I'm not sure that we would disagree on anything at all, if you had a little more insight into him and could see the full picture. Music may be subjective, but good character, authenticity, and the value of speaking the truth shouldn't be. I am judging him purely on those three things, and not the music itself.

You're totally right about the music industry, and everything said in the video you linked about the industry is true. I haven't listened to any music produced by a artist that is a part of the industry in over 10 years now, because it's all plain terrible.

That's why I'm so glad that I found Tom MacDonald, who's a breath of fresh air. His music is literally the first rap or hip hop that I've ever been able to enjoy in my whole life. His message caught my interest, but discovering who he actually is turned me into a fan overnight.

The mistake you're making is assuming that because the entire music industry is that way, he is the same. I have serious doubts about that, because I have yet to see anything which would give me reason to suspect it, and many things which point to the opposite being true.

It seems counter-intuitive, but the style of some of his dark music videos along with personal attributes may act as a necessary filter, and helps keep many horrible people away. You have to value his underlying character and message enough to see past the superficial things, which many won't be able to do. It's not unlike the nasty things people say on this site. If nothing offensive was said, this place would be full of mobs of angry leftists trolling and attacking every post and comment, just like anywhere else on the internet.

Not sure how much you know about his personal life, but he's been through some really tough times, and surviving that changed him and ignited his conviction to spread the truth no matter what.

He's always been totally independent. He rejected the industry at a great cost. He could have been an overnight success backed by a label, but he decided to fight back against the industry and establishment instead. His songs and music videos are mostly produced by just him and his long term girlfriend.

Not sure how much you know about his girlfriend, but here is one of her songs, which also gives a little insight into their relationship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VF7gCRhC1o

I find it intriguing that she chose "Rockafeller" as her stage name. It's a gutsy thing to do, and means they must have already known a lot about the elites more than a decade ago, when she chose the name.

He is open about hating the industry and other rappers, and for many of the same reasons that you do. That's why he gets so much hate, and also why he sometimes responds with a dark song addressing the haters. The entire industry wants to see him fail, but he has still built a very successful brand. He gets suppressed by all media, and has still built a huge fan base. His fans seem to generally be good people, since he alienates most other people.

The comments you'll find from fans on his videos are strikingly different from what you'd usually see from a rappers fans.

Here's an example of a live performance, where you can get an idea of the atmosphere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE79mG0_WtI

As for "Withdrawals", I won't deny it's cringe, and also not my kind of thing, but I can still understand why it was produced that way.

It's possible I've missing something, so If you know of anything that would point to him having ties to labels or any of their messed up shit, I'd love to see it! I suspect that if there was any dirt to find on him, it would have already been found and used against him by those who see him as a threat.
