Fun fact The singer bébé Rexha wrote the chorus to that song. It was originally a demo for her and she had her own verses to it. She ended up giving it to rihanna and Eminem wrote the verses for a totally different song and she was never really acknowledged by the public for it. When Em did Coachella he called her and asked her to come with him headline the show. He paid for her family to come and took care of all the arrangements so she performed that song with him at Coachella. At the end he hugged her and she told him " You're the coolest" to which he replied " I'm really not that cool" Classic Em 😂
Bebe Rexha is actually still in the chorus towards the second half filling in the adlibs, probably because Rihanna couldn't exactly hit those high notes with accuracy.
Actually Jon Bellion wrote that hook and BEBE added a few minor tweaks.....and on the topic of Jon @Knoxhill please react to Jons Raps you don't know what you are missing!
You killed it as usual Knox, no need to be nervous! what I take from the ending is that Shady is locked up in the cage, as you said, and Em goes down to him from time to time and Shady throws him a little inspo here and there for some songs. You can see that Em keeps the piece of paper and puts it in his pocket. So even though he still allows Shady to make small appearances, he'll never let him completely loose again, and you can see he keeps his distance as well, Em doesn't go too close to the cage. But anyways, loved this video like always❤️
Awesome take there very true his alter ego went mayhem back then he learned from it and as you said he allows some of shadys words or lines to be in Em songs but not fully he will go maybe allow 50% or 75% ham as shady in big songs all battles from time to time these days, knox said in a few reactions where he said those shady lines
All wrong the real em is in the cage wearing the white and the clone/demon wearing the all black , that’s why the one in cage screaming as the one in the black walks away basically stealing his image and life while the real em rott in cage for enteral cause he sold his soul💯
As a person with ocd this song was very important to me growing up, it was one of the first steps in not hating myself for my habits and intrusive thoughts, it taught me that I needed to be friends with the monsters in my head to survive, that fighting them would only lead to self hatred, pain and in the end my destruction. I am forever grateful for the music that helped me grow and become stronger, I know I would not be here today if not for that. Em will forever have a special place in my heart and my thanks
One of the differences between your reactions and the rest, even the great ones, are the personal connections and stories you bring to them. You actually grew up with this and still remember how you felt, that personal touch is one of the many reasons I’ll keep coming back to your channel.
@25:30 is why I will always have nothing but respect for you and what you do. This man is talking about past wounds and regrets and opening up, you can see it and feel it and how it affected you and you still said " Im nervous to cuz I just wanna do this song justice" talk about loving the music and the respect for Eminem. My brother in my opinion you could never do this or any song an injustice. keep it you, keep it fresh and we will be here for it all. thank you.
My gawd Knox. You did an amazing job breaking this down so thoroughly 🤯👏. Might even be one of my fav breakdowns of yours. We all definitely have our own monsters to acknowledge and deal with at some point in our lives. This song and many of Ems songs has helped so many of us. Even if he didn't want to be a role model or someone we looked to, he surely had an impact in our minds and hearts. A whole generation has grown up alongside him. I personally feel so grateful to have been able to. 💙
20:25 when em' used that deep almost demonic voice I think it was a shout out to one of his songs "My Darling" if I'm not mistaken. It's the same voice that was used to voice is dark side in a sense
I always understood Rhianna's line "you're trying to save me, stop holding your breath" to have 2 meanings. It could mean that instead of saving me, you should be more concerned about saving yourself and just leave me alone. This line can also mean if you're trying to save me, we speak up and actually help instead of just staying quiet. This works out great because the meaning could be to help me or it could be to not help me. Sometimes you want help from others and sometimes you just want to be left alone, so this covers both sides and you can decide whichever one you want.
I am on the other side of this bridge. Personally I don't have depression or anxiety or other mental issues. Songs like this helps me to understand and help my friends and family who struggle with those issues. Thank you, Knox, for making me love this song even more.
You should have more subscribers than the rest of the "reaction people". You actually break down the song and not just open your mouth and shout. Props to knox
Dude. You are insane the way you make all these connections and know all the references. Insane. You are so passionate about rap. I love that passion man. Keep it up!
Do you even understand the wisdom you say during some of these reactions? Knox man… You get deep not only in the reactions but in your own records. You’re a beast dude! Much love!
it’s odd but this song is always hard for me to listen to same as love the way you lie cause it makes me reflect on my own emotions which inevitably leads down a dark rabbit hole. but at the same time it’s a beautiful song. amazing breakdown! really did this song justice
This breakdown makes me feel like I never listened to song. I was just hearing it this all time. So many meaningful details I didn't notice. GOOD JOB MAN🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯👍🏿
Eminem is so good at syncing lyrics & visuals to accompany the story he tells! He truly is a poetic genius with the doubles....triple meanings in his songs! Great breakdown Knox! You explain it so well! Thank you! Eminem's music has helped me through a lot of bad times! Especially after my divorce....there was a marathon of his music videos on. I watched every single one! lol I laughed....cried ...went through so many different emotions. I had saved them on my DVR and just about drove my son crazy playing those non-stop! He said "mom I'm a fan of Em's but even I have a limit"! lol It did one thing I hadn't anticipated....it strengthened the bond between myself & my son. 😁 I have Eminem to Thank for that!
Fun fact Knox when u said that eminem created slim shady and that side of his was a monster he said in his first line in without me " I've created a monster "
I just wish so badly Em would give us one last, full-on 1999-2002 era Slim Shady record. The video for the lead single should open by returning to this scene here from the Monster video, where we see the cage he was being kept is now broken open, and the armed guards who were watching him are unconscious. Then you could have psychiatrist Rhianna step out from the elevator and say to herself, "Oh no.... this is bad. This is very, very bad." She pulls out her phone to call Dr. Dre, and with a panicked expression says to him, "Warn everyone- he's back! I repeat, he is back! He escaped ... I don't know how he did it or where he is, but he's free and on the loose!"
This song brings back a lot of memories for me because I danced to this song for one of my dance recitals and I also resonated with it bc it helped me with my struggles with my adhd and being bullied
Lyrics; I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed Get along with the voices inside of my head You're tryin' to save me, stop holding your breath And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy) I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey Wanted to receive attention for my music Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me For wantin' my cake, and eat it too, and wantin' it both ways Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated When I blew, see, but it was confusing 'Cause all I wanted to do's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (ooh) Hit the lottery, ooh-wee But with what I gave up to get, it was bittersweet It was like winnin' a used mink Ironic 'cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink I'm beginnin' to lose sleep, one sheep, two sheep Going coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed Get along with the voices inside of my head You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Now, I ain't much of a poet But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment And don't squander it 'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow So I keep conjurin' Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from Yeah, ponderin'll do you wonders No wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo I think it went wanderin' off down yonder And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen 'Cause I need an interventionist To intervene between me and this monster And save me from myself and all this conflict 'Cause the very thing that I love's killing me And I can't conquer it My OCD is conkin' me in the head, keep knockin' Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin' I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin' Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed Get along with the voices inside of my head You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Call me crazy, but I have this vision One day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian But until then, drums get killed and I'm comin' straight at MC's, blood gets spilled and I'll take it back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track Give every kid who got played that pumped-up feelin' And shit to say back to the kids who played him I ain't here to save the fuckin' children But if one kid out of a hundred million Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates, that's great It's payback, Russell Wilson Falling way back in the draft Turn nothin' into somethin', still can Make that, straw into gold, chump, I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that It's nothin', I'm still friends with the I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed Get along with the voices inside of my head You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed Get along with the voices inside of my head You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I feel like we all have some strong memories with this song playing in the background. I remember I got my first phone that year and someone send it to me through Bluetooth and I've been listening to this song for days on my way from school with shitty headphones and I never felt more alive since then
Thank you so much, Your reaction has given me a better appreciation of this song, I knew this song was great but because of your breakdown now I have even deeper appreciation for it 🙏❤
I gotta be honest, nothing hits like an Eminem and Riri song. The year I left my ex is the same year I discovered "Love the Way You Live." I was pregnant with my first and that song hits so close to home for so many reasons. The song that best describes my current relationship/marriage is "Reject" by GFBF, aka Tom and Nova.
I truly love all your breakdowns! Especially since you relate this to your own personal struggles. I admire your honesty and rawness! We need more vulnerability in this society, please 🙏🏼 ❤
Dude react to everything Jon but you want barzzzz "preoccupied" "NYSPII" "ADULT SWIM" this man doesn't even rap.and is on a whole nother level than 90% of these rappers
The video also top notch. How it shows that slim shady still writes but even so it's em taking the control of the delivery so it's not down right monstrous...
You really are the goat in braking down bars cadence switch flows and actually understanding the music I seen so many reactors react to this song and they don’t know who the monster is and why is Eminem in the cage you said in the beginning the monster is shady you and @thethirdernest are my favorite he catches bars and has a lot of knowledge from college but you do too plus you break down the rhyme schemes the cadence you are the best the goat at breaking down music also shout out to your new song I love it New era I bought it on iTunes
depending on which camera you have you can get a "dummy battery" that plugs into usb power, that would prevent your camera from dying while filming. I have a camcorder that came with a usb power cable. I plugged it into a powered usb hub so it doesn't rely on battery power while recording. also I love this song, great reaction.
You finally reacted to this song.. real supporters watched till the end!! You’re the 🐐Knox, and yes you’re right go Broncos ! Lol now react to love the way you lie
Figured I'd give a comment to your lighting comments. I'm a lighting designer by trade. I oft do depressing shows (typicly theater or dance). One of my all time favorite shots is the silhouette. Iether in a lightblue as we see there or a light red. Has a very powerful conveyance of emotions upon the audience member.
AY FIRST i just jumped over from the em and budden vid who really one everytime you post im watching your last vid upload works out pretty well this is the 3rd time its happened
Man the ticking of the clock I remember when I was going through my psychological evaluation for my disability one evaluator had a room that was full of clocks that were exactly 1 minute off from each other there was like 50 of them
Yo Knox! The pills in the opening montage made me think of this connection that no one really seems to make (because how many Eminem fans also listen to NoFX and Gym Class Heroes? idk) in Marsh when Eminem said- “this medicine's counterfeit, I was mislead by the sound of it, how am I gonna get turnt up on this Valium shit?” I think that it may have been a reference to to the Gym Class Heroes song Pillmatic, which would make sense given his own addiction- “This ain't a song for the kids like the last album, Put em to bed go ahead and turn the valuum up” That in itself might also be a reference to the NOFX album “Pump Up the Valuum” since they both ran in that Warped Tour circle Edit: formatting Edit 2: @18:27 it’s also a reference to the character Spawn from Image Comics
I'd really like you to try Minami's songs (the one who did the Domestic Girlfriend opening song), they' re absolute fire. Try these if you' re interested: "main actor" "Hollowness" "konomachi ni hare wa konail" (latest one) And ofcourse, "Crying for Rain"
Your never over!!!! so many 5 6 syllable rhymes in it!!!!!! You’ve never done one of my songs so why ask I’d love you to do WIKED ways too. Only asked for idk 19 months????
One of the reasons why mmlp is my favorite em album (fight me I got reasons) Also: Knox: it can make you crazy if you think to much Me: “Ive been thinkin, I think too much, Ive been thinkin, I think too much.” Also you gotta do my darling by em!

Fun fact
The singer bébé Rexha wrote the chorus to that song. It was originally a demo for her and she had her own verses to it. She ended up giving it to rihanna and Eminem wrote the verses for a totally different song and she was never really acknowledged by the public for it. When Em did Coachella he called her and asked her to come with him headline the show.

Classic Em 😂
Bebe Rexha is actually still in the chorus towards the second half filling in the adlibs, probably because Rihanna couldn't exactly hit those high notes with accuracy.
@@FlipDaMushroom02 Yep that was the exact reason
That’s an awesome story!
@@syyneater Bebe told it herself it sounds even better coming from her
Actually Jon Bellion wrote that hook and BEBE added a few minor tweaks.....and on the topic of Jon @Knoxhill please react to Jons Raps you don't know what you are missing!
Dude, I performed this for a school talent show with my girlfriend. I love this song!
How did it go?
@@gavin0115 it went great. I was really proud, but I rapped a little faster than em does in the song 😂
@@homeguychris lol 🔥
@@homeguychris That sounds so cool! I wish I was brave enough to do something like that lol.
Rap faster than Eminem very debatable
Bruh this track actually had the prediction of the future album of The Death of Slim Shady! MARSHALL YOU AINT SLICK YOU BEEN PLANNING THIS 😂
You killed it as usual Knox, no need to be nervous! what I take from the ending is that Shady is locked up in the cage, as you said, and Em goes down to him from time to time and Shady throws him a little inspo here and there for some songs. You can see that Em keeps the piece of paper and puts it in his pocket. So even though he still allows Shady to make small appearances, he'll never let him completely loose again, and you can see he keeps his distance as well, Em doesn't go too close to the cage. But anyways, loved this video like always❤️
Nice bro

Spot on!
All wrong the real em is in the cage wearing the white and the clone/demon wearing the all black , that’s why the one in cage screaming as the one in the black walks away basically stealing his image and life while the real em rott in cage for enteral cause he sold his soul💯
As a person with ocd this song was very important to me growing up, it was one of the first steps in not hating myself for my habits and intrusive thoughts, it taught me that I needed to be friends with the monsters in my head to survive, that fighting them would only lead to self hatred, pain and in the end my destruction. I am forever grateful for the music that helped me grow and become stronger, I know I would not be here today if not for that. Em will forever have a special place in my heart and my thanks
i have ocd too

One of the differences between your reactions and the rest, even the great ones, are the personal connections and stories you bring to them. You actually grew up with this and still remember how you felt, that personal touch is one of the many reasons I’ll keep coming back to your channel.
Listening to him talk about Em is like listening to my boys talk about him they got me hooked on him. I still listen to him, and I turn sixty today.

Hey I saw Royce’s live the other day someone asked him if he heard of you he said yes!!!! He knows who you are.... so cool. Em’s watching you👀
My gawd Knox. You did an amazing job breaking this down so thoroughly 🤯👏.
Might even be one of my fav breakdowns of yours.
We all definitely have our own monsters to acknowledge and deal with at some point in our lives.
This song and many of Ems songs has helped so many of us. Even if he didn't want to be a role model or someone we looked to, he surely had an impact in our minds and hearts.
A whole generation has grown up alongside him. I personally feel so grateful to have been able to. 💙
You can always take a song I’ve heard a million times and make me look at it in a whole different way 🔥
20:25 when em' used that deep almost demonic voice I think it was a shout out to one of his songs "My Darling" if I'm not mistaken. It's the same voice that was used to voice is dark side in a sense
Eminem has helped me thru so much everytime I’m down I have to listen to Eminem.

Lyrics;
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're tryin' to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy)
I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek
Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
Wanted to receive attention for my music
Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
For wantin' my cake, and eat it too, and wantin' it both ways
Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated
When I blew, see, but it was confusing
'Cause all I wanted to do's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (ooh)
Hit the lottery, ooh-wee
But with what I gave up to get, it was bittersweet
It was like winnin' a used mink
Ironic 'cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink
I'm beginnin' to lose sleep, one sheep, two sheep
Going coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Now, I ain't much of a poet
But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
And don't squander it
'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
So I keep conjurin'
Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
Yeah, ponderin'll do you wonders
No wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo
I think it went wanderin' off down yonder
And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
'Cause I need an interventionist
To intervene between me and this monster
And save me from myself and all this conflict
'Cause the very thing that I love's killing me
And I can't conquer it
My OCD is conkin' me in the head, keep knockin'
Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin'
I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin'
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Call me crazy, but I have this vision
One day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian
But until then, drums get killed and
I'm comin' straight at MC's, blood gets spilled and
I'll take it back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track
Give every kid who got played that pumped-up feelin'
And shit to say back to the kids who played him
I ain't here to save the fuckin' children
But if one kid out of a hundred million
Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates, that's great
It's payback, Russell Wilson
Falling way back in the draft
Turn nothin' into somethin', still can
Make that, straw into gold, chump, I will spin
Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
It's nothin', I'm still friends with the
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Appreciate the throwbacks Eminem vids Knox keep up the great work
This song really helped me following a major meltdown 3 years ago. Still gives me major chills when Rhianna joins in.
I feel like we all have some strong memories with this song playing in the background. I remember I got my first phone that year and someone send it to me through Bluetooth and I've been listening to this song for days on my way from school with shitty headphones and I never felt more alive since then
With professor knox class is always in session. Another great reaction series. 🐐
Thank you so much,
Your reaction has given me a better appreciation of this song,
I knew this song was great but because of your breakdown now I have even deeper appreciation for it 🙏❤
I gotta be honest, nothing hits like an Eminem and Riri song. The year I left my ex is the same year I discovered "Love the Way You Live." I was pregnant with my first and that song hits so close to home for so many reasons. The song that best describes my current relationship/marriage is "Reject" by GFBF, aka Tom and Nova.
You're so on it with everything! I need some of your work ethic lol. Loving all your stuff man thanks
I truly love all your breakdowns! Especially since you relate this to your own personal struggles. I admire your honesty and rawness! We need more vulnerability in this society, please 🙏🏼 ❤
Can i just say, i love u knox. That’s it❤️
You always do Em justice 😊 Killer breakdown dude!
Knox brings it… every time. 🐐
You’re always killin’ it with these reactions Knox! Also straight up bars on Bet On Me 🔥🔥🔥
If you love this track you'd love Beautiful Pain Eminem and Sia did a masterful job on that record
i love that song
I think he did that one.
I saw him do beautiful, but I haven't seen the beautiful pain. It may be on his Patreon, I haven't checked that out yet
The Goats! Knox and Eminem
em needs to do a verzuz battle of himself vs slim shady. the whole idea of him taking on himself would be epic to watch.
Great job as always. Love to see someone give Jon Bellion some love, he's so talented and so few know him.
Dude react to everything Jon but you want barzzzz "preoccupied" "NYSPII" "ADULT SWIM" this man doesn't even rap.and is on a whole nother level than 90% of these rappers
This is my exact thought when he said Jon Bellion
ive been waiting for this one for a while
I really enjoy the way you break down how he raps, nice job.
I had heard the chorus before, but never payed attention to the bars and never knew it was an eminem song until yesterday.
This song is such an underrated masterpiece off of The Marshall Mathers LP II, which I think is an underrated album from Em's discography.
Also he's friends with the voices inside of his head because they are why he's so good and a master at what he does.
That shady scream when em walks away! Such a cool song man!
Great job knox ♥️
I was not a Stan when this song came out. Today, with you my man KH, is the first time Ive heard.
Knox you are the GOAT of these breakdowns, not too shabby on the mic either. Keep up your work 🧨
I greatly appreciate every minute of your time
Awesome job Knox. I loved the break down. I'm just sad to see Russell leave but he will do a fantastic job in Denver
The video also top notch. How it shows that slim shady still writes but even so it's em taking the control of the delivery so it's not down right monstrous...
You really are the goat in braking down bars cadence switch flows and actually understanding the music I seen so many reactors react to this song and they don’t know who the monster is and why is Eminem in the cage you said in the beginning the monster is shady you and @thethirdernest are my favorite he catches bars and has a lot of knowledge from college but you do too plus you break down the rhyme schemes the cadence you are the best the goat at breaking down music also shout out to your new song I love it New era I bought it on iTunes
Knox I love all your videos coming home from school and watching ur videos helps me out so much
This is what I sub for, great breakdowns and funny moments.
nice bruce lee adlib
I see similar concept in the movie "Inception" where in Cobb's dream, he travel across his dreams (memories) in a building with an elevator
You always do breakdowns justice love 😘
depending on which camera you have you can get a "dummy battery" that plugs into usb power, that would prevent your camera from dying while filming. I have a camcorder that came with a usb power cable. I plugged it into a powered usb hub so it doesn't rely on battery power while recording. also I love this song, great reaction.
50 Cent ft. Eminem - Patiently Waiting... I am patiently waiting for this one!
“I’ve been patiently waiting for the reaction to explode”
React to Eminem Kick Off freestyle next, please
Watch the Behind The Scenes of this Video, it’s really funny, and shows how he remade these iconic moments 11 years later.
"I think I'm gettin' so HUGE I need a SHRINK" 👀🔥
I never realized, but he has in the video the "going through a struggle"-line right when he hugs Elton John. I don't think that was a coincidence.
I think Elton is his sponsor
love this professor of bar's Knox hill. great song
Oh this takes me back! Let's gooo
I appreciate your time Knox... Yet as usual no one actually talks about ems beats in a completely different way.
Love how you even break down the video.
Music is life… for us for sure! This song is epic! I love you!
You finally reacted to this song.. real supporters watched till the end!! You’re the 🐐Knox, and yes you’re right go Broncos ! Lol now react to love the way you lie
Yeahh Knox you did justice
Congrats on 704k Subscribers! 😁👍🏼🔥
Most articulate breakdown of this song......or should I say just another reaction by Knox hill
Another great reaction
Love your intro track 💜
Thanks for presenting one of the most well-known hooks written by one of the most creative writers of our generation, Jon Bellion.
Everything is right with you!🌹😁🐐
Thanks you knox ! Love your reactions;;!!!!!!
Never thought of Eminem's craft as "Marshall arts" before you said it!💯🤭 Love your channel bro'!😁♥️✌
I’m gonna have to give my Stan card back 🤣🤣
Figured I'd give a comment to your lighting comments. I'm a lighting designer by trade. I oft do depressing shows (typicly theater or dance). One of my all time favorite shots is the silhouette. Iether in a lightblue as we see there or a light red. Has a very powerful conveyance of emotions upon the audience member.
Sick intro for real
“Witness me strapped with macs, knew I wouldn’t play that” - Makaveli
AY FIRST i just jumped over from the em and budden vid who really one everytime you post im watching your last vid upload works out pretty well this is the 3rd time its happened
Awesome breakdown brother 👊🏼
I mean Jesus. Does a reaction video get any better than this? Wow
i cant believe i missed this stream i was at work
Best lyric dissections in the world. Legend ! After finishing this vid add video dissection too
Man the ticking of the clock I remember when I was going through my psychological evaluation for my disability one evaluator had a room that was full of clocks that were exactly 1 minute off from each other there was like 50 of them
Eminem says all the.time that he writes for the kid lip syncing in the mirror. That's you, Knox!🐐😇
I love in the beginning you hear a snippet of 3 am
can you check out han jisung from stray kids songs please? he’s so good with his lyrics and the wordplays are insane, amazing rapper too
One of my favorite songs
Yo Knox!
The pills in the opening montage made me think of this connection that no one really seems to make (because how many Eminem fans also listen to NoFX and Gym Class Heroes? idk)
in Marsh when Eminem said-
“this medicine's counterfeit, I was mislead by the sound of it, how am I gonna get turnt up on this Valium shit?”
I think that it may have been a reference to to the Gym Class Heroes song Pillmatic, which would make sense given his own addiction-
“This ain't a song for the kids like the last album, Put em to bed go ahead and turn the valuum up”
That in itself might also be a reference to the NOFX album “Pump Up the Valuum” since they both ran in that Warped Tour circle
Edit: formatting
Edit 2: @18:27 it’s also a reference to the character Spawn from Image Comics
I'd really like you to try Minami's songs (the one who did the Domestic Girlfriend opening song), they' re absolute fire.
Try these if you' re interested:
"main actor"
"Hollowness"
"konomachi ni hare wa konail" (latest one)
And ofcourse, "Crying for Rain"
Your never over!!!! so many 5 6 syllable rhymes in it!!!!!! You’ve never done one of my songs so why ask I’d love you to do WIKED ways too. Only asked for idk 19 months????
One of the reasons why mmlp is my favorite em album (fight me I got reasons)
Also:
Knox: it can make you crazy if you think to much
Me: “Ive been thinkin, I think too much, Ive been thinkin, I think too much.”
Also you gotta do my darling by em!
Great breakdown! I definitely think you did this song justice! It’s also one of my favorites.
Are you going to react to “Backstage”?
Good analysis yea it been awhile without listening to it but you are on point.
