"You're the fucking Mother of the Year" + Tom's facial expression = me dying laughing. I'm currently going down the Tom & Nova rabbit hole three years after Knox made this video, and I'm having a blast learning more about their pasts and their careers. One of the things I enjoy seeing is the progression of Tom increasingly using his acting skills from his previous time as a professional-wrestler in his music-videos, and Nova is very talented on capitalizing on them with her videography.
Solidly, ppl miss that Tom played on his first one to see how mac would come back and then fucking buried him. there was never gonna be a second mac song, the goal was to either fuck on him and laugh or murder him and it be over.
I was never a fan of either. But this is easily Tom's best song. As sadly the vast majority are trash baiting sjws with fake dog whistling that he doesn't even believe himself. The songs where he isn't doing that, he also tends to not rap nearly as well as in this song. I much prefer his music that he dropped pretty much from this song and before it. Almost everything after I was incredibly dissapointed with
@@KnoxHill btw, you're the typical white rapper who raps fast with mediocre punchlines/metaphors and not really saying anything at all. You should change that.
I never caught that subtle camera work for "Where are you going? I'm over here!" There are two kinds of reaction vids. The lazy ones where they bob their head and then ask you to like and sub, and the ones that actually add something to the original video. You're the latter, and that earned my sub. Keep it up dude!

How did they do it in 1 day!?! Maybe they have like 20 people working for them - some write lyrics & multiple cameras & whole editing department. Just the recording would take me a month.
@@bestdjaf7499 Because Tom is an actual rapper, along with Nova being amazing at the production of videos its not that hard. He literally says hes not even trying thats how easy it was.

I understand dis tracks, but with a daughter at home he's willing to make a reference like that? Maybe Tom was right about his parenting skills. Is that the right attitude towards women? No matter what you want to call Tom
Maybe he had a few rhymes prepared, but a LOT of this diss track was responding to the things Mac said in HIS diss track. So it couldn't have been ready and waiting to go. He also bought the beat from someone else instead of making it himself because he needed to get it out quickly. So he literally wrote the majority of the lyrics, recorded them, and got the video shot and edited within like 24 hours, lol! THAT is fucking impressive.

You’re reaction to this is my absolute favorite. Only one to mention how great the trolling is on the “crazy sun of a gun” line and the Ellen reference, I love the smart ass smirk he gives the camera when he says them. Also the only one to notice the low vocal track on the Grimm reaper line. That’s in Whiteboy a lot and a few other songs too, didn’t even notice until I heard it on good headphones. You caught everything! Oh and the face you made on the Chris Benoit line, perfect shock, then moving right along, love it!
This might be...NO...is the best breakdown of this diss track I've heard...you caught so much that other reactors just glossed over...the satire of it all...tom baited Mac the entire time...beautiful. good shit man🤟💀🤟 P.s. DX by the way
Naw bro. At this point only lethal had takin family shots. In Tom's first track all he said was "it's not a joke when your going broke, and you got a daughter at home". That's a shot at lethal and in no way at his daughter. But lethal used that to take it further and some how called Tom out for it. Lethal is so silly.
2 months late but, also notice that Tom never once attacked the daughter. The wife and Dave, yes, but never the girl. I hate diss stuff, but at least there is that.
I remember watching this unfold and I loved it. I didn’t see the original tweets, just Tom’s first diss right after it went up. I watched it and said “that seemed kinda soft, I think he’s baiting him.” Sure enough Mac comes back with the weakest diss and Tom had already set him up for the haymaker. It was glorious and I’m not even a big fan of Tom’s. It was just awesome to call that setup and watch it actually unfold in real time. Flawless victory.
I just saw it it was awesome 😂 he was like oh someones gonna get shot 😂 wtf you talkin about, i hope this doesn’t go further than music 😂 like wtf you gonna do idiot, like a kid who’s seen a gun for the first time and feels almighty
Tom's mastery of the visuals in his videos is what set him apart from other rappers. He's not just standing there rapping. You cant help but get pulled even deeper into the song through his facial expressions and movements
@@KnoxHill exactly. And so much of the swag is his attitude, how condescending and playful he is while he's wordplaying with the topics that lethal aimed at. Like he defused and countered almost every claim lethal made. I think MacDonald ended up saying he didn't like the feeling it gave him to go this hard at someone, so not sure if he'll ever battle someone again but his fire is still raging in tracks like No response, as you saw. Keep up the TM content when you can! Cheers Knox!
The other aspect to this that even Knox missed was the fact that Mac made a big deal of his wrapping tag name having something to do with Tom’s first name. Tom refused to acknowledge the tag name at all and keeps calling him Dave. I don’t know Dave’s last name and that level of familiarity leaves the impression that Mac is ultimately forgettable.
Even with how big Tom has got, this is still to this day my all time favorite song. It never gets old. Lmao! Everytime I hear it it's like I'm listening to it for the first time all over. Love it.
Just found Tom MacDonald tonight. I'm new to the rap genre, and am so impressed with your breakdown that helped me appreciate even MORE of Tom's artistry. Your breakdown, Knox, is an artform in itself!
The song changed the moment he said I'll stomp on your face til your cheeks are purple... he stopped being "fun" there and really did stomp him after that.
I'm glad you recognize how savage this was. So many were scared to say shit against Mac lethal. I'm not usually a big fan of Tom but this diss track blew me away.
I don't know why I never get tired of watching Tom hand Dave his a$$ on a silver platter, thanks for the cool videos bro! I really think Nova's powerful camera work adds so much to Tom's videos it's crazy awesome!
Tbh, the way Mac approached the did track didn't really make sense. The man was a successful battle rapper,he knows how to hit where it hurts..... It was very much "I've got an album out soon
i don't even know who Mac Lethal was before this beef so i'm not biased, but his diss was weak and he didn't even make the beat. he made a wrestling match of kids look like a gay porno scene and laughed forcibly(i don't believe his laugh was genuine) = childish nonsense, he spoke about Tom's girlfriend before they were a couple = Tom doesn't care, he spoke about Tom's appearance based on a funny video clip(Everybody Hates Me) = his whack appearance in video clips is irrelevant. these punchlines are weak for a diss.
Yoooo you're like the only one to get that the "tap on my shoulder and then run" line goes back to the beginning and not just the part where Mac said he wouldn't respond to a second diss. It definitely goes back to the tweets. Thank you!!
You are one of the best reactors, breaking down every bar. Rewinding After pausing so you don't miss enything and also pay attention to the visuals and the delivery. Awesome....always waiting for your Tom reactions. You are a reactor that give me the Feeling not only reacting for likes. You are really love what you do and actually care about what you watch and break down. Always great to watch your reactions ❤🥰
*Who are the 34 ppl who diskliked this video smh 🤦🏻♀️ I'm beginning to think those ppl liked this so much they turned their phones upside down And liked it again 🤣💀👀❤️*
YES! It's my birthday this week, and boom, you drop me the gift of a breakdown of my favorite diss track, something I thought I'd never get cuz the time had passed... THANK YOU! And you're right, this should exist cuz this track was a classic. Nobody does it better. You made my day.
I really like this reaction video. I normally dislike when people pause too frequently because those pauses are often filled with random stuff...but when you pause, you explain things and point out stuff I never noticed before (including the videography which almost never gets mentioned). I've listened to this diss track a dozen times before today but I learned tons just watching your reaction with the explanations and information that actually helps me understand and appreciate this track even more! Thanks!
Mac deserved the absolute devastation of Tom's "Benoit" bar... but there's no artist now or ever that could have survived that line in a battle.... that bar was a tactical nuke and it was over right then and nothing of mac survived lol
Bait, hook and sinker. People even told lethal he was being baited and then he went out and underestimated Tom and paid the price. Tom blew up and Lethal is...I dont know, just Dave now...lol
I've peeped a lot of reactors on these videos, but I gotta say man you broke it down the best. I appreciate your perception, and your ability to catch even the slightest sneak jabs. Your a talented reactor man.
The beginning where you caught the bar about the mirror. It's even better when you realize Tom was talking about when Mac was dressed up as the female version of Tom trying to hype him self up and his coming over and saying she is getting curious about the way he looks...perhaps that she likes the new look 😄
The weird thing about this beef is that about a month or two before I started listening to Tom after being a casual watcher of Mac. So I like them both when this went off. Though I do say Tom won for sure.
Mac put EVERYTHING he had into a single shot and had nothing left, Tom knew that and baited the shit out of him. He even pointed out in the track that Mac had to go looking for help to go after Tom.
The best thing about Tom's diss is the "I'm not even trying" at the beginning. You can tell hes being genuine when he says it. Hes just having fun with it and still managed to body mac.
You are a very unique reactor i love your videos you break them down in a way that no other UA-camr does and its not appreciated enough!!! Your reactions gave me a whole new outlook on music I dont listen to half the trash that comes out anymore
Reading the comment section I've seen many complimenting Knox for the awesome dissection he did and I gotta ask: are you surprised? This man here is one of the most cunning, intelligent minds on YT. Keep it up Knox. Lotta love from Italy. ❤
I got all of the Wrestling references, the Suck It + crotch chop is from legendary tag team D-Generation X which was Triple H and Shawn Michaels, I’m a huge wrestling fan. Tom Macdonald could possibly be the most dangerous UA-cam rapper when it comes to beef. The Chris Benoit tragedy reference might be the hardest hitting line in any UA-cam rap beef ever, shit got way too serious way too quickly.
Mmm 😋 *Shawn Michaels Mr. Heart Break Kid* A little PSA: I’m married now so my surname has changed but With my Maiden Surname my Initials are HBK lol & my sister’s initials are HBK as well. My momma wanted to keep our names very similar in sounding. Both of us were born before HBK was involved in wrestling.
No reactor broke this track down as well as you did when the track first came out! You never disappoint, Absolutely loved this, cant believe i laughed as much as i did the first time after soo long lmao! Keep up ur good work! Also i love wrestling! major fan since i was like 8
As a Brit the “transplanting hair to your head from your fanny” line is so much funnier because in England “fanny” refers to female genitals so in a way it’s another banger of a bar playing off the mac lethal is a woman joke😂😂😂
My favorite line is about his girl being on def jam, I love his relationship with Nova, Ghost was a huge insight into them, I had watched the No Good Bastards song right before Ghost and then the bloopers after Buttholes and became an even bigger fan.
Great Job helping me understanding some of the not so obvious lyrics/meanings in addition to the way songs are put together. Back story me (conservative male a57, Ozzy and Noah Kahan, I am a lyric lover) until last week I hated Rap. Maybe that was a little strong, Nope! HATED is the perfect word. Scrolling YT music Tom Popped up. I listened and my brain was on fire. Somehow it was like an acid trip that rewired my brain in 2 seconds, I instantly got it, the hate was gone. I feel like I have discovered something grandiose but I have the understanding of a child. This is a whole new world at age 57. Thank you for the breakdowns it is very helpful. Can’t say enough!!!!!
The first time I heard it I had to pause and sit there for a minute trying to understand the reference..... then it started coming back slowly and I was all like “ oh yeah, he’s the guy who..... wait.....wait...... OH MY GOD NO TH FUCK HE DIDN’T!” As the dots all started connecting!
Love how you dissect and breakdown the bars. And I didn't even know who mac lethal was until I heard this diss. Nor do I care anymore. Tom slaughtered him. #HogGang
I have no idea how he has not showed up on my radar until 2020... but damn!!! Tom is DOPE!!! I AM BANGIN" HIS TRACKS EVERYWHERE RIGHT NOW!! ON REPEAT!!! THIS TRACK IS FIRE, NO RAECTIONS IS SICK! I love how he does all his music with his girl and throws her in his tracks.
I could be wrong but the monetize line, ended with "Dave, that's a tell." Mac is known for doing humorous UA-cam videos. Dave Attell is a comedian. Again, I could be wrong but if not thats a dope punch. You're super on point though, love the breakdown!
I know I'm a few years behind on this, but just want to say I appreciate coming across people like you who know what they are talking about because I know practically nothing about music. Cliff Beats breakdowns made me appreciate Tom even more as I was missing bars and multiple meanings. I wasn't even interested in rap til I heard my first Tom Macdonald song last year (always been into country because my dad banned MTV and VH1 in our home growing up as well as anything but country or his old school rock on the radio) and I'm finally finding out at age 40 that its not the genre that matters to me, it's the authenticity and topics. Country is well known for telling stories but guys like Tom and Upchurch tell stories, do their own music, stay independent and impact people by what they sing/rap about. THAT's what matters to me. Now I will be looking into your music and reactions as well!!
I never heard of Mac Lethal until I heard this song, then I had to go back, listen to Tom's 1st diss, rhen listen to Lethal's, was not impressed with Lethal, and haven't bothered to listen to anything else he's put out. I love watching your reactions, you're awesome at breaking down the music, and interpreting the meaning behind the words. You're crazy good at this compared to other responses I've watched. Thank you! Also love a number of your own songs. Trying to build you up to my Tom/Eminem friends, because they all like both.
@KnoxHill Credit to you and all your reactions! Not only thorough at breaking down the bars but descriptive and well researched when helping to portray the picture initially intended! Plus you actually consider the production behind the lyrics which is awesome. Easily the best reactor to these that I've come across🙌🔥 credit where it's due👌
You need to cover all this beef. So you see why this beef got so deep and personal. It'll blow your mind, and you'll probably never listen to Mac again
Omg 😆 I watched this reaction when Knox first put it up & just wanted to rewatch it & I literally busted out laughing bc I had completely forgotten about that part of the video. Like I wonder why he just didn’t edit that part out of the video since he didn’t explain anything about what was going on. 🤷🏼♀️
I'm glad you're doing this one cuz one of your fans seems to think this isnt good. Lmfao... I'm h.o.g forever!! I'm one of those fans tom talks about in his song 'my fans' lol
That’s awesome Amy! Tom is absolutely amazing and definitely one of my favorite artists most definitely. I adore the fact him & Nova do everything ( & Evan) on their own Independent 💯!! It really is beautiful how he reaches out to his fans. Take care hon. 💙✌🏻
Nova does the hooks mostly not all of them. But yea she writes some of the hooks. That's why tom released no response with 6 minutes of bars to show he dont need hooks.
@@dazednconfused5344 "I conceptualize,produce and write like every record,me and nova work the hooks, then they're mix and mastered by evan" literally says in no response that nova is involved in his music
@@NunyaBezwacks Tom wrote Nova’s hook on Hey You though. Which is shocking to me, but they talked about it on one of Nova’s Facebook lives. It just sounds like a hook Nova would write.
Agreed!! Dude is DEF AN ENTERTAINER. He's an actor and like you said, he is a TRUE MC!! Not just a rapper! His lines are very intricate! TY for vids! Also, yea it got VERY PERSONAL!! I just heard him 3 days ago!! Dunno how i didn't hear of him. His VIDEO actually adds A LOT to his rhyming! His vids are on point! Haven't been this excited for someone since EM came on the scene 20+ years go! But honestly, he prob won't get a Grammy, they are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to SJW!! I think you're the ONLY reactor that actually caught the BENOIT line, shit was savage af. NO HOLDS BARRED
Bro ur like a hip hop thesaurus, almanac and dicrionary all in one. I know some people give you shit about pausing too much but you break shit down better then anybody ive watched. Keep it up bro
I'd love to see A reaction for Tom's first diss track. He is so complex your dissection of his songs makes me pick up on lines and definitions that I didn't even realize were there to begin with
You are the only, and I mean ONLY reactor to get every single bar perfectly. All of them. So many reactors miss a LOT of shit, even the ones people claim are the best. Especially the Benoit line, that was beyond brutal and amazingly hardly anyone catches it. Oh, the 11:11 line was a double whammy cus it also referenced one of Dave's albums called 11:11.
Bro when you said "If there are any Mac Lethal fans watching this, I'm sorry" I spit out my drink laughing my ass off.... Honestly is they read the title and still watch it and get butt hurt that is all on them. Mac opened a can and couldn't pour out the contents... Oooops, bad day for for him because Tom got lethal on Mac Lethal.... Hahaha
Best breakdown of this song and video. Didn't miss a single thing. Perfect. You win on the breakdown. Big fan bruh. Of you and your music and talent. Cheers
Well thank you for your awesome reaction on this. It makes more sense now then it did before 🤘🏼 didn't know who either were till recently 😂. Metal girl, but into the damn country rap and seen someone post a Tom song "the best rapper" fell for it!! I subbed , greattttttt job
I just want to say thanks for explaining some of the disses that i didn't get, it gave me more appreciation and understanding of the song. For reference I'm an Aussie, so some American based colloquialisms were lost on me, cheers.
What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! 👇 Also come join our discord and say hey discord.gg/wf8FX6X 🙌
why didnt you just do them in order ... good reaction tho
JID would be awesome! A song like Slick Talk or something like that
Try Chris Webby
They gonna kill me by Tom , serious song
Do the Upchurch and scru battle
D-GENERATION X! WHAT DO I WIN!?
xD knowing Knox it would be like a used rubber ducky or something.
I hope you and Nova are staying safe; it's my mom's birthday today (she loves you) so I thought I'd message and send some love. All the best Tom MacDonald.
A new carrrrr!!!
You win a year's worth of aluminium foil. Haha
I hope knox sees this. Also if you do a battle sessions with him it'll be awesome
I really love it when someone points out and appreciates the camera work, Tom is a beast but honestly Nova's work is so underrated
very much so. Hes lucky he ended up being able to keep her.
Headden Into Crypto
WTH that supposed to mean?
They were best friends for 10 years before officially dating, even though they had been fucking around off & on throughout those prior years before calling it official.
Nova even got ‘Tom’ tattooed on her chest before actually dating.
So I’m very confused at what you are trying to say about him being “Lucky to have kept her”....?
I hope you smiled, I started feeling like some weird stalker.

P.s. DX by the way
Most of what he went over most understand 😂 its funny how much he had to break down so many obvious points that I believe most got 😂

That Chris Benoit line fuckin won the whole thing
The other aspect to this that even Knox missed was the fact that Mac made a big deal of his wrapping tag name having something to do with Tom’s first name. Tom refused to acknowledge the tag name at all and keeps calling him Dave. I don’t know Dave’s last name and that level of familiarity leaves the impression that Mac is ultimately forgettable.
@@poetfrost bro if u listen closely at the end he says Dave Sheldon's severed head will be the evidence. I think his last name is sheldon
Even with how big Tom has got, this is still to this day my all time favorite song. It never gets old. Lmao! Everytime I hear it it's like I'm listening to it for the first time all over. Love it.
Just found Tom MacDonald tonight. I'm new to the rap genre, and am so impressed with your breakdown that helped me appreciate even MORE of Tom's artistry. Your breakdown, Knox, is an artform in itself!
Go listen to Jadakiss instead
@@juslikejessejamesHow about you go listen to Jadakiss and let other people listen to whatever they want.
Ok I thought this song was insane before I watched it now I realize what a fucking lyrical monster Tom is you explain literally everything perfectly
The song changed the moment he said I'll stomp on your face til your cheeks are purple... he stopped being "fun" there and really did stomp him after that.
I'm glad you recognize how savage this was. So many were scared to say shit against Mac lethal. I'm not usually a big fan of Tom but this diss track blew me away.
I don't know why I never get tired of watching Tom hand Dave his a$$ on a silver platter, thanks for the cool videos bro! I really think Nova's powerful camera work adds so much to Tom's videos it's crazy awesome!
Tom MacDonald made a new song, where Mac Lethal used the beat from fresh prince from Belair.
So glad you caught that muffin line! Had me weak af.
Knox, your face on that Chris Benoit line was priceless....
Who here was waiting for the to the Chris benualt line
Absolutely coldest bar I've heard in a while 🖤
Benoit...but yes, fire bar!
My mouth opened so wide when he mentioned Benoit a year ago
@@Tuxxyboogie oops
Every time. I love seeing people miss it
I am a Mac Lethal fan, but I honestly hated his dis track. I like when he raps while making pancakes, not when he is trying too hard. :/
Tbh, the way Mac approached the did track didn't really make sense. The man was a successful battle rapper,he knows how to hit where it hurts..... It was very much "I've got an album out soon
I mean his tracks are not bad.
I love his deep songs like Angel of Death.
But still,Mac is a better battle rapper than Tom.
For me...
I feel this comment in my heart and soul
mac got slaughtered. I'm a fan of both nut mac never had a chance
i don't even know who Mac Lethal was before this beef so i'm not biased, but his diss was weak and he didn't even make the beat. he made a wrestling match of kids look like a gay porno scene and laughed forcibly(i don't believe his laugh was genuine) = childish nonsense, he spoke about Tom's girlfriend before they were a couple = Tom doesn't care, he spoke about Tom's appearance based on a funny video clip(Everybody Hates Me) = his whack appearance in video clips is irrelevant. these punchlines are weak for a diss.
Love this, also love all your breakdowns, can’t believe I just found you before and huge shoutout for including Nova!!😊
Yoooo you're like the only one to get that the "tap on my shoulder and then run" line goes back to the beginning and not just the part where Mac said he wouldn't respond to a second diss. It definitely goes back to the tweets. Thank you!!
You are one of the best reactors, breaking down every bar. Rewinding After pausing so you don't miss enything and also pay attention to the visuals and the delivery. Awesome....always waiting for your Tom reactions. You are a reactor that give me the Feeling not only reacting for likes. You are really love what you do and actually care about what you watch and break down. Always great to watch your reactions ❤🥰
*Who are the 34 ppl who diskliked this video smh 🤦🏻♀️ I'm beginning to think those ppl liked this so much they turned their phones upside down And liked it again 🤣💀👀❤️*
Lol. Facts 🙌 Appreciate the support 🙏
@@KnoxHill *Your absofuckingloutely welcome doll 😇*
@@ashleynicole8736 I don’t know why but I love this comment section
those 34 people are MAC fans, they know what happen and just couldnt handle re-seeing it
I'm going to start thumb upping videos twice!! Once right side up and once upside down when I love things soo much. Lol
YES! It's my birthday this week, and boom, you drop me the gift of a breakdown of my favorite diss track, something I thought I'd never get cuz the time had passed... THANK YOU! And you're right, this should exist cuz this track was a classic. Nobody does it better. You made my day.
I really like this reaction video. I normally dislike when people pause too frequently because those pauses are often filled with random stuff...but when you pause, you explain things and point out stuff I never noticed before (including the videography which almost never gets mentioned). I've listened to this diss track a dozen times before today but I learned tons just watching your reaction with the explanations and information that actually helps me understand and appreciate this track even more! Thanks!
Mac deserved the absolute devastation of Tom's "Benoit" bar... but there's no artist now or ever that could have survived that line in a battle.... that bar was a tactical nuke and it was over right then and nothing of mac survived lol
So glad you did this one.. He baited him with the first diss, them totally destroyed him with this. DX, one of the best stables ever.. HOG.
Bait, hook and sinker. People even told lethal he was being baited and then he went out and underestimated Tom and paid the price. Tom blew up and Lethal is...I dont know, just Dave now...lol
Yo! My household is napping right now and I am trying soooooo hard to watch this without waking them up! Both Tom AND you are cracking me up 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love how you catch everything, especially the beginning with the Mac impression
I've peeped a lot of reactors on these videos, but I gotta say man you broke it down the best. I appreciate your perception, and your ability to catch even the slightest sneak jabs. Your a talented reactor man.
The beginning where you caught the bar about the mirror. It's even better when you realize Tom was talking about when Mac was dressed up as the female version of Tom trying to hype him self up and his coming over and saying she is getting curious about the way he looks...perhaps that she likes the new look 😄
The weird thing about this beef is that about a month or two before I started listening to Tom after being a casual watcher of Mac. So I like them both when this went off. Though I do say Tom won for sure.
Mac put EVERYTHING he had into a single shot and had nothing left, Tom knew that and baited the shit out of him. He even pointed out in the track that Mac had to go looking for help to go after Tom.
The best thing about Tom's diss is the "I'm not even trying" at the beginning. You can tell hes being genuine when he says it. Hes just having fun with it and still managed to body mac.
You are a very unique reactor i love your videos you break them down in a way that no other UA-camr does and its not appreciated enough!!! Your reactions gave me a whole new outlook on music I dont listen to half the trash that comes out anymore
Reading the comment section I've seen many complimenting Knox for the awesome dissection he did and I gotta ask: are you surprised?
This man here is one of the most cunning, intelligent minds on YT.
Keep it up Knox. Lotta love from Italy. ❤
I got all of the Wrestling references, the Suck It + crotch chop is from legendary tag team D-Generation X which was Triple H and Shawn Michaels, I’m a huge wrestling fan. Tom Macdonald could possibly be the most dangerous UA-cam rapper when it comes to beef. The Chris Benoit tragedy reference might be the hardest hitting line in any UA-cam rap beef ever, shit got way too serious way too quickly.
Mmm 😋 *Shawn Michaels Mr. Heart Break Kid*
A little PSA:
I’m married now so my surname has changed but With my Maiden Surname my Initials are HBK lol & my sister’s initials are HBK as well. My momma wanted to keep our names very similar in sounding.
Both of us were born before HBK was involved in wrestling.
Road-Dawg, Mr ass, and X-Pac were also part of DX
I think tom might be the best lyrical genius . Better than em
There used to be mor dx
Thank god you reacted to this! Was literally thinking the other day you should definitely try this track.
Literally get goosebumps listening to this
No reactor broke this track down as well as you did when the track first came out! You never disappoint, Absolutely loved this, cant believe i laughed as much as i did the first time after soo long lmao! Keep up ur good work! Also i love wrestling! major fan since i was like 8
Great breakdown man, you caught way more than I did when I Reacted to this song!
As a Brit the “transplanting hair to your head from your fanny” line is so much funnier because in England “fanny” refers to female genitals so in a way it’s another banger of a bar playing off the mac lethal is a woman joke😂😂😂
10:54
You know it hits when you duck out and forget to pause 😂😂😂
Tom Actually did the whole First diss slow as an insult, starting it out by saying he better go Slow so Mac can keep up.
That's @*%ing cold!
As soon as Tom laughs, you know he's going to hurt some feelings
My favorite line is about his girl being on def jam, I love his relationship with Nova, Ghost was a huge insight into them, I had watched the No Good Bastards song right before Ghost and then the bloopers after Buttholes and became an even bigger fan.
Great Job helping me understanding some of the not so obvious lyrics/meanings in addition to the way songs are put together. Back story me (conservative male a57, Ozzy and Noah Kahan, I am a lyric lover) until last week I hated Rap. Maybe that was a little strong, Nope! HATED is the perfect word. Scrolling YT music Tom Popped up. I listened and my brain was on fire. Somehow it was like an acid trip that rewired my brain in 2 seconds, I instantly got it, the hate was gone. I feel like I have discovered something grandiose but I have the understanding of a child. This is a whole new world at age 57. Thank you for the breakdowns it is very helpful. Can’t say enough!!!!!
When I first herd that chris benoit
line I lost it because I remember hearing about that live. love tom dope ass rapper
The first time I heard it I had to pause and sit there for a minute trying to understand the reference..... then it started coming back slowly and I was all like “ oh yeah, he’s the guy who..... wait.....wait...... OH MY GOD NO TH FUCK HE DIDN’T!” As the dots all started connecting!
Dude you’re one of the best reactors out there. You are so knowledgeable about your reactions!! Awesome job!!
I like what you are doing here. The depth of your reaction has earned a listen for your music. Great content, keep up the good work.
So glad that he didn't miss the insane Chris Benoit line
Love how you dissect and breakdown the bars.
And I didn't even know who mac lethal was until I heard this diss. Nor do I care anymore.
Tom slaughtered him. #HogGang
Such a thorough and perceptive reaction! I enjoyed how you got not only each bar but also all the other details that add to the effectiveness.
i dont know if anyone else mentioned this but toms 11:11 line was also in reference to mac lethals album titled 11:11
I read somewhere that it's the name of Ellen's production company as well.
This one had me laughing my freaking ass off 😂😂😂. I love Tom. He's the best, period. He definitely embarrassed Mac
I have no idea how he has not showed up on my radar until 2020... but damn!!! Tom is DOPE!!! I AM BANGIN" HIS TRACKS EVERYWHERE RIGHT NOW!! ON REPEAT!!! THIS TRACK IS FIRE, NO RAECTIONS IS SICK! I love how he does all his music with his girl and throws her in his tracks.
I could be wrong but the monetize line, ended with "Dave, that's a tell."
Mac is known for doing humorous UA-cam videos. Dave Attell is a comedian.
Again, I could be wrong but if not thats a dope punch.
You're super on point though, love the breakdown!
The best part is Tom does 20 styles of rap during this diss
Took me a minute. Mac had some sort of rap that 27 different styles, so why would Tom say 20. Yep, got it! Nice! 👍
Damn, this guy catches every damn line the first time.
I know I'm a few years behind on this, but just want to say I appreciate coming across people like you who know what they are talking about because I know practically nothing about music. Cliff Beats breakdowns made me appreciate Tom even more as I was missing bars and multiple meanings. I wasn't even interested in rap til I heard my first Tom Macdonald song last year (always been into country because my dad banned MTV and VH1 in our home growing up as well as anything but country or his old school rock on the radio) and I'm finally finding out at age 40 that its not the genre that matters to me, it's the authenticity and topics. Country is well known for telling stories but guys like Tom and Upchurch tell stories, do their own music, stay independent and impact people by what they sing/rap about. THAT's what matters to me. Now I will be looking into your music and reactions as well!!
I never heard of Mac Lethal until I heard this song, then I had to go back, listen to Tom's 1st diss, rhen listen to Lethal's, was not impressed with Lethal, and haven't bothered to listen to anything else he's put out. I love watching your reactions, you're awesome at breaking down the music, and interpreting the meaning behind the words. You're crazy good at this compared to other responses I've watched. Thank you! Also love a number of your own songs. Trying to build you up to my Tom/Eminem friends, because they all like both.
Did u know Dave has an album most people dont know about called 11:11 🤣😂🤣😂
This was too good and dave disappeared for months lol a little salty
@KnoxHill Credit to you and all your reactions! Not only thorough at breaking down the bars but descriptive and well researched when helping to portray the picture initially intended! Plus you actually consider the production behind the lyrics which is awesome. Easily the best reactor to these that I've come across🙌🔥 credit where it's due👌
stunt man dave ? super dave?
You need to cover all this beef. So you see why this beef got so deep and personal. It'll blow your mind, and you'll probably never listen to Mac again
What happened
Heresy Solo lay it on me
@Heresy Solo thanks for that lol. I didn't actually see any of these comments till just now
I love your reactions so much man there so entertaining and the breakdowns are amazing definitely the best reactor out there your goin places
He's having so much fun doing this dis track😂
Man your breakdowns are great, always pleasantly surprising me with your insight
Is anyone else curious what happened when Knox left the screen mad about something keep happening?!?!
Omg 😆 I watched this reaction when Knox first put it up & just wanted to rewatch it & I literally busted out laughing bc I had completely forgotten about that part of the video.
Like I wonder why he just didn’t edit that part out of the video since he didn’t explain anything about what was going on. 🤷🏼♀️
Seemed very serial killery
I am literally reading all these comments to see if anyone asks and if he answered. Oh well.
I'm glad you're doing this one cuz one of your fans seems to think this isnt good. Lmfao... I'm h.o.g forever!! I'm one of those fans tom talks about in his song 'my fans' lol
That’s awesome Amy! Tom is absolutely amazing and definitely one of my favorite artists most definitely. I adore the fact him & Nova do everything ( & Evan) on their own Independent 💯!! It really is beautiful how he reaches out to his fans. Take care hon. 💙✌🏻

Nova does the hooks mostly not all of them. But yea she writes some of the hooks. That's why tom released no response with 6 minutes of bars to show he dont need hooks.
Tom does his own shit...his music and Nova is totally different. Those are Tom's himself dude. Don't talk shit you don't know....
@@dazednconfused5344 "I conceptualize,produce and write like every record,me and nova work the hooks, then they're mix and mastered by evan" literally says in no response that nova is involved in his music
@@NunyaBezwacks Tom wrote Nova’s hook on Hey You though. Which is shocking to me, but they talked about it on one of Nova’s Facebook lives. It just sounds like a hook Nova would write.
Agreed!! Dude is DEF AN ENTERTAINER. He's an actor and like you said, he is a TRUE MC!! Not just a rapper! His lines are very intricate! TY for vids! Also, yea it got VERY PERSONAL!! I just heard him 3 days ago!! Dunno how i didn't hear of him. His VIDEO actually adds A LOT to his rhyming! His vids are on point! Haven't been this excited for someone since EM came on the scene 20+ years go! But honestly, he prob won't get a Grammy, they are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to SJW!! I think you're the ONLY reactor that actually caught the BENOIT line, shit was savage af. NO HOLDS BARRED
Bro ur like a hip hop thesaurus, almanac and dicrionary all in one. I know some people give you shit about pausing too much but you break shit down better then anybody ive watched. Keep it up bro
I'd love to see A reaction for Tom's first diss track. He is so complex your dissection of his songs makes me pick up on lines and definitions that I didn't even realize were there to begin with
Best reaction on this diss, I didnt even catch the at the core you are muffins line, thanks man!
Bro this is THE BEST REACTION TO THIS, Im laughing my ass off
You are the only, and I mean ONLY reactor to get every single bar perfectly. All of them. So many reactors miss a LOT of shit, even the ones people claim are the best. Especially the Benoit line, that was beyond brutal and amazingly hardly anyone catches it. Oh, the 11:11 line was a double whammy cus it also referenced one of Dave's albums called 11:11.
as I only recently discovered tom I didn't know any of the backstory to this but your break down just makes me love the dis track that much more!!
I knew you would appreciate this, it never gets old
I am so happy you got the Chris Benoit line...thank you. .
Bro when you said "If there are any Mac Lethal fans watching this, I'm sorry" I spit out my drink laughing my ass off.... Honestly is they read the title and still watch it and get butt hurt that is all on them. Mac opened a can and couldn't pour out the contents... Oooops, bad day for for him because Tom got lethal on Mac Lethal.... Hahaha
Best breakdown of this song and video. Didn't miss a single thing. Perfect. You win on the breakdown. Big fan bruh. Of you and your music and talent. Cheers
Well thank you for your awesome reaction on this. It makes more sense now then it did before 🤘🏼 didn't know who either were till recently 😂. Metal girl, but into the damn country rap and seen someone post a Tom song "the best rapper" fell for it!! I subbed , greattttttt job
“They're gonna need a whole family of coffins
When you Chris Benoit 'em to solve all your problems” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I just want to say thanks for explaining some of the disses that i didn't get, it gave me more appreciation and understanding of the song. For reference I'm an Aussie, so some American based colloquialisms were lost on me, cheers.
100% stone cold line made this one of my favourite ever diss tracks.. i like both artists.. tom won this without question.
Dude! I’ve been listening to you on Spotify for a year! You’re my go to music. You’re amazing, Knox!!!
The fact that you tried to remain so neutral, but just couldn't is putting a smile in my face :D
