What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro check out my "Houdini Remix" now 🤟ua-cam.com/video/ZVLoX_jiv_s/v-deo.htmlsi=jXEZMYukv09Pl9Uc
@knoxHill Out of all the people could you agree on this from breaking everything down?? Album in reverse order I know Em told us it was conceptual and we should be listening to the songs in order, but after listening to the track list in reverse (from last to first) the album changes drastically. The theme of the album does a quick 180, and its almost viewed as the death of Em. Eminem starts off with a heartfelt ballad, then raps about his superiority, about how he's the best. Very in theme for how Eminem has been approaching Rap and his legacy for the last 10 or so years. By the time we get to guilty conscience 2 its Slim beginning to takeover, and "killing" Eminem. From that point onwards its entirely slim right up until we reach Renaissance, which is essentially slim greeting the world with his official return - its posed as a "you know who I am" instead of introducing himself like he did way back when on My name is.
Honestly, as a trans person, Em's got some thoughts that I myself have had. I appreciate his honesty and his persistence in breaking down the complexities of trans visibility and the shifting societal expectations. I read no hate here.
There's no denying that many react channels try to read the bars, but none of them come close to the delivery, accuracy, and history behind them like Knox Hill. A living legend when it comes to lyrical and instrumental breakdown.
i've seen some channels that way over gas simple lyrics and try to sound clever, they sit there trying to make sense of it and just go "man that's smooth, wow that hits hard"
Facts, and he's been doin the real break downs longer than most.. once he came through then it became ..well I was here first .. right but your videos were 3 min.. his never been less than 15 for a song that earned it..
Alot of ppl have voiced that they arent a fan of this song, especially the chorus, but for some reason i get HEAVY late 90s early 2000s vibes from the chorus and intro i fw it
“Trunks with the gold trim” Could also be a reference to Trunks from Dragon Ball Z. After turning Super Saiyan his trim (hair) turns gold. He goes into the And i made it (animated) bar too a few lines after. Dragon Ball Z was on Adult Swim too.
I also think that line sounds like "An A. Blinken do more harm than good" As in Antony Blinken, the current United States secretary of state. A secretary of state could do more harm than good depending on who serves. But it could also just be supposed to sound like Abe Lincoln thus he refers to him in later bars. It might be a reach but you never know with Eminem haha.
He makes some serious observations in this song and in the album generally, I think. I have discovered his music late in life. His provocative outrageousness in itself just makes me laugh, while his verbal pyrotechnics make my brain light up (and hopefully delays the onset of dementia). But it is his capacity to make me (and others as well, I assume) think and feel that really holds my attention.
"Old slim" being rapped in old Slim's voice is really significant to what is going on here, imo, because I think one of the levels on which this album is working is as a serious critique" of satire. Which is what i personally was hoping for. I wasn't an em fan back in the day. When em blew up, i thought "oh boy, more casual puerile misogyny. no thanks, I'm grown and I'm trying to raise my daughter." (I am exactly one week older than Eminem. So I thought he was just immature at the time.) A couple of years ago, I heard "bad guy" and realized I'd been missing something. I dove into his catalog. I now listen to eminem at least 5 times a week, and one of the big appeals to me is exactly that he does so much very smart stuff with satire, with questions of identity and public personae and audience and community, insider/outsider/guest status, who controls the narrative, culture and legacy and artistry. Satire by definition requires a kind of insider/outsider status, or at least the willingness to assume that perspective in order to critique, and that creates two implicit/assumed audiences: a sympathetic one who agrees with the critique, and a hostile or at best skeptical one who is part of whatever is being critiqued. What is so interesting to me here includes em's always- contested status in relation to hip hop culture and available American categories of race and socioeconomic status (and how they do and do not intersect), and what additional nuances are there when you're talking about artistic identity, for one, and about the flagrant failure of systemic structures like "family" and "police," for instance, and the effects of trauma when those putatively protective structures don't just fail but end up being the source/agent of more trauma. I won't go on and on, though I could, and I definitely don't have a thesis or argument or pronouncement - not yet anyway. But this is the kind of incisive stuff that em is capable of and that his artistic personae and body of work and sheer longevity position him to examine in a way that might just be unique. I don't think this has ever been about easy answers. "Fuck it and fuck you too" is a cathartic and satisfying performance, but it is not and never has been a solution. This album just might be about precisely that. In which case a whole lot of people are not going to get it. But that is probably unavoidable considering Em is who and when he is, his work involves heavily satiric elements, and nobody could have predicted we would go from the era of Tipper Gore and the Satanic Panic to an era where *our kids* are the ones doing the moralizing and canceling (generationally speaking - I know a few outsize voices don't fairly represent a whole generation). Still thinking about all of it.
I'm prob a decade or so younger than you and I feel we most likely have a lot of overlapping political views but I was coming of age when Eminem showed up on my MTV TRL. That man gets a large portion of the credit for my living to bring my children into this world. My mom had severe mental health problems and my dad couldn't rock the boat or leve her due to the fact my elder sister wasn't his biological daughter. He was terrified he would lose her. Once my sister graduated high school my father ended up on another continent and I was left alone with my mother. Shit wasn't pretty and it stayed unpretty until my dad got custody when I hit 10th grade. By then I wasn't just depressed and sort of awkward since I went from a economically disadvantaged area to full middle to upper middle class neighborhood, I had lost the outgoing social young child I had been. Em gave me permission to not only be the child I still was he taught me to say I am ME, fuck you if you don't like who ME is, I an going to keep being ME. I had listened to rap before him but he spoke to me on the exact level I needed.......and I saw so much of myself in the struggles of his upbringing that he shared. I never felt he hated all women but it was his outlet to get back at the 2 woman who should have had his back most but let him down so damn severely. Funny how a few years or life experience can make 2 people who most likely ended up in very similar places regarding their world views start in very different places or have such different inspirations.
I want everyone to understand Em 3rd child is Non Binary. I think Knox might actually not know it. To point it out he accepts his child fully. But sorry Ye deserved his canceling. It was his mental health struggles even if he had done all his crazy shit and then come out like damn I'm going to get help...he would have be forgiven by MOST. It's the refusing to even accept you have any sort of problem which can be part of his mental health struggle but we don't have to support and keep giving our money to someone spiraling. Ye will b next celeb dying with a Dr getting arrested.
Growing up listening to rap in the 90s, gotta say Juvenile and all the Hot Boys (except Weezy, of course) don't get enough pub, respect and recognition they deserve. Birdman, Juvenile and many other rappers from the Nolia at that time may not have been super bar-heavy like lyrical rappers today, but no true Hip-Hop head can say they didn't have some FIRE beats and did ALOT for the ones that came after them. Unpopular opinion incoming: Juvenile has always been and always will be in my Top 5 when it comes to rapping over fire beats in a way that Em shows here with his homage.
Bro, I've been watching reactions to this song and NOBODY has caught the whole thing yet. I'm surprised, of all people, i didn't expect knox to miss the first one. Or he forgot to point it out maybe.
@@Harvick4444 man i caught the double scheme he did there. Took me a good few more listens but I caught it. Enabling can, Abe Lincoln, In a blink and. He did a ABCBCABC pattern. EN and IN being the A rhyme, Ab(ling) and A B(link) being the B rhyme, then (enab)ling can, Lincoln and (b)link and being the C rhyme.
@@johnsheridan6754I literally just got the “enabling can” part of the bar from these comments. I keep scrolling, and now I see someone layering Abe being number 16 aka 16 bars 🤯
Has anyone noticed that if you listen to this album backwards it tells the story of slim killing Marshall. In this video houdini they drive wildly in the end and if you look at the track list next song is road rage... Also if you listen to habits then the first track Renaissance slim is spitting on Marshall's grave... Hope that made alil sense
We know you’ve reacted to all the songs, the day the album dropped. Drop the rest of them already😭😭😭 I can’t wait another week for the rest of the songs
It made me very happy when you noticed that he changed into his Shady voice on the ‘change’ line. The different voices depending on who’s speaking is a wonderful way of expressing the difference between Shady and Marshall. I feel like he tweaks his voice based on the lyric, he’ll mostly go back to ‘02 Eminem (his prime, and someone who was balancing Marshall and Shady together), and sometimes ‘99 Slim will show up to steal a punchline, this is pure Shady, the toxic element)
This whole world is sensitive "NOW" thing is kinda BS.. from the war on drugs, to satanic panic, to the PMRC, there has ALWAYS been dickheads that are super butthurt and offended by stuff and SUPER vocal about it. Only difference is nowadays every single person has a voice because of the internet. I'm pretty convinced humanity has always been plagued by these sniveling pussies..
I love this song - the flow at the start, the hook, the beat switches but also Em’s conversational delivery. It gets you to actually think. He’s bringing up valid points and reflecting what a lot of people feel but are too scared to voice for fear of being socially crucified. I love the line “I gotta participate for us to coexist” because it can be taken multiple ways - “I gotta participate for us to coexist? Damn.” (like intercourse, if we’re getting crude with it) OR “I gotta participate for us to coexist, damn.” (like be allowed to participate in the conversation, cos right now it’s one-sided and we’re not allowed to feel/think differently.)
18:21 When he said Adult Swim, it reminds me of when I would watch Inuyasha sporadically on that subchannel because of school nights or working on my music. I finally finished that series on Hulu 2 years ago! 😄 I'm now starting to watch other anime series on Hulu more than ever since my wife and I canceled cable after her heart-valve replacement surgery 2 years ago. -Trevor [Guitarist/bassist/MIDI/photographer]
Houdini remix sounding wicked!! Gotta get a listen in at some point. Been waiting for this one and laughing at myself because I can't help myself coming back for more with this track.
Pause. Period. You fucking make me laugh and I am here for it, and the technical breakdown of course, even though I have listened to this song at least 10 times already 😅
Yo knox thanks for breaking down these bars. Im not a native english speaker (German Dude) and without someone tellin me all the stuff that em says in his verses, i would lost a major part of the doubles, triples, quaduples he brings up. Thanks for your work and passion. Send love ❤
Copying from genius - The “white trunk with the gold trim” may as well be a reference to Trunks from Dragon Ball Z. After turning Super Saiyan, his trim (hair) turns gold. Then in the next few lines, he goes into "and I made it” which sounds like “animated”. Dragon ball Z is another anime that runs on Adult Swim. Added this here coz I'm a huge eminem and anime fan
as someone who has lots of trans friends and also a trans sibling, we all love eminem, like LOVE, we also know that the online LGBTQ community sucks often times, so i hope no one tries to actually cancel em, i feel like he isnt hating and his complaints are understandable and valid
Funny thing about me, my hair and eyes changed from blonde hair and blue eyes to brown hair, it's salt and pepper after 53 trips around the sun 😂, and hazel eyes! It's really wild how those can change in a few years. But, it's a fairly common thing. This is one of my favorite songs on this dope as fvck album!!! Though, I can say the same thing for all 16 songs on this album. Like everyone else, I think, I want another new Em album now........
When this song was playing as I was listening to my playlist, I was like, "Wait, is this the correct album?"... Em used a few flow pockets from his past songs, and to me the most obvious one is the flow from "Good Guy".
Damn! My mind just got blown today when I realized that the album also can be played backwards. In that track order Slim is killing Marshall instead. 🤯 Eminem is a genius! 🔥🔥🔥
Someone said the ALBUM should be listened to in order which is from last song to first song. There will be a side B or new album because 50 cent did say he was on the album with EM and he didn't come out in any of these songs.
I love your breakdowns I can’t catch a 1/4 of what you catch this is why your the goat breakdown king I need a Eminem ft Knox like yesterday please 🙏. I also like how you catch the voice changes your mind is amazing
Idk if he meant it but "Go out on my sheild like Cap." Kings were also carried to to their tombs on thier knights shields. So maybe its another way to call himself the king.

Still excite to hear your breakdown of the backside of tune album. The first half ha,s been amazing
"Capped in America" = shot in america.
Honestly, as a trans person, Em's got some thoughts that I myself have had. I appreciate his honesty and his persistence in breaking down the complexities of trans visibility and the shifting societal expectations. I read no hate here.
People said “Fuel” will melt Knox’s mind, and it did, but “Temporary” and “Somebody save me” will break his heart.
I've been checking literally every hour for DAYS
Temporary brings me to tears every time
GC2 will blow his mind if he thought the back and forth between Em and shady was insane already...

@@brianc7453an underground rapper who gets n1 in the charts everytime he drops something, yeah makes sense

Exactly. I just cant understand why some people say road rage is bad. The bars, the lyrics, the flows. They were insane...
Can’t have a masterpiece without the master 💯
@@greats-lm3krbecause it doesn’t sound great compared to the modern day rap everyone hears today, and people can’t handle Eminem saying certain words.
between this song, Habits and GC2, I torn on my favorite song on the album.
What? I don’t think so

Just gotta say, after watching Scru react out of order, seeing you do the record in the correct order like you're supposed to is super refreshing.
Also helps that Knox is 10 times better than him at appreciating the music and breaking down the bars and schemes 😂

That's the first thing that came to my mind xD
That is DOPE if Em meant it that way 🔥🔥🔥
Yesssssssssssss! First place my mind went to immediately
When he spits that Abe Lincoln bar it’s also stretched so that the line before when he says “enabling can do more harm then good”
Another thing. When he says he can "flip in a blink" I think of a coin, since Abe Lincoln is on the penny.
Woah! @@Yeet432
I didn't even catch that enabling can line. Em is insane with the word play
@@extraterestrialI didn’t catch that one either

You are the PROFESSOR. I love your channel and mostly your music. 🎶 Thank you Knox Hill for your breakdowns and your MUSIC ❤
Yo knox thanks for breaking down these bars. Im not a native english speaker (German Dude) and without someone tellin me all the stuff that em says in his verses, i would lost a major part of the doubles, triples, quaduples he brings up. Thanks for your work and passion. Send love ❤
Knox is the best cos he knows how to *break it down* 🎤
This album is so crazy
Ayyy I’m here under an hour following every reaction to every single song appreciate your deep break downs
Thanks Knox for all of this bro….
Just makes me appreciate this album more, it’s just incredible 🔥 Eminem is untouchable
Copying from genius - The “white trunk with the gold trim” may as well be a reference to Trunks from Dragon Ball Z.
After turning Super Saiyan, his trim (hair) turns gold. Then in the next few lines, he goes into "and I made it” which sounds like “animated”. Dragon ball Z is another anime that runs on Adult Swim.
Added this here coz I'm a huge eminem and anime fan
as someone who has lots of trans friends and also a trans sibling, we all love eminem, like LOVE, we also know that the online LGBTQ community sucks often times, so i hope no one tries to actually cancel em, i feel like he isnt hating and his complaints are understandable and valid
KNOX IS BACKKKK
Funny thing about me, my hair and eyes changed from blonde hair and blue eyes to brown hair, it's salt and pepper after 53 trips around the sun 😂, and hazel eyes! It's really wild how those can change in a few years. But, it's a fairly common thing.
This is one of my favorite songs on this dope as fvck album!!! Though, I can say the same thing for all 16 songs on this album.
Like everyone else, I think, I want another new Em album now........
You can also relate the trunks in gold as trunks in DBZ going super Saiyan since it was also a cartoon network program
I was thinking that too!
Watching from philippines
Let's go. Em did a master piece yet again
Thanks for these incredible breakdowns & for your remix! 🔥🔥 Luv ya, Professor ✌️🫶
Loving this series❤
Oh shit, I love that Samurai Champloo soundtrack. Thanks for reminding of it!
So glad you stopped posting multiple.
I want this vibe to keep rolling.
knox hill is the best man
Houdini from Knox is on fire it’s on repeat after repeat
There’s Knox haha. Been waiting all day 😄
When this song was playing as I was listening to my playlist, I was like, "Wait, is this the correct album?"... Em used a few flow pockets from his past songs, and to me the most obvious one is the flow from "Good Guy".
@m0racle That's because of lack of talent...
8:34 WOW! How did you even catch that? Truly…. You’re a beast, Knox!
Been waiting all day 🔥
Been waiting all day for this
KNOX GIVING OUT THE DEEP BREAKDOWNS TO THIS MASTERPIECE OF AN WITH THIS ONE💯💯🐐🐐🙏🙏
AND ALSO NO DIDDY💀😅
I shat my pants when I listened to this song for the first time. Best song in the album
Knox! You mentioned Trigun and I love it! Named my youngest Vash after the MC.
Man I love this guy for a reason spitting facts after facts
Love the reaction you give Knox!! You explain it so well bro!! Keep it Real!
Guess who's back? Knox is back... again! Hell yeah
Im so fascinated in how you breakdown these song
I love your breakdowns
8:51 bro the flow and the way he pronounces the words are sooooo smooth
Finallyyyy! Been waiting for your video the whooole day

Knox always coming witht the elaborate breakdowns noone else can guve us love ya channel knox
This is my 2nd favorite song on the album fuel is 1st there back to.baxk 🔥
Love the vids Knox keep it up
Love the filthy beat in the background- cool laidback and it grows up on you
Damn! My mind just got blown today when I realized that the album also can be played backwards. In that track order Slim is killing Marshall instead. 🤯 Eminem is a genius! 🔥🔥🔥
I love the chorus one of my favs off the new album with fuel, head honcho, temporary
This was only song I wasn’t the hugest fan of but after ur breakdown I like it more. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE TDOSH - it’s a masterpiece!
Reporting for Bars class!!
let's gooo!!! Finally caught up and now getting the edumacation from Knox
Someone said the ALBUM should be listened to in order which is from last song to first song. There will be a side B or new album because 50 cent did say he was on the album with EM and he didn't come out in any of these songs.
What's crazy is that I was listening to Road Rage when the notification dropped 😎😎😎😎
Samurai Champloo shoutout on a knox reaction wasnt on my bingo card but i love to see it 😂❤
Thanks bro!!!!
Appreciate it.
Another GOAT breakdown of the GOAT 🐐
3.33am here for my next hit of Knox killing the reactions!
The strings playing at the back when he is talking about bleaching his hair is the same motif from "When I'm Gone".
Knox out here explaining and I'm just here going "RURURU!"
I love this song! Can't wait for your reaction to Temporary and Somebody Save Me Knox 😢
I love your breakdowns I can’t catch a 1/4 of what you catch this is why your the goat breakdown king I need a Eminem ft Knox like yesterday please 🙏. I also like how you catch the voice changes your mind is amazing
I'm waiting for your reaction to Guilty Conscience 2. It'll be wild 🔥
Idk if he meant it but "Go out on my sheild like Cap." Kings were also carried to to their tombs on thier knights shields. So maybe its another way to call himself the king.
I have Samurai Champloo on DVD! Love the soundtrack!
I just love the beat. Fits with the masquerade theme.
I love the intro bro ❤
