I’m glad I’m rewatching a bunch of your Tom reactions today. I’ve been in that dark “Self-Deletion” place and depression is not cool and not something one should pretend they have. If some has never bolted up, out of bed, at 2:00 am and paced the hallway for hours, you don’t understand what a panic attack is like. I walk the halls for hours, convinced that, if I stop moving, I will fall asleep. And, if I did fall asleep, I would never wake up again. When you know it’s not real but your mind ignores everything you know and enforces its own reality, that is a level of hell I would never wish on anyone. The meds I was prescribed, had their own side effects that were not a trade off worth making. You learn to deal with it and, if you’re as lucky as I am, you have a spouse who does what they can to understand and help you work through it. It is NOT something you can snap out of. I will never understand people who take drugs to experience the kinds of things I go through without the drugs. You all are stupid as F if you do that. Tom, suffering some of the same things, gives me strength. If he can work through, well, then so can I. #hangovergang forever 🤙🏽
Yes ! I never hear anyone else talk about how Nova and Tom always kill it with color schemes. At least once per video I have to pause and admire the artistry!!! The colors pop when they should, create mood, just overall actually adds to the videos. Great comment
You hit the nail on the head - this is why they try and shut him down, stop him, smear him and so forth - he calls this stuff out consistently. This was the song when I first got scared that they might try to cancel him in the permanent way. I still am concerned for his safety.
As someone who has bi polar depression with an explosive temper I hate battling it daily it's a never ending war in my head and I hate it but I'm still fighting. I appreciate Tom doing this song
NF is soooooooo goood so is tom, but yeah NF/Tom two of the biggest fighters we've got these days for just plain life man. Not being the hardest, not being the coolest, not fucking the most women, just straight up real life
8:34 I never heard of the term "agoraphobia" until yesterday, while googling things that I'm experiencing. Haven't left my house in years due to crippling anxiety, along with other things that has been plaguing me after I had a seizure about 7 years ago.. My little brother flipped the van right before he got to the house, on his way home from work 2 days ago. He was fine, thankfully. And although I psychologically knew he was okay, and I seemed calm, my nerves and anxiety was through the roof. Kinda had a bit of an anxiety attack later that evening, after he got back home. Room was spinning. Couldn't even talk to them, because it was hard to think, much less have a conversation.. It still kinda bothered me yesterday, and the thought of not being able to leave the house and be there when something like that happens bothered me. So I googled "anxiety won't let me leave the house," and agoraphobia came up as a result. I didn't read too much into it, because I didn't want to heighten my anxiety reading all of the bad things that can come from it.. Tried reading treatments, but it simply said treatments were various forms of therapy, exposure therapy, and/or meds. I need to try to expose myself by going outside more, which is difficult, as movement, light, and uneven ground makes me feel disoriented, which starts to trigger my anxiety... **sigh** This shit is 1,000 times harder than the opioid addiction that I kicked in my early 20's.
I love that Tom gets you talking and thinking about what's going on in your own life and in this world. My son cannot stand his music. I can't even play a song around him. He says it's too controversial for him and he just wants to vibe. It frustrates me that he doesn't see Tom for what he stands for but he sees what people that talk bad about Tom see. My son's 22 years old and I'm just hoping that he'll wake up and start seeing what's really going on around him. He's a smart young man but he really likes this mainstream hard rap
This song is what got me interested in Tom's work after RUclips suggested 'Whiteboy' I've kept listening and haven't looked back since. Can't argue with facts
This was the song that made me realize i had been sleeping on Tom. I went back & listened to the back catalog after this,& bumped everything new after it. Glad to see someone get as much from it as i did. Loved every second of it. I've lived it, too, opiate addiction, the same panic attacks u mention, going to the ER every other month w them telling me there's nothing wrong while feeling like I'm dying. I Wish it had a 3rd verse, tho.
You real bro, I had panic attacks every damn morning because of the stress of a shit job with an oppressive boss (one of those assholes who treats you like shit despite being the most valuable asset they have).
1 of toms top hooks very overlooked song. just wanted to say i may not watch as avidly as i used to but u guys r awesome and imo owe your success to your honesty and openness, allowing your audience to feel like they really know u guys. zero fakeness just passion and positivity. keep killing it. #hogaustralia
No LIE FLAWD, I SUFFER WITH LEGIT PANIC ATTACKS AND ITS EXACTLY HOW YOU DESCRIBED IT!!!! People dont get how easy it is to lean on substances to not feel like that!!!!
I have to applaud you flawd. It wasn't that long ago that I found your channel. I love watching people react to music I love and I was just skimming through reactors on one of Tom songs and I just instantly felt connected to what you were saying about the lyrics. Sometimes I feel like I can sense other people that have been through extreme hardships with drugs or alcohol no what that life is like and they come out of it stronger and smarter than ever. I was down really bad with narcotics, crack, Suboxone Etc antidepressants. I was constantly trying to find something to numb what I was feeling and you're right, these people in the music industry are promoting this stuff and glorifying it. Now that I've gotten away from all of that and I'm clean, I feel like I've really truly woke up. And I get to see things so much clearer and it's scary to see how many people are still walking around asleep
Flawd how can you only have 117 subs when you and Mo are the GOATS of podcasters. Am I missing something? I will be joining your fam once I get a job! Love you guys! Flaw you break down the songs like no other. And love your loyalty to Tom! HOG forever! And Mo you def add so much to the podcast. You Crack me up yet you know your shit.
Waking up to the fact that we are brainwashing ourselves w the shit we listen to is enlightenment. I know it was for me, shit in…shit out. Watching my teens realize it for themselves was pretty awesome. Anyway, love your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing. Mad props. 🫶🏼
Dude, don't start gatekeeping anxiety, or depression. You might get it worse than some, but you'd get anxious just from hearing the hell I've been through. Your struggle doesn't invalidate anyone else's.
This is a clear case of projection. There’s a difference between gatekeeping and differentiating anxiety disorder from normal everyday anxiety. All I did was point out the fact that culture has bred a society of people that incorrectly self diagnose & WANT mental health issues. Doctors SHOULD be doing more gatekeeping of mental health disorders rather than over-diagnosing and overprescribing meds. The statement “you may get it worse than some but you’d get anxious just from hearing the hell I’ve been through” is telling. The only person invalidating struggles is you bruv. It’s wild how people will go on the offense as soon as you speak down on the death grip big pharma has on America.
I just wish these kids would listen to what Tom and you guys are saying, and get off all the drugs and alcohol, I’m so proud of all the rappers that are supporting and promoting sobriety 👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻✊🏻❤❤❤❤HOGARMY
I gotta admit, I’ve listened to Tom for a while and skipped over this song multiple times. Until one day I heard the hook, and that got me all up in my feels. This song has been a banger in my playlist ever since. ❤🤘🏻 #hangovergang #hog4ever #flawdskwad
Absolutely love flawd couple. I am a huge tom fan and your insight into his songs and your open personal stories have helped me take action on my own alcohol addiction. I'm now in Alcoholics Anonymous. I have viewed both the flawd couple and Tom's voice on battling deamons and addiction has made me act. Thanks guys love from Australia 🇦🇺
I love Tom and I love you flawd. You have the best breakdowns of lyrics man. You amaze me sometimes how well you remember lyrics. You can tell you immerse yourself in the music and it’s awesome to see. I also appreciate your breakdowns and deciphering of lyrics, it’s a whole nother layer to the beauty of music with a message.
I may not agree with your views all the time or certain other things but the many good reasons why i come back here is because you are real and reasonable enough and you understand what rap is all about. You are starting to grow on me really. Side note: I think this song was almost shut down. I got schizophrenia, major depression through seasonal and Anxiety attacks. Its been a long road and I am functional and sane. That shadow chases me and gets me everytime but that is all the more reason to keep fighting. That is also why I like Tom too. I do not agree with him all the time either but over time he has change my mind on alot of things and talks about things I do say already. This song is on many of my main playlist. This song has a special place in my heart
@@tammycombs167 Always representing! You're a trooper! I do my best to throw 👍 in every direction & make occasional comments to show support & help the alg. Things that help keep a great community. Best to ya! 😇✌️
This to me is also one of the reasons i fucking love bands like Slipknot and Soundgarden. It wasnt just that the music is fire, its that you could tell from the lyrics they were not only NOT glorifying it(depression/suicide), they were fighting it with everything they had. I am legit alive today because of bands like them. They didnt talk about drugs to solve it they talked about mentality. One of my greatest regrets in life is NOT being able to let Chris Cornell(lead singer of Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and Audioslave) that he saved my life with his music. Maybe if he had heard that more, he would still be here with us and bringing light to so many more. I know the comment section after he killed himself was FILLED with people like me wishing they could say to his face "you saved me, thank you". Just god damn. So yes for those of us with real issues, music like this is INSPIRATIONAL. It lets you know you are not alone, and that others are fighting the same damn fight you are. I struggle with severe depression to this day. Music is STILL my savior. When i spiral to my lowest, Slipknot, Soundgarden/Audioslave and others are there to pick me back up. It's always a good thing to have music like this out there. Not glorifying a real issue, or saying "hey take pills to make it all go away" but saying yeah its a real fuckng struggle, but im dealing with it the best i can.
I will change and shorten my comment, it is a sad state that the world is in now... and you are right that it's amazing that Tom is willing to point out that this is one of (if not the biggest) problems we are facing right now.
Panic attacks SUCK!! My doc sent me to the ER one day because my heart rate was kinda crazy!! I was having trouble catching my breath, getting tunnel vision, my face going numb... I actually had an abnormal EKG, spent all day in the ER and those morons said it was an asthma attack (I don't have asthma and they did no breathing test) I was under EXTREME stress at work and my only direct coworker was terminated while I was on "vacation" picking up our daughter in California from an eating disorder "house", then driving back to Texas. It was too much!!!! After a week of tests, and the inhaler they said I needed breaking me out in hives, it was determined that I was having a full blown panic attack. Until then I had only had anxiety attacks, minor in comparison to this. I started having another one because of the inhaler and hives!!! Now I know the signals and can generally keep it from getting too bad, sometimes only with the help of my husband... he has to help get me grounded sometimes. BUT I no longer use Trazodone, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Xanax or anything else from pharma... only essential oils now. SO MUCH BETTER!!! Love watchin y'all... would be cool to run into you during our travels around the hill country some time!!
It's disgusting. I don't feel like they should be able to advertise like that. People end up diagnosing themselves with the information in the commercials and go to their doctors with a preconceived idea of the situation.
@@caiterlandson7473 Just think about the layers of corruption here. Using Pepsi as an example. First, the government locks everyone down. No one is going to movies and restaurants to buy soft drinks. But Pepsi still needs to advertise. Who's the only companies that made money during the pandemic? Pharmaceutical companies. So Pepsi goes to Phizer for advertisement funding. Which is them selling you the very poison that the drugs will "cure" you of... All while Phizer is collecting tax dollars with one hand... And collecting your personal profit for the other.
I thought I was having a heart attack. My BP was 180/120, my heart was racing, I couldn't breathe.... Was in the ED for like 5 hours, had a bunch of tests ran.... Nothing, first panic attack I ever had.
5:00 Remember when Mackelmore made a song about doctors being drug dealers? That was on the radio and to this day I wonder why he got a pass but no one else did.
8:36 That's rough bro, I'm glad you kept going and came through to a better place. Just remember - you have an audience, you have people that do care about your well being. If you need to - don't hesitate to turn on the cam and just talk to us man. If you've got some troubles - let us know. If there's some big event and you need a little help - start a go fund me. No one has much, but together, with a bunch of people chipping in what they can: we can help. Don't ever forget man - there are *thousands* of people who are willing to listen and willing to help.
I've lost over 50 friends to drug over doses here in Bradenton, Florida, alone. Most of them are from Fentanyl. It is a major epidemic that is not being dealt with
👊Reaction - Tom's mixing/lyrically the socially relevant truths in our current society, is always next level😲 and making a dope beat/music to bop and listen to, genius!. Unfortunately, like u said, we the people are never gonna hear these things in mainstream😢 Mass manipulation is the 😈's goal! Thanks! #HangOverGang
this isnt a woman bag but every girl i have dated has said they have anxiety. Out of 8 only 2 had it and after the first three i had no idea what true aniexty attacks was. The third and the last had it...my god i felt so helpless. If someone has a severe anxiety attack i suggest rubbing their back and don't talk. Just let them talk and give them it is all okay every so often. It is an internal battle that when you are on the outside you wish you could help because we do ALL HAVE ANXIETY. But we don't all have true anxiety attacks. Sorry to hear you have had that Flaw i can't relate. i get anxious but i never have it take over.
I have suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts since I was around the age of 9 to 11 years old. It's a big reason why I barely remember most of my childhood. Seeing people turn that into a trend makes me want to hit someone, and then puke, or the other way around. It's just straight up sick, disgusting but, it has become like the whole trans thing for some people. A way to get popular, I have also met quite a few people who say that they are depressed, and when I actually interact with them for a while, I see that they just made it up. It's something that is being pushed by the mainstream, and Flawds thought on how that plays into the pharma industry was very much correct. When this song dropped, it hit me like a train, like, he mentioned almost everything that needed to be said. And just from the way he sings and acts, I can see that he also seems to know what he is singing about. I just wonder, how can people play into this so much, even though it's so sick and vomit-inducing... Well, I guess it's the same story as the trans thing and most other problems in our society, propaganda.
@@tammycombs167 Thanks, also, yes it is, it's even worse than many people think. The people causing all this mess also play big roles in pretty much any large industry. They also lie to the people all the time, using politicians as mouthpieces. The wars, the poverty, the sickness and misery, it could all be avoided quite easily. IF our society were not in the hands of the most wretched people in this world, we could create a world of peace, fairness, happiness and (above all) freedom. We need to teach people how to think, not what to think. If we created a culture similar to that of the old Greeks, a culture of thinking, of pondering ideas and philosophies. Then we could truly live our best lives. But for that to work, people need to see the world as it is, people need to stop fighting our own, man vs woman, left vs right, one good heart against the other. The only ones we need to fight are the bastards that have created this whole mess. I wish you the best, may life be kind to us all.
@@haydencarn8737 You're a very interesting person. I often think I say too much because I've been told "no one likes a book"😇 but it's difficult to put things in perspective with such few words as "Fire Bad" "Ungawa". I'm seeing what you're seeing. Many of us are wide awake. Unfortunately, maybe not enough? Check out the poem "The Men Who Wanted to Be Left Alone". I think Michael J. Hurd mentioned it from an "unknown" author. I've suffered depression throughout life as most of if not all do & have thought suicide many times. My mom died in my arms on our steps last December after I carried her through the house & as the ambulance backed in the driveway, less than a month of her 2nd(forced). Our animals help keep my sanity. I stay busy working & providing for them so they can provide for me. My guard dogs, snake catching cats, my ducks, chickens, & even my fish pond. None of that will stop what is on the horizon. We can try to ignore or even take the pain away but it's happening. Right in front of our eyes. "Real eyes, realize, real lies". Sorry for the rant. I blame it on the alcohol 😇✌️
@@YTubeScandalScrambledMyHandle Firstly, I am really sorry to hear about what happened with your mother. May she rest peacefully. I am not remotely adequate when talking about this kind of thing, since I never really do it much. While I do know how to talk about certain things, with situations like this, I honestly don't know how to respond besides wishing you all the best in the world and a good future. And about that poem, it hits different. Thank you very much, I have written it down. Also, please don't apologize for your "rant". I am glad to read what people actually think. The issue with short comments is that you can often not really express what it is that you mean. So this kind of communication is very good. I should thank you for taking the time to write all this, so I appreciate the response. Now that I scrolled up and saw my comment in full... I feel like I should say that you can skip the next part if you want to. It's more about personal things than the greater issue at hand. Also, you could say I have grown up with subjects like these. My father is obsessed with all things related to this whole mess. It's almost the only thing we ever talk about. When I was a kid, I had already given up on the dream of a wonderful and happy life, since I had already learned so much about how ugly "the world of the adults" is. I learned about wars, the lies that started them, about the people who profited of them. I learned about how school was not there to educate, but instead to indoctrinate. I learned about how many people lie and pretend. Put on beautiful masks with nothing behind them. I saw friends change from good kids to miserable adults. All that kept on going as I thought, the only thing I have is my mother and my father. But, things got bad, it became hard since my mother could no longer stand how he always talked about the worst things in the world. I did not understand why it was so rough for her, because I grew up with it. And it made things even worse. As I got older, my family split up. My mother and I moved out of the country and traveled around for a while, it was everything but idyllic. I saw even more of how bad things were, I was in Greece and saw it collapse in many ways. We lived pretty unhealthy, and the only times I had contact with my father were frightening while my mother was depressed, always. We had a dog, and she had a similar function to me as what you described with your pets, she got sick, and we did not have the money for the surgery that would help her. She died peacefully. But after that I saw even less good in the life I had, things went downhill from there as my mother also got sick on top of her depression. We moved back to our home country and to my father. He never really wanted a kid, and while he was very nice at times, he was also everything but a father. After a few freak-outs by him, I ended up becoming careful with how I act and what I say. I stared to numb everything down. It worked, he still scared me from time to time, but I got good at avoiding anything that could piss him off. It did not do me any good in the end. He now has an even shorter fuse, and I think a reason might be that I retreated so much. To put it bluntly, I have cornered myself. I am now an adult and everything is a mess. You can pick it up HERE. I know a lot about how things work in our world, I know about the Bush family and what kind of s__t they pulled, I know about why JFK was killed, I know about the countless people that were murdered for the sake of the corrupt bastards that are causing this mess. I know about how certain very big events in recent history were initiated and used by horrible people to gain more power. As such, I admit that I have lost hope, the only slither of possibility I see is what that poem described. Rage is not a bad thing, it can turn a man into a beast. And it can harden your determination like steel. I now doubt that people will realize this in time to prevent horrid things from happening. But all I hope for, is that once this is over, no matter if I am alive at that point or not, the people will get their revenge on the BASTARDS that did all this. Darn, this happens every time I write about something that I feel emotional about. Funny, you said your comment was a rant... Just look at this mess, this is like a novel written by a tired dude at 01:16 while being half asleep. I am gonna sleep now. I wish you the best good lad. May the future be just. And may you find a way to be happy, not just sane.
@@YTubeScandalScrambledMyHandle ... Well, it's the next day, and I am just sitting here wondering "what the f__k did was I thinking while writing that mess of a comment?" Sorry bout that, that a bit of a mess. The point is I am sorry to hear about your mother, may she rest in peace... And I enjoyed the poem very much. It is the last little slither of light that I see at the end of this tunnel of corruption. I wish you the best sir/madam.
Hey Flawd & Meaux! Is there any way you would be willing to do some commentary and reactions on some of Dax's music? I'm not aware if you've already done that before, but I'd love to see it. Dax is pretty awesome.
You gotta do KC Makes Music! His song "Shot in the Dark" is about his battle with addiction but he is also a really dope rapper! His Tyler Herro remix is crazy!
Your video's are NICE and shout out on how dead on you are about panic attacks I also would get rush to hospital I even job out of my friends car and took off running 🏃♂️ to hospital thinking I was dieing and then the people at the hospital would be laughing at me after they seen me there before I remember literally choking and they thought that was funny as s**** I never felt so mentally abused

Flawd is awesome, but check out knox hill. His breakdowns are on a whole different level from anyone out there.Literally dissecting bars and videos
@@Mad-Hatter I've seen knox hill. He is very good. But Flawd is in a league of his own.
This is why people love him. He gives a voice to people who are ignored.

That was one of his songs that originally fell through the cracks but now it’s getting to play it deserves
Glad people are seeing how rap has been used to hurt people. This music has been a weapon, and we never realized it until now.
Yes ! I never hear anyone else talk about how Nova and Tom always kill it with color schemes. At least once per video I have to pause and admire the artistry!!! The colors pop when they should, create mood, just overall actually adds to the videos.
Great comment
I love how ur trip thru the tom macdonald albums is still going and how ur still discovering his music.
You hit the nail on the head - this is why they try and shut him down, stop him, smear him and so forth - he calls this stuff out consistently. This was the song when I first got scared that they might try to cancel him in the permanent way. I still am concerned for his safety.
Rap went from "I sell fools drugs" to "im the fool buying drugs"
It’s around the same time rappers stopped flipping the bird to the system and started selling out as an arm of the system.
As someone who has bi polar depression with an explosive temper I hate battling it daily it's a never ending war in my head and I hate it but I'm still fighting. I appreciate Tom doing this song
This was my introductory song to Tom Macdonald back in the day when this was making the rounds on Facebook. One hell of a first impression.
Tom and NF are 2 of my favorite rappers. They spit real bar after real bar.
NF is soooooooo goood so is tom, but yeah NF/Tom two of the biggest fighters we've got these days for just plain life man. Not being the hardest, not being the coolest, not fucking the most women, just straight up real life
Yesssss!!!
I've been waiting for this reaction since you first started to like Tom!

Love the hook/chorus in this. "y'all ain't real I can see it in your eyes" speaks volumes.
One of the most underrated reviewers on the net
Anxiety is the human equivalent of the "spider sense" if you can see that
i was hard core addicted to this song when it came out.. ooof so fire
FLAWD PHILOSOPHER! Love to listen to you talk!! You're both phenomenal ✌️🖤
People who have it don't talk about it...TRUTH!
This was the song that made me realize i had been sleeping on Tom. I went back & listened to the back catalog after this,& bumped everything new after it. Glad to see someone get as much from it as i did. Loved every second of it.

You said that so well. He is such a great rapper…… he makes it look easy
Haha. Love the reactions. Still go back and watch my favorite. It's your reaction to No Response. Keep it up.
You real bro, I had panic attacks every damn morning because of the stress of a shit job with an oppressive boss (one of those assholes who treats you like shit despite being the most valuable asset they have).
Tom & Nova rocks! As a new fan I am enjoying listening to facts.
1 of toms top hooks very overlooked song.
just wanted to say i may not watch as avidly as i used to but u guys r awesome and imo owe your success to your honesty and openness, allowing your audience to feel like they really know u guys. zero fakeness just passion and positivity.
keep killing it.

And I get to see things so much clearer and it's scary to see how many people are still walking around asleep
Flawd how can you only have 117 subs when you and Mo are the GOATS of podcasters. Am I missing something? I will be joining your fam once I get a job! Love you guys!

#HangovergangGermany
Waking up to the fact that we are brainwashing ourselves w the shit we listen to is enlightenment. I know it was for me, shit in…shit out. Watching my teens realize it for themselves was pretty awesome. Anyway, love your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing. Mad props. 🫶🏼
Great Reaction Always!

Dude, don't start gatekeeping anxiety, or depression. You might get it worse than some, but you'd get anxious just from hearing the hell I've been through. Your struggle doesn't invalidate anyone else's.
This is a clear case of projection. There’s a difference between gatekeeping and differentiating anxiety disorder from normal everyday anxiety. All I did was point out the fact that culture has bred a society of people that incorrectly self diagnose & WANT mental health issues. Doctors SHOULD be doing more gatekeeping of mental health disorders rather than over-diagnosing and overprescribing meds. The statement “you may get it worse than some but you’d get anxious just from hearing the hell I’ve been through” is telling. The only person invalidating struggles is you bruv. It’s wild how people will go on the offense as soon as you speak down on the death grip big pharma has on America.
Never understand why people say his hooks suck…. That hook was fire 🔥
Tom is flowing the truth out there. Thank You Flawd for truth comments. 🙏 ❤
Can listen to Tom all day. Love your perspective Flawd.
I just wish these kids would listen to what Tom and you guys are saying, and get off all the drugs and alcohol, I’m so proud of all the rappers that are supporting and promoting sobriety 👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻✊🏻❤❤❤❤HOGARMY
Me too. We're up against a system that promotes both through music, news and veneered social icons that many admire.
Back yet again because I’m bored waiting for y’all to go live. Lol.
I gotta admit, I’ve listened to Tom for a while and skipped over this song multiple times. Until one day I heard the hook, and that got me all up in my feels. This song has been a banger in my playlist ever since. ❤🤘🏻 #hangovergang #hog4ever #flawdskwad
Thanks for this Flawd. This video reaction has given me strength....long way to go but you give hope bruv.
Absolutely love flawd couple. I am a huge tom fan and your insight into his songs and your open personal stories have helped me take action on my own alcohol addiction. I'm now in Alcoholics Anonymous. I have viewed both the flawd couple and Tom's voice on battling deamons and addiction has made me act. Thanks guys love from Australia 🇦🇺
This song has been one of my favorites in a min especially the hook
Wow, thank you both for sharing your story. You'll help people by showing them the other side exists.
One of my fav Tom songs #HOG4EVER
I love Tom and I love you flawd. You have the best breakdowns of lyrics man. You amaze me sometimes how well you remember lyrics. You can tell you immerse yourself in the music and it’s awesome to see. I also appreciate your breakdowns and deciphering of lyrics, it’s a whole nother layer to the beauty of music with a message.
that hook literally touched my soul
both of these videos you did today seem extremely emotional for you Flawd! Love ya man!!
Love your takes.we need to save humanity..he speaks truth..HOG
Presh, another dope reaction, he always be hittin in the feels
I may not agree with your views all the time or certain other things but the many good reasons why i come back here is because you are real and reasonable enough and you understand what rap is all about. You are starting to grow on me really.
Side note: I think this song was almost shut down.
I got schizophrenia, major depression through seasonal and Anxiety attacks. Its been a long road and I am functional and sane. That shadow chases me and gets me everytime but that is all the more reason to keep fighting. That is also why I like Tom too. I do not agree with him all the time either but over time he has change my mind on alot of things and talks about things I do say already. This song is on many of my main playlist. This song has a special place in my heart
I’m so glad you came out on the other side. Many do not. ❤️❤️
@@tammycombs167 Always representing! You're a trooper! I do my best to throw 👍 in every direction & make occasional comments to show support & help the alg.
Things that help keep a great community.
Best to ya! 😇✌️
Stay safe and know you aren’t alone.
I'm always shocked how flawd can hear a crazy bar he's never heard before.... Pause and repeat it when I didn't even understand it
How the FUCK do I not know about this song until now! Fire!🔥 🔥
Thx guys, you're the best appreciate ya'll!
One of my favorites!
Bro I was gonna say you're always in that brown and yellow, your colors be on point
This to me is also one of the reasons i fucking love bands like Slipknot and Soundgarden. It wasnt just that the music is fire, its that you could tell from the lyrics they were not only NOT glorifying it(depression/suicide), they were fighting it with everything they had. I am legit alive today because of bands like them. They didnt talk about drugs to solve it they talked about mentality. One of my greatest regrets in life is NOT being able to let Chris Cornell(lead singer of Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and Audioslave) that he saved my life with his music. Maybe if he had heard that more, he would still be here with us and bringing light to so many more. I know the comment section after he killed himself was FILLED with people like me wishing they could say to his face "you saved me, thank you". Just god damn. So yes for those of us with real issues, music like this is INSPIRATIONAL. It lets you know you are not alone, and that others are fighting the same damn fight you are. I struggle with severe depression to this day. Music is STILL my savior. When i spiral to my lowest, Slipknot, Soundgarden/Audioslave and others are there to pick me back up. It's always a good thing to have music like this out there. Not glorifying a real issue, or saying "hey take pills to make it all go away" but saying yeah its a real fuckng struggle, but im dealing with it the best i can.
I will change and shorten my comment, it is a sad state that the world is in now... and you are right that it's amazing that Tom is willing to point out that this is one of (if not the biggest) problems we are facing right now.
Great song, great reaction
Panic attacks SUCK!! My doc sent me to the ER one day because my heart rate was kinda crazy!! I was having trouble catching my breath, getting tunnel vision, my face going numb... I actually had an abnormal EKG, spent all day in the ER and those morons said it was an asthma attack (I don't have asthma and they did no breathing test)
I was under EXTREME stress at work and my only direct coworker was terminated while I was on "vacation" picking up our daughter in California from an eating disorder "house", then driving back to Texas. It was too much!!!! After a week of tests, and the inhaler they said I needed breaking me out in hives, it was determined that I was having a full blown panic attack. Until then I had only had anxiety attacks, minor in comparison to this. I started having another one because of the inhaler and hives!!! Now I know the signals and can generally keep it from getting too bad, sometimes only with the help of my husband... he has to help get me grounded sometimes. BUT I no longer use Trazodone, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Xanax or anything else from pharma... only essential oils now. SO MUCH BETTER!!!
Love watchin y'all... would be cool to run into you during our travels around the hill country some time!!
The subject and message in this one is great, but the hook is amazing!! #HOG❤
Back again, because this is a dope reaction to a dope song.
This is the first song I baser from Tom a about 4 years backs. Been riding with him since
Hurt people hurt people.
Chills.
Over 80% of ALL advertising in the past 3 years has been funded by pharmaceutical companies. ALL ADVERTISING.
It's disgusting. I don't feel like they should be able to advertise like that. People end up diagnosing themselves with the information in the commercials and go to their doctors with a preconceived idea of the situation.
@@caiterlandson7473 Just think about the layers of corruption here. Using Pepsi as an example. First, the government locks everyone down. No one is going to movies and restaurants to buy soft drinks. But Pepsi still needs to advertise. Who's the only companies that made money during the pandemic? Pharmaceutical companies. So Pepsi goes to Phizer for advertisement funding. Which is them selling you the very poison that the drugs will "cure" you of...
All while Phizer is collecting tax dollars with one hand... And collecting your personal profit for the other.
Love the reaction, discussion, and breakdown, guys. Have y'all heard his track "Sober?" I have a feeling you'd like it if you haven't.
That hook is one of my favorites.
As someone that suffers from anxiety so bad that I've become agoraphobic, and afraid to go out in the world. Thus doing his so fucking deep
🔥 🔥 🔥 👊 ✌️ #HOG
Love your reaction 😍
I thought I was having a heart attack. My BP was 180/120, my heart was racing, I couldn't breathe.... Was in the ED for like 5 hours, had a bunch of tests ran.... Nothing, first panic attack I ever had.
5:00 Remember when Mackelmore made a song about doctors being drug dealers? That was on the radio and to this day I wonder why he got a pass but no one else did.
8:36 That's rough bro, I'm glad you kept going and came through to a better place. Just remember - you have an audience, you have people that do care about your well being. If you need to - don't hesitate to turn on the cam and just talk to us man. If you've got some troubles - let us know. If there's some big event and you need a little help - start a go fund me. No one has much, but together, with a bunch of people chipping in what they can: we can help. Don't ever forget man - there are *thousands* of people who are willing to listen and willing to help.
I've lost over 50 friends to drug over doses here in Bradenton, Florida, alone. Most of them are from Fentanyl. It is a major epidemic that is not being dealt with
It's so on point that even the YT play is directly on the center of Tom's nose 👃 😄😄
I'm glad we did this together!
👊Reaction - Tom's mixing/lyrically the socially relevant truths in our current society, is always next level😲 and making a dope beat/music to bop and listen to, genius!. Unfortunately, like u said, we the people are never gonna hear these things in mainstream😢 Mass manipulation is the 😈's goal! Thanks! #HangOverGang
Thanks man. So important 🔥
Tom's in my top 5 alive and I don't care that you think I'm wrong!
Love the new logo. FZ Fam.

I agree that criminally Future isn’t responsible, but morally? That’s a different story.
Lil Whyte we were bumping him on the bus headed to middle school- Oxycotton
this isnt a woman bag but every girl i have dated has said they have anxiety. Out of 8 only 2 had it and after the first three i had no idea what true aniexty attacks was. The third and the last had it...my god i felt so helpless. If someone has a severe anxiety attack i suggest rubbing their back and don't talk. Just let them talk and give them it is all okay every so often. It is an internal battle that when you are on the outside you wish you could help because we do ALL HAVE ANXIETY. But we don't all have true anxiety attacks. Sorry to hear you have had that Flaw i can't relate. i get anxious but i never have it take over.
I have suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts since I was around the age of 9 to 11 years old.
It's a big reason why I barely remember most of my childhood.
Seeing people turn that into a trend makes me want to hit someone, and then puke, or the other way around.
It's just straight up sick, disgusting but, it has become like the whole trans thing for some people.
A way to get popular, I have also met quite a few people who say that they are depressed,
and when I actually interact with them for a while, I see that they just made it up.
It's something that is being pushed by the mainstream, and Flawds thought on how that plays into the pharma industry was very much correct.
When this song dropped, it hit me like a train, like, he mentioned almost everything that needed to be said.
And just from the way he sings and acts, I can see that he also seems to know what he is singing about.
I just wonder, how can people play into this so much, even though it's so sick and vomit-inducing...
Well, I guess it's the same story as the trans thing and most other problems in our society, propaganda.
Prayers and love. It is evil what they push. It really is.
@@tammycombs167 Thanks, also, yes it is,
it's even worse than many people think.
The people causing all this mess also play big roles in pretty much any large industry.
They also lie to the people all the time, using politicians as mouthpieces.
The wars, the poverty, the sickness and misery, it could all be avoided quite easily.
IF our society were not in the hands of the most wretched people in this world, we could create a world of peace, fairness, happiness and (above all) freedom.
We need to teach people how to think,
not what to think.
If we created a culture similar to that of the old Greeks, a culture of thinking, of pondering ideas and philosophies.
Then we could truly live our best lives.
But for that to work, people need to see the world as it is, people need to stop fighting our own, man vs woman, left vs right, one good heart against the other.
The only ones we need to fight are the bastards that have created this whole mess.
I wish you the best, may life be kind to us all.
@@haydencarn8737 You're a very interesting person.
I often think I say too much because I've been told "no one likes a book"😇 but it's difficult to put things in perspective with such few words as "Fire Bad" "Ungawa".
I'm seeing what you're seeing.
Many of us are wide awake.
Unfortunately, maybe not enough?
Check out the poem "The Men Who Wanted to Be Left Alone". I think Michael J. Hurd mentioned it from an "unknown" author.
I've suffered depression throughout life as most of if not all do & have thought suicide many times. My mom died in my arms on our steps last December after I carried her through the house & as the ambulance backed in the driveway, less than a month of her 2nd(forced).
Our animals help keep my sanity. I stay busy working & providing for them so they can provide for me. My guard dogs, snake catching cats, my ducks, chickens, & even my fish pond.
None of that will stop what is on the horizon.
We can try to ignore or even take the pain away but it's happening. Right in front of our eyes.
"Real eyes, realize, real lies".
Sorry for the rant. I blame it on the alcohol 😇✌️
@@YTubeScandalScrambledMyHandle
Firstly, I am really sorry to hear about what happened with your mother.
May she rest peacefully.
I am not remotely adequate when talking about this kind of thing, since I never really do it much. While I do know how to talk about certain things, with situations like this,
I honestly don't know how to respond besides wishing you all the best in the world and a good future.
And about that poem, it hits different.
Thank you very much, I have written it down. Also, please don't apologize for your "rant". I am glad to read what people actually think. The issue with short comments is that you can often not really express what it is that you mean.
So this kind of communication is very good.
I should thank you for taking the time to write all this, so I appreciate the response.
Now that I scrolled up and saw my comment in full... I feel like I should say that you can skip the next part if you want to.
It's more about personal things than the greater issue at hand.
Also, you could say I have grown up with subjects like these. My father is obsessed with all things related to this whole mess.
It's almost the only thing we ever talk about.
When I was a kid, I had already given up on the dream of a wonderful and happy life, since I had already learned so much about how ugly "the world of the adults" is.
I learned about wars, the lies that started them, about the people who profited of them. I learned about how school was not there to educate, but instead to indoctrinate. I learned about how many people lie and pretend. Put on beautiful masks with nothing behind them.
I saw friends change from good kids to miserable adults. All that kept on going as I thought, the only thing I have is my mother and my father. But, things got bad, it became hard since my mother could no longer stand how he always talked about the worst things in the world.
I did not understand why it was so rough for her, because I grew up with it.
And it made things even worse.
As I got older, my family split up.
My mother and I moved out of the country and traveled around for a while, it was everything but idyllic. I saw even more of how bad things were, I was in Greece and saw it collapse in many ways.
We lived pretty unhealthy, and the only times I had contact with my father were frightening while my mother was depressed, always.
We had a dog, and she had a similar function to me as what you described with your pets, she got sick, and we did not have the money for the surgery that would help her. She died peacefully.
But after that I saw even less good in the life I had, things went downhill from there as my mother also got sick on top of her depression. We moved back to our home country and to my father.
He never really wanted a kid, and while he was very nice at times, he was also everything but a father.
After a few freak-outs by him, I ended up becoming careful with how I act and what I say. I stared to numb everything down.
It worked, he still scared me from time to time, but I got good at avoiding anything that could piss him off.
It did not do me any good in the end.
He now has an even shorter fuse, and I think a reason might be that I retreated so much. To put it bluntly, I have cornered myself. I am now an adult and everything is a mess.
You can pick it up HERE.
I know a lot about how things work in our world, I know about the Bush family and what kind of s__t they pulled, I know about why JFK was killed, I know about the countless people that were murdered for the sake of the corrupt bastards that are causing this mess. I know about how certain very big events in recent history were initiated and used by horrible people to gain more power. As such, I admit that I have lost hope, the only slither of possibility I see is what that poem described.
Rage is not a bad thing, it can turn a man into a beast. And it can harden your determination like steel.
I now doubt that people will realize this in time to prevent horrid things from happening. But all I hope for, is that once this is over, no matter if I am alive at that point or not, the people will get their revenge on the BASTARDS that did all this.
Darn, this happens every time I write about something that I feel emotional about.
Funny, you said your comment was a rant...
Just look at this mess, this is like a novel written by a tired dude at 01:16 while being half asleep. I am gonna sleep now.
I wish you the best good lad.
May the future be just.
And may you find a way to be happy,
not just sane.
@@YTubeScandalScrambledMyHandle ... Well, it's the next day, and I am just sitting here wondering "what the f__k did was I thinking while writing that mess of a comment?"
Sorry bout that, that a bit of a mess.
The point is I am sorry to hear about your mother, may she rest in peace...
And I enjoyed the poem very much.
It is the last little slither of light that I see at the end of this tunnel of corruption.
I wish you the best sir/madam.
Hey Flawd & Meaux! Is there any way you would be willing to do some commentary and reactions on some of Dax's music? I'm not aware if you've already done that before, but I'd love to see it. Dax is pretty awesome.
💚#HOGFAMILY
Excellent Analysis 🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Anxiety attacks are the worst been to hospital five times in last few years thought I was going to die.
Where is "Tutti Fruity" on the list? Asking for a friend. 💗💗. Flawd, Meaux, Skwad, Tom, Nova, & HOG ROCK!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
You gotta do KC Makes Music! His song "Shot in the Dark" is about his battle with addiction but he is also a really dope rapper! His Tyler Herro remix is crazy!
Hey flawed I found a song that has struggle jennings is singing... called sunny days, beautiful song bruv
Your video's are NICE and shout out on how dead on you are about panic attacks I also would get rush to hospital I even job out of my friends car and took off running 🏃♂️ to hospital thinking I was dieing and then the people at the hospital would be laughing at me after they seen me there before I remember literally choking and they thought that was funny as s**** I never felt so mentally abused
