Knox, I’m always just blown away by your ear, how you hear and can repeat Ren’s bars perfectly. You are easily my favorite reactor, mostly because you are so freaking intelligent and you know your craft so well.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how fast Knox caught most of the bars Ren was throwing rapid fire on the first take? It took me like 5-6 times just to catch half of that T scheme he threw in the middle. Knox is built different. Love this reaction.
So glad to see you've fallen down the rabbit hole that is Ren. Once your ears have been exposed to his poetry you have no choice but to seek out and enjoy everything he's ever released. Take care on your journey, it gets emotional.
I've been stuck in the ren rabbit hole since I found violets tale. Even though I listen mostly to obscure punk rock I love everything this man does. His rap skills, guitar skills, acting skills, and lyrical poetry have drawn me in like few artists have in the last two decades. Even have me appreciating and listening to other rappers in the underground UA-cam scene.
Watching this was like watching a sportscaster breaking down a run play in a football game. this was fantastic. Also, the fact that you recognized Django Reinhardt, the jazz player known for his two finger style on jazz guitar, is insane. Like watching a DJ pull the most obscure record out of the crate!
Love how you put this . This was so much more than a reaction. This is the second time I watched this. I will probably watch it again sometime. Also as a bit of a novice to Rap . It's nice to have the break down.
Exactly. Of course it helps when the announcer has a day or two to review the tape and get all of his "deep soliloques" just right 😂. This is more like a Sportscenter episode.
Think you may appreciate Ren - Losing It (Fischer Retake) this is another rap song but over a more dance based beat so technically very difficult, he demonstrates many flows and unique style as well as great musical production skills
Yeah, I asked for this one at same time as The Hunger. IT's a great track, and I think if Knox was impressed by his flow and cadence changes in this he would love Losing It.
I've hit a point with Ren where I'm literally watching every reaction video because I'm so blown away by him I find enjoyment from seeing other people do this. Your reaction video is one of those ones that stand out to me. You appreciated everything I did. You go back and re-do bits to properly hear them. A lot of the reactions have been huge let-downs but this was absolutely not. He's utter gold though ain't he? Properly born to be doing what he's doing.
Man KNOX. Ain't no one gonna break it down like you! You are the champ fr!🤗 Another one for Ren as well! The kid hasn't missed yet!! The all-around skills he has are just amazing!😍 Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤
Bruh…. You are very talented. You didn’t study this song before you listened? Broke down all the analogies broke down the word play and picked up on intricate word structure while understanding every point behind every bar. You are unreal!
@@blakeyy2085 really? Oh, I apologize then. It just seems to me that he's a hack that watches these beforehand and scripts his so-called "reactions". With his fake "look in the distance while deep in thought" stare and his excitement when he says "Oh! I didn't catch that before" 🙄. But hey, if YOU say its his first time, I'll believe it.
@@justmyopinion7269 ngl you actually have a point. But nevertheless he does a very good job catching things that I never found in the songs. But I mean idk his expressions seem very genuine like it's the first time hearing it but idk man, my guess is as good as yours
And this is why you are my favorite reactor! “Genesis” next please. For a really fun old school sound, check out “What you Want”. “Sick Boi”, “Power”, and “Losing it” are dope too!
Want more insane Godlike unhuman bars by Ren!??? 1.Life is funny 2.Love music pt2 and pt3 3.Loosing it Fisher retake 4.Hold on 5.what you want 6.power 7.genesis
I am 52, know nothing about rap, but I know I like this. Thank you for such an interesting reaction, I genuinely learnt something that helped me understand, from your well explained dissection of what I feel is a genuine piece of art in every respect, the skill, the message delivered, the musical references. Ren seems to have the power to speak to such a wide audience across genres. This is what rap should be and not about buying big wheels and jewellery.
I hope you are encouraged to spend some time looking more into hip-hop. There is a great book called "Can't Stop, Won't Stop - A History of the Hip-Hop Generation". You should give that a read, and listen to the music they reference as you go along.
I’m an addict, I need my daily script of REN. This man should be a controlled drug as I can’t stop. Every track is never enough I’m left thinking…..that was moorish, go on just one more line brother😂
So dope how Ren has just taken over UA-cam really! I was begging reactors to check him out a few months ago I just never had the money to donate a request for it! But I guess I didnt need to cause great talent will get noticed eventually! I wish all the success in the world for that man! But first lets get him healthy and strong again so we dont have another tragic story to one of the greatest artists of our time! He doesnt need a tragic ending to achieve this status! He always has it in my book!
I've been waiting for this one from you! Only you can do this breakdown justice and actually understand and appreciate this track! And I loved how you seemed to really be enjoying it while breaking down the bars and explaining the flow switches! This is my favorite Ren track so thank you for giving it the attention and appreciation it deserves. And I've thought the same thing about Ren, he has that old soul paired with a youthful nature, equals straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ren's rise sparked off the back of Hi Ren which was obviously amazing and opened us up to a plethora of his other work, and what we found, The Hunger being an example, is that this man is not only filled to the brim of raw and amazing talent but has a versatility that seems almost endless!!! He's creative, artistic, raw and genuine, hes what so many of us have been waiting for
@@mishimishmash I tried telling you where but UA-cam we’re not having any of it and deleted my comment. I’ll be more vague. There is a tribute channel ……ren makes music fans. Beatboxing from 2 years ago from a november 4 instagram post,. With Sam. You shouldn’t miss it. 2 years old.
Right! REN is off the chains genius! And Knox, Knox my man can u ever break down a song like no other that in itself is amazing 👏 🙌 Shout out to all the RENegades!! ❤️
I'm calling out the sweet throw to Run DMC at the end with the hoodie pull and the head nods 🙌 Ren's Retake of Beastie Boys Whatcha Want is sooo many sweet layers of 90's🎶 Love your lyric break downs, beaming you best vibes!🎶🌞🎶
...and play 10 instruments well. Half of them ridiculously well! All self-taught, of course... and his voice! What a voice! I recommend Chalk Outlines, live version and 'Man's World, part of a trio of songs with Sam Tompkins, for those who haven't heard much of his singing voice yet. You'll be blown away! He capable of SO many vocal styles and tones! :)
I am lost to Rap unless Knox Hill reels me back in with his awesome breakdowns! I understand these songs more because of Knox's deep understanding of the 'technicals, the terms, as well as the history and the background of the artist, and can deliver such great analysis on the fly! Thanks!
Thank you for the reaction. I haven't really been a huge rap fan in my life but I like all music. I just find that if I can't understand the lyrics I can't really connect to the songs and I zone out but that's probably because I don't understand the technical skill involved. I really do actually enjoy the Ren tracks though. I find his approach quite original and exciting and I like the way he switches the tempo and his performance skills. It's all utterly captivating and surprising. I honestly don't think there has ever been another artist that can act, sing, rap and create somany different types of music to the standard he does. If there is someone please let me know but I'm 43 and I'm just trying to think if I remember anyone as multi talented as Ren in all areas of music and I can't think of anyone. Hes pretty amazing. He made me like rap!
Knox, you breaking bars down for me is why I now enjoy the genre. It took Ronnie Radke to get me interested in rapping, I guess he was my gateway drug, but without you to slow it down, explain it, dissect it I probably wouldn’t have found this newfound appreciation inside myself. Thanks Man.
I just have to say thank you for reacting to music 😂 I watch many react channels and I find myself rewatching your reactions because you help me understand and appreciate each song 10x more🙏🏻
Love the reaction. So glad he puts the lyrics in the description. It's taken me a few times to catch what he's saying, double and triple time. You should also check out his Losing it (Fisher retake) and his Beastie Boy vibe song, What You Want.
As a total aside, and before I watch this video, just wanted to say that I REALLY dig the cover art on your album! I keep meaning to say that but then get caught up in your video analyses. Now, back to the video!
Thank you! If you haven’t checked the album out I highly recommend it. Mixture of storytelling, experimentation, styles and of course a lot of hip hop soul pumped into it 🤟
Finally! Been waiting for this one. Fucking love this song and it’s great to see a reaction of someone really appreciating the skills. Hope we get more Ren reactions ❤
I'm HOG 4 life, But OMG REN is running on constant play next toTom and Jelly Roll right now. Hope he has a fan club, I am so down for his talent, I feel like a a crazy person trying to find more of his content. I hope he gets Well soon. I really hope he can stay independant though. I'll by a hard copy album from him yesturday. LOVE REN.
You really deliver the best content-related reaction to Rens videos of all the others I’ve seen (I’ve seen many!!) You point out the technical, the spiritual, the verbal, the ethical and the visual. I love to listen to an expert like you. You really add more to the video. Thank you. Love from Amsterdam
Hey bro, I'm a 53 year old white guy from North England. I got into rap via The Message, Run DMC and all the way through Eminem and Snoop, Ren reignited my passion. This is the new Old Skool. Great reaction to it, loved your technical analysis of what he's doing. Sub'd.
You did a great job helping me understand the complexities of rap. I love REN. It’s obvious you love what you’re doing and appreciate other’s work. Very good analysis. Thank you. Good luck with your music and your channel.
Man, I always love your breakdowns but this made me so happy. As soon as I heard this for the first time I knew it would be the only song I listened to until I had the lyrics committed to my memory. He is actually such a badass and you kept up with all of it! You are awesome, thanks for this it made my day! I can't remember if you've listened to his track called Genesis or not, but if not you should seriously consider it.
With your Enthusiasm about technical skills and syllable schemes, you really should react to Ren - LOSING IT. If you haven't heard it yet, you'll love it. I think you'd appreciate the complexity more than most people and explain what's happening to those who don't.
Thank you Knox. And you got me with the Willy Wonka! I couldn't believe you not referencing that. I love all the food references. You truly did this justice. At some point we will need you to react to Losing it (Fisher), which is him just showing off a bit and having a blast while he's at it. I don't think anyone but you can do that one justice. And Sick Boi, of course! Well, and then there is Genesis and Power, and What you want for fun. Ahhh.
Really enjoyed your reaction! Thank for explaining all the details..... You caught that weird double rhyme thing too! Ren is a master of musical diversity.... Dive deep and react to ALL OF THEM it is worth it! Just put your hands together and jump..... Ren's got you!
watched this few weeks ago, and even watching a few streamers cover the song, i've picked up so much more about the song in your breakdown than i even conceived while listening to it. So kinda glad i subscribed - however in all honesty im only tuning into your ren vids atm.
I enjoy watching Reaction videos for songs that i know, enjoy or can be surprising but what i really do enjoy about yours is also your great culture, how you can get and point out the reference that some of us probably don't get, i find it pretty impressive and it shows how passionnate you are. It makes me feel that you don't react because "it's a trend" or sometimes like that but really because you like it and you have something to share about it. Really like what you're doing.
Knox! Love you! made me love Ren even more and I appreciate you helping me get everything out of the song . Your awesome, gifted, and have a purpose for your fellow artists lifting them up it’s a beautiful thing.
Great reaction and analysis! A real testament to your skill that you can almost instantly pick out the word, flows and rhyme schemes. Great stuff! And I'm not even a rap fan, per se!
Knox, man! I just found you as I'm sure many have via Ren's rabbit hole! I have to say, you are incredible at interpreting his rhymes and as a Brit, I have to tip my hat to your understanding of the English culture and how you are able to pick up o all the subtle references like no other American I know! Props. Keep it up, man. Ren is sick and you sir, are too!
Great breakdown Man…..🥊🥊 More Ren please………. Would love you do breakdown off. What You Want, Ren captures the old school late 80s early 90s hip-hop rap feel and more importantly the way he rhymes the words together… nailed it. Keep up the Quality breakdown videos
Love this reaction. I know nothing about hip hop/rap - never really listened to it before Ren. But you break it down so well and explain it for people like me. And it just confirms what a freakin' genius Ren is !
Love your videos man, as someone who doesn't speak English as a native language or culture you explain the references, it's a mind-opener for me. Made me enjoy Ren's music even more, thank you
What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro grab your signed CD & merch now 🤟 www.knoxhillmusic.com

I can't wait 😭

React to sunrise session by Songer it has some deep bars from a uk rapper too 🔥
Ren, Losing it, Sick Boi, Genesis, or Power.
React to this song ( Chinkung Chuak Artist - we are the world )

Knox, I’m always just blown away by your ear, how you hear and can repeat Ren’s bars perfectly. You are easily my favorite reactor, mostly because you are so freaking intelligent and you know your craft so well.
I concur.
I agree mostly, I would use secondary screen/monitor/paper for lyrics. Knox prolly not using lyrics here?
he is literally the GOAT at this
Yeah. I had to come back here once I knew the song better because I knew this guy might have a chance of actually breaking it down for me.
“Swallow the flow like a toblerone” is not just a bar, it’s a chocolate bar, about an actual chocolate bar. Barception!
Swallowing a toblerone is best done bit by bit and even then chewing is highly recommended. Otherwise you will be headed to the hospital!
Ha just commented the same. A lot can get lost
Impossible or very painful to do at once.
Bardcore
Ummm... yes 😅
Can we take a moment to appreciate how fast Knox caught most of the bars Ren was throwing rapid fire on the first take? It took me like 5-6 times just to catch half of that T scheme he threw in the middle.
Knox is built different. Love this reaction.
Yes!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖
It's great to see how Ren has blown up in the past few months. He really deserves it
People don't understand how happy it makes me that he's getting all this attention. Can't think of a person who deserves it more.
YES!!!!
I think there’s quite a few of us that been wondering why he hasn’t exploded all these years! THE TIME HAS COMEEEEE!
This dude is one of the most talented people I've ever seen. Unbelievable
@@burkhartlaw1 he really is
Finally, the "The Hunger" reaction we've all been waiting for...

I can't remember if you've listened to his track called Genesis or not, but if not you should seriously consider it.
With your Enthusiasm about technical skills and syllable schemes, you really should react to Ren - LOSING IT. If you haven't heard it yet, you'll love it. I think you'd appreciate the complexity more than most people and explain what's happening to those who don't.
Yaaaaasssssss 🥳🥳🥳
I was hoping you would react to this one 🤞🏻
He represents 90s hiphop with bunch of classics and still refreshed with modern elements. Fr? He came to change everything. Mark my words
Watched a lot of reactions to this and yours is by far the best. You noticed and understood so much, really impressive!
Awww yeah! I was really hoping you’d analyze this one!! I have zero technical knowledge but I know my ears love it!
Thank you Knox. And you got me with the Willy Wonka! I couldn't believe you not referencing that. I love all the food references. You truly did this justice.
At some point we will need you to react to Losing it (Fisher), which is him just showing off a bit and having a blast while he's at it. I don't think anyone but you can do that one justice. And Sick Boi, of course! Well, and then there is Genesis and Power, and What you want for fun. Ahhh.
This is one of my favorite reactions to rewatch.
He's got several more bangers. I'm looking forward to you reacting to those . Ren Losing it (Fisher Rap retake) is unique - rapping over an EDM beat.
So great to listen to a reactor who actually knows what's happening. Excellent analysis, Knox, great work. Checked your music out, as well. Awesome.
You're just so smart with these breakdowns man. Appreciated
Can't wait to see your take on Ren - Losing It. Keeps ringing in my head for weeks now...
You've done the storyteller ... now the rapper...
Do 'How to be me' or 'chalk outlines' to immerse in the vocals. ❤🌹
Their duets always give me chicken skin. Heartfelt beyond words.
I would love to hear you do sick boi!! I love that you actually react to it and talk it down and break it down!!!
Really enjoyed your reaction! Thank for explaining all the details..... You caught that weird double rhyme thing too!
Ren is a master of musical diversity.... Dive deep and react to ALL OF THEM it is worth it!
Just put your hands together and jump..... Ren's got you!
Been waiting for the one and only Knox Hill to comment on this song . What took you so long man finally. Another amazing break down 😎
watched this few weeks ago, and even watching a few streamers cover the song, i've picked up so much more about the song in your breakdown than i even conceived while listening to it. So kinda glad i subscribed - however in all honesty im only tuning into your ren vids atm.
Dude, your breakdowns are the best!!! No competition at all.
Respect Knox, for supporting Ren and another great breakdown.
I'm impressed you caught and even knew Django Reinhardt
Bittersweet Symphony retake is great also.
I enjoy watching Reaction videos for songs that i know, enjoy or can be surprising but what i really do enjoy about yours is also your great culture, how you can get and point out the reference that some of us probably don't get, i find it pretty impressive and it shows how passionnate you are. It makes me feel that you don't react because "it's a trend" or sometimes like that but really because you like it and you have something to share about it. Really like what you're doing.
Knox! Love you! made me love Ren even more and I appreciate you helping me get everything out of the song . Your awesome, gifted, and have a purpose for your fellow artists lifting them up it’s a beautiful thing.
You do the best analysis - clever Knox ❤️👊🏼
You’re the man Knox, loving the Ren reactions. I’d love to see your breakdown for ‘Power’. Probably my favorite Ren song.
i love knox's reactions sm fr, keep rocking dude you are awesome, Ren is GOAT material
With NF dropping tomorrow I’m imagining what an NF/Ren collab would sound like and now my brain hurts!
Ren fan here. Your breakdown had me liked and subscribed within the first 10 seconds. Great job.
You should check out the song Losing It by him, he really shows his rap skills on the song and the beat is fire 🔥
I've been waiting for this reaction! Woo-hoo!
Genuinely think you two could make a seriously dope collab 👌
4,000 views in the first hour? Nice. Dig the work. Keep it up!
Great reaction and analysis! A real testament to your skill that you can almost instantly pick out the word, flows and rhyme schemes. Great stuff! And I'm not even a rap fan, per se!
Listened to this reaction several times, the reason I subbed. Just wish there were more thumbs to put up.
Knox, man! I just found you as I'm sure many have via Ren's rabbit hole! I have to say, you are incredible at interpreting his rhymes and as a Brit, I have to tip my hat to your understanding of the English culture and how you are able to pick up o all the subtle references like no other American I know! Props. Keep it up, man. Ren is sick and you sir, are too!
Great breakdown Man…..🥊🥊
More Ren please……….
Would love you do breakdown off.
What You Want, Ren captures the old school late 80s early 90s hip-hop rap feel and more importantly the way he rhymes the words together… nailed it.
Keep up the Quality breakdown videos
Love how you break down EVERYTHING so perfectly... that's all. Thanks!!
thank you so much for this very detailed analyse !
The lad is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR to the music scene !
Love this reaction. I know nothing about hip hop/rap - never really listened to it before Ren. But you break it down so well and explain it for people like me. And it just confirms what a freakin' genius Ren is !
Love your videos man, as someone who doesn't speak English as a native language or culture you explain the references, it's a mind-opener for me. Made me enjoy Ren's music even more, thank you
