The Dark Truth Behind The Knuckles Rapper

- Remember the Sonic Adventure 2 Knuckles Stages and their strangely catchy rap songs? Who made those? What is he up to now? Well let's look into the guy behind the Knuckles Raps and see what he's been up to.
Edited By - / okamiusagi

So basically he's a one hit wonder and is bitter about it.
If someone’s pfp is of Kermit that instantly makes what they say better
@@masterofpasta95 Now I hear it in his voice.
Thanks for summing it up because I couldn't listen after the first 5 seconds.
Yeah pretty much in a nutshell lol!
He is not a hit. The Knuckles and Rouge levels are the source of Sonic Adventure 2's polarizing opinions. Knuckles rapping about joining gangs was also polarizing.
0:19 "Even when the games are shit" *shows video of Sonic Heroes* 🤔
good choice of footage, sonic heroes is a shit game
It's a shit game, but I have a lot of nostalgia for it.
@@hoonterofhoonters6588 it's not
It's actually so strange seeing cybershell again after he had disappeared for so long.
@@edgelord8337 it's like seeing a person you used to play with on Xbox Live finally come back online after years of being inactive
Can't believe Hunnid P tried to take credit for all of Knuckles' amazing rap skills smh
I guess that's the Sonic version of the "Hatsune Miku created Minecraft" meme.
Yeah bro. I hate hunnid p. My man knuckles got screwed over.😡
Knuckles made all of his songs he deserves better shame on hunnid POOP
Squish this prolly the best comment I've ever seen
Hunnid p? More like Hunnid PEE
"I sense it in my feet"
Echidnas sense electricity, Knuckles' emerald radar is a genuine scientific fact.
Feels like he nitpicked just to try say the song is bad because of a lyric.
"I ain't gonna let it get to me, I'm just gonna creep"
Looks like he did both.
The laughing fit this caused omg.
@@Dustkim me too especially after just listening to pumpkin hill like 10 times in a row lol
Me not seeing the video: wa-wa-wa-waii hold up
@@MustacheDLuffy i thought he raped someone to lol
Asking for sex isn’t being a creep unless they’re a minor
I too, even liked the one where he turned into a werewolf
same
I also liked the one where he turned into a werewolf
I do as well
I liked the one where he turned into a werewolf but I didn't like the part where he turned into a werewolf
I kid you not Sonic turned himself into a werehog, funniest shit I've ever seen
If I recall, Knuckles was originally intended to be Jamaican when Sega first came up with his concept. Now, if they had stuck with that idea, could you imagine reggae songs for Knuckles' stages in SA2?
His color scheme and design was inspired by Jamaican culture.
@@CyberusSuper lol as a Jamaican that makes me happy, unironically hard as fuck!!
while reading your comment I literally imagined the low health version of the stage theme of Dee Jay from Street fighter (The SF2 version of the theme specifically) playing while fighting Knuckles in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Also, that`s cool, I thought he was based on African tribal culture.
That'd be cool too but those songs probably wouldn't be as good as pumpkin hill which is probably one of the best tracks in video gaming history imo
Ngl, I’m glad I’m not the only one who wanted to hear Knuckles have a Jamaican accent (in fact, I think Jordan Bolger, the same guy that played Mr. Nimrod in “The Long Song”, would likely be a great voice for Knuckles like Idris Elba, Brian Drummond (via Sonic Underground), Michael McGaharn (Sonic Adventure 1. “Oh no!”), Travis Willingham (at least in Sonic Boom) and Nobutoshi Kanna (his Japanese actor of the 21st Century).
I never knew that the rap songs from the knuckles stages were considered meme worthy. I always thought they're amazing, and the fact that the lyrics talk about the levels and the knuckles character is unironically really cool.
I liked em
He is a good rapper he sounds like az
Agreed
I think people forget that Pumpkin Hill has become a meme BECAUSE IT IS SO BELOVED.
Never met a person who enjoyed SA2 and didnt unironically enjoy pretty much all the music
I would legit play the game and just listen to knuckles songs only.
They are GOATed
I feel like it's still fine to enjoy his music, especially since he doesn't get any royalties lmao
Ouch!! Mega lmao
Why he have to disrespect Emu
@@mouseee7244 Exactly, he went too far doing That!!!
I Still Like Him, I'm Just dissapointed knowing who he really is!!!
@@ZackMaster98 Err... you like 'him', or you like his work? There's a big difference there, because HE is an actual piece of shit. Trying to extort sex out of someone is pretty unforgivable in my books.
Funniest thing about this video is that the one thing I took from this was that John Carpenter likes Sonic.
even the one where he turns into a werewolf
John Carpenter composes the music for his own films too so he’s got a lot of credibility there in my eyes
@@friendlymariofan7483 you never know
Incidentally, the hiphop vocalist who did Knuckles' SA1 song was Dred Foxx, who was also the voice of Parappa the Rapper, and he had his own incident of drama and extortion, though not to the extent of Hunnid-P's. It spawned my absolute favorite neogaf thread of all time, "Parappa the Rapper told me to drop dead," in which the OP talks about how he extorted him and a friend out of money, and proceeded to try to take them to court.
They made the rap songs in Knuckles’ stages sound so good I swear. Especially Pumpkin Hill.
tomoya ohtani is built different
I definitely don't think Hunnid-Pacent will be chuckling after he sees this video.
This video is jokes but you definitely making a mockery of hunnid pee entire life 😂😂
He'd rather flex his muscles.

“Knuckles says the N Word”was a pretty controversial music piece,though.
Don't worry, Knuckles has the N word pass that's why he's allowed to say:
"Nuckles."
@@KaiserMattTygore927 He says Knuckles with a hard *R*
@@Kurostyle21 *le gasp*
what are you talking about
this bro's clearly black
Knuckles is clearly black I say this as a black man
Ryan can still do the voice, he was just put on the spot. He sounds great in the Emi Jones project.
Yet... different.
He’s getting better.
Oh, this comment hits different, now
Game vocals will be run through editing software and will have hundreds of takes. This guy was asked to do something on the spot with no vocal prep and no editing. Can't blame the guy.
@@cerberusmutt4252NUTTING IN HER AT THE SPEED OF SOUND
He could’ve been a good independent rapper making Jazzy/Lo-fi type song with a fan base built around Sonic fans and Hip Hop fans discovering him over time. Too bad he messed it up…
He's taking the whole 'just gonna creep' that seriously, huh.
His ego let it get to him. At least he proved he's not chicken, I guess.
But he sure as Hell ain't tougher than leather.
@@Sharpteeth32and he sadly, wasn’t an independent flower
There's nothing wrong with having rap and hip hop in sonic lol, the series always had a variety of musical genres
@@friendlymariofan7483 Stfu
hes your typical right wing nerd, little do they know the same people who created HIP HOP ALSO CREATED ROCK
@@catchwreck928 that’s why rap is the best genre to ever exist
@Mason Kidd it’s strider hiryu a better swordsman
@@LilXancheX it started off good but has slowly degraded over time
The Knuckles levels were awesome. They had atmosphere. And the music made them memorable.
"hey rouge, she sexy and smooth" I new there was something going on between them
damn

Damm
Where's that damn fourth chaos emerald
damn.. not here
I guess the only people chuckling after this is sega
I was just listening to pumpkin hill.
Sorta disappointing to know the guy behind it is kinda jerk.
"kinda" is an understatement
yea it makes me feel very sad
I looked up to this guy
😔
just listen to the instrumentals of it, problem solved he didn't make the music.
Oh my God i keep seeing you everywhere
It is but I like to always seperate the art and the artist. I will still listen to it tho
Ryan’s performance in sonic and tails R recently has improved drastically, I don’t think he could perfectly recreate his old voice but the performance he’s given now is p awesome. Course as a die hard adventure fan I’m definitely biased
that's actually pretty embarrassing to be acting up like that more than a decade later. lmao
the songs still slap, but like definitely because the track behind the lyrics is what carries it. meteor herd is my fave
Ryan Drummond can still do Sonic's voice though, he does it well in Sonic & Tails R, which you brought up...
It only sounds off in that interview because he had to do it off the cuff, with games and stuff they have time to warm up, redo takes, etc.
I don't have a preference for Sonic's voice though, I like all of them.
I actually liked the way he did it in the interview. It was alright. He just has that younger Sonic feeling to his voice.
He still sounds sorta off in S&T R. Better than that interview yeah, but still.
Yeah he definitely sounded off in S&T R. He hasn't completely lost it but something certainly ain't there anymore.
No he doesn't he sound tired and old.Like "CoOl" when tails found the fucking choas emerald.
@Kureiton ive always preferred roger but ehh to each of their own. i still like all of them
Don't meet your heroes. They're gonna let you down.
But rick astley isn't
i do agree but if anybody’s hero was hunnid-p then you deserve to be disappointed
Dredd Foxx
-Parappa
@@deanmoriarty6015 how so if they didn't know about all of this and genuinely just thought he was a solid guy who made rap music for you favourite game as a kid why do we deserve to be disappointed I looked up to him before I knew all of this because I enjoyed his music and growing up where I did at the time felt like him working with Sega meant I didn't have to throw my life away in the streets I can be apart of my favorite things and creat things along side the people that made me love said thing
Kinda fucked up thing to say man jeez
But I was stuck on the Ferris wheel. I had to be let down.
Ryan does really good in S&T R. The interview is a little unfair I reckon. He obviously has lost something, but it's still there and god it was great to listen to
4:26 is where he actually starts to talk about the rapper. You're welcome.
Thanks, i watched for 2 and a half minutes and was like enough essay introduction bullshit
@@thisisnotok2100 yeah it’s the ol TH-cam into epidemic haha
I noticed that as well he takes forever to get to the actual point of the video. Very poorly constructed.
🤣
Shadow's music isn't grunge. It's like, industrial.
Nah it's grunge lol
@@ahsoka_polo bruh are you actually gonna sit here and tell me Radical Highway or White Jungle sound like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains?
@@MLJ-zp3ju bra the songs that play when ever shadow appears gives me grunge vibes
in SA2 they're kinda industrial, electro-rock stuff, in Shadow the Hedgehog they're flat out nu-metal/butt-rock lol
@@oterrabsiul The tracks in SA2 sound closer to NiN and Rob Zombie than Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains. Also some artist that have performed Shadow related music such as Julian-K and Powerman 5000 are know as industrial bands. There are a few tracks that are exceptions though.
He said “I ain’t gonna let it get to me I’m just gonna creep”
He sure did both of those things.
Underrated comment
Stolen comment.
Probably the only person whose made this connection. But between this guy & Ken Penders it's insane that two people who've worked on Knuckles related content for Sonic ended up being complete loons.
Bros accent is throwing me off throughout the whole video😭 Its like a irish/australian/baltimore accent turning on and off
right?! it's like his intonation is based on RNG and it gets on my nerves
Dude he wrote all that and recorded it in ONE DAY?! That’s awesome.
Yeah pretty incredible
Yea he did great for one day
That's according to him. But hes a liar so I don't believe that. Also I think he got help from the guy that set him up for the job in the first place.
The dude who made the aqua teen hunger force intro wrote the song on his way to the studio
@@VilaToro64 yeah but that’s schooly d and he is a old school legend. Same with most of the people on athf. That is cool though I didn’t know that!
Hey look it’s LS Mark’s friend
No that's his mom dummy.
That's actually his '''''''''''''''friend''''''''''''''''''
No that’s his evil twin brother from outer space
Lol
*lover
using arin at 2:43 was too perfect
Pretty interesting all what you said on the video, I'm sad for Hunnid by not being Accredited correctly, or Sega actually don't want him anymore. Hope he Improve as a person.
Wow, the way he treated Emi was fuxking gross.
Dredd Foxx vibes
He's a typical gangsta rapper, that's all I gonna say.
I too think it was fuxking gross.
Yeah. It’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen. He got what was coming to him.
@@dinohermann1887 I can’t help but read your comment in a baby voice even though I understand it’s “supposed” to be read in an “urban dialect” typically expressed by melanin rich individuals.
My dad would always pass me while I was playing these stages and I guess because of the first few opening words on Pumpkin Hill, for some reason my dad thought the rapper’s name was Frankie Knuckles
Lmao
rip to frankie knuckles though
Nice Ohtani jumpscares.
Also tbf Ryan has genuinely gotten better at doing the voice in later episodes of the radio drama.
Late but yeah and Ryan was kind put on the spot so I'm starting to think Ryan was simply out of practice
I'll be honest, his 'Sonic Adventure 2' "Aquatic Mines" OST man... that song was fire, no cap, I think it was pretty good.. other than that, it's OK to enjoy his music, given he's apparently no longer getting Royalties for it, or so I'm told
🎵 I ain't gonna let it get to me
I'm just gonna cry about SEGA supposedly not paying me for my vocal work
Down in Pumpkin Hill I gots' to find my lost piece 🎵
XD
The flow needs some work
@@SonicXtreme99akaCreeperMario Maybe I'll take a few pointers from Hunnid-Pacent then. He seems to know what's good.
I know that it's here I sense it in my feet because the great clout chasing allows me to feel.
"Give you the colder shoulder"
Sega most definitely did that.
And their spikes went through boulders.
That’s why they stayed loners
They were born by themselves
They don’t need a posse.
They got it on by themselves
Great video but let's not start saying his lyrics were bad. You can dislike a person but don't start saying things just to say them. That goes for anything in life.
Man Foreal kind of sound like he was hating
9:37 Jesus. That sounds like a congested middle aged clown. 😖
The dark truth is that he does, in fact, chuckle.
Just realized "Hunnid-P" means "100 percent"
I don't think the community will be chuckling after these allegations.
Hunnid P, Ken Penders, Sonic Boom... why does Knuckles keeps getting screwed over???
I loved how Drummond sounded in Sonic and Tails R. I don't think using that interview is fair considering he clearly did a much better performance within that audio drama
He could have been rusty in that interview since he probably didn't do the voice for a while.
Honestly I don't see what people's problem is with Drummond's current Sonic. The interview clip sounded god awful yeah but in R he sounds almost exactly as how he does in Heroes, which is arguably his best official performance as Sonic.
Ur pfp
@@KuromiScarlet5030 my pfp
And look at him in the final episodes of Sonic and Tails R, he did splendid.
That clip of Ryan Drummond's newest Sonic impression is sobering, and heartbreaking.
What's that from?
I do agree Ryan's Sonic voice has aged somewhat poorly. He still has it, Ryan just has to bring it out. In Sonic and Tails R, Ryan makes Sonic sound more "suave(?)" It could also be Emi's voice direction and script that's making Ryan sound off, but even so you can hear Ryan sounding like his own self at times in Emi's scripts. Even with Ryan's current Sonic voice and acting, he's still way better than Roger, LMFAO!
He sounds even worse in the actual episodes of Sonic and Tails R
@@NeoShot I dunno I kinda like roger. I think he is a worthy replacement. Griffiths though felt a little stale in terms of vocal tone.
@@NeoShot nah Roger is fine. His voice doesn't make me want to take cheese graters to my ears
"Ryan legit cannot do the voice any more" Somewhere, a tiny part of me died realizing it was true. Absolutely no hate against Roger, but Ryan voiced my childhood. Nobody can replace that.
15:44 my man watch the whole scott the woz video
Sonic games actually have a history of being crunched out right before the deadline. This usually results in shit like 06, but Sonic 2, 3 and other classics were also the result of overworked employees burning the midnight oil. So in a sense, HP’s lyrics fit well within the Sonic developmental lore because they were rushed into a cringe-sandwich.
I personally believe that the art can be separated from the artists, and think it would be a shame if we refused to build upon what he contributed to the franchise just because of his own personal mistakes.
I thought this would be about Dred Foxx who scammed a fan out of his money and also sang a knuckles rap
Same
@@itssprinkles752 Yeah, it would've been a funny ending, the Dredd Foxx story is remarkably similar
Was thinking that now we know that both of these guys are scumbags 😂
Isn't that Parappa!?
@@CosmicSponge2004 Yeah. He did the rapping for Knuckles theme is SA1
Was that really neccesary to add a bass boost noise when mentioning Tomoya Ohtani?
He doesn’t remember how to voice Sonic anymore, but he’s been practicing in bed with Emi Jones.
“Who’s your favorite sonic composer”
“Oh yeah the guy who did sonic unleashed you know ([{DUBSTEP FART}])”
I love Rooftop Run, Egg Dragoon, and some of the ambient night sections.
It's a shame the most prominent theme is Werehog battle theme.
But if you mostly only touch Day levels when coming back to Unleashed you'll be all right there.
It's like "I'm Sorry" doesn't exist in some people's vocabulary.
Especially the heavily melaninated kind of people
@@slowpokerodriguez8342 especially in the non-melaninated type of people, like you ❤️

@@peenywallie That’s not true for everyone. I be saying sorry all the time, even when it doesn’t need to be said.
@@slowpokerodriguez8342 sometimes i forget the blatant racism of the Sonic community
I Think Ryan drummond Can still do the voice. Not as energetic as he used to be, But kinda sounds like a mix between drummond and griffiths voice of sonic. Its nice. He still has potential.
Hunnid P really thought he had the exaggerated swagger 😂
The way he jumps off that hill and glides through the air is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a red echidna, it gives me goosebumps every time he does it.
3:33 When SA2 was actually the first sonic game that had curse words in a Sonic game.
Ay they may have cursed but they will never hold a candle to "Where's that DAMN fourth chaos emerald?" Truly a classic.
@@narxmagee727 shadow is actually a really fun game, I’ve replayed it multiple times
@@rankrodent2772 Oh that's cool. I wasn't trying to say it's bad. I was just saying the funny "damn" line. I actually never played Shadow so I can't really make any judgements on whether it's bad or not. Kind of a mess of a story though in my opinion.
@@narxmagee727 Indeed!!!
@@rankrodent2772 you're right!!!
Man, that sucks. I hate this guy, but I love his voice. Hopefully if they do more Knux raps, they’ll hire someone who can sound just like him.
If you heard rap in a game and then thought that as bad you might have interalized racism
… or maybe we just don’t like that genre and prefer something like hard rock?
Emi Jones (or EmuEmi, who made Sonic and Tails R) is someone who i admire a lot, and this dude is a real POS for doing that to her.
"Only counting mainline games so I'm not counting M A N I A ."
Yeah I don’t get this attitude. Is it just so that he has an excuse to hate “mainline sonic” as a whole or does he actually only consider 3D sonic “mainline?”
If there exists a “mainline” then mania is unfortunately irrefutably part of forces since it leads into it... I mean, it’s silly to argue what’s “mainline” or “canon” when it comes to sonic, I just don’t get the reasoning behind saying mania isn’t.

I still don't understand the reasoning behind people calling Mania non-mainline.
@@Laiser i think its cuz ppl hate forces
Its clear that Splash Dash doesn't do enough research
all this just convinces me that Twitter was a mistake lol. I still like the songs.
Let's be honest, this is the sonic fanbase. You kinda have to accept when you go so deep that there's a LOT of weird and messed up shit out there. Dude making decent music 22 years age and going apeshit a generation later is like a 2 on the sonic Iceberg of weird shit
I dont think it was twitter that caused this tho, guy just sounds like a jack diddly doo. No wonder he's literally done nothing else. Plus he just sung and wrote the lyrics too, he didnt even make the best aspects of the song outside of the humor of it all.
You do realize the fanbase only great aspect is making fangames better than sega they hired a guy to help them and make his own along with how fans even continue to this day on discontinued sonic comics
it's Twitter's fault that he did all those things?
the rouge songs are lowkey the best songs in the game
Face it you're never gonna get my rhymes
Do I look like I need YOUR rhymes?
He basically turned into a real life hot-headed Knuckles with a hint of perviness. Real sad how things turned out...
His music still be bumpin’ tho
Good video unfortunately disliking SA2 is a crime punishable by death
Huh, no wonder why I don't see some people anymore around here. Glad I like SA2 thought...
YOU NEVER WILL TAKE ME FUCKERS AHAHAHA!
Indeed!!!
agreed
SA1 is better
All Sonic games are shit shit shit shit!!! Worse than bubsy 3D and worse than going to school
Hey, I saved myself a ton of time by looking up “Hunnid P” on the Sonic wiki and reading the two paragraphs about the actual controversy.
So sick of TH-camrs padding their videos like it’s a school assignment or something.
He can’t do the voice anymore?! Its been 20 years since the game released 🤦🏼♂️ he’s going to be rusty
knock knock its kuckles

Dad please come back me and mom have been been waiting for 10 years
dad you should spit some bars on the next sega game ya feel

I agree with all of this, except the part about Ryan Drummond. I've worked with voice actors before (full disclosure: I am not a voice actor myself, I've been involved only in more technical aspects of the process - however that's the part that's relevant) and voice acting is a lot more complex than people seem to think: it involves numerous takes of each line, a voice director who acts like a regular set director would, and even other parts of the game's development team who are more familiar with the scenes themselves.
Basically, not being able to nail a voice he hasn't done for 15 years *on the first take with no direction* doesn't mean he couldn't do it in a professional setting after some warm-up.
"Do not fit a Sonic game at all." That's a bull-crap nonsensical statement.
1. A character from the 90s when hip-hop was at it's best(The Golden Age of Hip-Hop), who was purposely influenced by it along with other forms of hip-hop and street culture.
2. Said titular character has shoes purposely based on Michael Jackson who had to do with black originated music like R&B, funk, New Jack Swing(which combines the elements of Rap and Hip-hop) and soul.
3. Said titular character was voiced by Jaleel White, a black actor who was Sonic's original prominent voice actor who added his own smooth flavor to it, which is one of the reasons Sonic is known for using street/hip-hop slang in his various media.
4. Said titular character is a b-boy(break-dances constantly), through out various mediums.
5. Knuckles having dreadlocks as quills and shoes patterned after the Jamaican Rastafarian flag.
6. Sonic CD's various music, vocals, especially American ending theme and the Japanese opening and ending themes.
7. SEGA itself being known for hip-hop influence with Sonic, Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, Mad World, Toejam & Earl, and such.
8. Tails saying "true that" in present day continuing the influence.
9. The original Sonic movie trailer playing Gangster's Paradise.
10. The rap lyrics in Metallic Madness in Sonic Mania/Mania Plus.
11. The hip-hop influence of themes for Hill-Top, Mystic Cave, Metropolis, Carnival Night, Sonic Rush, and more.
12. Knuckles and his boy Vector in general.
Sonic was inspired by American culture, hip-hop culture, and extreme sports culture to appeal to those three respective demographics. Those are Sonic's roots and origin.
And I know there's something else I'm missing.
Regardless, you didn't look that far into it did you?...
He's a typical guy who doesn't like rap music....
What’s weird is that Sonic fans also seem to forget the fact that “His World”, the main theme song for Sonic ‘06, had rap segments throughout. So Knuckles’ songs aren’t the only Sonic songs with rap in the series. It’s also ignorant, since “His World” has been and remained as a pretty popular and enjoyed Sonic song throughout the years. But yeah, I got pretty annoyed by that “Rap doesn’t fit Sonic at all” claim. It’s a really ignorant (and uncultured) claim to make when it comes to all the inspiration sources that the series has gotten over the decades.

I actually always loved Jason Griffith as Sonic. I would love for him to come back. I miss Amy’s voice from unleashed, Sonic X, etc. Thank you for the video.
Honestly, the whole 4Kids cast should come back. And especially Kiyoko Yoshimura, who wrote the stories for Unleashed and Black Knight. They were finally getting things together in 2009, and then just scrapped it all. A real shame... it’s the last time Sonic felt like Sonic to me.
@@SilverSpireZ
I agree, though I loved colors and generations..
@@sketchyann609 Colors and Generations aren’t bad games at all. I really enjoy Generations, and Colors is perfectly serviceable. I’d still rather play any of the games before them, though, outside of some Generations mods.
But the stories were downright terrible. The only reason that Generations’s story isn’t hated is because there’s barely any to begin with. And Colors was just cringey for the most part. But I will say that Lost World and Forces’s stories make the previous two look like The Last of Us 1 by comparison.
I get that it’s not the main focus, and I think they shouldn’t got full on 06 or Shadow again. But Unleashed and Black Knight had the perfect blend of seriousness and levity that the series needed. And the writing was actually really good in those games. It just feels like a downgrade overall. But that’s just how I feel
@@SilverSpireZ Roger should have used his Forge voice from Wolverine and the Xmen. Instead he sounds like Jaleel white 2.0
Didn’t even know about this stuff happening. Probably because I don’t have Twitter.
The guy who wrote the rap jingles heard in Street Fighter III: Third Strike apparently had a day to write them out as well, so perhaps back then they had a v short deadline to meet when it came to working with overseas developers
You gonna talk about the new Emi Jones stuff?
who did she sleep with this time?
8:16
Perfect use of Knuckles' "Oh no" clip.
Oh yes
Thought this video seemed a little biased against the guy while I was watching it, then you confirmed it by saying that Hunnid P "deserves no credit for the tracks being as good as they are". That's just straight up bullshit. He killed every single one, not just sonically but with how they matched to the stage. In fact, after watching this and learning that he didn't even get to play the stages before writing the tracks, I realized he deserves more credit than I originally gave him. Rapping isn't as easy as people think, at all. Every single syllable has to be on point.
That said, the shit with Emi is inexcusable and definitely makes me feel some type of way about him too. Oh and yes, his new single Pumpkin Pumpkin is pretty trash.
He deserves no credit. The music that he didn't write is good, the lyrics that he did write are cringe worthy trash. And I'm starting to get tired of the Sonic fanbase pretending they're not.
@@mjc0961doesn't matter if u don't like that

He’s done a few sonic mania songs, some sonic forces ones, sonic generations, and unleashed!
He also doesn’t only do sonic, he does other games and remixes too!

His track “It’s no use if you’re too slow” includes a small rapping portion using the AoSTH theme and I fuckin love it
Oh yeah, I remember always listening to his stuff back in the day. I especially like his Stardust Speedway, Crisis City, Mirage Saloon, and Titanic Monarch covers. He's just so smooth (guess that's kinda in the name.)
He’d definitely be a good fit for Knuckles music, I would love to see him do covers of Pumpkin Hill or Aquatic Mine
Smooth4Lyfe deserves official work for sure, would love to see him replace this clown
wow, what a shame :(
but I can still imagine that is Knuckles who sings, not a person like this.. because.. lmao this Echidna is amazing, who doesn't like Knuckles??
Those sonic underground pictures of knuckles killed me lol

Sometimes you never think of the music a person made, but when you do you feel different..
The art can be separated from the artist

Give Fumie Kumatani some credit, ahhhhh she's the one who composed most of the backing tracks! Tomoya Ohtani did the mines iirc
No Ohtani produced all the Knuckles songs. Kumatani did the Rouge songs (besides Egg Quarters), a few Shadow songs and the Biolizard theme
I wish she worked more tracks
knuckles is my favourite character. When sonic 3 came out I was so intrigued by this new character plus as sonics rival was very interesting to see as he played the antihero role well. And by the time sonic and knuckles dropped it seemed like he was bit more wiser to eggmans control. Really good character,
he has had my favorite character design in all of fiction since I was 3 or 4 years old. he looks kinda weird nowadays and they don't do anything with him, which is a shame.
