If you guys liked the song in the intro check it out here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGOphKSvjLd_sMU Also, apologies my camera died 2/3 of the way through - didn’t realise and had to go back and grab the end, had a total breakdown anyways lol. What else you guys want me to react to? Comment below!👇👇

I've listened to whole album multiple times. Still can't get enough of it

should definitely try step dad intro and the step dad song on the album. definitely some powerful lines in that song

[@summerlacey2109]

Knox Hill thank you so much for doing my request 😭😭😫😁😁

[@gregguluzian]

Listen Knox, I’ve listened to so many people break down lyrics and they all do a good job. But you break these down to literal atoms. You need to know a lot about to culture of hip hop and just general life to catch a lot of these lyrics, and to piece them together is an amazing feat. I can smell insane talent from you and I hope you continue to grow as a content creator, artist and person man. So much more I want to say but I need to save these fingers for Quarantine homework. Keep doing your thing man, I’m subbing right now.

[@vernonboudreaux83]

I say the same thing no one on u tube breaks it down like Knox hill

[@imcaapz4450]

Great komment 👍

[@SebYukio]

Well said @Greg Guluzian. I bought the album and fell in love with it, but then I discovered Knox and his breakdowns and oh man, I had no idea how deep the lyrics were. I'm so glad that I can now fully appreciate the depths of each song and understand what he is actually talking about. Man Knox, thank you so much for your work and your pure emotions, knowledge, and honesty. I'm also looking forward to hearing more of your original tracks. Be safe, much love x.

[@CarlosGarcia-xg4cr]

I sincerely believe that Music To Be Murdered By is a masterpiece. We are experiencing firsthand Eminem/Slim Shady's evolution as an amazing lyrical choreographer. Knox Hill..bro.. you've definitely been putting the cherry on top of these songs. You catch things that no one else does and you feel the song. I appreciate you so much for that, man. You gives these bars their intended understanding. Thank you. Also, you only got No Regrets left. That song is absolutely beautiful, inspiring and emotional. Great stuff as always, and looking forward VERY MUCH to that reaction.

[@budgee74gee96]

I mean, I've been trying to find people who break down his songs in a way that can be easily understood and wow you do a real good job. Even if english isnt my first language, natives miss so many bars, let alone people like me! Thank you for loving Em as much as I do and helping me understand his work better!

Thanks and respect from Poland. Your work helps a lot especially with Eminem 😮you know what i mean.

[@christianfuentes7675]

Quentin Verra if you want to really appreciate the masterful and meticulous detail that Eminem puts into his craft, you need to look up the rhyme scheme lyric videos...it shows the words and syllables that rhyme in different colors, i recommend Eminem - Stay Wide Awake or Yelawolf ft. Eminem - Best Friend as the first one you should look up...like everything in those songs rhyme lol it’s INSANE and mindbogglingly incredible to see how close to perfect he truly is...Best Friend is as close to a perfect verse as i’ve ever heard..I hope this helps you appreciate him more as well! stay safe🙃

[@quentinverra853]

@@christianfuentes7675 I have done that already! I have been looking Em rhyme scheme as well and I also very much agree with what you said, Best Friend is absolutely nasty! So so good! Glad you enjoy the song as much as I do! Cheers!

[@chaitanyakhot3842]

13:33 And the craziest part is he didn't even say Adam and Eve. The original lyrics is - "My god, what a heart of a demon, go at 'em and I'ma get even Like I'm in the Garden of Eden, I'm 'bout to go off of the deep end" What a great double. This is genius lyricism man...

[@dramuckus]

He also mentions his dad in headlights

[@garrettprice1231]

I don’t think it was a Macklemore diss but more of a defense statement. I believe someone high up asked why he can’t be like Macklemore like he mentioned in the Chloraseptic remix, meaning his lyrics are much cleaner than Eminem’s. He’s defending himself saying Macklemore’s childhood reflects his lyrics while Eminem’s much rougher childhood reflects his. Eminem has said in interviews that Macklemore’s music is dope.

[@brandonmiller8351]

Eminem had said he spends all day Saturdays watching up and coming rappers and reaction videos, I'm really hoping he finds out about your breakdowns. 💯💯

[@Shadow4576N7]

“Let em all line up in the tack, single filing up in the stack, call em toy soldiers...” is also a triple, relating to combat. A tac, or a tactical center where you form up before patrol. Single file up in the stack, before breaching a door you line up single file in what is commonly called a stack. And then the comparison line on TOY soldiers, that makes it focus to being a kid.

[@Virpukka]

I watched old interview that Andersson did with him when he came back after that od to big stages. Andersson asked from him if he would want to meet his dad after all this time. He ended up saying no, because he didn't understand how he could walk out from his life like he did. If his own daughers would disappear he would go to the end of the world to find them so he doesn't really see any excuses for not doing that. I can understand where he comes from quite a lot since while I had my dad around, emotionally he walked out from my life pretty early so this song hit me also quite hard. (And it sucks especially when you have to younger siblings that are in different postion when it comes to him) It is though one of my favourites from the album. Thank you for doing this. I had waited you to do this so thumbs up for finally getting it. :)

I wrote my own verse to this when the album first came out based on some things that I was dealing with. Leaving Heaven Remix verse: Will you MOURN WHEN I'M DEAD? Or place a crown of THORNS ON MY HEAD? You can cry me a river of tears but no MORE THAN I'VE SHED. I was BORN WITH THIS DEBT, my soul is TORTURED AND YET you show no REMORSE OR RESPECT, not even a PORTION OF IT. You gave me a robe fit for a king, I WORE IT TO BED but the next MORNING INSTEAD you TORE IT TO SHREDS. I'm tryna see the bigger picture but the PORTRAIT IS RIPPED. I've gone to WAR WITH MY PEN, wrestled back and FORTH WITH REGRET but no MORE WITH THIS SHIT, my MORALS ARE SET. There's no MORE TO REPENT. No more turMOIL I'VE SPENT too much time being so LOYAL I GUESS I couldn't even see how unloyal you been. But this is where my new STORY BEGINS. If this is eternity I'd rather be a MORTAL AGAIN so RESTORE ALL MY SINS and place the HORNS ON MY HEAD because. I'm leaving heaven...

Skylar did an incredible job producing this amazing song. I am so drawn to that hook; it's mesmerizing. And I agree with you, we needed more of that. "Where the fuck you were at when De'Angelo done hurt me real bad?", man that part gets me every time. Em's voice is fill with all sorts of emotions just in that single line. Thanks again for dissecting this song, you're the best at it. It needs to be praised more. Take care and I hope you're doing well in these weird circumstances.

Take it in how he gave it to us. You are on another level my friend..you will hit 100k in no time! I’m gunna keep sharing your videos because in a time when mumble rap exists we need people like you who can be the bridge for ordinary people to understand and truly appreciate the real lyricist.. I’m thankful as hell that you enjoy doing this, because it’s honestly therapeutic to hear someone else who understands all the intricate and meticulous brilliance that is real word play... so Thank you man. 💯🙃 stay safe, stay brilliant, and stay golden pony boy? idk it’s like 4 a.m 😂 how about stay you?👌🏼🙏🏼

I grew up never meeting my father I'm in my thirties and never had a Christmas card everyone knows that date but I know he wouldn't of knew my birthday. I have always picked the wrong guys growing up because I have always had that feeling if I wasn't good enough for my own dad I would always pick the bad ones brought out my insecurities and I'm single because of trust issues

[@samwise7104]

I'm fortunate enough to have grown up with both parents who are always there for me. My grandfather on my mom's side left my mom and grandmother before my mom was even born. My grandmother had to raise my mom by herself in a sketchy area of Portland, Oregon. I've seen the area she grew up in, and while it's not total ghetto, it's close to it. My mom grew up never hearing her father's voice, never even being acknowledged by him, until she was in her late twenties, when out of the blue he up and called her ON HER BIRTHDAY to talk to her for god knows what reason. My dad almost didn't let him, and my mom almost refused, but in the end she actually picked up the phone. I'm told she didn't have much to say to him. After that, she never heard from him again, and he passed away around a decade ago. I'm in my early twenties, and I love my mom to death and couldn't imagine growing up without her. To this day I still can't fathom why my grandfather thought he had ANY right to reach out to my mom after roughly thirty years of silence. Whenever my mom is asked about him, all she really has to say is, "The bastard missed out." Damn straight mom. DAMN. FUCKING. STRAIGHT.👏👏👏

[@lkc1790]

I love this track. It's the most he's ever talked about his dad. I can't believe I missed the bar when he said "I get it" as in he gets it himself. It's more of a simple bar but that one for some reason went over my head. Great breakdown as usual! #VerseFam #KnoxHill

[@DiaborMagics]

I love how you do breakdowns. Very often even though I enjoy reactors, if they say they break down things, they maybe break down 1 - 2 lines and call it a day. Not being American myself, I often do not understand or catch references and double meanings unless they are broken down for me. There may be a word I don't know has an actual meaning, it may be a cultural thing I don't know about, it may be referring to another song I don't know about. These in-depth breakdowns really help me understand and appreciate the music on a different level and I thank you for that. The way I see it, the more gets broken down, the better. That is in my opinion how these reaction videos should be - it serves to educate others as well as entertain and also decreases the risk of any party claiming that it is not fair use. As three pauses or a quick fast forward can hardly be considered fair use.

[@KnoxHill]

Thanks for taking the time to comment and share that. Really means a lot and keeps me doing these reactions because I know they’re appreciated. If I can help you guys understand and appreciate the music a little bit more, then I feel like I’ve done my job as a reactor. Thanks for supporting and continuing on this journey with me 🙌💯

[@DiaborMagics]

@@KnoxHill Thanks a lot for the nice response man! Keep going strong :D

[@frizzlethecat2084]

Agreed. I mean, watching people listen to music and not say anything is quite boring, so I never understood why some comments say "too long" or "too much talking". Even if it's not a deep breakdown like this, sometimes you get a lot of references and historical input (especially hiphop-history) through these talks. If someone wanted to just listen to the song, why not ... listen to the song? But this here, this channel and some similar ones are gold when it comes to getting the true ART of hiphop.

[@seankilcullen9717]

Love the breakdown of this. Keep up the great work. My favorite from this album because it hits home. Great album to set the bar for the hip hop community for 2020

[@willhall3702]

This was my favorite from this album and your break down with the bars that I missed made me love it even more thank you seriously

[@rajpatil3812]

Plz do Eminem - stepdad next 🙏 BTW love the reactions ♥️

[@NeaEmrys]

I get goose bumps every time I hear that hook, man.

[@diegocampello4748]

Best reaction as always and beautiful speech at the beginning ♥️ keep up!

[@luccasmachado2044]

Best reaction that I watched for this song. You have been doing a great job here Knox, please keep going

[@amahmed5431]

I saw many reactors saying how could he say about his dad like that. Not a single one of them can understand his pain. Thank you Knox bro for this beautiful breakdown

[@christianfuentes7675]

I feel like you have to do Revival...I can’t “Believe” how slept on and hated it was and still is, Hell I’m “Offended” because when I first heard the album, it felt “Like Home” to me..Honestly I couldn’t understand where the overwhelming “River” of hate was coming from, because he painted some masterpieces with the way he “Framed” the words..The whole album has serious “Heat” throughout it, some won’t like the beat choices, but the lyrics are too good to ignore! But he “Arose” from the supposed ashes of a trash album and has given us perfection since, he’s in the “Castle” of Hip Hop, you know..where the LEGENDS are and is “Untouchable”, everyone else is going “Nowhere Fast”. Show me someone else who can “Walk on Water” like he does. I don’t know about anyone else but I “Need Me” some Eminem in my life or else I would end up creating some very “Tragic Endings” for a “Bad Husband” that “Chloraseptic” throat spray would only make worse..so please get it “In Your Head” to give us some Eminem Revival reactions... Oh and that “Reminds Me” you may not know, but all the words in quotations are the song titles from the Revival album...I figured doing something like this might get your attention and persuade you to do them. I know you’ll appreciate and be able to explain to everyone the intricate and meticulously crafted and measured internal syllable rhymes and everything else he does in that album... your ability to breakdown the lyrics is something I seriously appreciate and respect, but your attention to detail and how you catch all the subtle changes and little nuggets of brilliance in the production side as well is just as impressive and something that no one else really catches.. you have a brilliant ear buddy. And your music is Dope too man...Hope you and yours are safe and stay that way bro! God Bless and keep doing your thang🙃💯

[@KnoxHill]

Haha, man love that. Now those are BARS!!! Going to finish this album out since it’s the most recent, and then I’m definitely going to start working backwards. And thanks for supporting man and for all these comments - it really goes a look way to keeping me motivated 🙏

[@christianfuentes7675]

awwww, missed opportunity😓 i totally should have put the titles in a verse for you! smh, shame on me lol

[@Iamafuckingmadlad]

Cycle warning

[@darkcraftertheking4377]

Freakin legend.

[@joewilkes5231]

WOW that is a work of art! Crazy skills, crazy deep meaning, & crazy lyrics! I feel you on being thankful for having parents & being a good parent myself.

[@LukePdS]

I love your reactions! Thanks for this beautiful content.

[@jivanshc6279]

Please do Stepping Stones from Kamikaze. It’s a very emotional song where he officially announces the end of D12.

[@NA-yw2vs]

‏‪ Sometimes I think you are Eminem ghost Writer!! seriously how you do it you are so good at this and chilling with it, not like the others. I think you will be excellent friends with him because you understand how he thinks🤯💔

[@KnoxHill]

Haha, now that’s an amazing compliment! Would love to meet him one day 🙌 Thanks for reaching out and for supporting

[@brianterry7144]

Another great reaction! One of the best reactors out here doing it! Keep em comin fam! 💯🔥💪

[@MrKnowledge0014]

When i first listened to the album this song stood out above every other for me. Fantastic vid Knox

[@steelerscrypticfuture7140]

hey Knox, just something to think about. A lot of NF'S less popular tracks are really amazing and i'm sure a good few of us NF fans would appreciate it if you'd react to some.

[@1212myali]

Do step dad next!!! Love your reaction and also... I don't like listening to cleaning out my closet anymore because Eminem regrets making that song and dissing his mom in every other song as well.. I prefer listening to headlights.. Hehe. As always, love you knox!! ^=^

[@mohamedel-barbary5998]

I'm binge watching your videos and I have to say. this is hands down the best breakdown I've ever seen to any rap. you're breaking down the beat, cadence, flow and meaning. keep up the work

[@marcocorreia6846]

love this channel the breakdown best channel i have seen till now Knox keep going with this

[@hrafnkellheiarr2766]

Will u react to i need a doctor by eminem and dr. Dre

[@tomwu6767]

maybe i'm reading too much into this but is "Go At 'Em" = GOAT EM?

[@ryanbaker7339]

Thank you Knox Hill you make me appreciate every artist that you respond to for sure.

[@sharkbeatz313]

Knox, You're definitely one of my favorite on KZbin. Youre a real one and give honest reactions and breakdowns. I myself teared up at the end. You can feel his emotion when he's spitting those lines. When he talks over the chorus it really hit. Great reaction as always my dude. Your girls have a good man watching over them.

[@zenithpath8707]

If this song made you choke up. "Legacy" is gonna do something to you

[@bhuvanvenkatesh3181]

And "Brain Damage". He missed the D'Angelo Bailey line

[@maratkhalfin5892]

React to other songs in Kamikaze album and Joyner Lucas ADHD album, please

[@KnoxHill]

Lol, you’re telling me man. I could barely keep it together towards the end. Powerful stuff

[@kohlchambers217]

Wow great breakdown - I never really thought about the song the way you put it. It makes me appreciate the song that much more

[@laurencehuertas3024]

This is the song that I've been waiting for to be reacted 💗 Mad respect for you 💪🧠

[@gio4rmlawood]

Always enjoy the way you react and break these songs down!! Subscribed

[@theexiledsins4429]

Dude your break downs are amazing! And your passion for music is out of this world!! Wishing you all the best bro

[@d1zturbed221]

You’re a great human Knox, God bless you and your family. Thank you.

[@rickbuter9339]

Another video by knox hill means another smile on my face! And you responding to so many reaction is awsome dude! Keep it up. You are the goat of bar catching!
