Finally got this cleared!! What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also WHITE HATS ARE BACK!! Grab yours now 🤟www.knoxhillmusic.com/shop/chaos-kh-flex-fit-hat
LL COOL J is still dropping bars in 2024. You just can't imagine how huge this man was in 1988. J, Rakim, KRS, and Slick Rick were and still are the archetype for the solo rapper.
@stiigbe Dude was in the crowd studying the greats and, at a very young age, picked up a pen and created lyrical masterpieces out the gate. He is legit the G.O.A.T. Dude was hated on by so many by the time B.A.D dropped.
At this point. Nobody bodied anybody. This is a masterpiece. And it’s clear they both wanted to create a masterpiece with each other out of respect and for the other and for the scene.
What even more impressive is for me is that LL came out at a time period when it was really abc simple lyrics. Fucking 1987, 12 years before eminem . Rakim is probably the only one from that time period who is still spitting spitting,
Hahahaha seriously, like me being a few years younger going "how did you two keep that, cuz yeah sure when I was younger I could, but old age starts kicking in". 😅
@@Kneelin83he didn't get the yellow meringue is icing on the cake. ice as in diamonds. yellow diamonds. He didn't say that one but he prob thought it .
Maybe a BDK and BTK (Killer) double at the end with the "Women treat me like BDK," which also sounded like BTK. BTK killed mostly women during his serial killing days. And, Em is either a serial killer or a lady killer, depending on which woman you ask.
Eminem making a song with LL, would be like any of us making a song with Eminem. EM, looked up to LL and idolized him when he was younger. I’m sure EM, pinches himself sometimes regardless of how big he is.
Dude this was a nuclear bomb to all the haters & new generation rappers just because of the flows they going krazy with, shaq even said senior citizens making music better than yall
And that's why Knox is here breaking down bars like it's a religion lol and us listening in amazement doesn't get better than this honestly truly a happy place kinda channel for us rap fans
LL Was just in the breakfast club talkin about the song. Said they both flew out to LA and recorded at Dre's. LL wrote his verse separate than Em they would go back and forth, untill the the last course he said they were there going back and forth right there.. man to be a fly in the wall in that session lol
LL's bar about giving stitches and chest zipper's is referring to after they crack your chest open during an autopsy they stitch it up and it tends to look like a zipper down your chest if nobody mentioned it yet
Yeah, but the Ripper stuff is also on point. As someone who is also obsessed with that particular serial killer and H. H. Holmes (I swear I am normal).
LL Cool J was one of my favorites, when I was a child. And I didn’t even understand the English language. But then I moved on to different genres, and when I came back to rap I kinda forgot about him a little. And now I really regret it, not listening to him more. Now that I understand the language I really hear his influence on Eminem. And wow that song. 🤯 I thought Fuel was my favorite, but this is even better. 🔥🤩❤️ I love everything about this. Both rappers absolutely killed it. And the production on that song and the samples made me sooo happy somehow… Unbelievable! 🤯🥰 Great analysis as always ❤🔥😊
You should go back and listen to a track like Zoom, made by LL and Dr Dre. LL was an absolute superstar, his presence and charisma is off the charts, but people forgot he is a lyrical pioneer because he started doing more soft music for the ladies.
I’m just gonna say that Royce has an upper hand. He and Eminem are are always rapping together and Busta Rhyme did not stay up with Eminem he just had that voice that makes you sit up listen, I thought for a couple years that they were even. But a couple of years ago I heard it again and I know that Eminem went crazy with it. But you can tell just by listening that he’s got a lot of respect for Busta and that is important to him. ❤
LL is going to forever be one of the most iconic MCs. I listened back to his joint with Dre - Zoom. Shit is still hitting hard till this day, Mr Smith is just charisma personified.
This song is a hip hop nerd's dream and that's why I've been anticipating this reaction since it came out, it's so cool seeing you appreciate all the details in this‼️
I was waiting for this reaction! As if listening to the track itself doesn't blow your mind enough, Knox comes through with a mind bender of a breakdown. No words.
Every body else trying ta rap and get a bag just go home instead cuz both em and ll cool are rapping here it's just not even fair lol (btw every other rapper please stay I was just kidding an memeing hope y'all actually make it out there)
Always a treat to watch your breakdowns, Knox. I'm Gen-X and grew up listening to LL. Listening to this gave me goosebumps and listening to your breakdowns made me smile. Much love, man. When Eminem said "I have the potential to fuckin' flip, when I mention I have a pinching tool", I also heard, "I have the potential to fuckin' flip, when I mention I have a penchant to".
You do realize he was in an interview and said he was a big fan of LL like he Stan’s LL so for once LL and Em were both even but it’s not about Eminem bodying people in features they were just havin fun on this one LL said it
LL went the JID on fuel route he went for mostly technical attack not enough literary devices and not as technical as eminem either . with that being said the song is so good it would still be going on the playlist without eminem but eminem writes too crazy rhymes too crazy and flows too crazy his voice punches the beat you cannot compare his verse to LL's thats blatantly disrespectful to the art and im just being honest shout out the one and only james
No old school MC could do what that GOAT did! Was Em a few steps up? Yeah. But nobody from that time could step into this new game and hold his own. Shit, there's some new MC's that didn't ride like this! L.L.'s longevity and adaptability is Aerosmith like. Although DMC saved their asses! L just broke the walls down on his own terms!
“Finish you like polyurethane” he’s talking about the final clear coat applied while working with wood too. Nice work as always, Knox, keep killing ‘em!
"Finish you like polyurathane" - polyurathane is a finish like a lacquer. I guess he could be talking about inhaling it too.. but that's where I think he was going with that one.
Polyurethane is also highly flammable. Used on wood. Then, follow it with the fire log flame bars. Dude is ridiculous with bars. Him and LL came with it!
These two legends absolutely murdered this track, they weren't lying! 🔥 I loved the way LL rapped on this one A LOT 🙌 I like how they matched each other's energy for a great collab. 💯 It's about damn time bc I'm Gen X too so I've been waiting a VERY long time for this to happen...Phenomenal 🐐🐐 GREAT breakdown Knox 🫡
From South Africa to Knox, best breakdowns and your explanations of local bars help cos it goes over our heads sometimes. You are the best My Guy. keep at it.
Year was 1990. The first lines of the song song started with these lines "Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years; I'm rockin' my peers, puttin' suckers in fear" This is the song that made me fall in love with hip hop.
Yup you’re both right!! Mama said knock you out came out my senior year of high school!! Still a great song to this day!! Big LL fan!! Of course Em’s my favorite rapper ever, but I had tickets two times to see LL and another time he was doing a talk at Hampton University in Virginia and all three times I missed him! One of the times wasn’t my fault he was playing at a club in downtown Manhattan and they cut off the line because the club was full so I couldn’t get in I was so pissed! The other two times I was really sick and had to give my tickets to someone else. I hope to see both of them before I leave this earth! Huge fan of both of them.!!!!
Yeah, it's because of the era where LL was making mostly music for the ladies, so people seem to remember him more for that than for being a pioneer in lyrical rap.
This could be a massive leap, but the avocado/affogato line: the literal translation for affigato is "drowned" and the mafia have a reputation for putting concrete shoes on rivals/enemies and drowning them - linking back to the Hoffa/Lake Minnetonka. Affogato is also what you have to end or finish off a meal (dessert & coffee in one) so this could be a reference to Em & LL disposing/finishing off their competition?
holy... i didnt even realise. that whole history scheme has so many layers, grapes, roman emperors, B.C, A.D, Big daddy Kane, came saw and conquared. it goes on and on
"slugs will make you forget all that slick shit you thought of" plays into that next "blow your mind with the sawed-off" line. super clean flow. great video
“Quick to go out wit a Bang” reminds me of that Em bar “When I go out I’m a go out shootin’. I don’t mean when I die, I mean when I go out to the club stupid”😂
Same!! I thought it was an old school song id missed from the early 2000's and was bobbin my head and saw it was 4 days old 😂 This track slaps and em is insane. Didn't know LL had it like this either.
I love everything about this. To be on a track with his idol must have been incredible for Em. LL rapped like his life depended on it and Em just effortlessly swagg on the beat. Great job you two 🐐🐐
I wish we could see how they wrote this. With so much overlap and back&forth, I'm imagining the 2 just spending a day in the studio and writing together. (Vs "feature requests" when artists send a fairly complete song and ask for a verse) Those studio sessions must've been so incredible!
This song might be my fave hip-hop song of the year even though Em's album was sick too and we can never forget Ren...but this song is just so fire, even now after months I still listen to it and love it.
I love the chest zippers line….after you get murdered, they do an autopsy, and the y incision literally looks like a zipper in your chest when they sew it up! LL has studied his own student’s! The multi syllabic schemes, and doubles are fire! Em is em! This is the origin of goat….rapping with the actual lyrical goat! I love it!
By far Knox you are easily one of the best at reactions and actually breaking down bars and I ❤ you first let the verse play then go back and breakdown the bars. By far my fave reactor! 🫡❤️🇦🇺
Knox is the best reactor and it’s not even close. I’ve watched many reactions to this song and Knox Is the only one actually giving deep breakdowns to every bar. Love it!
Look I'm an old fart and don't know how I got this vid recommended but I'm really glad it did. I listened to LL back in highschool and heard Eminem playing from my kids room. Honestly I didn't know that LL was still around after all these years. To hear them both not only alive and kicking but they sound better than I can remember. Thank you for the video and the break down so I can understand what the heck they are saying meant so much more. Keep going LL and Em, love it.
Love the vid! Was waiting for this. One thing with Em’s first verse is Polyurethane is what you use on wood for a “finish” that’s a def double meaning there.
Ganggggg at 9:34 you literally said you were looking for a Big Daddy Kane bar. I replayed it as well cause I never thought about there being a fourth layer. Bro… Big Daddy Kane has a song called Rap Summary (Lean on Me). 🤯
I personally never minded Eminem's late 2010s, 2020s delivery, but I prefer when he uses a higher pitch than his regular speaking voice. Nice video, Knox! "Crack a bottle" is an Em, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent track from Encore, too
Just want to point out that BDK (Big Daddy Kane) part is also part of his sociopath scheme as it also sounds like BTK - (Bondage, Torture, Kill) serial killer.
I loved this reaction, two greats collabing in the best way, was so cool hearing Em able to pay homage to LL, and for LL to give kudos back. Seriously, LL's flow was genius! And Em bars n flow was nek level 😂 appreciate you KH for the breakdown, I missed so much til you highlighted it
Fantastic collaboration. This must be a bucket list for the both of them. This shows our elders still got it. Gen x are loving this. Yep wicked & bad from your Welsh lady.🇬🇧😂
There've only been 2 survivors of an Eminem feature: Busta on Calm Down (and he had to rewrite his verse) and LL on this heat. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Edit: Also, @Knoxhill I just discovered your channel dude, love how straight to the point your breakdowns are.
Heard the song last night. Paused before knox heard Em's last verse and laughed because its half of this reaction. This song is insane and I'm here for it

LL COOL J is still dropping bars in 2024. You just can't imagine how huge this man was in 1988. J, Rakim, KRS, and Slick Rick were and still are the archetype for the solo rapper.
Not only that he sounds BETTER now then he did back then. LL going intergalactic with this hehe
LL is criminally underrated
So cool. They were prolly like "let's just show 'em".
@stiigbe Dude was in the crowd studying the greats and, at a very young age, picked up a pen and created lyrical masterpieces out the gate. He is legit the G.O.A.T. Dude was hated on by so many by the time B.A.D dropped.

At this point. Nobody bodied anybody. This is a masterpiece. And it’s clear they both wanted to create a masterpiece with each other out of respect and for the other and for the scene.
I DISAGREE! LL and Em murdergrammed EVERYONE out there today. Except for a small handful, maybe 2 handfuls!!!
What even more impressive is for me is that LL came out at a time period when it was really abc simple lyrics.
Fucking 1987, 12 years before eminem .
Rakim is probably the only one from that time period who is still spitting spitting,
@@flapdrol75yea Kool g rap too
@@flapdrol75he always had skills. This just shows he has been putting in work.
AGREED
LL and Em need to create an entire album together. This collab is straight fire, a dream come true.
“Cool Meets Evil”
I would love that.
YES!!!
Overthinking the title "murdergram pact" it would be far more than Pt. 3, and no lies would be detected.
Not only is this a dream come true for em doing a song with his idol it’s also a dream for us to have two of the greats doing a fire song together
Lungs are not allowed in this song 😁🔥

Yea I caught that too 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So this is the dude EMINEM deeply admires and idolize. Damn LL you had no business going in like that 💥GOATS
This is what rap is supposed to be
Knox's breakdowns are GOATED! he misses nothing. This link up was a movie, 2 legends !!!
I mean he misses some stuff, but he does a better job than most.
Even Shaq said that KH is the best @ breaking lyrics down
in the rippit line he missed the other meaning. a rippit the co2 can the drug thing giving you a sample of a rippit
Maybe a BDK and BTK (Killer) double at the end with the "Women treat me like BDK," which also sounded like BTK. BTK killed mostly women during his serial killing days. And, Em is either a serial killer or a lady killer, depending on which woman you ask.
Bout to finish you like polyurethane…
Clear finish for furniture and stuff. The only one I caught so far.
Eminem be washing some of the best artists in their prime and then LL Comes out here and holds his own in 2024 against Em. Dude is a legend
LL has always held his own from the start especially with the girls
The Original GOAT.

@darrellmlg1363 RE MIX- EMINEM & LL COOL J
This is what hip hop and rap is supposed to be
LL's bar about giving stitches and chest zipper's is referring to after they crack your chest open during an autopsy they stitch it up and it tends to look like a zipper down your chest if nobody mentioned it yet
Yes it’s called a Y- incision but you’re definitely on to something with that!!
Yeah, but the Ripper stuff is also on point. As someone who is also obsessed with that particular serial killer and H. H. Holmes (I swear I am normal).
I figured the chest zipper was referring to zipping up a body bag on someone.

I hear you but if you look up Bad meets Evil you'll see that Royce also has that ability
Royce, Black Thought, Busta Rhymes
I’m just gonna say that Royce has an upper hand.

“Finish you like polyurethane” he’s talking about the final clear coat applied while working with wood too. Nice work as always, Knox, keep killing ‘em!
"Finish you like polyurathane" - polyurathane is a finish like a lacquer. I guess he could be talking about inhaling it too.. but that's where I think he was going with that one.
Exactly what i thought too
My thoughts exactly.
I was gonna say the same. Knox is usually on point with the bars, but he missed that one by a mile lol
Polyurethane is also highly flammable. Used on wood. Then, follow it with the fire log flame bars. Dude is ridiculous with bars. Him and LL came with it!
And polyurethane was invented in Finland... JK but that would be awesome 😂😂

One of the times wasn’t my fault he was playing at a club in downtown Manhattan and they cut off the line because the club was full so I couldn’t get in I was so pissed! The other two times I was really sick and had to give my tickets to someone else. I hope to see both of them before I leave this earth! Huge fan of both of them.!!!!
The amount of bars eminem puts in a song, eminem should be a subject in college.
I refuse to believe this song isn't even 4 minutes. There was too much and too many switches!!
I’m actually surprised he isn’t. That’s some serious injustice! Meanwhile, I’m sure there’s Taylor Swift classes, lauding her ridiculous lyrics.
Big facts bro 💯 👊😎
Some professors have used eminem bars in British universities in the past especially when studying poetry
As a lit teacher, I used to introduce poetry with Eminem and Tupac (censored for the young teens who definitely "never" swear...)
I remember when I was a kid I snuck my mom's LL Cool J CDs and rocked them in my CD player on the bus. People kinda forgot how good of an MC he is

This could be a massive leap, but the avocado/affogato line: the literal translation for affigato is "drowned" and the mafia have a reputation for putting concrete shoes on rivals/enemies and drowning them - linking back to the Hoffa/Lake Minnetonka. Affogato is also what you have to end or finish off a meal (dessert & coffee in one) so this could be a reference to Em & LL disposing/finishing off their competition?
Might be onto something
Great thinking!! I’m Italian and yes you’re right about that Maria reference!! Nice catch!!

Actually is ll cool j song on his new album is featuring Eminem 😅😅😅
@@RobertQuant 😂😂😂 I realised after I wrote it. Too excited
“Quick to go out wit a Bang” reminds me of that Em bar “When I go out I’m a go out shootin’. I don’t mean when I die, I mean when I go out to the club stupid”😂
Remember Me ?
@@pjaydrillsa yeah 😂
This song is a call back to the first Mudergram on LL's "Mama Said Knock You Out" album.
Damn ! We need a entire album of those two together !
I second and third that point
I’ll 4th and 5th that
You are playing with unnatural forces the universe cannot handle it, stop your shit you might as well call out Beetlejuice🤫
🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯
I sixth and seventh it
Man these 2 hiphop legends killed it! Ems just out of this world talented 🐐 & LL still has that old school sound I miss🐐 Love them both sm❤
LL woke up and thought "y'all must've forgot" when he stepped into the studio for this one. 😂
This song sent me back to the 90's it's so freaking awesome to hear this style of rapping nowadays, and LL Cool J still got it!
7:37 My mom is wondering why I'm concentrating so damn much watching a man explain this to me
LL killed this. 🔥🔥🔥
Sawed off aka boom stick..
I was convinced this was one of the old school tracks that i missed when it appeared in my spotify
Same!! I thought it was an old school song id missed from the early 2000's and was bobbin my head and saw it was 4 days old 😂 This track slaps and em is insane. Didn't know LL had it like this either.
I love everything about this. To be on a track with his idol must have been incredible for Em. LL rapped like his life depended on it and Em just effortlessly swagg on the beat. Great job you two 🐐🐐
I can only imagine how giddy Em was being able to do this with LL 😂
I wish we could see how they wrote this. With so much overlap and back&forth, I'm imagining the 2 just spending a day in the studio and writing together. (Vs "feature requests" when artists send a fairly complete song and ask for a verse) Those studio sessions must've been so incredible!
@@colette2034LL did an interview about it
When this song dropped last night.. I listen to it 10 times in a row. This is the song I didn't know I needed in my life!💙 Instant Banger🎉
Well said !! Insane banger. I've listened 50 times already
Me too its lit they out did themselves and its shwed real rap and hop hop@joecorbett3013
Hearing LL cool J spitting like back in the day then add the lyrical genius on it and it's double 🔥 awesome breakdown as always Knox 🤜🏻
@darrellmlg1363 RE MIX- EMINEM & LL COOL J
10:12 the flow switch is WOW 😮
@darrellmlg1363 RE MIX- EMINEM & LL COOL J
This song might be my fave hip-hop song of the year even though Em's album was sick too and we can never forget Ren...but this song is just so fire, even now after months I still listen to it and love it.
I love the chest zippers line….after you get murdered, they do an autopsy, and the y incision literally looks like a zipper in your chest when they sew it up! LL has studied his own student’s! The multi syllabic schemes, and doubles are fire! Em is em! This is the origin of goat….rapping with the actual lyrical goat! I love it!
By far Knox you are easily one of the best at reactions and actually breaking down bars and I ❤ you first let the verse play then go back and breakdown the bars. By far my fave reactor! 🫡❤️🇦🇺
Knox is the best reactor and it’s not even close. I’ve watched many reactions to this song and Knox
Is the only one actually giving deep breakdowns to every bar. Love it!
19:50 The "pinchin' tool" works into another double (triple?) as "penchant to come back with a vengeance".
LL just destroyed any excuse Mel had for dropping that trash ahh diss track 😂😂😂
LL goated♥️🐐
Facts, on facts on facts bro.
Nothing but Facts!!!
Ong bro
Look I'm an old fart and don't know how I got this vid recommended but I'm really glad it did. I listened to LL back in highschool and heard Eminem playing from my kids room. Honestly I didn't know that LL was still around after all these years. To hear them both not only alive and kicking but they sound better than I can remember. Thank you for the video and the break down so I can understand what the heck they are saying meant so much more. Keep going LL and Em, love
it.
Love the vid! Was waiting for this. One thing with Em’s first verse is Polyurethane is what you use on wood for a “finish” that’s a def double meaning there.
So nice to here LL back!!!!!! Great COLLABORATION! Em has such respect for him it was insane to here the back and forth.
Ganggggg at 9:34 you literally said you were looking for a Big Daddy Kane bar. I replayed it as well cause I never thought about there being a fourth layer. Bro… Big Daddy Kane has a song called Rap Summary (Lean on Me). 🤯
It makes it even more obvious when you realize the image on his shirt is a BDK album cover
I personally never minded Eminem's late 2010s, 2020s delivery, but I prefer when he uses a higher pitch than his regular speaking voice. Nice video, Knox!
"Crack a bottle" is an Em, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent track from Encore, too
'Crack a Bottle' is from Relapse! (2009)
@@Hayden1969-ws4vy Good looking out. Thanks!
LL is 56 YRS OLD.Yall Mummble rappers could NEVER ‼️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥 LETS GO LL AND EM
Yeah becuase they can’t stop overdosing before 30
@@SSKPG That's very sad
😂😂Some people's favorite rappers COULD NEVER🎉🎉🎉
First off this song is fire! Second, your breakdown is next level. Do you miss anything ever? Damn. Knox you are awesome.❤
I love how LL says "hittin a donut (a car maneuver)" and then says something about "ain't nothin sweet about"...omg that was so clever!!!
Yup doin a 360 in your car!! Great catch!!
Can't wait to see the music video
Just want to point out that BDK (Big Daddy Kane) part is also part of his sociopath scheme as it also sounds like BTK - (Bondage, Torture, Kill) serial killer.
Great catch!!
I hear you on the BTK, but Em literally says they feed me grapes... Like KH said, "That's Off Kane's Long Live The Kane Album Cover."
I loved this reaction, two greats collabing in the best way, was so cool hearing Em able to pay homage to LL, and for LL to give kudos back. Seriously, LL's flow was genius! And Em bars n flow was nek level 😂 appreciate you KH for the breakdown, I missed so much til you highlighted it
Fantastic collaboration. This must be a bucket list for the both of them. This shows our elders still got it. Gen x are loving this. Yep wicked & bad from your Welsh lady.🇬🇧😂
Professor in the house. You are one of the reasons I have no worries about the younger generation. Love it.
“Giving you a snippet like Sza’s do” Sza did a snippet cover of Eminem’s lose yourself on Instagram
Underrated comment. Great catch!
There've only been 2 survivors of an Eminem feature: Busta on Calm Down (and he had to rewrite his verse) and LL on this heat. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Edit: Also, @Knoxhill I just discovered your channel dude, love how straight to the point your breakdowns are.
Baarrrzzzzz🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥they snaaapped‼️💯💯💯✌🏾❣️
Heard the song last night. Paused before knox heard Em's last verse and laughed because its half of this reaction. This song is insane and I'm here for it
Your breakdowns are just shockingly better than almost anyone else's man. Props for taking this shit seriously.
@knoxhill can you do "Don't front" by Eminem ft Buckshot. This is a hidden gem that requires a breakdown
Facts
Isnt "Dont front" just a cover of a Buckshot song?
LL Cool J is still going off in 2024 👏👏 people don’t know how crazy he was back in his day and he’s still killing it, as this song proves.
It's understandable halfway thru this when Knox says "FML man".. these bars are molten lava bro
I've been an LL fan since Day One, and he just proves his G.O.A.T.NESS nearly 40 years later!!! The nostalgia from him is great!! Em great as always.
Knox always comes out with his inner shady on slim shady tracks
That head bopping is exactly what I was doing when this song just randomly came up on Spotify. Love this song
Y’all still use cheap ass Spotify 😅😅😅😅 streaming is garbage I was listening to the album on cd 💿 better sound quality 🤙🤙🤙💿💿💿📀📀📀
This may be my favorite Em feature. Soooo Good
