What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the hat I'm wearing grab your limited edition now 🤟www.knoxhillmusic.com/shop/chaos-kh-flex-fit-hat
Tom had a live-stream Q&A on Saturday about the video. He talked about how when they were shooting the motorcycle/bike scenes, a cop rolled up on them. He was afraid he was about to get busted but the cop turned out to be a fan and asked for a selfie. Then watched over them to help deal with traffic so they could finish the shoot. Very cool story. HOG is everywhere.
Tom inspired me to become sober , haven’t touched weed or alcohol in a week and damn it’s so hard .. but I am just thinking about my health and my future health .
Congratulations brother. It is hard but one day at a time, literally. It always sounded stupid to me when I had family or friends with the serenity prayer or saying one day at a time but it's true and works. Almost 20 years sober from alcohol and 16 from my illegal drug of choice. Keep fighting as I know if I relapse, I won't survive, literally. I should have died while using the amounts I did. Now we need or I need to find my purpose as I still struggle. Not with being sober so much but being in social purgatory and the demons that come with that all because of who I WAS. Not who I am. Good luck , the struggle is real but you can beat it.
It's hard but man...looking back I ain't ever done something more important. Life changes drastically dawg and muh worst days now are better than my best days then. 1month shy of 8 years and I couldn't make it 24 hrs... until I could! Yu got this💪💪
yeah had an argument over that the other day with an American. As a Canadian myself, I had to remind the American that he didnt live in a "democracy" but rather a republic. Fireworks soon ensued. Fun times.
@@The_Zilli Yeah, it’s major issue with our public indoctrination centers that they push as schools. Civics (lack of), the neutering of history, proper spelling and grammar, mathematics all have been watered down, removed, and/or altered and the cancerous social agendas are taking their place.
@@The_ZilliWell the whole Democracy thing is the establishment, including the main stream media, dumbing people down so they think that the United States is a Democracy instead of a Constitutional Republic. Actually listen to what Democrats, the MSM, and others say. They always say "Democracy" not Republic.
America is the place to go for opportunity and change. People hating on him for being Canadian and succeeding here, that's a perfect example of what America stood for. Love Tom!
Right. I was in the comments on upchurchs BS and people were actually hating on Tom because Upchurch says he isn't an American. What's wrong with people that they got to hate on people for that. He immigrated here like everyone else did in the beginning and done it legally, unlike the shit show we have now. Upchurch just spreading hate for click's. And he knows what he's doing. There is a video of Upchurch 5yrs ago talking about people hating on Tom and says Tom comes out ahead because of it, because their hate got him click's. I figured that out before Knox said that. But Upchurch was desperate for attention, apparently to sell his new band. And new music that he says is gonna be different.
Lots of well-deserved flexes in this video, but the biggest flex of all is providing for your family. I love this. Mad props to Tom and his family who molded him!!
The whole family portrait verse is a huge slam to Upchurch. Upchurch doesn't have family support. His father isn't around and he had to sue his own mother because she was stealing from him.
@@betsybabf748 and that's cool? how is that a flex? so he showed all his family and that is a huge blow or angle to diss upchurch ? that can be dissing 95 percent of america. he should be praying for upchurch during that part i mean the song name is GOD MODE.don't think they'e christian either.. neither of them are religious. he didn't even say upchuch. he made no mention of the name. only knox hill did. the only person he dissed in this song is mac lethal AGAIN. telling us all his personal business. if that is a flex on upchurch having no family then how can he be sorry about getting mac lethal divorced ? LOL the boy is SCARED in hip hop world. there's nothing political he can say towards upchurch to diss him. upchurch schooled him. 3-0. The only people who say this is a response don't have any clue what the fuk hip hop is or only listen to tom mcdonald or is bias. cuz everyone was sad and mad blaming this on "clout chasing" so now that you found out it's not "clout chasing" then now it's "oh tom doesn't need to do anything" cuz all his fucking non hip hop fans are braindead when it comes to hip hop. YOU LOSE YOUR POSITION WHEN YOU DON'T respond. even eminem still puts his entire reputation on the line to battle these dudes. he doesn't have to but that's why eminem is the goat. that's why even tom and adam praise eminem. because he does that. tom can't do that. his fans can't get over the fact he lost 3 rap battles (no contest, no show) if khabig called out connor and connor opt out 3 times...then come back and fights everyone but khabib...what does that tell you? exactly. you tom macdonald fans need to accept hip hop to judge his decisions because or just shut up and talk about politics because hip hop has a culture that battle rap is where you are humbled. it's the UFC, the underground fighting ring, the ultimate street fight. Tom is doing the ronda rousey WWE after the headkick. she got kicked out with. avoiding reality. Immortal Technique is the first person to start this political crap but he went worldwide and made an album spanish/ english even. his shit was world politics mixed with on ground repetition of experience with actual warriors and emcees with skills where you had to battle even on the spot, too. or people wouldn't even take you serious. now you can just let people talk so much that people will forget it. nah, not in hip hop. (i type 120wpm (per 3 minute) this took legitimate ten minutes. someone needs to explain hip hop to people since this is a hip hop channel, supposedly.
Yep. In the lyrics and the sound. Always pointing out the subtle sounds and details that make it complete but people overlook. I definitely don't hear the background sounds until he mentions them
Ive lived some of the hard times Tom has struggled through, but his success has offered this homeless veteran a hope i never expected. Hes worthy of his success and respect.
You still homeless my brother? Where are you? We don't allow our brothers and sisters to struggle like that, let's get you off that street. I'll need some information, what caused this, do you have substance abuse issues, mental health issues etc. Don't feel shame if you do have those issues, I did for sure, I had and still have issues , hut I got help and changed my life, learned how to live with my issues and not ruin my life. I'm not sire what branch, when you served or where, but us war vets came home to people spitting on us, kids who watched their friends die and killed, broken and no one was there, so mental health issues, drugs or whatever is common and nothing to be ashamed of, not having issues with what we've been through would be more concerning , it means your human. Reach out brother, let's get you back to us.
@@beentheredonethat5908 I was blessed to be taken in by a high school friend. I so much appreciate the offer. I am on track to normalcy, hopefully soon I will have all the IDs I lost to theft during my seven years on the street, and not long afterward I will find employment.
I am probably THE most unexpected fan of anything even remotely close to rap music, my background, my age, my heritage, ethnicity, would be a juxtaposition. Yet here I am. A 63 yo female, Mexican born. I've heard many of Tom's, I can't bring myself to call them songs. Music in any form, written word or simply melody, are messages, and we all receive them and process them differently, through, and according to our individually formed life experience filters. Tom's words resonate with many experiences I've lived through, and witnessed, and all the emotions revealed by them within me, and the scars, and marks they've left as reminders. Many of those "messages" have touched chords in my being that have brought me to tears because they feel familiar. I hope he doesn't change, or allow anyone, or anything to disrupt that which is flowing through him, for the sake of anyone else. He has a God given talent for words, sound and meaning. How anyone else receives those is not up to him, nor his responsibility. That is up to the individual receiving them.
I really hope you have all been doing the begging politely lol. Dad Mode is more important than God Mode. And we be in HOG mode and can hardly wait for KNOX Mode to show up and know what a constitutional republic is. Plus a awesome break down of Thomas!
@@Markerman_642yea I didn’t realize he was in dad mode at the time, but I just asked him nicely once in a video he broke down yesterday. As the dad of a young boy myself, dad mode is the most important job/mode any man will ever have.
My favorite part about the Max Lethal bit is that his words and cadence ('no more', 'carrying a corpse', etc) mimic / homage his own cadence in the dis tracks. Such fun bars
@@Aquarius003 I don't agree. #HOG That isn't how we referred to it in main chat. Thanks for the attempt at educating me. The lives on UA-cam are packed with questions- He answered them all in a fraction of the 8 minutes. The negativity isn't worth anymore than that.
Tom macdonald is the biggest motivational person ive ever discovered and ever since i started listening to him a year ago i have been working hard to make my life better against all odds thrown my way. Even with my physical and mental disabilities and illness im working hard to better myself and my life.
I can summon 4 songs to my mind immediately , but I know he has more. And Fighter comes to mind as general motivation. Was it a reach out like Angels? Or something focused on the addiction side like Withdrawals or I Don't Drink?
I liked this whole reaction, it was on point, but the most impressive thing that caught me by surprised is when you said we live in a Constitutional republic. So many people are lazy and just say we live in a Democracy which really is not the case. Sure we have similar things as a Democracy, but we are a Constitutional Republic first and foremost. Good on you bro! Wish politicians would actually say that more.
MAAAAN!!!!!! This reaction was as much of a banger as the song itself!!!! Honestly though man, your ability to break down songs and analyze them, both from a lyrical aspect AND the musical is amazing!!! You have a gift man!!! I see others reactions to this song and they are like, 12 minutes... HOW THE HECK CAN YOU ACTUALLY ANALYZE AN 8 MIN SONG IN 12 MIN WHILE ALSO HAVING AN INTRO AND OUTRO!!!!!???? One more reason I love your reactions. you ACTUALLY analyze and break down the song, its lyrics, the rhyme skims, the melody, even the video!!! You put in that extra effort, that extra context that a lot of people miss!!! You don't just LISTEN to the song and then say how GOOOOOOD and "OMG!!! THAT WAS A BANGER" and "WTF!!! TOM DID IT AGAIN"!!! and just jump out of your chair all dramatic.... like, I and sooooooo many more said, you ACTUALLY analyze it in the most perfect way!!!!! Thank you for that man!!!!! Also, love the fact that you put family first!!! Take those days off. Go on those family trips. It is the MOST important thing!!!!!! Keep it up! cant wait to get more reactions AND more of your music, cause THATS also HOT FIRE!!!!!
This is another Epic Tom song, it goes hard and gets better every time you hear it. But also I just want to thank you for putting me on to that absolute Banger of yours in the intro. You did your thing on that one!! 💪
YOU sir are the reactor people sit at the edge of their seats, waiting for you to release what they’re fiending for. NO reactor compares to you!!! You’re truly are the best one out there!!! You don’t miss anything and you go into the greatest details, that I’m sure even the artist themselves are surprised you caught! 👏🏼👏🏼
The reason why Tom is so successful, is he understands how the game is played, and knows it's attacks, and how to deflect them, Tom knows this career path, works like a battery, and a battery doesn't work, unless you have the positive AND the negative, but he's so good at taking he negative and making it a positive, Bro, Knox, keep up the good work, this was the main reaction I been waiting for, only other one im waiting for is Nick the Actor. Y'all are good at what you do, we support you, much love from HoG. Love you Knox, love you Tom, LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
Always love your reaction! Your comment earlier on about your channel having both liberal and conservative perspective reactions and inspiring healthy conversations between all sides; I am a veteran, that statement is exactly why I joined the military and what I served for. Keep bringing people together Knox!!!
Amén. That also spoke to me as I see the lack of that as a big contribution to the chaotic decline we're experiencing. And, quite importantly, thank you for your choice to serve! And, thank you to the folks, friends and family, who support you!
Knox Hill, you'll never know how truly grateful I am for your breakdown videos because they never fail!! This song now makes me cry tears of hope after hearing your analysis. Freaking love you and Tom so much, brother, God bless and keep wrecking the industry!!
Been waiting for this reaction. Glad you prioritize family time. You'll never regret that jus glad you made the time to do this. Love your new tracks as well. 🙏 for your success.
Hands down _THE_ absolute *best* reaction to #GodMode I've seen yet. Much love and praise to you, Knox. 🙏🏻💚 You don't hesitate to give credit where credit is due, which speaks _volumes_ about you, your confidence, your candor, and your *CHARACTER.*
The family portrait is sort of a slam to Upchurch too. He doesn't have the family like Tom does. Ryan had to sue his own mother when she was stealing from him.
Met his mom. She’s fake as anything. And him and his band. The band is way better to talk with than him. And that squeaky voice girlfriend of his (couldn’t stand her voice!) should just be quiet so no one has to hear that noise.
Isn't it sad though? I know, too well, how it messes with you when family is your worst enemy, when the people you should be able to trust more than anyone else, are the ones stabbing you in the back. Combine that stress with some recreational indulgences and it can't help but implode. Unfortunately, when you're an artist, or celebrity of any sort, the inevitable disaster becomes public info and entertainment. Don't get me wrong. I love Tom and am disappointed in Church. But, I can understand the situation. Pray for intervention and recovery of sanity for Ryan.
Watch the video of Tom and Nova watching God Mode, Tom clearly says he is never doing another dis track. His music is to lift people UP, not tear them down.
@KnoxHill, I had no idea that this was a "No Response" type of song..but I did not watch anyone do it til now either, and I'm glad I waited for you to! This is not wrong in any sense!!!❤
Finally, I have been waiting for this reaction! Ty for an another nice reaction from you as always. Keep up the good work Knox. Now I need to listen to that song you played at the beginning I must have missed that one.
you give the most comprehensive breakdowns on YT. i can't believe you missed this at the end of the video,... he who laughs last, laughs best. Respect.
Your breakdowns help me truly understand how great of a rapper Tom truly is. You are amazing at your breakdowns. Tom is my favorite artist and I know he gives props to Nova because she has helped navigate so much of the rap game and the videos are always a 10/10. Nova is also the GOAT!!!
Was waiting for this one. Thanks for all your hard work Knox hope you enjoyed the fam time. This song goes hard, Nova killed the video. I also copped a hat ❤
Always wait to watch your reaction after I've heard the song a few times. You will point out so many things that I miss. It gives me a deeper appreciation for the production. Thank you for the detail that you put into these. Love your channel!❤
And once again.. Tom leaves it on a grateful note.. a shout out to the fans. Honestly i tend to not like his more " ego driven" like Dont Look Down.. the aggression is a nail on a chalkboard.. But this one... It was different. It was ego..but reminded me of a friend of mine.. who says things to inspire but calls out anyones excuses and b.s at the same time. No failure unless you make excuses or quit.
Can’t believe I missed your reaction. I stayed watching every reaction the first 48 hours after the song dropped and was waiting for you. So glad that you got that time in with your family. Nothing is more important. Thank you for another great breakdown and review as always.
Well we appreciate you!! Thank you for taking the time to react and break down every aspect of the songs you react to. Without judgment as well. We need more of that 💯✊🏼
Tom is Boss, thanks Knox for the input your insight is always appreciated. if people are hating in the comments, then I'll tip the scale and be positive. 😃
Whoa I really appreciate you breaking down what Tom is trying to say through the video, cause I would have never caught some of this stuff - like the shot where he had Logic pulled up, etc. just found your channel and subscribed. Thank you sir!
Him showcasing his family in his song like he did is also a diss towards church because church has family issues and couldn’t afford for his mom and others a house even though they did it underhanded
I do not like much rap or hip hop music, being a metalhead at heart, but this song is one of the few I can stomach these days from new songs being released, it is real, raw and from the heart! Heed Tom's advice people, it is legit!! I am independent and do not have the time with a full time job, small business plus doing my band stuff to do much else but I still do it, I am still a nobody nowhere doing nothing because of the machine, but I will not give up! My music is on all streaming apps if you wanna check it out. I play the instruments, record them myself, edit, mix, master then upload and the rest alone. I have had a few past bandmates I auditioned in several of the songs but overall I am the one doing the bulk of the heavy lifting even when I have others in my band. Tom's telling the truth when they stopped allowing anyone to see the Billboard charts - after his song 'FACTS' came out!!! lol
I appreciate this reaction almost as much as the song. That's high praise - talent and artistry and opinion and knowledge - it's a powerful formula. ... A Tom and Knox collab is calling...
Had to pause the vid to get my hat!!! SOOO glad they are back in stock for a limited time!!! And I still have the signed poster you sent me like 3yrs ago!!!
Best breakdown of this song, bar none... A hole in one's tha only time i'm sub-par, son/ the eagle with tha ace, the phoenix of tha par 6/ deagle in your face/ barbecuin' your carcass/ with wits sharp lika shark's fins/ you fish can't swim my ocean, it's too dark/ there's no ark where this shark swims/ my arc bends, only to spark the light where this art blends...with life/ an archer with a mic, i'll launch an arrow at a titan/ i'll split the air like cherubims harpin'/ with women beside me playin' violins/ i'm sendin' lightnin' at these leviathans/ who thinks they can meet love with violence, please...silence. (Freestyle by: Hermes the Observer)
Hey knox, when ever new music from church, tom and Acal comes out, you, simba, crypt, and 2LM are the 4 reaction channels I wait to watch your vids on them. No one breaks down the bars better then you do.
Why bother hating? Switch the fucking channel, why waste energy, I just don't get it. Love you for being a great rapper in your own right and an unparalleled GOAT breakdown professor. Thank you for all you've done to help me better understand and appreciate rap music. I'm old time rocker, punk,and tribal ambient music lover 🎉🎉🎉
That was insane... tom out did himself on that one. I loved it and i think its awesome where he was and where he is now. Props to him for not giving up on his dream and changing his life around. Praying for tom and his family❤❤🎉🎉
I think it takes huge balls and maturity to decide to not murk any other artists knowing that he could do it and it would increase his popularity. Tom is so inteligent and mentally aware that fucking another human beings life, even tho he could consider them his enemies, doesnt bring him any joy. Respect from me at least for the emocional maturity has well. Its like he's saying I can go there i just really dont want to buddie xD He still murking them but i think this even more badass. Murking without name dropping.
I have been waiting for your breakdown all week Knox! NO ONE breaks these Barz and songs down like you do Knox! I learn and catch so much because of your breakdowns! You are the Tom MacDonald of music reactions! Thanks for the hard work you put into your music and reaction videos.
What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the hat I'm wearing grab your limited edition now 🤟www.knoxhillmusic.com/shop/chaos-kh-flex-fit-hat
Trae The Truth in Ibiza - J. Cole (before he deletes it)
New MGK Album or video from today? Got a bit sick of the latest disses.
Knox, please react to JamWayne - No Problems or Ready w/ACAL
Bro you gotta do the second diss upchurch made! Also would be badass if you coukd do a live of the bluegenes 2 album.
I just discovered Glorilla, you should check her out.
Showing his family and what he has done or doing for them is the mic drop on everyone! Family over everything.

@@GCharlesE no helmet for starters. Cool story though.
He wasn’t on a motorcycle, it looked like an e bike
Still gotta wear helmet though...
Calling us a constitutional republic is big props to you man. A lot of people don’t understand that we aren’t a straight up democracy….
Amen, that wowed me too
We are now. Nobody cares about the constitution lol
Exactly!!
MAGA 🇺🇸 🇺🇲
I thought the exact same thing. he got my sub from that one
Knox literally doesn’t even need to give us an excuse of why he’s been gone, dude grinds so hard, he deserves everything here bro.
Tom inspired me to become sober , haven’t touched weed or alcohol in a week and damn it’s so hard .. but I am just thinking about my health and my future health .
You got this 💪

Thank Nova for the backgrounds and production!!! She's amazing! ❤❤❤
She is so amazing she needs more recognition! ❤
For me one of the biggest flex's you can spit, is "I retired my parents", that one shows how big you are as a artist and as a person.
The whole family portrait verse is a huge slam to Upchurch. Upchurch doesn't have family support. His father isn't around and he had to sue his own mother because she was stealing from him.

Funny I was too. I just kept looking for his.
I really hope you have all been doing the begging politely lol. Dad Mode is more important than God Mode. And we be in HOG mode and can hardly wait for KNOX Mode to show up and know what a constitutional republic is. Plus a awesome break down of Thomas!
@@Markerman_642yea I didn’t realize he was in dad mode at the time, but I just asked him nicely once in a video he broke down yesterday. As the dad of a young boy myself, dad mode is the most important job/mode any man will ever have.
My favorite part about the Max Lethal bit is that his words and cadence ('no more', 'carrying a corpse', etc) mimic / homage his own cadence in the dis tracks. Such fun bars
I’m happy I’m not the only one who noticed that!
Wouldn't this be better described as an ANSWER SONG? No names - talks about his success. His background, adds true facts. #hog PROUD member
It also plays back to when tom said "it's like I'm kicking your corpse with shoes you can't afford, I feel horrible doin you like this"
@@Gonegirls12The comment isn't calling God Mode a diss track, but rather that it has throwbacks to the original Mac Lethal diss tracks.
@@Aquarius003 I don't agree. #HOG
That isn't how we referred to it in main chat. Thanks for the attempt at educating me. The lives on UA-cam are packed with questions- He answered them all in a fraction of the 8 minutes. The negativity isn't worth anymore than that.
Tom macdonald is the biggest motivational person ive ever discovered and ever since i started listening to him a year ago i have been working hard to make my life better against all odds thrown my way. Even with my physical and mental disabilities and illness im working hard to better myself and my life.
If you haven’t listened to Ren, maybe give him a try too.. so uplifting especially with physical and mental illness x I’m a huge fan of Tom and Ren xx
@helenbicknell6659 will do thank you.
100% agreed. Two of my biggest listens are tom and ren.
May Creator Bless and Guide You Mita Kola 🤶🏽✌🏾🍃🦬🍃
Do you have Renegade and the Revolution? So worth the money. Those two cds literally saved my life last year.
I accidentally found one of Tom's songs... and he truly helped me to be CLEAN & stay CLEAN... I LOVE "GOD MODE"!❤😊
That’s so amazing! Great job! You got this! #HOG4life
I can summon 4 songs to my mind immediately , but I know he has more. And Fighter comes to mind as general motivation. Was it a reach out like Angels? Or something focused on the addiction side like Withdrawals or I Don't Drink?
Was it "Sober"??
I started out with alcohol but herion was my drug of choice
I liked this whole reaction, it was on point, but the most impressive thing that caught me by surprised is when you said we live in a Constitutional republic. So many people are lazy and just say we live in a Democracy which really is not the case. Sure we have similar things as a Democracy, but we are a Constitutional Republic first and foremost. Good on you bro! Wish politicians would actually say that more.
And folks really don't want a full on democracy, else Caligula's horse will be president 😉
Our forefathers were absolutely against this country being a Democratic nation. They knew it would ruin what they were trying to attain
@@TheeAmethystEmpress6589 Exactly, democracy is two lions and a gazelle voting on what's for dinner.
A Republic IS a democracy. There's nothing inaccurate about calling America a democracy.
@@cl2eep_rides We're a Constitutional Republic, that's not unimportant, so don't omit it.
MAAAAN!!!!!! This reaction was as much of a banger as the song itself!!!!
Honestly though man, your ability to break down songs and analyze them, both from a lyrical aspect AND the musical is amazing!!! You have a gift man!!!
I see others reactions to this song and they are like, 12 minutes... HOW THE HECK CAN YOU ACTUALLY ANALYZE AN 8 MIN SONG IN 12 MIN WHILE ALSO HAVING AN INTRO AND OUTRO!!!!!???? One more reason I love your reactions. you ACTUALLY analyze and break down the song, its lyrics, the rhyme skims, the melody, even the video!!! You put in that extra effort, that extra context that a lot of people miss!!! You don't just LISTEN to the song and then say how GOOOOOOD and "OMG!!! THAT WAS A BANGER" and "WTF!!! TOM DID IT AGAIN"!!! and just jump out of your chair all dramatic....
like, I and sooooooo many more said, you ACTUALLY analyze it in the most perfect way!!!!!
Thank you for that man!!!!!
Also, love the fact that you put family first!!! Take those days off. Go on those family trips. It is the MOST important thing!!!!!!
Keep it up! cant wait to get more reactions AND more of your music, cause THATS also HOT FIRE!!!!!
Exactly this, Knox Hill is the master of breaking down raps.
BTW, that Billboard #1 was for Ghost, what an insiders joke!
I also heard him say on Nova's cast, he cut two minutes out of this song. LOL
He should’ve gone all out 10 mins worth of 🔥
And He had the 10 Version Done in January!
This is another Epic Tom song, it goes hard and gets better every time you hear it.
But also I just want to thank you for putting me on to that absolute Banger of yours in the intro. You did your thing on that one!! 💪
YOU sir are the reactor people sit at the edge of their seats, waiting for you to release what they’re fiending for. NO reactor compares to you!!! You’re truly are the best one out there!!! You don’t miss anything and you go into the greatest details, that I’m sure even the artist themselves are surprised you caught! 👏🏼👏🏼
Glad you had time with fam. Been waiting on you. This is 🔥 Tom. #HOG
🙏🙏
I'd like to see Knox and Tom sit down and have a conversation.
I would like to see the 2 of them. Make a video together
Yesssss! 100!
That would be amazing.
ya'll forgot to add the no homo all of you!!!
The reason why Tom is so successful, is he understands how the game is played, and knows it's attacks, and how to deflect them, Tom knows this career path, works like a battery, and a battery doesn't work, unless you have the positive AND the negative, but he's so good at taking he negative and making it a positive, Bro, Knox, keep up the good work, this was the main reaction I been waiting for, only other one im waiting for is Nick the Actor. Y'all are good at what you do, we support you, much love from HoG. Love you Knox, love you Tom, LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
Always love your reaction! Your comment earlier on about your channel having both liberal and conservative perspective reactions and inspiring healthy conversations between all sides; I am a veteran, that statement is exactly why I joined the military and what I served for. Keep bringing people together Knox!!!
Amén.
That also spoke to me as I see the lack of that as a big contribution to the chaotic decline we're experiencing.
And, quite importantly, thank you for your choice to serve! And, thank you to the folks, friends and family, who support you!
*Thank you for your service* @thekidba 🫡 🇺🇸
Knox Hill, you'll never know how truly grateful I am for your breakdown videos because they never fail!! This song now makes me cry tears of hope after hearing your analysis. Freaking love you and Tom so much, brother, God bless and keep wrecking the industry!!
God mode
Beast mode
Good vs evil
So many in the beast's kingdom can't comprehend that message.
Definitely picked up on that
hah 💯
Yes
Been waiting for this. Others have reacted, but they don't break shit down like you do ❤🤘
He is a leauge of his own
@@mysunsburneraccount2076he sure is in a league of his own!❤
Tom is a beast. I start listen to last year when a fellow battle buddy introduced him to me.
@2:08 You hit the nail on the head! I didn’t realize it until you said it, but it does have that N.F. Cinematic vibe….
Love ya Knox ❤
You gotta make time for your family. We support that.
Been waiting for this reaction. Glad you prioritize family time. You'll never regret that jus glad you made the time to do this. Love your new tracks as well. 🙏 for your success.
Tom this is Genius..... And I'd say a therapeutic really. Keep Proving you can even when they say you can't! Thatssss TUFF! H.O.G fam for Life!!!❤
Hands down _THE_ absolute *best* reaction to #GodMode I've seen yet. Much love and praise to you, Knox. 🙏🏻💚 You don't hesitate to give credit where credit is due, which speaks _volumes_ about you, your confidence, your candor, and your *CHARACTER.*
I GUARANTEE you that he definitely had a migraine and a sore throat after recording this and hell yeah that “so I retired her” damn that’s amazing!!!!
Knox, you don’t how long I’ve been waiting for this reaction! Break them bars down bro!!!!
Best job in the world is being a dad. Agreed. Respect, my friend.
Love your reactions Knox! I'm a fan of Tom, and his family support is everything 💙💯
Great reaction Knox Hill! Tom dissed without dissing. Fighting without fighting.
Wasn't it Bruce Lee who said, "to learn the art of fighting without fighting" or something to that effect?
@@MommaOsoIrish67 sounds about right.
That's called passive aggression.
And it's a bitch move
H.O.G is huge. People underestimate the power of Tom's fans.
The family portrait is sort of a slam to Upchurch too. He doesn't have the family like Tom does. Ryan had to sue his own mother when she was stealing from him.
Met his mom. She’s fake as anything. And him and his band. The band is way better to talk with than him. And that squeaky voice girlfriend of his (couldn’t stand her voice!) should just be quiet so no one has to hear that noise.
@@rebel__999Hey youuuuu! Agreed lol
Isn't it sad though? I know, too well, how it messes with you when family is your worst enemy, when the people you should be able to trust more than anyone else, are the ones stabbing you in the back. Combine that stress with some recreational indulgences and it can't help but implode. Unfortunately, when you're an artist, or celebrity of any sort, the inevitable disaster becomes public info and entertainment.
Don't get me wrong. I love Tom and am disappointed in Church. But, I can understand the situation. Pray for intervention and recovery of sanity for Ryan.
Keep up the good work, I'm really enjoying your breakdowns. It's given me a new appreciation for rap music in general.
Tom is the only rapper I know who can literally rip someone apart in a dis and never even mention them.
LOL!
😂😂😂😂
Watch the video of Tom and Nova watching God Mode, Tom clearly says he is never doing another dis track. His music is to lift people UP, not tear them down.
Too funny!
You don’t listen to rap much then do you?
The beauty of his career is that he can literally make whatever he wants, whatever he feels like.
You're like a professor teaching me the science of rap. Who knew there was so much to this genre?! Thanks for sharing your expertise! ❤
Damn Knox your Intro song hit hard AF with I'm "tired of being A Middle Man" ! Got Me heated and broke me at the same time !
Serious man I have been waiting for this and yes you do you and keep the family happy it's time for the best breakdown on UA-cam.
Ooo I just got home from work pulled up UA-cam and you good sir have delivered yet again been waiting on this one thankyou knoxy!!🔥🔥
@KnoxHill, I had no idea that this was a "No Response" type of song..but I did not watch anyone do it til now either, and I'm glad I waited for you to! This is not wrong in any sense!!!❤
Great analysis as ever Knox. Another blinder from Tom ~ & so full of truth & meaning! 👍🦁
To me, the hardest diss in this whole thing is that family picture that is unattainable for Edward…
I did not catch that. The truth cuts the deepest.
Damn dude...... that's tuff. I never would have made that connection.
Who’s Edward?
@@Ooofaa-Maa Looks like that's Upchurch's real last name...
Exactly
Finally, I have been waiting for this reaction! Ty for an another nice reaction from you as always. Keep up the good work Knox. Now I need to listen to that song you played at the beginning I must have missed that one.
In my opinion Knox, you are the best at breakdowns!!!!!!! Your own music has improved by leaps & bounds as well!!!!! Much Love Knox
Great breakdown. At 78, I need it my brain just can't run at that speed anymore. The producer/director of this video deserves some high props!
your breakdowns are always the best i love watching your videos - keep it up i wish you all the best
you give the most comprehensive breakdowns on YT. i can't believe you missed this at the end of the video,... he who laughs last, laughs best. Respect.
Been waiting on you but you have the perfect reason why you are getting to in now! Great reaction as always #HOG
Man, Nova is so talented. Not to take away from his own talent, but must be said. Love Tom
Your breakdowns help me truly understand how great of a rapper Tom truly is. You are amazing at your breakdowns. Tom is my favorite artist and I know he gives props to Nova because she has helped navigate so much of the rap game and the videos are always a 10/10. Nova is also the GOAT!!!
Omg I’ve been waiting on your reaction!!! Yay!!! Love ya Knox!!!💯
He poured his heart and soul into that one. 🔥
Love your breakdowns and you, Professor! ✌️🫶❤️
lol I thought I was the only one who called him that let’s get that name goin
@arbuckleworkshop9857 Agreed! lol He's the RAP Professor 😂 much love ✌️🫶
Was waiting for this one. Thanks for all your hard work Knox hope you enjoyed the fam time. This song goes hard, Nova killed the video. I also copped a hat ❤
Always wait to watch your reaction after I've heard the song a few times. You will point out so many things that I miss. It gives me a deeper appreciation for the production. Thank you for the detail that you put into these. Love your channel!❤
Tom went IN on this ! Knox always the best breakdown expert period !
And once again.. Tom leaves it on a grateful note.. a shout out to the fans.
Honestly i tend to not like his more " ego driven" like Dont Look Down.. the aggression is a nail on a chalkboard..
But this one... It was different. It was ego..but reminded me of a friend of mine.. who says things to inspire but calls out anyones excuses and b.s at the same time. No failure unless you make excuses or quit.
Love your reactions bro! Tom is easily one of my favorite artists of all time
Can’t believe I missed your reaction. I stayed watching every reaction the first 48 hours after the song dropped and was waiting for you. So glad that you got that time in with your family. Nothing is more important. Thank you for another great breakdown and review as always.
Well we appreciate you!! Thank you for taking the time to react and break down every aspect of the songs you react to. Without judgment as well. We need more of that 💯✊🏼
13:55 You can hear the Ring notification from Tom's phone going off 😂
Omg you can that's hilarious
That MacPro ultra rack mount computer in the room is where all the magic happens - and that shit ain't cheap @11:13
I dont see a diss..I see an artist putting to rest what Upchurch and everyone else has to say.
Same here
Thanks for the reaction Knox. Every single time, I always run to your reactions. The technical breakdown is unrivaled. Love it, love your work man.
Literally the greatest breakdown artist of our generation: Knox
Best break down in the business as usual. H.O.G. forever.
Best breakdown channel on UA-cam! And on top of that you have phenomenal music❤
Tom is Boss, thanks Knox for the input your insight is always appreciated. if people are hating in the comments, then I'll tip the scale and be positive. 😃
Whoa I really appreciate you breaking down what Tom is trying to say through the video, cause I would have never caught some of this stuff - like the shot where he had Logic pulled up, etc. just found your channel and subscribed. Thank you sir!
Him showcasing his family in his song like he did is also a diss towards church because church has family issues and couldn’t afford for his mom and others a house even though they did it underhanded
Yeahh i was waiting for u to react greetings from germany you are the best knox
Intro jam is straight Fire 🔥
I do not like much rap or hip hop music, being a metalhead at heart, but this song is one of the few I can stomach these days from new songs being released, it is real, raw and from the heart! Heed Tom's advice people, it is legit!! I am independent and do not have the time with a full time job, small business plus doing my band stuff to do much else but I still do it, I am still a nobody nowhere doing nothing because of the machine, but I will not give up! My music is on all streaming apps if you wanna check it out. I play the instruments, record them myself, edit, mix, master then upload and the rest alone. I have had a few past bandmates I auditioned in several of the songs but overall I am the one doing the bulk of the heavy lifting even when I have others in my band. Tom's telling the truth when they stopped allowing anyone to see the Billboard charts - after his song 'FACTS' came out!!! lol
Thanks knox for helping us understand it better ❤
Knox.. been waiting for your breakdown.. love Tom as well as u..amazing..
I appreciate this reaction almost as much as the song. That's high praise - talent and artistry and opinion and knowledge - it's a powerful formula.
... A Tom and Knox collab is calling...
Had to pause the vid to get my hat!!! SOOO glad they are back in stock for a limited time!!! And I still have the signed poster you sent me like 3yrs ago!!!
Best breakdown of this song, bar none...
A hole in one's tha only time i'm sub-par, son/ the eagle with tha ace, the phoenix of tha par 6/ deagle in your face/ barbecuin' your carcass/ with wits sharp lika shark's fins/ you fish can't swim my ocean, it's too dark/ there's no ark where this shark swims/ my arc bends, only to spark the light where this art blends...with life/ an archer with a mic, i'll launch an arrow at a titan/ i'll split the air like cherubims harpin'/ with women beside me playin' violins/ i'm sendin' lightnin' at these leviathans/ who thinks they can meet love with violence, please...silence.
(Freestyle by: Hermes the Observer)
Hey knox, when ever new music from church, tom and Acal comes out, you, simba, crypt, and 2LM are the 4 reaction channels I wait to watch your vids on them. No one breaks down the bars better then you do.
Been watching all the reactions, but this is the one I've really been waiting on...KH=GOAT
Knox screw all the haters you keep doing you! Good reaction!
🙏🙏 Just wait for it. They'll definitely start appearing in the comments and replies on this one
Why bother hating? Switch the fucking channel, why waste energy, I just don't get it. Love you for being a great rapper in your own right and an unparalleled GOAT breakdown professor. Thank you for all you've done to help me better understand and appreciate rap music. I'm old time rocker, punk,and tribal ambient music lover 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much for breaking down and explaining the song knox! 👏🏻👍🏻I could wait for you to break this down. Your the best their is ❤#HOGARMY
That was insane... tom out did himself on that one. I loved it and i think its awesome where he was and where he is now. Props to him for not giving up on his dream and changing his life around. Praying for tom and his family❤❤🎉🎉
I think it takes huge balls and maturity to decide to not murk any other artists knowing that he could do it and it would increase his popularity. Tom is so inteligent and mentally aware that fucking another human beings life, even tho he could consider them his enemies, doesnt bring him any joy. Respect from me at least for the emocional maturity has well.
Its like he's saying I can go there i just really dont want to buddie xD He still murking them but i think this even more badass. Murking without name dropping.
Glad your back hope it was good time bro
Been waiting for this one 🙌
I have been waiting for your breakdown all week Knox! NO ONE breaks these Barz and songs down like you do Knox! I learn and catch so much because of your breakdowns! You are the Tom MacDonald of music reactions! Thanks for the hard work you put into your music and reaction videos.
