Same goes for me, I'm pretty good at english but my ability to understand the metaphors is less developed, I love how analytic he gets, it really helps me appreciate them much more! 😊
bro, same(i’m ukrainian, but i study in netherlands). Even after using english in every day life for past 3 years, i feel like im still way to far from comprehending his lyrics
Madvillainy is one of the greatest things my ears have ever heard, MF DOOM and Madlib did something truly incredible. (Also 12:01 please do an Aesop Rock breakdown in the future). P.s. For other DOOM songs maybe you could do All Caps, Rapp Snitch Knishes, Doomsday, or Acordeon.
KNOX MAN!!!! YOU CANT BELIEVE HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE THIS RECOMMENDED TO ME. I've been prayyyying that you cover some DOOM for forever. so glad you're diving into his stuff!
Man i remember stumbling on MF DOOM for the first time as King Geedorah. It was one of the Underground Hip-hop for Dummies mixes some guy put together on their blog, and I heard Fazers and immediately had to go listen to all of Take Me To Your Leader. Like one of the other posters here, DOOM and Aesop Rock are some of my all time favorites along with Del The Funky Homosapien. Rest in Peace DOOM.
Literally requested this to happen a few videos ago and it actually happened! MF DOOM is so amazing with the pen. Keep doing more songs of his. He’s an amazing MC !
Thanks for promoting great oldschool artists. Try KRS-One’s newest album’s first track “The Beginning” please. No ones influenced more GOATs than Tha Teacha.
This performer is legendary, no matter what persona he is using, his everything is fire. please break down more of his work. I recomend Viktor Vaughn-Spittle or DangerDoom-Vats of Urine
Check out his music bro, it honestly ruined my excitement for a lot of hip hop records I used to place at a very high standard. And the more I listened to DOOM, he completely changed how I view rap.
I had another interpretation of the lines _Everything that glitters ain't fish scale/Lemme think don't let her faint get Ishmael_ I took it as a Moby Dick reference. _Everything that glitters ain't fish scale_ meaning pure cocaine and Moby Dick was a huge white whale/brick of cocaine. Also whales are mammals so they do not have scales which is the literal translation. Or it could mean everything that glitters isn't pure. Moby Dick was one of the first pieces of media to portray the color white as evil (the good guys always wore white hats etc.) _Lemme think, don't let her faint, get Ishmael"_ After Ahab finally killed Moby Dick, Ishmael was the only one of the crew to survive.
Bro, I appreciate your reactions. Yours are the most analytic and entertaining. Actually breaking down the bars. I hope Stevie Knight watched this to get tips. His DOOM reaction was a mess!!
Everytime Doom comes in my playlist I have the urge to kiss my Doom ring, this man said and did so much for hip hop and for me while being in his metaphorical pijamas of life, on his own space.. it's insane how you can be talented to the point that your spoken word talks into you instead of talking to you. RIP Doom, I'll always remember how I found you at 12 by accident, props Knox for showing people talent is not about numbers nor fame, you a real one.
I love your channel and the level of musical analysis and without prejudices that you do, I would love it if you could react to the MMA 2019 BTS, it is impressive, goodbye from Chile
DOOM uses so many double-meanings its insane, for example, something you didnt touch on with the "start shit-stoppa/ be a smart shoppa" line is that its probably meant as a double meaning. Saying to the rappers that like to start shit, to be a "smart shopper"(IE: look somewher else to start shit) because he's a "start shit-stopper". Also, another point to the Anita Baker line, DOOM has sampled Anita Baker, specifically on the track HOE CAKES, which just adds another little spinkle of seasoning to "Patty Cake/Anita Baker" thing.
Knox! Just found your channel from a video 11 months ago and checked out your music, I'm not an artist but as a listener i loved your song survivor and i think the other songs i listened to are a bit too aggresive and raspy (your voice). Was just from a listeners pov I think you should try a song similar to survivor again and I have no doubt it'd be sick!
Love it. You should do some more amazing underrated artists. Pharoah Monche(or Organized Konfusion altogether), Talib Kweli, Crooked I and Blackalicious would all be dope. All lyrical monsters that don’t get enough love
What I LIKE about DOOM is his flow is so erratic , yet beautiful. It’s puts you off at 1st. Then becomes addicting!! The way he rides a beat and all his hidden messages and call backs to growing up as a kid in the 80s and 90s. To the point where modern flows are Boring to me and this is the difficult, expert-level stuff.
one of my all time FAV MF Doom there are not a lot of reations to his Music as a Fan to be honest i am Glad there is not i love him soo much that i dont want other ppl to find him and his music i know that is selfish but thats how rare he is, i hope you do him justice Knox Hill in upcoming reactions too he deserve it.
Knox! Great Breakdowns, Music, and Vibe. I enjoy your stuff. I think you should really treat yourself to some fun music. Artist: MC Chris Album: MC Chris is dead Song: Neville, Emo Party, Smackababy - Album: MC Chris gores to hell Song: Reese, Pizza Butt, Hoodie Ninja Artist: Flight of the Conchords Song: hiphopopotamus vs. rhymenoceros HBO Special (live) Keep up the good stuff..
The rest is empty with no brain but the clever nerd The best emcee with no chain ya ever heard Take it from the Tec-9 holder Dead bent, but don't know their neck shine from Shinola Everything that glitters ain't fish scale Let me think, don't let her faint get Ishmael A shot of Jack got her back, it's not an act stack Forgot about the cackalack, holla back, clack- clack-blocka Villainy, feel him in ya heart chakra chart toppa Start shit stoppa be a smart shoppa Shot a cop day around the way 'bout to stay But who'd a know there's two mo' that wonder where the shooter go 'Bout to jet, get him, not a bet, dead 'em Let 'em spit venom said 'em got a lot of shit with 'em Let the rhythm hit 'em, it's stronger in the other voice We make the joints, that make 'em spread 'em butter moist Man, please, the stage is made of panties From the age of baby hoochies, on to the grannies Hand me the dough rake, daddy The flow make her fatty shake, patty cake, patty cake For fake, if he was, Anita Baker's man He'd take her for her masters, hit it once and shake her hand On some ol' thank ya ma'am an' ghost her She could mind the toaster if she sign the poster A whole host of roller coaster riders Not enough tracks (is it?) Hot enuff black (for ya) It's too hot to handle, you got blue sandals Who shot ya? Ooh, got you new spots to vandal? Do not stand still, boast show skills Close but no crills, toast for po' ills, post no bills Coast to coast, Joe Shmoes flows ill, go chill Not supposed to overdose, No-dose pills Off pride tikes now talk wide though scar meat Off sides like how Worf rides with Starfleet Told ya, on some get-rich shit As he get older, he gets colder than a witch tit This is it, make no mistakes Where my nigga go? Figaro, Figaro All these beats and my rhymes attack A scary act All black like, Miss Mary Mack Wait 'til you see 'em live on the piano Doom sings soprano like uno dos y'ano My momma told me Blast him and pass her her glass of Ol' E Not to be troublesome But I could sure use a quick shot of double rum No stick of bubble gum I like ice cream We could skip the wedding Have a nice dream She only let him stick the head in
Hey man I know your caught up rn with drake and Kendrick but you should checkout convexed, for a vid or just to listen. One of the all time greatest hip hop albums feels like a time capsule of the early 2000s
What’s next Thursday’s throwback? Comment below!
Anything by Common
block episode by masta ace if you want some story telling
463 by buck 65
Aesop Rock!!!!!!
Street Talkin- Slick Rick and Outkast
As someone that doesn't natively speak English and loves MF DOOM, this is a blessing man, thank you Knox
As someone who natively speaks English, I love the analysis because I also don't know wtf is going on.
Same goes for me, I'm pretty good at english but my ability to understand the metaphors is less developed, I love how analytic he gets, it really helps me appreciate them much more! 😊
bro, same(i’m ukrainian, but i study in netherlands). Even after using english in every day life for past 3 years, i feel like im still way to far from comprehending his lyrics
The man in the mask. Miss him. Doom and Aesop Rock are tops on my list of MCs. Both very unique.
Aesop Rock is the one that makes me feel the most at home. I just enjoy the imagery
@@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiethe's a MASTER lyricist - he throws some complex wordplay at you but is the most relatable dude ever.
My two favorite rappers
Bro forgot the first rule 💀
@@TheSonamuTree ALL CAPS
MF DOOM is your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper
Literally copy pasted a video title in here, cmon man you can do better :(
@influtionog9472 you do realise more than 1 person can think of the same thing, not everything you see is copy and pasted.
@@lewisharvey9109 you sound like you are reasoning with your uni professor
@@lewisharvey9109he didn't though that phrase is all over UA-cam especially MF Doom videos. rip MF Doom
@Butt--Head that phrase has been used for years talking about other people aswell , the point I was making was why care?
Madvillainy is one of the greatest things my ears have ever heard, MF DOOM and Madlib did something truly incredible. (Also 12:01 please do an Aesop Rock breakdown in the future).
P.s. For other DOOM songs maybe you could do All Caps, Rapp Snitch Knishes, Doomsday, or Acordeon.
KNOX MAN!!!! YOU CANT BELIEVE HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE THIS RECOMMENDED TO ME. I've been prayyyying that you cover some DOOM for forever. so glad you're diving into his stuff!
Annnd still so many bars gone by. Doom. Listen 500 times and still hear new things 😊
You're gonna have to do this WHOLE ALBUM!!!!
Man i remember stumbling on MF DOOM for the first time as King Geedorah. It was one of the Underground Hip-hop for Dummies mixes some guy put together on their blog, and I heard Fazers and immediately had to go listen to all of Take Me To Your Leader.

wow i needa see more MF DOOM reactions madvillainy so 🔥
“Everything that shine ain’t fish scale do t let her faint get Ishmael” it’s referencing the book Moby Dick.
One of my favorite collab is the album Danger Doom with Danger Mouse and MF Doom
Thanks for promoting great oldschool artists. Try KRS-One’s newest album’s first track “The Beginning” please. No ones influenced more GOATs than Tha Teacha.
Was waiting for you to do MF Doom! Glad we finally got there!!
I’ve been so hyped to see you break down an MF DOOM song
This performer is legendary, no matter what persona he is using, his everything is fire. please break down more of his work. I recomend Viktor Vaughn-Spittle or DangerDoom-Vats of Urine
I never knew about MF Doom until now thanks Knox💯🤘

I’m so glad you did DOOM! He’s been my favorite MC for years and not enough people are talking about him
Love the Throwback Thursdays return!! Can't wait! & This is rad! Luv ya Professor

Thanks for doing this Knox. Been waiting for this for a while.
I was today years old the first time I heard MF Doom, thank you for this reaction💚🤗🍀 cannot wait for your next drop!
I learn so much from watching your vids. Knox Hill is the Man!
Bro, one of the best and elaborate breakdowns for the song and music in general.
Great start to throwback. Stoopid❤
Knox please I need more MF DOOM breakdowns, you catch so many nuances that I feel like I need you to fully appreciate DOOM's genius
Always enjoy your pauses. Means I am about to learn something. 👊🏻👏
Listening to you break this down made me catch that background beat that was also used in that D12 song “Shit on You”, ha ha!
been asking for a doom reaction for ages. finally.
Great reaction Knox as always.But all i could think through this video was"I want that doom sweatshirt that knox is wearing"😂
I learn something Everytime I watch an episode. Thanks Knox 👍
Finally Doom
Good to see a reaction channel that's big give props to doom. Much respect for this
One of the most brilliant hip hop albums ever.
Exploring all these different rappers and yet no love for the true goat that has been grinding for decades and improve to a true master... Aesop Rock
🐐🐐🐐
L
Since we’ve finally got DOOM, hopefully we got more alternative Rapper reactions. Aesop Rock, Danny Brown, JPEGMAFIA, Little Simz, etc.
You forgot lupe
@@DorianMenard, he’s reacted to Lupe.
Brutal man! Please do more MF DOOM something like ''space hos'' or ''sofa king remix''' amazing songs.
Got a sub from me the way you break bars down reminds me of myself showing people a song 😂
Living legends, Atmosphere, Del, Blackalicious, Sage Francis, Eyedea & abilities, Zion I and so on
Well blackalicious isn't alive anymore sadly. RIP Gift of Gab
Micheal Jordan is the MF DOOM of basketball.
MF DOOM is the second best rapper in history for me. He got it all and shows. R.I.P. master
I love your channel and the level of musical analysis and without prejudices that you do, I would love it if you could react to the MMA 2019 BTS, it is impressive, goodbye from Chile
Love Doom since KMD...made me understand Hip Hop the way it should be...sad we lost both brothers!
MF DOOM is the definition that there's always someone better than you
Mf doom IS THE GOOAAATTTT. I'd love more mf doom breakdowns, his shit is so complex. Rip mf doom
PLS DO A FULL BREAKDOWN OF MADVILLAINY!!! WE NEED IT BADLY!!!!
DOOM uses so many double-meanings its insane, for example, something you didnt touch on with the "start shit-stoppa/ be a smart shoppa" line is that its probably meant as a double meaning. Saying to the rappers that like to start shit, to be a "smart shopper"(IE: look somewher else to start shit) because he's a "start shit-stopper". Also, another point to the Anita Baker line, DOOM has sampled Anita Baker, specifically on the track HOE CAKES, which just adds another little spinkle of seasoning to "Patty Cake/Anita Baker" thing.
HOLY SHIT HES SOO GOOD 😢 I MISS HIM RIP MF DOOM
Knox jumped up to a mil subs recently. I didn't even notice
MF DOOM! ❤miss this legend
Knox! Just found your channel from a video 11 months ago and checked out your music, I'm not an artist but as a listener i loved your song survivor and i think the other songs i listened to are a bit too aggresive and raspy (your voice).

Love it. You should do some more amazing underrated artists. Pharoah Monche(or Organized Konfusion altogether), Talib Kweli, Crooked I and Blackalicious would all be dope. All lyrical monsters that don’t get enough love
You realize that he has song with Crooked, right?
@@JohnDoe-t1r9pI didn’t, I’ll check it out. Thanks!
I requested All Caps, but hey it’s about god damn time you got to DOOM.
big ups bro. one of the greatest albums of all time.
Yoooo MF DOOM!! Deep fried friendz is a fav personally but ya can't go wrong with any of his stuff
What I LIKE about DOOM is his flow is so erratic , yet beautiful. It’s puts you off at 1st. Then becomes addicting!!
The way he rides a beat and all his hidden messages and call backs to growing up as a kid in the 80s and 90s. To the point where modern flows are Boring to me and this is the difficult, expert-level stuff.

You gotta be a master to breakdown Doom! Shout out to Knox a true black belt
Not a rapper dead or alive can touch the pengame of MF DOOM
rework the title please, don't forget ALL CAPS when you spell the man name
❤
The correction is necessary
He did it!
Pls do *Operation Doomsday*
More from the Supervillain
This was a awesome reaction! I would love to see you react to more Yungblud songs like Lowlife and Hated!
The day we’ve all been waiting for!!!
One of the greatest mc ever
You need to react to Aesop Rock. Though I think it will be a 2 hour breakdown.
Anything off of Bazooka Tooth or earlier will guarantee that 😂
doom honestly the best lyricist would LOVE to hear your reaction to meat grinder or saliva
Arguably the greatest hip hop album of all time. Masterpiece type ish
Can’t stand still also refers to hot sand.
You can check out aespa's 'Drama' MV
MF doom is one of the greatest
Checkout Czarface if you haven't. I believe it is Doom and Inspectah Deck...
Pleeease more mf doom, dude was a genius in rap
Not sure who doesn't now MF Doom and Aesop but i run in small circles
Need more MF DOOM
“My momma told me, blasphemy, pass her a glass of OE”
Rest in peace one of the best rapper ever.
Love this. For the culture
The rest is empty with no brain but the clever nerd
The best emcee with no chain ya ever heard
Take it from the Tec-9 holder
Dead bent, but don't know their neck shine from Shinola
Everything that glitters ain't fish scale
Let me think, don't let her faint get Ishmael
A shot of Jack got her back, it's not an act stack
Forgot about the cackalack, holla back, clack- clack-blocka
Villainy, feel him in ya heart chakra chart toppa
Start shit stoppa be a smart shoppa
Shot a cop day around the way 'bout to stay
But who'd a know there's two mo' that wonder where the shooter go
'Bout to jet, get him, not a bet, dead 'em
Let 'em spit venom said 'em got a lot of shit with 'em
Let the rhythm hit 'em, it's stronger in the other voice
We make the joints, that make 'em spread 'em butter moist
Man, please, the stage is made of panties
From the age of baby hoochies, on to the grannies
Hand me the dough rake, daddy
The flow make her fatty shake, patty cake, patty cake
For fake, if he was, Anita Baker's man
He'd take her for her masters, hit it once and shake her hand
On some ol' thank ya ma'am an' ghost her
She could mind the toaster if she sign the poster
A whole host of roller coaster riders
Not enough tracks (is it?)
Hot enuff black (for ya)
It's too hot to handle, you got blue sandals
Who shot ya? Ooh, got you new spots to vandal?
Do not stand still, boast show skills
Close but no crills, toast for po' ills, post no bills
Coast to coast, Joe Shmoes flows ill, go chill
Not supposed to overdose, No-dose pills
Off pride tikes now talk wide though scar meat
Off sides like how Worf rides with Starfleet
Told ya, on some get-rich shit
As he get older, he gets colder than a witch tit
This is it, make no mistakes
Where my nigga go?
Figaro, Figaro
All these beats and my rhymes attack
A scary act
All black like, Miss Mary Mack
Wait 'til you see 'em live on the piano
Doom sings soprano like uno dos y'ano
My momma told me
Blast him and pass her her glass of Ol' E
Not to be troublesome
But I could sure use a quick shot of double rum
No stick of bubble gum
I like ice cream
We could skip the wedding
Have a nice dream
She only let him stick the head in
Important to know carrying on, DOOM died on Halloween...
Hey man I know your caught up rn with drake and Kendrick but you should checkout convexed, for a vid or just to listen. One of the all time greatest hip hop albums feels like a time capsule of the early 2000s
Didn't think id see you do DOOM since ive seen you wearing clothing like your shirt before
