Street Talkin- Slick Rick and Outkast

[@literalcrap]

MF DOOM is your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper

[@Provker]

Literally copy pasted a video title in here, cmon man you can do better :(

[@lewisharvey9109]

​@influtionog9472 you do realise more than 1 person can think of the same thing, not everything you see is copy and pasted.

[@Provker]

@@lewisharvey9109 you sound like you are reasoning with your uni professor

[@Butt--Head]

​@@lewisharvey9109he didn't though that phrase is all over KZbin especially MF Doom videos. rip MF Doom

[@lewisharvey9109]

@Butt--Head that phrase has been used for years talking about other people aswell , the point I was making was why care?

[@Provker]

As someone that doesn't natively speak English and loves MF DOOM, this is a blessing man, thank you Knox

[@ohhkennny766]

As someone who natively speaks English, I love the analysis because I also don't know wtf is going on.

[@snigelhund666]

Same goes for me, I'm pretty good at english but my ability to understand the metaphors is less developed, I love how analytic he gets, it really helps me appreciate them much more! 😊

[@lumberluga2004]

bro, same(i’m ukrainian, but i study in netherlands). Even after using english in every day life for past 3 years, i feel like im still way to far from comprehending his lyrics

[@Is.this.thing.on-]

The man in the mask. Miss him. Doom and Aesop Rock are tops on my list of MCs. Both very unique.

[@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiet]

Aesop Rock is the one that makes me feel the most at home. I just enjoy the imagery

[@losxdescabezados]

​@@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiethe's a MASTER lyricist - he throws some complex wordplay at you but is the most relatable dude ever.

[@TexasGreed]

My two favorite rappers

[@TheSonamuTree]

Bro forgot the first rule 💀

[@losxdescabezados]

@@TheSonamuTree ALL CAPS

[@SpiderJAAM]

Madvillainy is one of the greatest things my ears have ever heard, MF DOOM and Madlib did something truly incredible. (Also 12:01 please do an Aesop Rock breakdown in the future). P.s. For other DOOM songs maybe you could do All Caps, Rapp Snitch Knishes, Doomsday, or Acordeon.

[@MtnMedea]

KNOX MAN!!!! YOU CANT BELIEVE HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE THIS RECOMMENDED TO ME. I've been prayyyying that you cover some DOOM for forever. so glad you're diving into his stuff!

[@Whysssiee]

Annnd still so many bars gone by. Doom. Listen 500 times and still hear new things 😊

[@Fleezy81]

You're gonna have to do this WHOLE ALBUM!!!!

[@_mtndew]

wow i needa see more MF DOOM reactions madvillainy so 🔥

[@Tiny_Kami_2424]

Literally requested this to happen a few videos ago and it actually happened! MF DOOM is so amazing with the pen. Keep doing more songs of his. He’s an amazing MC !

[@Bobbias]

Man i remember stumbling on MF DOOM for the first time as King Geedorah. It was one of the Underground Hip-hop for Dummies mixes some guy put together on their blog, and I heard Fazers and immediately had to go listen to all of Take Me To Your Leader. Like one of the other posters here, DOOM and Aesop Rock are some of my all time favorites along with Del The Funky Homosapien. Rest in Peace DOOM.

[@tank_girlmotoko9193]

One of my favorite collab is the album Danger Doom with Danger Mouse and MF Doom

[@jrblackout905]

I’ve been so hyped to see you break down an MF DOOM song

[@etotheipi42]

Thanks for promoting great oldschool artists. Try KRS-One’s newest album’s first track “The Beginning” please. No ones influenced more GOATs than Tha Teacha.

[@emmanuelgabriel3738]

I never knew about MF Doom until now thanks Knox💯🤘

[@hawkeyedsentinel4648]

Check out his music bro, it honestly ruined my excitement for a lot of hip hop records I used to place at a very high standard. And the more I listened to DOOM, he completely changed how I view rap.

[@ItzWallyMan100]

Rest in peace one of the best rapper ever.

[@riverside341]

Was waiting for you to do MF Doom! Glad we finally got there!!

[@chill180]

Finally Doom

[@satoristeve]

Thanks for doing this Knox. Been waiting for this for a while.

[@TheGingerrain]

Bro, I appreciate your reactions. Yours are the most analytic and entertaining. Actually breaking down the bars. I hope Stevie Knight watched this to get tips. His DOOM reaction was a mess!!

[@SykoNerd]

Love the Throwback Thursdays return!! Can't wait! & This is rad! Luv ya Professor

[@brian_db]

Always enjoy your pauses. Means I am about to learn something. 👊🏻👏

[@abrazor]

One of the most brilliant hip hop albums ever.

[@SoullessGingersnaps]

I was today years old the first time I heard MF Doom, thank you for this reaction💚🤗🍀 cannot wait for your next drop!

[@Cynthiabecker24]

Great start to throwback. Stoopid❤

[@1JorgeLMendoza]

Bro, one of the best and elaborate breakdowns for the song and music in general.

[@billleiker5314]

I learn so much from watching your vids. Knox Hill is the Man!

[@blinkersgaming]

I learn something Everytime I watch an episode. Thanks Knox 👍

[@totallynormalcivilian]

been asking for a doom reaction for ages. finally.

[@DankaDoctor185]

Mf doom IS THE GOOAAATTTT. I'd love more mf doom breakdowns, his shit is so complex. Rip mf doom

[@seanmoran1940]

I’m so glad you did DOOM! He’s been my favorite MC for years and not enough people are talking about him

[@TheMasterBT]

Knox please I need more MF DOOM breakdowns, you catch so many nuances that I feel like I need you to fully appreciate DOOM's genius

[@joemommapapapete4824]

Good to see a reaction channel that's big give props to doom. Much respect for this

[@machineoutlivestheman1192]

The day we’ve all been waiting for!!!

[@KPITGangsta]

Listening to you break this down made me catch that background beat that was also used in that D12 song “Shit on You”, ha ha!

[@N8D0GRealLife]

PLS DO A FULL BREAKDOWN OF MADVILLAINY!!! WE NEED IT BADLY!!!!

[@The-X-Territory]

Since we’ve finally got DOOM, hopefully we got more alternative Rapper reactions. Aesop Rock, Danny Brown, JPEGMAFIA, Little Simz, etc.

[@BloodShootStar]

Everytime Doom comes in my playlist I have the urge to kiss my Doom ring, this man said and did so much for hip hop and for me while being in his metaphorical pijamas of life, on his own space.. it's insane how you can be talented to the point that your spoken word talks into you instead of talking to you. RIP Doom, I'll always remember how I found you at 12 by accident, props Knox for showing people talent is not about numbers nor fame, you a real one.

[@dynamic9016]

Really appreciate this video..

[@WarrenLeggatt]

Exploring all these different rappers and yet no love for the true goat that has been grinding for decades and improve to a true master... Aesop Rock

[@losxdescabezados]

🐐🐐🐐

[@talionstallion9917]

[@DrClawizdead]

I had another interpretation of the lines _Everything that glitters ain't fish scale/Lemme think don't let her faint get Ishmael_ I took it as a Moby Dick reference. _Everything that glitters ain't fish scale_ meaning pure cocaine and Moby Dick was a huge white whale/brick of cocaine. Also whales are mammals so they do not have scales which is the literal translation. Or it could mean everything that glitters isn't pure. Moby Dick was one of the first pieces of media to portray the color white as evil (the good guys always wore white hats etc.) _Lemme think, don't let her faint, get Ishmael"_ After Ahab finally killed Moby Dick, Ishmael was the only one of the crew to survive.

[@mylesh4406]

Love this. For the culture

[@abakaro]

Brutal man! Please do more MF DOOM something like ''space hos'' or ''sofa king remix''' amazing songs.

[@labtechtech]

Micheal Jordan is the MF DOOM of basketball.

[@FrancheskaAraya]

I love your channel and the level of musical analysis and without prejudices that you do, I would love it if you could react to the MMA 2019 BTS, it is impressive, goodbye from Chile

[@AlanEvans23]

I was wondering when you was gonna get to doom great breakdown knox

[@andrewskidmore9955]

Great reaction Knox as always.But all i could think through this video was"I want that doom sweatshirt that knox is wearing"😂

[@riddim07]

Got a sub from me the way you break bars down reminds me of myself showing people a song 😂

[@sebby-d6124]

🔥 MF DOOM - a 🇬🇧🐐 (RIP🙏)

[@jesterboon5876]

Love Doom since KMD...made me understand Hip Hop the way it should be...sad we lost both brothers!

[@K3andK4]

Knox jumped up to a mil subs recently. I didn't even notice

[@erebus890]

You need to react to Aesop Rock. Though I think it will be a 2 hour breakdown.

[@losxdescabezados]

Anything off of Bazooka Tooth or earlier will guarantee that 😂

[@Tarnished800]

one of my all time FAV MF Doom there are not a lot of reations to his Music as a Fan to be honest i am Glad there is not i love him soo much that i dont want other ppl to find him and his music i know that is selfish but thats how rare he is, i hope you do him justice Knox Hill in upcoming reactions too he deserve it.

[@rexisdead5986]

This was a awesome reaction! I would love to see you react to more Yungblud songs like Lowlife and Hated!

[@normal-potato05]

Pls do *Operation Doomsday* More from the Supervillain

[@BooneOutdoors208]

You gotta be a master to breakdown Doom! Shout out to Knox a true black belt

[@shawnisgreat6766]

Knox! Just found your channel from a video 11 months ago and checked out your music, I'm not an artist but as a listener i loved your song survivor and i think the other songs i listened to are a bit too aggresive and raspy (your voice). Was just from a listeners pov I think you should try a song similar to survivor again and I have no doubt it'd be sick!

[@zechariahlapier6836]

Love it. You should do some more amazing underrated artists. Pharoah Monche(or Organized Konfusion altogether), Talib Kweli, Crooked I and Blackalicious would all be dope. All lyrical monsters that don’t get enough love

[@user-gg1dj1jo2m]

You realize that he has song with Crooked, right?

[@zechariahlapier6836]

@@user-gg1dj1jo2mI didn’t, I’ll check it out. Thanks!

MF doom is one of the greatest

[@loui3t062]

doom honestly the best lyricist would LOVE to hear your reaction to meat grinder or saliva

[@gggoldman1]

Living legends, Atmosphere, Del, Blackalicious, Sage Francis, Eyedea & abilities, Zion I and so on

[@KrAOLo]

Well blackalicious isn't alive anymore sadly. RIP Gift of Gab

[@joserosas5952]

Checkout Czarface if you haven't. I believe it is Doom and Inspectah Deck...

[@starronin4580]

DangerDoom...bro...Dangerdoom. for all my fellow nerds out there

[@Phished123]

DOOM uses so many double-meanings its insane, for example, something you didnt touch on with the "start shit-stoppa/ be a smart shoppa" line is that its probably meant as a double meaning. Saying to the rappers that like to start shit, to be a "smart shopper"(IE: look somewher else to start shit) because he's a "start shit-stopper". Also, another point to the Anita Baker line, DOOM has sampled Anita Baker, specifically on the track HOE CAKES, which just adds another little spinkle of seasoning to "Patty Cake/Anita Baker" thing.

[@WidgetWagyu47292]

HOLY SHIT HES SOO GOOD 😢 I MISS HIM RIP MF DOOM

[@seanoreilly3905]

Not sure who doesn't now MF Doom and Aesop but i run in small circles
