[@Blaximus-Maximus]

Fr. This may sound weird but he's the only white dude I RESPECT doing these breakdowns He doesn't talk about what he doesn't know and stays respectful. His music is good too. He is a MOST respectful guest.

[@PrinceThunderEntertainment]

...and he doesn't boast about it, No need to shout that he's the best..

This is my new affirmation song. This is the song that is my meditation and prayer points.

I've been manifesting to the second part of 6:16 in LA and I was so elated when I heard Man in the garden I've been listening to it on repeat since it dropped 🙌🏽

[@TriciaandDem]

Same!

Definitely a affirmation song because I cried so hard each time he said I deserve it all cause it hits me hard every time he says it 😢🪬🙏💜✨️☯️🧿

[@artarealmblazer]

Yup. I wonder if anyone has asked J Cole about this yet

[@adub92199]

I caught that too

[@ddl3718]

@@artarealmblazer 100% it was his peoples that were telling him to about kendrick's original shot.

[@thecjbrowne]

this album has so many hits its actually unreal

[@Jon155mt]

And a certain fanbase REALLY TRIED to play this man like he couldn’t make hits if he wanted to 😂😂😂 You can tell it comes so easy to him. He just doesn’t usually prioritize trying to make a “banger” song over making songs with actual substance and depth. This album is clearly his way of showing the world, “don’t get it twisted.” He’s obviously trying to prove a point here. Let this be a lesson: Just because you choose not to do something, doesn’t mean you can’t.

[@Man_eee]

​@@Jon155mt And I prefer when he doesn't make hits or mainstream music so this album won't get replay value from me but you can't please everyone.

[@Jon155mt]

@@Man_eee I love this album. It’s his 3rd best project to me, but yea you can’t please everyone.

[@Man_eee]

@@Jon155mt I like several songs including this song But like I mentioned not a fan of him dumbing down his lyrical abilities or content to please the masses. It's too early to rank or compare to his catalog but we'll see with time

[@Jon155mt]

@@Man_eee Yeah I understand where you’re coming from. I love his deeper stuff too. Everyone has their own preferences.

[@TheGeekDive]

This one just made me so emotional. Kendrick said it, “forget the double entendres, I need you to FEEL this” boy did I feel this

[@dvs_musik]

maybe he’s referencing FEEL- off the DAMN album..

I’m 36. I listened to Nas - One Mic over and over and over when it came out for a month. It was one of those songs that made you feel whatever you needed to feel in the moment.

[@angieh.3376]

Facts... One Mic is my favorite Nas' song

[@daguywhoknowz2638]

[@MsJae-md3ep]

I must admit, I watch a lot of your breakdowns but not everything. I’ve NEVER seen you get up and walk away to gather yourself!! This the one!!

[@luvadougla]

Only the second time in history, first was realizing breezy could rap rap when he destroyed quavo

[@Docmatema]

I've watched most and he never gets up 😂😂😂 a few days ago he almost did but he didn't want to miss the bars. Man at the garden is goated 🔥🔥

[@MsJae-md3ep]

@ that was epic though!!!

[@charlottebanks7903]

One other time: Em's Did He line on Fuel.

[@masiganworks2356]

I said same thing 🔥🔥

[@uascott]

Knox is crazy wild at catching shit. 5 secs in he's he's only 1 I have seen that catches the one mic similarities

[@1161ofmany]

Damn who you watching??

[@SKLZWL]

I love it. Even when he gets it wrong. Especially when he does bcuz he's not scared to just say what he thinks is happening. Dope ASF to see the breakdown in real time🔥

[@LovinJah85]

Been watching reactions for the past four hours and Knox only one caught it that I’ve seen so far ❤

[@mphonkd1102]

Love that he sampled One Mic saying he deserves it all after mentioning that Nas was the only one who congratulated him for the Superbowl. Dope way to say thank you. ❤️🔥

[@helenabriner-ellis3526]

I've watched a bunch of reactions to this song and you're the first one to catch the Nas - "One Mic" sample. I have been yelling at my screen because I caught it on first listen too. Thank you for being so on game! I'm really loving all your reactions to this album @KnoxHill - I hope you do every track.

[@KnoxHill]

Working my way through it! More to come today 🙏

[@CoreyOnWrestling]

He is truly the best it’s not even close! I was the same way like how do you not catch one mic??? I love no life shaq but I was sad he didn’t catch that. No one can touch Knox on breaking down rap he is definitely a student of the game.

I just listened to One Mic for the first time (i know i know) and I've been sleeping on nas i seen and heard so many similarities between Nas's style and kendrick i definitely see the influence Nas has on him.

The end of that last verse felt like he just left Earth. I literally get goosebumps every time I hear that part. Kendrick is such a GOAT 😮‍💨🔥

[@lakareberries]

For real tho! ❤ this song!

[@DangSensei77]

“Why you think you deserve the GREATEST OF ALL TIME MF?”

[@preciouspayne5618]

It's also a Phil Collins beat. Which is where Nas sampled it from. Done beautifully by all parties❤❤❤❤

[@Whiskey_Tengu]

Don't forget Pac also sampled it on "Starring through my Rearview"

[@Josh-nj6rg]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@Whiskey_Tenguglad you guys caught this. I instantly heard “In the air tonight” by Phil Collins. Forgot about the other 2 that were mentioned. DMX also sampled. When great recognize great and it’s authentic…the shit goes hard!

[@BlackNella]

That blood spilling line felt like it could be a response to that J. Cole bar in Port Antonio about his friends going to war and the blood getting all on him.

[@kamallamccain2699]

This album was Kendrick giving the ppl what they want. Dance tracks and more simplified lyrics. I heard it and totally thought it gave me mixed tape vibes. Kendrick also said F the double entendres I’m speaking directly.

[@centerloper]

Yeah I think if he went for another literary masterpiece like TPAB we wouldnt get an album for a couple more years. Im glad he did this, though reincarnated is one of the most beautifully written rap songs ive ever heard.

Agree but I would also put Sufjan Stevens on that list, especially with Carrie & Lowell.

[@ioansamyris8637]

I'd pay cash money to see Knox speak with Kendrick in person, haha. That would be an amazing interaction.

[@cjo4211]

But wait…. There’s more! Nas sampled this from Phil Collin’s In The Air Tonight (1981) A song that all Gen X’rs (GNX) grew up knowing. Also, Pac and the Outlaws “Starin Through My Rear View” sampled “In The Air Tonight.”

[@IAmStillDee]

I heard that Phil Collin’s vibe.

[@A4bcreative]

I caught the Phil Colllins and my wife caught one mic. 😅

Imdonti doing the beat break down from Tarzan when they were trashing the camp 😅 at the intro. 😂

[@GingerNut_]

Great fact - one thing though - gnx isn't about gen x, Kenny was born in 1987.. the same year the Buick Grand national gnx came out... This is Kenny's "six four"... His dad had one when he was born and was driven home from the hospital in one!

[@DrkPhoenix]

​@@NoName-sh5xe fng

[@HomingBudgie]

Kendrick has previously called back to “money, power, respect” as a reference to Nipsey. This permutation is money power and freedom. He drops the respect part for something empowering and independent.

[@Nefertiti_Naya]

Wow. I love that take ! Who needs your respect when I have my freedom 💯

[@awene4675]

Money, Power, Respect is a reference to L.O.X.

True man,sometimes even if it's not your cup of tea,it takes a big person to give credit where credit is due. Props to you🎉

[@DanGeezyPresents]

Everyone hears one mic. I hear one mic AND staring at the world through my rear view

[@BesquaredFilms4k]

Correct

[@DrkPhoenix]

Apparently Nas and Pac sampled Phil Collins in the air tonight

[@princecalypse9609]

Such a sh*t time to be on the other side. Since Hiiipower, so good to see he stayed true and has genuinely grown, because Dot and Soul definitely influenced me to rise. Dead ass a better man because of the nuggets in their music.

[@teddymthembu123]

Same here. Since the beef I’ve noticed the difference between Kdot fans and Drake fans.

[@linwoodstokes9389]

He “deserves it all” 🔥🔥🔥

[@lakareberries]

AMEN!!!!!❤

[@tefweebz]

This is my favorite track on an really well-produced and overall excellent body of work. I cannot believe anyone ever thought that battle was a well-matched battle. Someone with spiritual substance and clarity will always make a better than someone with no substance, morals, or sense of self.

[@alexhndr]

I think this is the first time Knox "NoLifeShaq'ed" on Kendrick And its by the *S A M P L E* Kendrick used. This album.. pure *H E A T E R*

[@yamafz6r]

I'm already subbed, best bar breakdowns in the game

[@LeGeNdSlAyEr2234]

Best song on the album I'm my opinion. Cant stop replaying it

[@truballr32]

He does deserve it all !!! Even the superbowl!!!! Waking up at 6am running 6 miles conditioning his wind that’s how he was able to perform not like us 5 times in a row with no back track all vocals . While Wayne is drinking lean and smoking trees sounding like smeagle from lord of the rings but thinks he’s automatically qualified to get that spot mannnnnn Wayne stop 🛑 just congratulate this brother and stop playa hating. The irony man Kendrick let you down because he worked hard and j Cole let Nas Down for falling off. This instrumental was no coincidence let’s go Knox I fuck with these breakdowns man !!!!! Bravo bro bravo keep going man

[@adamajobe7337]

Not smeagle from lord of the rings😂😂😂 I’m screaming

[@abdullahjubair68]

You know the song is heavy if Knox hill got to stand up and have a walk.

[@ganmahupizzy2293]

For sure

[@ladislaugomes7447]

On the last verse, Kendrick gives that crescendo just like 1 Mic 🎤. And he also mentions I gave you power on the last track.

[@JahsLuv]

YOU DESERVE IT ALL DOT!

[@DaishaGomillion]

I got chills when I heard this interpolation! "One Mic" is my favorite Nas song and this interpolation gives me the same feels. 🥰🥰

[@salterpath67]

Love my boy knox.his reaction are so genuine. You can tell you truly loves hip hop. This is why you’re the best reaction channel on KZbin. Keep doing your thing my dude!

[@victoreleanya4375]

Been bumping this for a while now

[@elizabethrodriquez14]

1:41 You know its a Banger when Knox gets up outta his chair and no bars have even dropped yet!! 💪🏼🔥😁

[@Malaya880]

I heard it too, the first time I heard those dry beats with that specific tempo and that end beat click. What a salute to NAS. My fave NAS song. Kendrick, love your artistry…tears, emotions, pain, truth that no one wants to admit - yes, you deserve it all. Love your channel and your reviews Knox - they are mad intelligent, you pay attention to the greatest details - so amazing. You are obvs a sound engineer…great ear.

[@dsss3161]

"What do you do when you get up, like, what are you supposed to do?" - Welcome to our yesterday

i waas thinking this songg definitely gives off a Nas_One Mic vibe... the instrumental definitely

[@HeatherBenedix-y6r]

He’s definitely put in the work 😘

[@Slumericannandit83]

There's breakdowns and there's Knox breakdowns You are remarkable at what you do You make me appreciate music more 🫡👌🏻🫶🏻

[@MelodicChef]

Kendrick really is genius. He knows people need those words. He knows how powerful words are for us all. A lot of us arent aware of exactly how much power the words we say aloud and let our consciousness hear us utter effects us. The words we utter in belief can power our lives.

[@MrGrugsy]

I said at the start of the summer that Kendricks next album was gonna either be his All Eyes On Me or his Don Killuminati.... I think I may have been right on both.

[@phillip6868]

This one is the Makaveli. Next one gonna be All Eyes on Me.

[@GOATDOG]

This is definitely my favorite song on GNX it's so different than anything else that we have heard since one mic.

[@bbnice7293]

Nice Catch 💯Nas 🐐🔥

[@GeminiGamer_]

That moment you clarify it’s “one Mic” is priceless 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@erlilun91]

this is the clean version, insane breakdown as always.

[@tashajackson2373]

On me Knox do the best reactions hands down and the break downs are EVERYTHING!!!! I always wait on Knox to drop first because it's the only way I can watch other reactions 😂 Knox and the video you showed on this reaction Bro its 🔥🔥🔥 sending you blessings 🙏💙 and please keep being great 🎯💯🔥👏👏

The GOAT PERIOD! More blood be spillin it's just paint to me... whoaaa Dot❤❤

[@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiet]

This track was my first listen favorite

[@daggerncloak7428]

This is my favorite one on the album

[@d1theartist]

I'll take the leap and say the line about his ancestors is a call back to Nas Hero, "We need more warriors soon..."

[@ladislaugomes7447]

That line is from 1 mic, not Hero.

[@d1theartist]

@ladislaugomes7447 Truth!

[@azoreysaint9636]

Oh yeah, great catch on that

[@Capo4sgn]

Twice this year I’ve seen you take off the headphones and walk away for a second. 1st with Em and now with Dot. Great year for hip hop imho. Keep up the good work Knox!

[@Infinite_Unity.]

My favorite song! Kendrick is really raising the consciousness with this Art! We need more of this💜🙌🏾

[@Therealmrq]

Facts!!! Kendrick totally gave 2Pac “Troublesome “ vibes in that track

[@RedVelvet714]

Lol me too @ maxbrooks8657 me too 😅 And ‘Reincarnated’

THIS SONG IS INSANE

[@markasof]

Dude! You have really opened my eyes to so many things. Appreciate your wisdom and sense of culture.

[@COLLINSSAKALA-jq5ze]

Thought I was the only one who noticed! "Man at the Garden" beat sounds like a toned-down version of Nas' "One Mic" 🔥. Kendrick's creativity is unmatched. He and his engineers really understand each other on another level. This track is one of the best on the album, right after "Gloria" and "Reincarnated"

[@_altoarcadevere]

this is my fave track in the entire new album, something about it made me feel encouraged to grind for more

[@ThatGuy5591]

i have watched a lot of reactions to this track. you are the only one so far to get that this is homage to NAS - One Mic. crazy. much respect.

Music to my ears is the part "so today... TODAY..." in every single video love you man

[@niecyxTM]

Knox you are literally my favorite! God Bless You!

[@aliciad8553]

2024 continues to surprise... I never thought we'd get a Kendrick 'One Mic' homage that was produced by Jack Antonoff. Jack was a producer on every song on GNX except 'Peekaboo.'

[@LynLvs2Laugh]

Anyone serious about mastering their craft absorbs and studies the masters and standards before them. Every Kendrick project proves that he did…He absorbed, learned, evolved, and exceeded, then found himself.

[@flea6830]

You are the best KH. ❤️ This song brought tears to my eyes

[@edwardcooper437]

Man, it's crazy I haven't heard one mic in years, but as soon as the beat started, i immediately heard one mic. A great beat choice for Ken. It gave me goosebumps just like hearing one mic for the first time. 👏
