As an English teacher, I have to agree with you. But I’ve always compared it to the “battle rap” of the characters in Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales.” 😅
Notice how countless people praised and complimented Nas for EPMD2 by saying "he gives Eminem so much time on his own track and even allows him to switch beats, he gives Em the "shine", Nas is so great for doing that!" And so on but not a single soul of those saying that ever say the same, when Eminem gives the biggest parts of his tracks to other Detroit artists and let them shine and show their skills and talent and exposes them to the entire world? Eminem doesn't have to do ANYTHING in the first place, not new music, not new tracks, nothing. He has reached heights, levels and dimensions no other rapper has ever touched and could just chill for the rest of his life. But not only does he create new music for the whole world and his fans to enjoy, he also brings others with him and let them shine and spit for everyone of his fans to see them and get to know them. I'm sure many people didn't know who Babytron is and now they do and he will get a boost wherever possible and also more people will know Big Sean worldwide. If THAT isn't GOAT mentality and moves, if THAT isn't a huge contribution to the culture and to other artists and to Detroit, i don't know what is. 🐐
It's not an opinion it's truth. Em literally added a verse to this track. I'm not knocking what you said or em. I'm just letting you know that he didn't sit back on this track because it was already made.
Someone made a good comment about how the fact that BabyTron is on the track means that Em’s paying attention to and/or cares for the next generation of rappers. There’s a few people out there saying that he got out-rapped on this track, which I think is ridiculous. The restraint he shows during his verse and the fact that he gives so much room to both Big Sean and BabyTron shows to me that he’s a great mentor and is doing nothing but helping others, especially from Detroit, to raise up their status within the hip-hop community. No one can out-rap Eminem. No one. But they can compliment his flow… and both Big Sean and BabyTron do that on a level I’ve rarely heard.
That spitfire line is overlooked. I caught it the first time I heard it and just smiled. Eminem’s brain needs to be studied by science after he’s gone. 🐐
He already is bwing taught in language arts classes across the world not as much right now but when its all said and done eminem will be stamped in history as a pseudo shakesphere but more complex he cannot be replicated
In Eminem's line "But this to me is a mystery how rappers I already ripped could be"... I heard "How rappers I already R.I.P.'ed could be"... Eminem leaves bodies in his lyrics... no doubts.
All of them shone in their own way honestly~ Yes, everyone is saying that Eminem's verse is better, and yeah no one can outrap Eminem, but Big Sean and Babytron literally cooked on this one, and outside of that, Em's showing Detroit some love with these guys on this track.
And it’s easily the most boring song on the album. I do get that he’s gotten criticism for not promoting new artists and taking them under his wing. But idk it just sounds like a such a waste of a song.
You let me understand the lyric so much better cuz my first language isn’t English. Want to thank you so much for doing this and help me and much more others You are a absolute genius Knox
Even joe budden said that in his rant against Em à few years ago " one thing I'll give Eminem . He is the best rhymes pairer on the planet. No one rhymes words like Eminem. He can rhyme letters . Words that don't rhyme. He can rhyme accents damn near. Unmatched in that area "
Also, Em says that he must've got bitten by a goat, and continues to say as a kid (Which is what a baby goat is called), he hoped to grow to be a goat. A baby goat (kid) will grow to be an actual adult goat. This is why the "Baa" adlib is after the word "kid".
And tying back to the Star Wars theme, he's referring to himself as young Anakin to bring back hope which Anakin actually ends up doing. Babytron is Obi Wan, Sean Yoda, Em is Anakin.
Knox!!! Thank you man!! Back in 2008 when I was in Year 12, we had to do an English assignment deconstructing and analysing a song. I asked if I could do Lose Yourself or Sing For The Moment, and got denied. Was pissed. Eminem's songs were part of my childhood, have older brothers and their friends, our entire family loved Eminem and watched 8 Mile as a family. Sadly I lost my Dad in 2003 under tragic and traumatic circumstances and the only artist that I could relate to deep to my core was Em. Straight out told my teacher that the only other songs I could relate to were songs that definitely wouldn't have been accepted. I'd been prepping for that assignment for a year based on Eminem. And now here we are, Em spitting that he hoped to inspire hope. Thank you for breaking this down and doing what you do because this is what I wanted to for that assignment.
When he says "I might be the hope" at 1:12 The music flares up in the background in a way reminiscent of Spider-Man movies. (specifically into the spider verse, kinda similar to the start of "What's up danger"). Eminem showing his love of comics and superheroes with this one
@@crackode2411is it even possible for someone who’s that set for life to have a crisis? 😂 He could do fuckin slam poetry for the rest of his life and never have an issue

My Opinion as a German Stan: Knox is the Best Reactor for Breakdowns by far. I Started years ago with no life shaq, bcs he was going crazy and having fun. Later I tried to understand lyrics deeper so I watched SkriptWork for good Breakdowns. But Knox is explaining every syllable. So Important for me to dive into it! Thank You for Your work!
Man, Babytron is one of the most interesting punchline rappers out rn. He’s so clever, pretty damn funny too. They just pass you by though if you not listening.
Facts! Even Knox ain’t catch all Babytron’s double entendres, so that should tell you something. Lil Baby used to go by Wham Wham in the streets. So Tron also ties that in the Flinstone scheme talking about Bam Bam who is the baby. No disrespect towards Knox intended. Just agreeing Babytron was really spitting if even Knox missed something.
Knox Is so good at these breakdowns. They really help me understand every single bar and truly get the full experience when listening to the song, Thanks man
Knox pretty much got the shoutout in that interview when Eminem said (and I rephrase) fans are breaking down the lyrics and production in high detail. He didn't exactly say who it was but we all know he most probably meant Knox Hill
Eminem has went on the record after Kamikaze (so, recently) during an interview with Sway saying the Grammys are phony as fuck and we will never ever see him attending another one lol. He is who is control of himself not winning a Grammy- no one else. Kendrick can have it.
Eminem just told every rapper who thinks that they can box with him to get in the ring give him whatever they got. He's already got the belt come get your ass whooped. Crazy
Houdini he was doing the same. Even had digs at Kendrick Pullin' up in a Chrysler to the cypher with the vic's, percs and a Bud Light shirt (cypher and can't be cancelled) Lyrical technician, an electrician y'all light work (All you rappers are easy) And I don't gotta play pretend, it's you I make believe (Ref to what drake said to kenrick) If I was to ever take a leave, It would be aspirin to break a feve ( Not leaving) So when I started this verse It did start off light-hearted at first (I'm Serious now) But it feels like I'm targeted Mind bogglin' ( disrespected by people) Yeah, the shit is just like y'all have been light joggin' and I've been running at full speed And that's why I'm ahead like my noggin, (Em has been getting better not worse) and I'm the fight y'all get in When you debate who the best (always in conversation) but ops I'm white-chalkin' (Urban dictionary 2nd and 3rd meaning Not like us? white chalk white rapper) when I step up to that mic, cock it then (I don't believe Em is not offended by the diss so he is coming out) "Oh my god, it's him... not again!"(when he comes back people shut up) So, how many little kids still wanna act like me? (saying he is still massive rapper) I'm a bigger prick than cacti be And that's why these words sting, just like you were being attacked by bees ( you know i'm telling the truth and it hurts) the black guy pee's (Maybe someone is wetting themself) In my Air Max 90's (been here since the 90's) White T's walkin' parental advisory (maybe he knows Explicit Content about someone) Like a motherfuckin' hacky sack I treat the whole world, 'cause I got it at my feet (I'm global) How can I explain to you? (directly talking to someone) And say a few things or two to anger you I have a direct Kendrick reference, but no one seems to see it so I will keep that to myself. There is also more but Before the song was released Em did a video with David Blane You know you're the best to ever do it right. (also talking about himself) I'm going to make my career and disappear. (Diss A Peer) it's not Megan that's the illusion LOL It's also more of a warning. Like that It's just big me. Nope this song proved it's not.
@@dreday1788 wow great response and English. Please explain why you think that because that response said nothing. He has just called out everyone above him on that list in this song, looks like you are the slow one. My guess you're a professional hater of Em. I also suspect you would say that Eminem has not put out anything good since The Eminem Show. You sound like all those other sheep that have been feed bull for the last 20 years but really lack the capacity to come up with your own decisions and just follow the narrative. Open your eyes mate Em is at the top of every category you can think of. There may be others in each category that are close or at the same level, but he is at the top of every one of them. My guess you're a Kendrick fan boy. Not sure you should be calling me slow let's see how this plays out.
I have to say your analyses and explanations are on point. How you explained that boxing spot in the song and remembered VP made a cameo and all of that. You are truly gifted! Keep up the amazing work, I have really enjoyed your reactions this past year.
Shit is incredible man. Literally every single word has at LEAST one purpose/meaning. It’s honestly mind blowing when you realize how intentional his lyrics are. Bro puts in the work like nobody I’ve ever seen
Something that I noticed is how long Em gave to Sean and Babytron on their verses and gave himself the shortest verse in time length. They all dropped a crazy verse, but this kind of suggests that Em is trying to help out these 2 younger Detroit rappers which is nice to see
Big Sean is worth like 80 million and is one of the top 50 most famous rappers he doesn’t need to be put on. Big Sean is slept on and way underrated and ‘em is always giving him props. With big Sean it’s more allowing him to show his skills Babytron he does.
Second line of eminems verse the way he says "To be one" almost sounds like "Tobey Wan" which sounds like Tobey n Obi-Wan mixed together. I might be listening too hard but i feel like its there.
It's a smaller bar but in the empire state building section he also says "so many stories, hate ceilings, aint feeling your top 5" So he said F your list and F the ceiling I'm limitless. Amazing breakdown man thank you for putting this out so fast, so excited to get more Em
@@dreday1788 Not with the aggression he applied. This time, he's taking his crown regardless of whether people feel he deserves it or not. We might have heard this Eminem before, but it's been a long time coming.
Blows my mind how knox can hear everything while his brain processes everything at the same time. Best bar breakdown. Benzino is currently watchin knox to understand what em jus said.
I just love the fact that Big Sean and BabyTron cooked especially happy for BabyTron because Eminem just basically confirmed he's a good rapper by putting him on the Album that's a W
Knox definitely the best reactor, he knows his stuff and doesn’t jump out his chair screaming for ages wasting time just gets to the breakdown in detail! Thank you Knox!! 👊🏻
I just want to say thank you. As a 50 yr old who always loved Eminem, I absolutely love how you break things down so effing good! You are awesome! I am a simple country girl who needs help sometimes to fully understand and appreciate these songs properly! So glad I found your account! Simply amazing 👏 Thank you! Love this track! ❤
I'm 35 and been into hip hop for 25 of em, and I still love Knox' content. Anyone acting like they catch *every* double/triple better have a pen sharp as a katar.
@@goodnessadegoke1899 well when they have a picture of a goat in the background, it can paint a different image in ppl’s minds. Maybe the video will tell us some more 🤷♂️ idk
The instrumental on this is absolutely sick. There’s something 4 dimensional going on and it’s mind-blowing. Tbh Houdini was easy light-hearted fun and this is difficult and dark as hell. The largesse of Em is incredible because Big Sean is blowing up the mic just wow the skillz on this track are out of this world.
Yo! I swear Knox is the only reactor that gives love to the instruments used in the track, and the difficulty it takes to make a nasty beat slap then is the GOAT at breakdowns of the actual lyrics! Fucking love it!
Every time Em drops something you are the first vid I search on RUclips. Thanks dude for explaining all his lyrics throughout the years. As a non native English speaker his bars go over my head most of the times, but you make them clear and understandable. You’re awesome at it bro, cant wait for shady’s new album! Keep on doing what you do. Kudos from Holland 😉
I think the spitfire bar is deeper than anyone is seeing. Kamikaze: you think that was a fighter jet, I was just flying coach. In other words you ain’t seen nothing yet, I was chilling but I’m about to go ham
@@pitchdark2024 You might not like his current flows and style compared to what he used to do. I also enjoy his old albums more but that doesn't mean his lyrical capability fell off. He only got better as time went by. Even tho you don't agree that he is not as lyrically good as he used to be, saying he fell off is a fuckin crime
@@volkanturk2887 im mad cos Eminem is not Eminem anymore he is just trying to imitate all these crappy nu rappers flows and styles regardless of his rhyming genius... I'm half way through Eminem show again tonight now. And its either not Eminem anymore or he just cant do his signature style anymore . therefore not Eminem. go listen to it again now Eminem show first 5 tracks and compare it to this nonsense.. You'll see what i mean
Your breakdowns are nothing short of phenomenal. Very thankful for you choosing to do breakdown videos. Teach me much man. I hope Em sees any of your breakdowns bc the flowers you give him could fill his house Lol & I appreciate it. Alot of ppl hate on Em but he my G.O.A.T. Love ya Knox❤
I always like a new Em song but when I watch Knox break down these bars and basically spend 30 minutes with the song, I suddenly always love them so much morw
A kid is a baby goat... when he says he used to dream as a KID.... and the end he says he bit baby tron & big sean... he used their flows in his verse but also bit them turning them to goats👍
I been in the comments for a hot minute looking for this! He never mentioned the "I used to dream as a KID I would grow up to be one" bar. Knox's slogan is gotta catch 'em all so I hope he sees this. This comment needs to be pinned.
Love your breakdowns ( explain stuff that is easily missed) just wondering if folks got the misspelt Tobey) to obey) so might be digging to deep but is em talking about how everyone should believe in the media's top 5s
It's supposed to come out the suit. Raimi did spiderman differently to the comics. If you think tobey maguire was the first iteration of spiderman then you are lost@@sandraabrahamsson6677
Absolute BAAAARRRRZZZZZ EM is a true 🐐 giving the mic to Tron & Sean and both stepped up their game! Tron hasn’t rapped like this before And Sean…that was a ripped verse - he went next level! Em is going for that belt, solidifying his claim on 🐐hood and who dares step to him?!?🔥
Eminem is on a different level. The GOAT🙌 Knox your breakdowns are elite. GOAT reactor and a quality rapper. Your a legend man. Would love to see you and em talking hip hop. He knows who you are that's for sure
"I'm bout sick of that god damn belt" sounded also to me like a play on more boxing terms, bout and bell. Hearing it like this -- "bout" and "sick of the bell" -- gives me the impression he's tired of the round being called done when he has more punches left to throw. I also heard "pioneer" sounding like "pie in the air", the idiom being "pie in the sky", something you want to happen but it's unlikely to, setting up the "easy as pie" and "did not pan out", which then also connect pie + pan. It's a trifecta of idiom wordplay, a big three.
All this drip I'm below sea level!! | I think he meant He got so much ice | comparing to an iceberg being so big but you don't see most of it is actually below water (sea level)
I am an old head, but I've been a fan of tron for a few years. It's a HUGE look to see him featured on Em's single. Eminem is hard to impress. Tron got that juice now.
As mentioned, when Em said he was a "kid" that dreamed to be a goat... a kid... is baby goat. Near the end of the song, he says "every dream i have dreamed, ive exceeded" saying he has now become more than the goat!
Hold on, that's a bar about "If you want space, I hope you take your helmet off as soon as you get to Venus and choke" because Eminem is a Libra, and when you look it up for a Libra (♎️), you'll see that the planet for a Libra is Venus.
When he says "Eye of the tiger song is playing on my head on repeat. I get knocked down more times then i can count" is a play on Rockys famous quote, "It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" He's referencing that when he got knocked down due to drugs or whatever. hes gotten back up and pushed forward and now he's a goat. Going back to the Chorus of "Tobey Maguire got bit by a spider, but for me it was a Goat" @KnoxHill

Knox pretty much got the shoutout in that interview when Eminem said (and I rephrase) fans are breaking down the lyrics and production in high detail. He didn't exactly say who it was but we all know he most probably meant Knox Hill
Same 🤘🏻
I really wish Kendrick and Eminem weren’t releasing albums in the same year. I want them both to win a Grammy
Eminem has went on the record after Kamikaze (so, recently) during an interview with Sway saying the Grammys are phony as fuck and we will never ever see him attending another one lol. He is who is control of himself not winning a Grammy- no one else. Kendrick can have it.
Em doesn’t go to the grammys
Em don’t care about awards
Eminem just told every rapper who thinks that they can box with him to get in the ring give him whatever they got. He's already got the belt come get your ass whooped. Crazy
Dawg I caught that, Eminems a different animal but the same beast
Houdini he was doing the same. Even had digs at Kendrick
Pullin' up in a Chrysler to the cypher with the vic's, percs and a Bud Light shirt (cypher and can't be cancelled)
Lyrical technician, an electrician y'all light work (All you rappers are easy)
And I don't gotta play pretend, it's you I make believe (Ref to what drake said to kenrick)
If I was to ever take a leave, It would be aspirin to break a feve ( Not leaving)
So when I started this verse It did start off light-hearted at first (I'm Serious now)
But it feels like I'm targeted Mind bogglin' ( disrespected by people)
Yeah, the shit is just like y'all have been light joggin' and I've been running at full speed
And that's why I'm ahead like my noggin, (Em has been getting better not worse)
and I'm the fight y'all get in When you debate who the best (always in conversation)
but ops I'm white-chalkin' (Urban dictionary 2nd and 3rd meaning Not like us? white chalk white rapper)
when I step up to that mic, cock it then (I don't believe Em is not offended by the diss so he is coming out)
"Oh my god, it's him... not again!"(when he comes back people shut up)
So, how many little kids still wanna act like me? (saying he is still massive rapper)
I'm a bigger prick than cacti be And that's why these words sting, just like you were being attacked by bees
( you know i'm telling the truth and it hurts)
the black guy pee's (Maybe someone is wetting themself)
In my Air Max 90's (been here since the 90's)
White T's walkin' parental advisory (maybe he knows Explicit Content about someone)
Like a motherfuckin' hacky sack I treat the whole world, 'cause I got it at my feet (I'm global)
How can I explain to you? (directly talking to someone)
And say a few things or two to anger you
I have a direct Kendrick reference, but no one seems to see it so I will keep that to myself.
There is also more but
Before the song was released Em did a video with David Blane
You know you're the best to ever do it right. (also talking about himself)
I'm going to make my career and disappear. (Diss A Peer) it's not Megan that's the illusion LOL
It's also more of a warning.
Like that It's just big me. Nope this song proved it's not.
We've heard this eminem on Kamikaze and MTBMB already this shit is getting old
@@marshmellow-pq9zrYou're slow of you truly believe that.
@@dreday1788 wow great response and English. Please explain why you think that because that response said nothing. He has just called out everyone above him on that list in this song, looks like you are the slow one. My guess you're a professional hater of Em. I also suspect you would say that Eminem has not put out anything good since The Eminem Show. You sound like all those other sheep that have been feed bull for the last 20 years but really lack the capacity to come up with your own decisions and just follow the narrative. Open your eyes mate Em is at the top of every category you can think of. There may be others in each category that are close or at the same level, but he is at the top of every one of them.
My guess you're a Kendrick fan boy. Not sure you should be calling me slow let's see how this plays out.
Just finished watching No Life Shaq's reaction lol
Same
Same lol
Same 😂
Same here 😂
Same, already watched Cliff, Shaq, AR and Duane. Been waiting for Knox
I have to say your analyses and explanations are on point. How you explained that boxing spot in the song and remembered VP made a cameo and all of that. You are truly gifted! Keep up the amazing work, I have really enjoyed your reactions this past year.
“I used to dream as a kid I would grow
To be one. “
Sick double meaning
A young goat also means kid.
Knox made me realize that Em means everything he say. No fillers.
How do you do this Knox. Almost every line is a double. Damn
Shit is incredible man. Literally every single word has at LEAST one purpose/meaning. It’s honestly mind blowing when you realize how intentional his lyrics are. Bro puts in the work like nobody I’ve ever seen
@@taylorcollins8254fr fr! It’s always so fascinating, it’s why I love these breakdowns
@@taylorcollins8254😂😅😅😅😊
Something that I noticed is how long Em gave to Sean and Babytron on their verses and gave himself the shortest verse in time length. They all dropped a crazy verse, but this kind of suggests that Em is trying to help out these 2 younger Detroit rappers which is nice to see
Big Sean is worth like 80 million and is one of the top 50 most famous rappers he doesn’t need to be put on.
Big Sean is slept on and way underrated and ‘em is always giving him props. With big Sean it’s more allowing him to show his skills
Babytron he does.
Second line of eminems verse the way he says "To be one" almost sounds like "Tobey Wan" which sounds like Tobey n Obi-Wan mixed together.
I might be listening too hard but i feel like its there.
i heard that too
For anyone else that might be a reach… but not for Em 😂
I heard that too, you good
Also: To-bey-one, the first spiderman
@@dannyboy6326🔥🔥🔥
Knox needs to get sponsored by Duracell so his camera can survive an entire video 😂
🤣
Hell yeah lol
Real 😂
No one gets the bars like KH. Dude VERY rarely misses. Respect.
100.
He is too smart and understands everything that is being said in the song as well.
This song is incredible! All three are insane. Em telling everyone he's a legend is perfection. Love ya Professor
Nah tobey is an ok track that should be a big sean song ft eminem and babytron but NOT an song on eminem his album
Yep this song is great. Hiphop stans are happy, em stans are not.
@@weinhereeeee9271 Track his hella mid. Album not shaping up to well from these singles.
Nah, whatchu guys on about, this track is fire 🔥🔥🔥
@@B-RockATLZone4I guess the bars went over your head it’s ok we all can’t be smart like that
It's a smaller bar but in the empire state building section he also says "so many stories, hate ceilings, aint feeling your top 5" So he said F your list and F the ceiling I'm limitless. Amazing breakdown man thank you for putting this out so fast, so excited to get more Em
the way knox reverse engineers Em's bars makes me think his brain is somehow tethered to Em Brain and he understands Em on the feelings level.
He is so good braking Ems bars that I wonder sometimes if Em secretly explains to him what his trying to say lol 😂
Not a single word was wasted in Eminem's verse. It's like listening to a classic Ernest Hemingway novel: every sentence has intricate meaning.
I disagree we've heard this eminem already
@@dreday1788 Not with the aggression he applied. This time, he's taking his crown regardless of whether people feel he deserves it or not. We might have heard this Eminem before, but it's been a long time coming.
And? So? And? What does that have to do with what was said? Other than nothing ⚡@@dreday1788
his verse was trash on this track, what you talking about?
You're clearly not understanding what you hear, even though knox is breaking it down for you @@Hoop_23
Blows my mind how knox can hear everything while his brain processes everything at the same time. Best bar breakdown. Benzino is currently watchin knox to understand what em jus said.
Bro…. He’s listened to it before … he just pretends to hear it for the first time . AMAZING ANALYSIS ALWAYS , but come on man
@@Poppa_appa even if has listened to a song once, it’s possible to pick up on bars you missed before. You act like you can dissect it like Knox, NOT.
@@WhatZitTooYaaa dude it’s not Finnegans Wake . It’s not that hard to dissect an Eminem song lol
😂😂💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm a musician but admittedly rap R worded. You deepen my understanding of the genre and I legitimately appreciate that.
I just love the fact that Big Sean and BabyTron cooked especially happy for BabyTron because Eminem just basically confirmed he's a good rapper by putting him on the Album that's a W
I have never even heard of him before. But he is definitely a good rapper. Going to check his music out tomorrow.
@@thacrypt223 he's very good there's this song he did with Luh Tyler he went all out in that song more than this one
@@Twoseconds001 Ok. Will listen to it. Thanks!
Sir Toby Maguire has gotta be sitting, listening with a big smile on his face
Probably asking hinself: What I do? 😂😂😂😂😂
Sir Bully Maguire: remember me
Hope he's in the video 😂
@@yk_arubanorchid297 Inspired a young rapper with a good movie
@@OhNoTheFace indeed 😂
Knox definitely the best reactor, he knows his stuff and doesn’t jump out his chair screaming for ages wasting time just gets to the breakdown in detail! Thank you Knox!! 👊🏻
I just want to say thank you. As a 50 yr old who always loved Eminem, I absolutely love how you break things down so effing good! You are awesome! I am a simple country girl who needs help sometimes to fully understand and appreciate these songs properly!
So glad I found your account! Simply amazing 👏
Thank you!
Love this track! ❤
I'm 35 and been into hip hop for 25 of em, and I still love Knox' content. Anyone acting like they catch *every* double/triple better have a pen sharp as a katar.
I came here to say the exact same thing 🫶🏻✌🏻
I think the GOAT they got bit by is Eminem himself, biting is the metaphor for inspiration
Ohhh I like this take! You could be correct!
I thought that was obvious actually
@@goodnessadegoke1899 well when they have a picture of a goat in the background, it can paint a different image in ppl’s minds. Maybe the video will tell us some more 🤷♂️ idk
Exactly a bar and 💯 right double and triples etc
Goosebumps on each of their verses, they smoked it. I cant wait for em album to drop 😅😅😅
Em incredible and i love how he simply let them show off how great they r 2
The instrumental on this is absolutely sick. There’s something 4 dimensional going on and it’s mind-blowing. Tbh Houdini was easy light-hearted fun and this is difficult and dark as hell. The largesse of Em is incredible because Big Sean is blowing up the mic just wow the skillz on this track are out of this world.
Yo! I swear Knox is the only reactor that gives love to the instruments used in the track, and the difficulty it takes to make a nasty beat slap then is the GOAT at breakdowns of the actual lyrics! Fucking love it!
I kept waiting for this reaction
same
me too
He does the best break down bc he understands bars !
@@FNSSEIOS exactly, that's what I love from him
Man, was waiting for this. You about the only one who caught everything, like always, plus you didn't get BabyTron and Big Sean mixed up! Thanks
Every time Em drops something you are the first vid I search on RUclips. Thanks dude for explaining all his lyrics throughout the years. As a non native English speaker his bars go over my head most of the times, but you make them clear and understandable. You’re awesome at it bro, cant wait for shady’s new album! Keep on doing what you do. Kudos from Holland 😉
I think the spitfire bar is deeper than anyone is seeing. Kamikaze: you think that was a fighter jet, I was just flying coach. In other words you ain’t seen nothing yet, I was chilling but I’m about to go ham
Who REALLY has ever came after Em? Cause at this point, he is CLEARLY putting it out there, he wants a CHALLENGE. Who will accept it?
When he dreamed as a kid and became a goat.A baby goat is a kid.Mr Hill hope all is going good for mom🙏
Eminem lyrically will never fall off
ok go listen to eminem show now and do a comparison
@@pitchdark2024 You might not like his current flows and style compared to what he used to do. I also enjoy his old albums more but that doesn't mean his lyrical capability fell off. He only got better as time went by. Even tho you don't agree that he is not as lyrically good as he used to be, saying he fell off is a fuckin crime
Well eminem at his "worst" is still better than 90 percent of the industry@@pitchdark2024
@@volkanturk2887his delivery fell off hard and that’s half of it man
@@volkanturk2887 im mad cos Eminem is not Eminem anymore he is just trying to imitate all these crappy nu rappers flows and styles regardless of his rhyming genius... I'm half way through Eminem show again tonight now. And its either not Eminem anymore or he just cant do his signature style anymore . therefore not Eminem. go listen to it again now Eminem show first 5 tracks and compare it to this nonsense.. You'll see what i mean
My favorite breakdown of this video is Knox going whooohhoagagagoo at the beginging
Your breakdowns are nothing short of phenomenal. Very thankful for you choosing to do breakdown videos. Teach me much man. I hope Em sees any of your breakdowns bc the flowers you give him could fill his house Lol & I appreciate it. Alot of ppl hate on Em but he my G.O.A.T. Love ya Knox❤
Knox appreciate you as a rapper and you’re the G. O. A. T. when it comes to reaction videos and breaking down the G. O. A. T. (EMINEM)
Rapper goat in the making too.
People are sleeping on this song, man. Way better than Houdini, imo. "Middle finger stuck up, but I never conceded (conceited)" 🔥
huh? This track was a miss, no where near as good as Houdini
@@Hoop_23only a miss if you don't understand bars 😂
The wordplay is great in this one, but content wise Houdini is better
@@deviousraulI mean we didn’t get the video for this yet, so that might be the reason for that feeling.
Houdini was for you, the rest is for em
I always like a new Em song but when I watch Knox break down these bars and basically spend 30 minutes with the song, I suddenly always love them so much morw
A kid is a baby goat... when he says he used to dream as a KID.... and the end he says he bit baby tron & big sean... he used their flows in his verse but also bit them turning them to goats👍
Exactly I'm glad someone other than me caught this I think some did but there's so much they miss some bars double and triples etc
I been in the comments for a hot minute looking for this! He never mentioned the "I used to dream as a KID I would grow up to be one" bar. Knox's slogan is gotta catch 'em all so I hope he sees this. This comment needs to be pinned.
I swear Knox be knowing shit u and other reactors never think of...😭😭🔥
thats why he has already more than 1mln subs, i think people see it
Love your breakdowns ( explain stuff that is easily missed) just wondering if folks got the misspelt Tobey) to obey) so might be digging to deep but is em talking about how everyone should believe in the media's top 5s
9:10 the iron giant bar goes even further, because the pitch for the movie was "what if a gun had a soul?"
Iron Giant also eats metal in the movie
Tobey is the GOAT Spiderman. Can’t agree more Knox
Yup the original Spiderman. I mean the spider web comes out from his hands but with the other two spiderman it comes out of their suit.
And Eminem is the GOAT too
It's supposed to come out the suit. Raimi did spiderman differently to the comics. If you think tobey maguire was the first iteration of spiderman then you are lost@@sandraabrahamsson6677
Tyler had the greatest compliment anyone could ever give. When he said Em was too good and no one could understand anymore.
“When I was kid I hoped I would grow up to be one” a baby goat is called a ‘kid’
Absolute BAAAARRRRZZZZZ EM is a true 🐐 giving the mic to Tron & Sean and both stepped up their game!
Tron hasn’t rapped like this before
And Sean…that was a ripped verse - he went next level!
Em is going for that belt, solidifying his claim on 🐐hood and who dares step to him?!?🔥
Also the beat is amazing - really stripped back and almost held back so they can all ride it in very different flows, production on point
No one can smoke em bro
bro your breakdowns are otherworldly. crazy bro ❤️
REAL HIP HOP IS BACK! I'm so excited 😂😂
🎉
It was back when Kendrick beefed
Eminem is on a different level.
The GOAT🙌
Knox your breakdowns are elite. GOAT reactor and a quality rapper. Your a legend man. Would love to see you and em talking hip hop.
He knows who you are that's for sure
"I'm bout sick of that god damn belt" sounded also to me like a play on more boxing terms, bout and bell. Hearing it like this -- "bout" and "sick of the bell" -- gives me the impression he's tired of the round being called done when he has more punches left to throw.
I also heard "pioneer" sounding like "pie in the air", the idiom being "pie in the sky", something you want to happen but it's unlikely to, setting up the "easy as pie" and "did not pan out", which then also connect pie + pan. It's a trifecta of idiom wordplay, a big three.
only reactor i seen that picked out the deeper meaning relating to j.cole and drake, definetly agree thats its deliberate
Eminem simply THE GOAT 🐐
Agree
Exactly 🐐🤘🏼
no, he's Rap God, not goat, not king, but God 😤🔥🔥🔥
@@greysouljr8913 Greatest of All Time Vs Imaginary Sky Daddy, I'll take GOAT . 🤭
And people who say this sucks are extremely dense
All this drip I'm below sea level!! | I think he meant He got so much ice | comparing to an iceberg being so big but you don't see most of it is actually below water (sea level)
Knox is the Eric Voss/New Rockstars of Music reactions, we watch the other channels respectfully, but we WAIT for the Knox breakdown.
I am an old head, but I've been a fan of tron for a few years. It's a HUGE look to see him featured on Em's single. Eminem is hard to impress. Tron got that juice now.
As mentioned, when Em said he was a "kid" that dreamed to be a goat... a kid... is baby goat. Near the end of the song, he says "every dream i have dreamed, ive exceeded" saying he has now become more than the goat!
Hold on, that's a bar about "If you want space, I hope you take your helmet off as soon as you get to Venus and choke" because Eminem is a Libra, and when you look it up for a Libra (♎️), you'll see that the planet for a Libra is Venus.
Uhh no
You're probably reaching. 😂
Crazy that Eminem watches reactions because of you, you're one of the reasons he still has trust in his bars!! never stop💗
Holy shit this breakdown is as next level as the bars. Jeeeeez Knox you showcased your knowledge
Eminem, Big Sean, and Babytron all just cooked on this song 👏👏👏
This guy is the best at explaining rap lyrics. I like rock and my brain doesn’t fiction in rap ways (lol). But Knox really helps, thanks dude!!
When he says "Eye of the tiger song is playing on my head on repeat. I get knocked down more times then i can count" is a play on Rockys famous quote, "It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" He's referencing that when he got knocked down due to drugs or whatever. hes gotten back up and pushed forward and now he's a goat. Going back to the Chorus of "Tobey Maguire got bit by a spider, but for me it was a Goat" @KnoxHill
Out of these three, not a single word is superfluous. LINEAR BARS.
The iron giant bar wasent because he was made of metal, its because the iron giant actually ate metal at the scrapyards
This kind of reaction really helps other fans understand RAP
you're probably the only reactor who can breakdown the goat, which makes you the goat 🐐
The line that he was "flying coach" could imply that he wasn't even trying to be in first class!
“allergic to rojo” going into the legally blind seeing green bar: red is also financial deficit/loss- he’s allergic to losing money
He just gets better with time!
Also the "I should quit smoking" bar is a triple too because he said I drive Tesla, it has no gas in it its electric no smoking, SMOOOTH
Em is the goat. Number 1. Not 5. Haters go cry. He’s the top of the heap. Period. This song slaps
That boy Knox was sleep deprived angry earlier. 😂😂😂 finally
