If someone a few days ago had told me I would soon be listening to one rap song after another, well I would have laughed and said they were mistaken. I am indeed laughing right now but for a different reason – this old dog has learned a new trick! Tom MacDonald. This guy (and his HOG – HangOverGang) is absolutely amazing. (Genius qualities)!
APPRECIATED THE STYLE BUT NEVER A REAL RAP FAN
There were always a few rap songs that I enjoyed through the years because I can appreciate the emotional expression, but it just wasn’t my thing. Sure, absolutely, I have some difficulty understanding “fast raps” (apparently a learned ability because it seems to be getting easier), but this guy and his lyrics encourage repeated listening to get the whole message. Brilliant! Guess it is just a process like everything else. Anyway, just thought I’d pass on something new to me that is extremely encouraging (while simultaneously entertaining) – regarding what has happened to OUR AMERICA and the insane direction it is currently headed. I still have difficulty accepting the reality and seriousness of the situation.
Yup, this artist is completely new to me (I live in a an echo chamber remember? lol) so I don’t have a “total understanding” of everything TOM MACDONALD may, or may not, support and/or advocate….but so far (after listening to a bunch of his material) I have not heard anything that has caused me the least bit of concern. I especially appreciate his disclosures about his life which has shaped his career and defiant attitude. (THE ULTIMATE “DO IT YOURSELF SUCCESS!) Again, this guy is amazing as is his wife who produces his videos. (Nova Rockafeller a former famous rapper herself I just read.) Again…..forgive me if I misunderstand some details as I am new to this whole rap scene stuff and I’m rushing to listen to more! Seriously.
OLD DOG BAD HABITS
Funny, I’ve probably heard MacDonald’s music a number of times from other waiting vehicles in heavy traffic or at a stoplight and likely (and incorrectly) ASSumed it was just some more of that ANTI-AMERICA violent imagery stuff I heard in the past and didn’t care for the way it “left me feeling”. MacDonald’s music/beat/special effects/imagination AND INTENSITY – whatever – the entire package, left me feeling hopeful, stronger, more determined and confirmed I am not alone in recognizing the evil that has systematically been consuming America and OUR FREEDOMS behind the scene for decades.
(Sure we saw the individual pearls of legislation or laws that we thought defied common sense and were potential rabbit holes to more dysfunction but the potential ramifications in actual damage at the time appeared minimal and there were other more pressing and important battles to fight. Some excuse like that, yeah? Anyway, we now clearly understand each one of those single individual pearls has been crafted into a nice looking and expensive long string of deadly objects forming a garrote around OUR COLLECTIVE NECK and the left is attempting to apply the finishing torque to complete the planned suffocation.)
OLD DOG NEW TRICK
Yup, old dog – new trick – Seriously, because if I could have heard and understood the lyrics (of MacDonald’s songs while waiting in traffic) I would have tracked that audio blasting vehicle down just to find out who the artist was they were sharing with everyone so I could obtain some of the material myself! It feels like some part of me that has been AWOL for some time suddenly and surprisingly reappeared due to MacDonald’s lyrics and presentation. Difficult to explain but I guess a one word description would be encouraging.
Hope you folks can also override any potential preconceived ideas that might still orbit around “rap music” – especially for this particular performer and his message. Tom MacDonald. Sure am glad I clicked the music video link. Now I’m going to purchase some of his merchandise in support!
My best to you and yours, Lew
