THIS GOT TO ME | Rapper Reacts to Joyner Lucas ft. Jelly Roll - Best For Me (First Reaction)

What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro check out my new song with Kxng Crooked now 🤟kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3e5ZWduibFkj7ssi=vR6PZeerT-PAy3yM

React to Freshy Kanal Jack Sparrow vs Star Lord rap battle. You will not be disappointed it goes hard

[@mariyayordanova]

Don't want to be so repetitive, but as someone who believes that rap should be about real life, positivity and struggle. Not about money cars etc. I believe you should dive into Milo J music. And I cant think of better way than his session with Bzrp.... He was 16 at the time, but always ahead of is time.

We need more Connor Price

[@t-and-p]

Knox - I notice that, throughout this video, you are apologising for relating what you are hearing back to the loss of your cousin. Please don't apologise. Every person watching will be relating what they are seeing back to a situation(s) in their own lives - it's how we comprehend and make sense of the world. That's nothing to be ashamed of. Furthermore, you honoured your cousin on the track with King Crooked. We know that you're going through it right now. People who hold that in, do so to the detriment of their mental health - another topic you've spoken publicly on. Showing people that it's ok to talk about deceased loved ones and learn from those experiences is an extension of your prior work (particularly on Family Curse and My Time) breaking taboos in order to support others. That is honourable, not something to apologise for, my friend 👍

[@miaclaudio5428]

Let me tell you Knox you know I was addicted to Oxycontin for 8 years because I was prescribed them but it's not an excuse let me tell you it's not because you destroy everything around you without even knowing that is exactly what you're doing you don't see it till it all collapses and that's what happened to me but I got sober thank God but not everybody does and it's not your fault cuz I know I heard your song about your cousin and people that use cannot make you feel guilty Trust and Believe In what I'm saying if you can have an intervention and help that person great but if they're not willing to there's nothing you can do you have to walk away and I've learned that being sober I had to walk away from my husband the man I loved since junior high thank God he's sober now but I still can't be near him it has to be a lot longer and things happen that way and it's not your fault I always want to tell somebody this as being a user I blamed everybody but being sober I know now that it's nobody's fault but mine it was nobody's fault but mine and that person has to come to that realization and if they die I feel so bad it's horrible cuz I've seen so many people die in my family but what could I do people are going to use people are going to use if they want to believe me nobody got a gun hold it to their head as a matter of fact people that use drugs usually don't want to share LOL even though it's not funny seriously nobody should feel guilty but if you do have a chance to have an intervention do it

[@dozer6751]

To anyone going through hard times right now, don't find a way out of your situation, find a way through. Great reaction Knox.

That's powerful brother. That's powerful..

[@samuelpancake4084]

I used to be bad with military PTSD and attempted but since then I used my pain as fuel to get thru God bless

[@MrZKR2391]

Funny how something can sound so simple but yet hit so Powerfully. "Don't look for a way out look for a way thru" wow 👏

[@justinadams2248]

I recently od’d on purpose I just had so much going on in life and it just seemed like the way out but yet it was the hardest decision of my life but also the easiest. unfortunately, I have an escaped the grasp of addiction yet and had lost faith in humanity, but the EMT they just happened to show up to help me also came back and told me that she lost her sister to addiction and begged me to do something for me. They hit me pretty deep and all this positivity love and care I see coming from channels like yours and the words from Someone that’s never met me that’s an EMT made me feel more love than I’ve ever gotten from any family and that’s what restore my faith. 25 years drug abuse under my belt, 14 accidental overdose, and three attempts on purpose just to get away from it now I feel like I have something to prove not just for myself, but for others if I don’t do it for me, I’ll do it for others so they can have hope .

[@ryanmallery7667]

The song hits hard as I overdosed in 2019, and was put on life-support two days in a coma, to be blessed enough to come back and be given another chance! my heart goes up to anybody struggling with the addiction and it also goes out to the people that are affected and the pain that is caused

[@kimberlypillar3074]

🙏🏻

[@tommyfey1735]

Thanks Knox, I feel your pain brother. Buried my buddy a yr ago to this disease who has a 19 yr old daughter, & we buried her mom 5 yrs earlier to the same disease. Also…I’ve battled this myself as well. I work for Ford Motor Co. I broke down to my bosses in 2014 with my addiction issues. Ford paid $37,000 for my rehab, & I’ve been clean since July 11th 2014. I’m sorry about your cousin. God rest his soul. Praying for you & your extended family. God bless

[@Kneelin83]

hits hard...i lost my brother in 2018 to an accidental overdose. i used to look at his struggles and choices within addiction as just "not trying" or "weakness of character"...it wasnt until losing him and me finding sobriety myself and struggling myself, that i truly understood how powerful IT cant be and how powerless we can be until gettinf help and support. ❤ the guilt hurts sometimes. love you knox and keep your head up we are here for you and anyone who needs you

[@Melanie-AlwaysJustMe]

I lost my brother in 2012 from pain pill addiction. I've been recovering from my own demons for 21 years. Prayers for you! I know how hard it was when you lose those closest to you 💔🙏🏻 Proud of you for overcoming your own!

This is an incredible track. Joyner nails it, the bars, cadence, emotion is so good. RIP to your cousin, man

[@timmorrell9828]

Knox you’re a beautiful soul , I’m sorry for your loss brotha . This song hits me so hard , you’re a real one I wish you nothing but peace my man . We’re not supposed to go through this shit but some of us have to . The only thing we can do is use our losses to help the next person we see G. Probably one of the most self aware people I’ve spent my time to listen to . All love hang in there man

[@phlanxsmurf]

I guess I didn’t realize I would cry to your video today, but here it is. Beautifully haunting song, coming from both sides hit me pretty hard. I appreciate you Knox. Thanks for doin it man.

[@tonyl6469]

Breakdowns like this is why you're one of the best reactors in the game. Not just the bars but the message is never lost on you, keep it up man

[@Triple87]

Been waiting for this. Joyner is a fucking genius. Jelly on the hook was a brilliant call. This song is so deep, and they both absolutely killed it.

[@harstar12345]

Having to stop and digest listening to this. Real art happened here today. Knox, man, my heart goes out to you. I'm sorry you're going through the fallout of this, your family might never be the same, you might never get to look at yourself the same when you're standing in front of the mirror. Some things change us forever, you can only press forward. Make him proud, make art that reflects your soul, I'm sure that's what he would ask you to do if he could send you one last message. ❤

[@InfamyAutoTowing]

This hits hard as hell being an addict an hurting my family for so long in my active addiction! Finally getting clean took so much pain tears loss and lonliness! With god and hardwork i got my life back! Joyner killed this and plus knowing jelly rolls struggles and his kids mom he was perfect for this his voice oozes with the pain of his story!❤🙏💯

[@Sonofmorn666]

10 years clean and it's still a struggle it's a battle for life. May your cousin rest in peace man heart goes to you and yours

[@chichonete]

Your final words made me cry more than the song 😢

[@MangoBalloon]

Fuck, I love you, Knox Hill. Your analysis and commentary is the best online and your empathy is valuable beyond words.

[@Beautifully_Broken]

Knox, the guy playing the "Junkie" is my fiancés good friend Mic DeVine. They all grew up together rapping in Worcester, MA with Joyner. Mic is an AMAZING rapper, and would be Forever grateful if you could give it a listen, & maybe even react to it. If this got you choked up, then Mic DeVines 'Way Down We Go' will destroy you. (It's dedicated to one of our friends, Dave Fournier, who lost battle with his addiction.)

[@wootang741180]

Can't find this guy anywhere

[@Beautifully_Broken]

@@wootang741180 he's in my play list

[@Beautifully_Broken]

@wootang741180 wow, I'm a lil disappointed that Knox auto deletes anyone who tries promoting someone else..... I thought he was better than that, but it's looking like I was wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@suicyco6]

​@@Beautifully_Broken naw your post is still up, unless you posted something else behind it

[@Beautifully_Broken]

@suicyco6 what does the post say? I was trying to help @wootang741180 find the song & it was deleted twice. (Like, instantly, so I'm thinking he has keywords that cause certain comments to be taken down right away.) It's weird cause I'm not being shady or hurting anyone. I just think my mans friend deserves some recognition because he's great. He has very few views, so I was hoping to get him some much deserved recognition. (And, I'm thinking the algorithm isn't cooperating due to his low view count, so I figured it couldn't hurt to make it super easy for people to find it 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@TananJess]

This is such a powerful song, it's like quit saying you want to help me when all you're doing is trying to fix my addiction because how it's reflecting on you and the family..when you ain't never been worried about fixing me, not an excuse but from everything I've been through has finally gotten to me.

[@719MountainBiking]

Your breakdown of Joyner Lucas was genius, describing the drummers percussion with Lucas syllables. Great video.

[@DanFeske]

Addiction is so destructive. We didn’t choose to get addicted. Some of us chose to fight back & get sober. Sober since Feb 19 2001. That was a rough year. Not everyone can battle their demons & win. Some take the addiction to the extreme. Never take a permanent solution to temporary problems! People need you here.

[@mom2majkmt]

Sober 1 year 4 months and 19 days…. The perspective of the addict on this is SOO on point. Every damn word, I’ve spoken them to myself for over 12 years. I had to drop to the pit of hell to fight that poison, hardest fight of my life. Knowing you face another day over and over aging of the worst pain your mind can imagine just to make you reach for relief that only a foot away. Getting clean is a fight and we all want to win, but if you haven’t felt it, this song really puts some mental perspective on it and the physical fight can’t be explained. Keep fighting, 1 minute, 1 second at a time, you can make it, the pain does end ❤ I believe in you

[@BeersBars]

A mutual channel supporter commented on our reaction to this song saying we should come check out your reaction. Really sorry for your loss, excellent job breaking this down while showing respect and sharing insight. Stay strong ✌️🍻

[@iriscolon4970]

Knox thank you so much for showing joyner love ❤️ he is so underrated....also my condolences man...it's such a hard thing to go through

[@darthgambo1]

As Always an Amazing Reaction, We all love ya Knox .. Sorry about your Cousin.. I know this hits close to home. You’re not alone

[@tylerwilcox9922]

“Hope that your reflection will send you a message, and you will see that this shit is much deeper then you.” That bar hit home the most for me. I have 3 years clean off fentanyl now but when I was in early recovery my mom sent me a photo of me at my sons 3rd birthday party. I was 175 pounds when I normally walk around at 220. I looked like a shell of myself. When I was in my addiction I thought I looked good. But looking back on the picture I looked like shit. If we could only see how we look when we are in the addiction, it could possibly help but we are so blind to it cause all that matters is getting high.

[@mikecrain2076]

I feel like in the parts where joyner gets callous in his verse are more a representation of how we talk to the ones we love who are going through this. Like we say the say things over and over in argument after argument and finally we say something terrible, something we know we are going to regret. Just to finally see a reaction other than blank stares

[@kristin2115]

Wow. The collab I never knew I needed!!!! Man this hit home HARD. As always, great reaction Knox and I will keep you and your fam in my prayers 🙏🏻

[@YourFeelingsDontMatter-ec7th]

As I’m watching this reaction I am now 2 weeks clean from drugs after 3 years of use. I was told I didn’t use for very long by the detox center I was at but it was long enough for me and I finally had enough. I woke up and decided it’s time to quit and checked myself in and I had my wife’s support the whole way. Songs like this and many more from Jelly Roll and Joyner and several other artists gave me the extra hope and strength to find that help and stick to it and now I’m back to work and getting everything in my life that I left off on back on track. I know it’s still a long and hard battle ahead but like you said the support is key and I now know that I have that and am ready to bear down and give life my very best and never give up. I’m terribly sorry about your cousin Knox and I can relate. I lost my brother 4 months ago to his addiction and I still can’t believe he’s gone and the hurt from it will never go away but the honor of his memory also gave me the power and the reality check to get my head out of my ass and kick what dragged me down. It is a disease and the sooner that many others understand that the sooner we might be able to help others properly and not just give the cold shoulder or just not acknowledge their existence just because of their disease and the disease I had. Much love Knox and I hope all is getting better and the healing process is going on the right direction.

[@magnetsoldiercephas331]

I can see the sadness Knox. Stay strong and blessings. You are loved.

Great reaction Knox. Powerful.

[@HipHopSobriety]

Knox I've watched your channel for years now. I've struggled with addiction starting at a young teen, I'm 18 now. Writing music has been the only coping skill I've had to distract myself from using, on my 18th birthday I went into rehab. I got special permission to turn on the TV and watch ur channel because I voiced to the people there that you are one of the select few options I have to keep myself distracted. I watched you everyday in rehab for 30 days, and came out sober and with an incredible ability to hear and write music. I have left and abandoned many things and people but those things and people were never you. I'm two months sober now and I don't want to say that your the reason I'm sober but ur the reason I have the ability to create music which keeps me sober. I remember the first NF reaction, I was at a very low point, but now I'm here watching this a completely sober and happy man and you were truly one of the key factors to get me there. When I mean you did so much for me I mean I would instantly pick to see you if I had the opportunity to see any celebrity. U helped me change my life and I got so emotional watching this. I don't comment much but know you're out here doing a lot more than youll probably ever know. Thank you

[@YourFeelingsDontMatter-ec7th]

I did the exact same thing but only did 4 days in detox because that’s all my insurance would cover sadly but that was 2 weeks ago and I’m now on the right path. I’m still feeling some of the effects of the withdrawals but they are nowhere near as bad as they use to be and I have to give credit to Knox Hill, Jelly Roll, Joyner Lucas, NF, and Eminem as well as a few others and life has never looked more promising as when my eyes opened and I didn’t need to reach for my disease before getting out of bed in the mornings and while at work. I know you don’t know me but I’m very proud of you as are many others that do know you and the ones that have read this comment that you left. Keep up the strength and never give in to anything that can drag you back down 🙏🙏🙏.

[@SykoNerd]

[@somewhiteguy4197]

Thank you Knox for reacting to this song. I'm sure it's difficult listening to a song that brings up past memories from difficult times. I listened to the song last night and just cried from it bringing up past conversations and feelings I had with my mom while she was an addict during my childhood. Love and appreciate everything you do.

[@monicaelliott7628]

I just heard this song for the first time yesterday, and I almost cried. It's such a beautiful picture of addiction and recovery, and how the world, family members, society at large reacts to it. My fiance and I are both celebrating 4+ years of sobriety right now, but what a long and rough journey it was for us to get here. My brother is still in his active addiction along with my father, and I lost my mother to addiction a couple years ago as well though, so I can also speak from the perspective of someone struggling to love others through their addiction. That's also such a hard place to exist in as well. It's important to set loving boundaries so as not to enable another's addiction, but at the same time... We have to do our best to love each other through our struggles and addiction. Thank you Knox for this reaction. It really spoke to me. Sending healing vibes and prayers your way for the loss of your family member to addiction. You Are Not Alone 💙

this one hit me so hard. i have 27 months clean off drugs , off everything my self. i just lost my dad to this disease on november 14, plus ive lost more friends than i could count on two hands, its crazy. but we just gotta rise above and keep going which is what i do everyday. great reaction knox. my prayers are with you and your family, so sorry about your cousin. ❤

[@JennC1211]

Sorry for your loss knox! This track is spot on!! Speaking as someone who has personally been through it from each perspective I lost my sister to an overdose in Aug of 2017. She was my best friend and was more of a mother to me than my actual mother. I witnessed the impact her addiction had on our family and her daughter. I'm also an addict myself. Been clean since August of 2019 (almost 5 years) ❤ when I lost my sister we weren't on good terms because of some hurtful things she said to me during an argument. She reached out to me 2 weeks before her overdose apologizing and because I was still hurt I didn't respond. Still my biggest regret in life.

[@CriddyReacts]

As someone who battled addiction for 6 years n have been clean for 7 lost both my best friends and family. I've seen both sides. Joyner hit this song right on the head! Beautiful and truthful.... YOU CAN GET THROUGH IT, I PROMISE!! 🙏🏽💪🏽💯

[@colinwhitehead4180]

I absolutely love this song. I have been an active addict that completely agrees with this song and everything knocks said about it. I am now almost 4 years clean off opiates. The reason I was able to get clean is 2 fold first having a good reason to be clean. Witch was my Daughter who I had not seen in a couple years asking me and my wife to be at her grad the other was having my wife there to get clean with me. Knocks I want to say I love your channel and content please keep bringing us all this amazing stuff and keep up with the amazing reactions.

This song really hit me and your reaction did as well everything you said is 100% true I just lost my dad two weeks ago to an overdose and everything you said is spot on. I fought with him on an off for years to a point where I finally had to move to a different state and block him because I couldn’t deal with it anymore, we found a journal of his where he said that he was tired of hurting the people he loved but he was hurting and depressed this is definitely not what he wanted to be but couldn’t help it. I’m just hoping he’s pain-free now.

[@jordanleechance4516]

[@charlespendley6360]

Man I'm 2 and half years clean. I'm actually in tears writing this. Jelly roll was my go to when I got to rehab 2 and half years ago. I took me losing everything house, wife and kids. One day my daughter called me as I was getting high after not talking to me for a year. That call made me realize I what I needed to do. Today I have my kids back and that's all that matters to me. I used some kind of drugs for over 20 years. Is it hard, yes? But is it worth it to get clean? Hell, yes.

First of all I am so sorry for your loss! This made me emotional. I have 2 brothers that are addicts, and my parents too. Not sure how I made it out without being one too, but I did.

I hope his walk home was a peaceful one 🕊️🕊️. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 react🙏🏽

[@leslieballard9709]

I absolutely love this song. Period. I grew up with a mother who is addicted to all kinds of medication’s because she had had cancer when I was three and never really got off the pills. I’m 42 and she just passed away in November due to complications of years of addiction. And I did have to let her go decades ago because I had children and I couldn’t let my children be around that. But what I really wanna say I really want my message to be is that it’s not always about getting high I think people who have never dealt with addiction whether it be them or a close family member think it’s about getting high. When in my experience, it’s about escaping reality. It’s usually to forget trauma even just for a few hours. I think that’s important for people to know. Thanks, Knox.

[@suesee4855]

Powerful. I love how the meaning of stay starts with those addicted, then moves to those around them who don't help or "stay" ... Much love ❤️ Sue

Knox never fails to have the best reactions. He always catches the deeper meanings and connections that everyone else misses.

[@HumbleSoul8087]

Being a recovering sober addicted for 20yrs. I understand the pain and suffering that addiction brings upon one's life. It's a mental struggle everyday, but for me it was the dependency and withdrawals that kept me addicted...Inner peace and determnation needs to come from within....Keep pushing and find value within one's self to gain control...

[@Hana-fe5ws]

It's incredibly admirable of you to share and talk about your own experience , to anyone going through it, you have this

[@heathernicole3655]

This one broke me. It brought back so many arguments with my brother before he died from his addiction.

[@Weirjetwashing]

Knox your explanation of your cousins addiction is unbelievable to listen to as an addict myself to hear someone understand why people are addicts. We have low self esteem. We feel we don’t fit in we struggle with day to day life. And when we try and run life on our own we run it into the ground. That’s why we need to hand out life over ever morning to a power greater than us. For me it’s that thought that comes in when you know you are about to do wrong. That thought that says don’t do that is god and I always listen to that thought these days.

[@Bigrig_trmc]

This got to me to broski I listened to it on repeat my whole way home from work after hearing it the first time Monday and cried the whole way home.. such a beautiful song!!🎉❤❤❤

[@brentalbee570]

appreciate you for opening up with your story.. it's not easy but you make it look effortless

[@Loctorak]

Hey man really appreciate you sharing about your cousin, I'm sorry to hear that. I also appreciate your take on the whole "its a disease" thing and relying on it as the only way of getting a sense of normality - as someone who's struggled with drugs for about 15yrs now, I don't do it to hurt people that i love or because I don't care... i do it to stop myself from hurting because it seems like caring about stuff is all I seem to do, even if it doesn't matter to anyone else.

[@hockeyman8799able]

Thanks, Knox. Addiction is dealing with demons every minute of everyday. Especially, when you're clean and sober. Some people still believe it's a choice. It's truly a constant struggle through life. Sorry, what your family went through

[@T-Man_865]

This track hit me really hard. Ive lived that life for many years. Ive been sober for several years..but when u are stuck in that cycle it is so lonely. All u have are demons keeping u company. I hope this song reaches people and helps people to better understand their loved ones. Im lucky to be here today. Most of the friends i loved are no longer here.

Knox I work with men who are in recovery. You are right there is a lot they have to battle with outside of their addiction. Oftentimes, it’s shame, inadequacy, codependency, guilt, unresolved grief, among many other things. We try to address each of those components that are lacking and shore them up. The drugs tend to simply be a crutch to not feel the feelings or face the things they don’t know how to. It doesn’t always work unfortunately, but it is certainly worth the effort. RIP your cousin, brother.

Got me crying..Your personal story to the song it self. Cause I got someone who was addicted to cigarettes and I was doing the same as Joyner... Strong man

8:10..sorry Knox I had to step away, it hit..deep on many levels. 22 Years an Addict, 20 years of Loved Ones, Friends and Family lost to my addiction both my Parents, my Uncle and my Grandfather passed never knowing a truly Sober me.. Including the Love of my Life. This is..rough man. She walked away with 3 " I love you's" but she couldnt help me and she did not want to be a victim of my addiction any more. I am Sober now, 13 Years and my only Goal is to show her how she changed me from a boy to a man.

Bro, your story about your cousin touches me to my soul. Just a couple of months after I got out of rehab my cousin lost his life to addiction. His family is so supportive of me but it's hard for me... survivor's guilt I guess. Thank you for another 🔥 reaction and for sharing your story. Much love to you and your family. Sorry for your loss bro.

Loved your reaction to this song, thank you for sharing as well. It hit me when you said "there's nothing wrong with you, there's nothing wrong with who you are as a person-it's the addiction".

Goosebumps is what this song gives me.

Glad I saw ur version. Not many understand addiction without going thru it. Im sorry you do brotha. Everyone else talkin bout its not a disease as well, but rehab teaches them it is, and myself. Who knows. Im OK today. but for decades I wasent. Knox a goat reactor.

I wish the ones i had lost had a chance to hear this before they passed.

Joyner expressed both side of coins man. He flipped the coin and made sure it landed straight

[@sethmartinez6231]

Damn man, I'm in rehab and today is 11 days clean. I really needed that message at the end. Thank you.

One thing ill add to that beautiful heartfelt speech at the end is if you are supporting someone who is going through this please dont be scared to ask for help yourself too. If you are struggling you cant help them. If you get help coping then you will be in a better place and better epuipped to help them. And anyone who is going through addiction i know it seems impossibe but its not. There is help and it will be hard but it is possible. There is hope even when it seems like there isnt. Also. Knox I hope you are doing ok. This must have been so hard to film and bringing it all back but thankyou for releasing this it will help so many. Lots of love. ❤
