[@mattd3031]

We need more Watsky reactions on this channel! Finally..

[@Vamroc]

Watsky's been on a number of ERB tracks too and Dan Bull is in the same boat

[@absent72]

Woow I never expected a Watsky reaction lol. This is pretty cool actually

[@Syketherapper]

Damn right! Watsky is fucking nice. So damn nice ear for beats and how to destroy them completely.

[@SamuelTheAdept]

Watsky is one of the most slept on artists of all time so I’m glad you’re reacting to him.

[@metaphase-]

The random Bo Burnham cameo in this music video elevates it even further.

[@zeallust8542]

It also once again reveals that Bo is a giant

[@PenneySounds]

Watsky's like "Wow, I scored a cameo in my video from a big name star. Also, Jim Belushi's here"

[@mayawoflax2488]

that he rewound it like 3 times but wasn't looking at the video so didn't notice until play number 4 gah

[@imtonysopro]

LOOK AT THAT LONG ASS FACE

[@kylelee3576]

So much more Watsky, please. Any of his stuff, but “No Flex Zone” with Karmin, “Don’t Be Nice”, “Never Let it Die”, “Strong as an Oak”, “Sloppy Seconds”, “Cardboard Castles” anything. Dude is brilliant and I love seeing someone as insightful and knowledgeable as you break down a brilliant wordsmith like Watsky. Also his videos are always dope. Also Watsky said years ago that “I jump the freeway median, I’m savage, cuz my mode is that I’m meaner than the average.” Is his favorite line he’s written.

[@zeallust8542]

No flex zone is def a top recommend for me. Qveen goes hard, and their voices fit together so well.

[@chronicallybriana]

YESSS NO FLEX ZONE!! And Strong As an Oak, All You Can Do, Difference is the Differences, A New Kind of Sexy (ft. Dumbfoundead & Intuition), Moral of the Story, Tear The Roof Off (with Bleed N Eso), Godzilla Challenge, and, last but not least. Exquisite Corpse.

[@fullyautistic4760]

The only thing missing here imo is talking to myself

[@TheMadsC]

I strongly second "Don't Be Nice", I think Knox would love that one. Punchlines for days, lol.

[@pkt1213]

No Flex Zone is fire. I am hoping that Qveen will go back to dropping bars like Karmin.

[@wutflex]

Is watsky was truly the best live performance I've ever seen. His breath control onstage is incredible no backtrack just his voice and live instruments.

[@rowanespeverda4120]

Yeah live he goes nuts

[@wutflex]

@@rowanespeverda4120 Yeah not only did I see watsky but I was there when Anderson pakk was drumming for him on tour and I was in a maybe 150 person venue venue like 5 feet from the 2 legends!

[@rowanespeverda4120]

@@wutflex yeah I saw him in a little packed theater and he crowd surfed around the whole Venue mid verse

[@Syketherapper]

Fuuck I've seen Em and Tech live but I so much need to see Watsky also.

[@alvatrous]

He was my first rap concert. Shit was so fun

[@shaneaustin6754]

The reason his rhythms and rhymes fit so well with the drumbeat is that he was a percussionist in high school. He also takes particular pride in how his drums sound.

[@Kryxx07]

That's cool, I didn't know that. Percussionist turned rapper is always an amazing combo (Harry Mack comes to mind as another).

[@kylormiller242]

What’s really crazy about Watsky is that he holds the world record for worlds longest freestyle at well over 20 hours I believe

[@nvogeding]

33 hours, 33 minutes, and 33 seconds

[@alexgatz7667]

Yeah that live stream was amazing so proud of him

[@zeallust8542]

@@alexgatz7667 it was for some kind of charity wasnt it?

[@chronicallybriana]

@@zeallust8542 Yeah it was for his tour but also for other artists that were losing money from not being able to perform during the pandemic. He's da best.

[@hhoi8225]

It was the best thing that happened during Covid Year 1 lol

[@AMikeStein]

I clicked and within 2 seconds I paused to comment this... I am super glad you decided to do Watsky!!! This kid is so talented, period! and he came from a spoken word poetry background! Check out his entire Infinity album, it's hit Magnum Opus, lyrically and musically.

[@Angusblurger]

How can people not mention Exquisite Corpse? It´s a masterpiece with 8 different rappers weaving a story about the aftermath of a apocalypse. As per usual in a watsky production, this is straight fire from start to the 9:40 mark. It´s way to underrated and needs more love and respect.

[@chronicallybriana]

I know!! I don't know why that song has barely any reactions.I got my bud Teez McGee to react to it like a month ago though, trying to spread the message!

[@kylemiller4629]

Watskys delivery you're talking about all comes from his roots in spoken word. The guy was a legend. If you haven't watched his poems that's a fantastic place to see how he became the musician he is today. Also please do more Watsky. Your breakdowns are amazing and he's my favorite artist of all time

[@kos_m824]

Eventually it would be cool if you checked out some of Watsky's slam poetry, which is how he got his start. S is for Lisp is always a classic, very powerful as well.

[@lovelygamergirl716]

Bo and Watsky were (are still?) Friends! Watsky was a fan of Bo's comedy work and music!

[@dragandjukic839]

F*** yea, Watsky reaction. He is so underrated, dude is a poet

[@kadu51044]

Knox: Are we making movies or music videos? Me: Well, the guy that owns the Lambo was Jim Belushi, and we have Bo Burnham, so...

[@Sanspepins]

Knox enjoying the wordplay and this ain't even Watsky at his best

[@wutflex]

I cannot believe I've heard this song a 1000 times and you just enlightened me with the median, mean, mode, average bar....... how I missed that so many times?!?!?!?!

[@MrBlakeD82]

That's probably my favorite bar from the song. This is one of my favorite Watsky tracks.

[@The_Grimsun]

O man, hyped you are on to more Watsky. Dudes amazing. His musics all over the place but its great. Two of my favorites are "Welcome to the family" and "SEND IN THE SUN". Even if you don't react to them, there worth a listen. edit: O and he's 100% like a Gambino artist.

[@vancelyday2441]

Exquisite Corpses!!! so many features and they're all amazing.

Watsky emerged as he was a poet in high school in San Francisco. Very underrated artist.

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

"That does not look like a safe place to park a car like that" LMFAO dude the genuine look of concern n confusion was hilarious

[@TheJackalfilms1]

You need to do a react/breakdown for nearly anything Watsky puts out. Everything he does is insane. I highly recommend checking out the X Infinity album and specifically Exquisite Corpse. On top of being a phenomenal artist, he is an amazing Poet and has even set up entire albums in iambic parameter

[@chronicallybriana]

yes, thank you!! I feel like I'm the only one begging for Exquisite Corpse reactions lol

[@kristopherhardy3302]

I love he randomly has a Belushi driving the Lambo lol

Honestly, a breakdown of ANY song from Watsky's "x Infinity" album would make great content. Thanks for spreading the word on Watsky btw, he's one of the most talented lyricists of our generation and I'm so tired of him being slept on.

Watsky's "difference is the differences" will always be my favorite

The rewinding is showing the same scene over and over, but if you look at his lips they're matching the song even through the rewinds.

I’m so so happy one of my favorite reactors and great rapper in his own right reacted to Watsky … Watsky is such an unique talent and a fun listen a lot of reactors sleep on him and he deserves more credit If you haven’t already you should react to Watsky/Karmen - No Flex Zone

[@Goencc]

Thank you for breaking down this song, Knox. Watsky is the GOAT and my absolute favorite, but you managed to help me rediscover this song anew and find so many hidden meanings, it's like listening to it the first time. I you are BRAVE enough, you might want to check out another song that is not really NEW, but is amazing commentary about america and the WORLD (in 2016)

[@MrWulfsblood]

Watsky is great and an intellectual rapper as well, which is even better because you pick up in so many of the lines and meanings and seeing that excitement is phenomenal. I would happily recommend Spose - Nobody (Featuring Watsky) It's such an intelligent and inspirational song that I think you would get a kick out of.

[@Trapalt]

I have been waiting so long for you to start covering Watsky man. Much love! Also if you find time, you should check out Exquisite Corpse by Watsky and a colab of a bunch of rappers

Good catch on Bo, I've been a Watsky fan for awhile. His early music got me through a lot of tough times when I first went out on my own in the world. Bo did a cameo for this video because at the time he was too busy to fully collab with Watsky. I wish they would create a song together though.

watsky is such a phenomenal rapper. my all time favorite artist, I'd be hyped to see you react to more of his stuff. sloppy seconds, p much any song from his all you can do album, who's been loving you, I know you're a history buff so you'd probably like Hercules by him. the x infinity album is on another level !!!! his music has gotten more great with time.

What youre talking about with how they seem to write the beat alongside his voice is really fairly normal. At least from my own experience, my producer sends me a beat, i rap over it, and then i send back my voice alone for "mastering"

Holy shit... The Lamborghini guy was Jim Belushi? I didn't realize that until the credits. That's insane! Thanks for the reaction Knox!

[@razorramone63139]

Have you reacted to his work in "Epic Rap Battles of History" in the Shakespeare vs Dr. Seuss battle yet? 🤔 I don't remember seeing it. Edit: Had to go back and look. Since you haven't reacted to it yet, if you liked Watsky, check out ERBOH's Dr. Seuss vs William Shakespeare. 😁 He was also in ERBOH: Stephen King vs Edgar Allen Poe.

[@Orion_44]

I don't think he did, unless it isn't in the playlist

[@QuantSpazar]

it's definitely not in the playlist, and i doubt he's reacted to it because if it exists i have seen it, and i haven't

[@nickcrawford2456]

Actually, Knox reacted to the Edgar Allen Poe Vs. Stephen King ERB, in which Watsky plays Poe. And Knox did recognize Watsky, meaning he knew who Watsky was but just hadn't reacted to his music on the channel yet.

[@ryanstarkweather3625]

It's like a visual hit on the syllables and it actually makes it easier for me at least to hear what he's saying accurately. It's sort of like the dot on the words at the bottom of the screen for kids sing alongs.

Watsky is a favorite for sure of mine. I'd check out Don't be Nice. Also if you haven't gathered he is Edgar Allen Poe in ERB as well as William Shakespeare.

[@Baconater600]

[@bullspitproductions]

I can't wait for Knox to react to All You Can You Do or Conversations

[@chronicallybriana]

Okay so I have a laundry list of Watsky songs you *need* to react to, but first and foremost, PRIORITIZE EXQUISITE CORPSE! It's crazy insane how underrated that project is, considering how intricately genius the entire song/music video is, not to mention it features EIGHT other excellent rappers (the concept behind 'exquisite corpse' is based off of a poetry game where multiple artists collab but the rule is they're only given the last sentence or two of the person who went before them, like a sophisticated game of telephone lol) I promise you, I'll bet you $50, you'll need a new can of lighter fluid after checking out Exquisite Corpse from your socks being blown off so many times throughout. Strongly advise you go to No Flex Zone ft. Karmin after that, then look into: Strong As an Oak, All You Can Do, Difference is the Differences, A New Kind of Sexy (ft. Dumbfoundead & Intuition), Moral of the Story, Tear The Roof Off (with Bleed N Eso), Godzilla Challenge, 4AM Coming Home, Welcome to the Family, Energy, 10 Fingers, and the last one is actually one of his old slam poetry genius creations: S is for Lisp.

[@MrBlakeD82]

He says "If I was highly high-fee, I might be more widely known" but it could also be taken as "If I was highly hyphy" like the hyphy movement. Watsky is so dang underrated.

[@TheGhostOf2020]

Also “plain white T” reference from keak da sneak & E40.

[@95reide]

Yo Knox, this is one of my favorite Watsky songs ever. I heard the Maclemore similarity too, and it really made me think of the song Can't Hold Us. If you wanna persue the similarity, that'd be the song to check out.

[@asherskelton9060]

There was a group of songs on this man’s x Infinity album that really got me in my feels man

[@NimbleBeTuna]

The s for lisp poem he did on stage was great.

[@joshhale9355]

So the “I jumped the freeway median; I’m savage” is also a reference to Macho Man Randy Savage, who died from suffering a heart attack while driving and veered into the median. So there’s an extra meaning, he’s saying he’s savage in but also is being literal.

[@arvoltage]

CAUGHT IN 4K MESSING UP THE PYT BAR 😂😂😂😂 jp bro you’re on fire keep it up family 💪🏿

[@tankmon354]

You should really do Exquisite Corpse. Think you'll love the story and the many features to the song!

[@impossiblyindecisive]

The reason he has such crisp diction is because he used to stutter when he was a kid. To help with it, he started to do spoken word. You can even feel the spoken word style with his rhythm.

[@strayS2K]

I don't know how I missed this one, but god damn it's one my my favorite reactions :D
