What else should we react to? đ€ Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro support the channel directly & download my album âChaos Theoryâ now âđ„ www.knoxhillmusic.com
Let us sink in this one first lol, great job man!!
Eminem ft. Royce - welcome 2 hell
We're going to need a nap after this breakdown first.
Your reaction to Insane would be hilarious
@@anyman528 Another great collab is Em & Busta- Calm down, don't think Knox reacted to that yet.
The breakdowns are literally surgical đ„
FINISH THAT MAN, FINISH THAT, EYYYYY!!! đ„đ„đ„
Ayyy no 𧹠weâre blessed that nas and eminem are still blessing us with their music đ„ total respect
right?
#nolifegang in the house baby đ€đâ€
What up coach
Eminem's music is not just about catching bars or wordplay, he really craft his shit and if you have good ears you really enjoy all those aspects, this guy has those good ears.
Really appreciate those words man. Thank you for supporting đ
Thatâs why I watch knox cause he catches listens and breaks down cause me I get lost in tracks like these
" People like to trash my music by saying
Just because you can rhyme 100 words doesn't mean you're the best"
Well I care more about rhyming the words and creating schemes to perfect my craft than any of the accolade "
Thereâs a reason why heâs not only rapped and wrote all his hits he also produces almost ALL of them, dude knows MUSIC
He seriously does. I didn't hear Em's background vocals until he pointed them out. Only then each time it sounded clear as day to me. Had me kicking myself like how did I miss that after listening 7 times over? UNREAL
Some people caught this, but when Em is paying homage to the passed people, he was spelling EPMD in their first names. I recommend you to look back and check it out. What a monster.
That went over my head. The 7th time. I thought I was rite
Wow fair play to u mate for catching that haha fair fuckin play
This guy is a damn đœ
That would be the second time spelling out their name
Haha I love Eminem but naw he wasnât
This song feels like Nas is the Godfather and Em is the hitman and EPMD are OG hitters. This truly is a golden track
Exactly a great metaphor
This track is for the older hip hop heads and the true students of the craft. This is what we imagined a released Em & Nas track should sound like
Em shot out to the Pioneers of rap....he wants to be listed along with them. All the way to Cool J and Nas.
Eminem warned us on his last album
" So until the E. N. D
Like E. P. M D
I've been giving you the business
D. R. E and me
From M. M. L. P to M. T. B. M. B
today it's 20 20
You still ain't seen me"
So True we here ,but em be too humble but then again he be like that. massive respect
Word
@@brandonayong5823 nice catch.
Already watched 2 or 3 reactions to this, but I was waitin on the GOAT of breakdowns letâs go!
Ay appreciate those words đ Hope I didnât disappoint
@@KnoxHill no never my brother, huge fan here for a few years now. once again you caught it all. Great class today. stay up keep grindin!!
Never disappoint
And ima keep saying it
Knox and Stevie knight the goats đ đ
@knoxhill and @stevieknight are both #1 goats
@@stevegreen2607 agreed đŻđŻđŻ I also love king blitz
That line where he said âcall me big daddy, plus I got the cane and lean on meâ has like 4 or 5 meanings.
1. Big daddy kane had a song called rap summary which had a line that said âlean on meâ
2. Big daddy is another name for a pimp, a pimp has a cane and the girls lean on him.
3. Itâs also a drug reference to Cocaine and lean
4. A cane is something you lean on
5. Cane can also refer to a Candy Cane to fit in with the Christmas scheme he had earlier.
Eminem đ„
Em is always the greatest ever!!!đŻâ€ïžđđȘ
Straight from Ghana!!!.Em is the greatest songwriter and mc to ever do this shit!!! #STANâ€ïžđđȘ
That Rap Summary song is called "Lean on Me"
I loved Emâs bars!!! Iâm not a true Em fans but THIS I have a new found respect for his lyrical genius.
Also Kane had 2 dancers called scoop and scrap that always leaned on each other but wouldnât let each other fall, one of Nas verses on Book of Rhymes he said, âmy Nina Lean on me like Scoop and Scrapâ
Finally, someone with actual hip-hop knowledge that can properly break down lyrics correctly. Dope reaction my friend đđŸđđŸđđŸ
Yeah, go check out MrBloyd, he's got a lot hip hop knowledge too
And Stevie Knight
@@alexanderschwartz3018 has knowledge but isn't a bar breakdowner tbh. Knox and Stevie Knight are my first choices, and scriptwork
@@alexanderschwartz3018 I like Stevie, he catches bars. But too many times when OGâs are referenced he is clueless. Also doesnât identify the complex rhyme patterns.
for real
Most rappers are lucky to hit a double entendre in their rhymes, Em will hit a quadruple and itâll goes over most of our heads at the same time. Not giving this dude his just due, as one of the hip hop goats, is simply playinâ yourself.
I wonder after he stops making songs who would be the goat đ from the upcoming artists
@@gyaaAAaaaaaaaat Kendrick maybe. But heâs a different style entirely.
@@marcc.m.1726 i dont think kendrick is upcoming tho
@@gyaaAAaaaaaaaat yeah, heâs already an established artist so idk man đ€·đ»ââïž
@@gyaaAAaaaaaaaat em is probably staying for the next 20 years i hope he does đđ
I respect Knox opinion in rap because he raps, so when he says it's difficult, I believe him 100%
đŻ
Yes it is, and shout out to Knox he did a great job breaking it down, but if you want to understand how difficult Eminem's slow is I suggest you just get a print out of his lyrics listen to the song and try to read them even along with his own cadence, you'll find you'll find yourself a bit tongue-tied trying to lip sync đ
When he spits " R.I.P. out to DMX, Stezo, E and Nipsey , Ecstasy and Prince Markie Dee, MF DOOM,"
He is LITERALLY spelling out EPMD : E(cstasy) P(rince) M(arkie) D(ee)
Em is a fucking monster
It actually pisses me off how good his pen is. Like it shouldn't be possible, his pen is fucking insane
Also, about the spghetti line, Nas sets it up and em comes with the exact same word he does in Lose Yourself... "Ready'" (Calm and ready).
You see letters in red splatter is also homage to MTBMBâs album cover.
This is MASSIVE!!! Not just âAnother Trackâ! Literally these are Titans in HipHop on a track. They absolutely sodomized this beat đ„đ„đ„
Bruh Iâm waiting on the em album later this year cuz I know Nas will be on it
Second that...
Did not expect Eminem class this morning but morning is when you learn more so letâs get it Knox đ„đ„đ„ good job on the speed upload too đđœđđœđđœ
Best way to start the day đ
Still too late đ đ
Lauren Hill also gave us one of the contender for greatest verse of the year on this album
@@brandonayong5823 Nas really put her on The Pocket.
Legit, haven't even got out of bed now. Not sure if I will.
Nas gave Eminem respect. He let him go last. He opened for him. He let him change a beat and let him more seconds.
Nas and Eminem = GODS
Yupppp
Like you said RESPECT
haha that is not how it works. The best goes last and Nas knows his place when eminem is in the room
@@user-dy1tl8hg6t "Nas knows his place"
You don't know Nas to be disrespecting him like that
@@jbunit2 Similarly "Em knows his place" Nas is sometime rapping before 2pac's era and best lyrical ability ever
Em attacks beats like he was a drummer. He uses crazy poly-rhythms. Its sick.
This track is insane. Nas and EPMD were great, definitely and we cannot ignore them. But seriously, how does Eminem do this? He is just too good, he's definitely an alien. Crazy. He didn't let me down, this is even more than I expected. If I find more bars or doubles or something, I'm going to add it to this comment, thank you Knox for breaking down this amazing track
So, I caught two more things and I'm going to correct you in one thing, Knox. You really are the goat of breakdowns. So, when Em said that he has no L's, the L's isn't a homophone for Noel, which refers to The First Noel and that is a Christmas carol. Then, when he shouted out Big Daddy Kane, the "caine" is a homophone for "cane", which continues the Christmas scheme. And when he was talking about the reindeers, he said "rain, deer" at the end of a line, which is a homophone for "reindeer", you might have pointed that out, but I'm not sure. This track is amazing and Eminem outshined himself once again, and I'm sure it's not for the last time. I'm truly amazed
@@egirlscanruinmylife the "rain deer" line goes even a step further. Em says "that's a lot of bucks flying when I'm making it rain (rein)deer," like Santa's reindeer...I caught that too.
But this line is also Em talking about him making it rain "bucks," so he could also be making it rain deer (bucks). Considering he's also talking to "lady," Em says "that's a lot of bucks flying when I'm making it rain, dear," so he's talking about all of his money, while also addressing her as "dear". Em gives us three different connections to one line:
Reindeer
Rain deer
Rain, dear
He's taking reindeer, comparing this to it literally raining deer (in a figurative way), and also connecting it to making it figuratively rain (with money), dear. It's crazy how he plays with words so subtly dude
@@virbenav lady as in stripper
I haven't seen anybody else catching this, but the appellate/appeal/a pill thing, there's also a pellet as in shotgun shells (taco shells).
I heard him say something about pellets but not as it relates to shells.
@@Tcrror I did actually catch that and thought the same thing, but by the time Em mentioned "appellate," he had kind of distanced himself from the "shells" theme, so I wasn't as confident about that connection
I already know Knox will kill this reaction, in my opinion Em killed it
You know I had to do what I do on this one â
Jay z next song
" Eminem murdered you on your own shit"
đđđ
@@brandonayong5823 Once Em features, it is no longer your song.
@@brandonayong5823 Em didnt murder nas tho, nas did the best he could in his style while em got more time and can fit more wordplay in his verse cuz he also raps faster. I also think em sounded kinda awkward before the beat switch.
@@quentinh3140 if he got more time, couldn't he rap slower then? And you just said naz did the best he could!!!
I love the final comparison. I love both artists but it's just not a comparison. Nas is his own beast when it comes to his mind, poetry, and story. But em is also his own beast when it comes to his lyrics and flow. Just two greats on different fields.
Exactly đ
Em has all of those things, too, he just doesn't showcase it as often as Nas does.
I can kind of hear what people meant about how Em's infinite sound like nas.
PMD said in his verse:
âIâm mad, better yet Iâm on a RAMPAGEâ
That could be a reference to their song âRampageâ from their Business As Usual album.
It was and I'm Mad is also a song of the great EPMD. Good catch!
Dude this may be the best class Iâve ever been too, you should honestly get paid by your state for the service you are providing these people, 90% wouldâve never caught half of what you just did in one take. All jokes aside like you said this is what I live for Fr đŻđ„
Iâm almost certainly sure he heard this track 5x before breaking it down. Itâs too much to catch on one take like that. What gave it away was when he started talking about the beat. You canât listen and break down the lyrics while paying attention to the beat.
@@shroomgod1990 Agree. I always wonder that with reactors how much they study/listen before we hear it. To his credit he did it the day it came out so it was still pretty quick, but unless you truly do it when the song drops at midnight itâs hard to trust that it really is your first time.
When they have to rewind it a lot, that usually tells you itâs first time.
None the less he is good at what he does breaking ish down.
@@shroomgod1990 itâs first listen like he says I donât think Knox is the type of guys to lie to his audience like that heâs been real since start and you can truly see how passionate he is for the craft of mcâing. He does it like no other and knows his shit,the man is a nerd. I hear you and respect your pov, but knowing how smart this man is and having the ear he has is just too hard for me to discredit his word. If heâs listen to a song before he says it in the begging of every video so idk Iâm high asf so I probably put a bunch of random shit so donât listen to me.
@@byFlights i listen to his break downs there on point and make me understand the parts that went over my head. He understands the lyrics way better then i can. Im not a rapper tho.. For me i need to listen to A ''EMINEM" track 8x before i catch 90% of it. I just dont agree on the first take. And about the lying thing, well are we not in this the fake era, where everyone is a actor now and make scripted tik tok videos??.. Don't get me wrong i always listen to this guy and nolife shaq for eminem breakdowns without these breakdowns i wouldnt understand half of em's albums
Being a Stan is rewarding đđ em literally never let's us down
He never give us up
@@KUTOU-qi7jo your just assuming that
@@mateonelson3862 Im a big Em fan since he came out but i grew up on KGR,KRS One,Rakim,Big L,Pac,Biggie,Big Pun,Redman,Wu-tang,N.W.A,Nas,Black Thought Gangstarr and i love them all! Not all of Eminems big fans are blind to other hiphop artists. Still if i have to say who is the best i go for Eminem because he is so versatile and just does it all and makes it look easy. This is pure hiphop!
@ku12T as a Stan I looked forward to ems verse to see what he gave us and as a hip hop head I looked for to this iconic and legendary collab. Just because I'm an em Stan doesn't mean I don't respect the talent of other MCs especially people who thought em the game like EPMD (tediously, I wrote obediently, believing in me , EPMD must have had teaching degrees - Eminem last album B side higher ) , and NAS (who Eminem drew so much inspiration of ininfinite) just to name a few and that's only the impact these two legends had on EM, the impact they had on the industry is even bigger.
So revival & Marshall Mather Lp 2was fire huh? Eminem fans dickride too much.
The way this guy broke down each rhyme each structural element is exquisite.. one of the best analytical descriptions of an incredible song performed by all time greats .. props to the legendary emcees but shout out to the homie breaking it down .. well done
The "I got no L's" line -
- Got no losses
- No elves (dunno about this one)
- Noel is Christmas in French
goddamnit, missed that! he's so good
I think the no elves is no helpers = as in no ghostwriters maybe?
@@clotpole8071 I mean could be a stretch but yeah can be interpreted that way
To be honest though I can't hear the "elves", I think that's a bit of a stretch as it is
Noel is also another name for santa claus, something like "papai noel" in some latin languages
@@clotpole8071 em doesnt mess up like that. if it seems like elves doesnt fit its because he would have to ruin 2 other references to make this kinda fit. NOELS it the joke.
Collab of the decade . Dissected by our professor was waiting for this eagerly
I absolutely love the so called "new Em" much more than the "old one"
he has grown so much, incredible wordplay and doubles, triples, he is on the top of his game
Thought I was the only one who loves this new Em more....and I'm glad he became this Em while I'm 30 ..coz I wouldnt have understood half the shit he says if I was still a kid
Eminem has perfected his craft and is just showing off at this point.
He sacrificed music making for perfecting the MCâing
I love the new Em as well, itâs just about the craft and he takes it to a new level. He really comes with new techniques.
Facts. "New" Em is waaay better than "old" Em
The way you gave us a breakdown of this song....even my English teacher doesn't take this much of an effort in explaining any Wordsworth poem.
Em is a technical master class wordsmith, though it sounds like gibberish he just spits so fast linking sentences. Straight FIRE!!!
Nas is sublime, simply the greatest lyrical genius without the technicality. He has an endless reservoir of synonyms, the master class thesaurus professor of hip hop. The greatest lyricist my ears have ever heard, Nas has no equal!!!
Agree with all the praise you give to Nas and Eminem alike! But..there are others in that same elite category.
Without the technicality? đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Lupe Fiasco is the greatest writer and storyteller in the world.
"This sample is NASty"
I see what you did there!
Nasty Nas yo
Lol
This song is so hip hop. If hip hop doesnât have an official anthem, this one should be it!!! God I love this genre.
Dude Nas is always in the conversations of the greatest. His flow and cadence is just silky. Just so smooth. Titans on this track.
welllllllll.......Old Nas is always in converstaion...since he put out that dogshit "hip hop is dead" album no one even wants to speak his name.
@@user-dy1tl8hg6t u idiots are always talking about old this or old that, heâs great end of discussion, so is Eminem, old and new
@@user-dy1tl8hg6t Ur opinion is wrong
@@user-dy1tl8hg6t "I said hip hop was dead,but it fake it's death like macahavelli" Nas
If u don't get it
â@-sageaegis-292Em's cadence is light years better than Nas's one.
Thereâs a reactor that said the Godfather-garden bar might also mean âImma go out on my garden like the godfatherâ meaning Nas would want to perform for his last time on Madison Square Garden as he is the King of NewYork or The Godfather
Oh I like that
Whoa...
Honestly, I don't think this is even a "versus." They all built on each other and promoted each other. It was truly more of a collaboration than a feature.
Definitely agreed.
Agreed
Itâs not but we can still talk about who had the better verse
Agreed
@@nohomo9813 we can, which is just opinion at the end of the day though
Not only is Knox the đ of breakdowns but Chaos Theory is one hell of an Album. Enjoy this guy before he reaches the stars.
My favourite track on Chaos Theory is Murder in the Booth
I Worry About Myself is My Personal Favourite
Damn Knox the breakdown of every part of this rap is exactly why I love watching your breakdowns. The knowledge of all the shout outs, the sharp ear that picks up the instrumentals, and voice overs. We can see the passion and luv and respect, u show rap. The appreciate of beats, voices, lyricism, and your smile shows how hyped u are like we are to see these goats all together!!! đ„!!!
He reaches too much. I don't think he knows what he's talking about half the time. Only the artist would really know the meaning.
@@ebogar42 stop being a hater. its interpretation on some parts and yeah the artist may have a different message, but Knox understands the beat breakdown and how artists emphasize a message on a sound better than most. Compared to others he also breaks down almost each sentence, which most people don't even hear. He also interprets the song similarly to how I appreciate it and that's why I support him. If you think you could do better, do so. Post your perspective and it may be good as well. but stop hatin!
@@ebogar42 For the new rap shit, sure. But not with artists like Nas and Eminem.
@@RGutz81 I can't do better and not sure why I would waste my time doing this. This is his passion. Not mine. I just think a lot of the time it's reaching and it doesn't really mean anything. Thats not hating. Thats just my opinion. We're all wrong all the time. Only the artist truly knows why they wrote what they wrote. I agree with some of it because it's completely obvious.
@@ebogar42 I respect that u admitted u can't do any better, there may be times he is reaching, but I think for the fans who have q difficulty understanding the lyrics of artists it is nice to have a person that is passionate, as u said and can take the time to try and interpret what the artist is saying. It may be a reach or may be it is on point. It would be nice if he could do an interview with the artist at some point ans say is this what u meant. But for now, it helps to have people take the time and do these breakdowns and Knox in my opinion has a lot to say with meaning and knowledge about history in some of the reasoning why he interests it that way.
To add more to the Christmas scheme when he starts off by saying âI got no Lâs like itâs Christmasâ No Lâs is also (Noel) which in French means Christmas đ€Ż
Thatâs also what they cal Santa in spanish. (Papa Noel)
@@Adrian_Lopez_01 thatâs true. Papa Noel is Santa
"I got no L (Noël) like x-mas." Dudes done with English. Transitioning to French.
Facts đđđđ„
Lmao right! That passe by me. He's amazing
Just wow
These songs mean so much more when you actually know things about hip hop and know older artists. You're breakdowns are awesome.
Man my respect for you, your breakdowns, your music and your character increases with ever video still and Iâm a follower since you had less than 100k subs....i loved your humility in this especially âI donât even deserve to say this, youâre Knox Hill certifiedâ...that really showed us ur fans just how much respect you had for the mind blowin ish we just listened to....you da man and im so hlad you ended it with wjat u said....this was seriously history we all got to witness together
Em just flows so effortlessly he flips flows like I flip pancakes for brekki..
you must flip pancakes really well sir
GOAT pancake flipper right here!
He got those double and triple pancake flips. He be scheming on some Mickey Mouse pancakes. This man is a pancake alien! :D
You watch him make breakfast and it looks like he's making a waffle, but then you realize that he was really making a pancake the whole time! ...Okay I'm done! Haha! Sorry lol.
@@TwistedSisler đnice one
Gotta give you a sub for this breakdown dawg. These goats have transcended the game and would be lost on the average listener, so thanks for taking us on the ride. Absolute beasts
Crazy good breakdown! A few additions: the Kane/Cane also is half a reference/a double reference back to the Santa Claus/Christmas scheme: during Christmas you have the white and red striped sugar canes plus cocaine is also snow - another Christmas symbol. Crazy, crazy stuff from Eminem. To be honest, what sets Nas apart is more a song like Moments (or I Gave You Power, Last Words, Fetus, Dance, Heaven) or how Nas paints pictures with a single line. Nas is maybe my favourite rapper. He puts the poetry in Rhythm and Poetry, but I don't think anyone touches Eminem when it comes to rhyme and flow schemes. On this song Nas didn't seem to go as HAM on the rhyme schemes as he did on The Don or Nasty. His entire verse seemed to be a layup to Eminem. Even the way he is scratched back to finish Eminem's sentence gives that impression
Appreciate the comment and the support to the channel! Goes a long way.. Much love! đ€
Knox is the GOAT of breakdown đ you broke the triple entendre "Call me big daddy, cause I got the caine and lean on me" to the last nanometre. Your are a god!
Eminem's wordplay, rhyme scheme, double meaning, his rap burn my brain. It's just too perfect that I think.
Thats why alot of people hate on him just because they don't understand what the hell he is doing. Hate because he is just so great!đłđ±đđ„đ„đ„đ„
@@Feyenoord010Rotterdam yeah
@@Feyenoord010Rotterdam Facts đđ„
Knox, what makes this channel so damn special is your ability to remember and pull in history that Em and others dip into. I love listening to your breakdowns and then going and reading the comments where others contribute. Itâs exciting because itâs like unpacking a picnic basket full of really great food that my brain is so entertained by. So thank you for what you do and how you do it, itâs the best!! â„ïž
Well said
Your breakdowns are amazing!! The knowledge behind EACH bar and the message theyâre intended to deliver, gives me goosebumps. Makes me feel some type of way to see people who truly understand, appreciate and love The Golden Age of Hip Hop.
The passion from you is so clear. Thankful that you can unpack tracks like this so people like me can appreciate every layer. Iâm a huge fan of your breakdown videos
That's exactly how my face looked on Em's last part of that last verse. What he does, I have never seen before. His voice, wordplay, rhyme schemes, linguistics...he was born to do this. The way he pushes himself to try different things. He's on that hard a's head! đđż
The daddy Kane bar had one more layer, "got that Kane and lean on me"
Lean on me - the song
Lean on me, using a cane
Got the lean and 'caine on me - got the drugs on me
Am I missing even more to this madness? lol
I LOVE your breakdowns! I am definitely checking for what you got in the future. I hope you have a platform for EXCLUSIVE breakdowns like this. I thought I am a fanatic of Hip Hop but I missed quite a few references but you educated the man! Thanks man.
Appreciate the comment, goes a long way!
Please don't stop doing what you do. I've been absorbing these videos daily. I feel like I'm at the Hill University of Hip-Hop and I'm glad to attend. Much love from Portugal

Never seen such an incredible breakdown like this

Please do some more Nas man
The last part of Nasâ verse was a reference to his album titled: â hip hop is deadâ

Wasn't even fast.

So you weren't lost in Nas' verse?
Knox, honestly, you're the king of bar breakdowns, no cap, I follow Stevie, script work as well and I respect them a lot too but you're just on a whole another level, like several notches above the rest! Much respect! đ„đ„
Knox has an in-depth knowledge about a lot of things, itâs why his breakdowns make so much sense.
A wealth of knowledge đ„đ„
I do agree about hip-hop. There are days where I want to stop rapping, but when I hear Nas or Eminem kill a beat, I'm always like "fuck, I gotta do this shit too. I ain't done yet either." It's like a hunger just comes alive inside of you and drives you to want to do the same
haha me the same man! Aftwrbhwaeing this album im writing! Instant inspiration from these great artists
same here, know what you feel
Never stop rapping man. The people that make it are the ones that do it because they love it and not for any other reason.
@@TwistedSisler Well... I do have one other reason: I want to change lives in the same way my influences did. Be relatable and an outlet for people. My whole life, I've wanted to give to other people because of the reward of their happiness is something I can't get enough of. They say you'll never be satisfied if you're motivated by fame, accolades, or fortune, but making other's day better is something I never want to be satisfied with. The more people who can use my music as an outlet, the better
@@thehobbyist7275 i'll give you an excuse to self promote, where can i find you?
i wish other reactors can breakdown a song the way you do dahm
Thatâs love. Appreciate it đ
@@KnoxHill sweet
That's what makes Knox so great and unique if everybody could do this the reactions would be dull (in the way that Knox reaction wouldn't be special or great) leave it Knox to be the best reactor
He also shouted out Nipsey & Biz Markie in that internal rhyme as well. They all murdered it
You really know your craft and give insightful, unbiased and professional critique.
Just cause I havenât seen anyone else say it yet, the âgot no Lâsâ could be âgot no elvesâ OR âgot Noelâsâ like the Christmas song Noel. Keep kicking ass on these breakdowns my guy!
Literally nobody else has caught this, the No L's / Noels
I actually think it's just Noels and everyone is mishearing it. I think it's a coincidental and accidental triple lol
@@kingchris5224 MrLBoyd Reacts caught it.
I think its no lâs (noels). Saying u got no elves like in christmas makes no sense. But at the same time elves are apart of Christmas like Santa n Rudolph. I just dunno if he meant that cuz Elves r in Christmas
Actually it could of been intentional bcuz the line b4 it. He saying how he stocks those shelves n how he not gunna fail he got no lâs like in Christmas. Elves are kinda like Santas stockmen right? So em saying he got none cuz he do it all on his own, he will not fail. Pshhh wtf
Nas' last scheme is deeper, too, because he's talking about going to the graveyard to see Hip-Hop's empty grave and then he mentioned letters splattered red, like the words of Christ in some bibles being printed in red. đ€Ż
Second coming of hip-hop like the second coming of Christ. Dope reference.
@Aaron9 Don't be racist bro.
đ€Żđ€Ż
Bro your hip hop knowledge is what makes your reactions fucking fire sir. Great breakdown especially for an old head like myself.
Knox has such an amazing way of breaking the bars down and helping us see the meaning in the words!... Just gifted... I love Chaos Theory!!
Knox is the undisputed king of breakdowns. Nobody can do it like him. Keep up the great work Knox!
He is amazing at it but don't forget stevie knight
@@tjpowell234 Stevie is a good reactor, but no where near as good as Knox when it comes down to breaking down every single bar. And Knox does it without having the lyrics pulled up. I'm subbed to Stevie, but there's no deny that Knox is the best ever at this.
Why the hell ain't Knox judging Stevie's tournament? No one else be catching bars like this
Maybe for the finals
Knox i donât think Iâve ever seen you just so completely flabbergasted for an entire rhyme scheme to the point where you legit canât pause it đđ the ending of Emâs verse hit too hard đ„
Cominâ in a year later Knox. Just found your shit and love it. Wanted to point out, thereâs a third meaning to the Xmas line. With âNo Lsâ and âNo Elvesâ thereâs also âGot NOELsâ, like Christmas
Yooooo in Alfreds theme when em mentions e.p.md he also has the lines "so call me santa Claus, cause at the present, I outrap them all" and then he has the whole ridiculous Christmas scheme in this verse aswell
Knox spent 21.51 minutes breaking down Eminemâs verse which was just 1.32 long. GOAT reacts to GOAT.
Knox, you and no life shaq are the reactions i watch. I am so glad to see a true lyricist break down bars to a deep T. Thank you for doing what you have been doing keep going and breaking everything down as well as you do. I would love to see you do overnight celebrity or slow jamz by twizta
The EPMD verses sound like it's right outta the 90s, this that real old school hip hop đ„đ„đ„ also dope to see Nas still got it!!
50 said before that he puts Em up there with his grandparents with the love & respect he has for him. I do think Em is playing off the power reference but also just giving him his flowers now like 50 always does for him playing off the 'they don't give you one single rose while you can smell it' too maybe?
Brilliant breakdown Knox. Subbed.
He catches each and every bar .. that's why Knox my favourite
Dope very impressed with your break down I had to mad love and respect fam
Now I've only just started following you (not as in stalking you) and I respect you sooooo much brother, your lyric break downs are amazing and you are an amazing hip-hop head, have a great understanding of bars, keep up the good work
Truly in lockdown in Australia, the world is a mess however listening to the goats and the goat of breakdowns..... thank you. But I wonât lie flows etc.. his love for 50 makes it for me.
NSW Government is fucked but this breakdown is what I've been waiting for while I work on my own music on the side
Keep your head up fellas, listening to this shit will keep you saneâŠâŠâŠ
If you didnât guess, much love from Straya KH đŠđș
Been into Hip Hop since Em's MTMB album. Still infant when it comes to Hip Hop, but thanks to Knox, Scriptwork, Vivevilla, and the rest I appreciate it a ton!! NSW turn up!
@@sugamsharma68 Great place to start!
Sorry bout that government! Love from tejas
When this song came out I was wondering when Knox would cover it. Iâm so happy đ€
Too fricking excited for this. It finally happened, 20 years in the makingâŠ. Almost gave up on this collab, then boom! BOTH LEGENDS. đ„đ„đ„
bro making sure we get EVERYTHING... highly appreciated
You killed it as always Knox .. as a non native / self taught English speaker you always help me alot in understanding those bars
You are doing a great job bro â
This is just absolutely ridiculous, absolute genius, the bars , the punchlines, the flows was just crazy, đ„ đ„
Lupe was listening to this on his live, and everyone was like "Eminem is just word salad and weak" but they don't listen. Even Lupe gave Em props and listened to it 0.5x but non-rappers not gonna appreciate good rap.
Truuuee! Shameful that art cant be appreciated just because thentalentless pool would drown for lack of a lyrical life raft.
Been waiting for this one đ„ helll yeaaahh
Yaasss!!! Letâs go Knox! Been waiting for you and Stevie! We got an early one from Ernest to keep us going!
I love watching Knox he is the best break down channel by far. Canât wait till ems part đ„đđż
hru today knox
Thanks for everything Knox. You always entertain me and helped to improve my english a lot. Underrated. You are underrated. We need someone to mention you to Eminem
I do a concert with EPMD again in 2 weeks. I hope they drop this verse. Because of this reaction, i'm definitely subscribing to this account. Good stuff!
Welcome to the channel! I appreciate your support đđŒ
Greatest man alive to break down bars. History have been made with the three goats. Also everyone....donât forget the sexy chicken time at 27:53
Best breakdown channel around! Who else is catching all that and has the references that you have?! NO ONE! A+ my dude!
Love your breakdowns and the humor too man keep it up and good luck.
Nice rhymes in intro knox. One love from switzerland
Immediately when i heard this song i wanted knox to react to it
A collab people been waiting for
Hell yeah, Man I was waitin' for you..!! đ
You know it đ
Also with the Big Daddy Kane line, got the cain and lean on me, like cocaine and lean. There's just so much to decipher and I fucking love it! A week later and still catching shit I missed.
Knox, your knowledge of the Game shows just how much these Masters of Rap and Hip Hop care about where rap came from and where it would go. I bow to your skill, and EVERYONE ON THAT TRACK. (stands and claps)
