''So you got me in a scope but you grazed me'' graze beside barely hitting has another meaning which is feeding a goat , EM basically is saying Mgk fed him by his diss at him '' and There is a movie called KILLSHOT , which in that movie someone names COLSON , which is MGK's real name will be hunt down by a MARSHALL , EMINEM's real name, and Em later on says: ''Lethal injection, go to sleep 6 feet deep I'll give you a B for the effort, but if I was 3 Foot 11, you'd look up to me'' if you put the 6 and the B and the 3 and the 11 together , it's gonna be 6B311 , which is the code name of a PLANE that carried the cast of the movie KILLSHOT , EM is literally an alien , THE RAP GOD

The “locks changing” bar also means his hair has changed. Calling back to his weird beard and the fact that he used to bleach his hair too but now he’s older and has darker hair and rhymes…

[@albertopanocchi8861]

If you notice: " your reply got the crowd yelling woo, so before you dye let's see who can out petty-who" is a reference to Tom Perry's famous song "Running Down a dream" where the crowd, especially at concerts, would yell WOO continually for 1 minute straight with the guitar solo. It was a staple at Tom Petty concerts. Tom Petty died shortly before this battle. Also, this song was written by Em in 13 minutes and was published on the 14th September 2018 the same date of death of Patrick Swayze ( 14 Sep. 2009). If you search carefully in this part of killshot you can find Eminem's plane number ( on which he wrote the song)

[@Osirisofdoom]

@KnoxHill if you want to have your mind blown look at the lyrics at 2:17 in killshot - he says "give jade a kiss". Obvious references to Jadakiss and the kiss of death, but he says it at 2:17. Jadakiss second album was titled Kiss of Death and the 17th track was the title song...Kiss of Death. 2 and 17 - no shot that is coincidence.

I’m surprised Knox Hill didn’t catch the “toothpick” play on words and double/triple. Eminem says, “ little white toothpick” later he says “you’re loosing the fight you PICKED” play on looking like one and picking the fight literally and in some weird way metaphorically lol.

[@tonysottile11]

Aint nothin changed but the locks... - Triple Locks - keys to the game The Lox - older rap group from NY the locks - The only thing Em changed was his hair color (the locks) - still deadly on the mic.

[@iprodigy6723]

Yea but when referring to the lox they haven't changed and have remained one of the most consistent groups ever. I hated that line. I liked the other entendres if he would have left out jadas name leaving out the lox part wouldn't have bothered me. But felt like he wanted a go at kiss which would have been interesting.

Eminem said in Bully that he got money to clap back at anyone who tries to kill him over his raps. Diddy would need witness protection if he decided to do Eminem in. And Diddy knows this which is why he didn't actually "handle" Em like he said he would.

[@jasonmcdonnell6574]

Gotta wake up labor day to DISS

[@vatoloco7181]

Also he says "here's a autograph for your daughter, i wrote it on a starter cap" not only a call back to "Stan" but also implying the MGK's daughter is a huge fan of Em's, just like Stan's brother was.

[@jonnnyfruitbowls]

That's not a bar

[@marthaweigh]

I'm loving rap even more now because you're teaching us how to break it down and appreciate the genius skill Em has. I'm a 59 year old poet that loves and respects Eminem. Thank you Knox!

[@gmalone1969]

Before I even watch this 2.0 version, Em killed it. All MGK did was mention a ton of Em's biggest hits. It sounded great, but not much substance. Em too everything MGK said and turned it around on him. The line near the end, "As Long as I am Shady, you'll have to stand in my shadow" said it all. MGK got what he wanted out of it though, he got recognition. I had no idea who he was until this and wish I still didn't know who he is.

[@othnielaftermath8379]

I think the word you were looking for was "rebuttal" also when he said "ain't nothing change but the lox" he went from the signature blonde hair to natural. Really enjoy your breakdowns Knox, I truly believe Em saw your breakdowns, hope you collab with the Goat soon cuz u deserve it 💯Respect all the way from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹

Something no one caught. Iggy azalea real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly Her most famous song Fancy had the chorus that said " Remember my name I'm about to bloooowwww" Eminem said to mgk " Next to Taylor swift and that Iggy ho. You're about to really blow KELLY" He literally remembered her real name, like she said in the song and said that she thought she would blow with " Fancy" but now she's really gonna blow with him saying her name and he did that while still talking to mgk at the same time That is him dissing 2 artist in one sentence Genius

[@spiridonrobert16]

ye ,comparing mgk looks to them (skinny ,blonde hair,not taking in seriously)also blow can be a refernce to vegas and em raping mgk with killshot,it has so many layers and is so complex the whole song still slaps even now

“Nothin changed but the locks” is also a reference to him changing from bleach blonde back to his natural hair color. Locks of hair.

[@crichards037]

24:10 (ish) - In addition to MGK's verse on the Tech N9ne song, he also did a freestyle rap going for Em as well, which if I remember correctly was also released before Kamikaze. And then once Kamikaze came out and MGK heard that he was mentioned in "Not Alike", that's when the infamous "MGK popping champagne" video was posted, and "Rap Devil" was released shortly thereafter.

I wonder y other react channels miss SO much. They all say how MGK won and Em was weak. But tbh I think it proves how Em is just on another level. Mad props to u Knox!! Love ur content!!!

[@kintaro2083]

As a biologist, one of the crazy line I heard from Kill Shot was the "you broke bitch I have enough money in 02 to burn it in front of you." It basically means that Em had more money than MGK in 2002 (refers that Em has more success than MGK when he was younger) but also when you burn things you need oxygen, which the periodic element for Oxygen is also O2.

[@orber7057]

that was probably unintentional but still cool. and "in" sounds like "n" so i see how that could work

[@mcgigglefits9864]

The labor day bar has to be one of my favorite bars in this diss track because it's just an amazing yet simple double.

[@TheDazeez]

I have always thought the line “spend the whole day digging your own grave” was an underrated rebuttal to the music video lol, rarely gets pointed out because it wasn’t as hard of a hit but it was one of the witty ones

I'm enjoying the little tidbits of information the comments section is adding to this topic!

[@battoosh]

I've actually revisited this out of curiosity recently, and it was only then that I'd realized Eminem started the rebuttals even before the Rihanna line! MGK says in spoken tone "when your idols become your rivals", Em uses the rebuttle at the opening saying "when your fans become your haters" 😁

[@Wickit96]

Man, I remember the first time I heard the ditty line, and every reaction video that I watched, that shit shook the Earth

[@evansbezil7450]

That line hits different now in 2024

[@Ragamuffin89]

I love all the hidden meanings in Eminem's raps, particularly this one. "One call to Interscope and you Swayze". Patrick Swayze, famous actor, starred in the movie Ghost. To ghost someone, is to cut all ties without any explanation. Not only that, Eminem released this on 14th September, the very day Patrick Swayze passed away from cancer. Coincidence? Clever lyrical play? You decide.

[@cihanderin1355]

Clever lyrical play thats why he is the 🐐

[@shotaholic1]

hey Knox, I may not have been around your channel all that long…but you must have improved, simply do to the fact that you are one of the best breakdown channels on this platform. it’s just to rare to be one of the best without some sort of improvement. that said, keep up the great work my man.

Should have waited glad knox addressed this. I feel alot of reactors miss this triple 17:03 triple for “locks”, em now has alot of power in the rap industry and has changed the locks 🔐 to the industry potentially making it more diverse than simply it being about sex, drugs, and alcohol

You are a m o r o n. “Blonde Hair and Earrings Because you think you are Marshall.” Eminem doesn’t even have blonde hair. Eminem imagines MGK in Black leather. WTF. Eminem says MGK can have Kim. What a diss. Says MGK dresses better and references the Rap Devil video. MGK is not wearing a shirt. WTF? Eminem then says MGK can wear his flannel . That was the worst diss track . Eminem had nothing but contradictions. MGK came out with Rap Devil 2018 right after Kamikaze. Eminem last 4 albums Kamikaze, Revival, mm2, Recovery. Eminem was wrong MGK 5(8) 6(4) 7 Punches 8 Mile. 5678 Standing count.Eminem failed to address it. “Twice as Young”- Tay Keith born 7 days after Tupac died. (Killuminati) 7 day theory. Tay Keith was the Producer of “Not Alike.” Not only did MGK pull the 7 day theory he subliminally dissed Eminem for not alike. That’s how you right bars. 7 Punches 8 Mile. 8 mile was 2002- 2002+8+8=2018(You should go Back to Recovery 2010. 2002+8=2010 7 Punches 1996 Eminem starts. But can’t be Tupac (7 Day theory) 1996+7=2003 (The first Beard reference Business but also in songs Berzerk and Deja Vu.) 2003+7=2010 (You should go Back to Recovery 2010) Eminem says in the song “In my head” that he is on the verge of relapse because he’s stuck in recovery. MGK wrote a whole number code based on Tupac 7 day theory. God is 7. Infinite is 8 MGK. Infinite was Eminem’s first release. MGK wrote the best diss track in history. You pretend to be a rap fan

[@dallynd4518]

@6:20 "idaho potato!?" had me dying lol

[@acrillix3159]

I'm gonna regret this, but here's my take This beef was a stalemate. Neither won. Eminem called it in on this one and didnt put his usual diss track passion into it. He COULD HAVE outright forced a retirement but there's a lot of "i'mma help you out" vibes from Killshot. His rhyme scheme is among his best, but it made each punch appear to hit harder than it actually did. Now, to pick apart a few things, the man bun was only there for Bird Box filming then MGK ditched it right after, which shoulda been known by Eminem, so that's a miss. Another one is the mention about which album number Recovery was, which confused me even on the very first listen cause i'm pretty sure EPs and LPs still count as albums, so Em felt like he was trying to force something there... MGK was being praised for having the best diss track against Eminem every single day until Killshot came out, then interestingly that mention just disappeared. He even calls out some stuff that Eminem did NOT address whatsoever (are you really gonna count that scripted interview? I love Eminem but even that was pathetic for him. Let's be real here) outside of the Sway interview, which those were even pretty bad explanations and not convincing whatsoever... MGK was on his game and wrote that shit in 1 evening? Em took over a week and came out with Killshot... There's a lot more but i'd rather avoid getting my inbox blown tf up, but I never hear the above mentioned in various takes i've heard. MGK likely saw that Killshot wasnt what it coulda been, and decided to roll with that wave instead of attacking back. Should he have? Absolutely, but I'm pretty sure I see why he didnt, and why he's been furious about the beef since. He wanted to respond so bad, you can see it, but it wouldnt have helped him at all. If MGK were to wait till after his next album (current day) then I can see him making a more massive crater I;m a big fan of both, but I'm not wild about how Em handled his response.

Eminem DESTROYED MGK here. Dafuq drugs are you on?? Or are you a teenager?

[@acrillix3159]

@@jhorse6968 The results speak for themselves. MGK got bigger (crazier, yes, but also more of a big name too), he improved his raps, he proved he can succeed multi-genere. The hits didnt hit as hard as people think. Now, if this kept going beyond Killshot? 100% wouldve ended MGK. And I was a kid when Em dropped his first album so, I've been around his music long enough to know that he pulled his punches, and very noticably.

This is my fav line to reference still today: "here is your moment... Had to give you a career to Destroy it"

🎉🎉❤❤ I guess no one realizes that Patrick Swayze died September 14 2009 and Eminem drop kill shot September 14 2018 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😅😅😅😅😅

[@evansbezil7450]

It was for the Swayze line in the track to hit harder

Would love a series with Knox talking about Rap conspiracies!!

[@mikaereioane3749]

One thing about emz "flip" dis track that we may be missing is that, he may have chosen the approach to "flip" everything MGK said to further show how intelligent em really is by relating his symbolic middle finger gesture (flipping the bird) to the flipping off everything MGK line he came at him with. Hope that made sense lol. During the process of preparing the MGK response from eminem, there was a video of em playing pacman on an arcade machine which was another subliminal hit as if to say "im coming for your neck as MGK has a pacman tattoo on his neck. The man's on level 1000. Em fan. If this would be an actual fact, em wins but thats just my opinion 🤷

Dang I remember watching the first one when you dropped it and hat like 100k subs. Yr about to hit 900k. #1milForKnoxHill

I love how no one talks about the heaps of misinformation in killshot, mgk is not a mumble rapper, the man bun was from 2014-2015 years before the beef which was for a movie role, em didn't make or destroy his career, mgk had plenty of hits before the beef like wild boy and bad things, he does not have more fans than him in Cleveland that's the biggest lie I've ever heard in my life he literally has a whole holiday in Cleveland. I did like killshot tho the track is fire but half the people that review this beef are biased towards eminem and that's facts

[@haraldsknopkens8401]

I mean the whole point of a diss track is to troll the other person and get under their skin. Calling someone a mumble rapper and making fun of his style choices (even if forced upon him) is a great way to do it. Dont know about Em having more fans in Cleveland, but Em has more fans in the entire world, so statistically could be probable that he also has more fans in Cleveland, but that could very well be another try to get under MGKs skin. And it worked like a charm.

[@fitzroy6970]

Mgk did a mumble rap album named binge and have collars with mumble rappers so yes he did do mumble rap that makes I’m a mumble rapper,he also had a man bun,doesn’t matter why he had it,he was still rapping with a man bun lol,nobody knew who mgk was until he mentioned Eminem and to this day most ppl still don’t know 5 mgk songs so yes Eminem made him famous and destroyed his rap career hence why he doing punk rock,drinking blood and all type of weird shit,what hits did mgk have that the world knows about?stop capping outside of rap devil nobody knows any song from mgk,and Eminem do have more fans in Cleveland than mgk,that like saying lebron is bigger in Cleveland than Jordan😑stop it

[@fitzroy6970]

@@haraldsknopkens8401 Eminem has more fans than mgk n clevnd,keep in mind it’s mostly w ppl who even listens to mgk whereas Eminem has both white and black ppl as fans even Asians,so how would mgk have more fans anywhere than ‘em?mgk fans just talking for talking sake

[@kerimccabe2931]

Does a diss track have to be 100% accurate? I am pretty sure that Rap of any kind is full of metaphors. Mgk set himself up for everything that Eminem said back to him.

[@jessicarichter6436]

I love how you didn’t talk about the heaps of misinformation in mgks diss just ems when they both made petty insults but Em showed him how it’s done 😂

[@adamedwards3167]

Hey Knox, love the video, just one thing, with the line “the day you put out a hit is the day Diddy admits he put the hit out that got pac killed” is Em saying that MGK will never put out a hit, because diddy didn’t kill Pac
