Tom MacDonald

Biography

Thomas MacDonald (born September 21, 1988) is a Canadian rapper, singer-songwriter, record producer and former professional wrestler. He is known for commenting on social and political issues in his songs. His music has been characterized as "MAGA rap", a Trumpist subgenre of political hip-hop.
He rose to prominence with the release of his 2017 single "Dear Rappers×Dear Rappers11 August 2017 · SingleSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 1 track1Dear Rappers3:19". His 2021 single "Fake Woke×Fake Woke29 January 2021 · SingleSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 1 track1Fake Woke4:12" marked his first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100. His 2024 single "Facts×FACTS26 January 2024 · SingleSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 1 track1FACTS3:20" (featuring Ben Shapiro) debuted at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 42 on the Canadian Hot 100.

Early life and wrestling career

Thomas MacDonald was born on September 21, 1988, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. During his childhood he lived in Mission, British Columbia. When MacDonald was 13, his family moved to Alberta.
MacDonald had an exposure to politics at an early age. In an interview with PragerU, he said, "My dad and my grandfather were huge into politics, primarily American politics." MacDonald added, "My grandfather was a huge patriot, and I used to sit on the end of his bed, and we'd watch the news."
MacDonald fell in love with hip-hop as a child after buying a Tupac CD at a pawn shop. Years later, one of his peers showed him an Eminem song while they rode the school bus together. It was MacDonald's first time listening to a white rapper and it inspired him to start writing his own rap lyrics. MacDonald briefly worked in construction before starting his professional wrestling career.

Professional wrestling

During his teenage years, MacDonald worked as a professional wrestler on the Canadian independent circuit, most prominently for the Edmonton-based promotion Monster Pro Wrestling (MPW). He made his debut in February 2003, in a dark triple threat match, which went to a no contest. Throughout the year, he would begin feuding with Bobby Sharp, after another dark match also went to a no contest. The feud concluded in December, when MacDonald defeated Sharp in a triple threat match, which included Brady Roberts.
By 2005, MacDonald was a member of the Custom-Made Renegades stable, led by Sharp. In a tournament for the newly created MPW Tag Team Championship, MacDonald and Sharp defeated Kris Knight and Shane O'Ryan, but lost to eventual winners the Dead Ringers in the semi-final. MacDonald and Ozz defeated the New Stallions in a #1 contender ship match for the tag team championship, but he and O'Ryan fell short to the Dead Ringers. Later that year, MacDonald unsuccessfully challenged Sharp for the MPW Junior Heavyweight Championship; the first match went to a no contest, and the second match saw him win by disqualification, but not the title, as it does not change hands in the event of a disqualification. In a hardcore match with Sharp, MacDonald brought a 9 iron golf club which almost tore off his right earlobe by ricocheting off a turnbuckle.
After sustaining a number of injuries, and with his appearances in professional wrestling dwindling, MacDonald began to focus more on his music career. His final match was at an Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling (ECCW) show in November 2009, where he was defeated by the Divine Prophet.

Influences

MacDonald has cited the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, Marilyn Manson, Tupac Shakur, Eminem, Aerosmith, GG Allin, Kanye West, and the Offspring as musical influences. His music often discusses controversial social and political topics in the United States, and around the world.

Public image

MacDonald has created a significant online presence among right-wingers, becoming one of the most prominent figures on the "MAGA rap" scene. Writing for Vice, Drew Millard described MacDonald as "turgid", and wrote that he rose to fame by "taking the undercooked platitudes of the Intellectual Dark Web and filtering them into songs", adding that he "can feel like an unstoppable force of reactionary dumbness". Ariana Thompson of Inked described MacDonald as "one of the most divisive personas hip-hop has ever seen" and wrote that his right-wing fanbase "cling[s] onto every word he utter[s]". In a Rolling Stone profile, MacDonald said he wants to "show people I'm not just some brainwashed right-wing zombie." For the Dallas Observer, Garrett Gravley criticized his songs as "white victim complex anthems" and wrote that they gave him "status among zoomer Trump supporters as an oracle of sorts".

Political views

MacDonald has seemingly criticized abortion several times in his music.

Personal life

After struggling with alcoholism for many years, MacDonald had what he calls a "bad breakdown" in 2016 that prompted him to spend nine months at his parents' house self-rehabilitating. During that time period MacDonald began making plans to move to the United States. A few days after finishing rehabilitation he received a call from his immigration lawyer to let him know that his visa had been approved, and less than a week later MacDonald moved to Los Angeles County, California.
After moving to Los Angeles, MacDonald reconnected with an old friend and fellow Canadian rapper, Nova Rockafeller. The two began dating and moved into an apartment together in the Crenshaw neighborhood of south Los Angeles. MacDonald described him and Rockafeller's living situation in Crenshaw as "grim", saying that they lived in poverty which caused them to struggle to pay for both rent and groceries, and that their house had leaks and a roach infestation. Fortunately, according to MacDonald, he began making more money following the success of his song "Dear Rappers×Dear Rappers11 August 2017 · SingleSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 1 track1Dear Rappers3:19".
