Videographer REACTS to Tom MacDonald, Adam Calhoun, & Dax "Black & White" - FIRST TIME REACTION

[@bobs.3764]

Thank you for constantly giving Nova her respect, she is multi talented. Tom is dropping another video this Friday. #HOG

[@whydoyouneedtoknow3322]

I'm glad to see someone focusing on Nova's work. Yes, Tom, Adam and Dax are top shelf, but Nova is taking a back seat while pushing them into the spotlight. She is a star also!

[@heartofdixiechick587]

I know Dax said in a live video that this was a two day shoot. I love your reactions and it's nice to see you give the videographer (Nova more specifically) their props as well.

[@mimikannisto4418]

Yes! Highly suggest Tom's song Riot. It gives plenty for you to dive into. Everyone including Tom and Nova said that video leveled up video quality and skill for Nova. Also thanks for another great review.

[@joeesparks7]

🤔🤔🤔

[@psychoclown22]

For sure Riot

[@ElainetheGARugrat8815]

I think all three absolutely killed it - but will admit Dax's part is my favorite as far as messaging. Loved Tom's fast and clear flow and Adam's style was a great bridge between the other two. Really great song and video!!! Really great reaction!! #HOG❤️ ***** Tom and Adam dropping a new video tomorrow at 9am ET!! *****

[@smle34]

Dax, God’s eyes…. Very meaningful!!…. Absolutely anything out of Tom or Adams catalog!

[@thedominator87]

the song you were trying to figure out during adam's verse is the same as eminem's the way i am

[@joeesparks7]

Yoooooo👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽💯💯💯💯 thank u bro...my years are getting up there and I can't always recall🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@Coldinwis]

I’m really loving your reaction videos!! The thing I love the most about technology is how a lifelong farm gal from middle of nowhere Wisconsin can find someone that is from a totally different way of life, with different interests & knowledge about things I know nothing about and feel like I connect with them. I learn something new every time I watch you and something bout the way you connect with music feels really familiar to me. You have become one of my favorite reactors! While I’m not a fan of everyone you react to, the artists and bands that I do like, I watch your reactions like 5-10x so probably gives you the same amount of views from me as if I was watching every single video you do 😂 Thanks for all your insight & for all the laughs, you always brighten my day!! ❤

[@joeesparks7]

Thank u sooooo much for this comment 🙏🏽 and for those extra views lol. I feel like talking video production helps separate me from the heard🤷🏾 so I'm glad to know u taking something away from watching!

[@michaelphipps8647]

Racism by Adam Calhoun is a must!!!

[@joeesparks7]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@Thomas_Harkins123]

Yes that one

[@callumthorsen5474]

Totally agree

[@KoryLaBauve]

Just go in open minded and not immediately being triggered by what Adam is saying. I've seen too many reactors that just let the message go right over their head.

[@msabccbscnnoanfoxnews]

that's only if you like racism and mediocre hip-hop

[@michaelphipps8647]

All three killed it. Riot by tom is 🔥

[@krisqo]

Its so awesome seeing how far Nova has come, her videos just keep getting better and better.

[@asraiSOA]

What she was pulling off with marginal equipment before Tom blew up is nothing short of astonishing. Now… she’s just mind-blowing with what she comes up with.

[@Mancjorot]

Tom comes in hard right from the off 🔥. Loved Dax's face when the chorus kicks in, priceless 😂. All of them are great but when Dax comes in with his verse, that's my favourite, brings it all together. Nova and Tom's brother in law did a great job with this one , I don't know his name but he did the drone work. Thanks for reacting to this one, loved it ❤.

[@joeesparks7]

Jo Yes Dax face was hilarious 😂 😂😂

[@icequeen3621]

@@joeesparks7 what is funny is that was his first reaction he didn't know what to do when they were like white people, nova told him it was perfect lol and kept the cut.

[@TooHighToPlay]

Love this one, Dax kills it

[@joeesparks7]

Ima have to check Dax catalog now😂😂😂

[@TooHighToPlay]

I feel like you're going to enjoy the journey@@joeesparks7 :)

[@ceekayy79]

Oh you've gotta check out Dax for sure. Some onions all around sometimes with him as well 🧡🧡 I had some bank fraud issues but I'll be back on the production team soon

[@Mancjorot]

Hope you get it all sorted sooner rather than later Ceekayy 🤗.

[@joeesparks7]

CeeKayy ima have to check out Dax and see what them onions do👊🏽💯 Don't worry bout me but like Jo said, we just hope u get it sorted out for ur on peace of mind🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@Gulicktheemu]

This song is epic and everyone needs to hear its message. This is the best song/video around but, it has something no other artist or group of artists can say: “The music industry will not get even $0.01 from this song or these artists. Screw the music industry. 🖕🏽 New video from Tom and Adam tomorrow, 9:00 AM California time. #hangovergang forever 🤙🏽🤙🏾🤙🏿🤙🏻🤙🏼

[@Indianatanner]

AMERICA.. This song says it all, great track and another great reaction, keep em coming bro

[@ThisIsMyLife7399]

Literally EVERYTHING is shot by Nova that Tom puts out. . . They are one hell of a talented couple

[@MrSpiegs18]

You got the Ememein flow and I subscribe to you. Not to many people get that flow. How can they not? Good job brother! 🙂

[@SeantheBawse]

You would absolutely love "No Response", "Don't Look Down" and "I Hate HipHop" from Tom! Both lyrics and cinematography!

[@cjhines8]

Can't wait to hear what else you have to say about nova in other vids, she kills these vids every time. great to hear your perspective on the vids! you can catch some of the behind the scenes of them shooting vids on their channels. they are a good watch as well.

[@saraohara2504]

Really interesting reaction! Love learning about some of the features of the video & hearing you explain a little about how it’s done 💗♥️💗

[@victoriawaterman6339]

Knowing Nova and Tom with their work ethic, I think they all filmed all verses dozens of times throughout the day. Tom has said often that he’ll listen/rap/play/sing his songs for video release 500 times before it’s released. I would not be surprised if this is no exaggeration!

[@TheeAmethystEmpress6589]

Absolutely 💯 ❤

[@eviljeep]

Tx for listening to Dax part in one shot! 👌 For me, the best verses of rap music of the 21 Century musically and lyrically 💪

[@Howsyer]

I dig your reactions and your perspective. I don't comment much, but I do watch them all, not just Tom's, since you did your first one with BP. #HOG

[@claranielsen3382]

For Dax checkout Dear God and Deae Alcolhol. You won't be disappointed. Jared Potter did the special effects. Great reaction

[@lesliebates22]

Here for it!!!💯♥️💙

[@greattheillusion]

Dax had a lot of cinematic videos that I think would be up your alley for sure. Definitely check out more of him even if it's on your own time.

[@nancysmith1371]

I wish you would put all Tom's song on his play list. Loved your reaction to Ghost😂 awesome

[@ZombieChris1]

As always! Another great reaction love you using your experience with breaking down the visuals/artistic side and explaining some of the cuts/effects

[@tracker258]

Great reaction and acknowledgment of Nova's editing skills. They are all so talented and great 🔥track HOGFAM 💯 ACAL 💯 DAX 💯

[@emptynestmom1479]

Nova has a channel called Not Nova Rockefeller, she usually goes on with Tom breaking down how the video shoot went.

[@CynthiaKimberly]

Love the videographer perspective and glad you're shouting out Nova for all the work she put's into the video's. There's some behind the scenes footage on instagram for some of the more recent video's too. I've always found it fascinating how much footage it takes to come up with a 4 minute video. Crazy how many hours/days/weeks to come up with the final product!

[@Silent_Shadow]

The part where Adam did the Eminem cadence is from EMINEM - The way I am. Really loving your content bro. Stay up!

[@arielbussart1305]

I'm a newbie to Dax, but what I've listened to was SO worth it! Nova is spot on in her videos lately and I loved this break down of the technical side! Keep rocking it Joe-e!

[@disgruntledgrunt2492]

Amazing take and appreciate the insights on the artistry of the videos. Heads up, new video dropping tomorrow on the 22nd. Have an amazing rest of your day.

[@johnwilliams8818]

Hey man, thanks again for your perspective. It's really hard to suggest videos from Tom; TBH, they all stand out for different reasons. I like Buttholes, and I'm Corny because they uplift and make you "feel good." But I like Names because I can relate on a personal level. Tom has one called "Naked" where he appears to be naked (all the bits are covered), and some reviewers are like "I don't want to see Tom naked". It's not about nudity; it's about baring one's soul and being as transparent as humanly possible. The line *_"Teflon, even when I'm naked, it's heartbreaking ain't it"._* is sort of profound. I dunno, I'm old school. Gloria Gaynor, Blondie, and Whitney were among the styles of music I preferred when I was younger. But this? I *_Get It_* on so many levels. Tom's like a modern day herald put here to spread a message. People from all ages, races, colors, etc hear him and are affected. What chance of hooking him up with Nova who is like a modern day Scribe that puts his messages into a format that works?

[@charlesbouthillier7216]

First time looking at your reaction,and I must say thank you your perspective on the video side of the music video is new to me. So you have my thanks I just subscribed to your channel I truly enjoyed your reaction

[@allybandy3047]

Nova raps too!! Need to see her 'Hey You' self made video diss to Def Jam! She is a queen!

[@fatboy1271]

Love your video breakdowns 🤘🤘I 3D Print and I'm always looking to make my photos of my prints better. You're videos are helpful in how to look at shots!

[@gdur01]

Love the react! Glad to see you reacting to Tom and Nova’s work….looking forward to seeing more.

[@kevin_ninja_jones2363]

If you haven't already dive deeper into all 3 they are all 3 are great and always have a message

[@user-dm6ll9qw2f]

Love seeing Tom reaction

[@douglaseppinger6320]

Dax is phenomenal! check him out for sure!

[@niki-ifI2ry]

On Nova's channel she does a break down of this music video with Tom and Dax. They focus on the shooting and editing of the video and it's absolutely worth watching.

[@Niknacpaddywac]

It is also crazy that Nova shoots and directs all Tom's videos. Nova is his longtime girlfriend, and she helps through the whole process down to the writing 🥰

[@chrisbowlby9640]

I really loved the American flags video to Nova did an amazing job with that one to she is a genius

[@jamesmccoy9955]

I always enjoy your perspective, and enjoy your insight. Once again, great reaction bro.

[@christianpcassidy3753]

Subbed - Great Reaction/Breakdown! Song was🔥 Start to finish. Tom, Adam and Dax were eating on those beats, bars, flows and cadence’s. and Adam with that “EM” flow😳 and Dax’s face at the end of Tom's verse was classic😂🤣 + his verse was pure lyrical gems💎💎 Oh yeah, I agree Nova's a beast with vid/edits/directing. Thanks! #HangOverGang #AdamCalhoun #Dax

[@SouthernShit931]

Adam Calhoun - Amen

[@Luap6685]

Thank you for your technical acumen on the videography aspects of Nova’s genius work! I am getting ready to retire and want to get involved with videography. Have a blessed day Sir

[@user-iq5oj5pt7o]

Hang Over Gang in the house! They did amazing on this track! HOG!

[@kathiyow6801]

Love this song and video three greats 👍 together this is fire 👌 👏 🔥..love your reaction as always ❤️ #HOG FOREVER

[@billadrian5453]

Def like your breakdown of the videos. It's neat to hear the visual effects breakdown as well. Awesome reaction.

[@kto_66]

Keep'em Coming love the breakdown of the video. Yes Nova is a Beast! 📽️ #HOGARMY in the house... #DAX🤘😎 #Acal

[@jesiahmalaory3686]

Second reason Ive subscribed today; been spending a lot of time building up my skills with video production and you breaking downing how they did what........-.- helps me so much. I can visualize what i want to do but flop in trying to find the words to describe what i want to do. Youre break down @ 5:15ish of the rotoscoping with multi layers to put back and fore ground fire around the object in dominace. Man, i took notes to take into AE & Primier tomorrow.

[@joeesparks7]

I'm so happy that some of the videography break down helped u🙏🏽 can't wait to see how u use that info!!!

[@paranoiaaa4126]

Somehow i missed this, but better late than never. This song goes hard! #HOG ❤

[@wesmartindale677]

Tom and adams new track drops tomorrow. 🤘🤘

[@Farinhir]

I discovered you the other day when you reacted to "People so Stupid" on the other channel. Enjoying seeing your take as a videographer and as an American on these songs. Keep it up.

[@tonybackwardsspellsy-not6104]

This album is the first album they actually filmed together,even in AS FAR AS THE STARS they all filmed in different places Tom and Nova were in California and Brandon was in Canada,Nova edits everything together to make you think they filmed together

[@francesmarinapatarangawhik4702]

Hi Joe E, I am enjoying my journey of rap artists/music, which I started listening to this year. I understand most of the terms hooks, schemes, bars etc. These artists I have listened to individually and man I love what these guys have put together, a great, collab. The video, it was the colours and the clothes that got me, but the effects were great...Peace.☝️🤓

[@aimeekeel]

Dax is fantastic. I love this song. They did such a good job on it, although I still cannot handle Tom’s voice. All I hear is Adam Sandler, and I cannot take him seriously. Speaking facts here and they all killed it.

[@battygirlrachel]

Don't forget to add this to your Tom playlist!Playlist! Noticed Ghost wasn't in the playlist either...

[@alishamarie3.0]

You need to do the system next! That video is crazy!!

[@tanya41277]

Some people buy chains with their first check...Nova buys a Red cam and lights...shes different 😂

[@paranoiaaa4126]

You should absolutely check out Dax from his 20 min Next Rap God 2 to his songs like To Be A Man and PTSD.

[@michaelfarley8198]

Also I wanna tell you I respect your craft and can understand it and know the hours and hours and hours it takes to edit the videos cuz I went to digital harbor high school in Baltimore Maryland and it’s a tech school and after freshman year you have to pick a pathway to do the rest of high school and I did media so I learned how to edit on photoshop and also adobe premier for video and I did my own videos in school shot them and edited them so I know the hard work so I do want you to know I appreciate your craft and the work you do want you to know I respect it and thank you for all your hard work cuz people like you are the ones who hardly get notice or recognized for all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. Be safe bro and keep it up.

[@jadehand1]

Dax has some great stuff. He did "Blame the Rappers"(Tom ft. Dax) with Tom and Tom did "Propaganda"(Dax ft. Tom) with him.

[@donnastupka7507]

🔥 × 3 !!! Great reaction!! ❤

[@KyaRogers-Hansen]

Nova has a KZbin page called Not Nova Rockafeller and they posted a bts video with her, Tom, and Dax talking about shooting it and they show clips of her setup and an insight into her ideas behind the video.

[@NuckinFutz66]

U should react to Tom's song The System. Also Nova has some songs she raps in too that are pretty good you should check out!

[@donaldross3465]

Other songs to check out from Tom: “Dont Look Down”, “Names”, “Everybody Hates Me”, “Brainwashed”, “ Sheeple”, “ Buttholes”, “ White Trash”, “ Bad News”, “No Good Bastards”, “Fake Woke”, “America”, “Snowflakes”, No Lives Matter”, “ Fire Emojis”, “Fighter”, “Dirty Money”, “Politically Incorrect” and “The System”. All are great and would enjoy your reactions to all of them.

[@commonconservative3724]

See you on black pegasus and i liked your commentry there so im here for ya brother love from England

Dear God, To be a Man by Dax is a MUST DO!

Forgot to add this in my last comment, "American Flags" by Tom & Adam is also 🔥

[@chrishuffaker6943]

Loved the reaction!

[@Alien64E]

I was going to say I cant wait to see you get to (pick a song) but then you are like or this song or this song or this song, I will just enjoy this ride! 🤣

[@Soulslayer1229]

My man Joe E, you have got to do a reaction to Dax "To Be A Man" it is going to hit you deep in the feels. "Dear Alchohol" and God's Eyes are going to blow your mind lyrically.

[@kelliej200]

Great reaction. Loved seeing your point of view. #hangovergang

[@springrosenbaum3923]

Love your analysis!

[@gregory6592]

Subbed for your breakdown of Tom and Nova's work. #HOG UK #NovaRockafeller #DAX said it was a two day shoot - two different locations

[@VaHobbyFarmMom]

New video comes out tomorrow

[@jenevon1]

I was waiting for you to do this one! Nice reaction! You should check out American Flags with Tom and Adam. Would like to hear what you think some of that video!

[@dirtyboynews7975]

Yeah definitely would like to see him do some Adam Calhoun and some Upchurch maybe even some old jelly roll and some struggle Jennings jelly roll & struggle Jennings fall in the fall not for just a videography for the lyrics and music I think you would love it

[@Lilbitm24]

Get ready 🔥❤️

[@TattedTom]

Depression by Dax. You should do a react to that ! Keep up the good work my man

[@424stormygirl]

Nova is so amazing but the VXF is done by Jared Potter a friend of theirs not all of it but the more techy stuff the lighting and directing is all Nova though. I just think he should get the credit he deserves too. She "Nova" said Jared did all the glitchy stuff, She is learning a lot from him and doing more and more of it herself. # He does alot of the VFX but Nova does the majority of it. He also did the VFX on Dirty Money, Riot, End of world and a few more I think. All 3 of the guys are amazing also, Tom coming in with the stereotypical white people shxt, then Adam coming in with the Chicago tuff white boy Shxt and then Dax comes in with the Black people shxt side of things and brings it all together we are all just people and its all the same stuff but we like to label and separate people by color. Just as a side note Tom and Dax have been friends for years and have done 3 video together including this one, but this is the first time they actually met in person and filmed one when they were all in the same place at the same time. Also I love that Dax shouted out Tom saying that he's been fkn with Tom since before Tom blew up and got cancelled for speaking out on (uncomfortable subjects ) not a lot of signed artist are ballzy to do that and I love it. Great reaction and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your reaction videos! #HOG4LIFE #ACAL #Thats Dax #NOVA love all these guys!!

[@jasonwoodruff8349]

You should really check out Hey You by Nova. See what she is truly capable of behind the mic as well. Her and Tom are truly the power couple we have not seen in generations. #HOG

[@mom2cnl]

I can’t wait to see your reaction to Tom’s Best Rapper Ever-Nova killed it! ** Just found it! Click

[@briang6815]

If I'm not mistaken, it's Eminem's "The Way I Am" track that you refer to.

[@nimroddiaries_]

Love reactors with creds... getting lost in the video. 😂 #hangovergang 🤘❤️🙏

[@garymoxley4300]

Another great react.!!!

[@jessicaw6930]

You definitely need to check out more dax, he is great too and has powerful messages

You really should look in to Dax and Adam both are very good I’d also suggest demun jones - new subscriber here look forward to your content!
