I enjoy you enjoying my videos.

First guy I've seen that not only catches the bars but is hella intelligent about them and what he talks about

Tom and Nova are not just creative, they are very intelligent. I fear most of these bars are going right overthe heads of those who need to hear them most.

Seriously, I’m actually becoming a fan of yours. I’ve watched this reaction video probably 10 times. Context: I’m a white, 52 year old housewife. I’m not generally a rap fan, I just discovered Tom MacDonald a few months ago. I’m a HUGE fan of good writing, deeper meaning and being able to “see” what someone is trying to express. I have two teenagers that have no interest in viewing what I find crazy cool. My husband does, but he might not always have the energy. With you, I feel a kindred spirit. Like, when you want to show something to someone hella smart that will appreciate nuance and imagery, but you don’t have an IRL friend like that? I have you. 😂 I appreciate your perspective, intelligence, pure gut reactions, passion and the ability you have to connect with a wide audience. I’m actually discovering new artists through your videos and that’s great too. Keep up the great work!

Marcus : "Chill for a second. Can I get through more than 2 bars?" Tom: "no."

Love how he started out not liking Tom and now you can tell he's a fan 😂

I'm a country boy from the Appalachian mountains, and I'd love to sit around a bonfire, have a few beers, and great conversation with you brother

You’re by far the best reactor. You’re not annoying, you’re open minded and you provide logical feedback. Great job!

"You can't big bad wolf this shit" Is probably the best comment I've ever heard on this song. 🤣

I like remembering this is also the guy who wrote "Buttholes" 😅 This guy is a real talent.

My favorite part of this is he starts with I built this house then he creates the foundation then after mentioning his fans he changes it to WE built this house. Never seen a artist that has so much love for his fans that is why we all HOG4LIFE

No you didnt catch the best one😂😂 He first said "i build this house". And after the verse about building the house and including his fans his says "WE build this house" You have too stay awake with this dude😂😂 Btw, i want your intro to be like you imitating the flag of bodyparts, that killed me😂😂😂😂

I have so much respect for how he starts with; "I" built this house" Then, switches to "WE" built this house... #HangOverGang!

🤣🤣I'm under my blanket tryin' not to wake my hubs & you start flappin' in the wind like a body-part flag! 🏴😭🏴🤣

I can’t help but watch each of Tom’s videos maybe a dozen times. Ordinarily I’m not much of a ‘rap fan’ but once in a while a song hooks you no matter what ‘genre’ it’s supposed to be in. This kid amazes me. The lyrics, the imagery, there is SO much meaning built into these songs. That’s one part of it. Then there is this… these are so cinematic I doubt it’s wrong to think of these like we would a movie. They dreamt this up, they wrote it, they (I imagine) storyboarded it, the designed it, the set it, they lit it, they mic’d it, they performed it, they filmed it, they edited it, they mixed it, they released if - just them. A guy and his girl. (Romantic as hell, but….) Who in this day and age can do that?!? It feels as if this is somehow beyond talent. This is the sort of creative talent that people study in universities hundreds of years later. THAT is the feeling I get listening / watching his content. Views can’t be enough. Listening and watching, can’t be enough. Mind blown. I can’t thank Tom enough, mainly because there’s something in this that everyone of us recognizes & feels a familiarity in. Flawdzilla… thank YOU, man. 👏🏼👍🏼

Very few musicians give me chills when I listen to their music, Tom is one of them.

“Fate whispers to the warrior, ‘You cannot withstand the storm.’ The warrior whispers back, ‘I am the storm.’” Tom is the Warrior and he inspires us to be one too. #HOG

The world is indeed "predictively ignorant". I'm grateful for people who think. It's why I love the #HOGfam - bunch of genuinely brainy peeps! ❤️

Your reactions help me to understand Tom‘s songs even better. I miss so much when I listen to his song as I am so engrossed in the visuals and his bars go so fast. Although some may complain you pause too much, it really helps me to understand each section better. It makes me love you and Tom even more. Your interpretations are so intelligent, I am hopeful for the future generations.

As a HOG member l really like how you made the 3 Little Pigs reference. That was clever.

Your face when he was on that flag scheme was priceless, I knew you were going to catch it first take. You may be one of the only people reacting that fully understands the intent behind Tom's pen. You are consistently on point. Great reaction bro, thanks!

When he changed to WE build this house❤

This is one of those songs you don’t want to end

I’ve always been huge rap fan. More specifically, I’ve been borderline obsessed with lyricists, the dudes that see it as more than music, more than art, but as a true craft. I used to spend a ton of my free time going down rabbit holes of undiscovered or underrated gems in hip-hop, and because of that I was lucky enough to discover dudes like Hopsin, Joyner, and Tom very early on. But when I first heard this song, I was literally speechless and got goosebumps, the way he flips everything and spits straight bars while painting a picture of him building “this house” was mind blowing to me

Tom is a bridge for all I'm a 55 yr old white woman who adores your reactions. Tom built this bridge for me to watch you through his music. That's his talent.peace and love to all, # H.O.G

You can't big bad wolf this shit... dude that was fire!

Best damn reaction 🤣😂 I LOVE when other's actually see Tom for who he is and appreciates his epic lyrics and metaphors. Lyrical genius ❤️❤️

Your breakdowns make my skull muscle feel good..

I have never smiled so much and gotten goosebumps when watching a reaction video. You are by far the happiest, funniest and pure reaction channel Ive ever seen. Thank you

Dressed all in red. Flawdzilla is Santa Pause.

It’s really cool seeing your progression from being indifferent about Tom to apart of the HOG. It really represents a huge demographic of people right now and what happens when you do some research. Welcome to #realmusic 🙏🏼

Tom is a true artist not a rapper, it amazes me how he's so good at drawing an image in your head like he does. True artist.

My favorite line is "Heaven's open when the bars are closed." Meaning he will spit his bars till the end and Heaven opens it's doors to him.

this flawdzilla is flawless fuckin from 0 to 17k subs in no time

“I’m gonna pause the song I like to talk. Hopefully that’s why y’all are here.” ☠️😂

"He has the worst voice" made me die laughing 🤣🤣

The "Lies, I gonna pause a lot" killed me

Actually, Tom did make a song/video called,”I’m Sorry”. It’s in my top 5 of his songs.

Omfg 13:47 - 14:45 are by far my reasons for watching you on repeat. The honesty of seeing you experience this song 🎧 is so badass! I love it. I was recently diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia and then with COPD - having experiences that feel shared is pretty awesome to me. What I mean is… Those bars made my hair stand up too!!! Keep it up! FYI - hell yeah I watch your videos to hear what you have to say! I’ve gone through A LOT of them since I found you. Thanks for being brave enough to expose yourself to critics. ✌️

Like Thomas Edison said, "I didn't fail 1000 times at making the light bulb, I found 1000 ways that didn't work" but what he learned in those attempts taught him what he needed to know to progress and succeed, it's all about perspective

The haters aren't intelligent enough to understand the message. They are probably mumble rap fans...no brain needed. You are an extremely insightful and intelligent man who listens to the words in their entirety. Not selectivity waiting for triggering words and basing your judgment on that. The world literally scares the shit out of me the last 5 years. I'm veering from the point. Great reaction you have a quick ear and mind keep up the good work. 😁🖤🔥🎶

Officer Tatum had Tom on his show right after Church was dropped. You can get a lot of his background from that. It was a great interview and they had a great chemistry. It didn't seem like an interview instead it just felt like 2 new friends. I love your reactions 🔥❤ #HOG4LIFE #HOG4EVA

A year later, and I still smile watching you get into this song!! Especially knowing how the journey has gone!

This song is incredibly underrated... My second, possibly 3rd favorite song of his

Hang On by Tom MacDonald is deep bro. It hits hard for a lot of people that suffer with what he is speaking on.

"Famous" is the song that in MY mind sealed Tom as a true artist. It's in my top 5 Tom songs. I've tried to pick a favorite ONE and just can't!

My brain is always 10 steps ahead of itself.. a shell of itself everyday while the smart part of my brain is trying to dig its way out of this neverending hell.

The great mind of a reactor+Great mind of an artist...Brother, I'm speechless. Very much appreciate your great content!

When you started waving your arms like the flag, oh I lost it!

Flawdzilla, my favorite YT reactor. I’m a 17%er and proud of it.

Whiteboy is what made me a HOG and I’m a 54 y.o white ER nurse. Those of us living in the real trenches just know, what we know, we know😎

Flawdzilla you are dope keep up the good shit. Same to you TOM. YOU ARE A GOD. THE TRUE G.O.A.T

I have been hitting a wall trying to find the right way to explain how I feel about your reactions, but I think the fact that you hit the nail on almost every one of his bars and usually catch most of the double and triple meanings has a lot to do with it. I haven't heard anyone break down the broken arm bar so concisely yet, and "The calm seas don't make a skilled sailor, so I thank the heavens for the stormy weather" is not only my favorite Tom bar ever, but something beyond that. There's a word I want, but M.S has made my mental dictionary fall apart the last couple years, but I'll take a stab at it and say that specific bar rings true on a lot of different levels, all the way to the core. I'm really glad I got to see this before I went to sleep. God bless you sir!

HangOverGang is an army. 'Gang is full of animals, you'd think my home is Noah's Ark'...

Your analysis of what is arguably the best lyricist today is DANK DOPE, bro. The panorama that he paints lyrically and your insightful breakdown of his bars have literally changed my outlook on life. Y'all make an excellent collaborative effort to wake these sheeple up. Keep up the good work. 👍👍 ✌️❤️

One of my top favorites of Tom. We need more people promoting taking a stand against cancel culture. Loving your reactions man, keep it up!

He has to be one of the best visionary storytellers it always comes through soo clear when he goes off on those tangents (Changed the comment coz everyone said the same thing 😅😅)

After you hear Tom , other rappers you hear sound watered down and baseless # H.O.G

Bro, I'm not a black guy and don't pretend to be. But I do know Hip Hop, really well. You are not wrong. Tom's pen is something serious. He has a literal way with words. Good stuff

When you did the reenactment of the tube man swaying in the wind that’s exactly what I Pictionary during the verse, except it’s actual body parts, haha I love it

Bro u pick bars apart like no other dont listen to the hate! I love ur reactions!

Flawdzilla: Tom, let me chill for a second. Me: realizing where he paused at, “uh oh”

“You can’t big bad Wolfe this bit*h” Love your commentary bro

I'll soon be 64 and I've made my share of mistakes... USA 🇺🇸 Awesome channel man...🙏💞🙏 Don't feed the trolls...🙏

Bro, you’re gonna lose your shit when you check out “I’m sorry” and “the way I am remix.” 😂.

Flawdzilla “All in favor” Me at home: Raises hand😭😭😭

your reactions, or rather insights, are the best dude and you know Tom didn't just come make a comment to look relatable when he plays on your own words from a third of the way through it...keep it up man

How tf did I NEVER connect the bars about building the house to the title of the song until watching this reaction, my god lmfao

Pretty late? Don't worry, me too. I just discovered Tom this Year and now happy to have almost all his Albums and the HOG Family is amazing tbh. Anyway, greetings from Switzerland

Here's something you may not know...Tom said that he invited his neighbors in the hood over to hear Whiteboy and see what they thought about it before he even made the video and released it. Great reaction once again man! #HOGforever 🤘💚

LMAO...loved that "LIES gunna pause a lot".. didn't see that coming.

I HAVE LOOKED AND LOOKED FOR A REACTION WHERE SOMEONE WOULD APPRECIATE THAT LAST INCREDIBLE BAR. DOWN TO HIDING THE GUNS IN THE FRIDGE. AND THEN HE CONECTED THE REST LIKE A NOVELIST. POWERFUL SONG. THANK YOU FOR YOUR REACTION. MAD RESPECT FOR YOU SIR.

Toms ability to paint a picture through his lyrics are insane. You should check out ghost stories its like 30 minutes long but they way he tells the story is like watching a movie its well worth the watch

The mental pictures he paints are phenomenal! Love your reactions! #HOG

I still remember the first time hearing, "White Boy," fire. I ditched the industry, a long time ago. He is next level, and now I get to watch you, break down and go through the experience of Tom MacDonald.

Dude, your reaction is fire and you are a poet with stories!

Sober by tom literally brought me out of my addiction

Finally someone who appreciated that whole wordplay about building his house and how his fans would plant the HOG flag in the mud as much as I did! You can just picture it in your head 🔥🔥🔥

I'm not sure why it took me so long to subscribe to you... I've been watching you for weeks now... Your responses are FIRE. Your insights... FIRE. I love Tom, and watch ALL of his brilliance, but you just add so much to the enjoyment of his genius. Thanks for doing this, thanks for being someone I need in my online life, and can take into my real life and share with people I love. FIRE.

That, to me, was your best breakdown and reaction I've watched. And I loved your analysis of his part about using a broken arm break down the walls. I never thought about it like that as many times as I have listened to that song

"Ashes" is by far my favorite song by Tom , truly shows his range as an artist

"Body parts... BODY PARTS!" and how you mimicked a flag had me weak af.

I’ve never commented on a KZfaq vid, even with all the reaction videos I watch but you are by far the truest and realist reaction Chanel I watch!

I love the fact that in this song he keeps saying words like "we" "us" etc. The fact he knows and acknowledges that this house wasn't only built by him but his fans as well speaks volumes. HOG!!!!

Great reaction. Your editing is on point. You stop the song at the right times. 9/10. 0 downvotes and over 200 upvotes is all the proof you need. Great work !!!!

I (44 year old over weight) run 3 miles a couple times a week and this is on my run list.. This song pumps me up to get through my struggles because i suck at running.

The inserted "lies, I'm going to talk a lot" made me snort laugh 😂

It's too late. This is my favorite Tom MacDonald song. Good shit man.

I laughed so hard that I almost pissed myself when you did your impression of a flag made out of body parts. Subscribed!

Dude I love your intelligence all around and passion for this music. I love Tom and I am loving your views on his music. He truly does spit facts and you calling out haters just makes me love your channel more! Keep it up.I'll be back for your next reaction. Peace!

I heard about Tom MacDonald this week on Officer Tatum's KZfaq channel. I am a 61 year old white man and I have been listening to his stuff all week! You, sir, are so much fun to watch. I loved your body parts flag imitation!

I just started watching these reaction videos today, I’ve seen channels with way more subscribers and they aren’t bad but you, by far, are the best as far as what you add to the music with your commentary. Keep being real my friend, I see greatness for you and Tom both in the years to come!

“Some thin skinned... let’s not talk about skin or you’ll get canceled” 🤣🤣🤣💀

Can’t wait for Tom to find your reactions, he’s going to love you! #HOG definitely loves you already! ❤️🔥

Im 49 yrs old i like tom and his messages!!!

I saw your reaction to this about a year ago, or so. Couldn’t comment then b/c I didn’t have an account. But I’m here now 😁. Just watched it again. Tom is such a wordsmith. He is soooo good at painting a vivid picture in your head with just words. You see exactly what he is describing. Love your reactions. I’ve checked out some of your live streams. You and Meaux are awesome together. You guys crack me up on the regular. Keep being real. It’s appreciated. Much ❤️✌🏻

Tom is a lyrical genius, tells the truth, has the guts, and I LOVE your reactions, on point, intelligent, articulate

2:17 that made my coffee go down the wrong pipe lol

As you said my brother in life..... I am a 65 year old white woman all having the same response to Tom MacDonalds wise raps. Love T MacD both of you young men, hearing each other and here I am too.

Man, that reaction from 13:55 to 4:05 is absolutely priceless. That's me all the time when I'm listening some new Tom drop. Much love you you and Tom
