What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you want to see what’s going on with the music - check out my latest song about mental health. It’s called ‘Help Me’ & it’s out now - I know the name says one thing but hopefully it helps some others out there and can make an impact (however small)🖤🙏 ruclips.net/video/mX7euqKIjgI/видео.html
Labour by Paris Paloma, its such a powerful song. especially the last verse where the vocals overlap, if u listen carefully you can hear a younger voice singing.
Ren's The tale of Jenny and Screech (full song) is a modern day Shakespearean tragedy and perhaps the most artistic song I've ever heard. Would absolutely love your take on it.
I went back to your original 1st breakdown of HI Ren... again.. this morning and begged you to reach out and interview Ren in person or over social media.. Think The JRE and his crazy interviews that aren’t just superficial but deep with his guests... It would be the greatest gift to all of us that appreciate what and how well you do a reaction and to get to know more about Ren and his production TEAM... Sam is a whole level Genius himself and we need to knowwwwww.. more about ALL of this story.. So much light 💡 has been shown by you and Black Pegasus and a couple smaller channels to Rens masterclasses that he’s giving us.. We need to know the Behind the scenes on The trilogy .... for sure.. Hi Ren.. All the genre blending mixed with killing it .. Camera work..ect.... STEP up to the PLATE interviews would be badddass🔥🔥🔥🔥@Knox hill @Renmakesmusic
This clip takes voyeurism to a whole other level - us watching Ren, us on YT watching Knox watching Ren, us on Twitch watching Ren watching Knox watching Ren, us on YT watching Kxox watching Ren watching Knox watching Ren...salute to both of you....two artists showing genuine mutual curiosity and respect, absolutely loved this.
Ren has had a "rising tides lift all boats" philosophy. He feels strongly about building community, and he is aware that reactors have a really unique space to help build something great.
A little earlier in the chat, Ren talked about the positive feedback loop between artists and reaction channels. It was really nice. And when he began crying when the reaction videos started popping up, I think the rest of us were crying too...or was that just me? 🤣
I'm a 48 year old grandmother and was around when hip-hop was born that's why this is so interesting to me watching the young people of today take the torch and carry it on in new way's ❤ and watching y'all support one another is such a good thing being kind is easy and free
Im 47 2 pac wutang heavy D easy E odb what an era but the music was nothing like Ren he is on a different level love love finding great new music and holy crap these guys (Knox and Ren ) are Hotttt I mean we had vanilla ice fml lol
There's another video of Ren on twitch where he first sees all the reactions to Illest of our Time and he breaks down in tears. His humility is as great as his talent.
Knox I watched the original of Illest of our time then went directly to your channel cause you do catch Everything! I’m 63 and no rap history I’ve found you do the best easiest breakdowns. I’m really happy Ren recognizes your strength. You deserve it 😊
Ren is bringing us into a new era of rap. I personally believe the old skool rap, with the use of "hoes, sex, gold chains, bitches, n word", is over. Maybe not for the hardcore rap fans, but for the everyday music lover. It's a new time, and hope and raw honest emotion is once again needed and appreciated. IMO❤
I’ve noticed how active Ren is with interacting with fans, reactors, and supporters in general. It’s so cool how open he is to his life. Makes his music even better.
This was a wholesome watch. I've always been impressed by your quick-wittedness in your reactions - I guess doing it live and putting yourself under pressure is what works for you, and it works for us as viewers too. So nice to see everyone lift each other up like this. And Ren is such a sweetie, it's perplexing how his music is so sick. Oddly proud of all of ya.
I agree with everything you've said except not understanding how Ren's music is so sickbbuy he's a sweetie. When you've gone through Hell and fought to get back, you appreciate how little time we have so why waste it being mean?
One thing I don't agree with is that artists don't need reactors. An artist with money and record label behind them, maybe not so much. But an independent artist like Ren definitely does. It's because of you guys, whether the channels has 100 subs or 1 Million subs, that Ren is finally starting to reap what he sowed. The underground of music is on RUclips. Reactors are the word of mouth. 🙌
Agreed I only found Ren through a reaction channel then the rabbit hole led me here which then led me to nf. Such a nice organic way to find new artists etc
You're blushing Knox☺️ it has to be an awesome feeling to have the artist that you worked so hard to break down to actually do a reaction to you reacting to him and they're validating your opinions. And no one that I've come across and reaction channels deserves it more.
Ren is amazing, Knox I am here because of all you're amazing reactions to ren. I even showed my dad you're reaction to Ren's song, the first thing he said was how amazed he was about you're general knowledge on picking up all the finer details. Loved it!
I'll be honest, i did not like rap at all until i discovered Ren, so Ren got me into rap but you taught me about rap through your reaction vids. Between yourself and Ren you have done something that i didn't think possible and that no rap artist in the last few dacades has done and that is to make me appreciate rap. Had a big smile on my face watching this vid. Now, this World needs a KnoxHill/Ren collab. Sending love and repect to you all the way from the UK. LETSGOOO.
i think Ren recognises that many of us would not know him or have sought out his music if we hadn't bumped into him on a reactor's channel. I myself found out about him thanks to Elizabeth, from the charismatic voice channel. Tapping into and looping back to the reactors circuit when you find yourself on the crest of a viral wave is both smart and respectful. On one hand it must be really encouraging for him to see that so many people appreciate his work, on the other hand, he doesn't have a label, and the word of mouth service many of you provide has been vital to give him the visibility he has now. and yah, he's right.. you do seem to be one of the reactors most in tune with his references... you from the rapper/industry angle, Becca Doss from the angle of sharing a very similar medical history as Ren.
It's funny. I have a friend who caught him from Charismatic Voice and shared it with our crew. And I didn't watch 'cause I'm behind on my viewing. But then Ken Lavigne dropped his reaction, which is the one I caught. He's too intelligent not to understand that reactions to his work isn't competition; it's support.
Definitely reaction channels is one of his biggest ways of reaching people, since he doesn't really do standard advertisement, so it's all mouth to mouth. I guess we could say that, given his choice, letting encouraging reactors to do this (and letting them know there won't be copyright strikes) is smart, but I personally think it just comes from Ren's principles, and that heu's genuinely surprised and pleased to see how many people is reacting to him and appretiating his work, I don't think he's yet accustomed to this level of recognition.
This is next level. There’s a lot to say about Ren’s talent but it’s also crazy beautiful that he is spreading his own notoriety by lifting others up. Screw you, record labels 😆
I’m a 54 year old woman who really doesn’t listen to rap but here I am! Lol getting knee deep into your analysis of REN’s video I’m learning a lot from you’re a good teacher 😊
Ren is so good 🔥🔥 from the first time I heard of his music years ago, I’m still in shock with the way Ren’s mind words! The art, the lyrics, the imagery! It’s all so insane
Well deserved flowers for Knox the reaction GOAT! Been watching A LOT of reactions to help push Ren, and there are a lot who are clearly inspired by you. I love how both of you dedicate yourselves to your craft, and you both take your messages seriously. I am jumping in the band waggon, I would love to see you two collaborate. Actually, both on a track, and also maybe in conversation on the channel. Thanks for all the work you put into this and your music.
Ren is so sweet and he is correct, your breakdowns are really good. the others musicians ive seen react to you are saying the same. well done knox and its really good to see the artist's appreciate what you and others reactors doing♥️👏
Of course he listened to your music! It’s Ren, music is everything for him like it is for you and those of us who follow what you all do 🙃 Stay true to you!
YES! A lot of us watched your reaction WITH REN and it was stellar to hear how perceptive you are! I believe it comes from being an artist and having that real understanding of the work that goes into not only creating music, but into making the visuals too. Thank you for all YOU do!
Dude, yes Knox. You are doing yourself a HUGE favor checkin out his older stuff. People list the same 5 or so songs to listen to but IMO he has so many bangers that are just as good as those few we see named all the time. Also, his first band "Trick The Fox" has some very cool tunes and you can really see how he grew as an artist. His band The Big Push is also unbelievably talented, they have really good originals and also phenomenal covers.
🙏I'm an old man. I'm in your tribe because of how intelligently and thoughtfully you react. Not a rapper but I greatly appreciate music as a tool to manipulate my mental state. I appreciate you and look forward to every video you publish. 🤟👊
Massive respect to you both. I think it's as simple as two gentlemen who are in the same line of work seeing and respecting one another. In modern times, it's a beautiful thing. I agree that it says a lot about Ren for how much class he shows in reaching out to reactors and showing love. For someone who's been through so much, it never ceases to amaze me how kind and humble he really is. I think that the same can be said for you too. Your knowledge of rhyme and meter, not to mention production and skills with wordplay are tremendous, but I have to tell you the people that I think we all appreciate the most in life, especially for someone who just gives us layers and layers of meaning, insinuation, double entendre, etc. The guy who gets it is always appreciated. Think about this- I think Ren is about to take off into super stardom. What he did here, in my opinion is what it would be like if John Lennon sat down on an interview or at a show or something right before the Beatles blew up and said- let me show you how this guy gets it. He's a good guy and a musician himself. I really think this is like that moment. I just think this is 100% cool all the way around. The hardest are the most humble, the kindest, those who are smarter than most everyone else, but also wise enough to know that we're all equal in dignity and worth irrespective. I think you and Ren both fit that bill.
I think , you Black Pegasus and Ren , should do a show in all 3 of your channels in which the three of you share with each other music you’ve reacted to that you liked , or were surprised by , just together break it down . Pure gold
I found this channel from the Hi Ren reaction. Tbh Im not really a rap fan, but Ive been using reaction videos to help me understand rap more. Your videso are amazing because you really do break stuff down. I think a ren interview video would be amazing ❤
Your breakdowns of songs makes me appreciate them even more, just like Ren says you don't miss a freaking beat, me being a metalhead I understand that world well, but you are really helping me wrap my head around the cool stuff that is happening in rapping etc.. so really appreciate what you do!
i missed Ren’s live because i was getting ready for work, but as soon as i had some downtime that night when most of my patients were sleeping (yay for night shifts) i pulled up his song and then his broadcast. his genuine and humble response to seeing there were already reaction videos to Illest up was really powerful. that he didn’t pause his feed and he let everyone see him wiping his tears away told me more about him as a person and an artist than any words could have done. and i sat there grinning like a fool the whole time he was watching you 😃 it really was just beyond wholesome, and i’m so glad that you not only watched it, but chose to share it with us 💜
I was so ecstatic to see Ren react to your breakdown. There are so many great reactors on RUclips, but there is only one Knox Hill. The true GOAT. Your videos help me to appreciate the artistry behind songs, that I either don't hear or can't put words to myself. Thank you Knox.
I watched Ren on Twitch and the moment he started to look for reactions and got so genuinely emotional even brought me to tears almost... And then he gave this whole shout-out to all the reactors and how he appreciates what they do and how the artists and reactors can help each other out and lift each other up... that was just 💘 And it's true, it was the reactors I followed that introduced me to Ren, and then again, digging into his work brought me to some other awesome reactors - and you were one of the first ones I immediately subscribed to because your reactions are very special. You manage to capture not only the emotions and one can see the pure joy that good music and rap bring you but at the same time, I'm being given an actual lesson without being bored for a second! No wonder Ren loves them, too 😁 I am still in shock about how much exceptionally good music he's been making for years now (not to forget those incredible music videos!) and still stayed under the radar, just because there's no big money or power behind to advertise it or put it on the radio and playlists... So here's my personal shout-out to the music reactors like you that take the effort to show us and spread real good music, no matter if there's a big record label behind or if it's just amazing, independent artists like Ren! ♥🙏
Watching this happen live -what a ride. So much fun and awesome seeing the creators and reactors lifting each other up and showing respect to the respective crafts.
We don't realize what it takes to break down music like Knox does, and Knox I just want to say thanks for all you do to help us understand the music better, and this video made me realize how much work you put into it and I still feel like I'm underestimating the work you put into it so again thanks Knox!
Great video. It started out funny with you complaining about your own intro, but I think that by itself says a lot about Ren: He didn’t skip it. He could have at any time just plopped right to the beginning of the song, but nope, helping advertise you and your music in the cut. And just when you didn’t think you could get any more compliments from him, boom: “My mates are waiting for me. It’s my birthday.” And then he delays thrice waiting for your next catch. … I dunno, can you get more compliments in 17 minutes? And I dunno if I’m misreading, but I had the sense there were several moments you were at least a little nervous, which I’m not used to seeing. If I’m right, shows how much you value Ren’s thoughts. Huge congrats!
Keep up the awesome reactions. “Artists don’t owe reactors anything” True but in the words of Ronnie in his tweet and Tom in his live streams, you guys shine a light on their music and they appreciate it so much and we the listeners appreciate you too. You’re the first reactor I go to for any new music dropped by artists like NF, Falling In Reverse, Tom McDonald etc… As a Rap artist and reaction channel you might be the only link that gets someone who primarily listens to Rap into rock/ metal and bands like Falling In Reverse on the flip side your rock reactions might be the only bridge that links some people to the amazing Rap artists you shine a light on. Much love ❤️
I just received Ren's CDs yesterday. 🔥🔥🔥 I'm hoping I can get him to sign them one day. I'm 47 years old and I have not been this excited about a new artist in a while. (I think the last time was when I stumbled on The Pretty Reckless - another versatile band - no rap but I'm a metal guy so they are right up my alley anyway - you have to be a special rapper to get me to like your music and Ren is just that!) Shipping from UK was actually superfast too.
Ren has quickly skyrocketed to my favorite on Spotify. I like walking and his music is perfect. Knox you are great. Your insight is beyond genius. I appreciate your talent in everything.
You mentioned that artists don't need reactors to be successful. While that might be true it certainly doesn't hurt especially for those of you that are independent. You, Ren, and Harry Mack are a few that come to mind (among others) that I found through other reactors. Platforms like this and I guess also Tik Tok are great for discovery. I'll be honest and say I was never really much of a rap person in the past, but RUclips pulled me deep down the rabbit hole and it's an art form I mainly watch on here now.
I'm a metal head, but love how you breakdown any music. Massive fan of Ren right now, but caught some of your metal reactions and really enjoyed your take and insight. Really really appreciate you, thanks!
Knox bro you deserve all the compliments!!!! I’ve commented before saying that your reactions are the most detailed and educated on you tube as far as I’m concerned. I can see a BIG time bromance developing here 🤣 can’t wait for the colab 👊🏻
Ren was so emotional watching the reactions, genuinely appreciative of you all.These reactions can only be a positive in his recovery and coping with his treatment. Love your reactions. ❤
Artists supporting artists is one of the coolest things to see. I'm hoping in the not too distant future when I start to trickle my work out, to also be a branch of that same tree. Much respect to you Knox and also of course Ren. Both of you are incredibly down to earth, very real people. Thank you for all your hard work, it is absolutely appreciated. Now, back to my lyrics sheet :p
I went looking for reactions to Hi Ren after the first time I saw it because I wanted to see the impact it had on people just like it had on me. I think it was yours that I found first and I watched several others afterwards. But I couldn’t help thinking “I hope Ren sees Knox Hills reaction!” Because I figured it was such a great breakdown, lyrically, musically etc. So to see that Ren has seen your reactions and now reacted to one is just too cool. As artists we leave interpretation up to the audience but it must be the most rewarding feeling to see someone totally get it, even the little nuances. Stoked for Ren to have experienced that and for Knox to be so highly validated. I can’t say enough good things about this, Ren, Knox, the whole deal. More power to you both! One love.
I didn''t watch reaction videos until Ren's stuff started doing the rounds. I've also now watched every reaction you've done to his music because you actually get a lot of the things I feel people miss. Ren is really deep. Anyone can rhyme, anyone can stitch a bunch of words together, but when it gets to multiple meanings, connected bars etc, Ren does it along with some really creative music. You pick up on it and and that makes your channel worth watching.
Congratulations on this epic experience of having Ren acknowledge your insight and breakdown of his new release. That was so amazing. I really enjoyed your sincere appreciation of this surreal moment. Just from this short video, I got so much insight as to the complexity and in-depth meaning of what Rap really is. This is a real eye-opener for those of us who always thought of rap as just words that rhyme put to a beat. Great Respect for your musical dedication to this art form. Peach out. ...
I was on that twitch chat with Ren and the other RENegades, it was Ren's birthday, some of his mates flown to Canada to spend his birthday with him. Ren is such a lovely down to earth bloke, he got all emotional about the reactions to his new drop. Signed up to twitch just to do this live chat with Ren and other fans. So much love for him, and for you Knox. Love your tunes too.
My two favorite boys ❤🔥❤🔥 Later today Ren is going to watch Knox watch Ren watch Knox watch Ren How long can you two keep this going????? A real-time react-off.
I was on the Twitch stream for this , it was such fun. I hope you got to see how many people were asking for your reaction. (And Musiclee too) Now we just need to get Ren to react to you reacting , to his reaction of you reacting to his video. 🤪 Loved how happy that made you and how happy it made him too. Hope you saw the happy tears part too 🥰 🐇🕳️🖤
So I’m not going to talk about the music , just want to say how much respect I have for these two guys. Seem really down to earth and genuine. Loved watching this.
I love that Ren gave you a shout-out. I'm a 60 + woman, and I like to keep up with new music. I saw Hi Ren and thought it was tremendous. I wanted to see what others thought, so I looked at some reactors. You were catching all of Ren's amazing lines, and you were analyzing them so well. I've subscribed now and am enjoying your reactions.
Bro for real tho, NO ONE has been so On Point with Everything Ren does that makes his music magical!!! I'm all here for it!!! Let's get you to 1 mil subs!!!!!
I loved this, this was really cool🙌😊 Well deserved shout out to you! I was on Twitch at the time watching this all unfold live! So lovely to see Ren enjoying himself on his birthday and him humbly expressing his appreciation to all his fans and reactors on YT x
53 year old here, had no interest in rap or hip hop and I’m so blown away by Ren that I’ve gone down this 4 day (so far) rabbit hole that led me here… and I’m so happy for you 🥲. Congratulations. I can only imagine what this must have meant to you. I have watched some of your other videos and between the two of you I might be changing my mind about the genre. Although I kind of think Ren is a genre unto himself.
Watched the whole shebang, the original track, your reaction, his stream, and this! Loved every bit of it. Knox Hawkeye Hill, you catch everything and it's satisfying for me personally that you catch what I do coz then I don't feel so insane taking symbolism too far. With Ren I have free range coz he's so well-read I have no doubt he created so many levels to read into his art. Mad respect for both of you!
You're right, it's like there's a special chemistry between you! Personally, I like you both very much. Well deserved compliments from Ren to you. Take them to your heart. Thank you for your reactions
Good for you, I've seen hundreds of reactors and you're the most skilled at analyzing bars and all different kinds of music that I've ever seen. You've taught me so much. Congratulations for being recognized 👏 🎉😎👍❤.
This is so cool Knox. What amazing validation. Ren is an absolute god too. You are incredible at breaking things down and the songs you choose to review are 100% to my taste so props to however you choose them. Thanks for helping me find a lot of great artists!
Hey Knox, I'm a metalhead who found you through your metal reactions. But I've always found your reactions to be super smart and aware. That Ren saw you and reacted is everything you deserve. Big love from Scotland.
That is awesome. Thank you for sharing that special moment with all of us. I always enjoy your reactions , especially of Ren and NF music. You are now Ren certified. :)
This so cool! I think independent artists do need reaction videos. Especially when they have 919K subs. Believe me you hove more power than you give yourself credit. I got a heart from Ren from one of my comments and I feel special. Reactors is how i discovered Ren. I look forward to your interview with him.
It Says a lot about you as an artist that someone as profoundly talented as Ren has recognized that in you as well. I literally JUST found your channel going down the Ren Rabbit Hole. I haven't heard a note of your music YET but already subscribed to your channel cuz anyone he goes out of his way to give props to must be worth their weight in Salt. I rarely share music unless it really resonates with me. but I have not been shy about sharing Ren's tracks all over Odysee. Shadilay has a 24/7 Livestream over in, what is lovingly referred to as "The Pond" and he hosts an after party after the Salty Cracker--tonight actually. My intuition tells me Ima be sharing some Knox Hill all around The Pond as well. I'd love to get an interview with you and Ren over there some time, cuz those Salty Savages love to promote and share based music that has a message. For now though, my request would be that you & Ren Livestream the both of you reacting to meeting one another (if you haven't already by the time I catch up in a verse later) and then both of you then reacting to the reaction video of Bo Burnham's Reaction to His Own Video. THAT would be epic. Like the Icing on the Cake of a Perfect Day! Blessed Be Brother! ~Frogsprings
You are an amazing reactor and I am always super impressed by your fast mind and intelligence... so great to see you getting the acknowledgement you deserve... and ren is impressive in his own right and a good and kind hearted soul
Just found this one. SUPER rad on many levels! The depth of Ren's impact has so many levels I've lost count. Showing how much positivity and love comes out when we all appreciate and support each other. Nothing better than artists that are also true fans and can 'geek out' right there beside us all
What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you want to see what’s going on with the music - check out my latest song about mental health. It’s called ‘Help Me’ & it’s out now - I know the name says one thing but hopefully it helps some others out there and can make an impact (however small)🖤🙏 ruclips.net/video/mX7euqKIjgI/видео.html
Knox please do Songer the Sunrise Session @Blackbox.
Labour by Paris Paloma, its such a powerful song. especially the last verse where the vocals overlap, if u listen carefully you can hear a younger voice singing.

i clipped into the backrooms reading this. its not even breaking the 4th wall, we went like 6 walls in
dude i am high... stop it! ;)
🤣🤣🤣 funny AF but so true
If Ren does a reaction to this video it'll reach new levels
Can't wait for the Ren and Knox colab. Need some music from you two.
Yeah, can definitely see that happening now! 👍
Let's go!!!
Yes please
Exactly
Oh shii... That would be pretty dope!
Ren has had a "rising tides lift all boats" philosophy. He feels strongly about building community, and he is aware that reactors have a really unique space to help build something great.
Ren is right though. The way you break down the psychology of the lyrics is pretty unique and really kinda awesome. Keep up the good work.

gonna be 48 myself in a few days and I have to say, music is gonna be okay if we keep getting artists like Ren.
There's another video of Ren on twitch where he first sees all the reactions to Illest of our Time and he breaks down in tears. His humility is as great as his talent.
Ren is pure, genuine class. And dude, you made him smile ear to ear.
Knox I watched the original of Illest of our time then went directly to your channel cause you do catch Everything! I’m 63 and no rap history I’ve found you do the best easiest breakdowns. I’m really happy Ren recognizes your strength. You deserve it 😊
I also am 63 and your comment is exactly what I would have written if you hadn't commented first😊
72 y.o. and a Ren fan. Now a Knox fan.
I concur.
I’m 61 and I happen to have a lot of rap history. My son introduced me to Atmosphere and Mac Miller days. You guys are on another level.
Ren is bringing us into a new era of rap. I personally believe the old skool rap, with the use of "hoes, sex, gold chains, bitches, n word", is over. Maybe not for the hardcore rap fans, but for the everyday music lover. It's a new time, and hope and raw honest emotion is once again needed and appreciated. IMO❤

Absolutely!! He introduced me to ren and Harry mack! Knox is Goated
Had to come back and rewatch the birth of one of my favorite online bromances being born! Knox and Ren, the beginning of an Era! ❤❤❤
Absolutely love artists supporting each other. Great video and commentary.
You're blushing Knox☺️ it has to be an awesome feeling to have the artist that you worked so hard to break down to actually do a reaction to you reacting to him and they're validating your opinions. And no one that I've come across and reaction channels deserves it more.
You deserve all your success bro. It makes sense for Ren to get and appreciate what you do and respect it. You’ve been Ren certified, haha.
I can feel your appreciation. It’s moments like this that shows you, that you doing the right thing
Ren is amazing, Knox I am here because of all you're amazing reactions to ren. I even showed my dad you're reaction to Ren's song, the first thing he said was how amazed he was about you're general knowledge on picking up all the finer details. Loved it!

Between yourself and Ren you have done something that i didn't think possible and that no rap artist in the last few dacades has done and that is to make me appreciate rap. Had a big smile on my face watching this vid. Now, this World needs a KnoxHill/Ren collab. Sending love and repect to you all the way from the UK. LETSGOOO.
A Ren/Knox collab is what this world needs right now .
i think Ren recognises that many of us would not know him or have sought out his music if we hadn't bumped into him on a reactor's channel. I myself found out about him thanks to Elizabeth, from the charismatic voice channel. Tapping into and looping back to the reactors circuit when you find yourself on the crest of a viral wave is both smart and respectful. On one hand it must be really encouraging for him to see that so many people appreciate his work, on the other hand, he doesn't have a label, and the word of mouth service many of you provide has been vital to give him the visibility he has now.
and yah, he's right.. you do seem to be one of the reactors most in tune with his references... you from the rapper/industry angle, Becca Doss from the angle of sharing a very similar medical history as Ren.
It's funny. I have a friend who caught him from Charismatic Voice and shared it with our crew. And I didn't watch 'cause I'm behind on my viewing. But then Ken Lavigne dropped his reaction, which is the one I caught.
He's too intelligent not to understand that reactions to his work isn't competition; it's support.
I wouldn't have known Ren (yet) if it weren't for reaction channels👍
Yeah, Becca is fantastic, too.
Definitely reaction channels is one of his biggest ways of reaching people, since he doesn't really do standard advertisement, so it's all mouth to mouth. I guess we could say that, given his choice, letting encouraging reactors to do this (and letting them know there won't be copyright strikes) is smart, but I personally think it just comes from Ren's principles, and that heu's genuinely surprised and pleased to see how many people is reacting to him and appretiating his work, I don't think he's yet accustomed to this level of recognition.
Same here. I discovered him through reactors too. Saw so many react to him and figured out I needed to see Ren too
Knox you and Ren both seem like such genuinely nice guys. It’s really refreshing to have guys with a platform who remain humble. Keep doing you!
This is next level. There’s a lot to say about Ren’s talent but it’s also crazy beautiful that he is spreading his own notoriety by lifting others up. Screw you, record labels 😆
I’m a 54 year old woman who really doesn’t listen to rap but here I am! Lol getting knee deep into your analysis of REN’s video I’m learning a lot from you’re a good teacher 😊
❤❤❤
this is great, honestly explore new things and enjoy yourself! :D
Ren is so good 🔥🔥 from the first time I heard of his music years ago, I’m still in shock with the way Ren’s mind words! The art, the lyrics, the imagery! It’s all so insane
I'm jealous. Just discovered Ren a few weeks ago.
@@deborahlester4018 better late than never
Well deserved flowers for Knox the reaction GOAT! Been watching A LOT of reactions to help push Ren, and there are a lot who are clearly inspired by you. I love how both of you dedicate yourselves to your craft, and you both take your messages seriously. I am jumping in the band waggon, I would love to see you two collaborate. Actually, both on a track, and also maybe in conversation on the channel. Thanks for all the work you put into this and your music.
Ren is so sweet and he is correct, your breakdowns are really good. the others musicians ive seen react to you are saying the same.
well done knox and its really good to see the artist's appreciate what you and others reactors doing♥️👏
Watching this after seeing you rap on stage with Ren.... I love having seen this all play out. AWESOME!
Same
Of course he listened to your music! It’s Ren, music is everything for him like it is for you and those of us who follow what you all do 🙃 Stay true to you!
YES! A lot of us watched your reaction WITH REN and it was stellar to hear how perceptive you are! I believe it comes from being an artist and having that real understanding of the work that goes into not only creating music, but into making the visuals too. Thank you for all YOU do!
Dude, yes Knox. You are doing yourself a HUGE favor checkin out his older stuff. People list the same 5 or so songs to listen to but IMO he has so many bangers that are just as good as those few we see named all the time.
Also, his first band "Trick The Fox" has some very cool tunes and you can really see how he grew as an artist. His band The Big Push is also unbelievably talented, they have really good originals and also phenomenal covers.
🙏I'm an old man. I'm in your tribe because of how intelligently and thoughtfully you react. Not a rapper but I greatly appreciate music as a tool to manipulate my mental state. I appreciate you and look forward to every video you publish. 🤟👊
Massive respect to you both. I think it's as simple as two gentlemen who are in the same line of work seeing and respecting one another. In modern times, it's a beautiful thing. I agree that it says a lot about Ren for how much class he shows in reaching out to reactors and showing love. For someone who's been through so much, it never ceases to amaze me how kind and humble he really is. I think that the same can be said for you too. Your knowledge of rhyme and meter, not to mention production and skills with wordplay are tremendous, but I have to tell you the people that I think we all appreciate the most in life, especially for someone who just gives us layers and layers of meaning, insinuation, double entendre, etc. The guy who gets it is always appreciated.
Think about this- I think Ren is about to take off into super stardom. What he did here, in my opinion is what it would be like if John Lennon sat down on an interview or at a show or something right before the Beatles blew up and said- let me show you how this guy gets it. He's a good guy and a musician himself. I really think this is like that moment. I just think this is 100% cool all the way around.
The hardest are the most humble, the kindest, those who are smarter than most everyone else, but also wise enough to know that we're all equal in dignity and worth irrespective. I think you and Ren both fit that bill.
John Lennon was a piece of shit human. Ren is an amazing human. The only thing they have in common is England.
I think , you Black Pegasus and Ren , should do a show in all 3 of your channels in which the three of you share with each other music you’ve reacted to that you liked , or were surprised by , just together break it down . Pure gold
I found this channel from the Hi Ren reaction. Tbh Im not really a rap fan, but Ive been using reaction videos to help me understand rap more. Your videso are amazing because you really do break stuff down. I think a ren interview video would be amazing ❤
Heart-warming!!! Hope you can arrange an interview with Ren on your channel - it would be amazing!!!!!
Your breakdowns of songs makes me appreciate them even more, just like Ren says you don't miss a freaking beat, me being a metalhead I understand that world well, but you are really helping me wrap my head around the cool stuff that is happening in rapping etc.. so really appreciate what you do!
i missed Ren’s live because i was getting ready for work, but as soon as i had some downtime that night when most of my patients were sleeping (yay for night shifts) i pulled up his song and then his broadcast.
his genuine and humble response to seeing there were already reaction videos to Illest up was really powerful. that he didn’t pause his feed and he let everyone see him wiping his tears away told me more about him as a person and an artist than any words could have done. and i sat there grinning like a fool the whole time he was watching you 😃 it really was just beyond wholesome, and i’m so glad that you not only watched it, but chose to share it with us 💜
I was so ecstatic to see Ren react to your breakdown. There are so many great reactors on RUclips, but there is only one Knox Hill. The true GOAT. Your videos help me to appreciate the artistry behind songs, that I either don't hear or can't put words to myself. Thank you Knox.
I watched Ren on Twitch and the moment he started to look for reactions and got so genuinely emotional even brought me to tears almost... And then he gave this whole shout-out to all the reactors and how he appreciates what they do and how the artists and reactors can help each other out and lift each other up... that was just 💘
And it's true, it was the reactors I followed that introduced me to Ren, and then again, digging into his work brought me to some other awesome reactors - and you were one of the first ones I immediately subscribed to because your reactions are very special. You manage to capture not only the emotions and one can see the pure joy that good music and rap bring you but at the same time, I'm being given an actual lesson without being bored for a second! No wonder Ren loves them, too 😁
I am still in shock about how much exceptionally good music he's been making for years now (not to forget those incredible music videos!) and still stayed under the radar, just because there's no big money or power behind to advertise it or put it on the radio and playlists... So here's my personal shout-out to the music reactors like you that take the effort to show us and spread real good music, no matter if there's a big record label behind or if it's just amazing, independent artists like Ren!
♥🙏

It’s the clipped portion of the twitch. For anyone who hasn’t seen it.
He was signed at 18 to Sony. They dropped him when he got sick. In hindsight, staying independent is probably so much better for him
Love this. Ren and yourself are always worth a listen.
Now we need Ren to react to this. Or just have a chat with each other on stream already 😂 Would love to watch that ❤
Watching this happen live -what a ride. So much fun and awesome seeing the creators and reactors lifting each other up and showing respect to the respective crafts.
We don't realize what it takes to break down music like Knox does, and Knox I just want to say thanks for all you do to help us understand the music better, and this video made me realize how much work you put into it and I still feel like I'm underestimating the work you put into it so again thanks Knox!
Great video.
It started out funny with you complaining about your own intro, but I think that by itself says a lot about Ren: He didn’t skip it. He could have at any time just plopped right to the beginning of the song, but nope, helping advertise you and your music in the cut.
And just when you didn’t think you could get any more compliments from him, boom: “My mates are waiting for me. It’s my birthday.”
And then he delays thrice waiting for your next catch.
… I dunno, can you get more compliments in 17 minutes?
And I dunno if I’m misreading, but I had the sense there were several moments you were at least a little nervous, which I’m not used to seeing. If I’m right, shows how much you value Ren’s thoughts.
Huge congrats!
Keep up the awesome reactions. “Artists don’t owe reactors anything” True but in the words of Ronnie in his tweet and Tom in his live streams, you guys shine a light on their music and they appreciate it so much and we the listeners appreciate you too. You’re the first reactor I go to for any new music dropped by artists like NF, Falling In Reverse, Tom McDonald etc…
As a Rap artist and reaction channel you might be the only link that gets someone who primarily listens to Rap into rock/ metal and bands like Falling In Reverse on the flip side your rock reactions might be the only bridge that links some people to the amazing Rap artists you shine a light on.
Much love ❤️
Ren understands that artists and reactors help each other. He knows you are part of the reason he blew up.
This is why I watch you Knox. You're the best lyrical breakdown artist in the game.
This is unique. It’s my first time seeing an artist react to another artist reacting to the first artists art. Lol, love it.
I think this bromance will turn into a collaboration now that would be awesome! Really good seeing both of you react to each other fantastic job
Knox is growing fast as a rapper and up the game.
All the Love and Best to you and very happy to be one of your fans.
😊
I just received Ren's CDs yesterday. 🔥🔥🔥
I'm hoping I can get him to sign them one day.
I'm 47 years old and I have not been this excited about a new artist in a while. (I think the last time was when I stumbled on The Pretty Reckless - another versatile band - no rap but I'm a metal guy so they are right up my alley anyway - you have to be a special rapper to get me to like your music and Ren is just that!)
Shipping from UK was actually superfast too.
Ren has quickly skyrocketed to my favorite on Spotify. I like walking and his music is perfect. Knox you are great. Your insight is beyond genius. I appreciate your talent in everything.
You mentioned that artists don't need reactors to be successful. While that might be true it certainly doesn't hurt especially for those of you that are independent. You, Ren, and Harry Mack are a few that come to mind (among others) that I found through other reactors. Platforms like this and I guess also Tik Tok are great for discovery. I'll be honest and say I was never really much of a rap person in the past, but RUclips pulled me deep down the rabbit hole and it's an art form I mainly watch on here now.
I'm a metal head, but love how you breakdown any music. Massive fan of Ren right now, but caught some of your metal reactions and really enjoyed your take and insight. Really really appreciate you, thanks!
what a feeling it must be for you to hear him say these things about you and the skills you bring to your reactions. good for you dude.
Ren is absolutely a class act. Warm, genuine, and kind. So it makes sense he'd be a fan. ❤
Knox bro you deserve all the compliments!!!! I’ve commented before saying that your reactions are the most detailed and educated on you tube as far as I’m concerned. I can see a BIG time bromance developing here 🤣 can’t wait for the colab 👊🏻
Ren was so emotional watching the reactions, genuinely appreciative of you all.These reactions can only be a positive in his recovery and coping with his treatment.
Love your reactions. ❤
Artists supporting artists is one of the coolest things to see. I'm hoping in the not too distant future when I start to trickle my work out, to also be a branch of that same tree. Much respect to you Knox and also of course Ren. Both of you are incredibly down to earth, very real people. Thank you for all your hard work, it is absolutely appreciated. Now, back to my lyrics sheet :p
I went looking for reactions to Hi Ren after the first time I saw it because I wanted to see the impact it had on people just like it had on me. I think it was yours that I found first and I watched several others afterwards. But I couldn’t help thinking “I hope Ren sees Knox Hills reaction!” Because I figured it was such a great breakdown, lyrically, musically etc. So to see that Ren has seen your reactions and now reacted to one is just too cool. As artists we leave interpretation up to the audience but it must be the most rewarding feeling to see someone totally get it, even the little nuances. Stoked for Ren to have experienced that and for Knox to be so highly validated. I can’t say enough good things about this, Ren, Knox, the whole deal. More power to you both! One love.
I didn''t watch reaction videos until Ren's stuff started doing the rounds. I've also now watched every reaction you've done to his music because you actually get a lot of the things I feel people miss. Ren is really deep. Anyone can rhyme, anyone can stitch a bunch of words together, but when it gets to multiple meanings, connected bars etc, Ren does it along with some really creative music. You pick up on it and and that makes your channel worth watching.
Just like Ren, it's good to see you getting the recognition you deserve.
Gratz man, having someone like that give you that kind of praise is really an honor.
Congratulations on this epic experience of having Ren acknowledge your insight and breakdown of his new release. That was so amazing. I really enjoyed your sincere appreciation of this surreal moment. Just from this short video, I got so much insight as to the complexity and in-depth meaning of what Rap really is. This is a real eye-opener for those of us who always thought of rap as just words that rhyme put to a beat. Great Respect for your musical dedication to this art form. Peach out. ...
Hahaha I love watching artists fanboying on each other. I'm learning so much about how rap works from you.
Ren is an amazing dude!
I was on that twitch chat with Ren and the other RENegades, it was Ren's birthday, some of his mates flown to Canada to spend his birthday with him. Ren is such a lovely down to earth bloke, he got all emotional about the reactions to his new drop.
Signed up to twitch just to do this live chat with Ren and other fans. So much love for him, and for you Knox. Love your tunes too.
This is respect between two fabulous artists thank you for existing
Haha so good! Knox you really do pick up on so many things others don't! You really help us understand Ren's masterpieces...
My two favorite boys ❤🔥❤🔥
Later today
Ren is going to
watch Knox
watch Ren
watch Knox
watch Ren
How long can you two keep this going?????
A real-time react-off.
Great to see you react to Ren and his shout out to you.
I was on the Twitch stream for this , it was such fun. I hope you got to see how many people were asking for your reaction. (And Musiclee too) Now we just need to get Ren to react to you reacting , to his reaction of you reacting to his video. 🤪
Loved how happy that made you and how happy it made him too. Hope you saw the happy tears part too 🥰
🐇🕳️🖤
So I’m not going to talk about the music , just want to say how much respect I have for these two guys. Seem really down to earth and genuine. Loved watching this.
Such a humble guy... this whole interaction was wholesome to see.
🤍
I love that Ren gave you a shout-out. I'm a 60 + woman, and I like to keep up with new music. I saw Hi Ren and thought it was tremendous. I wanted to see what others thought, so I looked at some reactors. You were catching all of Ren's amazing lines, and you were analyzing them so well. I've subscribed now and am enjoying your reactions.
Nice to see two good guys appreciate and lift each other. Props to both you and Ren.
Bro for real tho, NO ONE has been so On Point with Everything Ren does that makes his music magical!!! I'm all here for it!!! Let's get you to 1 mil subs!!!!!
I loved this, this was really cool🙌😊 Well deserved shout out to you! I was on Twitch at the time watching this all unfold live! So lovely to see Ren enjoying himself on his birthday and him humbly expressing his appreciation to all his fans and reactors on YT x
53 year old here, had no interest in rap or hip hop and I’m so blown away by Ren that I’ve gone down this 4 day (so far) rabbit hole that led me here… and I’m so happy for you 🥲. Congratulations. I can only imagine what this must have meant to you.
I have watched some of your other videos and between the two of you I might be changing my mind about the genre. Although I kind of think Ren is a genre unto himself.
You deserve all the recognition you get. I’m so happy for you getting to see authentic feedback from Ren. Keep it up!
Watched the whole shebang, the original track, your reaction, his stream, and this! Loved every bit of it. Knox Hawkeye Hill, you catch everything and it's satisfying for me personally that you catch what I do coz then I don't feel so insane taking symbolism too far. With Ren I have free range coz he's so well-read I have no doubt he created so many levels to read into his art. Mad respect for both of you!
This reactception is so fun!
You're right, it's like there's a special chemistry between you! Personally, I like you both very much. Well deserved compliments from Ren to you. Take them to your heart. Thank you for your reactions
Good for you, I've seen hundreds of reactors and you're the most skilled at analyzing bars and all different kinds of music that I've ever seen. You've taught me so much. Congratulations for being recognized 👏 🎉😎👍❤.
This is so cool Knox. What amazing validation. Ren is an absolute god too. You are incredible at breaking things down and the songs you choose to review are 100% to my taste so props to however you choose them. Thanks for helping me find a lot of great artists!
Brilliant! Well done Knox, you deserve this appreciation & credit for your musical breakdowns 👌
Hey Knox, I'm a metalhead who found you through your metal reactions. But I've always found your reactions to be super smart and aware. That Ren saw you and reacted is everything you deserve. Big love from Scotland.
That is awesome. Thank you for sharing that special moment with all of us. I always enjoy your reactions , especially of Ren and NF music. You are now Ren certified. :)
You can see how much this means to you Knox. Love what you do and love that you love Ren x
You are for sure the best at breaking down songs and helping tlts like me understand things.
This so cool!
I think independent artists do need reaction videos.
Especially when they have 919K subs.
Believe me you hove more power than you give yourself credit.
I got a heart from Ren from one of my comments and I feel special.
Reactors is how i discovered Ren.
I look forward to your interview with him.
This is so wholesome. Love it. Reciprocal love and support from two amazing artists.
It Says a lot about you as an artist that someone as profoundly talented as Ren has recognized that in you as well. I literally JUST found your channel going down the Ren Rabbit Hole. I haven't heard a note of your music YET but already subscribed to your channel cuz anyone he goes out of his way to give props to must be worth their weight in Salt. I rarely share music unless it really resonates with me. but I have not been shy about sharing Ren's tracks all over Odysee. Shadilay has a 24/7 Livestream over in, what is lovingly referred to as "The Pond" and he hosts an after party after the Salty Cracker--tonight actually. My intuition tells me Ima be sharing some Knox Hill all around The Pond as well. I'd love to get an interview with you and Ren over there some time, cuz those Salty Savages love to promote and share based music that has a message. For now though, my request would be that you & Ren Livestream the both of you reacting to meeting one another (if you haven't already by the time I catch up in a verse later) and then both of you then reacting to the reaction video of Bo Burnham's Reaction to His Own Video. THAT would be epic. Like the Icing on the Cake of a Perfect Day! Blessed Be Brother! ~Frogsprings
You are an amazing reactor and I am always super impressed by your fast mind and intelligence... so great to see you getting the acknowledgement you deserve... and ren is impressive in his own right and a good and kind hearted soul
Just found this one. SUPER rad on many levels!
The depth of Ren's impact has so many levels I've lost count. Showing how much positivity and love comes out when we all appreciate and support each other.
Nothing better than artists that are also true fans and can 'geek out' right there beside us all
