Money game part2 has to be next!!
Yes part 2 most definitely
Yes, there are no other way. Part 2 is the next one.
Part two por favor
Money game part 2 of course 😊
No wonder Ren loves you brother. This is by far the best breakdown of Money Game 1 I've seen so far. You and Ren have so much in common, both educated well with knowledge of history, governments, society, and World events combined with an impressive vocabulary and talent. I believe if the 2 of you collaborate on something in the future it would be sick AF. 🤯
Totally! It Will happen - it would be a crime not to
@@Veeliscious Ahhh If Only!! From your mouth to Ren & Knox ears 😁
I'm so glad that Ren confirmed that Knox gets everything. I always felt like he probably did, but that was cool. I'm convinced they share brains 😂😂
@@robmarar 🙏🙏
@@ceekayy79 people say Ren is a savante- am wondering if Knox is too... He can recite a complicated bar instantly in the way some savantes could draw a detailed historic building brick for brick from a 5 second glimpse
Came for a ren reaction, stayed for the history lesson. Good knowledge
It is INSANE to me that you catch absolutely ALL of his bars when he goes into a super fast cadence in ONE hit, not very often do you need to back up a track and listen again. Once in a while, yes. But it absolutely blows my mind how easy it is for you to get all these in just one go. AWESOME reaction, once again. And lots to think about.
Not only catching the bars but finding diffirent angles how to dissect them and finding multiple meaning in most of them. I have found Knox through Ren (lot of people maybe had it switched) ;) But Im really impressed by him and his outlook on Ren’s music.
Yet to explore Knox music myself but after seeing his reaction Im very compeled to do so.
I saw an old Instagram, where he was asked what video disappointed him the most, view wise?
He answered Money Game 1.
Because, he thought that it was his most impressive theatrical performance up to this point.
I totally agree.
With the release of Hi Ren, his music and astounding talent was brought to the forefront and this masterpiece is getting the attention it deserved from day one.
Ren, definitely keeps folks guessing. What is this guy going to do next.
I saw a reactor stressing about what he was going to do to the guy in the chair.
Well done, Ren.
That means, the whole set up had the DESIRED impact.
Your breakdown, was as thoughtful and well put as usual.
Please do Money Game 2.
Business economics in a nursery rhyme. Lol
Yep. It's the first song I saw of his, and it genuinely saddens me that his other stuff is more viewed. Not that it doesn't deserve it too, but because Money Game deserves *so much more.* It's legitimately a masterpiece, imo. I hope it will be seen as such one day, but I'm not holding my breath. Still, not like 2.3 million views is bad... but that shit deserved at least 10 mil imo.
On his birthday he did mention that "a sort of Money III will be released this summer". Can't fucking wait!
I have a money feeling all of his videos will be ticking over for a long time to come. Thank you for this insight. Much love
I couldn’t even make it through this video the first time I saw it. The violent imagery was too disturbing. I also couldn’t figure out what the bag head guy represented. It was all too obscure and creepy. Maybe that’s why it didn’t get the traction he expected.
Part 2 please! If you’ve already done it, what went wrong is super fun! It’s with him and Sam
What Went Wrong (1&2) are haunting as a reflection of our youth. I’ve know many people at that younger age who were like that. great choice, Leeann.
@@shotaholic1 and there is a part 3 coming out soonish 😊
Knox breaks through the barriers of understanding Ren's schemes, flow, production techniques, camera work, costumes and more! Thank you Knox for another heady performance breaking down and building up our friend Ren's "Money Game"!
Another gem from Ren. His insight into the human condition is striking. There's a Part 2 to this.
ren and samuel said that money game part 1 took between 150 and 180 takes, stuff like getting kicked off the location, lights getting turned off etc.
romain(from the big push) is the guy who's playing the guitar, it was a very cold shoot and poor romain was freezing cold.
DUDE!! I have never seen anyone be able to break down not only the bars, the flow, the cinematography, the message, every nuance of the video. I am very impressed. Subscribed!!
I am beyond thrilled that you are going down this rabbithole 🤩 There is sooooo much to find lyrically. Great dissection, as always, Knox 🙌🏻
Yay more Ren, it’s Romain Axisa on Guitar. My understanding is that he’s the hostage/someone powerful. Ren makes him see the error of his ways (draw the eyes) but then realises that he is part of the problem (mirror) and kills himself. The wellies and poncho are a serial killer/hitman type vibe.
🐇🕳️🖤
Ren his outfit is a reference to the infamous outfits of the US soldiers in afghanistan that got caught torturing citizens and prisoners of war (a severe violation of the geneva conventions)
I didn’t know that@@RepstarVixenit reminds me of ‘Dexter’
11:35 the tied guitarist could be also the part of himself playing the money game.
@@nondetection8882 I think he’d done a breakdown. Maybe on twitch and specified more but I can’t remember and don’t want to get it wrong.
@@JoesNoseAppreciationSociety1 They did one with Sam about the video but they focused on the shot, technical difficulties etc., I don't remember them doing a breakdown, Ren usually doesn't, leaving it to the audience which I think is the right way for such an artistic video. I think they said they did 200+ takes to get this one shot right (including incomplete takes).
Knox it never ceases to amaze me how knowledgeable you are on seemingly every topic. Your ability to catch every bar immediately is something I think we all wish we could do. I always love your interpretations of songs and how much depth you go into. No other reactor is on your level.
Thanks Knox ,hope to see part 2❤
Part 2 is even better!
I knew you’d kill the breakdown for this song. You and Ren seem to be sharing a bit of a mindset. Your breakdowns have always been great, but damn, you’ve been killing it on the Ren ones. I love the straight rap songs, but holy shit his deep stuff is phenomenal.
More Ren is always good. Hope you do Money game part 2 aswell
I feel like I just watched an online college course from the school of Ren & Knox. Next the master class (Money Game Part 2).
Hahahaha i agree 👍👍
Amazing content as always Knox! I've been loving listening to Ren recently and your reactions are spot on with catching everything. You should definitely do Money Game Part 2 and the Love Music series too!
Love music series is so good
Wow! Your reaction is like a surgical dissection with a microscopic analysis to ensure that nothing of the song and the video gets overlooked! What a high estimation for music! Thank you! Love it!
And Knox, I found your channel because of Ren, so you all definitely help each other. I really like you breakdowns man, you're a smart dude and breakdown those bars and help me catch things I wouldn't have
Love the reaction as always. It always fascinates me to see how you are able to connect the dots so well especially when it comes to world knowledge and not just knowledge of one area.
Also the poncho is green, in cinematography green symbolises greed and envy. One of the greatest examples of how that visual is used effectively is Breaking Bad, Walter always wears green while Hank's wife wears purple to signify her innocence and distance from the greed.
In the sense of Ren it makes me think that his character is someone consumed by that greed as you explained yourself
I can't wait for your reaction to Part 2. You'll love it. And it has links to others of his songs
Out of all the 30/40/50 reaction videos I found of Hi Ren your is definitely the one I'm glad I found the most as I've been loving your reaction content (and your own content) ever since
Damn man! That was some of your best work yet...the history lessons 👀
Part 2 is next! Whole different kind of video, but the song itself goes even harder than Part 1
What a pleasure to see / listen to Ren's songs along with your analysis / reaction to them.
Very well done deep and accurate analysis, opening our eyes to things we didn't even realize were contained in certain parts of the music / lyrics.
Thank you very much. Good vacation
Love your brake downs mate they make me appreciate the song so much more .ren always has me thinking about the song when it ends and that's a rare gift
God damn what a master class in poetry. this is absolutely sensational. Man speaking deep deep truth and presenting it in such a way that just drives that point home. Totally blown away by this piece.
I have been following ren since his freckled angels album and the entire album is a masterpiece, need to listen to all 3 of the love music songs!!! WE LOVE YOU REN! WE LOVE YOU KNOX!
Knox! Your intricate, intelligent breakdowns are always so incredible to watch - and Ren was right in his Twitch live… you never miss a bar or a creative choice or a deep meaning. You’re leagues above other reactors in the depth of your content and I so appreciate the effort you put in to do these artists justice. Thank you!
Brilliant as always cant wait for you to do part 2 ❤
What a fabulous study of the ‘mise on scene’ in Ren’s ‘Money Game’ video.
BTW ‘mise on scene’ is a French film terminology which means a combination of everything used to convey meaning. Including light, sound and setting.
You do it brilliantly, Knox 👏👏👏
Knox, you are a genius! Loved your breakdown of this song! Entertainment and history all together! You and REN are great together!
You know what? Thanks to you and the other reactors, I can finally appreciate rap and hip/hop artists. I am almost 50 and not a english mative speaker; it was so hard until internet and this video content to fully reach every reference, shade, play on words etc. I have been always attracted by this music but couldn't get it all.
You, Cliffbeat and Anthony Ray are savant and clever; in my opinion the best reactor and I started appreciating your job as well.
lots of gratitude and support
Really love how you break down all the lyrics, visuals to your reactions. I feel almost educated after listening. Thank you!
Love your reactions to Ren. Incredibly insightful and interesting in terms of rhyme schemes and rap techniques as well as text interpretations. Really love them.
I think the little slide was a shout out to the Singing In The Rain dance scene from Gene Kelly, Great reaction as always ...
Geez, and I just came here from a reaction video where the reactors got stuck on "genuine" in Ren's The hunger (maybe confusing the word with the artist Ginuwine or whatever) and here you are talking about the house of lords and the house of commons. Talk about youtube highs and lows (or lows and highs in this case, I guess). Keep up the good work!
Such an intelligent and thoughtful reaction. Thank you ❤
Next - Part 2 of course. If you liked this one, Crucify Your Culture is another track well worth a deep dive. It’s an older one, but still very socially aware and more than a little prophetic.
Great reaction as always my dude, keep up the great work. Much love from Scotland 🏴
I absolutely love your breakdowns. You are like a surgeon clinicly dissecting the songs. I learn something new with every video I watch of yours. Much love!!!
I know I should never be surprised but your knowledge always takes me off guard. In a world of low test scores and lazy ambition you stand out consistently. Thank you for your thorough break downs. ❤❤❤
Yeees, Knox you are the best. Lets do part 2 right now. I just cant wait😂
That was the best breakdown/reaction I've seen 👏👏 Big props to you as always! You have become my favorite.
These reactions are making me feel better about humanity, so good to see people get it lol!
I have always loved your breakdowns but this one, this one is the reason I subscribed to your channel. Insightful, intelligent and informative with an incredible appreciation of the creativity, artistry and sheer hard work that goes into an m/v… this was the best breakdown of one of my favourite Ren songs. Absolutely wonderful. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Always so amazed with your abilities to get everything, and you also have such deep knowledge in so many diverse areas. These Ren reactions really have made me appreciate your work so much more, I watched some of your metal reactions in the past and thought you were a normal reactor, didn't pay much more attention sadly, now watching many of your analyses lately I have become a fan and am always appreciative of your analysis of the lyrical content and music! Keep up the great work! Money game pt.2 is the logical step after this one, while I personally kind of prefer the darkness, historical outlook, visual storytelling, and singing of pt.1 more, pt.2 is such a poignant observation on our society and a lot easier to digest. Both great though!
I absolutely love your reactions - by far the most insightful I have seen ❤
Knox killing as always, cant wait for part 2. It has 1 of the most clever concepts ive ever seen. Its in Hi Ren but all the reactors react to HI Ren 1st so they dont get the reference
She sells sea shells 😉
Loving these reactions! I found you around December last year looking for ren reactions. I'm so glad you've covered this song. Just the way you break down lyrics and bars, no one does it quite like you! Even the breaking down of the videography!!! I hope you and Ren can make a song together one day, you're both really educated people, I love you both, I think you'd make an absolute banger!! If you haven't heard it yet, I'd say the Music Crowns version of Blind Eyed by Ren and Sam Tompkins, or What Went Wrong. After that, I'd love to hear your reaction to Dominoes. I don't see many people recommend it and it's all about insecurities and the people higher up making money from our insecurities. It's really deep, it's currently one of my favourites!
Amazing breakdown Knox! You came to many of the same conclusions I did at the end, regarding the idea that Ren realized that he was being the hypocrite and burned himself instead. With the eyes, my thoughts were a little less sure. I thought of the quote: 'you gave them eyes, yet they cannot see' but I hadn't caught that the eyes could stand for accountability and interesting that it was he himself who drew the eyes. Fascinating! (and an amazing video all around)
You are a very smart man! I'm here for Ren.. But i'm staying! You've a great knowledge of life and history! 👏 Love the reaction videos!
Oh boy i cant wait for part 2, Love how much you know about both american and British culture 😎
Really love that you thought through not just the lyrics (which is always awesome) but also the meaning behind the video - exactly what I was hoping for, big thanks for that!!! Can't wait for part II!
You should do Life is Funny - Ren. Lyrical madness
Knox, you’re the man. You’re the only reactor who knows his schnizz about Britain. And everywhere else it seems!
Your ability to pick up every bar, understand the nuances of Ren’s political message and break these down with such eloquent ease is phenomenal. You need to be either a history teacher or a politician - Your insight & intelligence is outstanding.
You really are a very smart guy 😉
Can’t wait til you & Ren meet up - I have no doubt you will!
Please do MG part 2 & check out Bongo Bong cover by TBP - it just makes me happy 😊
This is by far the best analysis of this video that’s ever been done. Great job!!
Love music 1,2 and 3 are all awesome too!
Man, I found you through Ren, but I have to say, you're easily the most well-rounded and knowledgable reactor I've seen on this platform, basically ever. You're also a dope artist. Despite the many flaws of the internet (well highlighted by Burnham's track which I know you know), the fact that we can not only find artists like Ren, but then be guided to other tremendously talented and intelligent artists as yourself, it's a grand time in many ways, regardless of the downsides of the Money Game.
If you haven't already read it, check out 'Debt: the First 5000 Years' by Graeber. I think you'd find it interesting. Thank you for all the work you do and the hustle and intelligence you put into everything you do.
I’m a huge fan of Ren. Thanks to introducing him to me. Since your first reaction of Ren, Ive been listening to all his incredible music.
I have watched many reactions to Money Game pt 1, and when it comes to delving into the meanings of not just the lyrics, but the video (and creative choices in making it), yours is definitely the most insightful of them all. No surprise tho because your reactions always are this way!
Phenomenal analysis of this complex piece of art. Thanks Knox!
Shoot, I feel like I need to sit my kids in front of this reaction so they don’t fall behind in history. Amazing breakdown and interpretation, really enjoying the Ren videos (honestly, it’s ridiculous how many of these Ren reaction vids I’ve watched over the past couple of days-an embarrassing amount, really, lol). This channel is my current obsession and I really like the technical aspects as well as picking out the individual bars…just all around great content. Keep up the good work! :)
Knox you are by far the best! So happy you're supporting Ren x
what a smart and talented guy you are NH! your reactions leave me speachless... there is so much i would have missed in the songs you reacted on. greetings from munich
Astonishing react and insight. - Another great Ren masterpiece!
430am here in Melbourne Australia.. .couldn't sleep. What an amazing breakdown Knox. You're an incredible artist. We love and thankyou.
Please have a great vacay❤
It feels excessive to ask you to react to Ren's whole catalog, but...
Excessive perhaps, desirable definitely... I'd be here for that😂
@@patparker4280 😊👍
😂💯🙌🏻
Awsome analysis backed by great knowledge and worldly understanding KH.
Totally impressed man. ❤️👍 🇬🇧
Money Game Part 2 next please 🔥👌
I love watching your reactions because how thought provoking they are. First, I personally wouldn’t pick up on half of it and I don’t consider myself stupid lol. Your general knowledge and skill as a lyricist is crazy and deserves a ton of respect. The way you recognize and extract the ideas behind the bars shows that. As far as thought provoking even if it isn’t how it was meant to be projected the connections you make are still relevant and provide a thoughtful perspective. I appreciate your videos, reactions and music.
I love your Ren reactions because your intellect is very similar to REN’s! You either say something that I was thinking or you say something that gets me thinking and looking at it from a different perspective. Another brilliant reaction as always! ❤❤❤
I came here to hear a breakdown of bars and I've left feeling like i've been through a speed run of University learning the History of Economics 🧑🎓
Fine work👌... But the best is still to come... Part. 2 :🤯🤯🤯 👏👏
Money Game part 2 is EVEN BETTER than part 1 and goes even deeper into all the politics/greed stuff, highly recommend it as your next Ren reaction! This one was great as always, I love the way you break down the lyrics, the bars, the flow, and how you catch every little thing and reference he makes
;) That's because as even Ren himself says - "... he's like a fuckin' surgeon, he doesn't miss a thing!" ( lol ) (( may not be verbatim but close enough ))
Dude, your ability to pull lyrics out of music is amazing. Love the attention you pay to poetry and lyricism.
Dude i listened to that song like 100 times now and you found stuff i never thought of on the first listen
Man, you are speaking some truth we can get everybody to think that way
Ren never ceases to amaze me. It was cool to hear you give props to cinematographer Samuel Perry-Falvey's work. He's excellent.
*Edit: Knox, I'm curious, are you simply an anglophile or did you spend time overseas?
He played football in the National league in England. Also in other countries.
@@cas9065wow! That I did not know. Thanks for sharing 👍
@@cas9065 Wow I didn't know that, that explains his familiarity with the culture, accent etc.
@@cas9065 thanks
Part 2 please!!!
He'll break it down for you in a nursery rhyme 😂
Gotta react now to money game part 2, our economics prof showed it to us at uni in our beginner year, that song is a whole experience.
Also if you're interested, Roman Axisa is the one playing guitar, he's the one that does all the solos in The Big Push, he's also a super talented man!
Well done Knoxy boy! Always a pleasure to hear your analysis of Ren's tracks 🖤
I can see Ren being in a film (of his writing)and do a lot better than most of the actors today.
Wow! Knox man! Always enjoy you reactions and insightful analysis based upon passion, enthusiasm, experience, knowledge and intelligence. Love the passion for your own music but also the generosity to appreciate and enjoy other great musicians like Ren! I also admire the fact that your knowledge extends to global issues and history and not just your own country making you really well rounded. Best wishes and success with your own music. Much love to you and your family as that is the raison d'etre!
Just finding you now after falling in love with many of Ren's songs not long ago, you're absolutely killing these reactions, I'm already binging the rest of your Ren reactions. You're so knowledgeable and informed on so many of these topics. Thanks for making these reactions! And huge props to Ren to for his amazing work :)
I really appreciate how you've got a habit of rewinding 5-10 seconds after nearly every bit of paused commentary to make sure you're catching the full song. It's something I sometimes feel other reactors end up missing bits of the song because they don't do it. You're so detail oriented and you catch nearly every bit of the song and videography. Your reaction to Money Game 2 was just as amazing too!
I'm making my way through your reactions to the Jenny's tale trilogy and I'm already excited to see that you reacted to "Immortal Technique - Dance with the Devil" not long after those, because they really reminded me of that song, and I can't wait to hear your take on that one as well :)
I, no we, will be patiently waiting for your analysis of Part 2.....
Awesome job as always
My guy doing it again. Hella breakdown that's why I like your channel.. great reaction
Love your analysis, always Knox. Thank you and keep doing what you do. You are a deep thinker too and I appreciate your POV.
love the content man best bar breakdown on youtube!
Great as always. Please do Pt. 2.
Fantastic breakdown Knox! It always amazes me how much you pick up on these videos! I've seen this so many times and I still get to see new subtleties through your insights! Cheers m8
Ren has a cool short video showing them practicing the choreography for Money Game 1. Money Game 2 was during the lockdowns so it's a different type of video. (He also has an acapella version of Money Game 2 walking along the shoreline)
I've not even watched this yet but just wanted to say soon as I saw you'd done a react to it I literally fist pumped the air and said "Yeaaaayah!" - so that says to me (and now you!) that your reacts Excite me!! Can't wait to watch it now so I'll stop gushing lol.
Edit post watch - Superb reaction & analysis from the first few seconds where you capture and dissect everything down to even the sound of the rope - despite numerous watches I'd never noticed that, but from now on will always notice it in the same way I can never see a match flame in the same 3D way after watching one burn whilst on 'shrooms (😆) and it became and will remain a 5D living, breathing energy 🔥 - to your insight and knowledge on social and political history not just America but UK history too (so many American reactors I find have quite limited UK knowledge around our politics etc), to the way you are not only able to capture but recite word for word a bar instantly - people call Ren a savante - perhaps you are one too...
I am hoping, hoping🤞 before Ren leaves Canada back to UK that you can have him as a guest on your channel - a discourse between the two of you and your Samurai sword minds I could happily watch (and learn from) for hours! A collaboration with the 2 of you would be even doper💥
Knox I absolutely marvel at your vast knowledge of so many different things. Your common/general knowledge (hope that is the right word, I'm sorry, I'm German) is impressive. Be it philosophy, history or politics, add to that your knowledge about rap, writing, music production and so on, you just enrich every breakdown with so much insight! Thank you!
Amazing as always, cant wait to see break down of money game part 2
Hell yeah Knox I'm here for it all
Hope all is well bro love your content appreciate you fam!!
Knox always on the grind, massive respect but enjoy your vacation bro
Love your breakdowns my dude! I watch your channel because you are whip smart and it's fun and very impressive to watch your brain work. Keep up the great work!
I'd love to see you and Ren chatting about music and life. I can see why he values your reactions so much!
An interesting note abut the history of money in England, is that our coins lost their intrinsic literal metal-weight value during the reign of Henry VIII (the one with all the wives). He had the mint adulterate the coins, mixing so much copper into the alloy that they no longer had unilateral international value as lumps of precious metal. Other countries refused to accept them in trade because they were worth less. The silver rubbed off on the most prominent relief parts of the coins, notably the King's portrait, so often that he was referred to as "old copper-nose".
Smart insights. We need more people like you.
