@@eldrickemc4602Mostly Kendrick and MF DOOM. I also like the more jazzy 90s stuff, Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul. I've also really been liking Chromakopia, but haven't checked out Tyler's other stuff.
I’m back to rap from Run DMC days (I listen to rock, jazz, classical) and Knox has helped me a lot. One thing I like to do-I take a walk and listen to an entire album. I did this with all of Kendrick and Tyler. It’s really a great re-introduction.
Jack Dorsey came out publicly during the beef heavily in favor of Kendrick, and Dot returns the favor, showing love to ppl who didn't play politics during the battle
Back with more breakdown!! The Yen a scheme is a double with Yin - for Yin and Yang. Tying in with the Buddha, Zen explanations and his meditative state. But also, that duality - Gemini - Yin/Yang and Yin is the destructive force he's going to unleash 🤟
My hobby is basically watching people react to rap and break down lyrics. I've watched a lot of creators and i mean a lot, and i mean it when i say nobody can break lyrics down better than you do. Big ups and keep on creating banger breakdowns. Love from Belgium
(Psst, I’m new to rap and the breakdown videos of the songs, do you happen to have other channel recommendations? Love Knox, he’s just the only one I know of)
To me this is the most underrated and least talked about song on the album, everyone gushing over TV OFF and SQUABBLE UP (rightfully so because they are both amazing songs), but this one deserves all the love as much as those
There has never been as unanimous a GOAT as kdot is now. Literally the entire world is listening to Kendrick. That battle was the best thing that ever happened to kdot.
Toni Morrison is an (Black) American novelist who wrote Beloved. In Beloved, 124 was both a location of a house and a character. 124 was silent but present. Here's a blog summary of 124: Located between the Ohio River, which marks the boundary between free and slavery, and a stream that marks the water boundary between the world of living and brightness, and the dead and darkness, 124 is a meeting point of powerful forces. 124 is considered more like a character and rather less than a setting since it has witnessed Sethe’s happiest and warmest days, as well as her worst nightmares. Therefore, 124 is a faithful witness to the story, and it could even be represented as if it was the narrator of the whole narrative. This take is likely a stretch, but it gives me chilling Euphoria vibes (superpowers getting neutralized. I can only watch in silence).
‘all about my yen big face Buddha keep my peace from within’ meaning 1 = East Asian scheme with getting yen and like big face/big belly Buddha I keep my peace from within meaning 2 = I’m all about my money, got big faces(hundreds) like big belly Buddha, but my peace come from within meaning 3 = I’m all about getting what’s mine, I keep my piece from within aka I’m strapped up == so he’s pretty much saying in one bar that he’s at peace with himself, but he got the money, ammunition, and passion to go at any time, hard ahh bar
@@pulpogaraje yeah tbh I think that adds context to the first meaning, he’s all about his yin, so he’s got his peace from within like Buddha, so good I ain’t even catch it all 😅
I can’t wait till the nocal reactors get ahold to this and go DUMB I’m from socal but I just know this was made for the north, I feeling E40 and another gentleman’s vibes I don’t remember his name
7:58 the 1 2 4 count is him saying he just took out the number three goat. So he calling drake 3rd place… peep the next bar. “ I just strangled me a goat”.
The album is LA coded along with our cousins from the Bay distinctive sound blended in . I am very grateful for Dot giving the world this masterpiece called GNX 💪🏾👑
Also honorary walk in the medical field is when someone passed away and their organs are still good so they walk the body through for the last time with medical personal and family members to see that even though this person is gone their organs will still help others to live
Yesss I've been waiting on you Knox I can't watch other reactions until I watch your break down first because you the only one that can translate this to English 😂 In Knox Hill I trust thank you for all your hard work to produce quality content to us and KDOT is on another level with this one another great video blessings my Dude 🙏💙 keep being great 💪👏
Another big day today. I know I've got people like you waiting on me so I'm working as hard as I can to crank these out (let's just hope my voice holds up, it's still shaky after my last show) Appreciate you as always!

I have never refreshed a channel page that much just to see a new song breakdown DAMN... Get ready for the next one tho even tho you the goat of breakdowns, best one imo
Exactly I been playing this album since it dropped straight through. I have my favorites but every time I listen to this it gets better and better. I originally gave it 9.5/10 but this project is beyond fucking certified and it’s a classic already.
Mustard, Sounwave, Jack Antonoff produced this ( Jack co produced all on GNX except Peekaboo) Jack posted pic of Taylor & Sounwave in his studio at Electric Lady in NYC where Kendrick also was last December.
7:50 K-Dot might have skipped 3 cuz "124" is an UNTOUCHABLE number, which means it is not the sum of the proper divisors of any positive number. That number has other meanings as well...
According to google: Angel number: Some believe that the number 124 is an angel number that indicates progress and growth in life [1, 124 is a sign of progress and growth happening in your life]. It can also mean that happiness is the ability to cope with problems, rather than the absence of problems [124 says happiness is not the absence of problems but the ability to cope with them].
124: 1+2+4=7 Arch Angels Raphael = 7 Michael = 7 Gabriel = 7 Also 2Pac's 7 Day Theory The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory You can also check numerology on number 7 for more amazing analogies.
I also think it means that only two of each animal on the boat, the two goats being him and Jay Z (Kendrick often places himself second to him), so no other goats allowed on the boat, aka he gotta strangle the third one (Drake) trying to slip in haha, a warning to anyone else trying to come for that title.
@@papajergOr even, if you think about Drake & J Cole’s so-called “big three”, he’s killed Drake ( ‘strangled me a goat”) meaning K Dot and Cole are the two goats left. Also, Noah saved two of each animal in the Ark, a male and a female so they could breed; is he calling Cole a woman?!😂
Before the switch up it reminded me of Ying Yang Twins “Wait.” Representative of the duality theme of the album. Geminis are known for dual personality. They are their own Yin yang
@@KnoxHill KingK u always working over time man... but hey nobody does it like you do... im grateful I got u cos most these would go over my head🤯 u make me appreciate your craft a lot more💪 take it easy tho brother... don't forget to take care of the main one... Mr. Knox. Sending all the love... to you and your beautiful family🙏💙🙏
Sheeeeeeshhh beat is naaaaasstyyy slapppinnn 🔥🔥 cripwalkin while listening. Love when the synths come in. Makes it feel like something terrified is coming👌🏽
8:37 this might be reading it too much, but think about the significance of Noah strangling a goat. Noah only had two goats on that ark, so to kill one is to make Drake’s “kind” extinct. I think this aligns with the fact that this worlds idea of a goat will be forever changed after this - that Drake’s edition of GOAT status has been made meaningless and the values of this landscape are forever changed.
13:33 is a play on "little accident murderers and I ain't never heard of ya. Poisonous gats attack when I'm serving ya" -Tupacs hit em up Hussein Fatal
Bro bro bro… Im following these breakdowns HARD… I’m following this release down here in New Zealand 🇳🇿, the cultures not followed so close here so am absolutely loving these breakdowns, connecting with all his suble messages.. so happy we got a new Kenny album, I’m sorted for the next year or two again.. I feel like he’s gona drop again tho…
@@joeadams8643 nah the one on the gnx snippet, we all assuming its gonna be on an upcoming album but sometimes Kendrick does whatever tf he wants so he might never drop the track 😅
I love that you brought up the Yin & Yang thing. Cause this is exactly how I've been feeling Kendrick decided to switch during the Drake beef. Don't keep trying to push someone just because they aren't responding to your negativity. You never know what you may awaken in that other person. Karate Kid and even Gohan taught us this.
One thing I seen nobody talking about yet. About the "Magneto" line. There are lots of characters with god complex around every type of visual art. I don't think he chose Magneto just cuz it was the first one to jump out in his mind. Here's what I thought: Magneto's powers are related to magnetization. In other words, it's related to basically every type of metal. Y'all know what else is a metal? Lead. "You gon get what you ask for".
I was thinking bc magneto wears that helmet so prof x can’t get in his head but not only did dot get in his head, he predicted his every move. One could say read his mind. Idkkkkkkkkk
The production on this song is insane. It’s one of my favorites on the album if not thee favorite. That subtle siren in it reminds me of late night sounds living in the inner city.
Here we go! Remember everyone... we must take a second to relish in this moment! And if you haven't watched the other breakdowns... you better ketchup.
@KnoxHill 20:20 When he say "They wanna see me do my dance ". You hear 'Ah ' sound like MJ do. He also may saying "He is MJ and he will let em watch do his dance"
6:20 I took this as “we got the same 2024” as in: Kendrick Drake and Cole all had the same crown up for grabs this year - the same opportunity to win this battle. So there’s nothing to complain about; nobody to be mad at but yourself. I think it doubles for how you say as well though
I’m almost thinking the Ben Frank line is a double entendres. Like the money part is right, but in Not Like Us, he called Drake a colonizer. Which Ben Franklin obviously was as well. And since he talked about strangling a GOAT earlier, I think he was going from that angle with it, too
Knox Knox I'm 57 years old Knox You're the only one that breaks it down damn near correctly all the time like God okay Knox I know you're not a culture vulture Knox keep breaking it down cuz they don't understand I may add a few more things like the intro is a fight intro ring type music listen to me Knox I'm going to say it again again I must say I'm 57 years old My brother Kenny Murphy played for a lot of people he was a drummer from tiny Tim to Chaka Khan and Billy Paul RIP so I know about music baby and I'm telling you since you been on air I can't afford just subscription but you've been on point like God Amen and Kendrick put life back into hip hop it's not just about West Coast it's from Coast to coast he re Alive hip Hop he gave it the best musical shot we need better than the covid shot do you understand me Knox he reincarnated it I've been watching him since battle rap Kendrick Eminem has the vocabulary that is needed on every level they remind me of Tupac and biggie again I'll be 57 February the 7th I am an Aquarius I birth a Gemini my son Sean I understand My Kendrick Lamar Amen❤❤❤ Love you appreciate you respect you Mr Knox🎉🎉
3:11 it’s “yin” not yen. Yin is the left side of the body, the feminine aspect of us, it is internal and receptive. “I’m all up on my yin, get my peace from within”

I used to not like rap, but watching these breakdowns have helped me understand the artistry of it and now I listen to rap all the time.
Who do you listen to, I'm honestly curious, because I would love to introduce you to cool albums. I love new rap fans, and watching their taste grow.
I wasn't used to listen to Hip-hop, but his breakdowns really snapped something
@@eldrickemc4602Mostly Kendrick and MF DOOM. I also like the more jazzy 90s stuff, Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul. I've also really been liking Chromakopia, but haven't checked out Tyler's other stuff.

This is the opposite of a flex
Without a rhyme. I’m good with it though.💜
I don’t think I’ve ever listened to an entire album, no skips, this many times in a row. I haven’t listened to anything else 😂
same, all the way through more than once!!!!
Like real sh*t I’m legit don’t how many time I played it fully though! And now I’m here listening to it get break down!
I was just telling my sister the same thing. Haven’t stopped listening to it. No skips!
All weekend. Back to back!
Same. On my 5th listen at least 😂😂😂😅😊
This beat is HARD AF!! Feels like an E-40 beat.
Definitely had a Bay Area vibe to hit. lol
I thought this too
Literally thought the same thing when I first heard it
I wish 40 was on this album so bad. That’s my only gripe
A little slow for 40 but I hear what your thinking
Me just waiting for new and new video
Im so excited for “reincarnated” and “tv off”
Looking at the tracklist you know what the next two videos are gonna be 🤟
Same I can't wait to hear what he has to say about reincarnated. One of Kendrick's masterpieces \

Yooo😮😮
I'm soooo excited to watch your reincarnated & tv off breakdown 🤩🤍🎵🎶 *Don't keep us waiting too long, asking selfish and impatiently* 😄
Bruh!!! Im just now catching the extra layer of the Jack Dorsey line…he had/has issues wit drake too!! Kendrick is different
Yen also means deep desire so I guess it could be a triple?
I just realized Magneto is also Jewish...nother tag on Drake.

I didn’t know Doty was behind bars - this is why I love Kendrick. Giving opportunities to people who need it. ❤
A genius reacting to a genius. We appreciate you, Knox.Hill.
This beat has so much hyphy DNA in it. It's so Bay Area that E40 is still saying "uggghhh" in his scraper.
This was another ode to Bay Area, and specifically legend Keak da Sneak, his flow and tone
Speed it up. It’s a fun listen
I can’t wait till the nocal reactors get ahold to this and go DUMB I’m from socal but I just know this was made for the north, I feeling E40 and another gentleman’s vibes I don’t remember his name
7:58 the 1 2 4 count is him saying he just took out the number three goat. So he calling drake 3rd place… peep the next bar. “ I just strangled me a goat”.
This is how I took it, there is no 3.
Remember Kendrick said "F*** the big 3, it's just big me".
He occupies all 3 top spots and everyone close to him is 4th place
Just strangled me "A" goat. Only 1....This time.
Waccc'd out name dropped Wayne.
this song and album is so LA-coded it’s insane 😂🔥

7:50 K-Dot might have skipped 3 cuz "124" is an UNTOUCHABLE number, which means it is not the sum of the proper divisors of any positive number. That number has other meanings as well...

According to google: Angel number: Some believe that the number 124 is an angel number that indicates progress and growth in life [1, 124 is a sign of progress and growth happening in your life]. It can also mean that happiness is the ability to cope with problems, rather than the absence of problems [124 says happiness is not the absence of problems but the ability to cope with them].
124: 1+2+4=7
Arch Angels
Raphael = 7
Michael = 7
Gabriel = 7
Also 2Pac's 7 Day Theory
The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory
You can also check numerology on number 7 for more amazing analogies.
He simply just skips anything that adds up to 6 1,2,3 equals 6 but skip 3 you get 7
I think he skipped 3 because he’s getting impatient

Noah had to to "catch" two of each animal. Like the hide and seek count you were talking about. 🔥

Wish I had a big speaker when hearing these for the first time!! Soon enough all that was lost will be given back and I will be jamming as I wish!!!!
@KnoxHill 20:20 When he say "They wanna see me do my dance ". You hear 'Ah ' sound like MJ do. He also may saying "He is MJ and he will let em watch do his dance"
Knox Hill knocking the hill out of K. encrypted lyrics. That's a certified reactor there. Hey now, You're goat blud.
You have the best REACTIONS!
They were saying drop drop drop now they want kendrick to Stop stop stop....
THEY TURN HIM INTO A DEMUN
Kendrick: *next level bars*
Me: That was dope
Also me: Knox I'm 40 and high explain this to me
This song is crazy 🔥
Once again another top tier breakdown bro 🫡 always surprised about how in tune you are
Mustard! Oh Mustard. Top of the morning
🤣🫡
MUSTAAAAARRRRRRRDDDDDD
@@KnoxHill + Sounwave + Jack ( Jack co produced all but peekaboo)
The laying on the death bed bar is also them trying to be "fresh to death"; you literally and figurately have to be on your death bed to match Kenny.
18:01 I came here specifically to see if you would catch this bar. Knox Hill: You are ATL Certified. ✅
6:20 I took this as “we got the same 2024” as in: Kendrick Drake and Cole all had the same crown up for grabs this year - the same opportunity to win this battle. So there’s nothing to complain about; nobody to be mad at but yourself. I think it doubles for how you say as well though
The King of Breakdowns back to breakdown The King of Raps bars
Thanks for this breakdown
Been trying to understand the "put a square on his back like I'm Jack Dorsey" bar.
I was stalking your account for the next track
I like stalkers
@@KnoxHillLol careful what you wish for. People be crazy out there
Knox, BEST reactor out! Keep it going man.
BRuh made a whole album and still got those 10 dis songs we still havent heard
You interpret these bars like no other.... 🔥Thank you!
“You get free mustard this give away is hot dog” is crazy
This one has been my favorite so far. Absolutely amazing album!
I’m almost thinking the Ben Frank line is a double entendres. Like the money part is right, but in Not Like Us, he called Drake a colonizer.
Which Ben Franklin obviously was as well. And since he talked about strangling a GOAT earlier, I think he was going from that angle with it, too
Good morning! Just got back from my run, have coffee….lets goooooo
I madly appreciate your reactions and analyses. I learn so much about the GOAT and hip hop history ❤️🔥💯
I put a square on his back... a dot... also refers to Kendrick name. Dot is on yo back
Underrated comment
Great job breaking the lyrics down is fantastic 😊
I think this is my favorite one.
Mustard, Sounwave, and Jack Antonoff as the producer line up is fucking wilddd
You the best in breaking down theses lyrics bro. All the way from South Africa.
Bro I absolutely love your breakdowns. Much love from Norway❤️. Nobody does it better than you king.
This is probably the only rap album that I can listen without no skips. Just has an old school vibe. Obama must be proud lol.
Knox Knox I'm 57 years old Knox You're the only one that breaks it down damn near correctly all the time like God okay Knox I know you're not a culture vulture Knox keep breaking it down cuz they don't understand I may add a few more things like the intro is a fight intro ring type music listen to me Knox I'm going to say it again again I must say I'm 57 years old My brother Kenny Murphy played for a lot of people he was a drummer from tiny Tim to Chaka Khan and Billy Paul RIP so I know about music baby and I'm telling you since you been on air I can't afford just subscription but you've been on point like God Amen and Kendrick put life back into hip hop it's not just about West Coast it's from Coast to coast he re Alive hip Hop he gave it the best musical shot we need better than the covid shot do you understand me Knox he reincarnated it I've been watching him since battle rap Kendrick Eminem has the vocabulary that is needed on every level they remind me of Tupac and biggie again I'll be 57 February the 7th I am an Aquarius I birth a Gemini my son Sean I understand My Kendrick Lamar Amen❤❤❤ Love you appreciate you respect you Mr Knox🎉🎉
Masterpiece ! and you knox you gotta good ears.
"Whats your favorite condiment?" MUUUUSSSSTTTTAAARRRDDDD!! xD
Hi Drake! 🤣 2:15
15:40 PAUSE ⏸️
3:11 it’s “yin” not yen. Yin is the left side of the body, the feminine aspect of us, it is internal and receptive. “I’m all up on my yin, get my peace from within”
It is yen
(Aliens) LA-eans = LA people. Damn that's out of this world bar!
I've been waiting for someone to catch the X-men theme music on that beat drop
Love the way he breaks down the rap, I never understood this song until i watched this video.
You know we in for a good one when Knox points at the camera
