Dude that was fuckin awesome 🤘🏼💯

My man had a rap battle with himself, what a legend

Tom MacDonald has saved me from suicide and helped me through drug addiction and has helped me stay clean

Who is listening in 2024?

"I'm the darkness" "I have night vision!" That part hit me hard. He can't remove the darkness, but at least he can navigate it.

I was scrolling through the comments and everyone is talking about how great the song is but can we take a second to respect that Nova killed it on this video production Hollywood level hype piece done by 1 woman

I'm a recovering alcoholic. I put this song on every morning to motivate myself to fight for myself. I can rap the whole song! It's my life's tough, get a helmet song. It's my Rocky Balboa song. It's my Till I Collapse anthem.

I am a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. Been clean 24 years and this song produced tears. Thank you for what your doing. Keep on keeping on.

As a veteran with PTSD from overseas, this track made me feel like someone else goes through this inner dialogue of two opposing mind sets. I'm glad I'm not alone

This song is my new personal anthem. To quit smoking cigarettes, weed. To lose weight. To be better and accomplish more in my career. To be the best me I can be. Thanks Tom.

"I'll be the greatest as long as the sky's blue" That line was 🔥🔥🔥

I am a retired Corrections Officer and I have dealt with many people with Mental Health issues. This is a great rendition of what it's like to go through withdrawals. The video enhances the experience and draws the observer right into it. It allows us to share your pain. It takes an artist to make another feel with your art. Much credit most go to you, and your PIC Nova. This is right up there with Pink Floyd's "The Wall". Damn it good to see high intelligence come pack to music. I love the follow ups "Let Me Go" and finally "Stronger Version". I have a couple of recommendations for you: Frank Zappa - "I am the Slime" and Harry Chapin - "There Only Was One Choice". May God Bless you on your journey and keep following your heart. Bruce Hill

This legend just had a rap battle with his demons and fucking won. King

I'm a older women who accidentally found this rapper. Rappers normally aren't my kind of music, but he is amazing. His messages are to the core of many of Americans. He speaks whats the truth for many.

I've only been listening to him for a day but already I'm 💯 percent hooked

47 days sober as of today from my own addictions.. ❤ i just wanna say from everyone who is taking it day by day, THANK YOU FOR THIS SONG. ❤

Hello, I'm Shawn... I'm an alcoholic. I found this vid after hearing Fake Woke on the Glenn Beck show. Became an instant fan even being over 50 and hating rap music. Spent the last three days watching your vid's and reactions in my off time. One girl posted in the comments about this song and I checked it out...... Damn, you hit the nail on the head about addiction. Thank you Tom for making this. I now have a Fight Song I can get behind and I hope others will also.

For anyone who doesn't suffer from it... this is what depression, anxiety, addiction, and an imbalance of self esteem feels like on the constant. This was amazing!

I never thought a rap song would make me cry. I’m not even a rap fan. Thank you I really needed this you lifted me from a two year slump. Thank you for reminding me who I am and to fight those bad thoughts.

This man is why you should never judge a book by its cover.

Everyone talking bout how fire his lyrics are which they are. But can we talk about how fire Nova's editing skills are. Those split screen of him going back and forth are beautiful. Mad props to Nova for bringing these videos to life.

I’m almost 3 years clean, and as a recovering addict, I FELT ALL OF THAT! Amazing 🔥🔥🔥

Has anyone else noticed Tom's inner demon whispering "best NEVER!" Psychology and wordplay? I'm in!

Commented on this earlier but since then I've started therapy and learned about the damage from childhood I had and didn't realize how it created the "voices" he's portraying in this song. Anybody that's had any trauma in their past or present I encourage and pray you start your journey of healing today you won't regret it.

I'm an evangelical Christian and I'm speechless. This was deep. I might have to watch this a few more times to really understand what I just watched. This young man is a rare talent for real. No pretense, no foolery, no fakeness.

Can we all just appreciate that Tom is the first rapper ever to bring together young and old, and people from every race, creed, religion, and background?

Rap is not my thing but my husband loved it. I’ve just binged several of your song and you have converted me, he would be so proud. Your lyrics have depth that comes from deep within your soul. This song in particular has really touched me because on the 30th March 2024 it will be one year since my husband of 38 years lost the battle with his demons and committed suicide. Thank you for sharing your darkest hour 💜🇦🇺

I'm crying my eyes out. I feel this so much for a different issue in my life. My youngest son passed away from a rare neurological degenerative disorder. As a mom with a medical background, I couldn't save him. Lost me for years. Fight it everyday.Wanted to die so bad, asking God why I am I still here. Perfect timing (God has perfect timing) I found "Tom Macdonald ", stopped in my tracks when cleaning house thos incredible voice came on UKposts, that person was "Tom Macdonald ", a fan and HOGfam4ever. Thank you all for accepting me as family God bless "Tom" & "Nova"

5 years clean of heroin today. Thank you Tom for all your music. Rap battling your addiction is some epic stuff my dude. Much love and remember we do recover yall

Demon: "I'm the darkness!" Tom: "I have night vision" Tom: 1 Demon: -1000

I'm a veteran with PTSD and I can relate to this song strongly. I've always been told that I wouldn't amount to anything. Keep putting out excellent content. Yall have my support

this is one of the best Rap video's of all time, and will go down like that

I'm a 54 yr old wife and mother. Probably not the demographic he intended to reach, but this man's words are absolutely amazing. With a long history in Al-Anon and around the rooms of recovery, this song actually gave me chills. I've watched several of his videos and all have spoken to me. This one really felt personal. He is one I will absolutely encourage my teenage son to hear!

This isn't just lyrics. This is feelings straight from the heart

I love the song. I also like the concept for the video. The visual representation of two sides of your mind fighting with each other.

Happy Birthday to my son, a beautiful soul, I sent this song to and we so talked over, he died, Dec4, 2022….God please save others🙏🏻

"I am the darkness" "I have night vision" Holy shit. That was more powerful than most whole songs I've heard.

almost 49 yr old former addict here. 1 heart attack, 4 od's, 2 trips over and back. Cocaine and meth are hella drugs. this song is on point about demons and how big they can be... No demon is bigger than a person who's decided they've had enough and find their worth. Truly diggin what you do, Tom. Thank you...

As a recovering addict i can affirm he nailed the demon aspect of the disease.

The creativity level is unmatchable!! Haven't seen anything unique like this in ages!

Tom just battle-rapped with his own demons. And crushed them. Outstanding song, and props to Nova for the ridiculous editing.

Jesus Christ. Every time I think “there’s no way he can top this one” you prove me wrong and I love it!! Pure GOLD. 🤯

Why am I just seeing this now?? Wow! I actually can’t wait to show this to my daughter when she gets out of prison in a couple of months. I’m hoping this will be a source of inspiration and encouragement for her. Sometimes you see things just at the right times I guess.

WOW! Nova, this is amazing videography ! Tom, as far as I'm concerned, you are THE BEST rapper EVER! Love the inspirational messages you put in all your songs ❤️ You kids are a great team! Keep 'em coming! We are listening and watching 🥰

Can’t expose a man who has the balls to do it himself. # Respect

it is amazing that this song isnt even about him being the best rapper or actually thinking he is. it is about him fighting his inner demons and supporting himself with positive thoughts and drawing on his own inspiration to be better.

I got goosebumps listening to this. The way you portray mental health is so real and authentic. I really respect you for being vulnerable in the midst of you making It clear where you stand on all of today's madness. Respect brother!

As a recovering alcoholic this video means more than you know. Thank you, Tom.

This song really shows how the worst enemy we will face is our self

He isn't the next Dr. Dre, or the next Eminem, or anyone else, because he is the FIRST Tom MacDonald. Truly one of the greats, and deserves to be recognized as such.

Its amazing how you and your music came into my life. I am a 42 year old custodian. While cleaning up a classroom this song came on my headphones while listening to pandora. As my name is Thomas as well, it really scared me, but also got my attention. as i sat down at a students desk i listened to the lyrics of this wonderful song. I played it over and over. During this time of my life, i was headed towards divorce, neglecting my kids and dealing with my own demon. Even after a year of week to week therapy, nothing was sticking till this song literaly called my name. Since that night, i have turned almost everything in my life around. I have even discussed your music in therapy and how it has changed my outlook on my situations. Thank you from one Thomas to another.

Tom and Nova created a great song and video with emotional piece❤

Dude, your helping my wife through alcoholism with this song, because you're showing she's stronger than her demons..I know it's about rap, but it's showing her personal strength..thanks man

I’ve never heard this guy until today. And I’ve gone through I can’t even count how many of his videos. This dude is real, and it’s amazing to see. Just added another fan!

Wow!!!!!! I watched this 5xs in a Row and I've never had a rap video bring tears to my eyes. This is BEYOND BRAVE, POWERFUL AND INCREDIBLE! Tom you just earned a new 53 yr old white female FAN!! BEST RAPPER EVER!!!

Tom, I just want you to know that I admire you for saying what goes through all our minds. You show your strength through you perseverance. Keep pushing, people deserve a better world and truth is the path. We are behind you.

The fact that he does all this shit by himself, like make his own beats, writes his own songs, and his girl makes the videos....how is he not known to be the best rapper? My boy is underrated 🤌🏽

"I AM THE DARKNESS" "oh yeah ? ive got night vision " bruh thats litterally the best comeback ive ever heard

I'm a 41 year old white man thats a disabled Veteran....that ALSO has and is going through very hard addictions/depression/disappointments in the last few years! I normally couldn't care less about these days rap and "woke crap"......but this guy's songs really do speak to me! It's nice to hear that there are a few good thinkers left👍

This video was dropped 3 years ago but I need to thank you for this song. I've struggled with depression for years and this is exactly what fighting with it is like for me. Thank you so much for showing me that I'm not alone in the fight.

This isn’t ego, or narcissism, but genuine self building confidence. This is something everyone should emulate. Thank you, Tom! I’m gonna start singing this to myself when depression hits me really hard.

I am a 71 year old English white man who can’t stand rap until now this boy is great, sitting at home with the Virus raging out side listening to all you recordings thanks for the rap.I don’t know if that’s the right way to say it but thanks for the truth.

This is still my favorite song!!!

This was moving, and I felt that, U SLAYED IT.

"I'm the darkness" "Yeah, i got night vision" *Evil left the chat*

I'm not a rapper, but the emotion in this song as a Veteran with PTSD and alcohol problems hits home on a personal note. Love you Tom

Tom, You are DOPE AF and THE BEST RAPPER EVER!!!! Never stop spitting FACTS!!!

Man, everytime i feel depressed, i come back here and HOG saves me again. THANK YOU!

Not a rap fan. Went down this rabbit hole after snowflakes. this guy is the most honest and vulnerable artist I've seen ever! Friggin brilliant and he will impact lives not just the industry! Keep at it and stay brave Tom Macdonald! Prays for you great man!

I’m shocked he still alive This guy raps solid facts! We all know most artist sold their souls

Love the video. Reminds me of my struggle with alcohol. Been sober a year

This song has proven to be one of mu favs. This one just speaks to me and my fails and the one big win. I ain't clean far from it but I did quit something I still think about everyday. Slept every night for 3 years now. Best ever...

Nova is a fucking beast with her editing and producing

I may be a metalhead but finding Tom was the best thing, Tom is one of the few rappers that I'd suggest Metalheads try

Ooohhh 😮😮DAMN 8yrs sober it hits us in recovery differently ❤❤

As someone who never learned how to make friends and have healthy relationships, chose smack and people around it, and thought that those that kept coming around were "homies", your music speaks directly to the issues I deal with. I'm glad to not be alone. Thank you for giving us this therapy..❤ Tom for ruler of the World

I’m pissed off that I’m just now finding out about this guy. I’m even more pissed off that I’ll never be able to experience the genius that is Tom MacDonald for the very first time ever again. Seriously, Tom MacDonald and NF are my favorite rappers of all time.

Doesn’t matter how many times I watch it. It blows my mind every time.

Yep i agree your the best , So talented

No tom your not Eminem, your Better, and you have what he doesn't have an thats range. 🔥

“ I am the darkness” “Yeah, I got night vision” That’s the dopest thing I’ve ever heard.

Favorite line: Demon: I'm the darkness Tom: I got night vision Me: damn you tell him Tom

I love this... keep those demons at bay... they will never leave but we cannot let them win

This is a masterpiece on multiple levels

This is probably the most real "rap" I've heard in a minute, very deep and extremely clever. This guy understands the concept of bars then adds extra layers. I'm sold.

Demon: “I am the darkness” Tom: “yeah, I got night vision” 💪🏼

You’re not just a rapper. You’re the best artist in todays times. You blow away anyone making music and videos currently. .

Fuck me, as a 50 year old guy thats been listening to rap since 1980s, I havent felt this much emotion over a record for years. Love it. And the video is amazing.

After 10 years clean I was starting to get the urges back, then you dropped this masterpiece. I'm not "the best rapper ever" but you reminded that no matter what the demons say, I'm the best me ever and I just want you to know that you sharing your fight helps me in my fight. Love you homie, never quit doing what you do.

People gotta realise, Tom spits truth a lot so in this he's putting out that he is fighting his demons and struggling along like many of us do... Keep Fighting TM, you got this 👊🏻

This is a very interesting duel with yourself. So many truths here. Keep going Tom! You're putting out there, getting ppls attention.

Its real cool to come back to this song two years later and see all the progress and how much your industry's grown outside of the usual status quo. Keep revolutionizing it man.

“I’m the darkness” “I have night vision” This man is going places

Nova doesn't get near enough credit for her work on these videos. She takes his incredible lyrics and tells the story in such a powerful way. This duo is doing what entire production teams can't.

full talent on display!

I see this as a song about balancing your light and dark sides and keeping the bad side in check. Both sides agreed on the goal, but his dark side wanted him to take a different path. I caught that when he said, "I kicked the devil out, but it was you who let the demons in." So Powerful!!

I've been depressed almost all my life he made me feel like a giant compared to my demons and confident

The anthem for anybody who struggles with arguing with their inner demons.

Tom you are amazing! I’m a 63 year old white male who’s been married for 36 years to a 56 year old white female. Not exactly what you would expect. I hated rap until now. We blast your songs on EVERYTHING! The house, the garage, the sand rail…EVERYTHING! I have 4 kids 17 to 33. A couple of them have demons they are battling. I will be sending this particular song to them. Thanks for what you’re doing!

He is not a goat. He is the BEST RAPPER EVER. .He is the realest i ever saw
