[@wendyweedwhacker]

Ren's sense of humour is something that has gone highly underappreciated. It is a big part of why his story telling and lyricism is so relatable and human. He provides us with comic relief we all need in moments of the darkest reflection on the human condition.

[@genevievebills5227]

YES!

[@catsandcrafts171]

He really is such a funny guy, isn't he? Dark humour mostly. I notice with a lot of reactors from the US, a lot of the British humour goes by un-noticed,

[@wendyweedwhacker]

@@catsandcrafts171 ya, I'm a Canadian and I think we get more UK content and literature here, so he's effing hilarious to me. ... Eg. Monty Python was a staple in my house growing up. British humour is probably my favourite. 😆

[@chrisseiler42]

I remember hearing hi Ren for the first time (my intro to Ren) and thinking he even gives his evil side a sense of humor. I liked that. I appreciate his sense of humor so much. I need as much humor as I can get. I’m an old lady trying to get my strength back. Inspired by Ren. And Knox helps me make sure I don’t miss anything!❤❤

[@wendyweedwhacker]

@@chrisseiler42 100%

[@michaellavella2377]

The thing I love about the kombucha line that I haven't seen anyone mention yet is how it ties back to him butchering the culture. You need a culture (bacteria and yeast) to brew it. So he's not brewing it up because he's got no culture. And props to you being the only one who really understood the Of Mice and Men reference. I love how intelligent and educated both you and Ren are.

[@IFroggy112]

Ah, now I get it!! Thanks for that - I caught most everything else but kombucha reference stumped me.

[@HollyB5484]

OMG thank you!! The kombucha line was the only line I didn't understand because of. his accent. I had no idea what he was saying there til Knox said it and now you explained the deeper meaning to it. I appreciate that. Oh btw I'm in America and I did know who Lennie from Of Mice and Men was. I had a teacher who loved John Steinbeck. That and I remember Chris Farley portraying Lennie in an SNL skit at some point.

[@kazpwright]

Brilliant!! I totally missed that bit about the culture. He’s not only a sick puppy, he’s a blooming clever one 😅

[@analisasmith7927]

Thanks for this - mystery solved!

[@amyf1424]

I KNEW there was something about that line. Thank you, that is what I needed.

[@MurkW00d]

A few things to add: the bagpipes are traditionally played at the start and end of royal proclamations. The flowers are important too, the language of flowers gives white chrysanthemum - death, grief Ferns - sorrow Olive - peace, reconciliation, victory Even in the first shot Ren is showing where the track is going ❤

[@bodyfarmbrat]

THIS

[@NixyRose72]

And the bagpipes are playing "Amazing Grace." I don't know if it is an actual point, but Ren absolutely showed grace and class in his ending message. Ren is a good man. Maybe too good for this broken world. I hope he's not too late. We need to listen and actually hear him. I wish more would. 😊💜

[@CLad-nc1ox]

Also like to add context of Amazing Grace written by John Newton 1772 a former slave trader's message about forgiveness and redemption is always possible.

[@NixyRose72]

@CLad-nc1ox oooh thank you for that info! Even more and deeper into Ren's mind we go! I don't think most of us (I know i sure don't) have the capacity to fully understand every level. He's like top of the tier. I'm smart enough, but OMG I feel like a stumbling toddler trying to learn trigonometry. I can dive in and feel and learn and even relate to so many levels (pain, depression, misdiagnosis, suicide survivor and lost friends, medication game, dv survivor is a few of my connections...) but I doubt I'll ever be able to grasp them all. But I can feel and absolutely feel less alone and less broken. He's reaching all ages and all demographics.

[@kyosuke423]

Pin to the top

[@phillevin6651]

Rens flowers had Chrysanthemums.. death. Ferns, humility, and olive branches, reconciliation. A giveaway right from the start. Rens attention to detail is above and beyond. Knox you caught all the bars that so many missed. The Daft punk, Rage and Lenny references.. you da man. Hats off to you, even other reactors mention your name as in “I can’t wait to see Knoxs’ breakdown.”

[@kazpwright]

I think Amazing Grace has an interesting back story including slaves and those in the slave trade back in the day. Ren would’ve known that too.

[@lannawolf1864]

Ferns also symbolize rebirth.

[@DebbieSandford-1807]

Absolutely right - totally

[@X-Stream24]

Knox and Ren need to make a track together

[@nenasadie]

That would be so fire the sun would make a diss track in response.

[@vixenbabyy]

I wish I could like this comment 1000 times. I would love to see this come true.

[@jasonratcliffe3137]

[@elizabethcox1553]

That would be awesome

[@sammichvonpotato]

There are so many reaction videos on KZbin to Ren’s diss track, but regardless of whether Dotta (or Michelle Show) respond, it’s Knox’s reaction that matters the most. What an absolute hero taking inspiration from Ren, trying to build others up, and the most comprehensive breakdown of this rap out there! Much love and respect to you, Knox 🙏 🔥

[@coryboatz4434]

"Little steak on my plate, youre starting beef but its butchered" can also be interpreted as a "little stake", as in not much to gain by responding to the beef, thats been already butchered. Absolutely brilliant

[@jacks9624]

Dotta referred to Ren as "a dish the Universe served him", that "steak" line also responded to that. As all "fat dissing" is a response to Dotta calling Ren "too skinny to lift bars"

[@NBLDMN]

Knox you are a damn Gentleman and a Scholar, Sir. And also a cold blooded assassin when someone tries to hurt your community and there is nothing to say but respect. Its seen and felt by every member and thats why we are here and thats why we fuck with you. Thank you. Truly

Because my mother language is not english ( i`m German ), i didn´t catch all the things and deeper meanings Ren put in his response. So *thank you* Knox for this complete and very intelligent analysis of everything that is being said. It makes me appreciate and love Ren even more, makes me realize how intelligent, wise, funny, uplifting, loving he really is. Both of you are great examples of good character, honesty, dignity, humanity. Thank you !

[@zed4225]

Great english, spot on in your message❤ (visited Germany a couple of times, beautiful forests, another love of mine)

[@dragonfire1842]

Ren is so gifted. Even if Dotta continues to try and build his numbers with diss rap, there is zero way he will get support if he goes after Ren again, and it would be career suicide if he did. Especially where Ren just offered him a hand up. If Dotta wants to rise, he now has a fork in the road and can choose which path to take, something rarely offered in the game of rap; Dotta can choose diss (or hate) rap, or encouragement, hope, rap. This is Ren's world and people are hungry for it.

[@DanKaschel]

I think this misses the point a little bit. Neither Ren nor Knox were trying to discredit diss rap as an art form. If they did, then they would be hypocrites. Dotta’s choice is (was) to capitalize on this opportunity (and behave respectfully under this new scrutiny) or just be bitter about being bested.

[@andyx25]

I'm telling you guys, Ren is kindness personified and kindness is unbeatable!

[@zed4225]

Love this, 100 my brother

[@MissMeKate]

Who knew you could resurrect someone by tapdancing on their grave? Ren, apparently. I was sceptical about all this but you and Ren made me laugh so much with your tracks, and I love that you've both done positive things with it. I hope Dotta does the sameand moves on to creating not dissing.

For the kombucha bar I'd also add that it is made by fermentation. so that also ties into the butchering the culture, like destroying the bacterial culture in the kombucha. so freaking GENIUS!

[@gurulimbo]

“If you can lift others up to places they couldn’t reach, then your rewards can be much more than you can earn in a week” Ren should start doing TED Talks. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥😎

[@serendipitish]

And that line is from Love Music Part 1, one of the oldest tracks in his catalog -- Ren wrote that when he was TWENTY, if not before! This was his character long before he ever got his recent success, before he got signed to Sony, before he got sick and lost his dreams and was forced to a wisdom and perspective beyond his years. The rising tide that is currently lifting all channels it touches has been part of Ren's nature all along. ❤

[@DenTweed]

He played the game, excelled at it, and then pulled it all back into his own way, organically. It's a masterclass imo. The end might not be completely in the "spirit of Battle rap" but imo actually questioning that and flipping it into his spirit/beliefs just is *chef's kiss*.

[@TheBorderRyker]

Knox and Ren are genuine and speak with integrity. When Dotta came for Knox and Ren he had no idea who he was messing with. I am so proud to be following such great role models. For Ren to be able to completely bury Dotta and then to turn it around and show firstly that it’s not personal but then to lift him up and tell his own followers to show Dotta respect and follow him is incredible. Much love from a very proud fan, Knox. 🙏🏻😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 P.S. If you happen to read this Dotta I wish you the best. Peace ✊🏼

[@jameydupuy9280]

Yeah, he totally showed him he had the talent and skills to destroy him, instead of leaving it at that, he slung some grace on him and gave him an opportunity to redeem himself without losing face. Ren is throwing life lessons out to anyone with the sense to grab on. Wow. He blows my mind at every turn. This kid has magic.

[@anandasouthard7760]

Knox, I bet you got straight A’s in English and history when you were in school! You never miss a literary reference or cultural/historical reference and you know your politics too! I commented something similar on another video, but I want a Knox and Ren reading list! I want to know what y’all’s favorite books are. We need a book club with Knox doing the plot breakdown!

[@glitterxgore6943]

God the more I see of Ren the more I freaking appreciate him as a human being. What an amazing person he is.

[@juliem660]

Nice catch of the "flowers". Another double meaning: the video started w/ funeral march of Amazing Grace... & ended with Amazing Grace being exhibited by Ren. When we respond with Grace... like you & Ren did with this... it generates a container that invites transformation, so all concerned... all who witness it... can enter into that state of mind. It's humbling to witness ... and sparks joy in the hearts of your audience. Thank you!

[@sammyd8860]

Another layer to Amazing Grace is that it was written by someone who had been involved in the slave trade, who found redemption in God and then worked/campaigned to abolish slavery. When sinners repent, they can find redemption ...

[@cathykasaback3728]

Brilliant insight, love this!

[@michaelmacdonald334]

It took me some searching to find your comment, as I was going to say the same thing. So now I'm commenting to help raise the engagement in hopes/chances of Knox Hill seeing this and learning something he didn't know, or flagging something that he missed.

Ren disarmed him. Genius. He couldn't snipe back at Ren as he would have looked like the biggest fanny ever. Clever Ren. The bouquet also contained ferns and olive branch for sincerity and peace. Some botanist pointed that one out; the themes of the rap.

This might be my favorite quote of the year. Seriously... "If I pander to my ego then I'm just another slave... a casualty of vanity... hate just breeds hate..." This man is a genius who has made the conscious choice to bring as much good into the World as he can. He turns a diss battle into a call for brotherhood and unity while encouraging the other rapper to consider doing GOOD rather than continuing the nastiness. Wow. Just f-ing WOW. Okay, now for my "Knox Hill comment." What a KILLER reaction. More of an analysis and explanation video. I subscribed to you immediately when I saw your reaction to Hi Ren. Your knowledge and understanding of rap opened my eyes to the complexities and creativity behind (good) rap. The way you explained what Ren was doing in this video was superb. I'd heard it only two times prior, and I was missing something. Make that thingS. Plural. I had a general sense of the meaning, but I had no clue about MOST of the 'sneakier' references to other artists and other songs. Fantastic reaction!! You certainly affirmed my suspicion that you are bright AND intuitive! Thanks! Now I can comment on OTHER reactors videos of this and sound like I'm the smartest one in the room. "The pinnacle of my success is stealing other people's material." 😉

Enlightening analysis of the whole situation. Also, as always, you caught quite a few things in REN’s diss that no one else has.

[@bethosbornefischer3315]

All of Ren's spoken word pieces are great exercises for catharsis. Really inhabit Ren's cadence, tone, and expressions. It's a great way to learn to flip the story and find your own power. In addition to the chrysanthemums, Ren has fern--for sincerity and sorrow--and olive--for both peace and victory. Ren telegraphed things right there, then he used words. He's a gem. Always. So are you Knox.

[@mimikannisto4418]

Thank you for taking the time to address the difference in the type of content that Ren and you create vs the type of content Dotta creates. You make a very good point about any fans that do choose to follow Dotta not being interested in the substance of the content he has created up to this point. I have looked at some of his regular tracks to see what's there. That is exactly the type of content that I have avoided for years. Hip hop and rap has greatly evolved over the years. Continuing to fill your mind with destructive content especially these days when so many are struggling just isn't helpful. In my opinion that's the type of content that keeps you trapped where you are, not changing, growing or trying to do anything to improve your quality of life. Even if an artist does have some degree of skills that can be improved over time. If the substance of the content is hateful, destructive, divicive and or toxic it simply will not gain the traction that it otherwise could even if a million or two eyes are looking at it. It will drop off.

That's why I subscribed here. I truly believe that Ren is inspired and is directed by a Light which few others can sense in any way, and he not only can give it voice, but also act in accordance with it as he shows in this. He proves that he can scrap with words, but then offers to help his opponents back to their feet and even asks his fans to return compassion. The kid is special, precious for the service and grace that he shows to all of our human tribe, and he's proving also that he can "walk the walk" relative his message by returning brotherly love to his attacker. I really hope that he changes this world, because I'd much rather live in his vision of it's potential

Only Ren could brutally murder someone in self-defense, then resurrect them just to extend an olive branch, those necromancer books really did good Knox XD Mad respects

[@rogerstarkey5390]

He extended the olive branch ..... But reminded Dotta it was a funeral with the pipes to finish😉..... Stay down!

[@nataliapazar872]

I was waiting for this. Your breakdowns are awesome as always. What I was really waiting for though: is to see how you react to the second part. Did you notice that as soon as Ren flips it around, you don't stop at every line like you did at the first part? The flow just takes you on the journey it took us all on. Love how the grizzled rap-dissector has to stop and just listen in awe. So it's not only me! Every single time I hear this, I have tears I'm my eyes. Don't really know why. Maybe seeing how love can win against hate actually gives me hope? Maybe because I almost stopped believing it... Hats off for your final message. You can count me in as a supporter of the cause for your next song.

[@DebbieSandford-1807]

Ren and yourself, total respect and loyalty from the UK baby - stay safe and prosper ❤

[@genevievebills5227]

I am a huge fan of both you and Ren, both musically and because of where both your hearts are at. Unfortunately, i was far too old when i learned that there is a way to artfully and skillfully stand up for yourself when being dissed and yet still spin it into a positive light. Thank you for your fucking amazing music, sharing your gift of breaking down songs and giving a new appreciation for the HipHop/Rap world, that i didnt know i had. One note to mention while pointing out specifics in Ren's video, at the end the bagpipes play Amazing Grace...interesting choice in the hymn in the intro/outro. GRACE. its funny as hell, in the intro as the song, of course is played most often at funerals, but, again, that juxtaposition that Ren so eloquently spits is always amazing. Thanks again for building up community support and stay gold my friend.

❤❤WOW Knox, you’re such a great example for this community…this whole situation that you and Ren have found yourselves in has just been pathetic. I’m really sorry that your life has been interrupted by having to deal with this. Same for Ren…..having medical treatment and moving to a new apartment is extremely stressful…I’m really proud of you guys for turning this around for good.❤❤

[@hancansolo3569]

Man i've listened to "Patiently Waiting" Remix today like 15 times, it was so good and now i come back to this? Love you Knox

[@joepineapples1]

Love watching the glow that Ren has shared with him and the ever-expanding fanbase for everyone who's watching this rapidly growing story.

[@battoosh]

Mad respect to you and Ren. And here's to Ren-Knox collab in few near future 🥂

[@Hexenkind1]

Wonderful reaction and overall response to everything. You were clear on here and I understand that you are done dissing now and why. I will support your coming cause as well. Lift people up and not tear them down.

[@DN-wy3ud]

You and Ren have amazing positive attitudes, it's a valuable trait to have as artists 👍

[@sbegley7947]

I know I'm late to the party on this one. But still needs to be said... You and Ren are so genius... talented, educated and so sophisticated. I love that you're an example of how to take a punch, give a punch and help your opponent up off the floor. Classy❤❤❤

[@TovaBotCom]

Tom's song "Bit My Tongue" is literally about not responding to the haters and rappers putting out diss tracks because it just makes them bigger, and that's exactly what they want! The way Ren actually gave him a second chance and an opportunity to make something positive out of it was brilliant. I just did this reaction last night.... you sir are next up tonight! I'm always down to be complicit in a rap battle homicide lol.

[@IsPuK]

Knox... Why did you have books on necromancy?

[@lbow09]

As a stay at home mom, this has been far more entertaining than anything I could watch on TV! I love it!! I love the positivity that came from it all! Knox and Ren for the win!!! Dotta with the half win!!!

[@cindyd.01]

West End Meets Rapping. That’s it! ❤ Your friendship with Ren is the coolest thing. And you are living it in public, and we are here for it. 😊

[@johnramage45]

Knox your reactions are brilliant, you don't miss any hidden bars or refences even in other videos I noticed you are well versed on some European topics and geography others totally didn't get but you had some understanding of it and the message. Other videos I feel like screaming as they bypass all the creativity and miss so much, when here I can relax and have things I missed shown to myself ❤

[@drealyn1486]

This was the reaction/ break down that I was waiting for and you didn't disappoint! Appreciate you taking a positive stance on what might come next, the high road looks good on you.

[@spartan_warrior5927]

This honestly is one of the best disses I’ve ever seen. The culture reall is evolving.

[@JulieAiken]

❤Thanks, Knox, for a response of brilliance and fire, and then an olive branch. You and Ren and others who are also starting to get on board the love train like Black Pegasus, ChillROC, and others -- you're changing the world! ❤

[@benjaminjoynt2754]

You and Ren are both offering to help this guy. I loved the battles and I LOVE how classy it’s ending. This is amazing for the culture! ❤

[@tylerpaul7278]

Hey man, that breakdown at the end. You really shown alot of your true character and beliefs. Mad respect my guy. Didnt know you kept it that 100. Ive followed you for a little while mostly for reactions but i heard some of your stuff too. But you just gained a fan right here jus from learning more about your character. Great video

[@natashalutz5550]

Knox, I have become a big fan of yours since discovering you on KZbin. You came up as a recommendation as I was watching Ren's videos and I am so glad that happened. I wish you all the best in your career. I know you're going to kill it. I am looking forward to a Ren and Knox dual concert, that would be a dream come true!

[@darrendallas8387]

I came to see your stuff as I love ren. You should come to Edinburgh Fringe this year. Ren always brings something new

[@mrdarengilbert3907]

Faaark, Knox, ive be been a fan but now, I love you man, you and REN are farking weapons, sorry to swear so much but you both have got me so emotional, this is how we all move forward, much respect . Daz

[@dalemurray1318]

Those flowers Ren was holding, aren't they the flowers associated with EASTER? Did Ren drop this 3 days after you buried Dotta? That little "Eeaster egg"would be hilarious, and so like Ren.

[@sebastiank.3894]

Thank you for providing your perspective on how things were going. You and Ren both killed it. That was just hilarious. On top of that you are taking the high road! That is so inspirational. Thanks to both of you.

[@MsMichelleangel]

Bagpipes at the end, playing Amazing Grace

[@lesleyhobbs3810]
