she should start doing a lot more. Her videos can be so funny. Just love the dynamics. Like i said in the uk,can we ever say certain things. No,because we would be arrested. Sorry it's long. I've subscribed to your channel because of this review. Looking forward to seeing other thing's. Kindest regards ❤🎉
Amen to all above , I am 56 love Tom McDonald
This song is fun and catchy with a great message.
I enjoyed your commentary.
Thanks for sharing!
#hangovergang
I've watched many reactions to this, and by far, your reaction is the best. You came from a place of common sense. I feel that this type of conversation is exactly why Tom makes the music he does. Excellent reaction truly enjoyed an adult perspective. I couldn't agree with you more.
"I'm kind of hating on who I used to be." The best line ever!
I'm 58. Do NOT like rap music but... I Love Tom and what he stands for. End of the day we ALL BLEED the SAME COLOUR. We are all born, we all die. No one is born racist, it's taught. It needs to stop. You were spot on with what you said 😊
Very well stated ❤#HangOverGangFamily 🔥🔥🔥
As a child, I was upset to learn that The Royal Family didn't have blue blood? 👵🇬🇧🤔
racism exists only in the mind of the woke
Absolutely
Grew up on Dre, snoop, EazyE….. the walked away from hip hop when that highly mumble shit started. Tom is the shit! And this colab is EPIC!!!
One of the best reactions I've watched this week Charlie.
You made some great points. I wish more people would be as articulate and thoughtful as you were on this video.
We are all being played by the media for sure. It's just pick a side. Nuance is so important.
That said I love this track. Total banger. Tom kills it everytime he drops a new track.
Thank you brother. Really glad you enjoyed the video. Agreed, banger!
So true.
Tom and Ben trolling EVERYBODY! And they had a blast doing it! 🤣😂🤣 🔥🔥🔥 #HOG #NovaRockafeller
EPIC collab!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your reaction. I loved it ❤. Tom gives people something to talk about. Agree or disagree. People talk about he's from Canada, but he's lived in the US for 9+ years and seems more pro American than Americans. Ben approached Tom about this song. Loved this song #hogfamily
This 'song' is FIRE and it's already gotten the attention it deserves....this thing, due to the collaboration, turned me (78 yr old boomer) onto
Tom MacDonald...now i have his last CD and a T-shirt and i spread his/their msg wherever i go...RockIt
Love how you opened this video discussing “sides” and your commentary throughout. Everything you said was so true! Thank you!
Ben is UNBELIEVABLE here!!!!!!🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
This a wonderful reaction to a very, very good song.
I’ve never cared for rap, until I heard Tom, now I like a little of it. I still couldn’t have it on very long, but Tom had opened my eyes as to how he’s using it to spread his word(s).
Thanks for you video, it’s much appreciated
Don’t let the internet trolls get to you. I think they just sit home all day to spread negativity on anything they can. Great reaction ❤
I'm always open to hear opposing view points as long as it's with someone that is equally open ti hear mine. I no longer waste my time with brainwashed narrow minded individuals because I've found they're usually not even open to find common ground. I think Tom is fantastic and only wish he & his gf more success!
I love what this song actually did. I am coming at this as a fan of Tom. So many people hate him on his “political/controversial” songs but if people LISTEN, he tells everyone you don’t have to agree, it’s an important conversation. In the day it was a rapper’s JOB to push these social issues into your face so it starts the conversation. He doesn’t tell you what to agree with. He’s in the middle, like so many of us that just want to find the common sense/common ground and Tom is great at pointing it out. 90% of Tom’s music has NOTHING to do with that, it’s his life experience that relates to so many of us. Anyone who took this at so offensive that they can’t stand Tom or think he’s pandering or his music is to make people upset have never listened to anything else he’s done. I’ve talked to him and Nova a few times now, I found them at my lowest point in life and them and the hangover gang rallied around me. When you don’t have a lot of people in your life for medical issues, like me, these people wrapped their arms around me and held me up when I couldn’t do it on my own. These are good people and I think that him and Nova do a great job of showing you can have differing opinions and still get along fine. He calls out the politicians and what they are doing to people, and wants people to look at for themselves. Anyway, that’s my two cents on it and I agree with your take it on as well 💯. ❤
I accidentally stumbled across your video when i was almost in tears over the world today & how you opened your video & what you had to say... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Just got a new friend & subscribe! Proud of you for your growth maturity & acknowledgement of such. Outstanding job sir.
Thanks Amanda. I'm so glad to have you on board and I'm glad the video helped in some way today 🙏🏼
I enjoyed your reaction immensely. You have a kind spirit and speak simply but impactfully. Thank you for this. Oh, and the song kicks @$$!
Thank you Misty. I appreciate that. I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
Yes, agreed 💯
Great reaction again bro 🔥🔥
Now I'm a 54 year old man and I didn't follow him hop and rap that much until Tom because he spoke a message I could relate to which is missing from mainstream music who for me personally I believe are selling a false narrative and unachievable goals to people and glorifying drugs, guns, drinking and sexualize women but people look up to them has told models but there far from that and the music industry is corrupting the youth of today which Tom is pointing out in th is song
Has for the rest of what I feel is happening in society I think we are losing sight of reality everything is ideologies now not based on facts and that's not just LGBTQ+ it's across the board we are told this what we should be doing this is way we should be acting but the cold stone truth is too many people are going along with this and closing their mind of to the fact they maybe not be told both sides of the story and it causes division and I also think that such apps has TikTok are to blame because they are watching someone in a minute or so clip giving out false information because it's only their point of view very few of their comments are based on facts and they don't tell the other side of the story either so it makes people believe something that isn't accurate and sorry but the art of conservation is practically dead no one really talks to each other anymore because social media is all they seem to be interested in so they are too busy looking at their phones rather sitting down and having an intelligent conversation because that's the only we can resolve issues we may not agree but at least we can say we tried but we can also respect them if their prepared to listen to both sides of the coin but I don't see that happening anytime soon if I'm honest and that's sad this is how I feel I know some people will not agree and that's ok I respect other people's opinion even if I don't agree with them but I'm willing to hear them out and one other thing don't hate on people because they do choose to have a different opinion to yourself there's already enough hate in this world that we need to eradicate without making hateful comments
That's the end of my novel lol 😂
#Hangovergangforever
FACTS
Good reaction. 👍 And i would love to say there is something other than facts in the world
But as a suprise facts are the things that can make a huge impact
Thank you for addressing the reality of what I term the "grey area." The extremes in thought, experience, intelligence are black and white, while in reality most of us have beliefs in the grey zone. My husband says there is a reason the brain is called grey matter, because black/white thinking will kill you. I appreciate your nuanced reaction.
thank you for opening up your channel to Tom(&ben) en though you know there will be ppl complaining in the comments , i was a far left for 10 + years , ppl like tom made me realise I was being the close minded one , now im a centrist / common sense section lol , love the reaction! keep doing you x
Thanks Jess. Yeah people complain whatever you do so it's best to just crack on, as you say 😂. Thanks for watching. I appreciate you
It's a beautiful thing to see someone mature from living in a tiny echo chamber bubble to broadening their wisdom and understanding and being able to start taking accountability for themselves and accepting influence from others. Massive applause to you for coming so far and fantastic reaction/break down of this song. I subscribed to you for your acapella group reactions but was pleasantly surprised by this and your Rich Men North of Richmond reactions. I find music to be the absolute best exploratory medium of human experience and emotion. It truly is the universal language in that it transcends barriers and can speak to everyone about everything.
Fantastic comment. I totally agree. Music is definitely a universal language. As James Taylor once said, 'music is physics. A note is twice the frequency of the octave below it, and thusly there is something impirically true about it. This gives us a kind of relief from the isolation of life' I'm paraphrasing of course, and that is only part of the monologue but it was one of the most beautiful descriptions of music I'd ever heard. I think I actually posted it on my instagram.
Thank you for your kind words too. I appreciate that
Since I discovered that I genuinely don't know anything to be factually 100% inerrant, I have learnt to listen and I've devalued my personal opinions.
I love your perspective. Nice review.
*11M views and still rising...*
Those who won't accept someone taking responsibility as enough are unreasonably who are saying that people should be born perfect and dismiss the fact that a part of life is perpetual growth.
Love this song
I hope more people follow your lead on how to interact with the world. You are thoughtful and reasonable, and seem to be a man of peace. Jordan Peterson recommends approaching everyone with the assumption they may have something of value to say that might teach you something worth your attention. It sounds like you understand this well. Good video sir...
Thank you Chris. I'm glad you got what I was getting at
And yes I'm a big fan of JP. The man speaks a lot of sense and I love the complexity of his considerations and attention to detail
I love your attitude Charlie, how you view life and how you explain it to us with humility and honesty.
I came for this amazing song, I’m sticking with you 😜
Enjoyed your commentary and this song is a lot of fun-😂😂😂
Found you by accident. So glad I did. Its nice to hear someone who has no agenda honestly speaking about things. There are so many of us who aren't far right or far left and we feel as if our voices are silenced by the extremes. Thanks for keeping an open mind. Look forward to catching up on your content.
Well I'm overjoyed to have you here.
It's tough isn't it. When you don't subscribe to either side of the false dichotomy people often accuse you of being on the fence or being wet or a people pleaser. But in oder to be on the fence I'd have to still be within the spectrum of the system they subscribe to and I'm not. There is no one I would currently vote for because the system, that reaches far beyond the buildings where our politicians sit, needs a colonic irrigation.
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel I agree. Neither side represents me and none of the candidates have won my vote. This may be the first year I don't plan to vote in an election since 1980. Don't see the point in propping up a failed institution.
I agree. I think we all have more in common than what we're led to believe. I love the song & resonate with your perspective on it. New sub. 👍
This rap is LIT🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just subscribed after watching your Voiceplay reaction. I saw that you reacted to this collaboration and had to jump in. Great job!!

I appreciate your reaction. You have alot of positive sides to show the people.
Absolutely love your honesty - New sub 👵🏽✌🏾✨💚✨
I do enjoy your reactions. You don't just touch on the technical side of music, and the overall excellence of a track and the singer,, you reference the emotional side and meaning of the lyrics, and you extend that to discussing cause and effect. This is a great message rap. E❤
Tom McDonald does pop political culture, Ben is political culture. Ben wrote his own lyrics based on his comments from all his platform. Plus check out his Thug life Ben Shapiro

LOVE, AWARENESS, NON JUDGMENT AND OPEN-MINDEDNESS BREED LOVE, AWARENESS, NON JUDGMENT AND OPEN-MINDEDNESS. THATS ALL UNPOLORIZE THE WORLD TOGETHER!!!
I really appreciate your humility, to me it makes you more of a man to stop and tell yourself that the way you were going about things was wrong, AND then share that with your audience, for that I tip my hat to you good sir, great reaction!
Thabk you brother. I appreciate that. Thanks for watching
I love this reaction so much I just subscribed. Awesome dude
I loved your perspective on listening to people. I look at the world much the same way you do. Listen to everyone, but evaluate what they say to see if it holds value. I have tried to have conversations with plenty of people online, but almost always end up with being called "racist", "homophobic" (actually all the -phobic possibilities), and so on. All because they disagree with my point of view. I love to talk with people I disagree with because 3 things can happen, 1) I become more convinced that I'm right, 2) I modify my belief/opinion, 3) I change my mind. Those afraid I might be right immediately start throwing personal attacks. It's getting disheartening because that seems to be the go to these days. Anyway, liked your reaction overall.
I couldn't stomach listening to the song again, so I do apologize for only listening to your intro, but I've really come to like and respect what you have to say through you Ren reactions mostly, and a few others, so I'll just speak on the intro...I agree whole heartedly with your sentiment on listening to your perceived enemies, or heck, just listening more. I probably got about 10-15yrs on ya, I'm approaching retirement age and old fart status, but I'm fighting it pretty hard..lol, one of the most profound things that happened in my life, and changed my outlook and path, for the better, also rocked me to my very core, and sent me to some dark places for a while, that story is for another day though. But on my journey out of those dark places I had nothing but time on my hands (wasn't locked up, but I mine as well have been) and was desperate to keep my mind busy, so I embarked on a series of deep dives on every single belief and ideology I had ever held, which led me to more questioning of everything, I even took online classes about journalistic integrity, researching, and propaganda and conspiracy debunking, I was absolutely obsessed at finding a clear cut way through all the BS and straight to the truth on matters of the world around me.
Well I didn't find it, but what I did find, was like the old saying, the more you know, the more you realize how little you really know...lol. But it humbled me, and I think there is wisdom in that humility, it did though alter some of my ideologies, and solidified others, but one of the greatest skills I learned brings me back to our point, and that was....
Even though I didn't find any magic tricks to finding the truth about an issue or story, I found that increasing the amount of places I looked/researched, and the types of places I looked, as in sources I normally wouldn't be caught dead associating with or reading otherwise, polar opposite of my views, were the two biggest factors for getting as close to the truth, or the clearest picture of the issue that I could hope for, and definitely enough to make an informed opinion on the subject. Most importantly though, it humanized those with starkly different views than mine, I might still staunchly disagree with them, but I at least saw how they came to hold such views, and most often they reached those views, from a place of good, and a sense of what they thought was right. So instead of seeing certain people as ignorant or evil monsters filled with hate, I started seeing many of them simply as humans, misguided from my point of view, but still humans. And since then have made several good friendships with people who 5yrs ago, I probably wouldn't have given them the time of day if ya paid me.
So all that was to say, I agree with you to a point, and while I'm pretty far left leaning, I realize our side has lots of issues too, but I also get frustrated with the narrative, at least here in the U.S., "well the extremes on both sides are bad, people just need to come together". First off the U.S. has no political left, but more importantly, I think two things can be true at once, that both sides have issues, but that one side is easily more toxic and full of rage and hate than the other. I honestly didn't watch long enough to see what you had to say about the song, because music is objective for the most part, I know there's music I like that others think is complete garbage, I don't even care that most of my favorite reactors did this track, what upsets me is how many of them just gushed over it and praised not just how good the song was, when objective or not, it's mediocre at best, but that none of them called out the fact, that there are few "facts" in a track with that same name. Or that they don't call out the obvious transphobia, and hatred, or the fact that Ben has a very lucrative career from being a divisive trans/gay-phobe racist far right talking head. Not even that I expect them to call it out, but to just glaze over it, like he's just a normal friendly celebrity who has a cooking show or something.
I guess that's the other reason why I didn't want to watch any more of the video, and why I don't view this reaction much at all with other reactors I like. I mean Tom's whole gimmick has been right wing dog whistle type rhetoric from the start, but in the last year or so, it's become downright hate filled, far right, promoting literal violence, type rhetoric in every song. I mean look at this song, "I don't care about your feelings" I mean how you supposed to meet someone halfway and have a civil conversation with someone like that, and Tom has a pretty big platform and a lot of young minds hanging on every word he regurgitates, that is why I get frustrated by Tom and others like him. Anyway, there's my two cents, I probably owe ya much more for the therapy session..lol, take care! ✌️💚
I’ve listened to numerous reactions to this rap tune for the reactor’s analysis. You are so spot on! Let’s listen to other’s perspectives, as there can be some true nuggets of knowledge.
Loved your intro comments--
This was a very well thought reaction, new sub💕 you might find The System or Brainwashed Tom Macdonald interesting, he has a great way of pointing out how we are all stuck in a position where those in charge are pushing to polarize everything.
I was raised not to care about other people’s feelings when they are been hateful towards me
12:23 right, people will say that they are just saying the truth while omitting many of the inconvenient facts and sometimes just stating some silly opinion, without even having any truth. And they’re doing it just to be obnoxious and tear people down, on the other extreme.
Some people shouting isms, other people, shouting snowflakes, but they’re both shouting. The words and impact may be different, but the behavior is the same.
It’s a lot easier to just tune out of your own life and your own problems and reality in general and get mad at something else that seems far away.
I think that’s why people are so preoccupied with things like presidential elections when really, they have such little impact most of the time, and everybody already has their minds made up. Just foaming at the mouth for things to distract them from all the problems and shortcomings they have procrastinated with and deny, but are real.
At the end of the day, you can’t often logic someone out of a place that they didn’t logic into.
You would hope that in light of new evidence, the new evidence could change what people believe, despite their pre-suppositions of an idea. But that’s such a hard thing for most people.
The very act of taking accountability, or changing your mind on something, is admitting that a previous version of you was essentially dumb or naïve to some extent because otherwise, you wouldn’t have been wrong.
People sink cost into things and ideas and continue to sync cost having sunk that cost as the fallacy goes, because they’re so deep in already. It could be any kind of idea that they have about the world. It could be a physical thing, or a person that they’ve sunk the cost into. And they’re just not willing to see it any other way because they would rather feel right then do right.
It’s OK to be a hypocrite, when you are consistently, killing part of yourself, that you are critical against.
Our dumb ideas need to die so that the good ones can win and we can progress . That’s true of us at an individual level, and it’s true of us as a small community level, and it’s true of us at a national level.
The best people for the job need to get the job. The best ideas need to win out. Because anything short of that is a disaster.
It’s bizarre watching all of these teenagers and even adults and sometimes especially adults behaving so much more immature than my six-year-old kid who might pushback a little, but is willing to admit fairly quickly when they did something wrong and they know it without question.
I feel bad for the people out there who have just spent their lives finding inventive ways to tell themselves that everybody else is the problem and it’s not their fault at any level.
A good reaction Tim Bowman Jr & Kim Burrell - Clark Sisters Tribute
First off, appreciate your point of view. I resonate a lot with it.
8:23 right. It’s a multi party problem, right? Like who’s at fault for making crappy video games ultimately, the developers who know they are going to make cash off of a predatory game where the people who keep on buying the games?
In my opinion, it’s both of those parties. People consuming the thing and people supply the thing create this problem together
That the culture and whatnot is so dominated by these ideas is a reflection on our culture and it is what it is. Very unfortunate.
With that said, just the funniness and the rejection of those things in this particular song is also what it is. And so you have good, strong, valuable behavior, and it’s just kind of up to you to gravitate towards it, and choose it for yourself if you want to have positive outcomes.
Tom and Ben are just saying what everyone else is thinking and are afraid to admit!!! They are not hypocritical at all.
Well, not what everyone else is thinking. But a lot for sure. That's the beauty of it though. You can agree with them or you could not. The point is that we have to coexist with people we do and don't agree with. It's the people that expect to live in a world where everyone agrees with them that are the real issue. I don't know how we've got to that point as a species. What an insanely delusional expectation
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel I don't care if there are differences of opinion, it's quite hypocritical that people know what he says is true and then they attack without any logic...
@@Justice-e5k what makes you assume they know it's true? Just because you beleive it's true doesn't mean everyone else secretly does too. Is that just wishful thinking?
It sounds like you're actually one of the people that expects everyone to agree with you
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel I don't care if there are differences of opinion, If their opinions are against why don't they know how to explain them and just get angry and curse without any sense that's what I meant.
@user-hv7rq5zn3x I don't know who you're talking about brother. There are all sorts of people who will respond in all sorts of ways. Just look at this comment section. Theres a huge variety of responses. Some angry, some balanced, some indifferent, some pro. 🤷🏻♂️. Try not to let just one type of person piss you off so much

I’d submit “hot girl” privilege is stronger than any other so-called privilege.
Hmm 🤔 never thought about that but I think you are right.They get away with everything because of their gender and looks.
Wow. A lot of words for what is basically a total troll on the music industry.
I'm 70 yrs old. Until this song didn't like rap. Reason, to vulgar for my taste in music. Only song of rap I have downloaded. Greatest troll of all time lol
Just stumbled across your channel I like you
There is probably not one person on the planet I agree with 100%. Moderation seems to no longer exist and as always offence it "taken" not "given" in most cases. Some seem to have lost the ability to take opposing facts toss them around in their brains, percolate them and come to with their own opinion. I hope they are actually the minority. Your commentary is great and I enjoyed it.
Absolutely! And brilliantly put

Thank you sir 🙏🏼
We have a far right Conservative party being pushed further to the right to compete with far right pressure groups like the Brexit party,reform UK .not every right wing voter is racist homophobic but right wing, homophobic, racist support the , Brexit, Conservative party and reform , UK.
This is not true -used to think like this as a Classical Liberal but though I am still a Classical Liberal we are not welcome on the left-now Social Democrats just like the 3rd Reich-kindly do further research Mita Kola 👵🏽✌🏾✨💚✨
well, the Conservative party is pretty left wing. Every social program is a left wing endeavour. Being pro-NHS, the biggest social program ever enacted on this planet, makes you left wing irrelevant of every other thing you may do.
The rest of your nonsense was.....nonsense. Brexit is a 68%-by-constituency landslide of an idea. It's the most popular idea voted on since 1605. If you think 68% of the country is far right, the Bell curve would mean that 99.99% are right wing. And if that was true we wouldn't have an NHS now would we.
Also, every single person supporting LGBT is ANTI-LGB. If you are anti LGB you can very swiftly and correctly be described as homophobic.
If you are a BLM supporter you are a RACIST.
Tell me, have you come across any LGBT or BLM messaging anywhere in the last 5 years? Were those places all "far right" ? No, they were all mainstream left-leaning institutions like both main parties, the BBC, the Police, all schools and universities. Every major HR department in the country.....
smh.
Lmao did TH-cam tell u to say all that lmao
Why would youtube tell me what to say? 😂
Bro, your commentary is a tad bit late.....#1 already!
I don’t need to tell you how much I side with your opening statement. We’ve both changed on our journeys, and this song is just another truth statement that will get twisted by those who don’t agree
Not sure what’s up with your likes but you had 335 likes but when I liked it your video dropped to 332 likes real time. Strange 4 people changed their votes in that same second…. I agree with your message Homie.
That's weird. Thanks for watching though brother. Appreciate you 👊🏼
Toxic accountability? No such thing.
Hearing someone tell you to be accountable may feel bad, but your feelings don't make their comment wrong or toxic. I don't think you actually listened to the robins seminar or this song
You missed what I was saying completely
My feelings had nothing to do with it. It was a post where I took full accountability. The 'toxic' part was that they were so blinded by their belief in taking accountability that a lack of it is all they could see, even when it was actually there (I wrote 2 paragraphs dedicated to it). I thought I made that super clear
Hi Charlie. I found you this morning and liked and subscribed to you. Would you listen to a couple of more Tom Macdonald songs/videos? He did one with Dax called Blame the Rappers. I think you will like it. Also a video called Castles and his newest songs called Superman and an old one called My Fans. Thank you Charlie. I would appreciate it so much. I'll check back with you. #HOG4LIFE
Not sure what you are talking about re your post being misread; but I question why you are asking a bunch of complete strangers for advice as you seemed to imply?
As I grew up, I was taught to listen to people I respect and talk to them for advice, not a bunch of strangers. May as well ask people in the supermarket que if they think you have made the correct choice, or where to move forward from where you are. Strangers have their own agendas in mind, not yours (I am trying to be genuine here, but I too am a stranger...)
I like his courage in going against the grain and trying to bring some common sense back into music. Throughout history there have been people who stood up for what they believe. Some have been a catalyst for societal change by causing others to reassess their priorities and values. Also by encouraging discussion. I wonder if that is what we are seeing here? I think his music will last the test of time, but only time will tell.
Edited to add: The original interview Ben Shapiro did with Tom is an interesting listen. It showcases the source of the collaboration.
I asked because that group is full of highly motivated and successful people that always have incredible advice. That's why
Also for what I was asking advice on it was an appropriate place to ask. It was basically a querie about elements of entrepreneurship. The group is full of successful entrepreneurs.....
Sometimes "strangers" - singly, or a "bunch of...... ." can have a viewpoint that may be food for thought, may be worth considering. E❤
So everyone that paints with a broad brush is an idiot? Kind of sounds like you are painting with a broad brush? Just kidding.
Depends what paint you're using
Sry to say, you'll be labeled far right, now.. I appreciate your ability to actually listen to others.
I'm just going to say this the fact that you have to make that statement at the very beginning of your video is not a good sign, as for the song it's a banger
God bless you my friend. Thank you for watching
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel and may Njord bring you good winds and fortune to you and your clan
Tack så mycket
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel your welcome, side had to go to google to translate swedish lmao
@sephuris5555 yeah google is to thank for my comment too 😂
Sou brasileira e durante muitos anos optei, politicamente, pela esquerda. Mas a decepção foi tamanha com o governo. Com a chegada do TH-cam, comecei a ouvir pensadores, considerados de direita. E percebi que concordava em muitos aspectos.
Hoje acho esse progressismo ocidental uma chatice. O mundo ficou cansativo e desinteressante.
E outra certeza que tenho: o ocidente está em plena decadência. Em breve será sucumbido, feito o antigo império Romano. Estou presenciando a queda da
Europa e dos EUA .
América Latina??? Coitada. Mero fantoche.
Ugh, stop apologizing for watching a song!!!!
Literally didn't even once. What are you talking about? 🙄
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel "Just because I'm watching this video guys, doesn't mean I'm right wing." Grow a pair.
Firstly, That's not an apology. Secondly, that's the exact problem that I addressed throughout the whole video. Tribalism. All I'm doing is addressing that and you're the only one pissing and moaning about it. Think you need to grow a pair my man. Open your ears for long enough to not be triggered by the tiniest part of what I said and you might learn enough to make sure you don't write silly comments like this. You COMPLETELY missed the point
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel Projection from a weak man who feels the need to explain why it's ok to watch a music video. You know what you were doing. "I'm one of the good people!"
You couldn't be further from the truth. But go off my man 🙄
Thanks for making this video so I know to never check your channel out again.
I'm not sure if you didn't go to school or if you lacked hugs as a kid, but you should probably try to be on the right side of history, which is ironically not on the right of the political spectrum.
Thanks for confirming you're one of the polarised masses I spoke of that lacks the ability to consider nuance. What makes you think your absence from my channel is important to me? 😂😂
Did you actually listen to anything I said or did you just see Ben Shapiro and think 'AHHHHGGGG RIGHT WING. He must epitomise everything I beleive about the right......' and throw your toys out of the buggy? 🙄
The amount of reactions that start with political disclaimers is pathetic.
And yet you're commenting on reactions to a song that highlights political polarisation while ensuring it continues.
No one is apologising here. It's a smoothener and clarification on possition. Something evidently necessary considering how polarised the majority of people are.
But keep behaving like a bitter bulldozer. Im afraid you're not going to start any useful conversations if you're going to get that pissed off about so little
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel Weak men create tough times. You're the problem.
@@paulborowski591 haha you're hilarious. You don't know the first thing about me.
First of all, men like me start conversations. Men like you just throw your toys out of the buggy and complain. Your heart os full of hate brother, go and do something useful
@@paulborowski591 you're exactly who I was speaking about when I raised the issue of taking an idea to too far of an extreme. In your case it's to do with sensitivity. Is it good to not be too sensitive and be exactly who you are? Absofuckinglutely
But is it useful to push it to the extreme where you can't even attempt to smooth a line between two sides? Obviously not. That's dumb. All you're doing is ensuring the 'us v them' attitude continues, and ensuring the very thing you're complaining about continues. You think you can bully and shame people into alignment? Do you even know how stupid that sounds?
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel Shame is needed. Especially to curb weakness. The polarization is amplified by people who feed into it. That's why people like you only explain away from one side of the aisle. How about not consoling anyone, and freely engaging with all content without trying to insulate yourself from Liberal backlash. Only one side of the aisle cancels people, and you're feeding them.
Clearly, you are concerned and apprehensive about reacting to this video or you would not have preempted
the potential backlash with an explanation and what it means to you. I think it is much more impressive to just react to the video without justifying it beforehand. Grow some balls.
I'm not concerned at all. If I was I wouldn't have done it. This is my channel and I'm the only gate keeper to what goes on it.
I wasn't justifying anything. I was setting up for the conversation I thought was important to have. One that the song actually ended up feeding into. If you don't like it you are so much more than welcome to not be here giving me more views and engagement. I do not care
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel I appreciate your response, however you do not know yourself and have not thought things through as evidenced by your denial to the feedback I gave you. I will believe you see the light if in future reactions, you get into it without a preemption. I knew you were originally from the left as all people I have seen who drift away from the left do exactly the same as you. I did subscribe to you, I thought you reaction was good.
I'm not in the slightest bit interested in what you think you know about me. You don't know the first thing about me.
Ironically you're actually doing exactly what I pointed out which is seeing one bit of information and thinking you can summarise a load of other stuff about me, my intentions, and my thinking. You're not as switched on a you profess. It's like you can't actually handle not knowing where I stand or what my actual beliefs are so you've got to make them up. Just because I said I was pretty left leaning at one point you think you know where abouts I stand now. I gave you nothing and you're still trying to place me. Focus on the conversation instead of telling people to grow balls and making up stuff about them. Your need to catagorise and pigeonhole people is pretty primative
@ThaiChinaMalay also, your suggestion that I don't know myself unless I take your advice is mind bogglingly arrogant and self important 😂
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel Chuckle... no need to say the obvious, of course you are not in the slightest bit interested in my feedback. It is painfully clear that you are a leftist pretending to be something you are not just to get clicks and subscribers. Thanks for shining light on yourself so that the real you is in 20/20 sight. I will spread the word as to what you really are.
