Give Knox Hill the Grammy for catching every bars of this song. Salute to the O.G of breakdown
Much love! Thanks for supporting
20:20 , I think he is carrying the scheme of his birthday further in making a wish while blowing the candles. Like we do on our birthday with the candles on the birthday cake. Also he points out that it is very childish, but he likes it. I’m not sure, but I think i got something here
How would you know? You're writing this comment 20minutes into the reaction
The birthday scheme is about billie eillish he dropped on her birthday
Also playing on the corona viris that they advise to wash ur hands singing happy birthday
Consider the fact an MC spent an hour to breakdown a 5 minute track and months from now there will be bars we all missed in the comments. Genius.
Facts
YAAASS!! THAT'S what I truly appreciate!! 🤗❤️❤️❤️
@@azurnxo2134 100% facts. He's the GOAT of bar catches and breakdowns. I see soooo many others not going to mention names, try to break Em bars just to build their channel or career. Not #KnoxHill he actually knows what he's fucken doing and don't listen to the 2 or 3 people saying otherwise. I searched for real bar breakdown channels for months bro and swear the fuck to my kids that you're the only one that has the real ear 2nd to none! There's one other that can break bars close, but still not on your tier! Some of these channels, yeah,.. they're so called rappers...BUT, Those guys show their Tier. Yet, if they can't catch em, they ain't spittin' em on that level!
--->You're underrated!!
@@MrAce607 Man you're laying down facts!
@@azurnxo2134 thank you! Respect!
Your reactions are on point! One you missed I think was the "check my ball hair, make sure it's all there". I think this was a throwback to "Criminal" where he said, "If I ever gave a fuck, I'd shave my nuts." So in checking to make sure he still has ball hair, he's saying he still doesn't give a fuck.
Damn man!!! Nice one!!!
Holy shit the fact you even remember that
Wow that's insane 😱
Honestly my first thought was "by the skin of teeth, the hair on my nuts, I've skated by". Idk what song or album tho.
@@TheSolarzEclipse that line is from Cinderella Man. The line before it is about him not supposed to be here (song was released after his overdose). In this song, the preceding lyric is about giving zero fucks. Not saying I'm positive it was a reference to Criminal, but it fits a bit better.
the beat is actually Alfred's Theme from his show. so the beat is a double entendre itself 🤯
wow😵
Facts
We all asking "How does his mind work like this" lol
Man you’re just appearing Everywhere I go lol
He spent years in the dictionary - Then it became super focus as a result of his ADHD
Dude u be watching every reaction video😂
I see u every reaction video comments section
@KING BLITZ ! You should get in on the We Skeem competition too mate! Remix of Alfred's theme without listening to the original, explain more bars and you get $100!
ua-cam.com/video/1TjQItSfYtU/v-deo.html
Hey, it’s the king!!!
It’s funny how em can make a 5 minute song turn into almost a hour video
Facts lol
I think you fell short, we could talk about this super piece one day and the next we would continue to discuss, why is EMINEM, Men
This video can be 2-3 hours long if he catches every bar
1 minute = 10 minutes lol
Bs. Anyone can make a vid reacting to em this loud lmao
"Your ass is grass and im not gonna graze you" is a crazy triple.
Graze with bullet (shallow wound)
Graze the grass (he is one of the GOATs)
Grace you (Bless you/give mercy because hes a GOD).
Graze is a farm-to-table Madison restaurant with menus that feature a range of classics executed on a higher level than traditional pub fare.
Graze you also like your ass is grass and I'm a lawnmower. You mow it down, not graze you
How about graze like eat... like eat a$$ or Vijay
It also reminds me of killshot where em said MGK grazed him, or am I miss remembering?
18:58. The break with the "Happy Birthday" was due to the instructions on how to wash your hands during the Human Malware Virus pandemic. You are supposed to wash your hands for 20 seconds to do it properly. For those who do not know how long 20 seconds is, you are told to sing the first stanza of "Happy Birthday" twice while washing your hands. Hence hearing Em curse, then the sink water playing as he washes his hands and sings "Happy Birthday" to himself.
Omg bruuuhhh
No happy birthday of bilie eyelish don't you know😅
@@sushilanadar6693The happy birthday part does link to Billie Eyelish yes, but it does also link to Corona hand washing if you paid attention to him bringing up washing his hands prior to that section.
Thank you was gonna call this one out too!! Other than that banger ass videos ik im couple yrs late bit been binging always good seeing reactions like knox
He said happy birthday to Billie Eilish because he released the album on her birthday.
I think Em is at his best. He’s like wine, getting better with age.
"I'm like wine I'm the best seller (cellar)
Same. This just might be him at his lyrical best
@@mortifer7705 I still wine [whine] I'm the best seller [cellar]*
I i dont understan why people hate Revival much it is one of my favorite albums but my favorite eminem album is relapse it gave me this strength to get of ocs and then I felt like incould do anything
He hardly uses emotion but the passion is still there
Not sure if you heard this in America, but in the UK we were advised to sing Happy Birthday to ourselves twice while washing our hands so we knew how long 20 seconds were. That's why he starts singing it as he washes his hands.
That’s what I said too! Good catch
Good job i looked down here, i was going to say the same. Good catch
That might be one too but as someone in the comments said he released the song on Billie Eilish’s birthday, so he’s also singing to her
It was also billy eilishes birthday the day of the release
It was also billy eilishes birthday the day of the release 🤦♂️🤯🤯
For me the most fascinating line of this is 'It's obvious that it's impossible for me to be beside myself' ... because one of Hitchcock's enduring themes (literally Alfred's theme!!) is of the danger of doubles and doppelgangers, that you should always kill them before they kill you. And Em is saying, literally, it is impossible for him to be beside himself. There's also a film called Double Take wherein Hitchcock is actually murdered by a younger version of himself, which is similar to the running theme in Em's work of his conflicts with his dark side, being stalked by his own shadow, Shady coming out etc. istg the man is a powerhouse INTELLECTUAL!
oh this is a reference back to when i'm gone I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
Put it to my brain, scream, "Die, Shady!" and pop it and guess what that is a YOUNGER VERSION OF HIMSELF this was on curtain call the hits "When I'm Gone" is a song by American rapper Eminem from his first greatest hits album Curtain Call: The Hits (2005
okay makes even more sense w the new album where slim shady dies
Loved the intro bar, how he did like a throwback to Criminal.
"Give zero fucks, then I
Check my ball hair, make sure it's all there"
As a throwback to the line from Criminal "if I ever gave a fuck, I'd shave my nuts"
Damn i didnt realies that and now i fell dumb
Let’s be real. After Knoxhill vids, we’ll never gonna JUST play Em’s songs.
True..
You're right.
I never did lol i catch these barz first listen i watch reactions to see if they catch em all lol
The Happy Birthday skit was for the recommended time to wash hands and he dropped his album on Billie Eilish birthday so he was also singling happy birthday to her. Genius!
@@xWiffler with Em, nothings a coincidence
@@xWiffler Def not a coincidence. Em does that, matching dates with releases. Killshot; where he said that MGK would be Swayze after he's done with him, he released that disstrack on Patrick Swayzes death day anniversary.
There's many more, this is just one example.
The man thinks this shit through, there really is no coincidence with Em.
@@xWiffler Truth, you're speaking straight facts there my man!
Also 'im fulfilling my wish of killing rhymes...' when you're a kid you make a wish when you blow the candles out on your birthday cake! There is no end to his schemes!
It's about government telling people to sing Happy birthday while washing hands so that people could get rid off covid virus so we have to wash hands for 1 or 2 minutes so sing Happy birthday to pass time
Knox is the GOAT of reactions lol. I had to sit through this 50 minutes because this was my favorite Em track on this album. I wanted to see if I missed anything. Also, Knox! I've been downloading your music on Apple Music and it's 🔥! Keep doing your thing!!
Hell yea man. Appreciate the support on both levels!! 🔥
Every single line of every song on Side B is a fire f'n bar. It's insane
This is literally his best album imo.
@@helsharidy123 i like curtain call more but mtbmb is also one of his best albums of all time
@@helsharidy123 It's not but ok
@@Python-xs2iv He said in my opinion, for your information.
@@ryansiroop6885 whatever
Alfred's Theme is literally Alfred's theme song for his show back then.
I was checking the comments to see who realized. I'm surprised Knox didn't know that!! LOL
Right figured it was kinda obvious and Alfred's way before my time lol
Yeah it's from "Alfred Hitchcock Presents".
@@AznMikey he did know it. He says it when hes breaking down the pipe bomb in a pine box line
Thanks, Captain Obvious
I love how he didn’t graduate and still is using geography bars like that on us
Better yet DIDNT EVEN FINISH 9th grade!!!!!!!!!!! And is TOO SMART!!!!!!! I mean I am HUGE ON English Comp, Lit, and just reading MAJOR advanced stuff always have been and he just blows me away!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those Kinda Nights is even crazier though- with the Ohio city schemes
@@digitalutopia1 That was really good.
He knows this planet better than 98 percent of the people who have ever existed. Try to think of how much traveling this man has done. How many countries he has been to.
@@adamp2056 Shut up
Knox: "How does your mind work like this!?"
Eminem: "Good Question."
Anyone else notice the consistent theme of eyes throughout the song? From the cyclops to Visine to all those "i" rhymes and 2020 vision... Even more creepifying considering the background art lol. Love this breakdown.
There's a few reoccurring themes, trees for example:
"Like a tree mostly just all bark"
"yall picking the wrong tree"
"you probably go broke at the dollar tree"
"if you shot a tree you wouldn't pop the trunk"
It's crazy how interconnected everything is
breaking down Em lyrics is like self torture, so I appreciate your efforts bro xD
Lol facts bro. Think I broke my brain after this one
@@KnoxHill nah, that was just you leveling up from all the xp you gained.
But it's a beautiful kind of pain
@@Time_to_Believe_in_Yourself I see what you did there ...a "beautiful pain" indeed.
The Billie Eilish scheme has even more going on. He dropped the side B album on Billie Elish’s birthday, so when he sings happy birthday before the scheme he is singing it to her. He also says sipping wild Irish, Billie is Irish. And fulfilling his wish plays on the birthday scheme before hand because when you blow out candles you make a wish.
Like a lot of people in comments said the happy birthday is also for how long you should wash your hands for, making it a double
You still did an amazing job Knox, I was just impressed with myself that I caught something you didn’t
Damn, that's even deeper than the bar was probably supposed to go 🤣
Also, adding to the bar he is washing his hands as he sings happy bday which is another bar Bc they tell you to sing the happy birthday song while washing your hands so you wash them for long enough
@@jeremiah8475 holy fuck....that's even more clever. Eminem hurts my 🧠
Lol here is another that watches a bunch of reactors and uses bars they caught as their own when other reactors miss a bar
And they say to properly wash your hands its supposed to be as long as the happy birthday song
That "crocodile/croc a dial" went way over my head even with the phone ringing in the background. Gahdamn
That “double-crossed my fans” bar was also a continuation of when he said “TARGET on my back.” A target has the shape of a cross; one line going up, one line going across. What you said about the Xans could have easily been part of it, too!
You know Knox is f***ed when he forgot to certify the song at the end. Also that beat suddenly ran off on Em, that beat literally died at the end because Em killed it. The beat got killed. Even the ending is a double would you look at that!
Love the way you CAUGHT THAT!!
This beat was actually from the late 1800s I forget what its called but however it got used as the Alfred Hitchcock show theme is the early 1980s I do believe I remember as a kid watching this. Alfred Hitchcock has been dead, the beats been dead for years because no one other then Eminem has sampled it. So to wrap it up from the beginning he said overkill and he brought this beat back just to kill it again and I guarantee nobody will use this sample again in music this was meant for Em!!!!
Ahhh, nice catch! The very first time I heard this I was like idk about this cartoony music in the background but then realized that it is the theme to the Alfred Hitchcock program that used to be on TV long long ago. Then it made sense and totally makes the song!
Also, you could say he was already out of that pocket (outta pocket) in that line, that's why the beat cut off
“They call me dog because I'm bar-king” just a casual double entendre for Em.
Triple. Bark as in tree bark
Soooooo fucking hard lol I didn't catch that bar till like my 10th listen lol
My god bro, Em needs to fucking stop man. My head is gonna explode. Dude's too damn good.
@@VelvetVelva yeah, reference to trees because he said "y'all picking the wrong tree" in the last bar
Its actually another quad. There's also the english phrase "Barking mad" (Barking Mad=absolutely crazy) which is sometimes shortened to just "barking".
Em also literally barks directly after to highlight all parts of the quadruple and put emphasis on the mad/crazy part
It's a homograph...doesn't matter how many at the same time. You are so phenomenal at this!! Been re-tweeting your stuff on Twitter and posting links for your show! More people need to know about this show and your mad skills as a rapper!!!
Knox..he does it everytime! You poor guy...major props to you!!!
@@Sunny-jz3dywhat did you reply to?
3:33 For the Sample/beat ... its a re arrangement of Alfred Hitchcocks theme. From Alfred Hitchcock presents a movie or an episode.
Alfred's theme
That upbeat music is actually the theme music to Alfred Hitchcock's tv show, "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". I watched reruns of it all the time in the 80s so it hits me right in the nostalgia bone. But originally it was called "Funeral March of a Marionette" and was written in the 1879.
Hence, the track is called “Alfred’s theme.” Even Em’s song titles are bars! Lol
The More You Know
Was going to write this, but you beat me too it :)
@@originoflogos facts!!!
I knew what it was right away... I was like no he didn’t! 😂 surprised that Knox didn’t get that connection but he’s too young maybe
He meant “competition” when he said “stomping my comp, even if it’s off the top of the dome” basically he could freestyle and still kill it.
It's a double compound to as in stomping the hip hop scene
@@pauljones6789 yes, the only bar i understood that knox couldnt catch lamo
🤯
watching this man just makes eminem greater in my opinion
Because it takes a mad lyricist with a brilliant mind to point out the creativity from a goat
Stompin' a mudhole in my comp even if it's off the top of the dome
Son 'em, get the Coppertone, I'm at the Stop and Go coppin' the Mop and Glo
Stompin'a mudhole (tearing someone a new asshole/mudhole) comp is competition on the top of the dome is fighting the best of the best?
Coppertone is a word for people that don't get a tan, they only get sunburns.
He’s stomping a mudhole in the competition even when it’s a freestyle
"Stomping the comp" comp as in competition or competitors.
And at the end of the song he asked "wait why did the beat stop" to bring back what he said earlier in the song about not stopping until the beat does.
🤯❤️🤗😮. WTF?!
Fact!
Comp could also be a composition (in music) so if he is stomping comp it could mean that he is destroying the composition hence why the music stopped because the comp has been destroyed. And this is a reach but stomping also kind of sounds like stopping as well
Anyone else fucking love anytime he gets a bar he just sighs, rolls his eyes, and tries to catch himself
Dude is over exaggerating
18:54 there was an article saying "you need to wash your hands as long as the happy birthday song" so that's why he is singing and washing hands, not peeing.
I'm 4 minutes in and I can already tell you're very knowledgeable and genuinely appreciative of great music. You've already earned my subscription. One thing I'll add that I wouldn't expect you to have known is that the album was released on Billie Eilish's birthday which is why is sang happy birthday before going in to that bar.
Ya, and that’s why em planned it. Em is crazy crazy good with that shit! Every day he puts out a song or album he waits for a special date to make it hit harder, like kill shot! Just crazy how talented em really is! Alien 👽
It’s also how long you were supposed to wash your hands during Covid.. 20 seconds, the average time to sing happy birthday.. so it’s a triple
"I'm really on some Mary Poppins vibe, like Em is coming down with his umbrella destroying dreams and lives". 🤣😂🤣 this man.
Sounded like Tom and Jerry to me in the background
It's actually a sample mix of Alfred Hitchcock's intro song to his shows from the old days..
and who calls herself Mary Poppins? its rhymes with Pariah Scary.
Petition for Knox to react to “Key - Skit” on the album after one of these breakdowns just for the laughs
Agreed.I think his brain will hurt even more after this trolling
Agree
YEAAAAAAAH C'MON KNOXXXXXXXXX REACT TO KEY - SKIT FROM THIS ALBUM TOOOOO
Agree
Still a 30 min breakdown tho xD
'Pipe bomb in your pine box'.
That really sums up why I love rap, and more so, the style you see with people like Biggie and Em and Wayne, etc.
Killer poetry.
Since I live in Australia, these breakdowns help a lot as a lot of Eminem's stuff is American slang (a lot of the gun stuff especially). Keep up the great work. Thank you.
When Em said "gettin cut like abdominals" it also sounds like "gettin cut like a domino's", domino's as in the pizza you cut into pieces to eat
i heard that
Third that
What the hell goes on in Eminem's head bruh 😭😭😭
I thought I was hearing different from everyone else so i always let that go.. you’re the first person I’ve seen reference it. Most rappers struggle to spit a couple good bars.. EM spits multi syllable entendres and has bars in bars. Is there even a word for making an entire bar that has two different meanings but sounds the same? (Even though it is just a play on a single word that has to be more then a homophone)
"Em is just coming down on his umbrella destroying kids hopes and dreams." - " While holding his balls"
IDK if anyone has clarified yet but "stomping a mudhole in my comp" comp means competition. Even if it's off the top of the dome he's still slaying shit
I was looking for this comment, it seemed pretty straight forward especially if you're a wrestling fan "stomping a mudhole" is a very common term.
I’ve seen people make the connection between “check my ball hair, make sure it’s all there” in this song and “if I ever gave a fuck I’d shave my nuts” in Criminal. Love the vid man!
When Eminem is washing his hands singing happy birthday.During the pandemic the public were told by the government to sing happy birthday twice to make sure you wash your hands for 20 seconds.
That's how fast he is? Hahahaha
Also album came out Dec 18. Check out billies birthday
I don't pan dirt. No Gold diggers
Oh, like in the video it actually shows someone washing their hand while singing happy birthday??....I don't get it.
So true gotta love Eminem.
I'm old enough (69) to remember the TV series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents.😁 The background sample is the theme song to that show.💯 Since Em's song is named "Alfred's Theme", that's a double!🔥😂✌️❤️
Wait... a 70 yr old Eminem fan?....😂😂 nice mate you just got promoted to zoomer lol
Btw zoomer is young and boomer is old
@@exoticpyro7764 I've been a Stan since the Shady days.💯 But I think I'm too slow to be a Zoomer!😂✌️❤️
@@tomaleshire4145 Hitting us with a double for Zoomer! You a certified Stan ❤️
No matter the medium or genre, it's always a treat to see someone who is a really well-informed, excited fan of something explain what they appreciate about it and how they see it.
I will never understand how people dislike eminem, he is lyrically and rhythmically the most superior rapper to ever live, and definitely up their on the knights of the round table of MC’s
Hes a word savant, understands words in ways neurotypical folk cant fathom
Also the sour grapes line is about the Netflix documentary called "sour grapes" about a man who sold fake wine for thousands of dollars. 🔥
Also the playful instrumental throughout the song is literally Alfred hitchcock's theme song from the movie. Also he sings happy birthday (to Billie Eilish) but he's washing his hands coz you're supposed to wash your hands for the duration of the happy birthday song.
Holy shit, nice catch, ny head rn 🤯 EM is to much lol
sposta sing it twice i believe. I've never liked that song honestly
😮😮😮😮😮🤯
He was washing his hands and singing happy birthday for the full length of time to wash hands. At least that’s what i think
That was going around online when corona first started
also the album dropped in billie aniversary, so it could be that too, since he talked about billie too
@@andresousa5302 on Billie’s birthday*
@@andresousa5302 its em. It's all of that
It could of been both
I probably would've missed half of these bars (references, jokes, callbacks - pure genius) without this breakdown! I appreciate how Knox is just as blown away by Em's incredible intelligence and cleverness as I am! 🙌🏼
I love Alfred’s little tune sample in this beat. Goes back to the days my grandma and I would take the day and watch Alfredo Hitchcock movies. She especially loved “Birds!”
Man how can people say "oh i prefer old em to the new one" when Em is now more mature and killing it harder than ever.
Old em is just funnier and a littler more brutal and reckless when it comes to what he could say. But yes em is killlling it now
It's nostalgia and his songs were more catchy in those times n also I think ppl miss his old voice.. And his lyrics now is very complex which obviously goes over ppls head.. Or they complain they don't like the beats..
Yep those people are either basic fans or not fans that are living on nostalgia but never bothered to break down his bars. Eminem had literally gotten better with age, like so much better.
@@rogerm4a1 exactly lyrically.. But sonically ppl complain they don't like his beats n generally how the song is built.. This is why ppl hated revival.. I loved a lot of songs of revival and it just doesn't make sense how it got hated.. It's obvious ppl don't listen to the words.. This is why he said in the ringer ".. Maybe if I auto tuned it you would've bought it"
I grew up with old em... But this em ripped me 14 new assholes he's in his prime at 48 what the fuck
50 minutes? This is going to be a good one!
Much needed
I hate looking at time stamps when I'm on this channel because it raises expectations but WOW 50 MINUTES
Enjoy it
Yessss
I just saw that and grabbed the popcorn
I actually liked Alfred’s theme. The raps worked really well with the music, even if the words do go over people’s heads.
Crazy how Knox can pick all of this up and relay it to us. And em is the GOAT. Name another artist to put this many bars, references and doubles into one song. There's more bars in this than your rappers entire best album
Knox Hill, there should be a new category made for you! You aren't just a reactor, you break down the production of the song, get into music theory and have such a great knowledge of the history of hip-hop that it puts you in a whole different league! It is greatly appreciated and definitely time well spent!
Agreed. These eminem tracks over past few years especially. They are being reviewed by other artist mostly or mainly hip hop listeners. Knox is the only one that's not trying to "react" and entertain the viewers. Hes breaking down poetry and music theory and hes by far the best one doing that probably the only one. We need an unbiased music theory teacher or professor, someone that can really break down poetry and theory to fullest. Knox is teaching classes so imagine if a professor from Berkeley that studies and teaches this for years were to dissect it.
Knox catches 537 punches but his evening is ruined because he missed one. My dude!! Great job!!
Haha this is actually a fact. And since it’s Em I’m always gonna miss one. But the grind still continues
@@KnoxHill I think the comp is referring to composition stomping a mud hole in his composition.. Like composing.. Like Hitchcock 🤷🏼♂️
@@ToyReaper I thought he was stomping a mud hole in his competition for that bar but with em it probably has 70 meanings so everybodies right 😂
@@raz1287 definitely his Competition but you’re probably right lol 😂
THAT DOUBLE CROSS STAN TO XAN BAR IS CRAZZYYYYYY MANN WTF, KNOX YOU TRULY KING OF BREAKDOWN MANNN. PROPS TO YOUUU
i know this an old reaction but this song is fucking amazing ive seen so many reactions to this and every one i watch tells me something different about this song. I think you did one of the best breakdowns ive seen i thought i knew almost everything about this track until now you broke down some shit i didnt even know about eminem myself and im a self proclaimed stan fan since the beginning. Hats off to you man you are the real stan hahaha.
"It's obvious that it's impossible for me to B SIDE myself" a double for Beside myself - Since this is the B side of the album
BARS
Nice catch
Really a triple because it’s also a play off of the bar on MTBMB side A on the song You Gon’ Learn when he says “thought my name was B side cause they flipped over my tape” so in this song he is saying it’s impossible to B side hisself meaning he doesn’t miss anything like others do. Plus being beside oneself means that you are taken back or dumbfounded and Em is saying it’s impossible for him to be dumbfounded. I mean this bar alone has like 5 different things he is saying. The man is a G E NYUS 🤪
Like 4 meanings
He’s also saying ‘if cleanliness is next to godliness its impossible to b side my self’ meaning he’s a god so he can’t physically be next to himself
"Stompin' a mudhole in my comp even if it's off the top of the dome"... destroying the competition even in freestyle
Which could also be seen as stomping a new a**hole in the competition/competitor even if he has to stomp on their head. Killing the competition. Music to be buried by.
Yep. As a dude who lives in the south the mud hole was easy and as a former fps devotee I caught the comp reference. Though it took me a few times to actually catch the bar. Was looking to see if anyone posted about already before I did, good catch Jimmy.
And meine kompft in German meaning my head also the title of hitlers book. The line Makes sense when you put that in there
The beat was taken from the theme song to the TV series Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
Also Alfred Hitchcock was also named "The Master of Suspense" . So basically he is calling himself "The Master"
Almost 3yrs and this song is still a classic. I come back to this video occasionally just to appreciate the amazing breakdown ❤.
The beat is taken from Alfred Hitchcock’s show “Alfred Hitchcock Presents...” so there’s actually a quadruple for the line “throw in the theme to Alfred, I’ll channel him like the Panama Canal” 1. Panama Canal is a channel 2. Channel Hitchcock’s dark humor 3. Literally throwing in alfred’s theme on his track called alfred’s theme 4. Turning the channel to Hitchcock’s show
And Alfreds movie Notorious has a line by Ingrid Bergman talking about blowing up the Panama canal
That's fucking insane I've never seen a quad entandre 🤯🤯
The beat is called March of the Marionettes if anyone is wondering the name
When does Eminem say that in this video?
@@H2OIsMyBro 8:52
I'm getting settled in ready for my bar class
It’s a good one. Grab the notepad 🙌
Bro, you are hands down the best reactor on UA-cam. Thank you for that breakdown much appreciated.
3 years later and still comfortably the greatest breakdown of any song on youtube
Why Harvard does not give him Doctorate degree.... he is a lyrical genius
one of these universities will.................soon
Shut the hell up
The “frying after” he was talking about is the electric chair. Then the needle was lethal injection.
Also could be with the chicken scheme, as in frying chicken.
I think the burning in hell thing was also intentional too
Even though it's almost a year later. I love watching your mind break for just a second and then seeing your face when your brain makes the connections.
Thank you for the break down. I didn’t get all of the references before and now I appreciate this song more.
I'm surprised no one caught it, the hand washing part, the CDC recommended people wash their hands while singing happy birthday as that song , when you sing it twice, is exactly the amount of time required to completely clean your hands. another thing that i might be wrong about, but a bare pole? checking his hair?..just a guess on that one though
I was about to say something on the handwashing part, where you need to sing happy birthday.
me too, very surprised. the 20 second happy Birthday song rinses off the rona.
I caught that one, and just like all of us, Em doesn't have time for that sh*t! Lol
Only 1 reactor I've seen caught the happy bday skit, they must not pay attention to the news.
That skit does one more thing: it addresses people who don't follow the COVID guidelines set by the CDC. He doesn't sing the whole Happy Birthday song, he ends early and says "shhhh", like people want to act like they follow but don't want tell anyone that they actually don't. This skit is 🔥
The instrumental is the “theme music” from “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,” Hitchcock’s television series about murder! Hence, the track is called “Alfred’s theme” Lol.
Hey KnoxHill, when your doing these breakdowns its great because i actually get so much more out the songs that i miss. Your own music flows very genuine i definitely am down with your lyrics. keep rocking the break downs and bring us new knoxhill music. Thank you
Don't know if anyone posted something similar but like 7min in talking about the cyclops and the only "one eye".. got - you're breaking it down and there's a MASSIVE "one eye" right behind you on the wall.. just gave me a good chuckle 🤣🤣🤣 love your stuff
“Stomach in knots like you swallowed rope” Rope is a movie by Alfred Hitchcock. It’s about murdering people with no motive, just for the experience.
Thank you I didn't catch that.
Dayum son, that's a good catch! 👍🏿
Eminem : barely says a letter
Knox : Breaks down bar
😂
Your knowledge of so many different subjects always impresses me very much. Love all your content. Beast!
I have listened to at least a dozen of these and i swear this has been the best one yet. Keep up the good work Knox
Knox Hill is, by far, the best bar breakdown channel. I have a newfound respect for Eminem now after watching these videos. I never knew how masterful a wordsmith Eminem was until I saw these videos.
And Knox catches 98% of the bars.......most other reactors....75% @ best!!!
@@psychrn4796 75% is being generous. Most of them just listen to the video and freak out during some parts, but don't actually break down the lyrics. Knox breaks down every single bar so you know just how amazing the lyrics are. That's why I like his bar breakdown channel the most.
He catches shit dat juz fly's over our heads!!! Dis cat is sharp! Da man. Got bars, & flows also
"bitch it's 2020,
you still ain't seeing me", this could also be taken as saying that you can't see each other in person due to the lockdown because of covid.
damn... more bar i missed lol
I was thinking this but didn't say anything 🤣
Wtf if Em didn't think of that while writing this bar then fair play because that's a BARR
Oh yeah!! That's a smart one
@@shino190 ?
Hey knox, i just rewatched Lord jamar's reaction to eminem's i will song and he's reaction to em saying you'd be cleaning sinks and stuff was 'yeah we clean our house ' and stuff and jamar also said cleanliness is next to godliness and stuff and he said em's brain was filthy.. So i think the line " If cleanliness is next to godliness then it's obvious that impossible for me to be beside myself"was a response to that
Em is just crazy 😧😧😧 the cut scheme was just crazy and the phenomenal to themometer wordplay,Knox we appreciate your breakdowns 🙏🙏🙏🐐🐐🐐
Knox honestly just needs to meet Em already and make a song with him😂☝🏼🙌🏼
Thank U! Great minds think (ink) alike!🎓💣🔥
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Lets start a trend, my friend? #Don't Knox/EM? Knox/EM Dead? Or (K) Hill/ EM? IDK, juz. Sprayingl every wild fire. Needz a spark!Lol But first letr get MTBMB 2 #1 ON BILLBOARD send u link
Agreed
50 mins? Time to get some popcorn because is gonna be next level, Em's level of detail. Great work Knox as always, keep them up
You’re a wonderful breakdown artist. We love you 😘
Absolutely favorite parts:
41:49 the very thorough explanation of what "pee on your head" means in the most literal sense. Thanks Knox, I would have missed it for sure otherwise.
45:09 the concentration and seriousness on his face while saying "he's got nuts bigger than Jabba the Hutt". Like a professional critic appreciating an immaculate piece of art in the Louvre.
48:32 the audio glitch that decides to repeat the perfect word to, probably, illustrate what is going through Knox's head as he's 48 minutes into a 5 minute song
Only people that watched the whole 50:24 mins can like this 🔥
Respect to that 🙌
Haven’t yet but going to.
Twice.
I’ve been sitting on this one for a minute cause no one has got it yet, and I don’t think it’s a stretch…
You’re always pump kin (babies/semen) (punkin) (pumpkin) out like hollow ween (empty wiener) (halloween), opt to flea (like a gnat)(flee responsibility for your kin) you need to stop it punk, homie you’re GNAT a G (NOT) (not G for abandoning your child)
If he shot a family tree (had kids), he wouldn’t pop (father) the trunk (the family tree)
@@phildo666 holy shit
Pc just dropped a bomb!!
🧠 💣
The hand washing cut is a reference to Covid, where the recommended time of washing your hands is around 21 seconds, or for kids they asked them to sing "happy birthday" twice, and thats what he started doing.
Em is a genius, but never forget, he's a fucking fool also lmao
also releasing the album on billie eilish's birthday so hes also wishing her a happy birthday lol
Also also em mentions about being childish shortly after. Billie eilish said she prefers childish gambino rather than em cos em scares her lol
When he sings happy birthday hes actually peeing on his hands if u listen
"Idiotic Savant"
You sir have inspired me to break down bars on UA-cam. I appreciate you and your hard work. You Stevie Shaq, doc, blitz, simba, all of you are super inspiring. Keep.doing what you're doing. P.S em is the goat.
I’m so glad I found this channel. No others can compare. Thank you sir
Yooo, genius missed 1 bar I cought. He said"happy birthday" to billie eilish cuz her birthday was the same day the album comes out and then he continued addressing the situation but how genius is this,he just knew it.he is trying to keep everthing positive
Ye but fair enough to him , he can’t be a fan of everyone Eminem fires shots at/references/shouts out
99/100
Also because you are supposed to sing happy birthday when you wash your hands, because it is recommended you wash them for 20 seconds.
Also the sour grapes is actually a documentary on Netflix. Hbday 2x while washing hands, a punk bring heat firework bar (punk that actually lights the wick)
also also , he made a huge birthday scheme there , since he also said "im fulfilling my wish", i mean its not big but damn he's a god
You missed this:
"To treating it like a cyclops,
Like it's the only one I've... got..."
He matched his pitch to "Not Throwing Away My Shot" in the Hamilton musical, while paying respects to the lyrical acumen of the song itself. Same exact pitch. Shit was a quadruple entendre. Next, next, next level.
1 year later. No he didn't miss the "only one eye got. He talked about it four a minute and a half
@@tjpowell234 read the comment again
Also, 1 eye could also reference a cock as well.
Ohhh I have to check that throwing away my shot line, I missed it, I love Hamilton
Crazy part is Lin-Manuel gave Eminem credit for being one of his influences while writing the show.
I dont comment typically but I have to tell you, you're the best reactor, everyone else misses so many bars! Shit, you bring light to so much shit id miss if I heard the song 100 times.
The beat is Alfred's hence the name and is a original instrumental from Hitchcock's album. This track has A LOT of Alfred references, its like a dedication to honor his work.
If we played that drinking game Knox, you would loss your entire audience to alcohol poisoning.
20 minutes in😂
I passed out by 15 minutes
😂 😂 😂 🥃
I cnt believe i spend my 50min of my life on this! Worth it!
Dude I cried watching this, I mean really cried laughing, it feels good to kno I'm not alone, real Marshall fan here Knox. Keep it up..
