- I usually try to "dance around" the subject matter in Tom MacDonald videos, but I JUST COULDN'T help myself with his new track called "Names." FIND OUT WHY...

Because this is TH-cam so I have to clarify my own words so I can stop replying the same $hit repeatedly in the comments: regarding my crucifixion comment(s): I KNOW other people besides Jesus have been crucified - my point was that I hope he isn't comparing himself TO Jesus in some way. I actually DON'T think he was, but that was the first thing that came to mind which is why I pointed out the imagery - because, you know... REACTION VIDEO.
Carry on...
I think Tom did it cause the world crucifys us with these names
@@Abnormalofficial You're still not getting it. I UNDERSTAND THE IMAGERY! That's not why I made the comment in the video.
@@InsomniacReacts my bad amazing reaction though
Here's my take regarding Tom's crucifixion imagery in this song. While you could take it as Tom seeing himself as a Jesus figure, I think the intended symbolism was more that because he often raps about takes/opinions others feel scared to publicly agree with he is standing in thier stead taking the slings and arrows of all those who are quick to attack anyone who doesn't support the mainstream narrative.
So its not like he's claiming to be holy or a prophet, just drawing a parallel around the martyr aspect of Jesus, obviously on a much smaller scale.
@@FIddlertheleper I don't think he was comparing himself to Jesus - I agree with you. The comment in the beginning of my reaction (God, I'm tired of explaining this repeatedly) was my RAW REACTION based on what that imagery triggered when I first saw it. Caught me a little off guard. I don't believe that Tom MacDonald thinks he's holy.
Because he’s awesome and speaks the truth
I like his honesty, his hard work, his attitude, and that his songs help people.
Thanks for sharing! All good qualities right there.
That was incredible
I'm a 64 years old man and this song brought tears to my eyes and as a Nation what we have become.......
I listen to Tom because he speaks truth we are the truth soldiers we live the life of facts over opinions and will die standing for it
Solid.
He's a beast
Love Tom cause every song has a message and a meaning plus truth and keeps it real I agree with most of what he says and a lot of his songs help people through there battles some we all deal with and some not everyone deals with but after loosing my uncle to cancer listening to his song cancer helped me and some family members deal with the pain so for me he is one of the best to ever do it HOG4life
He speaks the truth!
Agreed!
HOG fam here...I love Tom because he speaks the truth...something that is rare these days. He also embraces his fans...wait not fans...his FAMILY!! He isn't just in for money he actually cares and is USING HIS 1A RIGHTS!!
I agree with what he says 98% of the time. Its refreshing to see these artists that are actually saying something meaningful again in their music.
I agree..
He brings real truth in his songs.i quit listening to music a while back when I realized all the songs was the same .Glad I can finally listen to something worth listening to.#reasonilovetom
#hangovergang forever ✌🏽
LOVE the hook👍👍👍👍HOG4EVER 💯
Great reaction!! #HOG❤️
Thanks Elaine!
Lakota here- Agree 🦅☀️🦅👵🏽👋🏾
He says what others can't man is on fire all the time.
That's MOSTLY true.. He says what others WON'T. Tom certainly is on fire!
Tom speaks the truth
Ann.
Loved it👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😇🙏🏼🇺🇸🌹
Tom's like Yeah I said that!
#HOGARMY in the house.
🤘😎
Tom killed it again. This song is gonna help a lot of people. Especially young folks. #hangovergang
Already downloaded this song and I just bought that autographed track suit. This is another fire hit that aims right at the heart of today's problems. It makes me want to cry for 2 reasons ...I'm so freaking proud of Tom and his vision, his voice, and his balls, AND I'm so sad and frustrated at where the world is today.
Those sticks and stones may not break me, and I'm building my castle walls tall out of them! But damn, Dog, I'm so tired of it.
Great song! #HangOverGang
Nice!! Yeah that track suit is FIRE! ..I couldn't pull it off without looking ridiculous, but still cool though. Also I agree with your take.
Loved this reaction. … I’m subbed
Tom just dropped Sheeple a couple days ago. Why do I love Tom. He spits his truth and doesn't let others opinions shut him up. I don't agree with everything but he does make you think. He's also versatile, He has comfort songs like Castles and Scars... He also has deep songs like Sober or withdrawals. He has songs like No good dirty bastards and Best rapper ever for days you need to get pumped. Then he has fun songs like Buttholes and I'm corny. He does awesome diss songs like no response and don't look down. I could prolly go on but I think you got the point. My favourites are The System and In God we trust. Thanks for your reaction. I hope you do more Tom.
Great reaction!!!
Thank you! Much appreciated.
My life was very literally saved from the edge by Tom's song Sober. I am alive today and doing much better. As I got to know Tom more and more I learned about the man he is and it is refreshing. I have not been excited about music since the 90's and it feels good to be once again.
Thanks for sharing, Rodney!
It's a crazy world when an artist has to be the one to speak basic truth. The world is broken. #hangovergang
AGREED.
Thats why Tom is so valuable.
Love this song awesome truth tom always brings it #hog forever..
Awesome song! Great reaction! Thanks ❤️ Have a Wonderful Week! #Hangovergang #Nova #Creeksquad
Thanks Tine! Much appreciated. And you as well!
Spot on reaction brother .. H.O.G family love to you bro💯✌🏼❤️🙏
Well~ I've been HOG for years. He & Nova saved my PTSD Military ass years ago. Unconditional Love Now. Thanks for reacting. XO. 💯💕 #HOFARMY
My pleasure! And THANK YOU for your service..
tom is so based!
Well… I have arrived at the reaction channel that I didn’t know I needed. Peace and love brother, you’ve got a new sub.
Thanks Parker! Super appreciated. Tons more on the way!
HOG fam is here for it 🔥🔥🔥
Why I listen to Tom? In short: he helps, he guides.
Tom is OLD SCHOOL facts...He's original hip-hop. Pointing out our flaws....if we agree or not. At least we can start talking. That's how REAL shit gets done....talk, react, change, ACT.
I'm #hog4life because his lyrics aren't just surface trash. His lyrics are genius. He allows his fans and his haters into his life in a way very few if any do. He's relatable even if you can't relate to his specific struggle. He starts conversations that need to be had without having to worry about being cancelled. He is me, but with an army behind him. He hasn't forgotten the struggle, and he's turned it into art.
Tom speaks the truth and he's not afraid to say what needs to be said in this twisted world (Clown World) we are living in. My first Tom MacDonald song I ever heard was Whiteboy, been hangovergang ever since. #HOG
Nice! And I agree - he tells it like it is.
#HOG lololololol 😂 and you ask why I'm a fan? Great react 💗
Thanks Melody!
I listen to Tom as treatment for my Post Traumatic Stress Disorder disregulation symptoms.
Often spontaneously saying, "Thank you God for Tom MacDonald 🙏 "
Excellent! Thanks for sharing..
Love that Tom speaks his mind without fear, it doesn't hurt that I agree with a lot of what he says. I like that I can understand every word and he's a down to Earth, intelligent & genuine young man that is busting his butt to make it on his own. I don't relate to his addiction/recovery songs, but appreciate that they help those that need it. It also makes me appreciate Tom & Nova all the more.
Thanks for sharing TJ!
I’m a fan because Tom is versatile, talented, visionary, hardworking, devoted to his girlfriend, family and 4 dogs, no controversy, open and brave AND I just simply like what he puts out. HOG4EVER 💯✌️
Great answer!
Here for it and Loved it!!
#HangOverGang 🔥🤘🏼😎🤘🏼🔥
I'm Canadian... but same as American... I travelled a lot of the world (over 17 countries) by the time I was 18 and I had a new found appreciation for home. I think everyone should leave the country at least once and see what it really is like on the other side.
Canadian is similar to American, it's not the same. I agree with you though about travel.
not only are me and tom Alberta born is the first reason the second is that I agree with a lot of the statements he makes in his rhymes are fire
Hog army 🔥🔥🔥
I myself Love the hook! I also enjoyed your reaction!
Thanks! Much appreciated. And nothing wrong with disagreeing on the hook. I'm actually GLAD that most people enjoy it.
First artist I bought music from since 1990.I dislike all music since I am old now,I heard him and he spoke my truth.So now I watch every video andf enjoy watching reactors to see what they say. #hangovergang #tommacdonald #nova #Evanmorgen
always gets thumbs
The man tells it like it is awesome!!
New here to this reaction channel... I can tell you, like I tell everyone, I'm a Tom fan because I went DEEP, before he was famous, I get him, I feel him, I've been in similar places, as a Body painter (artist) his music helps me to keep going, he reminds me if you go back to his early days, KEEP going, you only fail when you give up. He keeps me going because I want to keep my art on the facts. YES, I know, I'm a Makeup artist and it's going to be a different kind of hard, but it won't be harder, it's just different. He reminds me that I CAN do this on my own. He reminds me I can keep being me and still reach my goals. I love him for that, I love him for not scared to share what a lot of us wish we could. I'm still trying to figure it out how I can do it with my own art. #HOG
I just subscribed to you, you said a lot in 1 sentence than a lot can say in 1 year.
BTW, that painting in your bg, is like a little lost penis without it's balls, I love it though, cute penis!!!
lmao.
I'm going to be looking for that on the next reaction now 🤣🤣🤣
That card got lost somewhere between 'Doesn't exists' and 'You're not white enough'... :D
lol GOOD POINT!
Why am I a fan of Tom MacDonald? I'm not a fan. I'm family. I am HOG. The trio of Tom MacDonald, Nova Rockafeller and Brandon Hart are inspirational, together and separately they struggled until they were victorious. Drugs, alcohol, anxiety, depression, asthma, poverty, homelessness... they have had to scrape and claw to get to where they are now. The simple fact that they made it isn't what inspires me. They made it into sobriety and stability, keeping each other safe, always having each other's backs.
They emerged from the darkness battle scarred and smiling, ready to take their art back into that very darkness and light they way out for others who have never felt like they mattered. I as one of those. Lost in my head because of crippling depression over rapidly declining health. I was on the edge of throwing away over a decade of Sobriety to self medicate. instead, I found comfort in the music. I found laughter. I found an army of Hang Over Gang. I'll never face another battle with my demons alone. #HOG4LIFE
That's great! I think Tom would be happy to read that..
Tom and Jordan Peterson follow each other on Twitter, or at least did until Jordan was suspended from Twitter for not using the right pronoun of a Hollywood star. #HOG UK 🇬🇧 here for it
I didn't know that, that makes sense though!
Oy Vey...... I can't help being absolutely bewildered by today's cultural. The same people that preach acceptance and equality to speak their so called truth are the very ones who go for the throat of someone else that is just trying to do the same. I feel like I'm watching an SNL skit gone horribly awry.
Great Reaction & Thank You; Oh Yea what kind is that, That Your Drinking? My Fav is Honey Wild Turkey.
Thanks Gail! Much appreciated. I was having Elijah Craig Small Batch Reserve in this video (actually NOT a favorite of mine, but someone gave it to me so.. lol)
TruthTeller Independent Artist ❤️#HOG4LIFE
I love Tom and Nova but to answer your question I am a fan because he is getting the truth out to those who are trying to be sheep.
Fair point!
My favorite line is this song is @ 5:26 Cuz that's where I sit in all this BS!!! "...call me conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat, I'm somewhere in the middle but y'all don't know what to do with that..."
Imagery = people try to crucify you for you’re beliefs. I can be wrong, I often am.. but that’s the part that stuck me the most.
Knocked it out the park again.
#HOGforlife
Why do I like Tom MacDonald... I don't know. I don't like rap/hip hop. Never have. But for some reason, ever since the day I said screw it and watched one of the Snowflake reaction videos that kept popping up in my suggestions for some unexplainable reason, I've been in love. And not just his political songs, I like almost all of them.
That's awesome!
Same for me. I've never liked rap or hip hop. It was Fake Woke that put him on my radar, and I've been following him every since.
#HANGOVERGANG4EVER!!
You should check out Tom's new video Sheeple!
the "crucifixion" imagery, for me, anyway, is him SYMBOLICALLY martyred ( i felt he was symbolically martyring himself for me, just speaking for myself here)......because he said everything we want to be said & be heard widely. the message we all, as humans, can relate to on the most basic level.
....and, respectfully, disagree about the hook --- he aleaays comes with a based message, instrumentation & visuals are always bangin, but that line "do yo thang" is what makes the song 'chef's kiss'. That's my favorite part. The way he spits it sounds R&B smooth, with a hip hop swag energy
Depends on who’s science you trust.
Well that's the thing, that's not how actual science works. The scientific method is based on using hard data to test for and either prove or disprove a theory. For example, one of the things I pointed out in this video as scientifically proven, doesn't "depend" on anything.. It has been tested / analyzed / proven with literal hard data to the extent of being an indisputable fact. Opinions and feelings have no place in science.
Insomniac, have you done Tom's - I Can't Sleep ?
In my opinion Tom Mcdonald does not get the recognition he deserves because he will spit facts.
That's understandable.. Facts aren't popular in 2022.

I have different reasons I am a Tom Macdonald fan. One is he looks very similar to my boyfriend who was a musician, but he passed away. Tom got away from alcohol he did not, and it killed him. Also, I am very into the American lifestyle, and he is defending it with all of his might. He is so to the point on calling out all of this insanity that has infiltrated our society like a cancer and he is like the chemotherapy extracting it from the body. But you have to be aware enough to open your mind and heart to hear his message.
Agreed! And sorry for your loss, Candice.
Ok, Insomniac, you've got a fan instead of just a subscriber. :D Quoting/referencing JBP and MLK Jr in one video? Awww yeee.
Great reaction, new sub here.
I'd like to see your take on Tom's song Scars. Non-political, much more personal and heartfelt.
Thanks Kurt! Happy to have you here. Thanks for the suggestion!
Because Tom makes rap like I grew up on like Ice Cube Wu-Tang NWA I grew up on rap and later in life rap went to sh*+ so I was listening to people like 5FDP and other hard rock then I found Bryson so I was mixing rap into the metal and hard rock then found Tom then Struggle and Adam Calhoun now I can literally listen to nothing but rap and get good new music on a regular
I've been waiting on my white privilege card for 48 yrs. I'm starting to think it isn't in the mail.#HangOverGang
Yeah I'm starting to get the same feeling lol
Watch brainwashed by Tom its full of facts
I am a fan of Tom macdonald because he speaks facks and because he seems like a cool guy
WHY does it bother people to SEE one being CRUCIFIED? is that NOT what is being done?
You didn't understand my point (to be fair, I didn't clarify it in the video).. I don't mind the "crucifixion" imagery, I was implying that I'd be disappointed if he were comparing himself to Jesus in some way or another, but I let that go quick in the reaction because I realized that was probably a stretch.
If you paused that much for names try reacting to his song The system. You'll be stopping every few words. The factbcounter will be spinning like an odometer at grand prix.
th-cam.com/video/AJapcOygvWc/w-d-xo.html
@@InsomniacReacts told you. Pity you didn't have the fact counter on it as I counted about 32 and that was just a cursory listen through.
No such thing as white privilege in America. There is however American privilege. If you live in the States you are blessed beyond measure.
Facts
That's very true.
I get what your saying about the imaging but Jesus wasn't the only one crucified. Also you do hear the term "crucified in thr media". I think that is what he was going for.
I agree 1000% (and I know Jesus wasn't the only person crucified lol), my point that I didn't make clear enough is just that I hope he's not comparing himself TO Jesus. Tom (and tons of other people with an honest voice) ARE persecuted daily, but as you already know, there's no replacing what Jesus went through. Overall the imagery definitely WORKS though, so I'm not mad at it.
you got it yet? loan me it please my guy
I like Tom. Samson is and will be better though
Thanks for sharing!
TOM IS USING YOUR CHANNEL 🤣🙂🤣🙂
Yeah waiting on my white privileged card also out here working 18 hour days 7 days a week and still struggling like everyone else
I asked my husband if we should get a lawn sign that says HATE LIVES HERE...just to throw ppl off.
I can't stand these ridiculous lawn signs lol
I vote "no" on the lawn sign if you're white lol. People won't know what it means and your neighbors will just automatically assume that you're "proud racists" because it's 2022 and everything's backwards.
I'm a Tom Macdonald fan because he speaks and raps nothing but the truth. Tom feels he's getting publically crucified
Jesus was not the only person crucified, 2 thieves were crucified with him. HOG 4 LIFE!! 🤟🤟👵👵
A ton of other people were crucified too, not just Jesus and 2 thieves. My point was that I hope he's not comparing himself TO Jesus.
OKAY... HEAR ME OUT. HIS SONGS ARE AMAZING - I BELIEVE HE SPEAKS NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH IN THE VIDEOS.. HOWEVER, MAYBE I AM TOO DEEP INTO MY CONSPIRACY THEORIES BUT HE SAYS ONE THING AND SYMBOLIZES ANOTHER. THE SYMBOLISM IS UNCANNY TO THE SYMBOLISM THE MASONS/ILLUMINATI USE. IN OTHER WORDS.... THE TRUTH IN PLAIN SIGHT. IDK IT'S WEIRD IM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE HIM OUT. BUT HE SAYS THE ELITES DO THIS AND THAT TO SHOW YOU THROUGH THE SYMBOLISM - BUT YET HE DOES THE SAME THING. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY .... THEY MUST TELL YOU THE TRUTH SO THEY DONT PAY THE PRICE LATER. IDK I LOVE HIS STUFF. JUST WEIRD VIBES SOMETIMES WITH THE SYMBOLISM. ALSO, SATAN IS THE RULER OF MUSIC. TOM MAKES MUSIC.... MAYBE ITS ALL PART OF THE PLAN?
OR MAYBE IM JUST TOO DEEP FOR MY OWN SANITY LOL
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. GREAT REACTS.
You need some sleep and a therapist. And why is the entire comment in caps? Glad you're enjoying the channel though! Tons more on the way.
@@InsomniacReacts 💀💀💀💀 LOL I LIKE TO TYPE IN CAPS. Sorry
I'm sorry to say I'm not a fan of Tom McDonald not because he has a bad message but because it's hard to focus on his message because of his commercialized videos and for me he's distracting from the message, guess I'm more of a Samson fan because his videos have no distractions, you hear the message loud and clear, just my opinion Tom McDonald seems more about the money whereas Samson is more about the message
"commercialized videos." As in maybe Tom MacDonald would like to COMPETE in his genre? And what's wrong with wanting to make money for your work? Look at Tom's views VS Samson's views. That's a result of the extra "commercialized" work that Tom puts into his videos. You can get a message across without standing still in front of a black sheet.
@@InsomniacReacts I don't really pay attention to views I simply gave my opinion, you asked for people to reply if they are a fan or not and why, so I gave my opinion, dorry I replied, won't make that mistake again
