What y'all think of all this BS? π€Sending lotsa love and big thank-you's to everyone that helped us these last couple weeks. If you wanna check out new album, do it here: vydia.lnk.to/TheBrave
Hey Tom I just realized you have Emily tated above your eye was wondering what's the background behind it not bashing you just wanted to know if it had any meaning
Sad part, it is not just the music industry but the whole system who picks and chooses not based on talent but obedience who gets ahead and who is the next big thing. Tom MacDonald in my opinion blows away most of the competition but because he is independent don't get the recognition he truly deserves.
Articulate, well spoken Canadian lad. I'm a 62 year old canuck and your lyrics run true to my values and concerns. Nice to see that someone uses his talents to spread a message of hope and open the eyes of the sheep.
I agree.. but it's gonna take a lot to open the sheeps eyes! They're way too brainwashed and don't want to change their point of view. And, yes!!! Tom is amazing!! I've been awake a long time :)
Just curious,do you enjoy the music style or did he win you over to it? Or still dislike it but love the message? Love seeing him reach all generations
You went up against Disney, and damn near beat them. You, and three others, just four of you, up against the ubiquitous monolith that is the Disney Corporation. That's impressive. Mad respect to you and yours.
This is literally what Your music has been about, corruption, censorship, horse hockey, rigged bs! You rock and don't need them. When you stand-up and fight, you win! You are writing and making history!
I just donβt understand. If he hates the βindustryβ than why does he care about being on their charts? To be fair, I think most people could have seen this coming. Itβs pretty widely known that if youβre the guy in your office that everyone hates, youβre fucked. You wonβt advance and you wonβt excel. Because you need to work with people. Including people you donβt want to work with. When you run around screaming βF the industry, itβs bad, itβs corrupt, itβs wrong.β What did you really expect???
Much love and gratitude from a 68 yr old rap despising woman who just heard you yesterday. I am hooked Tom. I pray that your words penetrate the brain dead among us and rile and motivate those who see the facade to rage.against the system. You are a hero!
Keep exposing the music industry manipulation. Youβre so articulate and and passionate about what you do and itβs infectious! Keep succeedingβ¦.. thatβs the biggest ππ»to those reporting the data and in control of those charts.
Iβm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that they call Disney βindependentβ; like, WHAT??? Are you serious??That is just crazy π. Anyway, congrats on the #1s we did get. Super proud of you, Nova, Adam, and all of HOG!!! Letβs keep grinding. β€οΈβπ»π€π»
Disney being on the independent charts is the most ridiculous thing Iβve ever heard of in the music industry. But with your physical sales not counting and still hitting that many #1βs shows your on top of the world right now dude. Makes me happy so many people are enjoying not only your music but your powerful message, congratulations to yβall for all the success, much deserved
@tommacdonald Iβm just going to say βDittoβ here, cause you said exactly what I was going to say. Disney?π₯΄ We love you all, really happy for The Hang Over Gang! Stay strong, donβt EVER stop being our voiceπ₯ππ€πΊπΈπ€π
I am 67 years young and I donβt usually like rap but your song βAmerican Flagsβ is so on point on what is happening to this country that I had actually purchased it on iTunes. Now I have never purchased music online before this week. I purchased Jason Aldeans βTry that in a small townβ and your song American Flags. I just wanted to support you and Jasonβs message. Thank you so much for reaching our youth and please keep enlightening them to the truth. May God Bless you, Adam, Nova and Jason for your voice of truth.
This is why I follow artist like Tom McDonald who aren't manufactured fake and phony slaves of the corporate music industry cabal. Keep doing you independently. F*** Billboard! We The People, GOT YOU!!!π―π―π―
Yes exactly! Independent artists are my favorites & they feel threatened bc everyone rlly resonates with Tom, the truth is out even if they wanna try to contain it, they can't.
"If we celebrate the crumbs, then it is crumbs that we are given". - T.McDonald π₯π₯π₯ Your music drew me in. Your strength of character seals it - fan forever. π
Much respect for you Tom , love the quote, itβs so very true. You deserve the recognition for all your hard work, dedication and for putting the truth out there, about the rigged music industry as well as all the truths you put out there in your lyrics. I believe your music has already reached the top of the music charts and billboard just needs to quit taking big corporate music labelβs dollars to have their artists represented in the top chart positions and put those who truly have earned there place on top. Keep doing what you do the truth shall bring you justice so long as enough of the people you reach believe in equality and justice for all . United we stand so we say. Letβs rally together people and show corporate America they canβt just throw us crumbs, while they take everything else for themselves. Letβs make an impact and show them and the world what is possible if people unite on a common goal.
What if i told you he worships lucifer? You are being fooled like almost everybody is until you do a research on him. Call me Kinfolk on yt did a great job at this.
So freakin proud of you! You havenβt got sucked into the matrix of the industry and for that I support and salute you! Your music is amazing and wise! So very proud of you and how hard you work. I think youβre amazing. Please stay grounded and real! Sending lots of love! β€oh and youβre so pretty π
He is controlled opposition. Wake up. Just because he didn't sign a contract doesn't mean didn't made a deal with lucifer. One eye symbolism in a bunch of his photos and video clips, hollywood tat on his neck, an upside-down cross tat near his neck, throwing the devil's horns in photos and in many of his video clips. Also he is posting like a freaking demon many times in those. Research to see for yourself!
The moment I saw the image of Encanto as Independent Number 1 I was like wtf? How? Leave it to Tom to provide the receipts. Disney can be classified as Independent? I find it awesome that The Brave came in at #4 when going up against a 97 Billion Dollar Company. However, it shows how corrupt and convoluted the Music Industry is. Congrats HOG on your accomplishments and those yet to come.
Holy crap you went up against Disney and still got up there????!!!! I'm so proud of both you and nova. I understand not celebrating but wow!!!! Rooting for you guys. Chu got this
Tom this is actually great news. You got number 1. They bent their own rules to keep you from getting their fake title that they made themselves. You don't need Billboard's number one... you need to make a new Billboard.
Congradulations, you deserve it. Another words because you don't grease anyones palm you get screwed. Your passionate and articulate and you fight for what is right,go get all you deserve.
Iβve been saying this for 20 years if you want to make money in the music industry become the company that takes the money from the talented person who makes music. Thank you Tom for the confirmation
The fact that you're not letting this go by as just another win but instead pointing out the b******* and keeping us in the loop is why you are so high on the charts, well along with the fact that you make the badass music that you do.. real people know real people
Noone outside the freedom crowd knows who this is. Want to know why execs won't take you serious? Look at your comment section. 99% of the world wants no interaction with that group of people.
freedom crowd? that is pure ignorance lol, he does way more than political music stuff (which some i like but not all, fuck politics,i like his other none political stuff more. its when i actually discovered him, but that's just me and my experience. so the freedom crowd is just ignorant. lol what execs WANT isn't in conjunction with what's accurate in a system with rules and regulations that is made to make us believe is true when it is obviously not. There isnt the equal fairness to all that system claims to be. its cheating other artists ahead and gatekeeping the rest. He's calling that out. it's not just for him, it's also for the many out there trying as well. and saying no one wants him killed your entire statement, when the sales, and numbers are there and his following etc. which hes been obviously super transparent about it. Not his or anyone's fault you possibly live under a rock, I mean its fine i guess you do you but don't mistake your ignorance as fact and dont speak as though you conclusively know 99 percent of people world wants no interaction. you speak and know billions then.
This dude is so disingenuous, bad faith, and dishonest. Every single thing he does or says is to get you guys mad as hell so he can make more and more money.
@@daveshouse8105 Go back and analyze everything he's ever said, including in this video. Ask yourself honestly, does he really care about truth or fairness, or is it more likely that he's telling his audience exactly what they want to hear so he can make more money.
Made me laugh when you said "this is how you rage against the machine", considering that Rage are The Machine, with their major label contract and 200$ a pop tickets. Thanks for fighting the good fight, we're with you.
I don't usually listen to the genre of music you create, however, when I stumbled onto this song and LOVED IT! NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
I have not been a fan of rap since the Sugar Hill gang in the eighties. I'm rapidly approaching my sixties, However I came across a short by Tom and was hooked due to his lyrics. The one that hit me the most was the system. I've learned about it 20 years ago and been fighting against it since then. I appreciate his work Immensely. I wish him the best and in my opinion, as an independent he is freaking awesome. Tom if you read this I offer you many many blessings and well wishes and great more success. I enjoy your work, keep it up. You're the first raper I've listened to period since then. Way to go dude.
Tom is such an authentic person. He deserves to be recognised and acknowledged for all his hard work. We all know this. Youβre number one to your fans whatever Billboard says π€·π»ββοΈβ€οΈππ»
So authentic he claims not to want to be part of the music industry then cries like a bitch that they aren't including him. AUTHENTIC LOL "The bibles just a book for people scared to be atheist" -TM "In God we Trust"-TM AUTHENTIC....
As a VERY small indie artist myself, I have much respect for what you are doing Tom. You've come a long way and do a lot for indie artists... You're truly our voice. Much Love π
I dig that you are keeping us in the loop. You are so articulate and captivating with what could be dry subject matter. Thanks for your transparency and being willing to educate the world on the issues with the " machine". Awareness + Consistent, deliberate, Action = Change
Well letβs be fair here; itβs probably far less βkeeping us in the loopβ, and a bit more βhello my fans I need you to rally around me and help me battle this injustice to meβ The βweβ language is manipulative and I donβt care for it. None of this has any impact on anyone other than Tom MacDonald and other artists in similar situations, and if he prevails there will be no benefit to anyone other than Tom and his crew. If he fails, no ill effects will befall anyone in the fandom, so that inclusive language is meant to manipulate people to rally around him. Just be honest and keep it π―- YOU are being screwed and YOU would like help from the people that call themselves your fans. Stop speaking in a way that suggests that a victory will be shared by all, because it most certainly will not be.
@@NightRogue77 Speak for yourself bro. If Tom gets screwed over, I feel screwed over too. And he literally just explained why music sucks nowadays. I hope his fans rally and help him because it would benefit more people than just Tom. Think of all the other artists that are great out there. They can't even get their foot in the door because of this
Uhh his music could be on the line just like heβs motivating attitude? (I doubt he will loose it but still) this isnβt a dry topic, you donβt make music so this doesnβt effect you ( no effect on me either but you get the point ig)
Facts . I've been a producer and mixing engineer for 18 years professionally (I work mostly with regional and independent artists but I've done plenty of major label work ) These are known barriers that in the past only have been over come by money or a familiar name and in the rarest of occasions hard work until the one of the first two happens. Its great to see a fully independent artist crushing it. Take The Music Back!
@@TBM_studios_ that guys full of shit. I wish they could say what corp they were dealing with. I can almost guarantee it was the one I worked for or one equally corrupt. Look d4ta collection is just as corrupt as everything else.
I was on the fence about this dude, but he has won me over. He stands for what "We the people" should stand for. Life is rigged, this country is in tatters, and the system is vulnerable, if we could stop arguing amongst each other and focus on the real enemy. The government counts on us being distracted and is scared to death of the thought of the people united.
I've loved Tom since I first heard him, my few friends loved him so I got really into him too. But actually hearing him talk, seeing that he's just as smart in life as he is in his songs, I'm 100% on the Tom side now, not for music only. But as a person as well. I barely like anyone, so that's a huge compliment from me.
Ironically there's a line in A Bugs Life that high lights that very thing but allot of people don't seem to get. It's when the grasshopper was addressing the others, paraphrasing, " if the ants knew they outnumbered us, we would be in trouble." Not sure if our country is going to collectively wake up and take itself back from the scum that's holding it down. Would be nice though.
Your fans know you're number 1 on their chart in their heart. Your music is getting the word out. I'm in my 60's and love your songs. Keep up the great work.
I respect that Tom isn't making a big deal out of the fact that to cooperate with Billboard, he got rid of "packaged" deals on his site. Like you used to be able to buy the CD packaged with a shirt and other stuff, he's done that every CD release and I'm sure it brings in decent revenue. With this album he had to remove that so as to help the "data collection agency" count the album sales. He lost out on cash doing that, and he's not even really complaining about it and that's legit. Don't see anyone commenting on it either so yeah.
This is so infuriating. The whole industry is rigged. I'm sorry tom. All I can say we love your music and I will continue buying it. HOGβ€β€Don't ever stop
Bro as a 50 year old Heavy Metal/ Death Metal vocalist I learned just how crooked and shitty the music industry truly is. I went through it in the 90's and I learned very quickly how to stay away from them and their money grabbing hands. Well Done !!! & I hope your success continues !!!
When I lived in Colorado, a local metal band Allegeaon gained traction (rightly so, Accelerated Evolution is one of the best prog metal songs second only to Persephone's The Majestic of Gaia), got signed to Metal Blade. Found them when MySpace was still big (I believe the CIA/NSA secretly bought out Tom to ruin MySpace to implement Facebook [U.S. Govt funded creation of]. They had to ask for donations, when their touring van broke down. The label was no help.
I was so excited for them signing{edit} with Metal Blade. I know now they were signed to be stifled and silenced. Global-Corpos tells society what society thinks they like.
@@justtime6736 Interesting theory. Not so confident in the alphabet soup boys having a hand in it, but stranger things have happened. Myspace definitely got neutered somewhere along the line. I don't see how a temporary hype train around an objectively worse version of the concept grew to be a global force. Remember how we used to be able to actually customize our pages? Like serious customization. You could put scripts on your page to load nearly anything from other sites, media players, and even whole ass games. Weird how we got less freedom and more surveillance.
@@trajectoryunown DARPA; Lifelog Lifelog -> Facebook No ifs ands or butts. Five Eyes have a strangle on private information. NSA's 'Prism'. I miss that customization. All the early webs had such. I've been on since AOL used 3.5" for their spam lol. God, geocities...
Congratz and kudos for all your accomplishments. You are achieving so many things chasing your dream. Most importantly you are sending out messages that many need reminded of and so many more that need to know what is going on in the world and how it affects us. Because you have a forever growing fan base you spread the word in lightening blaze speeds. Man, those eye tats are trippy af! π
Congrats guy's, unfortunately it's not just the music industry that's screwing the little people.....it's happening everyday in our own country, state,county and city... love all your music congrats again.
What does "screwing the little people" mean to you? We The People aren't little. They want you to feel that way, but overall most of us have common ground on many things as far as your absolute fundamental core values. They, being the government and media. The ones that are fooled by the manipulation, at least some of them just need to engage in proper conversation which is hardly a thing anymore.
You're exactly right, the system is totally rigged. You're fighting the beast, literally. They don't want to celebrate independent artists or recognize them. They want you to sell your soul, then they might put you at the correct spot on the chart. Keep fighting! We're all behind you and I'll keep praying. As a musician myself, as well as my husband, and my entirely family, I WANT to see you VICTORIOUS!
Not to belittle Tom and Adam's achievement(congratulations guys!) the fact that they were even to get number FOUR on a chart that is TOPPED by DISNEY, is absolutely mind blowing.
So happy to see this change. Grew up in NYC in the 80βs&90βs. I literally watched the rap industry go from creative and educational to outright violent and destructive. David and Goliath type shit homie. Your music is valid and now you Gucci my nizzle! π
The music industry totally SUCKS, they have no respect, they have no morals, they have no spine and are empty and hollow. Tom, Nova, Adam and co, you have my respect, my belief, my following and my love because your work and art is truly beautiful to hear and see. Your lyrics are exceptional and hit me right in my chest. Your delivery is amazing, your look is even better. You are all so incredibly inspiring and I thank God for your being. Thankyou for being brave and showing the world what a bunch of corrupt asses the industry TRULY is . POWER TO YOU ALL!!!!!!β₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈπͺπͺπͺ
I'm a 52 year old New Zealander who's never really been into rap etc etc , I have changed my mind,Tom you are absolutely awesome mate, I love your lyrics and your Truth... Long may you last...No Quarter.... peace to you bro
It's funny how a little racism mixed with ignorant conspiracy bullshit sure does seem to win over a lot of old (usually white) people who've "never really been into rap."
@@karlosvulture7707 nope, just trends and patterns. If you hashish to fall within those, well, I guess that's why we observe and study such things. I'm sure you're just the most special, complicated, deep, original snowflake that's ever existed though!
The industry is stupid you Adam and Nova deserve to be on those charts more than anybody and you guys doing it independently should be even bigger reason you guys should get to be on it love y'all #HOG forever
I Fucking Love this guy! Whenever He Talks about music and shit, He always says "WE". Nobody does that...Its always Me, Me, Me... I'm on fire, put ME out...MeMeMe You Guys are Killing it Canada is Proud of all of you!
Congratulations you guys! It's that fighting, don't take no for an answer spirit in all of us that is going to make any real change. Your music gives so many people courage, strength and drive to hold the line in this Bozo under the Big top world we all find ourselves in. We need to continue sticking together in order to face the real evil that is trying to take hold of our world. Thank you for all you guys do. Love the album! It has been in my CD player since I got it in the mail.
@aloevvπ€ also here we go with the vaccination status shaming again. I think you'll be happy to know the CDC finally recognized natural immunity as 92% effective and the jab as 45% effective. So enjoy your poison shot!! π
I got to give tom and everyone massive credit for fighting back. Itβs hard to not want to give up and accept youβre screwed. I hope his work inspires other people and makes a difference for future artists π
I have said before, your "style" of music isn't really my cup of tea β, but DAMN I gotta say I love what you are saying, and the MESSAGE behind your music. Really wish you and Adam were getting all the recognition you deserve, but that being said congratulations π on the album, you rock dude!!!!
@aloevvπ€ I am proud to be unvaxed. And I'm genX not a boomer. And as for the rest, why are you even on here? You're not a fan. So I guess you're just here to shit talk. And also, its people like you that are trying to destroy my nation. So unless you have something constructive to add to the conversation, why don't ya go cry in your safe space.
@@bgva4349 I hope when Tom has enough of Winning against the biggest corporations in the entire world alone, that he becomes the first independent President of the world too :D
I want Tom to allow myself & I to see the names so we can hug them with "My Smotherpillows". Their muffledscreams would be very soothing. We must be allowed to PURRRRRGE. {0.o} YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! πππ€£
Billboard is asking to hate or appreciate?, If you have to do what they want then there needs to be a count for anyone to be asking about anything of anybody's property and that's unauthorized access data because it's ur property and that's trespassing and breached privacy!!::::. :(:::::'''''. unless I am seeing it different from Hogg but that would be a question to ask till you get changes in the world since they are our historical entertainment and that's manipulated years ago just specifically by itself. Regulate on that if it wasn't for the good outcome. could be the cause of the problem, finding all true causes is how wars stop, ending in solution without any more causess negativeness.thanks Tom, amen we salute you brother
@@MAGGOT_VOMIT i think its MRC Data In December 2019, Valence Media, the current parent company of Billboard, acquired Nielsen's music data business which is what MRC data was formerly known as
The awareness that this has spread is wild. Not that I thought the industry was 100% legit, but now other artists can join the fight. TRUE power comes from the ground up, not from fat wallets and deep pockets.
Iβm a 52 year old trucker , father , grandad and always hated your kind of music. You have changed my position completely. Iβm proud you folks have the balls to bring to the forefront some of the most controversial goings on in not just the USA πΊπΈ but all nations. New biggest fan π¨π¦π
You guys do a great job ! I as a 55 year old man say you guys reach even people that would normally be out of your demographic ! Keep It up ! Hangover gang for life!
So they don't know the definition of "Independent"? It's a damn shame that they don't give props to those who truly deserve it π’ But however I truly am proud of everything that you, Adam and Nova have done this far, so proud to say " I'm HOG family"
Have y'all noticed from all the pandemic lies we were told it's triggered people to start questioning EVERYTHING we've ever been told! The rabbit hole of lies are surfacing and it's about damn time! Corruption, Lies, Control, Greed, Power and the Love of Money is not only in every industry, it is seeping into every facet of our society!!! Y'all are killing it with TRUTH!

I freakin LOVE this guy & he's made more of an impact than he even realizes. He will show up with torches & all of us behind him to these freaking companies if we have to.
Tom, Adam, and Nova you all are the βWe The Peopleβsβ CHAMPIONS! My hat goes off to you all for all that you do. I admire what you guys are doing to bring light to all of us in these dark times. You all truly stand for what it means to be an American!
This is exactly why AMERICA was founded! To be free from control and to do what you want to do and live how you want to live! The government says, 'Oh no, we need to make this hard for anyone who doesn't do it how we want them to. Even though we do it how we want but we have the power, money and control. Do what we say not what we do.' I say forget that! Tom, Nova, all your friends and family keep it up; you never let us down so it will be our duty to never let you down! That's what being an AMERICAN is! God Bless Everyone!
Tom i just wanted to say as a 29 yr old female fan from NY that i am so so so proud of all your accomplishments i know what its like to have the highest of standards for yourself that youd never impose on someone else but its like we know what were truly capable of so we are especially hard on ourselves. I love your quote about the crumbs because its too true! Fuck the billboards ive been watching your youtube subscriber count rocket the last 2 weeks!! You literally went from 2.96 to 3.01 in days i was so happy! Keep doing you bro the world is supporting you! Remember- when the big guys start trying to block you and hold you back it just means youre making such a big dent in the world that is scaring them!
They donβt want other artists knowing they can accomplish greatness like you boys are doing it without that label taking a cut for themselves. And they want to control the messages to the people!!! Great job brothers keep putting it to them πͺπ
Screw labels, producers, and recording companies. You keep going as you have been, and the fans will certainly grab the music faster than anything. Sincerely, a new fan of your music.
Absolutely! I don't hate them for it tho. Many of those bands told their story later about how they were fools and that "deal" was a chain, or how it immediately put them in debt and basically "slaved" to that label unless they went to court. It used to be featured in Rolling Stone, but now they're the industry puppet rag. The ones that came later, that had heard or read the bad stories... they knew what they were doing and did the deal anyway.
@@TheMschick22 exactly. These days bands do it willingly. They decide itβs worth it for the short term fame,women, and fun it brings while on tour. They carry a false hope that maybe they can actually break free of the label/industry machine. But nah, not happening. You either play ball and do what your told or your out. Same story countless times from countless bands
Damn, maybe the President can have you write and give his speechβs. Incredibly articulate, didnβt rant and rave and call people names, stayed on track and had me hanging on every word. You could sit down in any corporate board meeting and absolutely smoke everyone at the table. Proud to be a fan of your music and even a bigger fan of your drive, hard work and character.
I am a 54 year old American woman and I love the way you take a stand for us! While I know you want to be recognized as number one on the Billboards, you are number one with us βWe the Peopleβ!

Hey Tom I just realized you have Emily tated above your eye was wondering what's the background behind it not bashing you just wanted to know if it had any meaning
Hey Tom, I love you and please reply
Awesome brother keep it coming they just mad you speak TRUTH
Lovin' the new album great job.. πΊπΈ
It's about time someone with a backbone in the music industry stood up.
Sad part, it is not just the music industry but the whole system who picks and chooses not based on talent but obedience who gets ahead and who is the next big thing. Tom MacDonald in my opinion blows away most of the competition but because he is independent don't get the recognition he truly deserves.
Calling Bad Bunny independent on those charts is like saying Michael Jackson is an underground up-and-coming artist...
I would pay money to see Tom pin bad bunny in a wrestling match

I agree.. but it's gonna take a lot to open the sheeps eyes! They're way too brainwashed and don't want to change their point of view.

Much respect for you Tom , love the quote, itβs so very true. You deserve the recognition for all your hard work, dedication and for putting the truth out there, about the rigged music industry as well as all the truths you put out there in your lyrics. I believe your music has already reached the top of the music charts and billboard just needs to quit taking big corporate music labelβs dollars to have their artists represented in the top chart positions and put those who truly have earned there place on top. Keep doing what you do the truth shall bring you justice so long as enough of the people you reach believe in equality and justice for all . United we stand so we say.

He is controlled opposition. Wake up. Just because he didn't sign a contract doesn't mean didn't made a deal with lucifer.

The moment I saw the image of Encanto as Independent Number 1 I was like wtf? How? Leave it to Tom to provide the receipts. Disney can be classified as Independent?

Noone outside the freedom crowd knows who this is. Want to know why execs won't take you serious? Look at your comment section. 99% of the world wants no interaction with that group of people.

There isnt the equal fairness to all that system claims to be. its cheating other artists ahead and gatekeeping the rest. He's calling that out. it's not just for him, it's also for the many out there trying as well. and saying no one wants him killed your entire statement, when the sales, and numbers are there and his following etc. which hes been obviously super transparent about it.

I have not been a fan of rap since the Sugar Hill gang in the eighties. I'm rapidly approaching my sixties, However I came across a short by Tom and was hooked due to his lyrics. The one that hit me the most was the system. I've learned about it 20 years ago and been fighting against it since then. I appreciate his work Immensely. I wish him the best and in my opinion, as an independent he is freaking awesome. Tom if you read this I offer you many many blessings and well wishes and great more success.

None of this has any impact on anyone other than Tom MacDonald and other artists in similar situations, and if he prevails there will be no benefit to anyone other than Tom and his crew. If he fails, no ill effects will befall anyone in the fandom, so that inclusive language is meant to manipulate people to rally around him.

But actually hearing him talk, seeing that he's just as smart in life as he is in his songs, I'm 100% on the Tom side now, not for music only. But as a person as well. I barely like anyone, so that's a huge compliment from me.

I'm an artist and I understand. Never surrender Big Dawg!!! Your's in the struggle
I respect that Tom isn't making a big deal out of the fact that to cooperate with Billboard, he got rid of "packaged" deals on his site. Like you used to be able to buy the CD packaged with a shirt and other stuff, he's done that every CD release and I'm sure it brings in decent revenue. With this album he had to remove that so as to help the "data collection agency" count the album sales.
He lost out on cash doing that, and he's not even really complaining about it and that's legit. Don't see anyone commenting on it either so yeah.

Billboard is asking to hate or appreciate?, If you have to do what they want then there needs to be a count for anyone to be asking about anything of anybody's property and that's unauthorized access data because it's ur property and that's trespassing and breached privacy!!::::. :(:::::'''''. unless I am seeing it different from Hogg but that would be a question to ask till you get changes in the world since they are our historical entertainment and that's manipulated years ago just specifically by itself. Regulate on that if it wasn't for the good outcome.
could be the cause of the problem, finding all true causes is how wars stop, ending in solution without any more causess negativeness.thanks Tom,
amen we salute you brother
@@MAGGOT_VOMIT i think its MRC Data In December 2019, Valence Media, the current parent company of Billboard, acquired Nielsen's music data business which is what MRC data was formerly known as
The awareness that this has spread is wild. Not that I thought the industry was 100% legit, but now other artists can join the fight. TRUE power comes from the ground up, not from fat wallets and deep pockets.
Iβm a 52 year old trucker , father , grandad and always hated your kind of music. You have changed my position completely. Iβm proud you folks have the balls to bring to the forefront some of the most controversial goings on in not just the USA πΊπΈ but all nations. New biggest fan π¨π¦π
You guys do a great job ! I as a 55 year old man say you guys reach even people that would normally be out of your demographic ! Keep It up ! Hangover gang for life!

You are so amazing Tom!! Keep your incredible music coming!!!

So they don't know the definition of "Independent"? It's a damn shame that they don't give props to those who truly deserve it π’ But however I truly am proud of everything that you, Adam and Nova have done this far, so proud to say " I'm HOG family"

Same comment as the porn page left.. youβre pathetic Tom
Have y'all noticed from all the pandemic lies we were told it's triggered people to start questioning EVERYTHING we've ever been told! The rabbit hole of lies are surfacing and it's about damn time!
Corruption, Lies, Control, Greed, Power and the Love of Money is not only in every industry, it is seeping into every facet of our society!!! Y'all are killing it with TRUTH!
Tom, Adam & Nova so much RESPECT for your work!!!

PROUD OF YOU TOM, KEEPPUTTING OUT #1's...we will fully support you 1000% !!
I freakin LOVE this guy & he's made more of an impact than he even realizes. He will show up with torches & all of us behind him to these freaking companies if we have to.
F the industry ! They know the truth Tom and keep exposing them ! Love from Chicago
Tom, Adam, and Nova you all are the βWe The Peopleβsβ CHAMPIONS! My hat goes off to you all for all that you do. I admire what you guys are doing to bring light to all of us in these dark times. You all truly stand for what it means to be an American!
This is exactly why AMERICA was founded! To be free from control and to do what you want to do and live how you want to live! The government says, 'Oh no, we need to make this hard for anyone who doesn't do it how we want them to. Even though we do it how we want but we have the power, money and control. Do what we say not what we do.'
I say forget that! Tom, Nova, all your friends and family keep it up; you never let us down so it will be our duty to never let you down! That's what being an AMERICAN is! God Bless Everyone!
In Heart we are all Native Earthlings...
Maddening and completely frustrating!!! π€¬
Tom i just wanted to say as a 29 yr old female fan from NY that i am so so so proud of all your accomplishments i know what its like to have the highest of standards for yourself that youd never impose on someone else but its like we know what were truly capable of so we are especially hard on ourselves. I love your quote about the crumbs because its too true!
Fuck the billboards ive been watching your youtube subscriber count rocket the last 2 weeks!! You literally went from 2.96 to 3.01 in days i was so happy! Keep doing you bro the world is supporting you! Remember- when the big guys start trying to block you and hold you back it just means youre making such a big dent in the world that is scaring them!

@@maga_skater4207 it just got it's channel and nuthin is on it. NUTHIN!!!!
They donβt want other artists knowing they can accomplish greatness like you boys are doing it without that label taking a cut for themselves. And they want to control the messages to the people!!! Great job brothers keep putting it to them πͺπ
You are exactly right!

As a Canadian 50-somthing PUNK from the 80's I am inspired by your music and your commitment to stand for truth and integrity!
Screw labels, producers, and recording companies.
You keep going as you have been, and the fans will certainly grab the music faster than anything.
Sincerely,
a new fan of your music.
The music industry has always been baffling. When I was a kid, bands strived for that record deal. Going gold (platinum) was the dream. But you could literally see the compromise on that 'platinum' label backed album from who they were before. They went from badass to blasΓ© in one album.
Absolutely! I don't hate them for it tho. Many of those bands told their story later about how they were fools and that "deal" was a chain, or how it immediately put them in debt and basically "slaved" to that label unless they went to court. It used to be featured in Rolling Stone, but now they're the industry puppet rag. The ones that came later, that had heard or read the bad stories... they knew what they were doing and did the deal anyway.
@@TheMschick22 exactly. These days bands do it willingly. They decide itβs worth it for the short term fame,women, and fun it brings while on tour. They carry a false hope that maybe they can actually break free of the label/industry machine. But nah, not happening. You either play ball and do what your told or your out. Same story countless times from countless bands
Damn, maybe the President can have you write and give his speechβs. Incredibly articulate, didnβt rant and rave and call people names, stayed on track and had me hanging on every word. You could sit down in any corporate board meeting and absolutely smoke everyone at the table. Proud to be a fan of your music and even a bigger fan of your drive, hard work and character.
I feel like quite a bit would be lost in translation. Going from English to Dementia really changes the meaning of the message.
Biden is NOT PRESIDENT he is nothing more than a RESIDENT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
@@dhoyda π yup! Plus, Tom would never write for Biden.
The president is a part of the same type of corrupt system. Tom is just shedding light on one single industry.
Trump doesnt need help. Biden is the Resident, only.
I feel your frustration Brother! Congratulations on all of your continued success! Weβll keep fighting the fight with you! HOG!!
I am a 54 year old American woman and I love the way you take a stand for us! While I know you want to be recognized as number one on the Billboards, you are number one with us βWe the Peopleβ! Not just white, but people of all colors and genders! What a way to unite us! π Never forget that it is NOT the Billboards that define you and Nova, but our Heavenly Father above! Keep up the GREAT work and remember, IN GOD WE TRUST!
As an independent artist myself this sings so true to me. Be the torch bearers and help fight the fight for independent artists everywhere! YOU GOT THIS TOM! H.O.G forever
This is what happens when you go against the industry. They will do what they can to kick you down. Keep kicking back and working hard, you guys are still kicking ass!
Sometimes these things have to happen to those who can and will fight it and to have it finally be exposed. Keep the faith and fight the good fight!
Absolute Kudos to whoever the tattoo artist was that did theπ²π² signs on your eyelids. And to you too, wow badass
This is the first real step in the right direction, MAD fucking props to you and yours Tom
NEVER SURRENDER
what about sad props
