I've had a few reactors now reach out wanting to understand more on this subject. Exactly why I made this vid. If you need advice or questions answered DM me on insta @knoxhilldmv 🙌

[@user-zu9cw2xq7f]

Radio DJs don’t bring trusted insight & interest to artists like the reactors! 🎤 🎶

[@nathanlefebvre-od8ii]

if u dont mind me asking what songs did he copyright from you?

[@bgd0282]

Sounds like y'all should get together and do a class action...it'll def help with cost of legal fees if it's split between everyone that brings the suit.

[@rogeliocamargo9504]

You would do the same if it happened to your music and you didn't like what they said. Reacting is not a real career option. You are trying to make money on talking about someone else's artistic creation. Not trying to attack or anything, this is just my opinion. And I am not a singer or reactor.

[@gizzypop2244]

@@rogeliocamargo9504You are missing his point though. The reaction videos are creations on their own, they aren’t a way for reactors to “leech off” of someone else’s creation. By your logic, an art history teacher shouldn’t be able to make money, because their work consists of talking about other people’s creation, and that their labour of learning the history of that artist, the creation process, the artistic references, and then turning all that information into education for students is not actually their labour- it somehow all belongs to the artist. These people don’t just watch the video and talk about their feelings. They break songs down, they provide NEW content that is educational and entertaining by way of UNIQUE analysis. Not like that analysis was part of the song and produced by the artist in the digestible form that reactors present information in. I hope this analogy makes it clear to you how reactors are content creators of their own right. I am also not a content creator, I just enjoy their work and want them to be able to get fair compensation for their labour.

[@NoLifeShaq]

Great video my boi. Like you said we all gotta come together as one with these labels. One person can’t do it💯 Fair use has always been a problem on YT for the 7 years I been here.

[@Lucaz99]

Remember the Adpocalypse? That’s what caused this currently screwed up copyright system, there’s many reasons that KZbin aka Google don’t want to go there. Mostly because it’s probably gonna lose them money either way. Agreed it is revolting

[@DaltonBurrowsz]

You must’ve missed the adpocalypse

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

that's standard KZbin

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

That's kind of my take away. I mean, WTF? Why would YT make life hard for the creators driving up views on their platform? It seems counterproductive since the ultimate end could be creators abandoning the platform.

[@Cevichelicious]

100% agreed. Some other reactors just play the video and nod along.. But you continously pause, break it down..talk waaaay longer than the clip. Noone is opening your video to listen to the song, theyre watching your video to see your analysis and reaction. It is 100% fair use

[@KnoxHill]

Exactly

[@jacobholley6181]

I understand but I’ve seen a lot of channel after the fact just regurgitate other rap breakdown channels at the beginning of the rap beef so to me it does suck for reactions but at the end of the day I think they should be happy about getting exposure from this because of the increased exposure

[@Dredaybay]

And they paid him for that no?

[@MasterIceyy]

@@KnoxHill It's obvious it's UMG attacking sizeable youtubers, there's millions of KZbin shorts, Tiktoks and more using Not Like Us that are not being stricken, only the relatively large hip-hop/music reactors.

[@Cevichelicious]

@@Dredaybay only for a bit, we shouldn't be thankful to UMG for only essentially stealing a portion of Knox's earnings instead of all of it. That's the whole point of fair use. As long as the argument can be made that Knox's content is transformative he should 100% be able to profit of it regardless of UMGs opinion.

[@harryalimi7866]

That's a way to see it, but from what I can see it's just the channel of a man who started rapping for attention but failed, then tried to switch to a gaming channel that also failed and in the end decided to change again his content for the laziest possible content: using other peoples hard work to make a living of them

[@CCElevator328]

​@@harryalimi7866 Maybe could say that about some reaction channels, but the sheer knowledge base he has and/or the research he does to do these reactions is way more than just riding someone else's coat tails.

[@Anthony-df2ez]

If any music reactor deserves monetization its Knox. 95% of the music reactor channels are just screaming "OHHHH DID HE JUST SAY THAT SHIT" to the most obvious 2-3 bars of the song and thats it. Most of the lyrics completely go over their head and they dont care to mention the finer details like he mentioned in this video. The flow switches, inside rhyme schemes, entendres etc. I used to listen to other reactors for the hype but when I came across this channel I could not go back to any other channel simply because no one does these breakdowns even half as good as he does, and it makes me appreciate artists amd their work that much more.

[@SRGoldfish]

How couldn’t anyone say “you should be thankful” You’re literally on both sides of the coin on this one. Not to many people get it like u get it. I appreciate you.

[@rekeje5618]

Thanks, Knox, for this. It's a start. I appreciate it 🙏

[@ravigabri1842]

I started appreciating and following rap only because of Knox. I now listen to a whole lot more rap so it’s true what he says, he drives people to the labels.

[@TheSpoonman00]

UMG = Lucian Grainge = "Lucy" in To Pimp a Butterfly.

[@astrology_2]

Wait a minute… it all makes sense now.

[@thereduxi0n97]

Damn 😔

[@bmtunite931]

if this aint a joke, u need to take the tinfoil hat off lmao

[@TheSpoonman00]

@@bmtunite931 Is it really that big of a reach, though? UMG is where the money is in the music industry, but when you sign that contract, you do their bidding. And that usually means sacrificing artistic integrity for the sake of profit.

[@aria4830]

For sale hits different too, all things considered. Ugh. I hate the industry.

[@danig2029]

I've found quite a few artists and bands(that I follow) because of the reactors I follow and watch regularly. The reactors opened that door. The labels should be thankful.

100% I never appreciated rap music. Until I found your Channel.

Ironic

[@drjonesey5]

That's cool, but it seems like a self imposed limitation. This would be like me saying I never appreciated orchestral, D&B, Alt Rock, Jazz etc until I found channels related to them. I'm a Black man who grew up in the hood, I didn't limit myself to just Hip hop. I have literally thousands of songs in my head. I downloaded like 550 Hip hop only tracks in the past 3 weeks and that's not even close to all I know. I listen to whatever I like to hear from Beethoven to Liquid D&B to Anime soundtracks to Hip hop and even Native American Flute music. I was listening to the theme of Hell Divers 2 "A cup of libertea" yesterday and I don't even play the game. If you like music, explore, it's art, it's dope. Some of my favorite songs are Hero Chou by Jay Chou from the King Fu Dunk movie that came out in 2008 it's a Chinese song. Real Folks Blues form Cowboy Bebop anime by Yokko Kanno, Moby Trouble So hard and Batman v Superman Soundtrack - Beautiful lie and Never enough by Lauren Allred. I'm going to go listen to 30 Seconds to Mars beautiful lie now.

[@cactusjuice8277]

​​@@drjonesey5beautiful lie by 30 seconds to Mars is a really good song. I used to listen to it allot back then. It's slept on.

[@milkiekittie6659]

@@LAsFinest310they only care about rap when a yt person breaks it down for them

[@sarasweightlossjourney1432]

If anybody deserves to not be demonetized it's you. There's not too many channels like yours that go over 20 minutes dissecting songs in every way shape or form.❤ That's why I love your content so much. Because you take something that's 3 to 4 minutes long and literally break down everything and give your take and your professional opinion etc

[@dianeemanuel8541]

Your work has given me the understanding to appreciate artists I’d never considered listening to - let alone being a fan of. The artists should appreciate quality reactors like yourself. ❤

[@-Manda_SKnight_BeastMoD]

Talk yo shit, Knox!!!

Clif, Shaq, and now Knox? Talk about avanger assemble but are they powerful enough to take on UMG? Find out next time on Reactor Ball Z

[@mthunziphakathi4215]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@blackflagsnroses6013]

Shaq was talking about being grateful too.

[@MasterIceyy]

@@blackflagsnroses6013 Shaq is big enough to make enough from his views alone, where as a lot of youtubers will need the ad revenue as well. Sure we should be grateful that initially they were copyright free, now however the gratefulness ends when they stop being gracious

[@newdeoterent1340]

i will say that when i see one of your videos that i want to watch; like a song from an artist or genera that listen to that usually doesnt get much recognition or a song that i didnt know released that i want to listen to, I will open your video pause it before it starts and then go find the original listen to it and then watch the breakdown. makes me appreciate the fancy beeps and boops that i like listening to.

[@jacquinwebb8784]

Thanks for the knowledge

[@DJSIXCO]

Akademik is compromised; why is he around? Certified spokesman? Certified LAIR.

[@weirdguy1495]

He's basically the Drake of the reaction community at this point. Everyone and their mothers hate this dude.

[@Kaeg]

He is hella compromised. For a joker who has never actually met him, AK is doing way too much glazing of Drake.

[@aria4830]

I'm glad his video got claimed. Ak was showing both cheeks throughout all this.

I’m sorry to hear this Knox…. We appreciate all your heard work dude

[@Cash_Drizzy]

before knowing ur channel rap for me was just some people talking in a rush. after watching your deep dives i have so much appreciation for rap and how artists are able to use this form of expression to manipulate the english language. Honest to god without your videos i would never have gotten into rap and been able to enjoy it as i do now. These big bullies sometimes are soooo money hungry that they miss the point. Success isnt just about how much money you make.

[@perfect.defect]

KZbin should protect you guys

[@ezrasmith6812]

agreed

[@astrology_2]

KZbin doesn’t care, hasn’t cared for years

[@sputukgmail]

YT is the problem. They created the system and built in all the issues. They have the power to fix it - BUT it would eat into their profits and they won’t do that unless they are forced. Content creators have to organise and boycott YT. It will hurt them individually but they money they could cost YT in lost ad revenue if they acted in unison would certainly be noticed.

[@anju5124]

​@@astrology_2I think KZbin only cares about making money.

[@wy100101]

Not going to happen. They are implementing the systems that they are required to implement to allow copyright claims. It is up the individuals to go after labels abusing copyright claims. A better question is why hasn't someone started a bunch of class action lawsuits or something similar. What they are doing is illegal but no one is going after them for massive settlements so...

[@jmbx7]

Respect to a fellow PG guy out here fighting the good fight. But also respect for not mentioning names while looking at the bigger picture.

[@kelliejones5956]

Watching you has opened me up to different music, and see music in new ways. Record labels should thank you's for opening people up to there artists. Love your content 👍👍

[@ytiralc]

Nail on the head with bringing more people to the artist. I've listened to so much of Kendricks music the past weeks, thanks to you specifically.

[@liriodendronlasianthus]

Same here. I've been listening to Mr Morale and all the new songs to get a feel of the lyrics.

[@SykoNerd]

[@michaelgoyettemusic]

My channel is a reaction/ musical breakdown channel…..and I totally hear what you’re saying. We are powerless individually….. I stand with you and fellow reactors in making things fair for those of us creating transformative content.

[@victorthequick]

There’s so many songs and artist I’ve got put on because of a reaction video, I think you nailed it when you said that you should be seen as an ally of anything.

[@DavidHernandez-ru1on]

I appreciate your creativity and hard work, bro! I also appreciate your honesty and I agree with your comments!

Much love to you Knox ❤️

[@snickerslotionflavor9961]

Good for speaking out on this. I've seen others like Nolifeshaq make a video about this. Good that we don't blame Kendrick himself.

[@Emma_S226]

you do exceptional breakdowns. even this video, not even breaking down music, you are breaking down this fk'd up system. we love you, Knox.

[@FYSITL]

Hope things will be all cleared, Knox. Learned a ton from your videos

[@endervatta9907]

I don’t want to down play the Jay Rocs or scru face, robtv, or shaq but Knox actually breaks these bars down. If you have to pick one creator who is the most “transformative” in their reactions it has to be him.
