Why are we still debating this? Real question is, why did we even debate this in the first place???? It’s really simple guys, mentioning Ems daughter is equivalent to killing John Wick’s dog.
Dude I love that the bullseye on his forehead is perfectly aligned with the play button animation so every time you play or pause it fires a shot and you see the "kill shot" animation. So awesome
''So you got me in a scope but you grazed me'' graze beside barely hitting has another meaning which is feeding a goat , EM basically is saying Mgk fed him by his diss at him '' and There is a movie called KILLSHOT , which in that movie someone names COLSON , which is MGK's real name will be hunt down by a MARSHALL , EMINEM's real name, and Em later on says: ''Lethal injection, go to sleep 6 feet deep I'll give you a B for the effort, but if I was 3 Foot 11, you'd look up to me'' if you put the 6 and the B and the 3 and the 11 together , it's gonna be 6B311 , which is the code name of a PLANE that carried the cast of the movie KILLSHOT , EM is literally an alien , THE RAP GOD
You serious? About the whole plane thing?!?! If so that’s crazy, but with em anything is possible em has no fillers! Everything means something he’s to good, I think it’s the only reason ppl don’t like him! Lol
Your breakdowns got me into lyricists. I used to think rap didn’t have much substance but you breaking it down helped me understand all the doubles and triples and multi syllable rhyme schemes. Keep it up!
Pretty sure your original breakdown is what got me on your channel. Been watching all your content ever since. You don't catch em all, but you catch a hell of a lot more than everyone else and always on the first go
The “locks changing” bar also means his hair has changed. Calling back to his weird beard and the fact that he used to bleach his hair too but now he’s older and has darker hair and rhymes…
If you notice: " your reply got the crowd yelling woo, so before you dye let's see who can out petty-who" is a reference to Tom Perry's famous song "Running Down a dream" where the crowd, especially at concerts, would yell WOO continually for 1 minute straight with the guitar solo. It was a staple at Tom Petty concerts. Tom Petty died shortly before this battle. Also, this song was written by Em in 13 minutes and was published on the 14th September 2018 the same date of death of Patrick Swayze ( 14 Sep. 2009). If you search carefully in this part of killshot you can find Eminem's plane number ( on which he wrote the song)
I been watching your breakdowns for a while and your ability not only catch bars but appreciate the change ups and beats and switches in the beat as well and how they bend to the beat and use their voices as instruments. Great job bro.
I love that you acknowledged that you pause and people will complain XD why do people do that. Its analysis. Love your channel bro - keep up the great work.
Hell yeah! That video was almost an hour long and when it was over I was like, “wait, it’s only been like, 10 minutes!” You had me hooked in with your ability to break down all the bars and technicals.
I’m surprised Knox Hill didn’t catch the “toothpick” play on words and double/triple. Eminem says, “ little white toothpick” later he says “you’re loosing the fight you PICKED” play on looking like one and picking the fight literally and in some weird way metaphorically lol.
Great reaction as usual! The sandal bar has never been mentioned by any other reaction channel, and I had the same thought from the very first time hearing it!!
Aint nothin changed but the locks... - Triple Locks - keys to the game The Lox - older rap group from NY the locks - The only thing Em changed was his hair color (the locks) - still deadly on the mic.
Yea but when referring to the lox they haven't changed and have remained one of the most consistent groups ever. I hated that line. I liked the other entendres if he would have left out jadas name leaving out the lox part wouldn't have bothered me. But felt like he wanted a go at kiss which would have been interesting.
@KnoxHill if you want to have your mind blown look at the lyrics at 2:17 in killshot - he says "give jade a kiss". Obvious references to Jadakiss and the kiss of death, but he says it at 2:17. Jadakiss second album was titled Kiss of Death and the 17th track was the title song...Kiss of Death. 2 and 17 - no shot that is coincidence.
Bro bro bro this is not more human and there are still people thinking he is not the🐐 i actually can understand why because this fucking guy is an alien
@@フレドリク I highly doubt he wrote it in 15 minutes honestly. I highly doubt MGK wrote his in the little time they say he did if im being honest. eminem stans come up with the wildest narratives. its also wild how eminem stans hold onto this rap battle and bring it up whenever they can. they be obessed.
I was just listening to that breakdown the other day after listening to it when you first dropped the video. Crazy how you made a part 2. Keep up the great work, Knox!🔥
I think the word you were looking for was "rebuttal" also when he said "ain't nothing change but the lox" he went from the signature blonde hair to natural. Really enjoy your breakdowns Knox, I truly believe Em saw your breakdowns, hope you collab with the Goat soon cuz u deserve it 💯Respect all the way from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
20:23 Yes, it's fastest he went in this Song. He Song is based on mostly 16th and 8th notes and some spicy dotted 8th notes but at this Part He Raps a Quintuplet, which is a pretty complicated drum rhythm, where you Rap 5 Syllables in one beat
I'm loving rap even more now because you're teaching us how to break it down and appreciate the genius skill Em has. I'm a 59 year old poet that loves and respects Eminem. Thank you Knox!
Also he says "here's a autograph for your daughter, i wrote it on a starter cap" not only a call back to "Stan" but also implying the MGK's daughter is a huge fan of Em's, just like Stan's brother was.
Eminem said in Bully that he got money to clap back at anyone who tries to kill him over his raps. Diddy would need witness protection if he decided to do Eminem in. And Diddy knows this which is why he didn't actually "handle" Em like he said he would.
I have listened to these a lot but I am always down to check out more especially from Nasty Knox. Plus the Swayze line hits harder when you realize that the song was released on September 14th the day Patrick passed away.
Something no one caught. Iggy azalea real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly Her most famous song Fancy had the chorus that said " Remember my name I'm about to bloooowwww" Eminem said to mgk " Next to Taylor swift and that Iggy ho. You're about to really blow KELLY" He literally remembered her real name, like she said in the song and said that she thought she would blow with " Fancy" but now she's really gonna blow with him saying her name and he did that while still talking to mgk at the same time That is him dissing 2 artist in one sentence Genius
ye ,comparing mgk looks to them (skinny ,blonde hair,not taking in seriously)also blow can be a refernce to vegas and em raping mgk with killshot,it has so many layers and is so complex the whole song still slaps even now
I can't believe I'm BARELY finding your channel, the way you view music is the EXACT way I view music as well!! I love finding ppl like this, but I can never find ppl like you in my personal life. Lmao they're always influencers or have some kind of social media platform l. 😂
Before I even watch this 2.0 version, Em killed it. All MGK did was mention a ton of Em's biggest hits. It sounded great, but not much substance. Em too everything MGK said and turned it around on him. The line near the end, "As Long as I am Shady, you'll have to stand in my shadow" said it all. MGK got what he wanted out of it though, he got recognition. I had no idea who he was until this and wish I still didn't know who he is.
Thank you Knox, you make my day by making these awesome Eminem reactions. Just know that your videos make me smile man, I wish to meet you some day man thank you so much.
Crazy that your original hit 3.1 million views! But for sure it deserves to! I mean no one breaks bars, rhyme schemes, everything else like Knox hill! Just a fact!
I wonder y other react channels miss SO much. They all say how MGK won and Em was weak. But tbh I think it proves how Em is just on another level. Mad props to u Knox!! Love ur content!!!
I have always thought the line “spend the whole day digging your own grave” was an underrated rebuttal to the music video lol, rarely gets pointed out because it wasn’t as hard of a hit but it was one of the witty ones
As a biologist, one of the crazy line I heard from Kill Shot was the "you broke bitch I have enough money in 02 to burn it in front of you." It basically means that Em had more money than MGK in 2002 (refers that Em has more success than MGK when he was younger) but also when you burn things you need oxygen, which the periodic element for Oxygen is also O2.
I've actually revisited this out of curiosity recently, and it was only then that I'd realized Eminem started the rebuttals even before the Rihanna line! MGK says in spoken tone "when your idols become your rivals", Em uses the rebuttle at the opening saying "when your fans become your haters" 😁
I love all the hidden meanings in Eminem's raps, particularly this one. "One call to Interscope and you Swayze". Patrick Swayze, famous actor, starred in the movie Ghost. To ghost someone, is to cut all ties without any explanation. Not only that, Eminem released this on 14th September, the very day Patrick Swayze passed away from cancer. Coincidence? Clever lyrical play? You decide.
One of the craziest things is that Em released this on September 14th and Patrick Swayze died on September 14. people say it’s a reach but that’s too big of a coincidence to be an accident in my opinion.
24:10 (ish) - In addition to MGK's verse on the Tech N9ne song, he also did a freestyle rap going for Em as well, which if I remember correctly was also released before Kamikaze. And then once Kamikaze came out and MGK heard that he was mentioned in "Not Alike", that's when the infamous "MGK popping champagne" video was posted, and "Rap Devil" was released shortly thereafter.
No reaction/analysis video i’ve seen mentions how hard the “pop champagne to this” line is, in reference to MGK posting that video of himself spraying a bathroom with Veuve just bc Em dissed him on Kamikaze
I think "Ain't nothin' changed but the locks" could also be pointing out how MGK used to have really short and bad hair, but now he's grown it out but that's the only thing that's changed about him.
hey Knox, I may not have been around your channel all that long…but you must have improved, simply do to the fact that you are one of the best breakdown channels on this platform. it’s just to rare to be one of the best without some sort of improvement. that said, keep up the great work my man.
I think people miss the release date for Em's diss was the death anniversary of Patrick Swayze. And people argue Em took too long to respond, think about it.
Honestly u have my favorite reaction videos to killshot .. the majority of people miss 90% of the punch lines, or just don’t get it lol thank you for this
Should have waited glad knox addressed this. I feel alot of reactors miss this triple 17:03 triple for “locks”, em now has alot of power in the rap industry and has changed the locks 🔐 to the industry potentially making it more diverse than simply it being about sex, drugs, and alcohol
Depends on your goal. If MGK wanted to win, no, that was not the right target. But getting press? Absolutely worked. Dude moved to rock/alt, won a Grammy, and has a bigger career now. It's annoying how well it worked. But we got Killshot, so, that's cool.
You are a m o r o n. “Blonde Hair and Earrings Because you think you are Marshall.” Eminem doesn’t even have blonde hair. Eminem imagines MGK in Black leather. WTF. Eminem says MGK can have Kim. What a diss. Says MGK dresses better and references the Rap Devil video. MGK is not wearing a shirt. WTF? Eminem then says MGK can wear his flannel . That was the worst diss track . Eminem had nothing but contradictions. MGK came out with Rap Devil 2018 right after Kamikaze. Eminem last 4 albums Kamikaze, Revival, mm2, Recovery. Eminem was wrong MGK 5(8) 6(4) 7 Punches 8 Mile. 5678 Standing count.Eminem failed to address it. “Twice as Young”- Tay Keith born 7 days after Tupac died. (Killuminati) 7 day theory. Tay Keith was the Producer of “Not Alike.” Not only did MGK pull the 7 day theory he subliminally dissed Eminem for not alike. That’s how you right bars. 7 Punches 8 Mile. 8 mile was 2002- 2002+8+8=2018(You should go Back to Recovery 2010. 2002+8=2010 7 Punches 1996 Eminem starts. But can’t be Tupac (7 Day theory) 1996+7=2003 (The first Beard reference Business but also in songs Berzerk and Deja Vu.) 2003+7=2010 (You should go Back to Recovery 2010) Eminem says in the song “In my head” that he is on the verge of relapse because he’s stuck in recovery. MGK wrote a whole number code based on Tupac 7 day theory. God is 7. Infinite is 8 MGK. Infinite was Eminem’s first release. MGK wrote the best diss track in history. You pretend to be a rap fan
@@curtisholsinger6023 I get you , but we know EM smoked him when we know that if EM wouldn't respond MGK would have kept going with his RAP and RAP would change so much but KILLSHOT literally saved RAP, and absolutely destroyed MGK , before killshot MGK used to do RAP and ROCK and get attention from both but after KILLSHOT his RAP career got beyond destroyed , his whole catalog flopped and even nowadays in ROCK he is not going that hard , one song from EM which was released couple months ago out numbers MGK's entire catalog since KILLSHOT
Still hits so hard all this time later. Can't believe MGK actually thought he had a shot. And about that Pac and Diddy line. Em isn't clearly saying that Diddy put the hit, however he is clearly saying that MGK will never put out a hit song/album because : either Diddy did do it, and he'll never admit to it, or he didn't do it, so he'll never to it.
On the line about diddy putting the hit out that got pac killed I always wondered if that was a double. Like obviously hit like putting out a hit on somebody but wondered if he meant it as hit as in song that diddy put out. I don't know enough about the history of the east coast west coast beef but could be way off
@@fstumbo66 Well Em says " Kells, the day you out a hit's the day Diddy admits he put the hit out that got Pac killed" This to me says that MGK will never put out a hit 'cause Diddy will never admit to putting the hit out on 2PAC because he a) really didn't do it or b) did it and will obviously never admit his guilt Either way, MGK sucks basically
Well mgk is still better in the long run EM called out Kelly for a tweet yet it's ok for em to talk about others daughters like him saying Hillary Duff butt in a song when she was 15 and em never denied he wanted a apology over the tweet when MGK said em was asking for it
You could have reacted to sth else Em related (like Drama Setter by Tony Yayo ft.Eminem and Obie) But attending a funeral a second time was surprisingly entertaining
Bro never misses! Was waiting for you to explain "lethat injection, go to sleep, six feet deep! They are all diss tracks whitch proves once again the genius of slim shady! Keep up the good work brother! Show love to this legend named knox Hill and leave a like and sub! (Waiting for your new music) 🔥
Knox the locks bar was a triple (the locks to the house of rap, the lox, and his hair is different from the last time we saw him so his locks have changed)
Wish you had addressed one of my favorite lines. He says something I don’t really do…molehill I’m going to make a mountain out of you. It’s great because he debated responding and he rarely responds because he can’t win. Even if he destroys MGK, which he did, he gives him unbelievable clout just by responding. So I love how he says, I’m going to make a mountain out of you. That and I like the shovel line. Bring a shovel just to dig your own grave. That hits really hard when you go back and watch the MGK vid
I think it is evident Em won from every standpoint and every metric of the song except replayability, but yet this song isn't meant for that. On a higher note, Em still raps, and MGK does whatever it is he does now
Keep doing what you do man👍 much respect 🫡 Also, a suggestion for the next Mathers Day, check Vegas by Bad meets evil of the Shady XV album….be prepared for a 30min+ video tho 😅
Eminem. And it's not even close. MGK Rap Devil was slightly more catchy. That's it. Em with Killshot addressed all MGKs shit in about 15 seconds, and straight up bodied MGK. And he didn't even go in as hard as he's done in the past. He didn't even eat all the food. He didn't need to.
@@vnewen2157 two totally different circumstances. MGK has always had a foot in rock and he did collage with sleeping with sirens and other rock bands. The feud with Eminem had nothing to do with it. Don't compare a guy like MGK with actual talent to a hack like ja rule
@@shadowedlvnar1635 bro he want to rock because he couldn't hang and he said he wanted to because of the fact that he wanted to cover his ass. Like look I know you are an mgk fan but think about it in a logical way. Why would someone switch genres out of nowhere because if he would have swapped before because he wanted to then it would make sense but after the rap beef it was obvious that it hurt is rap pride and he hasn't been the same ever since
Hey Knox, love the video, just one thing, with the line “the day you put out a hit is the day Diddy admits he put the hit out that got pac killed” is Em saying that MGK will never put out a hit, because diddy didn’t kill Pac
One thing about emz "flip" dis track that we may be missing is that, he may have chosen the approach to "flip" everything MGK said to further show how intelligent em really is by relating his symbolic middle finger gesture (flipping the bird) to the flipping off everything MGK line he came at him with. Hope that made sense lol. During the process of preparing the MGK response from eminem, there was a video of em playing pacman on an arcade machine which was another subliminal hit as if to say "im coming for your neck as MGK has a pacman tattoo on his neck. The man's on level 1000. Em fan. If this would be an actual fact, em wins but thats just my opinion 🤷
I'm gonna regret this, but here's my take This beef was a stalemate. Neither won. Eminem called it in on this one and didnt put his usual diss track passion into it. He COULD HAVE outright forced a retirement but there's a lot of "i'mma help you out" vibes from Killshot. His rhyme scheme is among his best, but it made each punch appear to hit harder than it actually did. Now, to pick apart a few things, the man bun was only there for Bird Box filming then MGK ditched it right after, which shoulda been known by Eminem, so that's a miss. Another one is the mention about which album number Recovery was, which confused me even on the very first listen cause i'm pretty sure EPs and LPs still count as albums, so Em felt like he was trying to force something there... MGK was being praised for having the best diss track against Eminem every single day until Killshot came out, then interestingly that mention just disappeared. He even calls out some stuff that Eminem did NOT address whatsoever (are you really gonna count that scripted interview? I love Eminem but even that was pathetic for him. Let's be real here) outside of the Sway interview, which those were even pretty bad explanations and not convincing whatsoever... MGK was on his game and wrote that shit in 1 evening? Em took over a week and came out with Killshot... There's a lot more but i'd rather avoid getting my inbox blown tf up, but I never hear the above mentioned in various takes i've heard. MGK likely saw that Killshot wasnt what it coulda been, and decided to roll with that wave instead of attacking back. Should he have? Absolutely, but I'm pretty sure I see why he didnt, and why he's been furious about the beef since. He wanted to respond so bad, you can see it, but it wouldnt have helped him at all. If MGK were to wait till after his next album (current day) then I can see him making a more massive crater I;m a big fan of both, but I'm not wild about how Em handled his response.
@@jhorse6968 The results speak for themselves. MGK got bigger (crazier, yes, but also more of a big name too), he improved his raps, he proved he can succeed multi-genere. The hits didnt hit as hard as people think. Now, if this kept going beyond Killshot? 100% wouldve ended MGK. And I was a kid when Em dropped his first album so, I've been around his music long enough to know that he pulled his punches, and very noticably.
I love how no one talks about the heaps of misinformation in killshot, mgk is not a mumble rapper, the man bun was from 2014-2015 years before the beef which was for a movie role, em didn't make or destroy his career, mgk had plenty of hits before the beef like wild boy and bad things, he does not have more fans than him in Cleveland that's the biggest lie I've ever heard in my life he literally has a whole holiday in Cleveland. I did like killshot tho the track is fire but half the people that review this beef are biased towards eminem and that's facts
I mean the whole point of a diss track is to troll the other person and get under their skin. Calling someone a mumble rapper and making fun of his style choices (even if forced upon him) is a great way to do it. Dont know about Em having more fans in Cleveland, but Em has more fans in the entire world, so statistically could be probable that he also has more fans in Cleveland, but that could very well be another try to get under MGKs skin. And it worked like a charm.
Mgk did a mumble rap album named binge and have collars with mumble rappers so yes he did do mumble rap that makes I’m a mumble rapper,he also had a man bun,doesn’t matter why he had it,he was still rapping with a man bun lol,nobody knew who mgk was until he mentioned Eminem and to this day most ppl still don’t know 5 mgk songs so yes Eminem made him famous and destroyed his rap career hence why he doing punk rock,drinking blood and all type of weird shit,what hits did mgk have that the world knows about?stop capping outside of rap devil nobody knows any song from mgk,and Eminem do have more fans in Cleveland than mgk,that like saying lebron is bigger in Cleveland than Jordan😑stop it
@@haraldsknopkens8401 Eminem has more fans than mgk n clevnd,keep in mind it’s mostly w ppl who even listens to mgk whereas Eminem has both white and black ppl as fans even Asians,so how would mgk have more fans anywhere than ‘em?mgk fans just talking for talking sake
Does a diss track have to be 100% accurate? I am pretty sure that Rap of any kind is full of metaphors. Mgk set himself up for everything that Eminem said back to him.

''So you got me in a scope but you grazed me''
graze beside barely hitting has another meaning which is feeding a goat , EM basically is saying Mgk fed him by his diss at him ''
and There is a movie called KILLSHOT , which in that movie someone names COLSON , which is MGK's real name will be hunt down by a MARSHALL , EMINEM's real name, and Em later on says:
''Lethal injection, go to sleep 6 feet deep
I'll give you a B for the effort, but if I was 3
Foot 11, you'd look up to me''
if you put the 6 and the B and the 3 and the 11 together ,
it's gonna be 6B311 , which is the code name of a PLANE that carried the cast of the movie KILLSHOT ,
EM is literally an alien , THE RAP GOD
Oh shit. I didn't know the plane code name bit, that's nuts.
You serious? About the whole plane thing?!?! If so that’s crazy, but with em anything is possible em has no fillers! Everything means something he’s to good, I think it’s the only reason ppl don’t like him! Lol

I'm buying what your selling... none of that is coincidence
I've had a feeling like Ems been throwing stuff in there I just couldn't catch without looking deeper... There it is. The layers though....
Just a classic, it never gets old to listen to Eminem's diss. As always a fantastic and enjoyable breakdown by professor of bars Knox hill.
I been watching your breakdowns for a while and your ability not only catch bars but appreciate the change ups and beats and switches in the beat as well and how they bend to the beat and use their voices as instruments. Great job bro.

Knox videos are my way to understand hip hop and appreciate it more
Em is too lyrical even for lyrical rap fans. He always has some sick shit that some may never figure out.
I’m surprised Knox Hill didn’t catch the “toothpick” play on words and double/triple. Eminem says, “ little white toothpick” later he says “you’re loosing the fight you PICKED” play on looking like one and picking the fight literally and in some weird way metaphorically lol.
Great reaction as usual! The sandal bar has never been mentioned by any other reaction channel, and I had the same thought from the very first time hearing it!!
Aint nothin changed but the locks... - Triple
Locks - keys to the game
The Lox - older rap group from NY
the locks - The only thing Em changed was his hair color (the locks) - still deadly on the mic.
Yea but when referring to the lox they haven't changed and have remained one of the most consistent groups ever. I hated that line.

That's not a bar
Eminem said in Bully that he got money to clap back at anyone who tries to kill him over his raps. Diddy would need witness protection if he decided to do Eminem in. And Diddy knows this which is why he didn't actually "handle" Em like he said he would.
I have listened to these a lot but I am always down to check out more especially from Nasty Knox. Plus the Swayze line hits harder when you realize that the song was released on September 14th the day Patrick passed away.
Great dancer miss him also❤❤❤❤🔥🙏🙏🙏😒😭🌹🌷👑
Love his movies
So sad. Greatest man
Something no one caught.
Iggy azalea real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly
Her most famous song Fancy had the chorus that said
" Remember my name I'm about to bloooowwww"
Eminem said to mgk " Next to Taylor swift and that Iggy ho. You're about to really blow KELLY"
He literally remembered her real name, like she said in the song and said that she thought she would blow with " Fancy" but now she's really gonna blow with him saying her name and he did that while still talking to mgk at the same time
That is him dissing 2 artist in one sentence
Genius
ye ,comparing mgk looks to them (skinny ,blonde hair,not taking in seriously)also blow can be a refernce to vegas and em raping mgk with killshot,it has so many layers and is so complex the whole song still slaps even now
You should breakdown all the best hip hop beefs it would be a dope series
Gotta wake up labor day to DISS
I can't believe I'm BARELY finding your channel, the way you view music is the EXACT way I view music as well!! I love finding ppl like this, but I can never find ppl like you in my personal life. Lmao they're always influencers or have some kind of social media platform l. 😂
Before I even watch this 2.0 version, Em killed it. All MGK did was mention a ton of Em's biggest hits. It sounded great, but not much substance. Em too everything MGK said and turned it around on him. The line near the end, "As Long as I am Shady, you'll have to stand in my shadow" said it all. MGK got what he wanted out of it though, he got recognition. I had no idea who he was until this and wish I still didn't know who he is.
Thank you Knox, you make my day by making these awesome Eminem reactions. Just know that your videos make me smile man, I wish to meet you some day man thank you so much.
This has got to be the longest funeral ever! 4 years and we’re still attending
Still here in 2024 lol
“Nothin changed but the locks” is also a reference to him changing from bleach blonde back to his natural hair color. Locks of hair.
Crazy that your original hit 3.1 million views! But for sure it deserves to! I mean no one breaks bars, rhyme schemes, everything else like Knox hill! Just a fact!
4:34 That BASS drop gets me every time! 💨
Just here to say congrats on 900k!
Comment for the bloody algorithm!
I wonder y other react channels miss SO much. They all say how MGK won and Em was weak. But tbh I think it proves how Em is just on another level. Mad props to u Knox!! Love ur content!!!
I have always thought the line “spend the whole day digging your own grave” was an underrated rebuttal to the music video lol, rarely gets pointed out because it wasn’t as hard of a hit but it was one of the witty ones
Only uploaded 7 seconds ago and I know its gonna be a banger! (btw loving the Ren reactions, keep 'em coming!)
Every rhymes breakdown n lyrics punchlines of em never get old 💥💥🔥❤️
The labor day bar has to be one of my favorite bars in this diss track because it's just an amazing yet simple double.
As a biologist, one of the crazy line I heard from Kill Shot was the "you broke bitch I have enough money in 02 to burn it in front of you."
It basically means that Em had more money than MGK in 2002 (refers that Em has more success than MGK when he was younger) but also when you burn things you need oxygen, which the periodic element for Oxygen is also O2.
that was probably unintentional but still cool. and "in" sounds like "n" so i see how that could work
Deja vu all over again. Good thing I never get tired of Eminem. Or you. Thanks, Knox. 🔥🤘🏼❤️
I've actually revisited this out of curiosity recently, and it was only then that I'd realized Eminem started the rebuttals even before the Rihanna line! MGK says in spoken tone "when your idols become your rivals", Em uses the rebuttle at the opening saying "when your fans become your haters"
😁
3 million! Sheeesh bless up bruhh
Fun fact, "Killshot" dropped on the anniversary of Patrick Swayze's death. 🤯
I love all the hidden meanings in Eminem's raps, particularly this one. "One call to Interscope and you Swayze". Patrick Swayze, famous actor, starred in the movie Ghost. To ghost someone, is to cut all ties without any explanation. Not only that, Eminem released this on 14th September, the very day Patrick Swayze passed away from cancer. Coincidence? Clever lyrical play? You decide.
Clever lyrical play thats why he is the 🐐
Em's the closest we have to a modern day Shakespeare.
FYI 311 was the number you used to call to look up info back in the day. For me that bar hits HARD
One of the craziest things is that Em released this on September 14th and Patrick Swayze died on September 14. people say it’s a reach but that’s too big of a coincidence to be an accident in my opinion.
24:10 (ish) - In addition to MGK's verse on the Tech N9ne song, he also did a freestyle rap going for Em as well, which if I remember correctly was also released before Kamikaze. And then once Kamikaze came out and MGK heard that he was mentioned in "Not Alike", that's when the infamous "MGK popping champagne" video was posted, and "Rap Devil" was released shortly thereafter.
Shady is just someone you don't want to go after, unless you are fed up with your career and want it to end.
I'm enjoying the little tidbits of information the comments section is adding to this topic!
To add to the diddy going to take care of him part, Em even poked the bear again with “I’m diddys side bitch… I’m still east side bitch”
No reaction/analysis video i’ve seen mentions how hard the “pop champagne to this” line is, in reference to MGK posting that video of himself spraying a bathroom with Veuve just bc Em dissed him on Kamikaze
I think "Ain't nothin' changed but the locks" could also be pointing out how MGK used to have really short and bad hair, but now he's grown it out but that's the only thing that's changed about him.
hey Knox, I may not have been around your channel all that long…but you must have improved, simply do to the fact that you are one of the best breakdown channels on this platform. it’s just to rare to be one of the best without some sort of improvement. that said, keep up the great work my man.
Man, I remember the first time I heard the ditty line, and every reaction video that I watched, that shit shook the Earth
That line hits different now in 2024
Lol I'm not listing the time stamp but I wanted to say I never hate on you pressing the pause button. We love the breakdowns
As always, on point. I really enjoy your breakdown 🙂
These tracks actually got me into listening to Eminem for a while, the reactions at the time were super interesting!
I think people miss the release date for Em's diss was the death anniversary of Patrick Swayze. And people argue Em took too long to respond, think about it.
Honestly u have my favorite reaction videos to killshot .. the majority of people miss 90% of the punch lines, or just don’t get it lol thank you for this
Should have waited glad knox addressed this. I feel alot of reactors miss this triple
17:03 triple for “locks”, em now has alot of power in the rap industry and has changed the locks 🔐 to the industry potentially making it more diverse than simply it being about sex, drugs, and alcohol
ALMOST A MILLY MAN!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU BRO
Every damn time I listen to KILLSHOT , it gets me and hypes me up cuz of how lethal and true it is , RIP MGK , you should have picked the right guy
Depends on your goal. If MGK wanted to win, no, that was not the right target. But getting press? Absolutely worked. Dude moved to rock/alt, won a Grammy, and has a bigger career now. It's annoying how well it worked. But we got Killshot, so, that's cool.
You are a m o r o n. “Blonde Hair and Earrings Because you think you are Marshall.” Eminem doesn’t even have blonde hair. Eminem imagines MGK in Black leather. WTF. Eminem says MGK can have Kim. What a diss. Says MGK dresses better and references the Rap Devil video. MGK is not wearing a shirt. WTF? Eminem then says MGK can wear his flannel . That was the worst diss track . Eminem had nothing but contradictions. MGK came out with Rap Devil 2018 right after Kamikaze. Eminem last 4 albums Kamikaze, Revival, mm2, Recovery. Eminem was wrong
MGK 5(8) 6(4) 7 Punches 8 Mile.
5678 Standing count.Eminem failed to address it.
“Twice as Young”- Tay Keith born 7 days after Tupac died. (Killuminati) 7 day theory. Tay Keith was the Producer of “Not Alike.” Not only did MGK pull the 7 day theory he subliminally dissed Eminem for not alike. That’s how you right bars.
7 Punches 8 Mile.
8 mile was 2002- 2002+8+8=2018(You should go Back to Recovery 2010. 2002+8=2010
7 Punches 1996 Eminem starts. But can’t be Tupac (7 Day theory) 1996+7=2003 (The first Beard reference Business but also in songs Berzerk and Deja Vu.) 2003+7=2010 (You should go Back to Recovery 2010) Eminem says in the song “In my head” that he is on the verge of relapse because he’s stuck in recovery. MGK wrote a whole number code based on Tupac 7 day theory.
God is 7. Infinite is 8 MGK. Infinite was Eminem’s first release. MGK wrote the best diss track in history. You pretend to be a rap fan
@@curtisholsinger6023 who cares about a stupid Grammy nowadays tho?
@J Hoop fax
@@curtisholsinger6023 I get you , but we know EM smoked him when we know that if EM wouldn't respond MGK would have kept going with his RAP and RAP would change so much but KILLSHOT literally saved RAP, and absolutely destroyed MGK , before killshot MGK used to do RAP and ROCK and get attention from both but after KILLSHOT his RAP career got beyond destroyed , his whole catalog flopped and even nowadays in ROCK he is not going that hard ,
one song from EM which was released couple months ago out numbers MGK's entire catalog since KILLSHOT
Still hits so hard all this time later. Can't believe MGK actually thought he had a shot.
And about that Pac and Diddy line. Em isn't clearly saying that Diddy put the hit, however he is clearly saying that MGK will never put out a hit song/album because : either Diddy did do it, and he'll never admit to it, or he didn't do it, so he'll never to it.
On the line about diddy putting the hit out that got pac killed I always wondered if that was a double. Like obviously hit like putting out a hit on somebody but wondered if he meant it as hit as in song that diddy put out. I don't know enough about the history of the east coast west coast beef but could be way off
@@fstumbo66 Well Em says " Kells, the day you out a hit's the day Diddy admits he put the hit out that got Pac killed"
This to me says that MGK will never put out a hit 'cause Diddy will never admit to putting the hit out on 2PAC because he a) really didn't do it or b) did it and will obviously never admit his guilt
Either way, MGK sucks basically
Well mgk is still better in the long run EM called out Kelly for a tweet yet it's ok for em to talk about others daughters like him saying Hillary Duff butt in a song when she was 15 and em never denied he wanted a apology over the tweet when MGK said em was asking for it
@@johns3153lol what 😂😂
@@johns3153 😂
Knox, when are we getting a warning shot break down?
Em don’t get enough credit for his adlibs. I’m sure he wasn’t the fist to do funny punchline noises, but it really adds a depth to the music
The longest funeral in the history we are still attend in 2023
Bar Catching TH-camrs
1. Knox hill
2. Stevie knight
3. The third Ernest
These guys make you appreciate the hip hop art MORE. WAAAAAAY MORE
Fax
You could have reacted to sth else Em related (like Drama Setter by Tony Yayo ft.Eminem and Obie)
But attending a funeral a second time was surprisingly entertaining
Don't forget Knox hill the Swayze line has another meaning he dropped this song on his anniversary of his death
We revisited this?!??!! Okay okayyyyy
Love these vids please keep them coming 👍
Bro never misses! Was waiting for you to explain "lethat injection, go to sleep, six feet deep! They are all diss tracks whitch proves once again the genius of slim shady! Keep up the good work brother! Show love to this legend named knox Hill and leave a like and sub! (Waiting for your new music) 🔥
Knox the locks bar was a triple (the locks to the house of rap, the lox, and his hair is different from the last time we saw him so his locks have changed)
Wish you had addressed one of my favorite lines. He says something I don’t really do…molehill I’m going to make a mountain out of you.
It’s great because he debated responding and he rarely responds because he can’t win. Even if he destroys MGK, which he did, he gives him unbelievable clout just by responding.
So I love how he says, I’m going to make a mountain out of you.
That and I like the shovel line. Bring a shovel just to dig your own grave. That hits really hard when you go back and watch the MGK vid
1. The Eminem Show
2. The MMLP
3. The SSLP
4. Recovery
5. MMLP2
6. MTBMB
7. Encore
8. Relapse
9. Revival
10. Kamikaze (too short)
I think it is evident Em won from every standpoint and every metric of the song except replayability, but yet this song isn't meant for that. On a higher note, Em still raps, and MGK does whatever it is he does now
Mgk still raps aswell tf?? He made a whole rap album after the beef with like 5 songs with 50 million views each
I got this song on my playlist, abd love to replay it pretty often
I still play Killshot regularly
@@leohoutarou9980 just checked, 2 songs with 30 million views, which is good but nowhere near "5 songs with 50 Million", thats 190 million less...
@@leohoutarou9980 also pmgk said that hotel diablo did bad comercially cause of the feud so your point?
The rhymes don’t stop.
The punchlines don’t stop.
Great breakdown as always
Keep doing what you do man👍 much respect 🫡
Also, a suggestion for the next Mathers Day, check Vegas by Bad meets evil of the Shady XV album….be prepared for a 30min+ video tho 😅
One thing I've never heard anyone say is how the weird beard line is a call back to eminem saying that in a previous song
Eminem. And it's not even close.
MGK Rap Devil was slightly more catchy. That's it.
Em with Killshot addressed all MGKs shit in about 15 seconds, and straight up bodied MGK. And he didn't even go in as hard as he's done in the past. He didn't even eat all the food. He didn't need to.
You know I love you knox! Just been a min
Killshot hit MGK so hard that it knocked him out of rap and into a whole different genre
You're actually wrong. He went rock because he wanted to, not because of the beef smh
@@shadowedlvnar1635 yes and Ja Rule also disappeared into oblivion because he just wanted to 😂
Smacked him so hard his X chromosome lost a right leg.
@@vnewen2157 two totally different circumstances. MGK has always had a foot in rock and he did collage with sleeping with sirens and other rock bands. The feud with Eminem had nothing to do with it. Don't compare a guy like MGK with actual talent to a hack like ja rule
@@shadowedlvnar1635 bro he want to rock because he couldn't hang and he said he wanted to because of the fact that he wanted to cover his ass. Like look I know you are an mgk fan but think about it in a logical way. Why would someone switch genres out of nowhere because if he would have swapped before because he wanted to then it would make sense but after the rap beef it was obvious that it hurt is rap pride and he hasn't been the same ever since
Hey Knox, love the video, just one thing, with the line “the day you put out a hit is the day Diddy admits he put the hit out that got pac killed” is Em saying that MGK will never put out a hit, because diddy didn’t kill Pac
One thing about emz "flip" dis track that we may be missing is that, he may have chosen the approach to "flip" everything MGK said to further show how intelligent em really is by relating his symbolic middle finger gesture (flipping the bird) to the flipping off everything MGK line he came at him with. Hope that made sense lol. During the process of preparing the MGK response from eminem, there was a video of em playing pacman on an arcade machine which was another subliminal hit as if to say "im coming for your neck as MGK has a pacman tattoo on his neck. The man's on level 1000. Em fan. If this would be an actual fact, em wins but thats just my opinion 🤷
The Swayze line ALSO references the release date of the song: September 14, the anniversary of Patrick Swayze’s death.
🎉🎉❤❤ I guess no one realizes that Patrick Swayze died September 14 2009 and Eminem drop kill shot September 14 2018 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😅😅😅😅😅
It was for the Swayze line in the track to hit harder
It seems the “reading material, dictionary” is a double when you hear the paper rip like he’s using it for wipe with
I'm gonna regret this, but here's my take
This beef was a stalemate. Neither won.
Eminem called it in on this one and didnt put his usual diss track passion into it. He COULD HAVE outright forced a retirement but there's a lot of "i'mma help you out" vibes from Killshot. His rhyme scheme is among his best, but it made each punch appear to hit harder than it actually did. Now, to pick apart a few things, the man bun was only there for Bird Box filming then MGK ditched it right after, which shoulda been known by Eminem, so that's a miss. Another one is the mention about which album number Recovery was, which confused me even on the very first listen cause i'm pretty sure EPs and LPs still count as albums, so Em felt like he was trying to force something there...
MGK was being praised for having the best diss track against Eminem every single day until Killshot came out, then interestingly that mention just disappeared. He even calls out some stuff that Eminem did NOT address whatsoever (are you really gonna count that scripted interview? I love Eminem but even that was pathetic for him. Let's be real here) outside of the Sway interview, which those were even pretty bad explanations and not convincing whatsoever... MGK was on his game and wrote that shit in 1 evening? Em took over a week and came out with Killshot...
There's a lot more but i'd rather avoid getting my inbox blown tf up, but I never hear the above mentioned in various takes i've heard. MGK likely saw that Killshot wasnt what it coulda been, and decided to roll with that wave instead of attacking back. Should he have? Absolutely, but I'm pretty sure I see why he didnt, and why he's been furious about the beef since. He wanted to respond so bad, you can see it, but it wouldnt have helped him at all. If MGK were to wait till after his next album (current day) then I can see him making a more massive crater
I;m a big fan of both, but I'm not wild about how Em handled his response.
Eminem DESTROYED MGK here. Dafuq drugs are you on?? Or are you a teenager?
@@jhorse6968 The results speak for themselves. MGK got bigger (crazier, yes, but also more of a big name too), he improved his raps, he proved he can succeed multi-genere. The hits didnt hit as hard as people think. Now, if this kept going beyond Killshot? 100% wouldve ended MGK. And I was a kid when Em dropped his first album so, I've been around his music long enough to know that he pulled his punches, and very noticably.
Knox over here kicking dirt into the grave of MGKs rap career still with that intro.
I love how no one talks about the heaps of misinformation in killshot, mgk is not a mumble rapper, the man bun was from 2014-2015 years before the beef which was for a movie role, em didn't make or destroy his career, mgk had plenty of hits before the beef like wild boy and bad things, he does not have more fans than him in Cleveland that's the biggest lie I've ever heard in my life he literally has a whole holiday in Cleveland. I did like killshot tho the track is fire but half the people that review this beef are biased towards eminem and that's facts
I mean the whole point of a diss track is to troll the other person and get under their skin. Calling someone a mumble rapper and making fun of his style choices (even if forced upon him) is a great way to do it. Dont know about Em having more fans in Cleveland, but Em has more fans in the entire world, so statistically could be probable that he also has more fans in Cleveland, but that could very well be another try to get under MGKs skin. And it worked like a charm.
Mgk did a mumble rap album named binge and have collars with mumble rappers so yes he did do mumble rap that makes I’m a mumble rapper,he also had a man bun,doesn’t matter why he had it,he was still rapping with a man bun lol,nobody knew who mgk was until he mentioned Eminem and to this day most ppl still don’t know 5 mgk songs so yes Eminem made him famous and destroyed his rap career hence why he doing punk rock,drinking blood and all type of weird shit,what hits did mgk have that the world knows about?stop capping outside of rap devil nobody knows any song from mgk,and Eminem do have more fans in Cleveland than mgk,that like saying lebron is bigger in Cleveland than Jordan😑stop it
@@haraldsknopkens8401 Eminem has more fans than mgk n clevnd,keep in mind it’s mostly w ppl who even listens to mgk whereas Eminem has both white and black ppl as fans even Asians,so how would mgk have more fans anywhere than ‘em?mgk fans just talking for talking sake
Does a diss track have to be 100% accurate? I am pretty sure that Rap of any kind is full of metaphors. Mgk set himself up for everything that Eminem said back to him.
I love how you didn’t talk about the heaps of misinformation in mgks diss just ems when they both made petty insults but Em showed him how it’s done 😂
This is my fav line to reference still today:
"here is your moment... Had to give you a career to Destroy it"
Never heard about MGK before Eminem diss. Never heard about MGK after Eminem diss.
Knox, nothing but one thing…always your fan!
