Mr. Knox “is” the Eminem of reaction/dissecting channels!!! ..... take notes newbies! That’s how you truly dissect a song! Love all your videos! Mahalo from Hawaii! 🌴🌈🌺🏄🏽
I can't believe it man, "I can take all of you m'fers on at once, you wanted Shady you got him" still gives me goosebumps. I never knew how badly I wanted to hear those words, until he said it.
Best break down reactor, hands down. I love No life Shaq, he's entertaining AF, but you need Knox if you're looking to catch all the meaning in the bars.
Facts. Shaq just likes to have fun with his reactions and gives people a good laugh lol 😂 but he can actually catch some of them when he really wants to.
I see Knox and Shaq as Bugs Bunny and the Tasmanian Devil. Both are entertaining in separate ways if you pay attention to one at a time, but only one of them is going to explain stuff and move a narrative.
Man...i love your break down vids. 9 tines out of 10...especially with Em vids...youll catch 100 more things than i will. Catching the doubles and triples and honestly that makes me appreciate the genious of Em even more but also appreciate your breakdowns more. Your not just a talkin head like 90% of the other reaction/breakdown channels. Respect Knox.
@@ToxicBottledOstrichNostrils Yeah, you can tell how genuine it was. Imagine your biggest inspiration/idol calling you out as an example of talented people that they've inspired. I'm sure that that moment is/was one of the most surreal moments of his life. Hopsin is such a down to earth dude, I hope he gets a feature from Em one day. He said Ill Mind 10 would be the finale for the series, and it'll either be what he considers the best one possible by himself, or use it for getting "the biggest feature possible." Obviously I think he's hopeful that he could land Eminem on a feature for Ill Mind's finale. That would be so dope.
That Elvis catch was dope. You by far give the best reactions I've heard. Not only do you catch more references but you also break down the word play and cadence. You appeal to both the casual listener and someone who really appreciates and understands a true MC. On top of that, I just heard 'Chaos Theory' and I dig it. Keep it up bro!
Big shoutout to you Knox, you‘re literally the first guy I‘ve seen react to this song who picked up on the Watergate line and the reference to the watergate scandal. Always nice when people when people have this sort of general knowleadge, it just enables you to appreciate Em‘s genius even more.
Idk if this has been pointed out yet, but the "Like that feature when I stole the show ~ sorry if I took forever" There's another entendre (or two) there. In 2003, Eminem was nominated for and won an Oscar for Best Soundtrack - "Lose Yourself". It was the first ever hip-hop song to win and he, the first hip-hop artist to win. He was not there, having snubbed the Oscars, so someone else collected the award on his behalf... Fast-forward... Eminem finally DID pull a surprise performance for "Lose Yourself" at the Oscars, aka "like that feature" (feature film) when no one knew he was coming, and it was 17 YEARS after Lose Yourself had WON the award ("sorry if I took forever"). But what the hadn't expected was by 2020, technology had changed drastically, everything could be streaming live, and ratings were down exponentially due to the racial discrimination and sexual scandals that dubbed the Oscars "Oscars So White" and Harvey Weinstein scandal, so many tensions and slander ~ people just hadn't been tolerating and viewing. Well, when Eminem popped up unexpectedly to perform, I'm talking the second he hit the stage, due to technology, news hit Twitter and BAM. Everyone jumped on television, livestreams, whatever. All of the small streaming site crashed and many of the main top news livestreams momentarily crashed, people were going crazy! The Academy decided to rush his performance on TH-cam like they were doing all night ~ so everytime someone won something or performed something, approximately 3-5 minutes later, it'd be uploaded ~ no big deal, right? Well. Lmao. What happened was, after Em performed, the ratings dropped right back down, even lower than before, and that's all anyone was talking about. The majority of the audience, and all the buzz, shot straight over to TH-cam to watch Eminem's performance, and it shot up in views so damn fast so quickly that not only did he "steal the show" but they eventually decided to take down the video!! From what we know, this is the ONLY video that the Academy has taken down for no good reason other than because it hurt their feelings! That is the power of Eminem and what he did, only he can do. He literally broke the Oscars the damn treasured Academy, the holy grail of film, twice, in 17 years. That is why the line is so epic.
3 years late to this but my guy kamikaze came out like 2018 i think and fall was in the album kamikaze so how is eminem referencing something that will happen 2 years in the future? you did not cook my guy
The took Forever line also refers to the show where Drake brought on Eminem as a surprise appearance when preforming Forever...and literally it went from. Drake concert to an Eminem one haha
Knox the venom character is actually representing shady cause shady was killed in the end of bad guy, so Eminem says also you wanted shady you got him.. So this song is actually bringing back shady and also so many scenes playing on the shadow visuals too..
When or where did eminem ever diss Wayne or drake. You'll the type the last year found out about em and talking shit. If you really now em you'll know how he feels about both Wayne and drake
For everyone thinking that the dark figure in the video is Venom, you're kind of missing the gist of the video because it's NOT JUST Venom, it's SHADY. This is why: the gist of the video is that, after Marshall been trying to avoid being Slim Shady, the more malicious, dark, monstrous version of Em all these years, Shady’s (that part of him) finally been reawakened, and throughout the majority of the video, Em’s like, “Oh, no, I don’t want that part of me to exist in me anymore because I almost lost myself as Shady was taking over me.” But in the end, he’s like, “Screw it, if people want Shady back so bad, they’re gonna get him.” That’s why at the end of the first verse of this song, Em says, “You want Shady! You got him!” So, at the end of the video, he finally bonds with him.
20:20 “Every parasite needs a host” 😳 I know the timeline is completely off. And its impossible and a total reach, BUT it just popped into my head this moment, that the director of the movie “Parasite,” the Korean movie that won 4 Oscars last year, made a name for himself bursting into the movie scene at the Canne film festivals with his film “The Host.” 😳 Parasite. The Host. Award shows...🤔🤔🤔😱 “Every *PARASITE* NEEDS a *HOST”* as in...the director needed the movie “the Host” to blow up first, to make the classic “Parasite” that killed EVERY film festival and Award Show, including the Oscars, years later?!? 😱😱😱😱😱😱 Eminem is now literally writing quadruple entendre bars about things before they even happen. He literally IS the *RAPGOD* foreseeing the future hidden in his bars and shit!!!! 😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯 W T F. Nostradamus Bars up in this bitch. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kamikaze dropped 2018. The Parasite killed the Oscars in 2019. Eminem on his Nostradamus shit now. Btw, Nostradamus wrote his predictions in poems too.
@@samsaumaralikhan that's why I wish Eminem didn't put it in his kamikaze tracklist. If Nice guy and venom weren't in the tracklist then kamikaze would probably be a 9/10.
Knox is the only youtuber that is acceptable for him to stop every second because Knox really digs up the song.Knox ur music is awesome love it and keep up the great work my man.
Ems intelligence is insane. Those triple and double meanings are so sick, and you caught every one. Takes one to know one, much love. So happy you broke down every single hidden meaning for those that didn’t catch it. You gained a new follower here! Your bars are sick as well!!
One of my favorites from Kamikaze. It’s crazy, I already love Eminem but the way you breakdown his music makes me love and appreciate him even more. I really love your channel. Speaking of Hopsin if you haven’t heard his recent song “Kumbaya” I would love a reaction to that. The beat is 🔥🔥🔥
I am from Europe, but I am willing to fly tommorow morning to wherever he is, sit there and just listen for hours to whatever he has on mind. Mad respect.
If I remember correctly I believe he was playing a pac-man arcade game on Tupac anniversary days before in remembrance. Then he dropped kill shot on Patrick Swayze anniversary death. If I’m wrong I stand corrected. Hope that helps
you gotta react to eminem right for me, i know you’ll love it such an underrated song! also chaos theory was so good man i’ve had it on repeat! also i’m early, sweet excited for this reaction!
eminem is the goat, no debate. its crazy also when you think about like white rappers in general, every white rapper gonna live in hes shadow like literally FOR EVER its crazy when you think about it, theres never gonna be better white rapper than eminem
“Better check your car cause I’m barely even started” but if you hear the double he is saying carcass because if you are scared he hasn’t even begun to lay into you with his bars. Genius.
better check your car=car has an engine and he says i'm barely even started when you start your car you got 2 turn your engine on also engine can be your head as in thoughts better check your brain/head because i'm barely even started going at you...
Em is totally a genius. An you break him down perfectly. My daughter and myself ride around when he has a new album released until we break them down. Took us all the way from Michigan to Florida for this album. Fun times fosho!!
Wow! That is amazing. I love that for you and your daughter. Idk her age, but regardless she will remember that tradition forever. I wish my mom loved Em as much as me! That’s dope. ❤️ for some reason this made my heart really warm, I wish you guys the best ☺️
@@lexiebabie Awe honey thank you. She was 33 at the time. Her and I are very close. I raised her on all types of music and arts. It's how we share the old and new. I wish we did know you. We would pick you up in our travels to join the crazy train ( my mom calls it!) LOL. Thanks honey you made us happy to hear not everyone thinks we're crazy!!
Your reactions are my absolute favorite and i will keep watching them, you're an inspiration man. Keep putting out great videos for all your fans to enjoy!
Great review bruh. I missed alot of these lyrical double and triple layers you have now explained. Thank you, keep up the good work and keep them vids coming.
Ok so I just started watching your channel but thank you for breaking this down. I understand some of what he says but some just go over my head. You explaining all the meanings really makes me appreciate his music even more. Love your channel.
This is my first time seeing your video and you know your facts mate! You explained everything perfectly! I'm seeing Eminem in a whole new light after this video. And you too, best reaction ever! Keep doing what you're doing
It’s the millionth time for me to listen to the track and I just caught it, in the opening lines when he says “Gotta concentrate against the clock I race” ‘concentrate’ can also be a homophone for ‘constant rate’ which ties perfectly with “I got a marathoner’s pace” where he’s pacing himself with a constant speed against the time! Amazing how you can still find stuff fresh in his lyrics years later!
It's crazy that Em's had 14 #1 albums (SSLP was #2) and 15 that went Platinum when you include both D12 albums, 8 Mile OST, and Bad Meets Evil, in the last 21 years! Definitely a marathoners pace!
Bruh! I started listening to no life shaq when he only had 60k subs, and he is tip notch AF, but I am glad I found you. I got mad respect the way you break it down. Most people can't hear music and the way it was intended to hear. You hear the real bars the talent 👏 eminem had put forward 🙌 most people see the obvious, but not all the triples and how he brings it back. I really can't explain it all but mad respect bruh. I have been waiting to see someone break it down the way you do. Being a top notch MC is something that was lost. I have been listening to your music and it's pretty dope my brotha. Really raps will always be recognized by the real 💯 👌 you keep doing you, and I pray life brings you what you want. I am completely shocked that you catch every punch line. MAN definitely impressed bruh🤜🤛 I am just a white boy from the bay area that loves lyrical music, God bless the real
Em also said in a Interview he wasn't espacially dissing Drake, Em is cool with him. He says that in the Kamikaze Interview with Sway.(Sorry for my bad english I'm german)
"you just squat, piss and moan" is a triple too. hes saying lord jamar is a "squatter" in the house of hip hop while Em "belongs here" "squat, piss, and moan"- saying he squats when he pisses... like a female "you just squat. Piss and moan"- Lord Jamar is nothing. he is squat. now whine about it.
He also miss a bars right before the ghost line, Em said "time to separate the sheep from goats" It's also mean that people need to know which one is the "GOAT" (Greatest of all Time) and "sheep" That can be refers to a nowadays rapper that copy each other. Get it? "Sheep" Always follow his master (the most famous rapper like drake or migos)
I love your breakdowns!! You are quickly becoming one of my favorite Eminem reaction channels.. you are very witty and don’t let much get by you.. you understand the greatness of Marshall.. You, Doc Rich, Stevie Knight and ScriptWork are my favorite by far.. great job!!
Shoutout to you bro, you caught everything, you didn’t miss a single bar. Definitely my new favorite reaction channel. P.S. Em should hire you to be his translator.
This was a dope reaction and breakdown. Thank you! I would love to a breakdown of Walk on Water too, it's quite an emotional rollercoaster listening to that song
Knox, I've been a big fan lately. I just found your channel within the last 2 weeks or so, and honestly your breakdowns are amazing I would really like to hear your breakdown of any Aesop Rock track, dude is dense and very verbose, very difficult to hear once and point out what he's saying but I think you can pull some insights :] anyway good shit dude love the videos
Unfortunately the singer on this hook and em had a „fall“ing out cuz the singer didnt like that he used the f word on the song thats most likely why he wasn’t credited which sucks because i really like the chemistry of their vibes together.
I watched your reaction again because something you had said got me thinking about this video and the video for Venom. The Venom like shadow is "Shady". The albums prior to Kamikaze really felt like Eminem was attempting to step out from under the shadow of his past. So he had been running from it, but because of all the hate that his last album (Revival) had garnered, it revived that "Old Eminem" that was nothing but hate, rage and violence, murdering anything that crossed his path. (Warning, I am about to get philosophical and looking at the video as a story telling device. Sorry if this ends up a little wondering) In Fall, we see Eminem bust through the ground/wall five times. The first two are hard drops by Eminem, falling face first to the ground, but he bursts through into a new dimension. So, what does this mean? I believe it is a visual representation of Em's career. If you go back five studio albums (from Kamikaze) you end up at Encore. Well, Encore is literally the bonus performance after the show is over, it is basically to wind the crowd down, and to thank those that said to the very end. And if you look at it, Em was dropping an album a year-ish until Encore. Then nothing for 5 years. So, it feels like Em dropped Encore and was then going to step away or was pushed away from the studio because of that darkness inside of him, those things inside of us that if we give into them will destroy us and drive us to vices to numb them. (As we know in '07, Em ODed trying to run from that darkness). So, first drop Encore, good solid hit, but definitely not as successful as The Eminem Show, this is shown by Eminem tripping, but literally breaking through the earth to continue to "take it in stride". Things seem to be alright, but the Venom almost gets Em, ( this would be his ODing in '07) so he bolts and shortly thereafter, he trips and falls face down again, (Relapse). Again, still a solid album going double platinum, but definitely took some steam out of Eminem. Then we get into Em building himself back up again, he no longer needs to rock the universe with his hits, he just need to have some solid releases. So, even while still running for this past and his inner darkness, he can still break down the walls between where he is, and where he needs to be, and while strong, it wasn't anything superhuman (the first two walls Em runs through, Recovery/MMLP2). But Em looks over his shoulder and he sees that darkness is still coming for him, so he does what he can do, breaks down another wall to get away from it (Revival), that is when we see Em go tumbling to the floor. Em realizes that that took way too much out of him and he can't do that again, otherwise his darkness with catch back up to him and destroy him. Then we see EM deciding he needs to come up with another plan on how to deal with this darkness. Finally, Em decides that he needs to accept his past, accept his darkness, that it is a part of him, and with him accepting that it is part of him, it makes him stronger and it cannot be used against him any more. It is then that Em breaks through the glass (break glass in case of emergency), Em decides to drop again, so get can emerge and see (emergency) what he is going to become (the dropping of Kamikaze). And on his way out, he literally crushes Revival. Em literally carries this theme into Venom. Seriously, watch this video and then watch the video for Venom, and listen to what Em is talking about in Venom.
I don't know what Em thinks of Migos, but I don't think the Migos line in this song is a diss against Migos. He is just saying that other rappers are copying Migos' style. Now, maybe Em doesn't like that style, but you can't take that away from that line alone.
He didn't here, but the Not Alike hook was mocking one of their songs, so Offset sent a little sub on his "Father of 4" album, then Em sent a shot back on Homicide (the whole Rick Flare wrestling section is at just Offset) and Offset shut up, lol.
Hopsin went online and reacted to that shout out! He was thrilled!! You should see that video, it's hilarious! I love Hopsin so much! The next step is definitely a collab with him,he deserves it more than anyone in the game
I love how the main loop of this track creates an enormous feeling of suspense, because it can't really have a resolution to it. So it becomes clearer and clearer, that whatever happens at the end of the song is almost guaranteed to be a jarring break with everything that came before. And indeed, the song ends without a real resolution, just the wind-down after the fall.
Yo Knox, that line “sorry that I took forever” is a quadruple saying he took the song, and how long he took to respond, and how long he took when they performed it live, and how long his verse was
This is easily the greatest breakdown channel on the tube. Also, I don’t know if you’ve seen hoping reaction to Em dropping his name on this track, but Hopsin got super hyped about it.
@@elfzedd Not sure I would call Bigbang the Kings of Kpop, especially with Got7, Stray Kids and a couple other of JYP's groups really getting hot. But yes, I would love to see a react to Bang Bang Bang by Big Bang
your little intro "whoever subscribes to this right now".... is hilarious. :P subbed a few days ago just to see what I can find about all your intros. and.. you definitely have my attention. keep it up!
Can you pls pls react to vegas and all i think about by eminem and royce? PLS!! I would love to see you handle those ones. I promise you that you will need lyrics
Genuinely love your bar breakdowns. Best in the business for sure. You’re a smart man too. I’ve learnt a lot about hip hop just from watching your videos. Keep up the great work mate 👌👌
True story this guy really catches all the bars which others don't catch and without the lyrics vids,big up my guy keep doing what you doing my brother
I just love the double meaning of the verse, sorry if I took forever, because when he talks about how Drake invited him to the stage to sing forever, Em took more time performingand stole the show. And the second meaning being very literal that Em took the song forever as his own because a great majority of fans only listen for his verse.
I've listened to this song so many times and listening to your breakdown I only just caught another line I missed every other time! The way he pronounces 'carryin' an Oxford dictionary' sounds like 'carrion' ... which harks back to the bird imagery and also the parasite refs earlier in the verse; carrion birds famously only feed on dead things, they're scavengers like vultures, they don't kill things themselves. In contrast to Em, who 'wrote every single word of everything I ever murdered.' Genius, man. Absolutely genius!! AND, holy shit, just listened another time; he pronounces 'car coz I'm just barely gettin started' as 'carcass' ... as in the things carrion eaters feed on. Wowowoowowoww
25:16 There is a video where Hopsin mentions this in youtube video called "Hopsin Reacts To Eminem Mentioning Him On Kamikaze Album " I love that video
I may be 3 months behind but I believe this is the angry side of em. He puts so much raw emotion and hatred towards all the people that are criticizing him and his music. I love this song
Great job in breaking down Eminem's rap. It's been a while since I've listened to Eminem but you've peaked my interest to start listening to his recent works again. Thank you!

Bad guy is just next level.

The way he fell out the window at the end reminded me of "The Way I Am", kinda telling everyone "ye tha's me, deal with it, we been there"
Didn't he do that song Forever with all 3 of these guys Man DATS TUFF
When or where did eminem ever diss Wayne or drake. You'll the type the last year found out about em and talking shit. If you really now em you'll know how he feels about both Wayne and drake
yes sorry if i took it! his words not mine!

He did and people accused him of dissing them on that two its all bullshit

This is why: the gist of the video is that, after Marshall been trying to avoid being Slim Shady, the more malicious, dark, monstrous version of Em all these years, Shady’s (that part of him) finally been reawakened, and throughout the majority of the video, Em’s like, “Oh, no, I don’t want that part of me to exist in me anymore because I almost lost myself as Shady was taking over me.” But in the end, he’s like, “Screw it, if people want Shady back so bad, they’re gonna get him.” That’s why at the end of the first verse of this song, Em says, “You want Shady! You got him!” So, at the end of the video, he finally bonds with him.
20:20 “Every parasite needs a host” 😳
I know the timeline is completely off. And its impossible and a total reach, BUT it just popped into my head this moment, that the director of the movie “Parasite,” the Korean movie that won 4 Oscars last year, made a name for himself bursting into the movie scene at the Canne film festivals with his film “The Host.” 😳 Parasite. The Host. Award shows...🤔🤔🤔😱
“Every *PARASITE* NEEDS a *HOST”* as in...the director needed the movie “the Host” to blow up first, to make the classic “Parasite” that killed EVERY film festival and Award Show, including the Oscars, years later?!? 😱😱😱😱😱😱
Eminem is now literally writing quadruple entendre bars about things before they even happen.
He literally IS the *RAPGOD* foreseeing the future hidden in his bars and shit!!!! 😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯
W T F. Nostradamus Bars up in this bitch.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kamikaze dropped 2018.
The Parasite killed the Oscars in 2019.
Eminem on his Nostradamus shit now.
Btw, Nostradamus wrote his predictions in poems too.
Venom is also a parasite

“PARASITE?!” - Venom 2018
parasite the oscars they need a host?
the parasites are the rappers and the oscars are leech off of them like a parasite does?
plus the woke stuff could be in 2024 parasite needs a host an even DEEPER FUCKING LINE WTF?????????
shouldn"t eminem "Venom" be next since it starts where "fall" ended
yeah right. i hope so
venom is a disappointing song, please not that.
Funny thing tho, i never knew what made me so obsessed beyond normal with Eminem until i heard venom. I literally have tried to stop now for so long 😞
@@nejsnek1410 it was a promotional song. It was not meant to be a heavy punchline and double and triple.
@@samsaumaralikhan that's why I wish Eminem didn't put it in his kamikaze tracklist. If Nice guy and venom weren't in the tracklist then kamikaze would probably be a 9/10.
Knox is the only youtuber that is acceptable for him to stop every second because Knox really digs up the song.Knox ur music is awesome love it and keep up the great work my man.
Ems intelligence is insane. Those triple and double meanings are so sick, and you caught every one. Takes one to know one, much love. So happy you broke down every single hidden meaning for those that didn’t catch it. You gained a new follower here! Your bars are sick as well!!
One of my favorites from Kamikaze. It’s crazy, I already love Eminem but the way you breakdown his music makes me love and appreciate him even more.
I really love your channel. Speaking of Hopsin if you haven’t heard his recent song “Kumbaya” I would love a reaction to that. The beat is 🔥🔥🔥
You gotta react to eminem - greatest
Verse 3 is one of the best schemes I've heard from him
I am from Europe, but I am willing to fly tommorow morning to wherever he is, sit there and just listen for hours to whatever he has on mind. Mad respect.
I believe kill shot came out on Patrick Swayze anniversary of his death.
and 2pac i think
If I remember correctly I believe he was playing a pac-man arcade game on Tupac anniversary days before in remembrance. Then he dropped kill shot on Patrick Swayze anniversary death. If I’m wrong I stand corrected. Hope that helps
The 'if you wanna critique me, you at least be as good or better' line changed my and many other's views on haters from all kinds of spheres in life.
Interesting
you gotta react to eminem right for me, i know you’ll love it such an underrated song! also chaos theory was so good man i’ve had it on repeat! also i’m early, sweet excited for this reaction!
Loved this song by Eminem. Lyrically brilliance, and packed with great wordplay and punch lines. As always knox hill, fantastic reaction.
eminem is the goat, no debate. its crazy also when you think about like white rappers in general, every white rapper gonna live in hes shadow like literally FOR EVER its crazy when you think about it, theres never gonna be better white rapper than eminem
I dunno nf kinda paving his own way now.
@@thejackrabbit877 nah
Not just white, all races, nationalities and ages
@@munin1307 He did not mean NF will be better than Eminem This isn't no who's better BS everyone is better in their own way
Knox I believe u are the king at breakdowns keep it up brother can't wait till the next one . Hopefully some upchurch brother and yes ur music is dope
“Better check your car cause I’m barely even started” but if you hear the double he is saying carcass because if you are scared he hasn’t even begun to lay into you with his bars. Genius.
better check your car=car has an engine and he says i'm barely even started when you start your car you got 2 turn your engine on also engine can be your head as in thoughts better check your brain/head because i'm barely even started going at you...
Justin Vernon was opposed to his voice being on "Fall" because he didn't know that this song was going to be very in your face with those lyrics.
So this is sampled?
@@emyf9197 Tbh Idk
@@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan I believe he backtracked on that
Justin: hops on a EMINEM song
Eminem: says "offensive" stuff
Justin: 😯😯😯
@@emyf9197 no Vernon did the track than when he heard em call Tyler a fag it was too late and it was out but Vernon didn’t like that
the line towards the end: brought the world 50 cent, hits hard because people wouldnt know 50 cent without eminem and dr. dre
Fall was one of my favorite songs off of kamikaze. Definitely should do more kamikaze reactions
So Glad you actually reacted to this. Fall is easily one my favorite Em tracks mainly because of that smooth, godly flow.
Barely dropped 2 minutes an I already this this gone be a 🔥🔥 reaction! Great breakdowns always my guy 🙏💯
Man your album got me through a rough day at work man love what you do man. Thank you
Damn man that’s what’s up. Exactly why I make this music 🙏
I'm here for it
Thank you for this breakdown.
Is there any chance we gonna get that medicine man reaction?
Best reactor on youtube in my opinion I've ever seen hands down you deserve more followers man. You earned it homie
Em is totally a genius. An you break him down perfectly. My daughter and myself ride around when he has a new album released until we break them down. Took us all the way from Michigan to Florida for this album. Fun times fosho!!
Wow! That is amazing. I love that for you and your daughter. Idk her age, but regardless she will remember that tradition forever. I wish my mom loved Em as much as me! That’s dope. ❤️ for some reason this made my heart really warm, I wish you guys the best ☺️
@@lexiebabie Awe honey thank you. She was 33 at the time. Her and I are very close. I raised her on all types of music and arts. It's how we share the old and new. I wish we did know you. We would pick you up in our travels to join the crazy train ( my mom calls it!) LOL. Thanks honey you made us happy to hear not everyone thinks we're crazy!!
Your reactions are my absolute favorite and i will keep watching them, you're an inspiration man. Keep putting out great videos for all your fans to enjoy!
Nice to hear a musically fluent reactor’s thoughts, you break things down in a digestible and informed way, great content!! ✌️
I used to watch a lot of reaction channels to get a full perspective but you break down eminem better than anyone I'm definitely subscribing for life
You know it’s gonna be a good reaction when he’s got a long video, and the camera is about to die.
Ive been listening to fall for 5 years and an em fan for 15 years and u showed me so much more in this song than ive ever seen before
Great review bruh. I missed alot of these lyrical double and triple layers you have now explained. Thank you, keep up the good work and keep them vids coming.
Ok so I just started watching your channel but thank you for breaking this down. I understand some of what he says but some just go over my head. You explaining all the meanings really makes me appreciate his music even more. Love your channel.
Yay, em appreciator
This is my first time seeing your video and you know your facts mate! You explained everything perfectly! I'm seeing Eminem in a whole new light after this video. And you too, best reaction ever! Keep doing what you're doing
It’s the millionth time for me to listen to the track and I just caught it, in the opening lines when he says “Gotta concentrate against the clock I race” ‘concentrate’ can also be a homophone for ‘constant rate’ which ties perfectly with “I got a marathoner’s pace” where he’s pacing himself with a constant speed against the time!
Amazing how you can still find stuff fresh in his lyrics years later!
I hope you do Greatest, Venom, and Not Alike on the Kamikaze album, because those are really good too~
It's crazy that Em's had 14 #1 albums (SSLP was #2) and 15 that went Platinum when you include both D12 albums, 8 Mile OST, and Bad Meets Evil, in the last 21 years! Definitely a marathoners pace!
Shit bro, dropped everything i was doing as soon as i got the notification. 😂 You better give me that free wrap.. or rap?
Bruh! I started listening to no life shaq when he only had 60k subs, and he is tip notch AF, but I am glad I found you. I got mad respect the way you break it down. Most people can't hear music and the way it was intended to hear. You hear the real bars the talent 👏 eminem had put forward 🙌 most people see the obvious, but not all the triples and how he brings it back. I really can't explain it all but mad respect bruh. I have been waiting to see someone break it down the way you do. Being a top notch MC is something that was lost. I have been listening to your music and it's pretty dope my brotha. Really raps will always be recognized by the real 💯 👌 you keep doing you, and I pray life brings you what you want. I am completely shocked that you catch every punch line. MAN definitely impressed bruh🤜🤛 I am just a white boy from the bay area that loves lyrical music, God bless the real
Em also said in a Interview he wasn't espacially dissing Drake, Em is cool with him. He says that in the Kamikaze Interview with Sway.(Sorry for my bad english I'm german)
Not bad English at all. Better than most English people! 👍🏼
YES!!!! I REQUESTED THAT YOU REACTED TO FALL AND YOU FINALLY DID.
IM SO EXITED.
"you just squat, piss and moan" is a triple too.
hes saying lord jamar is a "squatter" in the house of hip hop while Em "belongs here"
"squat, piss, and moan"- saying he squats when he pisses... like a female
"you just squat. Piss and moan"- Lord Jamar is nothing. he is squat. now whine about it.
OH SHIT!!!
(no double bar intended there)
Nice catch man.
I caught that too.. glad I wasn’t the only one to catch that good shit 👌
He also miss a bars right before the ghost line, Em said "time to separate the sheep from goats" It's also mean that people need to know which one is the "GOAT" (Greatest of all Time) and "sheep" That can be refers to a nowadays rapper that copy each other. Get it? "Sheep" Always follow his master (the most famous rapper like drake or migos)
@@axkanaufal6952 thts an easy bar I think everyone caught tht.. knox prolly did but just didn't "react" to it bcuz its pretty much on the face
I love your breakdowns!! You are quickly becoming one of my favorite Eminem reaction channels.. you are very witty and don’t let much get by you.. you understand the greatness of Marshall.. You, Doc Rich, Stevie Knight and ScriptWork are my favorite by far.. great job!!
Double feature Dax-Joker and Joker returns, everyone is reacting to it but no one breaks it down like Knox
And Gotham!
FUCK YEAH MY BROTHER IN LAW JUST SHOWED ME THAT
Shoutout to you bro, you caught everything, you didn’t miss a single bar. Definitely my new favorite reaction channel.
P.S. Em should hire you to be his translator.
Eminem - survival
Lil wayne ft Eminem - drop the world
Eminem -no love
I’ve been super busy the last few days and didn’t really have time left for TH-cam. Coming back to see this posted was awesome! Really enjoyed it.
This was a dope reaction and breakdown. Thank you! I would love to a breakdown of Walk on Water too, it's quite an emotional rollercoaster listening to that song
I appreciate the way this man appreciates the hip hop game
The girl leaked from eminems music video was from "river" ft Ed Sheeran not "walk on water"
You might have one of the best reaction channel out right now, Super intelligent with bars breakdown. Impressive thank you for the channel.
Your support goes a long way, much love
Knox, I've been a big fan lately. I just found your channel within the last 2 weeks or so, and honestly your breakdowns are amazing I would really like to hear your breakdown of any Aesop Rock track, dude is dense and very verbose, very difficult to hear once and point out what he's saying but I think you can pull some insights :] anyway good shit dude love the videos
Knox man I appreciate you and these breakdowns. Love the music also bro.
Unfortunately the singer on this hook and em had a „fall“ing out cuz the singer didnt like that he used the f word on the song thats most likely why he wasn’t credited which sucks because i really like the chemistry of their vibes together.
Yea it’s a good song. I guessed there was an issue but didn’t know what - thanks for letting me know 🙌
Damn, people are so sensitive these days 😪
Sounds like NF lol
I watched your reaction again because something you had said got me thinking about this video and the video for Venom.
The Venom like shadow is "Shady". The albums prior to Kamikaze really felt like Eminem was attempting to step out from under the shadow of his past. So he had been running from it, but because of all the hate that his last album (Revival) had garnered, it revived that "Old Eminem" that was nothing but hate, rage and violence, murdering anything that crossed his path.
(Warning, I am about to get philosophical and looking at the video as a story telling device. Sorry if this ends up a little wondering)
In Fall, we see Eminem bust through the ground/wall five times. The first two are hard drops by Eminem, falling face first to the ground, but he bursts through into a new dimension. So, what does this mean? I believe it is a visual representation of Em's career. If you go back five studio albums (from Kamikaze) you end up at Encore.
Well, Encore is literally the bonus performance after the show is over, it is basically to wind the crowd down, and to thank those that said to the very end. And if you look at it, Em was dropping an album a year-ish until Encore. Then nothing for 5 years. So, it feels like Em dropped Encore and was then going to step away or was pushed away from the studio because of that darkness inside of him, those things inside of us that if we give into them will destroy us and drive us to vices to numb them. (As we know in '07, Em ODed trying to run from that darkness).
So, first drop Encore, good solid hit, but definitely not as successful as The Eminem Show, this is shown by Eminem tripping, but literally breaking through the earth to continue to "take it in stride". Things seem to be alright, but the Venom almost gets Em, ( this would be his ODing in '07) so he bolts and shortly thereafter, he trips and falls face down again, (Relapse). Again, still a solid album going double platinum, but definitely took some steam out of Eminem. Then we get into Em building himself back up again, he no longer needs to rock the universe with his hits, he just need to have some solid releases. So, even while still running for this past and his inner darkness, he can still break down the walls between where he is, and where he needs to be, and while strong, it wasn't anything superhuman (the first two walls Em runs through, Recovery/MMLP2).
But Em looks over his shoulder and he sees that darkness is still coming for him, so he does what he can do, breaks down another wall to get away from it (Revival), that is when we see Em go tumbling to the floor. Em realizes that that took way too much out of him and he can't do that again, otherwise his darkness with catch back up to him and destroy him. Then we see EM deciding he needs to come up with another plan on how to deal with this darkness.
Finally, Em decides that he needs to accept his past, accept his darkness, that it is a part of him, and with him accepting that it is part of him, it makes him stronger and it cannot be used against him any more. It is then that Em breaks through the glass (break glass in case of emergency), Em decides to drop again, so get can emerge and see (emergency) what he is going to become (the dropping of Kamikaze). And on his way out, he literally crushes Revival.
Em literally carries this theme into Venom. Seriously, watch this video and then watch the video for Venom, and listen to what Em is talking about in Venom.
I’m gonna be honest I can’t tell if he dissed migos
I don't know what Em thinks of Migos, but I don't think the Migos line in this song is a diss against Migos. He is just saying that other rappers are copying Migos' style. Now, maybe Em doesn't like that style, but you can't take that away from that line alone.
@@MiddleAgedBob they're garbage. - every real hip hop fan ever.
@@RojoCube Maybe. I'm an old head, I don't listen to Migos. I just didn't view that line as a diss against them.
He didn't here, but the Not Alike hook was mocking one of their songs, so Offset sent a little sub on his "Father of 4" album, then Em sent a shot back on Homicide (the whole Rick Flare wrestling section is at just Offset) and Offset shut up, lol.
@@RojoCube ¿?
Hopsin went online and reacted to that shout out! He was thrilled!! You should see that video, it's hilarious! I love Hopsin so much! The next step is definitely a collab with him,he deserves it more than anyone in the game
Well, I'm here for the algorithm. I hope you enjoyed the song
I love how the main loop of this track creates an enormous feeling of suspense, because it can't really have a resolution to it. So it becomes clearer and clearer, that whatever happens at the end of the song is almost guaranteed to be a jarring break with everything that came before. And indeed, the song ends without a real resolution, just the wind-down after the fall.
Yo Knox, that line “sorry that I took forever” is a quadruple saying he took the song, and how long he took to respond, and how long he took when they performed it live, and how long his verse was
Fall is the perfect song for you to break down. Absolute bars on bars on bars. This is awesome, man, keep it up!
this guy exposes Em being even greater at lyrics than he was back in his prime days💀🔥
This is easily the greatest breakdown channel on the tube. Also, I don’t know if you’ve seen hoping reaction to Em dropping his name on this track, but Hopsin got super hyped about it.

Can you pls pls react to vegas and all i think about by eminem and royce? PLS!! I would love to see you handle those ones. I promise you that you will need lyrics
@Chris Adams right! He need to react to that one.
I follow Stevie Knight and other big YT music reactors, but Knox really the smartest reactor. He catches everything!!
Genuinely love your bar breakdowns. Best in the business for sure. You’re a smart man too. I’ve learnt a lot about hip hop just from watching your videos. Keep up the great work mate 👌👌
True story this guy really catches all the bars which others don't catch and without the lyrics vids,big up my guy keep doing what you doing my brother
I just love the double meaning of the verse, sorry if I took forever, because when he talks about how Drake invited him to the stage to sing forever, Em took more time performingand stole the show. And the second meaning being very literal that Em took the song forever as his own because a great majority of fans only listen for his verse.
I've listened to this song so many times and listening to your breakdown I only just caught another line I missed every other time! The way he pronounces 'carryin' an Oxford dictionary' sounds like 'carrion' ... which harks back to the bird imagery and also the parasite refs earlier in the verse; carrion birds famously only feed on dead things, they're scavengers like vultures, they don't kill things themselves. In contrast to Em, who 'wrote every single word of everything I ever murdered.' Genius, man. Absolutely genius!!
AND, holy shit, just listened another time; he pronounces 'car coz I'm just barely gettin started' as 'carcass' ... as in the things carrion eaters feed on. Wowowoowowoww
"GREATEST" BY EMINEM
Absolutely love your reaction videos. Especially Eminems. You're insanely talented.
25:16 There is a video where Hopsin mentions this in youtube video called "Hopsin Reacts To Eminem Mentioning Him On Kamikaze Album
"
I love that video
I saw this video a 1000 times by a 1000 reactors . And by far your the best that breaks Down his bars. Keep up the good work.
I may be 3 months behind but I believe this is the angry side of em. He puts so much raw emotion and hatred towards all the people that are criticizing him and his music. I love this song
Holy fuck,this is actually true. Jack The Ripper made his first killing at 31 of August, kamikaze was dropped the same day. Genius.
Great job in breaking down Eminem's rap. It's been a while since I've listened to Eminem but you've peaked my interest to start listening to his recent works again. Thank you!
I have heard this song so many times... and I am just now understanding how many double meanings there are in this song! Thanks Knox
"Subscribe for free things you'll never receive" had me dead 🤣
only reactor that knew who Gabby Gifford is , keep doing your thing Bro. Great reaction!
You should go over the song "Leaving Heaven" by Eminem on the album Music to be Murdered by.
He did. Check the Eminem playlist he has.
