    When Tom dropped Best Rapper Ever about 2 years ago, Eminem dropped a whole album on the same day, Tom held the #1 spot on iTunes for a couple of days against every track on the album, but he is really talking about being the GOAT of fully independents. #HOG UK

    Why do so many people claim that Tom only sings political songs? Tom has many songs that have nothing to do with politics. Here are some examples: Castles, No Good Bastards, Don't Look Down, White Boyz and many more.
    Mac Lethal...

    He didn't diss anybody, but the people who lived in the town he grew up in.
    EDIT: Sorry to those who already liked this but I gotta expand. Listen, brother, you reach a few ears so you can't be misrepresenting like this. He wasn't dumping on the working class. He wasn't dissing his fans. He loves his fans. The power of his fans is the only reason he can be doing what he's doing without a record label and he knows it. When he spoke about not being impressed with people living cheque to cheque he was talking about the people from his hometown who are constantly trying to tear him down. The man has enough problems with haters just hating because they're jealous, racist, or both, without having people misrepresent his words.

    Tom makes it clear that God saved him from his “grave,” and he has “faith.” He says that he isn’t the perfect Christian, and has a sinner’s past.
    Unless Tom meant it as a Double, I don’t see the “God Mode… Beast Mode” bar as a diss to EM; rewatch the video, which clearly shows his point.
    Tom literally points to Heaven when he says “God Mode” and points down to Hell when he says “Beast Mode.”
    He is saying, other rappers are doing the Devil’s work, intentionally or not, while he intentionally is doing his best to work for Good/God!
    He also says that he isn’t going to get dragged into a diss battle!

    🎵 Tom just got #1 Billboard for this song in 3 categories for digital sales INCLUDING the hip hop one!!! He can rap & NEVER disses the regular guys or fans. He was talking to the other artists talking shit. He is 💯 % the GOAT of Independent Artists not just rappers either. Listen to it again! AND go down the 🐇 hole & you will respect even more! Then after that, name another artist as versatile 🤔 This song is 🔥 #NewHOG #HOGFam

    There is a big difference between SALES and STREAMS.
    Most artist today get lots of streams, but it takes thousands if streams count as one SALE (songs or albums). Very few artists today sell much in iTunes....and Tom sells a lot in digital and physical CDs. He just got Billboard #1 this week on 2 charts.

    I was hoping you would cover this one... Mac Lethal is who he destroyed. Tom's story is quite amazing to see where he is now. If you listen to "This House" and go back to this one, this is the complete circle. This song is to address all the haters, he's like the Bruce Lee of music. He is gonna diss the haters without really dissing the haters. Can't touch Tom because Tom already achieved everything he set out to do, now it's just for the love of what he does. A lot of people think this is to also address the "Upchurch" mess, but I think this is to address people bigger than that, when Tom and Ben came out with Facts, he had some hip hop signed artist coming for him, I think this is to address all of that.
    Every time Tom drops a new song, it is at least #3 on the charts, he has beat Em on the charts a few times.

He has several non-political songs too... Castles is in my top 5 favorites from Tom.
