Aesop Rock!!!!!!

[@brian_db]

Street Talkin- Slick Rick and Outkast

[@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

[@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?

[@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

[@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 😊

[@leorodman6532]

“Everything that shine ain’t fish scale do t let her faint get Ishmael” it’s referencing the book Moby Dick.

[@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.

[@Fleezy81]

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

[@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.

[@_mtndew]

wow i needa see more MF DOOM reactions madvillainy so 🔥

[@itsakellyy]

rework the title please, don't forget ALL CAPS when you spell the man name

[@xDrawingDead]

❤

[@xDrawingDead]

The correction is necessary

[@brickmotionpictures1]

He did it!

[@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.

[@donalucino7401]

This performer is legendary, no matter what persona he is using, his everything is fire. please break down more of his work. I recomend Viktor Vaughn-Spittle or DangerDoom-Vats of Urine

[@jrblackout905]

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

[@tank_girlmotoko9193]

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

[@riverside341]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@chill180]

Finally Doom

[@Aizen343]

MF DOOM is the second best rapper in history for me. He got it all and shows. R.I.P. master

[@billleiker5314]

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

[@jrenfalkpedersen8886]

Not a rapper dead or alive can touch the pengame of MF DOOM

[@totallynormalcivilian]

been asking for a doom reaction for ages. finally.

[@Cynthiabecker24]

Great start to throwback. Stoopid❤

[@SoullessGingersnaps]

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

[@seanmoran1940]

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

[@DankaDoctor185]

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

[@DeadlyScramjet]

MF DOOM! ❤miss this legend

[@1JorgeLMendoza]

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

[@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!!

[@chadbailey7038]

What I LIKE about DOOM is his flow is so erratic , yet beautiful. It’s puts you off at 1st. Then becomes addicting!! The way he rides a beat and all his hidden messages and call backs to growing up as a kid in the 80s and 90s. To the point where modern flows are Boring to me and this is the difficult, expert-level stuff.

[@satoristeve]

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

[@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

[@abrazor]

One of the most brilliant hip hop albums ever.

[@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

[@TheJerbol]

Important to know carrying on, DOOM died on Halloween...

[@labtechtech]

Micheal Jordan is the MF DOOM of basketball.

[@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]

[@The-X-Territory]

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

[@DorianMenard]

You forgot lupe

[@The-X-Territory]

@@DorianMenard, he’s reacted to Lupe.

[@SykoNerd]

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

[@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.

[@brian_db]

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

[@joemommapapapete4824]

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

[@N8D0GRealLife]

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

[@sebby-d6124]

🔥 MF DOOM - a 🇬🇧🐐 (RIP🙏)

[@blinkersgaming]

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

[@abakaro]

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

[@machineoutlivestheman1192]

The day we’ve all been waiting for!!!

[@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 😂

[@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

[@andrewskidmore9955]

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

[@env0x]

big ups bro. one of the greatest albums of all time.

[@jesterboon5876]

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

[@normal-potato05]

Pls do *Operation Doomsday* More from the Supervillain

[@FadeRunner415]

“My momma told me, blasphemy, pass her a glass of OE”

[@riddim07]

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

[@K3andK4]

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

[@dynamic9016]

Really appreciate this video..

[@magshype]

Doom in my honest opinion is the best to ever put ink to a pad.

[@gintoki_sakata__]

Lupe

@@gintoki_sakata__ lol

[@seanoreilly3905]

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

[@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

[@JohnDoe-t1r9p]

You realize that he has song with Crooked, right?

[@zechariahlapier6836]

@@JohnDoe-t1r9pI didn’t, I’ll check it out. Thanks!

[@keza1402]

Need more MF DOOM

[@86Morroco]

One of the greatest mc ever

[@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!

[@BooneOutdoors208]

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

[@atomsk1219]

Yoooo MF DOOM!! Deep fried friendz is a fav personally but ya can't go wrong with any of his stuff

[@muckiemarfe2782]

EM and DOOM is my Yin Yang top 1 tier rapper!

[@Tarnished800]

[@fabolousjada5070]

[@DarrenTheDead]

I still think is weird his wife didn’t tell the world that he passed for many months.

[@jimstebbins8273]

Talk about multiple personalities the man rapped under MF DOOM, Metal Face, Mad Villain, Danger DOOM, Deltron 3030 and others

[@DarrenTheDead]

Del is 51 and not dead. Thank god.

[@MDMARAMPAGEUK]

Viktor Vaughn is also Doom. Vaudeville Villian is a sick album.

[@mylesh4406]

Love this. For the culture

[@AlanEvans23]

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

[@ThisisStephennn]

Arguably the greatest hip hop album of all time. Masterpiece type ish

[@briangarnreiter4854]

Knox! Great Breakdowns, Music, and Vibe. I enjoy your stuff. I think you should really treat yourself to some fun music. Artist: MC Chris Album: MC Chris is dead Song: Neville, Emo Party, Smackababy - Album: MC Chris gores to hell Song: Reese, Pizza Butt, Hoodie Ninja Artist: Flight of the Conchords Song: hiphopopotamus vs. rhymenoceros HBO Special (live) Keep up the good stuff..

[@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

[@loui3t062]

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

[@lprxmisel8596]

Pleeease more mf doom, dude was a genius in rap

[@RemedyOfOverwrought]

Honestly you gotta Be smart to listen to MFDOOM even eminem talked about hiw hes amazing

[@excelexe9421]

Hey man I know your caught up rn with drake and Kendrick but you should checkout convexed, for a vid or just to listen. One of the all time greatest hip hop albums feels like a time capsule of the early 2000s

[@danielvincent2815]

For the love of God do a Aesop Rock track!

[@fomomofo6917]

Can’t stand still also refers to hot sand.

[@rexisdead5986]

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

[@kamalpreetsandhu]

Bro if u breakdown thats that ill bow down to u

[@joserosas5952]

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

[@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!

[@irie3yed]

Try ‘Belize’ black thought ft DOOM

[@MESTRE_NM]

I love MF DOOM RIP

[@MrDekasOne]

Didn't think id see you do DOOM since ive seen you wearing clothing like your shirt before

[@BABYMONSTER_RORA_RAMI_AHYEON]
