Mike Shinoda is extremely talented. Love his beat work and his storytelling. His work in Linkin Park was my first introduction to him but his skill has drawn me more into hip hop than any other artists so I always give him props
So Mike Shinoda IS the producer. He ran this entire album passed Jay Z, Jay helped him get the song list down from like 25 to 17 songs. Red to Black is a boppppp. First time I heard it I thought it was Chester singin on it. Slip out the Back is another fantastic song, produced by Mr. HAAHHHHHNNN
@@CragusMaximus yeah. I was in college at the time and it completely slipped under my radar, my roommates brother was listening to it and I being a huge LP fan knew it was Mike the minute I heard it. Such a sick album
Mike Shinoda is actually the producer for Fort Minor. He's the one that made the beat for this song and a few others from the albums. Mike is super talented! That's why Chester and Mike were the perfect combo in Linkin Park! The rest of the band as well.
Fort Minor = Mike Shinoda. It wasn’t even a one-hit project, either, there were several hits on that album. Shinoda is lowkey one of the most successful songwriters/music producers of the last couple of decades.
Producer: Mike Shinoda, Jay-Z, Brad Delson (Linkin Park guitarist) Lyrics: Mike, Jay-Z Rapper: Mike and Styles of Beyond guys As Chester once said, Mike is the most talented songwriter of the generation
@@Shreysoldier Jay-Z was the Executive Producer for the album yes, which means he was in decisions for the business parts. And Brads job as A&R was to over see the recording process and finding talents for features. So he most likely got like John Legend, Holly Brook aka Skylar Grey etc and to assist with promotion and marketing.
You need to check out “Kenji”, “Where’d You Go?” and “Believe Me” by FM, and “Superstars” and “Nine Thou” by Styles of Beyond(the dudes Shinoda is rapping with here).
More Fort Minor: - In Stereo - Believe Me - Red To Black - Kenji The other two rappers in this video are Takbir and Ryu from Styles Of Beyond. I highly recommend their songs: - Take That - Gats n Party Hats - Kill'em in the face
How come Cigarettes Slip Out The Back Start It All Up ...and, basically, every other track from We Major mixtape, The Rising Tied album and Militia release is not on this list? Or maybe I'm fanboying too much... But then again, I don't think that there's such thing as overrating when it comes to Fort Minor.
And the shout out to Chester in the lyrics 'He's got a partner in crime; his shit is equally dope You won't believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kid's throat'. At least that is how I have always interpreted that line.
Back story to the album is that Mike Shinoda wanted to go back to his hip-hop roots and at the time he didn't think he could make real hip-hop in Linkin Park because they were still in their early days really of 2 albums and a collab album with Jay-Z. He called it Fort Minor because he wanted people to focus on the music he made rather that focus on him as a person and have people say "hey it's the dude from Linkin Park" he asked a few friends to ft on some of the songs like the two guys here from the group styles from beyond which were childhood friends of Mike and Holly Brook AKA Skylar Gray. The album is called rising tied, have listen even if not to make a video its worth a listen. He made another album that went along side it called we major which rap music over old school rock songs whit many ft's Then there Mike's Post Traumatic album in which he moves more to a pop and hip-hop music style. Mike for is the best musician alive. Not because he's the best at what he does but because he can do so much from hard rock, rap, pop and electronic. He produces all his stuff from Linkin Park to fort minor and hell knows how many instruments.
Mike Shinoda Is an amazing rapper. He proved his chops with Linkin Park but he cemented his place in rap history with his solo album. So sad that it doesn't get the same love as his Linkin Park days.
The other radio hit off this album was Where'd You Go. It's got a lit feature on the level of the Dido feature on Eminem's Stan. (Not that the tracks themselves are comparable, just the featured/sampled artists)
It's features Holly Brook now know as Skyler Grey who wrote the lyrics to that Eminem & Rhinna song Love the Way You Lie. She wrote that song that got so famous they sang. Skyler Grey also co wrote & guest sang on Diddy's "Coming Home", Dr. Dre's "I Need a Doctor", Nicki Minaj's "Bed of Lies", and Macklemore's "Glorious".
@@CragusMaximus not sure what that 1st part of your statement means? I did get a degree in Audio Production & I do work in the AV field, but okay. Either way, great production on The Rising Tied.
Red to Black is one of my top faves. I first heard around a time when both my parents lost their jobs and my mom just had my sister and I was taking care of her and my little brother a lot, so Red to Black and Where'd You Go hit hard for me personally.
I recommend you check out Mike Shinoda’s mixtape ZIGGURATS. It’s basically a really long 6 minute song broken down into like 4 parts (so I count it as a song rather than an album). Mike goes HARD with the lyrics I don’t think you’re ready for it 😂
Found your channel last night. Watched thunderstruck - paradise city and in the end reactions. You spoke about linkin park and my first thought was “this kid likes rap, I wonder what he will feel when he hears Mike shinoda and Fort Minor”. Your genuine reaction has been brilliant to witness and your curiosity and willingness to explore different genres is fantastic keep up the good work.
Mike's underdog , he is far better than Eminem. Every aspect of Mike is very unique. He does everything like a tough tongue twister, unique diction , unique rhyming, music , sync everything about Mike is unique. 🌹 Not a bias but if you listen to linkin park you will understand. They are one in this millennium. 🌹
Where'd You Go was also a massive hit. Was on the hip hop stations and shit. It didn't get as huge as this sing because yeah people use it for like sports event and motivational videos lmao but at the time Where'd You Go did get bigger because it reached a broader audience, then Remember the Name just always stayed beer left so it outlasted it and became a staple. Where'd You Go is a much more low key vibe but it's such a great song
I was the one who recommended it. 💯. Don’t matter as long as I get to see you review it it’s all good and yes I mentioned that Mike Shinoda was a part of it.
Listen to these by Fort Minor... KENJI: for feels and a new perspective of American history. Red to Black: absolute banger/beats! Mike tells a great story. Slip out the back: if u wanted a song to tell u fighting isn't worth it, with an incredible eerie atmosphere created with the backing track. 'Spray paint & ink pens' just for some 🔥 lyricism by Lupe fiasco. 2bh the whole album is worth a reaction 👌👌🔥
Takbir and Ryu (the other 2 guys rapping) are from an underground hip-hop group "Styles Of Beyond." you should peep their joints. 2000 Fold was a groundbreaking album.
Mike Shenandoah from Linkin Part!!! Listen to the whole album The Rising Tied. It's the best rap album ever & I've also said this to you too before. You never listen to me man.
Fort Minor is Mike Shinoda (from Linkin Park) and Ryu and Tak aka Styles of beyond (from Machine Shop), you gotta check out Believe me, Where'd you go, Petrified and Kenji
Since the beginning I wanted to see your face when you would have discovered that Fort Minor is Mike Shinoda. All his songs are really good. I suggest every song from Post Traumatic EP.
Fort Minor is hip-hop side-project by Mike. Before Linkin Park, Mike used to create hip-hop beats for his friends, used to create joke hip-hop songs with the band's original singer, Mark Wakefield. Then eventually him and Mark began writing hip-hop songs together then added rock to the mix by recruiting Brad Delson and the rest of the guys. Before the band was signed, Mike would still write hip-hop songs then when they started touring, he didn't really have time to write straight hip-hop music anymore as they're just translation into an traditional LP song. Then when LP took a break from touring and got into a legal battle with their label, Mike took the opportunity to rediscover his hip-hop roots. And Fort Minor is actually just Mike's alias as a solo-artist.
Those percentages are important. Can't make it without luck, that's why you gotta keep taking shots, but honing your talent is twice as important, and between all that you need the determination to make it through. But don't forget to love what you're doing. And even with all that, you're only half done. The rest is putting in the work.
I mentioned them to you once before, but it was a long time ago lol. So glad you finally got around to this. Linkin Park and Shinoda are my favorite artists of all time

![Fort Minor - REMEMBER THE NAME [ Reaction ] | UK REACTOR |](/img/tr.png)
Mike wanted a project that he could use his hip hop skills without affecting Linkin Park's discography or genre whatever
💯That's why he used them all.
The look on Jojo's face as he recognized Mike Shinoda
PRICELESS!!! 💜💜💜😁
I was waiting for it , it was priceless 😁😁😁
Mike Shinoda is extremely talented. Love his beat work and his storytelling. His work in Linkin Park was my first introduction to him but his skill has drawn me more into hip hop than any other artists so I always give him props
So Mike Shinoda IS the producer. He ran this entire album passed Jay Z, Jay helped him get the song list down from like 25 to 17 songs.

👌🔥 yeh bro 2 of my favs. Album means a lot to me. Blew me away back in like 06?
@@CragusMaximus yeah. I was in college at the time and it completely slipped under my radar, my roommates brother was listening to it and I being a huge LP fan knew it was Mike the minute I heard it. Such a sick album
yooo i used to listen to red to black on repeat back in day. kenji is also top tier
Fort Minor’s Kenji is a storytelling/educational song
Agreed.
Here here. An important one at that.
Oooh yeah, Jojo would love that one. Especially bc it's so educational
Yes, "Kenji" is amazing, one of my favorite songs.
One of the greatest rap songs ever in my opinion
Mike Shinoda is actually the producer for Fort Minor. He's the one that made the beat for this song and a few others from the albums. Mike is super talented! That's why Chester and Mike were the perfect combo in Linkin Park! The rest of the band as well.
RiP Chester
Mike IS Fort Minor, people have this misconception it's a group; it's not, it's Mike as a solo artist with a bunch of features.
Fort Minor = Mike Shinoda. It wasn’t even a one-hit project, either, there were several hits on that album. Shinoda is lowkey one of the most successful songwriters/music producers of the last couple of decades.
“Mike Shinoda created the most motivational song as a side project! What!?” 😂
Producer: Mike Shinoda, Jay-Z, Brad Delson (Linkin Park guitarist)
Lyrics: Mike, Jay-Z
Rapper: Mike and Styles of Beyond guys
As Chester once said, Mike is the most talented songwriter of the generation
Brad was not on credited as a songwriter on Remember The Name. Only Mike and Style And Beyonds.
Jay-Z was the A&R for the album.
@@guillaumeellby1859 I was speaking about the whole album that's why i mentioned Brad
@@ShreysoldierBrad is not credited for anything on the Rising Tide, but for Post-Traumatic, yes.
@@guillaumeellby1859 nah i saw at Linkinpedia that Jay-Z was the executive producer and Brad was the A&R
@@Shreysoldier Jay-Z was the Executive Producer for the album yes, which means he was in decisions for the business parts. And Brads job as A&R was to over see the recording process and finding talents for features. So he most likely got like John Legend, Holly Brook aka Skylar Grey etc and to assist with promotion and marketing.
Shoutout to the producer indeed, it was Mike Shinoda and Jay-Z.
You need to check out “Kenji”, “Where’d You Go?” and “Believe Me” by FM, and “Superstars” and “Nine Thou” by Styles of Beyond(the dudes Shinoda is rapping with here).
Fun Fact: Holly Brook who does the hook on “Where’d You Go?” is Skylar Grey
Yes! React to "Where'd You Go?"
This for sure
The 50% pain is to illustrate that worthwhile goals never come easy-- they test your endurance.
More Fort Minor:
- In Stereo
- Believe Me
- Red To Black
- Kenji
The other two rappers in this video are Takbir and Ryu from Styles Of Beyond.
I highly recommend their songs:
- Take That
- Gats n Party Hats
- Kill'em in the face
How come
Cigarettes
Slip Out The Back
Start It All Up
...and, basically, every other track from We Major mixtape, The Rising Tied album and Militia release is not on this list?
Or maybe I'm fanboying too much...
But then again, I don't think that there's such thing as overrating when it comes to Fort Minor.
And the shout out to Chester in the lyrics 'He's got a partner in crime; his shit is equally dope
You won't believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kid's throat'.
At least that is how I have always interpreted that line.
Lol he’s talking about Takbir but I like your interpretation better :)
He's really talking about Tak, but pretty sure Chester appears in the start of the video, 2nd person Shinoda talks to.
Each rapper is talking about themselves in the 3rd person
I love that idea
Chester is the guy playing the pinball machine when Mike walks into the bar.
The bros mind got blown on this one, "I thought this was an Eminem song", then boom "is that Mike Shinoda!?!?!?!?!?"
That was SO priceless, loved it!
Back story to the album is that Mike Shinoda wanted to go back to his hip-hop roots and at the time he didn't think he could make real hip-hop in Linkin Park because they were still in their early days really of 2 albums and a collab album with Jay-Z.

Then there Mike's Post Traumatic album in which he moves more to a pop and hip-hop music style.
Mike for is the best musician alive.
Not because he's the best at what he does but because he can do so much from hard rock, rap, pop and electronic.
He produces all his stuff from Linkin Park to fort minor and hell knows how many instruments.
Mike was the producer 😉
Edit: I think Joe Hahn had a hand in it as well
Mike Shinoda Is an amazing rapper. He proved his chops with Linkin Park but he cemented his place in rap history with his solo album. So sad that it doesn't get the same love as his Linkin Park days.
Also check out Fort Minor- Where'd you go.
And Chester Bennington other band Dead By Sunrise.
The other radio hit off this album was Where'd You Go. It's got a lit feature on the level of the Dido feature on Eminem's Stan.
(Not that the tracks themselves are comparable, just the featured/sampled artists)
I prefer where’d you go over remember the name tbh
So holly brook who sang the hook of where'd you go is Skylar Grey the girl that's been singing on all of Eminem songs for the last couple years
It's features Holly Brook now know as Skyler Grey who wrote the lyrics to that Eminem & Rhinna song Love the Way You Lie. She wrote that song that got so famous they sang. Skyler Grey also co wrote & guest sang on Diddy's "Coming Home", Dr. Dre's "I Need a Doctor", Nicki Minaj's "Bed of Lies", and Macklemore's "Glorious".
My favorite song from Fort Minor is Kenji. It's a personal song to Mike and done perfectly
I second the Kenji track recommendation
Chester at the pinball table, the first one Mike greats when going inside
I’m pretty sure that Mike Shinoda produced the song but the iconic melody that you are talking about was made by an actual orchestra
One of the best produced rap albums from a sound engineer's perspective too.
From a guy who doesn't know music production... I've always thought so too! 😜👌
@@CragusMaximus not sure what that 1st part of your statement means? I did get a degree in Audio Production & I do work in the AV field, but okay. Either way, great production on The Rising Tied.
Poor Jojo didn't realize how uncultured he was until he got this channel going lol
Now that you heard this song you should listen to Red to Black by Fort Minor
Red to Black is definitely my favourite Fort Minor song. Ryu's verse is crazy.
Red to Black is one of my top faves. I first heard around a time when both my parents lost their jobs and my mom just had my sister and I was taking care of her and my little brother a lot, so Red to Black and Where'd You Go hit hard for me personally.
*watching as Jojo makes connections in his head*😏
💖
3:32 - the guy who saluted is CHESTER !
ALWAYS COMING WITH THE BANGERS!!!… NEVER HEARD OF EM BUT SHITS 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
"Is that Mike Shinoda?"
"This guy created the biggest motivation song in history as a Side Project?"
Haha.. amazing reaction!
linkin park in pieces has a fire guitar solo, i highly recommend
OH IT'S ABOUT TO GET LIT UP IN HERE!!!!!!! FT MINOR IS MIKE SHINODA'S SIDE PROJECT LOL
I recommend you check out Mike Shinoda’s mixtape ZIGGURATS. It’s basically a really long 6 minute song broken down into like 4 parts (so I count it as a song rather than an album).
Mike goes HARD with the lyrics I don’t think you’re ready for it 😂

Your genuine reaction has been brilliant to witness and your curiosity and willingness to explore different genres is fantastic keep up the good work.
You got AC/DC, GUNS and ROSES, have you got Disturbed - indestructible or sound of silence or Meat Loaf. (2 completely different sound experiences)
SO GLAD U FINALLY LISTENED TO IT 🔥👌 been requesting reactors react to this album for ages. So please consider the whole album. It's a ride.
I second that!
“Where’d you go” is also a great fort minor tune
When he recognizes its mike…priceless lol
💖😍
5:55 “I Have to give credit to the producer, bro...”
THE PRODUCER IS MIKE, MAN!!! HE PRODUCED EVERY SINGLE NOTE OF THIS PROJECT
Check out "Kenji" next!
Mike's underdog , he is far better than Eminem. Every aspect of Mike is very unique. He does everything like a tough tongue twister, unique diction , unique rhyming, music , sync everything about Mike is unique. 🌹
Not a bias but if you listen to linkin park you will understand.

LETS FUCKING GOO!!!! THANK YOU LFR JOJO!! THIS SONG IS A BANGER!!

No Pain. No Gain.
Learn to love the pain. Life of only pleasure is a lie.
I was the one who recommended it. 💯. Don’t matter as long as I get to see you review it it’s all good and yes I mentioned that Mike Shinoda was a part of it.
I need you to listen to KENJI by Mike not only does it further show of his genius rap skills but also his storytellling

Yes! Do an album reaction and listen in order.
Listen to these by Fort Minor...
KENJI: for feels and a new perspective of American history.
Red to Black: absolute banger/beats! Mike tells a great story.
Slip out the back: if u wanted a song to tell u fighting isn't worth it, with an incredible eerie atmosphere created with the backing track.
'Spray paint & ink pens' just for some 🔥 lyricism by Lupe fiasco.
2bh the whole album is worth a reaction 👌👌🔥
'Cigarettes' is definitely my favorite off the album.
[Solo]
Mine is ‘Right Now’
This right here is gold!! Best reaction ever😂 love it!! Please do Kenji🤞🏻
Fort Minor is basically Mike Shinoda's version of D12
Fort Minor finally yes!
yeah, Mike Shinoda's the GOAT.
Mike Shinoda is one of the most underrated rappers
Hey I'm the one that said check out Fort Minor multiple times!
At last, thanks for doing this one man.
When Mike enters the bar, the man he hugs is Chester Bennington ❤️
This one was produced solely by Mike but he had Mr. Hahn produce some of the other ones
This is 10 % luck
20% skill
15% concentraded power of the will
5% pleasure
50% pain and a 100% reason to remember the name
Check out Kenji by Fort minor it's a good history lesson he wrote
LOL I was wondering how you had missed hearing this song up until now. ^_^
2:17 😂
If you look closely though the video, there are members of Linkin Park in the crowd
Nah, bro. Shinoda said specifically he wanted to elevate everyone around him. Fort Minor was introducing his friends to fame.
What funny when he sees who it is good old Mike from LP
Mike Shinoda is ALSO the Producer. lol
Fort minor whered you go was a huge song
react to Kenji by Fort Minor
When will you be doing the rest of Hybrid Theory. You stopped at Crawling on the first go at it.
Is that Mike Shinoda lmfao 🤣
Hay. It’s the guy. Fort minor is the best…still
Highly recommend "In Stereo" by them. Great driving song.
Cigarettes is a good song too. The Zippos in the background of the beat is so unique!
Takbir and Ryu (the other 2 guys rapping) are from an underground hip-hop group "Styles Of Beyond." you should peep their joints. 2000 Fold was a groundbreaking album.
Chester Bennington is seen hugging Mike Shinoda in the video.
Bring back fort minor

Fort Minor is Mike Shinoda (from Linkin Park) and Ryu and Tak aka Styles of beyond (from Machine Shop), you gotta check out Believe me, Where'd you go, Petrified and Kenji
Need to listen to Mike's latest project. Ziggurats, it's a short production of Mike rapping over digital beats. It is 🔥
Just wait till he listens to “where’d you go by fort minor”… I can’t wait to see his reaction on that video
Since the beginning I wanted to see your face when you would have discovered that Fort Minor is Mike Shinoda. All his songs are really good. I suggest every song from Post Traumatic EP.
50% pain because the pain is what helps fuel your passion to go beast mode .. let's go jojo 🔥 🎯
Fort Minor is hip-hop side-project by Mike. Before Linkin Park, Mike used to create hip-hop beats for his friends, used to create joke hip-hop songs with the band's original singer, Mark Wakefield. Then eventually him and Mark began writing hip-hop songs together then added rock to the mix by recruiting Brad Delson and the rest of the guys. Before the band was signed, Mike would still write hip-hop songs then when they started touring, he didn't really have time to write straight hip-hop music anymore as they're just translation into an traditional LP song. Then when LP took a break from touring and got into a legal battle with their label, Mike took the opportunity to rediscover his hip-hop roots. And Fort Minor is actually just Mike's alias as a solo-artist.
Check the song Where'd you go by Fort Minor. It's a good song I think you'd enjoy
Mike shinoda, is legend
You also need to check out "Kenji" by Shinoda :)
Those percentages are important.
Can't make it without luck, that's why you gotta keep taking shots, but honing your talent is twice as important, and between all that you need the determination to make it through.
But don't forget to love what you're doing.
And even with all that, you're only half done. The rest is putting in the work.
I'm here for this one!
I mentioned them to you once before, but it was a long time ago lol. So glad you finally got around to this. Linkin Park and Shinoda are my favorite artists of all time
I've been waiting for Fort Minor!
