What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro check out my ‘Killshot Remix’ now 🔥 th-cam.com/video/dz_T-VnMf0M/w-d-xo.html
Professor Knox, I personally would love watching you react to songs that inspired YOU to pick up the mic, or some of your own all time favorites, or songs that made an impact on YOU and influenced YOUR style. Or some GOLDEN OLDIES, your favorite Big L song, Pun, Treach, LL, RAKIM, NAS, or I dunno some Indie Underground cats like ANYONE from Jedi Mind Tricks or Army of the Pharaohs, Or likes of Aesop Rock, Or songs that aint any of the above but were popping back in your early days, like WHY Asher Roth became a thing, or OMG dude do Kreayshawn's Gucci Gucci... you know your account of D-Evolution of the game throughout the past 20 years or so as a first-hand witness... Something diffrent
I love your reactions. I am 49 years old Latina. For me, this is one of the best of Eminem. I feel like I missed him for a long time! 🫶🫶 Maybe The Earth had been so “plain” since the beginning of 2000... Nowadays, it is so crazy and ridiculous everywhere. Great reaction! ❤
welcome back... i stopped listening for a long time too, but Em never stopped... listen to "believe" or "guts over fear" or "kings never die" i feel like they would be right up your alley... this song is the most basic track i wish people wouldnt focus on.
I absolutely love your reaction brother. I remember when this song dropped I was 15 or 16 years old and had bought the album and this was a song that stayed on repeat heavy during my teenage years. I am now 37 years old going on 38 and this song brought back the inner child. So I appreciate you knox for doing a full analysis to this classic bop. It's still a banger man and if it was to be dropped today he would get cancelled immediately 😂😂 Eminem is the goat!! I forgot how funny the video was 😅😅
The cop is Eric Estrada playing the character of California Highway Patrol officer Francis (Frank) "Ponch" Poncherello from TV series "CHiPs". Which also starred Larry Wilcox.
It's worth noting that the kid dancers Em used appear to be the _same ones_ Missy Elliot used in _her_ music videos of the period, such as "Work It". The girl in white top and red pants is (or is representing) Alyson Stoner, who is _still_ a professional dancer. Alyson reunited with Missy in 2020 for the VMA's retrospective performance. The police officer reading the newspaper was Erik Estrada, former star of C.H.I.P.S. (a tv show you have to be a certain age to remember).
I love your reactions. You're making a name for yourself in that as well as your music. You are smart as a whip dude you catch everything in videos. It doesn't matter who you're reacting to you catch it all. I think it's pretty amazing. That's a talent in itself being able to pick up so much from the videos. Any videos you re-act to. I feel like a proud momma to you.
This is one of my favorites because I actually know all the references and the beat is fire! Also, it's the sarcastic humor in it that makes me smile! Love your detailed reactions and all of your music too🎉❤
I forgot about those kids in the video! Same ones from the missy times and in the dance movies I remember there was like 2-3 kids every dance scene of music or movies and they just kept it going. Iconic
Another easter egg: The man holding the newspaper when Eminem's in jail, is the actor Erik Estrada, who played one of the cops in C.H.I.Ps, a 70s TV series. I nearly choked seeing him again, the man has not changed!
Dude. You have quickly become my favorite reactor. You get it.... i mean Im old af and know all the words to all slims albums i just love the breakdowns you do for those who just don't get it.
Fun fact the young female dancer is called Alyson Stoner she played Caitlyn Gellar in Camp Rock, and Camille in Step Up Tyler's (Channing Tatum) younger sister
I remember reading about Stevie Wonder accusing Eminem of culture vulture because of this video. But Eminem clarified in interviews that he doesn't actually hates Michael, it's just that EVERYONE was trolling Michael when those investigations were happening, so Eminem (who's know to troll everyone) of course was gonna do it. Which by the way, MJ never officially got guilty, many people act like he did but no. Even in that Neverland documentary there's many people who called out the inconsistencies with the documentation and the dates of the events, even many of those children that are now adults publicly talked that MJ never did anything bad to them. Like many people forget that, the parents had TO SIGN A PERMISSION for the kids to go to Neverland ranch. Like this it's not Epstein's island. Also many people say that "oh MJ bought Em's entire catalog-" No. I think MJ bought a section of Em's catalog (maybe someone can explain the details better to me in the comments), so certain songs generated income to MJ but it's not EVERY single song that Em did at the time, I swear many people get the details so fucking wrong.
Well said. MJ only bought 2-3 songs at that time and in 2005 Em dropped Curtain Call: The Hits and he got money from those songs MJ bought which were on original albums. And again in 2016 Em bought & gained all rights to his music, all his catalogue even those 2-3 songs bought by MJ.
@KnoxHill The “sign me up to battle, I’m a grown man!” Is dialogue from the movie 8 Mile when him and Future have a fight after B-Rabbit learns that Future signed him up to battle without checking with him first.
I googled when Hammertime was released; I just turned 18, 3 days earlier. ugh, I'm old :/ Since I already aged myself; the cop with the newspaper when Em was in jail, is Eric Estrada. He was one of the stars of CHiPs ('77 - '83). Oh hey, Google just let me know this too: "Estrada later helped establish an Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force office by joining the St. Anthony, Idaho Police Department as a reserve officer in 2016, and remains an ICAC Task Force investigator to this day."
Don't know if you'll go back to see this. Your reactions are amazing. But you never mentioned the Erik Estrada cameos. Perhaps you are to young for "Chips"' TV show
Absolutely love this video😂 I remember being smaller and my mom being mad I was watching it. But Knox you have got to react to infinite!! I’ve been wanting a breakdown of it for so long!
Amazing that I still remember watching MTV back in the days about shooting clips. And I remember those behind the scene's, how Eminem left some comments about kids dancing, them being pros😅
I am not sure how almost everyone has not put together why it is Madonna......a possible theory: Madonna and Michael were a bit of a thing for a hot second.
I made it to the end of the video because 1.) You are VERY easy on the eyes; 2.) You are my favorite reactionary because you are spot on. You don't miss a beat. I take it you are well educated, in general, and in music, specifically. I learn something new every time I watch you. Thank you! 3.) I LOVE Eminem!
also I’m pretty sure that when em says “I’m a grown man” that’s a reference to a scene in 8 mile we’re em is mad at future for signing him up to battle and “I’m a grown man” was ems excuse to not go
The amount of double and triple entendres I have missed in Ems music over the years, damnnn.. the fact you pick up on all of these so quickly makes me wonder if I am a little simple 😂 intelligent in many ways but usually can only pick up on a few of the entendres Em is spitting
This is the era of Eminem that I actually like and can handle. It's so funny. 😂 Did you ever end up finishing reacting to the rest of NF's HOPE album? I was really looking forward to hearing your take on the rest of the songs!
I remember watching this the day it came out! LOVE EMINEM ALWAYS! 🐐❤ Knox, sugar, this song and HAMMER TIME are both on my playlist right now! 👍🔨 😂 Love this song & of course, your breakdown... Luv ya Professor! p.s. Ice Ice Baby is on that playlist too! 😂
GenX stopping by to love your work & help with the details - Paul Reubens famously had an illegal 🌽 collection that a shock-rocker named after THE famous starlet inherited. Marshall knows this & has been airing all of music's dirty laundry his entire career.
I feel like you have to be a certain age to understand all of the throwbacks. It is fun to re-listen to a song from back in the day that was "current issues and ahead of its time."
Adding something, the kids dancing are a reference/shout out to missy elliot, she'd inlclude kid dancers on her videos (not sure if the white girl was one of them) and on one video even had a similar background!
I'd forgotten about this video...not the song though. Pee wee Herman, MC Hammer...talk bout making me feel old. Remember Jackson tried to sue him and stop it been ever aired but failed! God i miss these Shady days 😢 your breakdown was awesome. Thanks for that! Filled in an awful lot of blanks I would never have picked up! Especially on the farting 😂
Man are you doing a fantastic job of it. You, ive said many times fascinate me with your knowledge your intelligence shines through in everything you do, thank you for doing what you do x
Great reaction and love going back to an old school Em song! How about Eazy-E "Boyz-N-Tha-Hood!" The song that inspired the original movie. I'm pretty sure Ice Cube wrote the song with or for E. It's a great old school rap track. Knox! I'm really surprised you haven't reacted to the new Freestyles that dropped in the last couple of weeks from Merkules and Caskey! They are both freestyling on an Em beat and both shout out Kels (MGK, obviously) for inspiring them to put out these freestyles. I would also love to see you react to Ekoh and Lo Spirit "Hello Lonliness." And Skydxddy "Why Me" and/or her remake of Dax's Joker. ❤
the "papa" of "Papa's got a brand new bag of toys" may also refer to Madonna's papa don't preach, an era where Madonna was known to wear conical bras. And he very clearly announces this is Shady's work, so he is putting some shade on all the people he is mentioning deliberately, calling them out for their dubious choices in career and personal lives.

Sa-roc - Maximum Frequency please! You're gonna enjoy it
React to In Your Head, By Eminem, Knox ! Been asking for a long time 🙏
Anything from relapse album? Will be sure to get cancelled ☠️🔥 always here for all break downs
Professor Knox, I personally would love watching you react to songs that inspired YOU to pick up the mic, or some of your own all time favorites, or songs that made an impact on YOU and influenced YOUR style.

Something diffrent
@KnoxHill you sir are my favorite reactor along with @NoLifeShaq the kings of Reactions. Breaking down bars doesn’t get any better than you tho.
The guy behind the newspaper is Eric Estrada, who was in a TV series called "CHiPS" back in the late '70's.
Oh, Erik Estrada of Cool Cat Saves the Kids fame?
I'm kidding. It's still funny he was in that movie though
Ahh the king lives on. Honestly feel like Eminem helped foster my morbid humor and I don't hate it one bit. Teaches you to laugh in dark times.
He did! I'm a prime example of that as well 😏
I’m mostly a metal/rock girl but I can’t deny my love for Eminem!
My favorite part of this video is his face and the way he says "what's your name girl, what's your sign" 😂
My favorite is when he says "they said i was runing butt naked down the street screaming aaaah" 😂
I love your reactions. I am 49 years old Latina. For me, this is one of the best of Eminem. I feel like I missed him for a long time! 🫶🫶 Maybe The Earth had been so “plain” since the beginning of 2000... Nowadays, it is so crazy and ridiculous everywhere.
Great reaction! ❤
welcome back... i stopped listening for a long time too, but Em never stopped... listen to "believe" or "guts over fear" or "kings never die" i feel like they would be right up your alley... this song is the most basic track i wish people wouldnt focus on.
Would you say… it felt so empty?
Lol nice
I absolutely love your reaction brother. I remember when this song dropped I was 15 or 16 years old and had bought the album and this was a song that stayed on repeat heavy during my teenage years. I am now 37 years old going on 38 and this song brought back the inner child. So I appreciate you knox for doing a full analysis to this classic bop.

The jailer was the Easter egg in the jail scene. It was Eric Estrada from C.H.I.P.S.
i was hoping somebody was going to point that out
I was gonna say something about Eric Estradas Camio, I guess Knox is a little too young to remember Chips.
The one girl dancer plays in arrow also Erik Estrada and Paris lol
The cop is Eric Estrada playing the character of California Highway Patrol officer Francis (Frank) "Ponch" Poncherello from TV series "CHiPs". Which also starred Larry Wilcox.
At 43, I do remember MC Hammer very well. Can't remember what I ate yesterday, but I do remember things from the past.
It's worth noting that the kid dancers Em used appear to be the _same ones_ Missy Elliot used in _her_ music videos of the period, such as "Work It". The girl in white top and red pants is (or is representing) Alyson Stoner, who is _still_ a professional dancer. Alyson reunited with Missy in 2020 for the VMA's retrospective performance.

Who says Eminem doesn’t teach us stuff !? This video made me rethink some of my idols and people that I grew thinking that these people were fabulous!
Knox NEEDS to do a full analysis on "We Made You" some day!
I love your reactions. You're making a name for yourself in that as well as your music. You are smart as a whip dude you catch everything in videos. It doesn't matter who you're reacting to you catch it all. I think it's pretty amazing. That's a talent in itself being able to pick up so much from the videos. Any videos you re-act to. I feel like a proud momma to you.
2 things:
1. The jailer is Eric Estrada from C.H.I.P.S
2. The little boy in red plaid 15:56 might be a reference to Macaulay Culkin
It's killing me every time Knox makes the " ahahahah " sound from the chorus
I mean, everytime he tries to remake the sound 😂
You missed the CHiPS reference. Eric Estrada
I freaking love this track 😂
Em caught so much heat for this track 😆
This is one of my favorites because I actually know all the references and the beat is fire! Also, it's the sarcastic humor in it that makes me smile! Love your detailed reactions and all of your music too🎉❤

Glad I read this…surprised he didn’t know that was Ponch from CHIPS, I know it’s old , but pop culture, shit they made a movie recently, oh welll
Great reaction!!!
Eminem & KnoxHill are certified 🔥🔥🔥
The cop on the motorcycle is Eric Estrada, from an old TV show called CHiPS 😂
I never get tired of this ridiculous music video!!! Thanks for reacting to the classics!! 🎉🎉
My first em song is this one cuz i found it funny when i was a little the rhyme “ aghhh “. but now 💀💀
Dude. You have quickly become my favorite reactor. You get it.... i mean Im old af and know all the words to all slims albums i just love the breakdowns you do for those who just don't get it.
The best bar breakdowns - between The Third Ernest, Cliff Beats and you, I’ve got a whole new appreciation for rap!
That was Eric Estrada on the cop bike from the old TV show CHIPS.
the officer reading the paper is the actor Erik Estrada most famous for playing officer Frank Poncherello in the 1980's TV show chips
Fun fact the young female dancer is called Alyson Stoner she played Caitlyn Gellar in Camp Rock, and Camille in Step Up Tyler's (Channing Tatum) younger sister
we need "my band" by d12 now!
That was a great and funny reaction! Loved it!
That’s panch from the old school cop show chips holding the newspaper! Lol
The cop with the newspaper- Eric Estrada- he was on an old tv show called “CHIPS”
I freaking love you Knox 🤣 great reaction and your Killshot remix is absolute fire.! 💯🔥

I think the cop in the jail scene are Erik Estrada from his CHiPs days
Killshot remix is 🔥 Knox! Glad I have your autograph
Hey Knox i haven't Laughed this much on a reaction vid in a long time. Needed that as I'm cleaning the house. Love your reation vids
kasey chambers lose yourself is a must, keep up the good work, greatings from Sweden.
Absolutely love this video😂 I remember being smaller and my mom being mad I was watching it. But Knox you have got to react to infinite!! I’ve been wanting a breakdown of it for so long!
This is still hilarious all these years later. Em's timeless
Amazing that I still remember watching MTV back in the days about shooting clips. And I remember those behind the scene's, how Eminem left some comments about kids dancing, them being pros😅
this was Eminem on pills !!! good times
Encore is a fun Eminem album to listen to... I don't give a fuck who says it is a bad album!
Overdose. Clinical depression and near death experience aside...
No good times if a man is struggling
@@straightwhitemale9236same here..
Nah.
I am not sure how almost everyone has not put together why it is Madonna......a possible theory:
Madonna and Michael were a bit of a thing for a hot second.

My favorite rapper of all time Eminem
thank eff U actually get this vid! Luv from Auss

Did you ever end up finishing reacting to the rest of NF's HOPE album? I was really looking forward to hearing your take on the rest of the songs!
Your kill shot remix was so cool! Eminem would be proud ♥️
I remember watching the making of this video before the world premiere of it & his body double really looked so much like him
Txs Mr k H ..was feeling really low ..then watched your reaction 😂..cheered me up !
I'm of the mature age ..guy from cop show called 'chips ' cameo 😅
This man is a lyrical genius!
This is still one of my favourites. So funny. Thank you 😂💯
I remember watching this the day it came out! LOVE EMINEM ALWAYS! 🐐❤ Knox, sugar, this song and HAMMER TIME are both on my playlist right now! 👍🔨 😂 Love this song & of course, your breakdown... Luv ya Professor!

The greatest music video of all time 🔥
So damn close to a million subs man!
GenX stopping by to love your work & help with the details - Paul Reubens famously had an illegal 🌽 collection that a shock-rocker named after THE famous starlet inherited. Marshall knows this & has been airing all of music's dirty laundry his entire career.
Im 18 now, when i was 14 MC Hammer was my shiz, loved his music.
9k till 1M subs you got this my guy great content don't stop
Yo Knox bro that Killshot remix is awesome dude
Congrats on your 1M!
Love how he used Hayley in this video as well
I'm waiting for you, cause i been listening to Just lose it
This video got banned on BET 😂😂 Em hurt MJ feelings.
I feel like this intro could be longer.
The coefficient of bars per second is at its highest, people need to appreciate it!
I feel like you have to be a certain age to understand all of the throwbacks. It is fun to re-listen to a song from back in the day that was "current issues and ahead of its time."
Only 9k away from 1m, Knox. Hope you reach it before the year ends.
Adding something, the kids dancing are a reference/shout out to missy elliot, she'd inlclude kid dancers on her videos (not sure if the white girl was one of them) and on one video even had a similar background!

Just trying to educate the world
Man are you doing a fantastic job of it. You, ive said many times fascinate me with your knowledge your intelligence shines through in everything you do, thank you for doing what you do x
I think he reached the top of his slim side with both just lose it and we made you both for lyrics and video scenarios
Great Reaction! Funny Eminem is so good, can you do "We made you" next? Great Job man
Your happiness mirrors mine nice video bro ✌️
My hubbie just about died laffing when I let him watch the super DEEP dive you took on this one! 😂 ✌️🖤
Man. I haven't heard this song in forever.
Great reaction and love going back to an old school Em song! How about Eazy-E "Boyz-N-Tha-Hood!" The song that inspired the original movie. I'm pretty sure Ice Cube wrote the song with or for E. It's a great old school rap track.

I would also love to see you react to Ekoh and Lo Spirit "Hello Lonliness." And Skydxddy "Why Me" and/or her remake of Dax's Joker. ❤
thanks for the nod, those freestyles were fire
The most crazy video
❤...... 😂 this was crazy back in the day🤣 salute Knox 🥂🍾
Stay awesome dude
I still freak out over this music video when I saw Alyson Stoner. I freaking love her dancing.
Love the intro song
Michael Jackson got so offended that he bought Em's entire music catalog.
the "papa" of "Papa's got a brand new bag of toys" may also refer to Madonna's papa don't preach, an era where Madonna was known to wear conical bras. And he very clearly announces this is Shady's work, so he is putting some shade on all the people he is mentioning deliberately, calling them out for their dubious choices in career and personal lives.
You should do em's old track called " Infinite " love your videos mann :33
I’m still waiting for Knox to react to ems underground
Happy Sunday everyone
Loved this reaction just lose it always was a guilty pleasure pf a song on encore. Please react to ASSHOLE by Eminem!
That's not a stab a Michael that's just a metaphore I'm just psycho, Norman Bates.
Erik Estrada from "Chips" 🙂
Yo, happy birthday Knox Hill.
And he did have a song for the kids , called Kids , replaced the song Kim on the edited version of the marshal mathers lp 😅
I love that he references bad Santa to😂😂
