"Bad News" - Tom MacDonald & Madchild ft. Nova Rockafeller (REACTION!!!)

[@TomMacDonaldOfficial]

Yoooo this was so lit. You nailed the concept of “Bad News”. Super on point. I can’t believe someone sat through 14 minutes of my homemade Batman. Haha. I can’t believe I did that shit. These back to back features got me fukt up every time haha

[@michaellosaw1368]

@Tom MacDonald you and Mad Child together is lit bro keep up the great work

[@hey__jayjay]

Another phenomenal message. You will be the best in my mind forever.

[@davidsmith9029]

Holy sh*t! Bro, I missed the live stream and so i didn't have any insight on what to expect. Thanks for clearing it up for me, now I consider this a def banger! HOG for life!

[@patrickdonnelly6738]

If they have another Batman remake can you play Batman

[@brendagilbert4159]

Tom you should hook this family up with some tickets to your show

[@MadchildTV]

Thank you Man. You really broke it down for everyone 🙏 Much Respect!

[@chronicinokla]

Love your energy!!!! Flow is 🔥 🔥🔥

[@alexantoniades5416]

Keep it up Madchild,you and Tom make a really good combination.

[@chronicinokla]

I want to say I've been getting into your music and it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥 welcome back

[@anniekerpels]

You make me laugh, tom and nova dancing there ass of, and you standing there...like , no i'm good haha

[@opiearnold9986]

Love you mad child

[@teeniemclane3930]

Tom, Nova, and MadChild all sang in auto tune and still sounded better then mainstream rappers. Factor all that in with the way they are singing about real topics that relate to a lot of us and you get what they are True Artist 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥#Hangovergang❤

[@Antikythera509]

I'm so glad to see Madchild around in 2020

[@jakeballou5147]

Me too :) I found madchild last july and then a month later Tom. I never expected these 2 together or even considerd they exist in the same universe. I found tom and then randomly he just helps one of my favorite rappers back in his feet.

[@chrisrickels8271]

Still goin hard fr

[@jonnyboy5357]

For real! 🙏

[@cr4447]

I fully admit I had no clue what this song was about, but after hearing you talk and go through it I now have a new respect for the song.

[@cheriejohnson7520]

Finally a reactor who caught the reason for the exaggerated auto tune. Thank you TMG!! 💯☺️

[@AlexMaden]

Best interpretation of the song I've seen any reactor have. This is why I love you man. You're so wise, and you always keep it real, looking at things from a deeper perspective than most people do.

[@tarahill2193]

REALand BADASS !!!!! Great collaboration. 👍 I can't say enough....thanks, peace and love

[@VeronicaJ1959]

Absolutely LOVED Bad News!!! Mama is our safety blanket. She always makes it better. Loved the "I could really use a cake right now" line.

[@Brian-gx4pq]

Yo, freaking awesome analysis of “bad news”. I was trying to figure out the underlying message of the song and when you explained it it just clicked. Well done bro, just subscribed, keep killin it

[@crazytrain31]

Great reaction!!! You helped me understand the concept and be able to get past my auto tune disappointment phase... love it!

[@connorfuriato655]

I'm a metalhead but NF and Tom has been turning me onto rap

[@Sonofmorn666]

Bro should give ryan upchurch and adam Calhoun a jam

[@NathanCline12-21]

I'm 45, grew up on : Metallica Megadeth Anthrax Slayer Pantera etc.. But also Grandmaster Flash Run D.M.C. N.W.A GOOD MUSIC IS GOOD MUSIC.

[@connorfuriato655]

@@Sonofmorn666 I love upchurch and Adam calhoun

[@millerzhouze304]

Me to man, I dont even know how I ran across Tom but im glad I did cause im hooked now. Idk who NF is but if he's anything like Tom ill have to check him out.

[@brendagilbert4159]

Great reaction. I think you're the only one who broke it down like this.

[@shandeliervillanueva8609]

I have listened to this song a min of 3 times a day for months and I never even thought of how actually intricate this song is. I related to the feelings of living with depression and masking it with all this stuff every day. Self medicating and portraying a perfect persona. But damn this is so much a commentary piece! I love this! Thabk you for this perspective I have such a new respect for Tom, Man Child and Novas story

[@mbash7887]

Dude! That was the best analysis of this video I've seen. You just naturally get this stuff. Keep up the great work! Edit: I had that same reaction when Nova started rapping. :)

[@MC_kalCM]

Talk about a whole grown duo... She compliments him so much, I just hope she stays true for his sake.

[@grantpflum6844]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how awesome those three are together!

[@BrianLee-cq2hc]

Awesome song! Thank you for the great review!

[@liliththeghost951]

I'm living for Tom MacBatman

[@SSingh-nr8qz]

I would say "Mama" represents unconditional love. Someone who loves you regardless of how you present yourself and always hoping the best for you. Contrast that to fake ass friends who will use you and only be around you IF you maintain your image or other perks. I'm in my 40's now, and I wished I spent more time getting to know my mom more before she passed than some superficial assholes I thought were important.

[@codyd6515]

FYI, Mad Child was in the group Swollen Members in the early 2000s. Look it up if you're not familiar. He's been around almost 2 decades

[@KJGrim]

Longer! Hes been around 30 years

[@ThatguyPurps]

How are you only < 300k subs??? The quality of your reactions, and your indepth views that ALWAYS hit the nail on the head prove you should be 1 milly + Keep up the awesome work man, best reaction channel out there!!!

[@britanypeace4729]

I agree that theres something more for him. Dudes got a real calling. I was so zoned on that video it was amazing and he says old batman shit. That was amazing and is everytime I see it. Love the double features

[@ChadGPT-1.0]

Bad News... I appreciate the insight to the whole scene. I enjoyed it when I thought it was literal now I enjoy it even more. As you your second feature I did my Tom Macdonald video binge this week to try and get caught up...loved this one as much as you were locked in. What a cool idea with the double feature... provide solid content and people will give you all the time in the world. Thanks.

[@TheS0n1c8la2e]

First reactor iv watch that got it keep up the great reactions TMG FAM

[@meganmarkum5282]

I love how stoked you were about Nova 🎶

[@dannyhudson7675]

tom my brother you are true too your self and to your music so refreshing stay strong brother the world needs more artist like you 2.yyou have peoples hears and respect,

[@mariecrosby6203]

That was awesome...And you can save lives..we need to make a dozen of you two to speak and sing about sober is a Good feeling. Your music is so real that people that have no addiction wouldn't know that .

[@Sonja_Phillips]

Great reaction! For awhile now, I've been thinking how a movie produced by Tom & Nova would be super dope. I've asked him in his live streams if that could be a possibility but he's never answered that question. (Yet, he did answer my question about how he would do during a zombie apocalypse. LOL!)

[@swanrose9454]

Seen a lot of your reactions on Tom. But this breakdown was worthy of a sub! Great job man

[@tayann87]

I love this song so much. I call my mom all the time because she is the only one who gets me. I love Tom but would love to hear more from Nova. Much love. ❤️

[@AppalachieTim]

Dude I love your insight into the music and the respect you have for the artist.

[@chrisrickels8271]

Love that song "Hour Glass"

[@brandonjodrey2319]

Great sound great voice

[@mifnp8887]

Tom is a lyrical genius.

[@derrickb3264]

First time watching and subscribed. I kept putting it off because of the 29 minutes, but glad I did. Great analysis. Instantly one of my favorite reactors.

[@mariahasman3906]

Great reaction!! I liked this song when I first heard it but didn’t know the meaning. Now that I get it I LOVE it! Thanks for educating us.

[@Davo2233]

I lost my precious mother in November 2022! She was 72 years old. She loved this song for whatever reason she loved the beat of it and she asked me to play it numerous times and she danced to it. It was beautiful. She rolled off the bed at 72 years old, and had a heart attack, I mean I was on her as soon as she hit the ground I was calling 911 but I was already giving her CPR! It literally took the Centre, Alabama idiotic medics 25 minutes to get to my house and when they got there, I was so fucking exhausted I couldn’t even breathe,. If it takes 1000 years im going to get those bastards! If not I will die trying!

[@KTBroadcasting]

Best reaction I've seen so far, (including mine LOL). Brilliant break-down! Thanks bro. #HOG4Ever

[@christygill1632]

Great reaction! Not many reactors have done the Batman video, but it is one of my favorites from that time in his career. You got it right about the "write movies or do a short movie to music with different video drops"! Could you imagine what would be in store for us? As for Bad News - you are 100% on point with that too, but just adding to the brilliance, not only did he do it with the message itself, but also showed how easy it is for him to make a hit with that same type of mainstream vibe, but one that still has a deeper meaning & people of all ages & walks of life can rock to! #HANGOVERGANG4LIFE

[@jerimypollard5468]

I would love to see Tom and the rest of the crew do something like this again that would be awesome

[@jenniferhoolihan1450]

Thank you!!! U explained it!!!

[@kylehaley6385]

Most intuitive reaction I've seen on this song, nice job man. 🤟😎🤙

[@precisionbruteforcecreatio2060]

Loving your message Tom!!

[@jerimypollard5468]

I'm loving what these guys are doing lately

[@danabryant8815]

Madchild and Tom's friendship came out of a disk. Madchild made commits on Toms earlier videos?? Can't recall which. Tom replied and in conversation realize they had alot in comon in Sober life. Got together within 1st month did two videos. Madchild epic beat master. Who walked away from family and friends in the Crew he Began years Ago. Leaving them Angry here Stopped the Party. They still preform and are still Wild party moving from County fairgrounds nation wide. Tom Nova n Madchild triple threat. 💖💖

[@JADC1111]

Good reaction. First time I’ve heard anyone mention auto tune was used to reinforce the point that rappers have to personify a certain image and sound to sell

[@ginacousino5712]

Great reaction, I love how you are breaking it down!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tmac-fy8gx]

Mad respect on the whole quality thing thats all facts

[@rebeccaglasgow1324]

Tom and Nova= World class Combo these two always 🔥

[@Davo2233]

“Bad News” is the best pop song i ever heard! I doubt anyone agrees with me but I would ask them to listen to this song again Tom told my life story in story in 3+ minutes!

[@Twizkid]

I agree bro. I only just found ur channel yesterday, wednesday 30th, and u r awesome. I agree he speaks the truth in all his song. Yes some people may think, oh that is dumb he dumb, but what they r really not listening to is the meaning behind all his songs. U r awesome THE MATTHEWS FAM!!!!

[@garrattbassfishing7702]

dude this is next level dissecting. Strong work as always

[@michaelmason6210]

Damn you nailed it Lamar!!!!

[@mitchellwarrior52]

Bro you are killing it!!!!!!! I love hearing you perspective. Awesome job man 💪

[@424stormygirl]

!!!Man I've watched this like 5 or 6 times and I still get freaked out at the end but its so cool I can't not watch I love watching Tom kill the Jerk!!! I just want to get in there and fight with him! I love Bad News too.

[@gsxrmonsters]

This is a dope track here!!!! fire reaction bro

[@chefg_murder1191]

Man, Great review... And this trip is "Lit". Thanks for the insight.

[@MansterBear]

Man that was a deep breakdown. I got the gist that they were doing a song in the style mainstream does, with the autotune. But I would have never realized their saying what the other artists are really feeling. and that "out in the wilderness because they're isolated" man... Blew my mind.

[@reddawn6000]

OG Madchild showed up n showed out on this one! We need more

[@jamieludwig9661]

Haha..your reaction to Nova made me laugh..I'm impressed with her. She has it all..but I guess they worked at least 10 years together on their music and videos

[@millerzhouze304]

I watch a lot of reaction videos and you are my favorite one. You really pay close attention to the words and the story of the video. I do the same thing but I dont think I would be to good at what you do. Much respect

[@joebob4609]

Freaking awesome break down...and learned a new joint bravo..

[@chrisrickels8271]

Tom and Nova would be bad ass movie makers

[@iamdaghoul9097]

Very good insight and I read that you seem to got it right,, great work L,, not sure it was a reaction,, LOL but more a cinema feature.

[@bradclark8492]

I like ur take on it, first reaction i saw that said that, keep grinding! 💯

[@caseymcknight2858]

This breakdown makes me want to subscribe twice.. 🤣 great job man!

[@tinkred6420]

On point man. You are sharp. ❤❤❤

[@bellingerbuild]

Dude you’re on point! Great review

[@manuelamparano2693]

Yo Fam. You nailed the comments. I loved your take on everything. Your mind stays open to all things. i always enjoy and you never let down. peace my brotha

[@DmanLucky_98]

My take on "Bad News" Great thinking of never forget where you started...don't fall into the rap game traps and fakery. Great messages in his songs...as always. 🔥📩🎶 "It's not about the fame, it's about the messages" - Tom Macdonald

[@buckstarcreations3782]

Great breakdown.

[@ryancovington5636]

I really enjoy this trio!

[@MarkSmith-yz6pm]

I absolutely love your shirt!!

[@SiRLaY-ZaR09]

I need a cake right now blow out the candles and my brains right now" no reactor had noticed that line

[@JochyTV]

Best Reaction bro. Thanks

[@aldawgd]

Great reaction

[@JW-nc3zr]

You're on point, L! A lot of people don't pay attention to the artistry anymore. Tom isn't a rapper, he's an artist!

[@paulhouck4097]

Madchild is a legend on the underground for real

[@mimzyrising4145]

Everything is perspective, everyone's tired of hate❤❤❤

[@jerimypollard5468]

I agree 100 percent

[@monte80kyle]

You hit the nail on the head....thats with all the funny clothes and autotune 😢 😃

[@BenT_bbx]

By far the best breakdown of Bad News. Much love homie #hog

[@XBlackwolf751X]

Yo you nailed it bro. One love bruh

[@leighhunterjumperz3038]

This reminds me of MJ's iconic mini-movies!! 🔥 FIRE 🔥

[@shanedaniels6447]

The pairing of Tom and Nova is amazing. Both creative genius, and they really seem to play off each other well to create awesome videos / music. Trying to live up to an image is so stupid. I spent years gang banging, dealing drugs, and ended up getting my car shot up. Realized wtf am I doing? I just want to be a nerdy white dude and actually enjoy things. It's okay to have fun and enjoy life. being "hard" is stupid. So glad I got to become my real self as an adult, and I hope more people do sooner than it took me.

[@roseallamcdonald9555]

Love your reactions,love this song Totally off subject,please please react to angry grandma (what you doing grandma) with your beautiful lady

[@masonrhoades6806]

I love your vids. Keepin it real

[@jimibill6854]

Mad Child/Swollen Membors been holdin it down for a long time yal check his catalog

[@porkwop9171]

Love how after novas verse "i been rollin with some bad dudes" Tom and nova pointed to madchild Madchild been through some shit up here in my city of VANCITY (vancouver) He was affiliated with the hells angels, banned from the USA, had gangsquad all over him. He was definately a bad mother fucker. Hes not no poser. My old man was right there when madchild was rising up in the canadian rap scene, and madchild was actually about that life.

[@66stang27]

So glad to see Hourglass!!!!

[@tbexecutioner5392]

Are we not talking about the fire throwback mix. Oh well I will. 🧟‍♂️

[@rccarothers]

T.Y. for this! This is the best Reaction video ever!!! HOG 4-LIFE!

[@josephgebo5025]

The second half of your two piece was fire. I forgot all about bad news. Where the fuck did that come from, I loved it.

[@chrisrickels8271]

You get this shit thats awesome bro. Alot of people bitching bout the song bc it's not him. No shit. He made a mainstream song like he said.

[@therealduz-t6762]

Madchild is much bigger artist than Tom Macdonald and pretty much a og in the game at this point.

[@shirleyallen5178]

Tom is a genius

[@relax4377]

Problem- by Nova is amazing

[@funkgill]

🔥🔥 response to 🔥🔥 song. 💪🏼Bro

[@joshphillips9922]

I don't like 2 years late. But you're super on point. I really respect the fact that you knew exactly what he was trying to do first time listening.
