CRYPT REACTS to Tom MacDonald - "Cancer"

Man this one cut pretty deep. How are you guys feeling about this one?

"I don't like the hook, but forget that this isn't a song it's a message."
FACTS

When I was 11 years old I was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. I received a heart transplant 8 days after I was put on the donor list. I had my heart transplant on January 8th 2002.
I was told that I would be lucky to make it past 25 based on my other health issues. I was told I would need to be on medication for the rest of my life to keep my body from killing my heart.
I have been without my medication for almost 5 years now and I feel fine. I respect the medical field because it is something we need. However I do believe that some doctors have no idea what they're talking about.
I am about to embark on a journey which has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid.
Finally at 30 years old I bought a van and I am turning it into a mini RV. I am going to try to tour the country. Something I've always wanted to do. I am working right now to try to save money to get solar panels and batteries and everything I need to convert my van into my new forever home.
God bless and stay safe everyone.

Not even gonna lie I couldn’t make it all the way through this. Lost my Pops to cancer 3 months ago and I still struggle everyday. He was my best friend. From the time we found out until the time he passed it was only two weeks. Didn’t even get the time to wrap our heads around it. Even tearing up just typing this. I’m sure once I can sit through the whole track it’s really gonna help me out.

My mom has terminal cancer, my dad died of lymphoma 5 years ago. Songs like this tug at my heartstrings.

First time my opinion differs from yours brother. Tom's hook is fire. It's a sledge hammer to your heart. Tom's hook is fire.

This song is so touching. Full of emotions. May thy man upstairs be with everyone.

I thought the hook was perfectly appropriate for this heart wrenching song..

Do people that don't like the hooks, just not like pop sounding music or something?
The hook is great lol

You're crazy. I LOVE the hook lol. Love this song period for real.

Makes me cry everyone ...lots of love to you amazing crypt an big hugs ...Tom an Nova are absolutely incredible ...fekt this one love an God bless x

This hits me in my gut so hard because on my daughter's first birthday she had to have emergency brain surgery to remove 3 tumors one of which grew around the main blood vessel on top of her little brain . she came out of surgery fine and recovered then a year and half later my wife found out she has stage 3 cervical cancer . my wife and daughter is so strong and inspiring , but it hurts my soul knowing there is nothing that I can do for my wife it tears my down as a man breaks my back and makes my knees weak watching her hurt. When does it stop , when does it go away? Im very lucky to still have my wife around us and my daughter just celebrated her 5th birthday and growing like a weed. Sorry for the long text #Crypt

I actually had cancer and was diagnosed when I was 2, it never has really affected me personally but every time I think about how much I must have scared my family when they found out it really makes me feel like shit. I know it wasn't my fault I had cancer but it still sucks knowing everyone around me had to worry over something that I had no idea what was.
I'm about 17 years old now and am cancer-free, If anyone out there is going through something so severe and you don't have much hope, just know there's always a reason to fight. I know it might not sound like much coming from a random kid on a youtube comment section but we all are here for some reason, our time here is limited but our impact is eternal.

This hit close to home. I witnessed this when my older sister got cancer. She was 21

My roommate and family by choice. Has three forms of cancer and just got a new disease. Now has less then 2weeks left. So my heart out to all else who struggle I know it's been rough on me. And I have to stay strong cause its been even rougher on those around me. My heart and hopes go out to all.

The message is what I've heard a lot of people say when they or their close ones are affected. I think that the hook may be more unexpected for some, because their expecting a more aggressive hook, but when listening to the overall track, he's placing something that is more uplifting and positive among the shit of the situation that people experience once cancer shows up and messes with their lives. Of the people I've know that have survived, they maintained a positive attitude and it seems that was much of what helped them fight. Had an uncle that survived it 6 times, different strains. The 7th one he was done fighting so it won.

To everyone out there who is going through health problems and general problems never give up ❤ my heart goes out to them life is fucking hard sometimes. Love

I lost my best friend last year to cancer, he was 13 years old and had been battling it for two years before passing away a week before I was due to go back to the school I met him at for year 11 (Last year of secondary school in the UK), he was a basketball player and I got the pleasure of that same year playing for the team he played a majority of his playing days for.....RIP Andrew bro
Love the reaction man, keep it up

This song hits home for me in a big way, I cried when my daughter first played it for me. I lost my father in 2000 from mesothelioma (cancer from asbestos) just 5 months before my daughter was born, last year my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer that's hereditary (which she beat, thankfully) and I just lost my half sister on April 1st this year to pancreatic cancer. Tom MacDonald delivers such a powerful message for this one.

I loved it. I am a Cancer Survivor. So I appreciate Tom for making this video. 🙏❤

Mad respect to you and much love brother for reacting the way you did on this song! God Bless! 🙏

I just beat stage 2 cervical cancer. This dropped while I was being treated.
Tom MacDonald deserves the world!

Being a lucky cancer survivor myself. Having just finished my chemo treatment a few days ago, I got in my feels hearing this song. At 17, I was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on July 16, 2018 and was scared shitless when I found out. I can’t imagine how bad my parents felt and the roller coaster of emotions they had through my treatment. I am now 19 turning 20 in October 30th and am thankful everyday.

Crypt I’m so sorry about ur family an I’ve been a fan for years and I know you have been going through stuff but stay strong man 💪 much love

A good friend of ours 12 year old son has a rare type of brain tumor. He is always in and out of the hospital going through treatments, blood work, etc. They need to come up with a cure or release the cure if they have found one

I thought the hook was perfect for this song

I bawl every time I watch this...did same when I heard it on the album. That hook is beautiful...it is for those losing hope, who feel too tired to fight...its beautiful...its for those who are afflicted. This may be one of his most important tracks. He cannot help but to try to lift others up...shield them, defend them, comfort them. that is who Tom Macdonald is. I will never stop loving him. His heart is one in a million. thank God he has a platform to reach out on.

I know this is late, my guy, what can I say? I get there when I get there. I loved the idea of bringing your pup into the reaction the way you did. It was very real for you, and people who think "oh you can't compare the two." it's only because they've never experienced something like that. Many of the concepts Tom talks about here apply to my situation and my Epilepsy fight. I empathized with it so much because of where I've been with my battle, some might not feel it's "right" or whatever but don't apologize for having that feeling and that battle and sharing it with the people that watch your stuff, man, they get it. Thanks for opening up. Keep doing you, dude.

I've been looking at this since the 90's... my grandmother passed from pancreatic cancer. @ WATCH & LEARN what Tom was singing about. A WORLD WITHOUT CANCER

Lost my Mom to Cancer last year. Still hurts.
This one hit different. 💔💔💔

7 1/2 yr lung cancer survivor here. Dude, I cried. When I was diagnosed--you would be surprised how many of my "friends" disappeared--just when I needed friends most! NEVER EVER abandon us--we need you! My Daddy died of the same lung cancer I was diagnosed with. I am also a nurse. The more my Daddy needed me to be a nurse, the more the little girl in me came out because I kew my Daddy was dying and I couldn't help. I consider myself a chemotherapy survivor...first treatment almost killed me--don't remember the 1st 3 days in the hospital. Never listen to the time table they give you. They gave me 5 yrs, I beat those odds so far. The chemo and other treatments are outrageous. My hubby and I had to file for bankruptcy--now, it's all I can do to keep my home and get food! The part when mom climbs in bed with the daughter killed me. When my Daddy was dying, I curled up behind him and held him til he breathed his last breath,

My bio dad got throat then brain cancer. I was lucky enough that the nurses let me take my son his first grandchild bc they only gave him weeks and he was in icu. He was absent all my life but when he looked at my son. That look of proudness and love. I will always remember that.

you should collab with tom macdonald, that would be sick af

This one hit me hard. My mother got cancer this year. Sarcoma. So rare they don't even have stats on how well it reacts to different treatments. Well, the tumor grew from 2cm to 19cm between February and may 14th when they removed the tumor. Well, 6 weeks of driving her to and from radiation (2 hours one way) along with working when I am not driving and we find out it moved to her lungs. Now they are looking into experimental chemo to treat the 4 large tumors in her lungs. Not ashamed to say I am scared I am going to lose her. She also thinks it is over by the way she is going about getting her will and estate in order. So this song.... and the timing of it... it hit hard.

Coming from myself. I have lost my father and my father in law both to cancer. Within two months of each other. This is a great video but damn did it hit a hard spot for feelings. Loving your reaction videos man keep it up

This song hit me hard. I cried like a baby.

I lost all of my grandparents to cancer. Two uncles just went through it, lost 2 aunts to cancer this year. I myself had cancer at 26 diagnosed the day my grandfather died from bone cancer. It runs through my family on both sides like water.

I just had two of my grandfathers pass from lung cancer in July and August. This song hits different

Best reaction youtuber

My granny had lung, throat an skin cancer when she passed away. And it’s just hard

Deep

Shit hits deep! 3 years ago my mum was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and being the only child was rough looking after her at the age of 13, I cooked, cleaned, managed bills at that young age! If it weren’t for me she would be dead right now. Last session of chemotherapy almost killed her and she got sepsis. She is now 1 year in remission and has been given the all clear!

His music is real! The most truth spoken in music. Not beating around the bush. Not sucking people into the evil of drugs and money. Never heard anything like it.

I have watched it over and over, I cry EVERY time, most of my family and friends have had it, died from it, died from complications of treatment or loved someone with this horrible disease.. This is a beautiful video and song.

Here early for this one ur awesome crypt love Yea reaction tom always has the deepest songs there so much emotion in this song

i really loved this song when it dropped and i'm glad you reacted to it

Tom is a legend

sorry about your dog and i hope your family stays healthy, prayers! Like the video, much blessings!

that hit hard DAMN!!

i lost allmost my entire family to cancer, only got my mom, dad and brother left. i havent been to a doctor in 6 years and i refuse to go as long as i can. i dont wanna know if i have it or nah and like you said crypt, i also dont wanna know how long i have to go. if i die, i die but i'll make sure i made the best out of my life up and till that point. i dont want kids, dont want them to be sad over me. i got a gf that is thinking exactly the same as me and friends ... a handfull real and loyal friends, cuz i dont want the rest of the people i know to cry over me. this song is an emotional rollercoaster of what i went through and of what i absolutely hate about medical healthcare ( im not from America )... so much money spend and yet no solution given. great vid dude!

I just watched lets play videos on “that dragon, cancer” last night and balled my eyes out. Then I see this. Very strong video!

This songs hits me so hard I lost my dad to cancer this year in March he was fighting it for 5 years he had sofagus cancer and it kills every day knowing hes gone I love this song

Ur Respect 4 Tom...Is giving me more respect 4 u Crypt...true story...HOG 4 Ever \m/

Tom the only rapper with a real message

This was really hard to listen to. I just recently lost my grandfather to cancer so this song meant a lot to me.

The hook is my favourite part haha

I feel ya.. I don't want to rott away slowly

i live in Canada and even with it being free I still lost my mom Dec 23 2012. Great review of the song!

I was diagnosed with a rare non Hoskins lymphoma that is uncureable last year and this song pulled my heart strings and made me burst into tears this song is my new favorite Tom MacDonald song

the hook grew on me with the growth of the song.

Tom can make me laugh and think, but this is the first time he made me tear up.

This hit home for sure, I lost my 5 y/o son to cancer 2 years ago🎗😔 #TEAMREID

I felt this on so many levels, between family having cancer and seeing them go through everything for it to not work or suffer from the treatment aftermath is just terrible.
Especially the line about the insurance. I've had Crohns since I was 15 and it's been really bad between failing several expensive meds, surgeries, stubborn insurance, and aftermath of treatments that have almost killed me several times, I feel for those who go through those situations having still dealing with those issues. And family dealing with those issues with cancer are 10x worse.
*I'm not saying Crohns is like Cancer, but saying the parallel with insurance, treatment, and those aspects is understandable*

I have lossed half my family to cancer.. I am 35 years old I have gone from 210 pounds A 134 pounds in 4 months.. They cannot figure anything out wrong with me until I got the phone call the other day and said they would like to take a biopsy of my stomach.. Where I have been complaining of pain in my stomick for about 5 years now.. Now they just want to take a biopsy just now scared to death.. Like I say Cantor has white my family out I have one family member left.. Which is my grandfather. I tried to Show the love I have for him every day.. I am a little scared of my test coming back I have 4 wonderful kids we are blended family.. Me and my wife are scared to death of what the test results are going to say just due to the history behind this.. Tom thank you for this song No matter how motion it is my grandmother is looking down right now and I guarantee she is blaring this song right now I know her like the back of my hand no matter how sick.. How much radiation they pumped into her.. She was a soldier.. 2 fought her butt off just to stay alive to meet her grandkids Thank gave her a year to live she wind up fighting it for 3 years. The day my little girl was born she looked at me and said I know it's time for me to go.. God has allowed me to see all my grandchildren I am happy.. The next day All the Sun she became a tremendous amount of pain she went to the hospital.. They said they would have to do a minor surgery and that we will be able to pick her up the following day.. 4 o'clock the next day I get a phone call from the hospital saying the surgery went well you will be able to pick your grandmother up tomorrow morning.. Something wrong I got the phone call on the way to the hospital to pick my grandmother up that she passed away.. You have to understand something my grandmother raised me I was diagnosed with dyslexia long time ago.. Back then I thought dyslexia was a form of retardation.. None of my other family members including my father.. Wanted me around.. I was made fun of because I could not spell.. But I Read at anybody's highest level.. Am I comprehension is off the charts.. Get a little carried away in this conversation.. Once again Tom thank you God has placed you on this Earth to do what you are doing keep it going.. I pray one day I will get to meet you.. That will be the absolute best thing that would ever happen in my life.. Besides meeting my wife.. She pulled me out of a dark rabbit hole.. I would not be who I am today if it was not for my grandmother and the women I met Which is my wife.. Tom mine in your life story Through your songs if we stood side-by-side We would almost be identical.. Just man thank you you are a genius I'm not just a fan.. You are a human being Also.. I guess what I mean by that is no matter how much money you have made you have stayed humble And real.. All I can say you're awesome and And Dang it man I was my wife could me Nova And I could meet you.. How your relationship is from what we've seen Is a lot like ours... I have left my email address several times I do not have Facebook Instagram all of that good stuff For certain reasons... Email address is brandenconstruction@gmail.com..

My cousin beat cancer a few years ago when I first starting doing MRIs to see what the growth on my brain was!
It’s not cancer or anything, they think it’s something caused by something like a fall, so trauma basically, or something to with seizure type activities like cordial dysplasia or whatever it’s called, but now my great uncle has liver cancer and heart issues
And the liver cancer has kindve spread
Praying for him and everyone else going through this horrible disease

Great reaction Crypt

Dude that songs make me cry every time.

I never want to know how long I have and I have been told before and I'm still here.

Hey great reaction man. This song hit home for me as well. My mom is a survivor of 2 cancers and she is the reason for my strength

My nana passed from breast cancer, and alot of people i know have it....the most recent one is my foster sisters grandma, it's in her liver and her stomach...she was told she has at least 2 years, at most 5....it hurts so much knowing that we might lose her, and that she won't get to see her grand daughter grow up

Tom will show up to show his love... watch. Great song. Loved it

So you n Tom are cool now???
Respect ✊

i lost my wife to cancer in September of 2020 I miss her every day she was only 35 and my better half she always said that in stead of having 2 kids she had 3 she gave me the best 14 years of my life i miss her so mutch

2018 I was dx with 2 primary cancers. Squamous cell carcinoma that spread to my bones and endometrial cancer. I was given less than 18 months. I have forgotten how many surgeries. Radation, chemo, immunotherapy, XGEVA just a few. Less than 1 % survival rate. March 2020 last surgery and now I've hit remission which no Dr can explain. I have about 2 years before cancer comes back is what they tell me. The worst part is you can't stop thinking about cancer even if you go in remission because they make sure to tell you since you had two cancers for so long another one is bound to come within a few years. If I knew I was going to be told that I would have made sure to them to keep that crap to themselves.

Dawg this hits deep my grandma passed away on Memorial Day from her battle with cancer. She fought a strong 8 years R.I.P lola Rose may your soul rest in paradise.

U and tom should make a song together

I like the hooks in this one. Its an inspirational part of an otherwise very dark situation.
And Bro I understand the dog thing. I don't have children but am damn attached to my dogs.

This one gut deep

Touching. Tom has great music

My son was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney cancer at 7 months old he will be 2 in Feb its been a long road but he's as strang as ever

Its not even the the money that is the problem if you're a parent you no what I mean death it hard for everyone but if you're a parent the death of a child is enough to kill who you are much love tom this is amazing great review

Man I actually loved the hook on this one. It took the song to a different level. I get where is kinda doesn't fit with the beat but man the message is so strong. Tom has a gift of pushing his message what ever it may be. Every word in the hook is so true. As i remember my family who have past away or who survived cancer they have a light about them that burns brighter in the dark. I watched two women in my life one who was a tank of a woman and one who was just a beast go from a picture of strength to frail little women. You would think as I remember them I would see the week state they left this world but I only see light and strength beyond compare. They may have lost their battle but my God they fought long and hard. When I remember their frail state I see pure beauty that is as bright as the sun. I show my daughters pictures of them and tell them the beauty of their strength. Man this song is just pure and honest and it speaks to you on a whole new level.

👌💪❤️ my grandpas beat skin cancer twice and we lost my grandma to breast cancer after she beat it the first time. This one is truth to the core.

U low key try to make your reactions so perfect

If you don't know someone that this topic has affected then you have been living under a rock and haven't ever been online. These are the types of songs that should be #trending and pushed as mainstream rather than the junk that is pushed to kids and adults from their televisions. That is why I only really listen to independent music and journalists. Its the Tom MacDonalds, Upchurch, Crypt, ACal, Mesus and Tim Pool, Jack Murphy, Adam Crigler type people who seek the truth and are willing to have tough conversations we need more of this not less

boy that one really hit home

That room is fkn dope

*_You should definitely react to Coronavirus by Tom Macdonald as well._*

I gotta say, this is one of the only songs that brought some tears up. I'm strong enough to admit it.

This one hit home cause my niece got diagnosed with brain cancer when she was 9 it will be 2 years in December she beat cancer but they did a test to see if the cancer was coming back an it cause her to have a stroke and she passed....this song just hits hard man

You might have liked the hook, but i thought it was perfect. It was very powerful and uplifting. Thanks for the reaction crypt.

Tom your words are very powerful. God gave you a gift. No one is right or wrong in God's eyes.
But you put the words out there like a sword. To pierce a heart.
God bless you with knowledge all I can tell you is be you, do you.
Thank you for sharing that. God bless you and Nova y'all do an excellent job. God bless
😢😢😢😢💘

Art of Truth

My brother had cancer... he kinda knew it but didn't have insurance and had little income so he didn't go to get it treated. At the age of 25 his new wife twisted his arm, convinced him to cry charity.. and it turned out he had Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Luckily it was treatable and he's a Grandfather now. If you suspect something is wrong.. check it out.. don't kill yourself by not trying to save yourself.

This song hits home, just lost my boyfriend's brother to throat cancer, and my step son in law has 6 months max to live do to liver cancer. He is all ready on hospice.

This channel is growing congrats all respect to Tom macdonald he's a real one

I liked the message that this spread. My grandma had a dog that passed from bone cancer and that was a sad day for all of us. I wasn’t really feeling the hook at first, but it definitely grows on you unlike most of Tom’s other hooks that I consider to just be bad. But, I’m not being much of a critic here, cuz this hit many people emotionally and I’m not taking that away. More power to anyone who enjoys this song and a huge apology to anyone who’s lost someone important to them from cancer 🙏🏻

Brain cancer just took my cousin 3 days ago :( I dig the song. Thanks for turning me on to it crypt.

If you dont know when its your time, you live longer!

I think the hook is beautiful, powerful, uplifting... Tom has a way of reaching our souls and I love the man for it❤️
