The irony in the ending scene, that before he can carry on as an artist he needs to blow up his “negative thoughts” personified as himself. Meaning that he needs to blow himself up before he can blow up. Not just a double but borderline Paradoxical.

It's an homage to Annihilation as well. Entire theme of that movie.

The 3rd verse planning out his suicide is just cold tho... Glad he said he's no longer going through those dark times.

[@MrEresel]

13:50 that's Sadhguru talking there, Hopsin do meditation "I'm assuming" he is probably paying homage to him for helping healing Hopsin's mind.

[@danteerskine7678]

Sadhguru indirectly helped hopsin a lot in his life

[@sfh7371]

I love how he actually can hear/catches all the lyrics straightaway. A lot of reactors just don’t listen to everything

[@B3eRp0nGM4sAcre]

Man, I'm so glad these are songs that Hopsin made in like, 2019 & 2020. It's good to know that he's no longer in this mindset, but also scary to realize it had gotten that bad.

[@markrebollido5551]

NF and Hopsin be learning from one another. This song really feels like NF's Intro III, and NF's that'a a joke sounds very different from all his music. Both artist are evolving and learned from each other.

[@Urban_Paradise]

The Indian sounding voice at the end is Sadhguru. He has a ton of videos on YT and travels the world teaching. He is a next level spiritual teacher. I'm glad Hop listens to him. His perspective is unparalleled. Great reaction as always my dude.

[@rtb5369]

I've just realised how similar breaking down lyrics is to teaching English in High School.

[@KenoxProductions]

13:55 Probably zero connection, but the line talking about the importance of being alive reminded me of Dr. Kanojia's (a psychiatrist/Twitch streamer) speech after a streamer called Reckful, who struggled with depression and was also featured on Dr. K's streams, commited suicide. Dr. K also happens to be part Indian and I assume the narrator is as well, due to the accent. I don't know, just a strange coincidence I suppose.

[@mikeackerman75]

When he took his break he was in a really dark place and upon his return he made a video saying we're gonna hear alot of dark music coming out this year from when he was in that bad place but not to worry he don't feel that way now he's good

Dam even if u scrap that NF colab he did jus look at what he has done over the last 10 years he has always been goat level... he a goat in my eyes... he will one day die a legand in my eyes... he is a living legand now... hop was one of the first to use KZbin to start dropping music independently...

What people don't understand that at 11:15 when he pulls all them guns out it's a scene from The Mask the movie if y'all ever seen it. It goes over every reactors head lmao. And bothers me that they don't notice it lol

[@followfornothing]

This song reminded me of Eminem's song "Guilty Conscience." Could be an homage. I noticed the Eminem references from the Shelter to his Conscience trying to get Hopsin to take his own life.

[@Bdmaurice]

Ya, I got the same vibes.

[@BattleBorn868]

I noticed a lot of ppl saying it reminded them of guilty conscience but it was more reminiscent of my darling to me. em takes the role of one of the conscience and talks to other people whereas in my darling his alter ego is talking directly to him so it's a convo between marshall and his alter ego much like in this song with Marcus and Hopsin. maybe I need to revisit guilty conscience to get the reference but for now this is my take

[@dumpty]

@@BattleBorn868 i thought of my darling as well

[@OOLWprufKW]

@@BattleBorn868 yeah, i don't get why people compare it to 'guilty conscience', probably because they didn't hear 'my darling'? Because in terms of similarities 1st one is only close because of conversation with inner self, while 2nd features almost the same message and thought process along with it.

[@markmcgavigan3112]

Knox, amazing reaction. You're the only one who appreciated the camera, the beat and everything. You're not just reviewing lyrics and that's what I love about you. You pay attention. Please if you'll have time react to Hopsin - Your house. It's 2 months old and it is amazing track. I would love to see you reacting to it.

11:26 you can see the picture of NF and hopsin and he says people don’t know what they have until it’s “lost” (the name of their track)

[@haavardjosdal]

How does this comment only have one upvote?

[@catwhisperer2736]

This video is one of the coolest videos ever. I’ve always felt that Hopsin hasn’t gained the recognition he should for his art. Anyone who is a fan of his should go to his website and buy some merch to not only support him, but also to let him know that you appreciate the blood, sweat and tears he puts into his music. Like Em, he is a storyteller. If you have followed him from the beginning, his life is an open book.

[@COLOFIDUTI]

in my teens i had a boxing coach,i admit sucked at it, but the man threw some truth bombs.One that stick to me to this day was "nobody can criticise you harder than yourself" meaning that youre the only one that knows all your shit and if let it take control,if you give power to it, it becomes a lovecraftian cosmic horror monster that overwhelm all your will.I think hopsin was talking about that, and he sharing it can make a difference to people.Youre not the only one

Fun fact hopsin actually put Joyner on his first country wide tour then Joyner blew up bigger after opening for him that’s why the Joyner shout out has a lot of meaning to him

Saadguru is the Indian voice he's a motivational speaker. Very knowledgeable positive inspirational person Knox keep up the good work the content you produce is excellent 💯🎶🎵🎶🎙️

[@followfornothing]

15:14 The way that I look at that Knox, is that death isn't the end... death is a new beginning. So when Hopsin gave himself that grenade and he blew up that was basically Hopsin being reborn and now he is more self aware and he realizes what he has to do. Hopsin realizes that he has a lot of people to live for so that's why he won't take the easy way out but instead I think he realizes that he's helped a lot of people and he still has a lot to say and dead men tell no tales so yeah I think this is the rebirth of Hopsin. I think the collaboration with NF was also his new beginning and reinvention of self.

[@TheQuestionmarkstudi]

Looked it up, that man at the end of the song is Sadhguru, a very famous yoga instructor and author since yoga isn’t just all about the external with the stretches and stuff, but also deals with the mind and spirit. Most likely in that speech, he was referring to negative thoughts corrupting both, and not let negative thoughts do that to you.

[@jonmaclellan2415]

The Mask reference i just got as you were talking about duality. The big animated guns, the brass section samples a little after that. Reminds me of The Mask... Jim Carrey basically became a different person when the mask went on... a charismatic, risk-taking, adgaf ladies man, etc. Kinda describes Hopsin wearing a mask sometimes to hide these internal negative thoughts and doubts from the outside world.

[@jacksonreed6464]

Hop actually recently said on his Twitter that the very end of the video with the grenade was inspired by a scene from the movie Annihilation. If you watch the movie or even that specific scene it sort of adds another level of depth to the end of the video. Personally I see it as Hop trying to rid himself of his negative thoughts.

[@jeremiahgrigorian4699]

The last scene is from an actual movie, where they do the EXACT same thing. I think its called Annihilation (Look at Hopsins IG - he shows the scene in one of his posts ) ;:) Also the Dancer scene, the gun scene, they are both inspired from "The Mask" - if you noticed the rose in his mouth :)

Also, you were asking about how they set up the camera for the first chorus/hook. This whole video was shot on a robotic arm with preprogrammed movements.

The battle scene I feel like its like an inner battle where he is battleing himself mentally. The video itself is from before he got out of his depressed state, and the ending is a representation of him destroying his negative mentality or those negative thoughts. Idk, just the way I read into it

[@Nabuchodonozord]

You can see how they set the camera in Stevie Knight's interview. 5:45 of 2nd part of the interview specifically. Sorry for the plug, but he has a fairly long segment where you can see how it moves, spins. It's attached to an industrial robot seen on production lines. The same old robots people learn to program in Computer Science and Robotics majors. Seems like the company shooting the video repurposed them for things like that, and it works damn well. Really well programmed too. Like the beat in music, its timing had to be perfect for every line, and Hopsin had to match its movements.
