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

[@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 😊

[@leorodman6532]

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

[@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 🔥

[@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.

[@tank_girlmotoko9193]

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

[@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.

[@labtechtech]

Micheal Jordan is the MF DOOM of basketball.

[@jrblackout905]

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

[@riverside341]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@satoristeve]

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

[@seanmoran1940]

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

[@SykoNerd]

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

[@chill180]

Finally Doom

[@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.

[@abrazor]

One of the most brilliant hip hop albums ever.

[@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!

[@billleiker5314]

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

[@1JorgeLMendoza]

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

[@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!

[@DankaDoctor185]

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

[@abakaro]

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

[@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

[@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

[@brian_db]

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

[@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]

[@Aizen343]

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

[@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.

[@funkyfresh2259]

MF DOOM is the definition that there's always someone better than you

[@machineoutlivestheman1192]

The day we’ve all been waiting for!!!

[@cantripleplays]

I think "its stronger in the other voice" might refer to the leak of the album that happened beforehand where he had a different tone to his rapping

[@jrenfalkpedersen8886]

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

[@sebby-d6124]

🔥 MF DOOM - a 🇬🇧🐐 (RIP🙏)

[@blinkersgaming]

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

[@N8D0GRealLife]

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

[@jesterboon5876]

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

[@ddl3718]

I still think it’s crazy that Thom Yorke (Radiohead) and Drake were more og to DOOM than 90% of people (and rappers)

[@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..

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@atomsk1219]

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

[@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!

[@The-X-Territory]

I requested All Caps, but hey it’s about god damn time you got to DOOM.

[@DeadlyScramjet]

MF DOOM! ❤miss this legend

[@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

[@normal-potato05]

Pls do *Operation Doomsday* More from the Supervillain

[@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.

[@robertdunham2372]

MF doom is one of the greatest

[@dynamic9016]

Really appreciate this video..

[@Bot123abc]

Rest in peace one of the best rapper ever.

[@ThisisStephennn]

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

[@loui3t062]

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

[@BooneOutdoors208]

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

[@Broker_asic]

Been looking for a vid like this most underated rapper ever

[@riddim07]

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

[@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 😂

[@K3andK4]

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

[@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

[@akihallakumpu2701]

The rest is empty with no brain but the clever nerd The best emcee with no chain ya ever heard Take it from the Tec-9 holder Dead bent, but don't know their neck shine from Shinola Everything that glitters ain't fish scale Let me think, don't let her faint get Ishmael A shot of Jack got her back, it's not an act stack Forgot about the cackalack, holla back, clack- clack-blocka Villainy, feel him in ya heart chakra chart toppa Start shit stoppa be a smart shoppa Shot a cop day around the way 'bout to stay But who'd a know there's two mo' that wonder where the shooter go 'Bout to jet, get him, not a bet, dead 'em Let 'em spit venom said 'em got a lot of shit with 'em Let the rhythm hit 'em, it's stronger in the other voice We make the joints, that make 'em spread 'em butter moist Man, please, the stage is made of panties From the age of baby hoochies, on to the grannies Hand me the dough rake, daddy The flow make her fatty shake, patty cake, patty cake For fake, if he was, Anita Baker's man He'd take her for her masters, hit it once and shake her hand On some ol' thank ya ma'am an' ghost her She could mind the toaster if she sign the poster A whole host of roller coaster riders Not enough tracks (is it?) Hot enuff black (for ya) It's too hot to handle, you got blue sandals Who shot ya? Ooh, got you new spots to vandal? Do not stand still, boast show skills Close but no crills, toast for po' ills, post no bills Coast to coast, Joe Shmoes flows ill, go chill Not supposed to overdose, No-dose pills Off pride tikes now talk wide though scar meat Off sides like how Worf rides with Starfleet Told ya, on some get-rich shit As he get older, he gets colder than a witch tit This is it, make no mistakes Where my nigga go? Figaro, Figaro All these beats and my rhymes attack A scary act All black like, Miss Mary Mack Wait 'til you see 'em live on the piano Doom sings soprano like uno dos y'ano My momma told me Blast him and pass her her glass of Ol' E Not to be troublesome But I could sure use a quick shot of double rum No stick of bubble gum I like ice cream We could skip the wedding Have a nice dream She only let him stick the head in

[@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!

[@runsett]

aaaa rest in peace to the one and only MF DOOM!!!!!
