What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro support the channel directly & download my album ‘Chaos Theory’ now 🙌 www.knoxhillmusic.com
"I don't go around fire expecting not to sweat" he's referencing that he is aware of who he's on a track with and he knows that Em is going to come with the fire bars and that he has to bring his A game to match it.
That is not what Wayne saying he’s basically saying he knows what he’s doing when doing it…. just like the saying “if you can’t stand the heat stay out the kitchen” that is actually self explanatory. “I know what I’m doing”
Honestly, I think Weezy's ad-libs while Eminem starts firing off is part of what really makes this song for me. He just seems so genuinely into it and like he is digging the shit Em is laying down, y'know what I mean?
@@initialjah4316 yeah I keep listening to the song just for Wayne’s verse. Em goes hard but I’ve never ever heard Wayne go so hard before. I guess “Mirror” Wayne Ft . Bruno Mars comes a close next in best verses from him.
@@jorizzblason_ not really ... like Wayne can be lyrical but I guess he is known to slur and rap with a southern drawl which a bunch of nobody’s started to bite .
I absolutely love listening to Wayne talk about how he always went so fucking hard when he was on a track with Em cuz he wasn't gonna let him smoke him like he does everyone else 😂🔥🔥🔥
@@owenhoogland3671 Well, if you ask any casual fans to name any Eminem songs, I highly doubt that this even makes their list. That's what I mean by underrated.
"Scribble out them rhymes you were going to spit and start over from scratch and write new ones". KNOX!!! Em is referencing when Kanye had written his verse for a track with Em, Kanye heard what em was gonna spit, then canceled 2 days worth of appointments and interviews to rewrite his own verse to try and keep up with Em. Absolute genius. Em also calls out to Kanye in a few other tracks in his recovery because Em understands the scrutiny that comes with healing yourself. Em monopolizes but recognizes talent and shows respect. I will listen to Em even if he raps at 100 years old. In his 50s now and still rapping like he is hungry. Thanks for the content KNOX, bless
WoW.. I didn't know that Sherlock Holmes.. how did you know that.? You are such a genius.. Albert Einstein and Elon Musk ain't got shit on you and your knowledge.. By the way , I was being sarcastic.. Haddaway is from the Caribbean, to be exact, Trinidad and Tobago.. where I live, so obviously, I'd know it was his song sampled.. Guess you didn't know that.?
@@AllanWilliams-yh7dt Did you watch the video? He asks people to comment on who was singing on the track that wasn't Em or Wayne. Why are you such a dick?
@Kelli Waters 2 of my top 2 favorites too. They are awesome together. Its always the ones who seem so different that actually can pull off something great. Also his collab with Yelawolf on Bestfriend was one of my favorite verses from him and also two completely different styles but fit together perfect on the right track. Eminem is good for being able to jump on anything and stand out though. Even though he seems to do everything his way but at the same time he can flip so much to fit on a beat and blend with another artist. Idk I am rambling now 😂 It made me think and type what I was thinking. Sorry this is a novel. Lol.
🤯Knox, thank you for helping me unlock the other 69% of this song that I missed out on in the last 420+ listens!!! Honestly though, every minute of you explaining had me like🤦🏽♂️. Never knew how much depth there was to this song
Knox, first off I want to take the time to say thank you for giving me the knowledge to appreciate some of my favorite rappers all that much more. I always love your insight when it comes to the meanings on these songs. Also, I’m loving the music. Keep growing, brother! Love the overall content! Wish you nothing but success!🙏🏼
I'm a simple man, i see knox hill, i see eminem, I like the video. Also you gotta do more lil dicky, you should check out the freestyles he does on his tv show "Dave"
Best line in my opinion is “these people just get sick cuz you spit and these fools can’t drool or dribble a drop anymore” one of my top 3 Eminem songs
they all go way harder with Em - They gotta lol. Em brings out the best in everyone, and everyone brings out the best in Em too cause they all so competitive
First time listening to Eminem with enough English proficiency to understand most of the lyrics (thanks to being written of course!), and now man… I just now got a sense of (apart from his technical geniosity) his depth in organizing the words, beats, syllables, metaphors, references and lines SO expertly that makes him unmatched in the whole (history of the) industry! Thanks Knox! I would have never been able to get that if you hadn't done your epic reaction to it! (You are the only TRUELY original reactor I've EVER known… 🙂🖤)
23:20 There is a clip of Kanye talking to someone and he says "when i heard Ems verse, that shit was so hard, I rewrote my entire verse, I canceled appointments to rewrite"
His reference to where’s Kanye when you need him is about him taking the mic from t swift at the award show. His next line is also something like snatch the mic
These are probably my two favorite rappers of all time, they’ve made some fire tracks and work so well off each other, would love to hear them release some more songs
Eminem and Lil Wayne are still two of the GOATs in the game, done and done :) This song shows the mastery of two beasts on the mic and the bars that they can deliver~
Ageless tune, great reaction! Stretching to connect a double, could be one with "people's ears perk up" and "spaz". Hit me when Knox mentioned ears perking up like a dog. Spaz was the name of Spawn's dog. Preceding line of being "alive again" (reborn) is spot on for Spawn's character as well. Not a chance in Hell Em isn't a Spawn fan ;)
I learned this thing by heart rapping in my car in the winter late nights. I wrote it down on notebook paper before I had a smart phone and long before we had "Genius" lyrics.
Genius is a blessing. Though not entirely perfect, it's a large step up from AZLyrics which itself was only a marginal improvement above random UA-cam lyrics videos.
He also predicted it in "Till Hell Freezes Over", one of his first recordings with Dre. " "And as the world turns and I keep growin' older I'll be livin' this hip-hop till hell freezes over"
I appreciate how you break down the bars and explain all the little details that sometimes we miss. It gives the song a whole new meaning. Great reaction to these two legends 👍
I love how the first part of Em's verse how his cadence matched the snare drum .. the pause then the speed up .. amazing how he listens to instrumentals and comes up with rhyme patterns to match a part of the beat
A lot of the times he writes then adds different efx an different melodie's to perfectly compliment his flow after the lyrics are laid, he constructs the beat around his flow......most people don't even know he makes most of his own beats. Dre hasn't produced Em since the MMLP
I appreciate the way you break down the bars and explain all the little details that sometimes we miss. Once you understand it, it gives the song a whole new meaning. Great reaction to these two legends 👍
*Should do the music videos! Now you gotta check out these classics: Lil Wayne- Mona Lisa Lil Wayne n Eminem- Drop the World Eminem n Rihanna- Love the way you lie Eminem- Guts over Fear Eminem- Space Bound
I just wanna say thank you for pausing and actually breaking it down. I specifically looked up this video to hear your breakdown cause it's just so much better than the other one I watched.
I think it's because on the same album in "talking to myself" he talks about how he almost made a track dissing Wayne. So people were just guessing that he was subdissing Wayne a few tracks later.
This song, or rather Em's verse on this song is what made me the Stan I am. When I needed a boost, Em came with this. As a non-native speaker it was easy to understand what he was saying. The way he made the flow be something I was almost affraid to breath during. That day in 2011 was the day I had found what keeps me going still.
Dude, love your channel and your Em break downs. Also like your flow man. Thanks for giving songs I've listened to hundreds of times a fresh spin. Big fan! Good times!
Everyone I listen to an Em song I make sure I’m in a room alone and listen for boy or entendres double and triple meaning bars and if there’s current events or history in the bars, listen only by ear 4-6 lines at a time then rewind and read the lyrics, then after I here the same 4-6 lines again I rewind in one more time not for the lyrics but just for the the sound of him the boot rhythm and flow and here when I punches drags out a syllable or consent while also listening if he’s rhyming the first middle or end of a word. It will take my 20-30 minutes to get through a 4 min Em song if I’m trying to break it down. I try to catch all I can on my own then I come to this channel for all the stuff I missed. I’ve gotten better at catching things from my process and this channel. It’s helped me to have a better ear for lyricists and MCs vs rappers and it’s helped me right my poems and lyrics. I don’t rap very good but in my head when I read it it’s sounds great. It’s a hobby of mine that hard af but I enjoy the hell out of it
A Knox Hill just started listening and watching your videos and you are by far the best one out there. I would like for you to react to Guts over Fear by Eminem ft Sia.
To me, Knox Hill is the best reactor of all time. He doesn't only follow the rhythms of the music but dig deeper into it, meaning.... this is extraordinary, man trying to understand what others put into their music world. ❤❤❤
I always felt that that i got the world stuck in a safe combination is the G-code was also a shout out to Juvenile from early on in Lil Wayne's music career. Remember the album tha G-code by Juvenile that Lil wayne featured in several tracks on? OG Cash Money at it's finest.
Finally!!! Love hearing the GOAT break down 2 legends....greatness all over the screen.......weird that you can't show actual videos; you pause so much, I can't imagine why it would get blocked. You took a 4 minute song and produced a 34 min vid as only you can. #goat #hilltopmafia #chaostheory
I love when you hear things, that I've been wondering to myself about bars in songs and wonder if other people pick it up when they listen! Love the content!
When I first heard this, it was progressively just hyping me up more, I remember that I heard Weezy's verse, and I was stumped and had no idea on how Em could possibly top that, I thought he would get killed on his own song. And then came EM with his, and WOW. He did something I didn't think he could, one of his BEST verses. Doing better than Weezy in his PRIME is almost impossible, and their verses go so well together. Just, *_chef's kiss_*
By far this is the best reaction channel I've found, I like a lot of them and some focus on lyrics and meanings but only Knox Hill goes into details like you do. I am a new subcriber and been browsing all your videos. Keep it up huge fan love your stuff 👏
Hey Knox; the dude singing the 'No love' bits is produce Just Blaze. Him,The Alchemist and Denaun Porter make cameo appearances in the studio, in the MV and you can clearly see its him singing that part.
I love this song. And my favorite line is actually "my bars are full of broken bottles and my night stands are full of open bibles". That paints such a strong picture in my head! Some book-authors manage to do that with just a few words as well, and Wayne is a master of condensed meaning. I used to think Wayne's verse was a bit short but I always liked it. just thought it pales a little against Eminem's. But the longer I listen to this song, the more I think it's perfect and it might even top (for me, personally) Eminem's. Not so much technically, but in the way he uses words. He's a word-painter.
BTW, never really noticed the moments where Wayne doubles Eminem in his verse. I think it's because those lines (you'll never take my pride, for example, but all the others too) work for him just as much as for Eminem.
Ur break downs are so good. my pee sized brain catches so little. I been doing one of your break downs a day as therapy from this global pandemic and the constant amplified echo of it. Big ups!
Man, I've been waiting for this for so long and didn't even know I was waiting for this, this song got me through a good portion of my childhood, great breakdown man!
Years later, Eminem gives Lil Wayne the props he deserves with his new song "The ringer" when he says that most rappers copy lil Wayne shows and I'm glad you said that Eminem respects Wayne because he does, just as much as Wayne respects him

If Wayne wrote a poem Eminem wrote an essay. Both are amazing in different ways.
Damn. I love this analogy💯‼
Never heard it tha way. Perfect analogy
Fantastic way to phrase it. Thanks for sharing it ❤

Em's verse on this gives me chills ten years on, absolutely beat the track to death right here
20:28 it's also a flip on the idiom, "If you can't beat them, join them."
Weezy’s words explain the battle with drug addiction and the life so well with “my night broken bottles and open bibles” my favorite line of his.

Best line in my opinion is “these people just get sick cuz you spit and these fools can’t drool or dribble a drop anymore” one of my top 3 Eminem songs
I've always thought Lil wayne goes way harder when he jumps on a track with Em, it awakens a whole other level.

Finally!!! Love hearing the GOAT break down 2 legends....greatness all over the screen.......weird that you can't show actual videos; you pause so much, I can't imagine why it would get blocked. You took a 4 minute song and produced a 34 min vid as only you can. #goat #hilltopmafia #chaostheory
I love when you hear things, that I've been wondering to myself about bars in songs and wonder if other people pick it up when they listen! Love the content!
Finally!!! Been requesting for this my whole life lol. The verses in this song are top notch.
When I first heard this, it was progressively just hyping me up more, I remember that
I heard Weezy's verse, and I was stumped and had no idea on how Em could possibly top that, I thought he would get killed on his own song.
And then came EM with his, and WOW. He did something I didn't think he could, one of his BEST verses.
Doing better than Weezy in his PRIME is almost impossible, and their verses go so well together. Just,
*_chef's kiss_*
The chef's kiss got me lol! Liked!
💯
Wayne really went in on this one! Em never disappoints
By far this is the best reaction channel I've found, I like a lot of them and some focus on lyrics and meanings but only Knox Hill goes into details like you do. I am a new subcriber and been browsing all your videos. Keep it up huge fan love your stuff 👏
Hey Knox; the dude singing the 'No love' bits is produce Just Blaze. Him,The Alchemist and Denaun Porter make cameo appearances in the studio, in the MV and you can clearly see its him singing that part.
Knox the line "I so started to rock fellow"
Is actually "my soul started to rot fellow"
Gosh, it's been a while since I listened to this song. Looking forward to listening to it again with your brain to help!
When your so good you cant say it cuz it aint cool for you to stay cocky anymore. This line is just awesome it just says it all.
We haven't seen Em on his prime yet who knows? Thanks for pointing that out I really thinks he is getting better with time
I personally like his old stuff more. He used to ride the beat like no other. No it feels forced
….and with his new album out now ….. now you know!! ha
You were like a hip-hop scientist @Knox. Thank you for the intricate and meticulous breakdown.
Day 41 of asking for Holy- Lil’ Wayne, song is full of bars
Day 41 of giving u like for asking for Holy- Lil wayne
Holy is truly a Top Tier Wayne Song. OMG, he BLACKS OUT on that track.
Yes
Lol
This song is just pure 🔥 so much punch and power
No lie Lil Wayne has the greatest Mixtape catalog EVER.
Dedication 2 is the best mixtape of all time

I was listening to recovery when I was in rehab and it really helped me through it. Been clean for 15 years now.
Same! 15 years on November 1st!
Damn I’ve listened to this song 100s of times and I have never caught any of these references by Eminem
This song was nothing but a masterpiece
Damn this song is my fav Em song
I almost forgot about this song 😂😂. Thanks for bringing it back to the forefront ❤.
Another great reaction, thank you!!!
I love this song. And my favorite line is actually "my bars are full of broken bottles and my night stands are full of open bibles". That paints such a strong picture in my head! Some book-authors manage to do that with just a few words as well, and Wayne is a master of condensed meaning.
I used to think Wayne's verse was a bit short but I always liked it. just thought it pales a little against Eminem's. But the longer I listen to this song, the more I think it's perfect and it might even top (for me, personally) Eminem's. Not so much technically, but in the way he uses words. He's a word-painter.
BTW, never really noticed the moments where Wayne doubles Eminem in his verse. I think it's because those lines (you'll never take my pride, for example, but all the others too) work for him just as much as for Eminem.
Ur break downs are so good. my pee sized brain catches so little. I been doing one of your break downs a day as therapy from this global pandemic and the constant amplified echo of it. Big ups!
Please do “Glory” by lil wayne. The word play is legendary.
My goodness I had this song on replay when it first came out. Now I'm here watching your breakdown and it's still 🔥🔥
"Marsh is not mellow" is also referring to him (marshall) not being mellow. The way I interpreted at least.
Man, I've been waiting for this for so long and didn't even know I was waiting for this, this song got me through a good portion of my childhood, great breakdown man!
Didn't even realize it was a lighter 😂.. You are incredible for hearing that and making that association 👌🏾.
Oh yea that lighter is Wayne’s thing bro. He used that so much throughout his discographies 🙌
@@KnoxHill Amazing reaction as usual👌🏾 especially the Eminem portion 🙌🏾 as usual 😄.. By the way thank you for Chaos theory 🙇🏾♂️🔥🙏🏾.
Yep. Me too. I have been listening to this song for yrs...I don't know that.
i love pretty much everything em and lil wayne have collabed on but this one is probably my favorite to this day. great song
and yes im aware they have only done like what 3 songs together? but none the less my comment still stands
More Wayne Knox! No ceilings mix tape probably my favorite project of his.
I love this song forever...
I want you to react to *Eminem: Rainman*
Lmao. A song that never gets old. You're definitely the best breakdown..er?
Years later, Eminem gives Lil Wayne the props he deserves with his new song "The ringer" when he says that most rappers copy lil Wayne shows and I'm glad you said that Eminem respects Wayne because he does, just as much as Wayne respects him
