I LOATHED hip hop for most of its existence. I joined the military...now I know how it feels to be in a...uuhhh....very loyal group that has a name and a border and will fight to keep it. Call that what you will. It's only been the last few years I've come to understand hip hop as more than "bitches, hoes, money, drugs & gunzzz". I ALSO understand gangsta rap now...I came up a spoiled goth kid from The Valley (Burbank), watched the Rodney King riots live on tv as a teenager (while Bradley was participatin' in some anarchy, yyyyeeeeessssss, indeedelly-do). SOMEHOW, I stumbled across Black Pegasus reacting to Animal Flow. Ren is HHAAWWTT, so I watched it...And am now obsessed with this friend-group of artists who support each other, allow new friends in, produce INCREDIBLE music and ideas, HAVING FUN all the while. Now I enjoy hip hop. Y'all did what people have been trying to do for DECADES. People I KNOW, who have loved me, supported me...and some strangers TURNED Me lol. KEEP UP THE FANTASM, Y'ALL.
I heard Ren said he’d battle but the agreement was live one take no lyrics diss hence the dead man walking released a version of his Ren dis live one take but the semi hidden phone blew it. That’s what Knox was highlighting with the still image in his diss 😂😂😂
Thank you for explaining about the "rap beef" for people like me. I'm not a hip hop fan so I'm missing certain references. I'm an older Ren fan, so suddenly I'm interested in following along with what's happening. In my humble opinion Knox isn't leaving much for Ren. Poor Dotta 😬
I truly enjoy your interviews, podcasts, reactions, music, and personality! Keep doing what you do and thank you for it all! Much love and have a great day!
I've watched multiple reactions to "Thor's" patiently waiting diss and so far, you're the only one who's caught the "hill's heights" bar. I'm very impressed because that's a double fire bar.
That was 🔥🔥🔥. Can't wait for Ren's. He's going to bury him and sing his eulogy. Really enjoyed your recent interviews- watched all 3. Would love to see more of that. Great conversations and insights. Masterful interviewing. 💛
I'm so glad the Ren phenomenon happened because I would never have found any of the Avengers. And now that I'm here, I am HERE FOR IT! All of you lot are incredibly talented, and it's wild to get exposed to your music (all of which is fucking great BTW), but just seeing what looks like a thing, a movement, an ---I don't know what to call it, but it's amazing to witness. Love all you guys; love the work you do, and the fact that you're all cool with each other is fantastic. Ren's going to have to break out some necromantic dark wizardry (and he is SO the guy to do it). Knox killed Datta so badly that there wasn't enough recognizable to identify.
As someone who’s aware of Knox’s music but watches his breakdowns/reactions regularly, this “beef” has really impressed me. I really didn’t think he had all this in him lol. The contrast between his usual positivity and friendliness to these two tracks where he gets to go in and even be outright raunchy. This was a lot of fun lmao
Seen many reactions to this. Heard it many times. For me, this is the definitive reaction. No one has broken down these bars as well as you have. Top Job.
I love the way you use the word "petty" as a compliment when it comes to diss tracks. That's exactly what makes a diss or a battle rap entertaining... the accuracy of the pettiness 😂
Love it!!! Couldn't have cared less about hip hop till Ren came along and opened up a whole new world for me. Started watchin' all you guys and gained an appreciation for rap and hip hop. Now I've become aware of the diss and beef rap part of the culture and love it! It is fun Anthony! Ren might just have to kick the corpse lol.
Ive got to admit it is fun 😂 never thought id get into rap battles , find myself trawling for others and watched a stormzy one yesterday . My family think ive gone bonkers😂 . Thankyou Anthony for educating us 😊❤
Knox took him out without breaking a sweat. Dom’s part at the end is pure gold!! I watched the podcast with Dom last night and I really enjoyed it! I have watched all his Ren and Chinchilla reactions, I love when he gets excited about a song! I knew he was a good guy just based off reactions, and it was cool to learn more about him as a person. Anyone who has him for a friend is a lucky person for sure. You’re on to something here with these podcasts. Seems natural to you. I hope Cliff will be a guest, love him too. I learned a lot last night about all that goes into making reactions/content and I appreciate what you guys do even more. Thank you. Looking forward to the next one!
Depends on whether you take 'kill' literally or not. You can take dead people to court and try them for crimes they allegedly did in life. You can destroy their memory. Change their history and their legacy. So in a way, you can kill a dead man. Metaphorically. 😏
That's kinda a probly on Rens side, his fan base is so diverse a lot of people aren't familiar with how this works. So there's a good portion of his fans who are leaving comments asking him not to get involved in this kind of stuff lol. Like overprotective parents, on one had I wanna roll my eyes and on the other i wanna be like guys you're so cute to be legit worried.
I loved this!! And thanks for breaking it down and some background. I came here via Ren rabbit hole and though I was/am partial to the early hip hop I’m not a rap fan. But this was brilliant. King dot dot dot was boring to me. It needs variety - you said it! Our attention spans are much shorter cos there’s so much out there demanding our attention. If I get bored I move on. Period. Knox Hill is class. 😊
Thanks for the context and breakdown you provided! I'm one of those people you mentioned, who are new to hiphop and for whom this is the first hiphop beef they witness...
That smile, and laughter at the end was a fantastic finish to this banger of a diss. I really hope they keep it going, for the fun of the genre. No hate! Much love and have a great day!
“Wtf is Ren gonna do now?” No, legit Ren is 100% having this problem right now lol! He even commented on this video “How do you kill a dead man? Asking for a friend.”
first reaction i have seen of you. Subbed. I need you n knox on a track please. You are cool calm collected and see what matters. i would love to see you both go for the best bit in a collab
Such a great breakdown my guy! Haha I was worried for a minute, where do I go for the reaction on this killer diss when it's Knox himself on the track?! Much love Anthony
That's supposed to be one of his upcoming tracks. He said if we got to a million followers by the end of July that he'd drop one every Friday in August. Something like that.
It's a great time to be alive to be able to watch a battle unfold in real time from anywhere in the world. It's all good and they are stepping up their game. love it
Excellent breakdown of the lyrics. I even understood it :) Many of us Knox Reaction fans have never listened much to rap or participated in a rap diss (except FIR).
I havent listened to a single knox hill song, i only watched him for his reactions, but ive listened to both his diss tracks. I love watching internet/youtber drama. also, i would love to watch knox do a react/breakdown of his own diss songs as a joke. XD
I will admit ,im from the older gen , I love ren and because of him ive begun to like some rap/hiphop and im loving this diss battle... There are a few reactors i follow you being one , BP Another and Knox another and of course cliff (and a few others ) i am trolling others who have reacted to this knox diss to see what's happening and can't wait to see how Ren is going to react... Coming from the southeast of uk i am very familiar with Brighton as my daughter lives there ... Love your reactions !
Knox hit it twice out of the ballpark and now Ren is going to have to chase that ball down and hit it again. Lol 😅 Thanks for breaking it all down. This is the most fun I've had all summer. Lol
The shrug at the end says it all. And I am one of those folks that isn't into hip hop. I kinda got dragged into this from Cliff's channel. Cliff Beats, if you're curious. Then I saw Black Pegasus....then I got hooked. I don't like many rappers. Not my favored genre...but this is art. I can appreciate Knox for his bars and his flow. And that's Big Truth at the end...no matter your game, there's ways to move and play. If you can't see that, you in the wrong game. That's just the way of things. I knew Knox from his reactions...now I also know he's an artist. Which is cool.
Really enjoying my first foray into rap battle culture and really enjoying the ‘Avengers’ coverage of this situation. Can’t wait to see what Ren brings us and your reaction to that too 🥊🔥💥
Apparently Ren commented on this video on Knox Hill's channel. Said something like "How do you kill a dead person? Asking for a friend." Dotta, here at 3:15 PST 8/3, still has not hit 1K on his channel. A couple of days ago I checked his subs in the morning and he had one less than I thought I saw the night before. 61 and enjoying the f**k out of this beef. And especially thankful for reactors like you whose insight into rap makes this all the better for an old prog-rocker who never got into the rap and hip hop thang. Priorities currently being reexamined musically. Sifting all the mediocre from the gems is hard, but I'm more educated now. However, Knox is gold and gems. Dotta has yet to gain enough exposure to be called mediocre. But...damn...think about it...can he entertain or what? Bwahahahahahaha! Blessings.
Caught a dozen reactions to this, and you're the first one to catch the royalties double. Figured you might after you caught the reign double. Love that you caught the copyright double and that he was doing an Em cadence while he was at it. Didja catch the pinned comment? Ren came in asking, "How do you kill a dead man? Asking for a friend." 😆 Love the reaction. ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
At least this isn't like the MGK or Nick Cannon "diss" tracks. Dotta's diss track wasn't terrible. He isn't in the same league as Knox, as shown here, but he's still decent. I hope Dotta keeps rapping and justblearns to incorporate more variation in hia voice, more flow switching, and updates his go-to's and rhyme schemes. Then he could request a rematch and make it less one-sided
I really like your style of reaction! you really breaking everything down in a way that we also learn a lot about how rap songs work! Btw are you from the French speaking part of Belgium or the Dutch speaking part? Im Dutch thats why i am asking
Knox is top tier and this beef has just given him the chance to display all of his skills in such a fun way! He's got everyone following this massacre because this isn't even a battle 😂
Yo, your luscious locks tho. 😆 For real, this has been a war some didnt know they needed. It's invoking and inspiring for up and coming artists. (Has me thinking I wanna apply for a spot on the Avengers 😂)
I feel the diss stuff has elevated Knox to another level of appreciation for his craft
Absolutely agree!
I totally agree!
Knox came up battling this is too easy for him.😂
Maybe it's because it's a diss but I didn't know he could be so funny too.
No doubt. I have a new respect for him
"Knox is petty and I'm here for it" all of us feel the same way 😂
I died laughing at "what's he gonna do, dig the body up and shoot it!?"
The Cliff bar is even harder, in his reaction he mentioned that his real name is Rob so him "robbing" Dotta is a double
Ren commented on this song.
"How do you kill a dead man? Asking for a friend."
Thay is some funny stuff right there.
Turn him into a zombie then take his head
I LOATHED hip hop for most of its existence. I joined the military...now I know how it feels to be in a...uuhhh....very loyal group that has a name and a border and will fight to keep it. Call that what you will. It's only been the last few years I've come to understand hip hop as more than "bitches, hoes, money, drugs & gunzzz". I ALSO understand gangsta rap now...I came up a spoiled goth kid from The Valley (Burbank), watched the Rodney King riots live on tv as a teenager (while Bradley was participatin' in some anarchy, yyyyeeeeessssss, indeedelly-do).

Ditto!
I concur.
Knoxhill is UA-cam royalty
100% Knox won 🏆 Thanks Anthony ❤
Knox‘s track is fire🔥
I've watched multiple reactions to "Thor's" patiently waiting diss and so far, you're the only one who's caught the "hill's heights" bar. I'm very impressed because that's a double fire bar.
I've listened to both Knox tracks so many more times than most rap songs, because he made it so much fun.
You can hear Knox having fun getting back into battle mode . It's been some years since he played like this.
Yesss!! Man this week is awesome.
Great Indepth reaction man!! you taught me a lot that i missed here!!
That was 🔥🔥🔥.
Can't wait for Ren's. He's going to bury him and sing his eulogy.
Really enjoyed your recent interviews- watched all 3. Would love to see more of that. Great conversations and insights. Masterful interviewing. 💛
I'm so glad the Ren phenomenon happened because I would never have found any of the Avengers. And now that I'm here, I am HERE FOR IT! All of you lot are incredibly talented, and it's wild to get exposed to your music (all of which is fucking great BTW), but just seeing what looks like a thing, a movement, an ---I don't know what to call it, but it's amazing to witness. Love all you guys; love the work you do, and the fact that you're all cool with each other is fantastic.
Ren's going to have to break out some necromantic dark wizardry (and he is SO the guy to do it). Knox killed Datta so badly that there wasn't enough recognizable to identify.
Rens comment and Dom at the end!?!😂
As someone who’s aware of Knox’s music but watches his breakdowns/reactions regularly, this “beef” has really impressed me. I really didn’t think he had all this in him lol.
The contrast between his usual positivity and friendliness to these two tracks where he gets to go in and even be outright raunchy. This was a lot of fun lmao
Seen many reactions to this. Heard it many times. For me, this is the definitive reaction. No one has broken down these bars as well as you have. Top Job.
I love how Rens premiere photo has him wearing a top with a large white flower on it like he’s going to a funeral 😂😂😂😂
I love the way you use the word "petty" as a compliment when it comes to diss tracks. That's exactly what makes a diss or a battle rap entertaining... the accuracy of the pettiness 😂
I so love the flow switch he does at 17:55
It’s awesome watching this go down in real time! We don’t get shit like this too often!! Love it!!
🤟🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Perfect outro to this video bro 😂
Love it!!! Couldn't have cared less about hip hop till Ren came along and opened up a whole new world for me. Started watchin' all you guys and gained an appreciation for rap and hip hop. Now I've become aware of the diss and beef rap part of the culture and love it! It is fun Anthony! Ren might just have to kick the corpse lol.
Ive got to admit it is fun 😂 never thought id get into rap battles , find myself trawling for others and watched a stormzy one yesterday . My family think ive gone bonkers😂 . Thankyou Anthony for educating us 😊❤
I'm 58 and could become an embarrassing problem for them, as I find myself chatting rap in the streets to myself 🤣🤣 @GnarlySprite
Same, and I’m so glad to hear I’m not the only one.
Sooo close to 200k! Congrats, my man!!
Knox took him out without breaking a sweat. Dom’s part at the end is pure gold!!
I watched the podcast with Dom last night and I really enjoyed it! I have watched all his Ren and Chinchilla reactions, I love when he gets excited about a song!

I learned a lot last night about all that goes into making reactions/content and I appreciate what you guys do even more. Thank you. Looking forward to the next one!
Yeah I'd love more podcasts with other reactors, agreed AR is a natural for it
Ren actually commented on Knox's 'Patiently Waiting' with: How do you kill a dead man? Asking for a friend. Also, Vlaamse rap man, mooi om te horen!
Depends on whether you take 'kill' literally or not. You can take dead people to court and try them for crimes they allegedly did in life. You can destroy their memory. Change their history and their legacy. So in a way, you can kill a dead man. Metaphorically. 😏
Waiter... I'd like to order a Crown, burned two ways!
The sooner people realise this is sparring and not a war, the better.
That's kinda a probly on Rens side, his fan base is so diverse a lot of people aren't familiar with how this works. So there's a good portion of his fans who are leaving comments asking him not to get involved in this kind of stuff lol. Like overprotective parents, on one had I wanna roll my eyes and on the other i wanna be like guys you're so cute to be legit worried.

Knox Hill is class. 😊
Great analysis 🔥
Through Ren, I never would have tripped into the rap world. So glad I discovered so many other great rappers and you are def one of the Anthony.
as Ren said on the original video "How do you kill a dead man? Asking for a friend"
@RenMakeMusic sent this message to Knox after the 2nd diss "How do you kill a dead man? Asking for a friend" Brill 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the context and breakdown you provided! I'm one of those people you mentioned, who are new to hiphop and for whom this is the first hiphop beef they witness...
That smile, and laughter at the end was a fantastic finish to this banger of a diss. I really hope they keep it going, for the fun of the genre. No hate!
Much love and have a great day!
“Wtf is Ren gonna do now?” No, legit Ren is 100% having this problem right now lol! He even commented on this video “How do you kill a dead man? Asking for a friend.”
Love to start my day with you Anthony. Awesome breakdown. Now I can work. haha
Ren can talk about what happens to a Rapper when you actually go through the School of Hard Knocks (Knox)! Dope reaction!
first reaction i have seen of you. Subbed. I need you n knox on a track please. You are cool calm collected and see what matters. i would love to see you both go for the best bit in a collab
Such a great breakdown my guy! Haha I was worried for a minute, where do I go for the reaction on this killer diss when it's Knox himself on the track?!
Much love Anthony
So great, so fun. Much love.
In Cliffs reaction he said the rob is actually his middle name so it's a double.
Mark your calendar. Ren is dropping something on friday.
That's supposed to be one of his upcoming tracks. He said if we got to a million followers by the end of July that he'd drop one every Friday in August. Something like that.
He came for Ren and Knox. He should have started with the knight, castle, Queen or Pawn. 😂😂😂
The perfect blend pettiness, haymakers and comedic gold! A served up with technical skills far beyond "you know who".
It's a great time to be alive to be able to watch a battle unfold in real time from anywhere in the world. It's all good and they are stepping up their game. love it
Excellent breakdown of the lyrics. I even understood it :) Many of us Knox Reaction fans have never listened much to rap or participated in a rap diss (except FIR).
I was wondering where Dom was dissing Dotta. Nice to know! Hilarious!
Bro your breakdowns are on point!
Knox murdered him, Ren's gonna read the eulogy.
when u said "a bit asthmatic..." you can hear the coughing in the producing 14:33 - first time I noticed that 😅
I love that you tried, you tried to stay impartial. But it was just an old fashioned beat down. Dom at the end was just hilarious 😂
Thanks for the breakdown! This is All new to me, completely entertaining and I’ll be here for the target practise on the corp when Ren is ready
I havent listened to a single knox hill song, i only watched him for his reactions, but ive listened to both his diss tracks. I love watching internet/youtber drama.
also, i would love to watch knox do a react/breakdown of his own diss songs as a joke. XD
The switch to the NAS 'Got yourself a gun' beat was awesome
I did not realize until now that Dotta was from my state. With that said, I had still never heard of him before this beef. 😂😂
Great reaction once again. Top work man.
So much fun😂
This whole sitch is hilarious. This isn’t a rap battle it’s a rap massacre.
I will admit ,im from the older gen , I love ren and because of him ive begun to like some rap/hiphop and im loving this diss battle... There are a few reactors i follow you being one , BP Another and Knox another and of course cliff (and a few others ) i am trolling others who have reacted to this knox diss to see what's happening and can't wait to see how Ren is going to react... Coming from the southeast of uk i am very familiar with Brighton as my daughter lives there ... Love your reactions !
not only did he not reply, he posted a community post denying anything even happened XD What a buster XD
Who's scared of this little bitty "dot-Ah"
Best thing is what Ren wrote in the comments section of Knox's Patiently Waiting Diss
"How do you kill a dead man? Asking for a friend" 🤣🤣🤣
I love Dom (Thatsingerreactions) that shi had me dead...💀😭🤣
Knox did his thing ad always. R. I. P (Rest in pieces) Queen Daughter..
Knox hit it twice out of the ballpark and now Ren is going to have to chase that ball down and hit it again. Lol 😅 Thanks for breaking it all down. This is the most fun I've had all summer. Lol
The shrug at the end says it all. And I am one of those folks that isn't into hip hop. I kinda got dragged into this from Cliff's channel. Cliff Beats, if you're curious.

Really enjoying my first foray into rap battle culture and really enjoying the ‘Avengers’ coverage of this situation.
Can’t wait to see what Ren brings us and your reaction to that too 🥊🔥💥
I love the fact Knox didn't even have to reply once and yet he replied twice!!!
Ren commented on Knox's video "How do you kill a dead man? Asking for a friend."
Knox crushed him in so many ways.
5:05 Knox hill said "Yoda wan rappin with bars about star wars."
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Your new song is fire!
Apparently Ren commented on this video on Knox Hill's channel. Said something like "How do you kill a dead person? Asking for a friend."
Dotta, here at 3:15 PST 8/3, still has not hit 1K on his channel. A couple of days ago I checked his subs in the morning and he had one less than I thought I saw the night before.

Caught a dozen reactions to this, and you're the first one to catch the royalties double. Figured you might after you caught the reign double.
Love that you caught the copyright double and that he was doing an Em cadence while he was at it.
Didja catch the pinned comment? Ren came in asking, "How do you kill a dead man? Asking for a friend." 😆
Love the reaction. ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
The trifecta of AR, KH, and Ren is amazing, love TSR at the end
#KnoxNation in da HAUS!!!!
🦾🎶😎🔥☄️👽🤘🐐
Anthony is breakingdown knox like knox would. love seeing this so much. You got to get knox to know knox
Loved it
Ouch ouch ouch...Knox brought it HARD. Beautiful kill shot!
At least this isn't like the MGK or Nick Cannon "diss" tracks. Dotta's diss track wasn't terrible. He isn't in the same league as Knox, as shown here, but he's still decent. I hope Dotta keeps rapping and justblearns to incorporate more variation in hia voice, more flow switching, and updates his go-to's and rhyme schemes. Then he could request a rematch and make it less one-sided
I wondered who that was at the end. Thanks!
Thatsingerreactions
Ren commented on this video saying " how do you kill a dead man? Asking for a friend" lol
Anthony, Ren is dropping a dis track latter today.
Think Ren is going to to respond through Disco Doc as a therapy session. Stay tuned tomorrow.
The possibilities are mind bending .
Omg Disco Doc has to be him! And if it's not, I don't wanna know lol.
Cliff Beats' name is also Rob. Hence he "Robbed" him.
Ren said it best “how do you kill someone who’s dead”
6:15 Grizzy Hendrix - “RIP WORSE RAPPER ON UA-cam- (QUEEN DOTTA DISS)- MICHELLESHOW PAY ME MY MONEY!!!”
❤🇬🇧👊✌️👍he really killed it.
I really like your style of reaction! you really breaking everything down in a way that we also learn a lot about how rap songs work!
Btw are you from the French speaking part of Belgium or the Dutch speaking part? Im Dutch thats why i am asking
Knox is top tier and this beef has just given him the chance to display all of his skills in such a fun way! He's got everyone following this massacre because this isn't even a battle 😂
Yo, your luscious locks tho. 😆 For real, this has been a war some didnt know they needed. It's invoking and inspiring for up and coming artists.
(Has me thinking I wanna apply for a spot on the Avengers 😂)
Greetings from Belgium.
Michelle show has a new video out titled Knox Hill won't stop bullying king dotta 😂
Not sure if I'll bother to watch it but the title says it all
Knox is on a whole other level. Battle rap class by professor Knox
I love Ren's comment on it. 😂
