[@TheUltimateShade667]

Nerdcore tends to be dismissed because its usually rappers acting as characters (which is weird cuz most rappers are rapping as characters even when talking about themselves), but it gives a certain freedom that is absent from traditional rap. I relate to these anime characters as much as I relate to dudes doing drugs and shooting guns so I get the benefit of rappers using all their creativity without the supposed downsides.

[@theperson8539]

I dunno why, but people that don’t watch Anime don’t understand the pure adrenaline high of the hype and audacity of the genre. They discount it cuz American Animation is either kid’s shows or satire with little to no creativity in terms of animation. Anime is in a league of its own, and sometimes, you need an equally insane beat to exemplify how bada** it really is.

[@johnathanroth6205]

I guarantee you have zero relation to "dudes shooting guns and doing drugs". Is that what you think rap is lmao

[@gexianhen]

it also have a added benefit, people who dont know about rap but liek anime could watch this and enjoy it, maybe even get interested in thsi kind of music from a nice video like this

[@TheUltimateShade667]

@@johnathanroth6205 Yeah, thats what I said. I relate the same to both. Which is fantasy.

[@TheUltimateShade667]

@@gexianhen Its true. I like the lyricism in rap. But I don't care for the topics. With Nerdcore I get to listen to good rapping and its actually about something I care about.

[@zenyatta9133]

For the third person (Eustass Kid/ Connor Quest) the whole thing I liked with the metal related lines is thats basically the character since he controls metals and magnetic pulls, also for the Basil Hawkins part, that character was him so you were right on that part

[@stevefurrier9932]

I thought it's a reference to Basil Exposition on Austin Powers

[@thanossnap4170]

As good as the bars are, it's even crazier when you know about One Piece. All the characters are rapping to what powers they have (or the position they're in), in addition to the crazy schemes themselves. This is so good!

[@abdessamilawanni4147]

Exactly man like some really dope bars from all the rappers. It shows how much work they've put in the cypher.

[@MrSkittlesPK]

YESSIR!!! Knox doing Nerdcore is amazing to me. I love whenever he catches a bar. I would recommend Okay by Rustage or Good bye by Rustage, both amazing and emotional tracks by Rustage. Zach B: Heart and soul is also relatable. DPS: Split is about Moon Knight and a fucking great song!

[@thighgraine]

He's already done Split by DPS on a stream, can't remember which one tho

[@TheUltimateShade667]

Heart and soul is god tier

[@azurewriter8347]

Rustage in general

[@scallywagdeef]

mc chris is the best nerd rap

[@okboomerbutitsacat8050]

if we going for rhyme schemes though, rustage's eren jaeger and rengoku raps go insane with inner rhymes.

[@Hollwdvngc]

I'm so glad u did this one

[@Faish]

took the words right out of my mouth

[@theperson8539]

Has he done the DB Super one? With the UI theme?

[@AVRGWIBWTHACN]

We really need to get this man to watch some anime, we can’t have him missing bars like this

[@funwithme675]

Very true

[@shadowbuddy8034]

I know this may get drowned out but Shwabadi has some really dope ones you should check, like the Beasts of Anime rap cypher, Look Like Death, and Ranking of Kings

[@TPaether]

This. Like all of theese

[@xaviervoytek6325]

Don't forget I want Violence that one always pumps me up

[@clumsy_headphones]

I’ve been waiting for you to react to this! To answer your question, the character Shao is rapping as is named X Drake. Also, if you checked the description of the video it shows the names of the characters from the anime and who their rapppers are (this is also at the beginning of the video). Hope this helps!

[@oskarnogalski8178]

15:32 I know you didn’t catch the bar, but when he said “Black Air Force style, stepping like CJ”, that’s not actually a show reference, but a KZbin reference to CJ Dachamp and his series on the Black Air Force Energy characters in anime. Great series if you want to hear about straight diabolical behavior in anime explained in hood English

[@MercenaryPen]

I'd recommend "Fiend like me", "The fine print" and "Rest Employed" by the Stupendium- more from the gaming side of nerdcore than the anime side, but all have a message that extends beyond the game, and all are lyrical masterclasses

[@frozennunu8097]

These are great Stupendiums Cyberpunk Song also has great writing with more political aspects that dont rely on the game too much

[@oneboreddad1019]

Agreed, pretty much everything from Stupendium is AAA (in a good way...not an EA way). That said, it isn't quite as rap-centric but I'd still argue everyone should listen to their song 'Shine Through' at least once! I'd probably throw Slide into the Void and/or Most Fashionable Faction in the mix also (there really are just too many good choices)

[@apossiblyhereticalalphaleg3595]

@@oneboreddad1019 You can basically recommend anything in the Stupendium discography and rest assured that it's probably good

[@seanspiering1926]

The Stupendium also did a Spamton song that was INSANE! Legit, AD INFINITUM is one of his best songs, but it's a LOT to break down; especially if you understand the undertones. I would enjoy seeing Knox tackle that one.

[@Yuki_Ika7]

Also "The house always wins" if he has not reacted it it yet

[@joehaen9373]

Ham Sandwich's Femboy Cypher goes dummy

[@errexe0]

...thicc

[@djmead2701]

Dizzy's Black Air Force Cypher is by far my favorite cypher, would love to see you react to it!

[@Mori_Nyx]

That would take like 20 years I'd still watch it tho

[@fork6057]

Heat

[@djmead2701]

​@Crazy TV Oh for sure, I would definitely would a long ass video of him breaking down that Cypher. Need to get him to breakdown some Ty Wild verses, something like on Shwab's Twilight

[@kermitthefrog7963]

Still waiting on that femboy cypher reaction lol

[@asethon4430]

@@djmead2701 bro, i thought the same thing. Ty is Wild💀.

[@cyongarr]

Ain't no way people missed that "Black Air Force Style, Stepping Like CJ" reference to CJ Da Champ, that was cold

[@formeme2290]

God I fucking love nerdcore but especially Rustage and this cypher

[@StarManSean]

YESS!! Knox is doing more Nerdcore tracks!! Keep them coming man! There are a lot of fire tracks out there waiting for you to react to! I’d recommend Rustage’s Beerus rap and DaddyPhatSnaps Goku rap!

[@TarkusLives]

This is one of my fav nerdcore cyphers, great reaction

[@ryanbagley3293]

Imma continue to bump the idea of Shwabadi’s Beast cyphers, they are still some favs of mine!

[@majinsole8554]

Love your breakdowns on these and how you recognize the skill that goes into crafting them- I’m here for it! The three forks in the road is a reference to that Character, Zoro, and his use of Three Sword Style. If you think you’re ready for it, you can do last year’s #1 Cypher: Femboy of Anime Cypher aka Femboy Firing Squad by Ham Sandwich. ~_~

[@Yuki_Ika7]

Agreed, Femboys of anime Cypher is unironically peak

[@xDafoolx]

That u.k. flow you talked about was for "Bege" a prominent side character who the one piece creator took inspiration from Al Capone. Thought you might appreciate that reference Knox.

[@austinsinger7565]

AS a huge One Piece fan I'm loving this so much! The first part is about Law, who the captain of the Heart Pirates.

[@mrcallahans3041]

Gotta see you dissect the Makima Rap from Rustage and Saa, They went crazy on that

[@Sarahjane07]

I love that you're doing this! Please consider doing more like this it's so good

[@chickenhunter9474]

I love that you stepped up to this side of music. i recommend daddyphatsnaps he has lot of good raps. for example the jotaro rap „Drip“ or the levi rap „Captain“ or kirishima rap „unbreakable“ which is one of his best songs

[@mugiwarated6319]

You react to nerdcore, I’m here every time. Love your breakdowns, even if you don’t get every bar your knowledge of the technical end of what is happening is just fantastic.

[@Epicesify]

Rustage just made a rap with someone named SAA and its incredible. You gotta check it out, its his Makima rap.

[@adamvanhoose6999]

I’m so glad you did this Cypher man good looks, it has my favorite “nerdcore” artist, Khantrast, you oughta check him out!

[@fork6057]

Khantrast is so nice. Love his verses

[@asart2387]

The character that Show Doe plays in this is X Drake, formerly known as Dory Drake. He literally crossed out the name Dory to remove any connection between him and his father. So bars, "For F's sake, X marks the Drake" and "You can find one piece, but you'll never find a Dory." Are both plays on his name. Also, there is another character named Dory, who in the eyes of the government has been missing for 100 years, and the only people who know his location are the main crew. I don't think the last bar was also supposed to connect to Dory and Braggy, but it did.

[@Mori_Nyx]

One artist that you might be interested is Fabvl, hes not a rapper but he makes some cool stuff

[@alextompkins4041]

if you want a cypher, i would check out ham sandwich "F.F.S." or breeton boi "Sorcery Fight!" if you want a song, i would check out daddyphatsnaps' "What's Your Type?" or peso pete "Rob Lucci"

[@PortgasDdude]

I'm glad you give those guys some respect for their writing and stuff and don't just call it off as some 'Catoon-Rap' or stuff :) If you would like to continue with some Rustage stuff in the kind of same genre......... I suggest 'Yonko Cypher' and 'Bount by Blood'.

[@GYagizaK]

react to more daddyphatsnaps or fabvl or divide Chainsaw man savage Shigiraki villain arc Omni man rap Moonwalker by fabvl Rebel bakugo Demon to a ghost Vegeta say my name Or yea just pls keep reacting to nerdcore

[@plushzenitsu]

I'd recommend the Makima rap!! It's very recent and both Rustage and Saa went crazy hard on that it's probably his best song of the year so far!

[@Terumi_is_God]

We definitely need the cam steady Pokémon raps cyphers

[@CSBIBLE21]

omg yes i've been waiting for this reaction for so long!

[@curtishenry7926]

Okay the next Cypher I think you should react to is "The Beasts of Anime" cypher by Shwabadi

[@baselevelslime]

Awesome Reaction Knox, If you are interested in a more funny but still awesome Cypher I would recommend the Muppets Cypher by The Stupendium. Some of the Nerdcore Guys (like Shwabadi or Connor Quest) are on it as well. A lot of people with awesome writing and rhyme schemes combined with a lot of fun.

[@nunyabiznez9597]

We must up vote this! I so want to see and hear Knox dissect the Unlikely Cypher for an hour! No one else pays attention to the beat and the undertones

[@kakonoteouji4876]

Rustage also does a One Piece dnd and a Isekai dnd campaign on his KZbin channel and Twitch.

[@juggalogingah]

Glad to see more "regular rappers" giving the vibes a chance. Some suggestions I could give are DPS, Mir Blackwell, Golden EMP, Breeton Boi, Divide Music, HalaCG, Chi-Chi, and Dan Bull for a good mix on what the community has. Lot of different styles both musically and production wise for a medley of vibes. Also one of my personal favorite up and coming artist is Darrnell Bradley, once he gets his mixing and shit a bit more developed he's gonna be a problem

[@brafx]

a tuning fork fits the "fork in the road" reference it shapes like a long U

[@stevefurrier9932]

12:50 Bro said something about Basil,then "Opposition think they are damaging me- Basil Opposition was i think a tech guy in Austin Powers. I only now got this reference

[@Vivid_Sky23]

Personally my favorite cypher ever beat is so crazy everyone went off

[@jordanpickering6912]

You gotta check out Daddyphatsnaps Tengen Uzui rap "Flashy", dude song trended around the world and the flow crazy and switches

[@chrisfoley1961]

I loved this reaction, good man. Next, you need to listen to Twilight by Shwabadi ft Ty Wild and Yayu

[@zadaboujaoude]

We need this one

[@Loremaster28]

FUCK YEAH MORE NERDCOR! YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT DPS AKA (DADDY PHAT SNAPS)

[@DrC4Prez]

It's so wild seeing Rustage's work being reacted to because even though I know he gained his following through his music, I primarily know him as the Dungeon Master for One Piece D&D 😂

[@simplicityyttt]

The supernova (or the worst generation) are a band of rookie pirates with a bounty over 100mil. Trafalgar d. water law, Eustass "Captain" kid, Redflag x Drake, Killer, Jewelry Bonney, Mad Monk Urouge, Marshall d. teach (also known as black beard), Basil Hawkins, Scratchmen Apoo, Capote "gang" Bege, Roronoa Zoro and last but not least, Monkey d. luffy. (I was thinking about not putting in Teach and Luffy cuz they're yonkos now lol)

[@celestialdivineinstinct59]

Let’s gooo! This is what I was waiting for baby! Please react to Rustage Alucard Blood rap , Eren Eyes on Me rap, Gojo Running in Blind rap, Shigaraki Dust rap, and his Light Yagami Fear My Touch rap song next, which are a few of his best rap songs hits🙏. Also love the breakdowns man!

[@Arizrainnnn]

We gotta get a Warlord Cypher and a Yonko Cypher both by Rustage. Or if you wanna go more old school the Akatsuki or Hokage Cypher by Rustage

[@SirKnight_]

Hey knox loved your reaction and breakdown but for the part at 17:01 the punches gear three bar refers to luffy's ability called third gear where he makes his hands or feet massive and hits someone also would love if you checked out the anime duos cypher or some fabvl especially his song called world i never knew

[@animecrypt4737]

you should react to rustages album Overflow, his nerdcore is great but the album he put out is something I think you'd love, and be able to understand slightly more cause there isn't many anime references though there are a few

[@michaeltate6367]

Love seeing you react to nerdcore stuff. Heavily recommending the Femboys of Anime Cypher. Pretty much every verse goes ham, and there are some crazy awesome moments

[@darkkitsune7757]

If we're talking about Nerdcore then for me I feel like you should react to The Femboy Anime Cypher by Hamsandwich the Beasts of Anime Cypher by Shwabadi and Blackbeard! by PE$O PETE

[@uksoloz]

Great to see you on this would love to see you dive into Dan bulls stuff haha but ya great break down man

[@TheDrokz]

ok late to see this... but i just love how the alcapone guy just slowed down the cypher for us to get a breath... is sooo good when this happns cause we were into hard, hard, hard... chill and buid up again...

[@Sekooma]

Caught Basil Hawkins though!😂 This is the best anime cypher probably, sensei cypher from Gameboyjones is another crazy one, oldie though. Cyphers aside there are too many great songs to recommend. I will put out there Heathens from Ham Sandwich featuring Ty Wild, who is a mad talented rapper is all I'm gonna say. Then work from there if you feeling it.

[@amylimaaa]

Freeced is also certified dino legend of the community with the ‘dinosaur - hi freeced’ bar from Shao 10/10 lil reference

[@oneboreddad1019]

Nice! Some of these verses have stuck in my head since it was released but I always forget how solid everyone was throughout. Not sure if you are wanting to jump on another Rustage right away, but his newest 'Command' is pretty great...features Saa, who by the end has more or less broken most reactors I've watched so far!

[@Pheonix0324]

This is my favorite anime cypher

[@NameIsNeb]

You should do an analysis in one of TheManBeHisLa's raps! A very underated artist. My favorite is his rap about Luffy's new transformation, Gear 5 (Or Sun God Nika)

[@mastokbreedtbg1398]

11:05 Pete and Bas, The Old Estate flow to start..... Love it

[@nunyabiznez9597]

Please do the Stupendium's UNLIKELY CYPHER. It has Shwabadi and Connor Quest too. It is super dense and deep but funny and upbeat.

[@GodlyGarroth]

Love the reactions! Please do a Daddyphatsnaps reaction! Over the top, Red hood, Switch, etc. All of his music is a masterpiece!

[@thegoogliarch]

13:15 The guy who's mentioned to have polysyllabic flows, Khantrast, is slick as hell. You've gotta check out more of his stuff. I'd recommend his and Rustage's Beerus rap, it's sick. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnu2pqCOob-ZbNUsi=SKMeNtbMPA30vKMQ Khan just kinda slays every track imo. I haven't heard anything bad yet.

hey Knox, great reaction and breakdown may i suggest you reacting to nerdcore anime you watched? you can break down bars and references you know, getting a great reaction.

[@akumaakabane5276]

the doc marten line is still one of my favourite in nerdcore it is just the smoothest triple i have ever heard with war doc hurt as i in john hurt who played the war doc and war doc as in Trafalgar and also the doc marten which is the obvious one

[@megashuckleyt8098]

Anything Zach B I recommend highly like Broken or Heart and Soul

[@jakecorley8416]

Upchurch Monster Max 1. He’s dropping multiple songs at a time. You’re the best reaction channel

[@Darren655]

Knox just do a deep dive of Rustage's work man he has some amazing pieces out there

[@XNaos]

You need to react to the Makima rap "Command" song from Rustage with SAA. This song is soo good

[@flqw3d40]

I’m amazed the entire comment section isn’t people explaining the anime references

[@killfull075]

i wish he could understand the references because while most bars go hard they don’t even have a sexual innuendo or anything it’s a reference from the show like “bricked up castle” the guy can literally turn into a castle/fortress that’s his power

[@rougiyatadiallo5466]

I'm lovin' this, u. Rustage is one of my favorite Nerdcore. Can u react to his Sannin rap and his second Shounen Cyper 🙏💯🔥

[@uksoloz]

Ooh and for Rustage I’d say the war lords one is a good pick for the next one haha

[@athosanime]

Love the way you break them down and explain man

[@karmatitan1627]

[@stevefurrier9932]

12:51 Bro said basil,and stg about opposition.Which rhymes to Basil Exposition's name who was an Austin Powers character

[@JoeyWut]

Some recommendation's for Rustage reactions. Blood (Alucard Rap) Dust (Shigaraki Rap) and Copy (Kakashi Rap) are some personal favs. Also Got to do some Daddyphatsnaps and Fabvl soon.

[@bamarag]

I love that you're diving into nerdcotr like this!

[@Deja_drew01]

I think the Allosaur-us line is playing on the British accent pronunciation of "saw us" sound like it has an 'r' like "sawr us"

[@bdk336]

Love the breakdown here but also wish you'd known their names going in so you could see the wordplay around their own names and the shade they were throwing at each other.

[@darthzayexeet3653]

Knox, you need to react to Rustage‘s and SAA‘s Makima Rap „Command“. One of their best ones imo

[@kingofthisearth1756]

It's nice to see that you're reacting to nerdcore. Its been getting bigger and bigger since the pandemic but most of the attention is focused on the bigger creaters like rustage or DPS. So can I request for you to react to a relatively smaller rapper like Ham Sandwich or the one piece goat Peso Pete

[@RayAkuma]

8:35 The X is also meant for the characters name being X-Drake(or Diez Drake)

[@damienorr4800]

If you check these out again check out kings of anime rap cypher it goes hard like really hard

[@LAOG100]

You need to react to the Pokemon Cypher 2019. Probably one of the best cyphers out there.
