"I'm lit like John Wick, can kill you with a pencil"....you light a wick as in a candle. Kill you with a pencil as in his writing game and then throwing back to the Baba Yaga line. This was my number 2 favorite, number 1 being the window scheme. That was insane. Knox is beyond lyrically insane.
I said it on Knox's video, but I've been out of the hip-hop scene for a very long time, but Knox & Ren have dragged me back in. They are the Chuck D & Michael Franti of now for me. Saying the truth were others won't tread.
I just caught the "Elephants in the room and these donkeys in attendance but I dont vote for any...I'm independent" line referring to the 2 party system. Wow! Carrying on the political scheme right after the "They serve you all this racket but I aint into tennis" part. Knox is so damn clever. Great reaction as always!
It annoys me a bit that your reaction already has 1000+ views and 200+ likes in less than an hour, but Knox' video only has 66 views and 22 likes and has been up for 5 days 😥People, ALWAYS remember to show the artists the Love you all show Cliff Beats ❤❤
Just started following knox maybe a month ago. Knew he rap, but never actually heard him before. Didn't know he was that good. Great reaction and breakdown as always.
"Kill you with a pencil" could also potentially be a ode to Eminems "Gnat" where he says "Ain't nothin' you say can ever trump, mic, pencil get killed" because as Eminem has stated if anyone were to try, (s)he would metaphorically “get killed” because of Em’s prowess with the “mic” and “pencil”. and Knox is basically saying the same thing except Knox is the Boogieman. Both Knox and Em are insane with their word play talents.
The fact that you & KH are in contact is awesome. I love both of you guys' content. KH def went hard. You caught a lot more than I did on my first few listens lol

Shout out to Knox man, one of the few really great breakdown channels! Why? Because only who's loving doing something is able and has the effort to explain what that Love is about, and do it just to try to make more people's passion about it grow and grow to the point of falling in love with that too... Knox, one of the real ones, just like Cliff... rare to find channels full of substance like thist two... 🐀♥️🐀♥️🙌🙌♥️🐀♥️🐀
Love, Love, Love @Knox Hill! Straight 🔥 🔥🔥🔥. @Cliff Beats- amazing reaction, as always! I agree that we do get an incredible breakdown from you working in the “industry”, but show so much love for the independent game! And, @Knox Hill, I’ve been following you for probably 4 years now, but the first time I ever heard you speak, I knew without any doubt that your intelligence obviously was a huge benefit your ability to make connections and have a 16 bar scheme. You are truly talented and this song shows how you have only gone upwards! Amazing lyrics. To you both, absolutely love you both, true talent on each side! Keep up the amazing work, guys! 🩵🩵🩵🩵
I'm not gonna lie. I hated listening to knox hills rap. But it wasnt because he was bad, it was because he was way above everyone else with his pen game and I couldnt understand. But now I love him! I just got to listen over and over
@charlesmichels7873 I actually thought of that shortly after I posted the comment and was going to add to it, but I had just gotten to a job site for work, then forgot about it for a few hours 😅
H-Mack is the best freestyler there is, but his writing skill is mediocre. Knox falls into the category of a cheap Em wannabe, he is not that good either.
@ExpressAI. hello Mr. Hater. I wasn't, and am still not, the biggest fan of Knox, but I also haven't heard anything from him in a while. And this just showed me his talent has improved exponentially. Like Cliff said, he doesn't have just double or triple entendres. Some of these bars had 4 or 5 in them. They're not the deepest or most confusing words he uses, but the way he is able to weave them to make some have so many meanings fit in such a small space allows him to write a song that's half the length of normal rappers and say 3 times as much. Give credit where credit is due.
Knox is on a different level. His speed, cadence, and flow are just monsterous. So many times I've listened 3, 4, 5 times to one of his raps, to catch most of what he is saying, and still missed stuff. Great reaction, Cliff. Also, Knox is probably the most cerebral rapper out there because he's always throwing doubles, triples, different beats, different cadences, raps with deep meanings and hard, fast hits. He perceives every nuance of a song, rap, or beat on such a different level. If people want to compare him to Eminem, I see that as a massive compliment, because they are both masters in the rap world.
I believe every white rapper tainted as an Em clone will only be thought of as one when their style of rap and writing is damn near the same as Em's! I remember when Bubba Sparxx came out. He was one of the 1st to be called a clone. Its all about the style, sound, flow, lyricism, and rhyme pattern. Em was the 1st white rapper to completely changed how rap sounds when it comes to all these skill sets needed to become an artist. There are a lot of white rappers not being declared as an Em clone. I believe Rittz to be one of them. Granted I dont know his entire career history up until now. But ive never heard his name come up when the "Em clone" topic is brought up. Knox does write, and sound, just like Em! There's no way around that. I dont judge that from his skin tone either. I listen to him, and watch his reactions. Em is the Rap God to him. Just like Tupac is the Rap God to me. The music Knox makes however is very good. Despite everything! Come to think of it. Em is the only rapper to have changed his style at least 3 or 4 times now dating all the way back to the Infinite days. Em has gradually sounded like a completely different artist most probably wouldnt have been aware of if his voice wasnt familiar, or well known to everyone. I'm not just talking about Em's Slim Shady, Eminem, Marshal Mathers alter egos either. Im talking about the way he sounds and writes from Infinite, all the way to Music To Be Murdered By. Being compared to Em is privilege and a blessing in my opinion.
Is the cliff notes bar a reference to you? As in he doesn't need a ghost writer? Great single shot video. Sam inspiring as many as Ren. Edit... just saw the end, you clocked it.
That's what I thought. It's cool to see you all hyping each others content. There's some talent within the Avengers, would be cool to see you all collab on something at some point. I can't be the only 1 thinking it. 😁😁😁💯
One of these days BP, Anthony, Knox and Dominic, will have a song together and since you can’t sing you can react to it. Now that would be amazing. The best part of the song for me, of course the mention of Cliff notes 🤩🤩. I love today.❤️❤️👵🏼Gmaw

great reaction i love this song knox definitely has a good pen game people better not sleep on knox hill ❤ i would of loved another minute or two to this. yes logan paul did basically a crypto scam on his fans and basically passed the buck to the developers instead of taking responsibility knox did a couple videos about it. it was a project called crypto zoo it was a crypto game that to this day still doesn't work properly. people lost hundreds of thousands plus on it.
I could be wrong “Cliff Beats” buuuut unless I missed another measure addressed, I only heard KnoxHill address Clef notes not Cliff. I don’t think Knox was calling you out in any multiple entendres. I hope that saves from any Angus beef lol… (hence “Clef Notes” musical lyrics and notes from artists who have bogus lyrics like having Clef lips or a Clef mouth etc etc that has multiple meanings and entendres to what he rapped…. Ill go ahead and have a 5th,6th,7th listen 🤣🤙
Jeeeeezm crow Cliff! Hahaha I thought I was giving Knox a solid lyrical scapegoat and use my idea of Clef notes calling out mumble rappers as if they rapped with clef lips! Lolol …. And of course thats how I verbally interpreted Knox lyrics and I mean absolutely no disrespect to anyone who has clef lips or mouths…. Being the facts this is on an Eminem beef beat vs MGK I figured Knox went hardcore with a left field multiple entendre like Em would’ve done lol…. We all interpret songs and break them down differently so AGAIN absolutely no disrespect to anyone less fortunate. But Good on you Knox with a remix and soooo many BARS ON BARS! You most certainly put your work in and GET A LOAD OF IT BEING A ONE TAKE VID AS WELL!! 🤙💙🤙 Much Love & good on both of you Cliff and Knoxhill!
CLIFF BEATS DISS CONFIRMED?! 🤣 Love you bro. One the THE BEST breakdown channels on the platform. Criminal this man has only 210K. Sub up people 🙌
Ur here Knox, great song 🔥
ITS BEEF!! 🙏 🤣
You can tell who inspires Knox! The GOAT of rap it’s obvious! Ems flows, writing skills, the multi syllable schemes! Truly one of a kind
100 percent certified, ground up, grade a purified.
@@jessedavis1741he has more influences than Eminem. I can hear a lot of other East coast/ west coast rappers in his cadences. Very dope 😊 ❤
makes me cry honestly how good friends you 2 are really upsets me when i leave my house and i dont watch ure channel
Knox! On Ems flows 👌👌❤🔥❤🔥
Stay independent!!! GOT TO LOVE those bars. Brilliant! Go Knox❤
Knox is the goat of break downs. He needs to break his own music down. Crazy
"I'm lit like John Wick, can kill you with a pencil"....you light a wick as in a candle. Kill you with a pencil as in his writing game and then throwing back to the Baba Yaga line. This was my number 2 favorite, number 1 being the window scheme. That was insane. Knox is beyond lyrically insane.

❤ both of you
I caught the Cliff Notes 😂😂😂 ❤❤❤ This was so damn cold!
LOL
"Cliff Notes" is 🔥
Agree....I need to listen to this 5 or 6 times. Praise the independent artist 🔥
Just watched his video and thought, where is Knox to break this down. Thank you Cliff glad he sent this to you.
He's such a clever writer, and SO FREAKING SMART.
Very intelligent 😘

His video has much more than that. TH-cam freezes sometimes.
On my way there for his video next. I'm guilty of forgetting it was dropping. 🤦 But hopefully more people will go check it out too.

My 2 favourite reaction channels.
We all have an alliance. Me and 4 others. We work together.
Same! Cliff and Knox are my go-to reaction channels.

Yup, usually I go to Knox for the breakdown, but when I saw it was Knox, I came here for the breakdown😊
Knox pushin the envelope? 👀
Only way to do it ✉️
Also, in the 1st John Wick, the russian mob boss called him the Baba Yaga (there was even a short folclore song). It's impossible to catch them all
Finally someone giving a reaction to another reactors music! Y’all work so hard and deserve to have your music getting reacted to
Just left Ren's premier and came straight here!!! Was in Knox's premier and I will have this on repeat for the rest of the day!!!!!
Cliff Notes 😂😂 0 that smile at the end says, a you're proud friend.
Knox knocked it out the park!!! 😮 Genius bars.
I friggin' LOVE his cadence and the swag in his voice ❤🔥😎🤘
Eargasms galore!!!
I catch all the meanings in every bar the first time.
Because of how I process lyrics and sound.
That Shaq,( heat - Miami ), Curry ( Stef )… bar at the intro is 🔥…
Lets go Knox

Killshot but also one shot 🎥

Woot!! And it's all one take!! Less go!! 🎉🎉🎉

the only thing better than watching Knox's video was watching this reaction right after!!!! Damn!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Great - fun Reaction Cliff‼️💯
…. Love Knox Rxns but haven’t listened to any of his rap hardly. Although I liked this one!! 🔥
You gotta react to more of his music. He has a lot of fire, well written, original music.
Not gonna lie. When I see that even you have to do it. I don't feel so bad about having to rewind several times, trying to catch Know's bars. 😄
Knox is an awesome rapper xx this was a Killshot 😂❤🐢 xx
Much love from Kentucky ❤️❤️
Knox in his lane ..🔥
Imagine once H-Mac starts writing and him and Knox get on some tracks together... 🤯🤯 I think that might literally break the internet.
hmmm, no. H-Mack is amazing in his own freestyle lane. But I understand why you would be hype.
I could see Mack freein’ around Knox’s writtens…

Knox keeps leveling up as an artist and I love watching it happen, can’t wait to see what he does next
Did you get a shoutout Cliff @15:21? Then he went into a Crypt line, another youtube rapper.
Knox is on a different level. His speed, cadence, and flow are just monsterous. So many times I've listened 3, 4, 5 times to one of his raps, to catch most of what he is saying, and still missed stuff. Great reaction, Cliff.

Thank you for the breakdown, really needed it cause i had a hard time catching a lot. Appreciated
Yeah not gonna lie I was one of them 17 view’s! Knox killed that remix! Good reaction Cliff
Love it! Great reaction as always Cliff!
Definitely one of the best reactor i follow... well done knocks 👏
This freaking great. I new he was going to blow. I love me some Knox Hill ❤.
'Don't fuck with my dawgs' is also a Wick line - John went fkn mental cos they killed his dog. Great breakdown Cliff

That’s hint for the movie total recall , the myriad meanings behind each bars is insane
