Has Eminem seen Knox Hill's reaction videos?

there's no doubt that Eminem is one of the greatest MCS of all time with his Elite word play Punch lines flows bars for days so many reactors have tried to explain and try to break their heads breaking down the genius that is them which then begs the question has Eminem seen reaction channels what's going on YouTube we are back with a special special one today now listen you guys have been hitting me up with an interview that M did talking about reaction channels and a lot of you have been connecting these dots and coming up with this Theory and pointing to me that Eminem has seen my reactions well you know what let's dive into this one there's a certain there's a certain kind of fan that will get that and there's a certain kind of thing it might just be the average listener who doesn't you know they like hip-hop and it and it sounds good something sounds good to them right but they might not understand exactly what we're doing how dope it is yeah but well but but that's what's dope about those reaction videos the bane of being a uh Lyricist in today's era that's for sure how dope it is yeah but well but but that's what's dope about those reaction videos and also the the people who break down the lyrics and they show you like okay he was hitting these syllable schemes right here every single syllable there's five syllables there or seven right and he was hitting these right here and he started a new syllable scheme rhymed with that syllable scheme and then came back at the end and rhymed with you know what I'm saying and I think that that helps people like what I gotta play that back what he was hitting these right here and he started a new syllable scheme rhymed with that syllable scheme and then came back at the end and rhymed with the you know we've done enough Eminem videos right and you guys know when I do these reactions a little bit of story time here when I first got started I definitely thought I was a risk because there wasn't that many like reaction channels that sat there and broke things down in terms of like flow in terms of rhyme writing in terms of the multi-syllabic schemes and the technicals and I just felt like maybe I can do something different as an MC and kind of bring like a different perspective into sort of my deep Dives and there's definitely risk because at the time all the big reaction channels they were doing like six seven minute videos I'm sat here doing like 20 30 one hour you know eye gouging breaking it down until I'm exhausted Eminem reactions because there's just so much to unpack and talk about and I'm like are people actually going to be interested in this you know it was definitely a time when I was super uncertain about what was happening but obviously fast forwarded now to the fan base that we do have to the level that we're at and it's paid off but I'm sat here right now trying to think like what other big reaction channels sit there and talk about the rhyme patterns in that way well he started off in like this four-syllable scheme and then he switched to a seven syllable scheme there's really not many people out there I would say that are counting syllables it's me right is it me do you think that Eminem has seen my reaction videos because I have reaction videos of his that are in the millions of view counts you know I've I've probably got at least five to ten million views from my Eminem videos alone I'd like to think that there's a pretty good probability given how highly viewed they are how much I sit here and talk about the technicals and the rhyme writing like that to that level because again there's a lot of people that break down the bars and they sit there they get all excited they hype up the bars but to me that's only just one facet and one asset of mcing and what you bring to the table that's why I feel like I just like beat people's heads into when I make like these weird sounds pointed out like a b c Rhymes and I go oh to ask games and stuff like that and I sound like a baby like just drooling over stuff but there's a reason for it because I appreciate the art and the craft that goes into it and it's still something that I just don't see a lot of people talking about which makes me kind of go hang on a second are the cards lined up here do we have Eminem sat at home chilling on the couch putting Knoxville on the big screen I don't know what do you guys think and the thing is too we've had Royce to five nine come out in an Instagram interview and he was asked about Knox Hill and Royce's immediate knee-jerk response was isn't that the uh the white dude that does all the Eminem breakdowns and the reactions so Royce to five nine who we know is in m0 all the time who talks to m all the time surely there's one degree of separation there from Royce to M to sing my videos also I gotta mention the elephant in the room that the dude sat here interviewing Eminem this dope ass MC on the right hand side is also the same MC that was on this we hit the blacks and we did but some [Music] so I've got a track with none other than Ken crooked himself which is still absolutely surreal like I'm just I'm blessed to be in this situation to be in this moment right now I have Royce the five nine who's aware of me so you have two people that have been close with them have been in touch with them a lot and then you have em himself talking about reactors who break down the technicals who talk about the art of MC and I'm just wondering people I'm just wondering if the stars are lining up right now I mean there's a reason why you guys keep sending me this interview why you guys keep asking me to react to this very interview right here what I'm saying and I think that that helps people like really to understand the genius yeah zoning off of one joint stop in the limo hop in the window yeah the how to rhyme I just don't give a please don't demonetize me Susan actually wait Susan's gone isn't she what am I gonna do with my life hop in the window shop in the demo a good point yeah the outer Rhymes are two syllables the inner Rhymes are five syllables okay that's in my opinion what makes you one of the greatest of all time yeah but one joint gun Point that's the two syllables he's talking about hop out a window cop in a limo shopping a demo that's a five syllable scheme he's talking about right so you got the external two syllables in the internal fives just sandwiched in seven syllables how you doing you get that at the dollar menu from McDonald's syllables yeah that's in my opinion what makes you one of the greatest of all time yeah but that's to me my opinion back to you because when we did the what the [ __ ] was it my house like this is this me and Royce joke about this [ __ ] all the time we're like [ __ ] Crooks with me on this song all right but uh but we and that's the beauty of it man when you get top lyricists on the track like they definitely push each other's pens they bring the best out of each other about that [ __ ] all the time because it's like uh you and him to me make verses that even if you laid them first they're untoppable so it's like I can only hope to tie at best that's because that's a big compliment from you that's a hell of a compliment but bro when you did the in my house the lights out the utilities in the facility physical life out to wipe out I forgot the next machine but it would utilities and if like he was rhyming all that right like that [ __ ] was like in the and and and being able to keep it going like that's what I think a lot of a lot of the average listeners sometimes might not understand that we the this you know because some people don't catch the syllables they think that we're you know rhyming you know my house the lights out Utilities in the facility like house rhymes and out Rhymes right they're not catching the full scheme yeah yeah they're not catching yeah it's more than just n Rhymes and that is just something that is incredibly difficult to do you hear some rappers do it where they might punch in they might have like a very Sleek maybe like multi-syllable five six seven syllable scheme right but they can only carry that for maybe like two bars and then they get out of it and they find something else and we've broken down crooked eye songs we've broken down Eminem songs where like they will take a scheme like that and they will carry it through an entire verse hell sometimes they'll carry a scheme like that through an entire song which is just technically the master class of that is at a whole new level because it just UPS the degree of difficulty when you have to find so many different sounds that have to fit together to do such a complex scheme while still making sense while still having word play while still having punch lines while still storytelling as well I mean it really is another level of just like upper echelon of rhyme writing now my house lights out wipe out like like there's two there but then there's Utilities in the facility the same thing it's like that's the that's the beauty to me of The Craft of MC you know saying like is that that's important to you hell yeah yeah because it's it's and I know it's important to you because it's what makes rap fun right right so sometimes we might not we might not have a we might we might be in the mood to like not even not to write a song that might not have a message to it might not really be saying anything that's important right but it's more about the craft and we're just trying to go as hard as we can go you know and and I think that is that's just the heart and soul of being a true MC and really loving what you do and really trying to push your pen to its limits because you know you could turn around and regurgitate a song with much simpler schemes and write it a lot quicker when you lock into a sound and lock into a scheme that you really want to carry out like it's gonna it's gonna test your brain it's gonna push you to your limits of your creativity of your ability to think about sounds and how they blend and how they mold together in a one did that you know what's also very interesting is obviously a lot of Eminem interviews that I've seen he's not always as serious because you know he likes to joke he likes to satire he likes his dark humor so it's really dope that he's like sat down and it's almost like sitting in in MC's class with Eminem right now as he talks about the technicals in these different facets is what makes it fun right is being able to you you know when you thought of it hey bro let's go ahead for Dead Presidents yeah you feel something right when you when you think and even set that up but like John Wilkes in the booth and then the Abra I go ham I mean that was just that was on another level of that scheme man oh [ __ ] that's kind of yeah okay yeah yeah all right let me let me figure this out let me sit down with this scheme and figure it out but that's that's to me man is the beauty of uh hmm of this I I agree with that I think sometimes like as an emcee like you just have a line right you have a bar and you just know that it's just it's gonna fly over people's heads but the ones that do get it they're gonna be like how the hell did you come up with that and you know once you like lock in one of those bars and it just hits you in that moment you have like that golden moment like there's there's no greater feeling to me there's no greater sort of rush there's no greater validation when you're in the process of creating music but at the same time too like you come up with a dope ass line like that and it puts so much more pressure on you because you're like all right I got this locked in now I need to build around this and make sure that the rest of this strengthens that line and strengthens these punch lines that I'm carrying and I just think overall what you get from this is just that love of what he does from Eminem I mean the way that his eyes light up how passionate he gets talking about this stuff you you can see why he's been in the game as long as he has why he has that longevity why he hasn't gone you know what I've had all the success I've had all this Fame I'm good nah he's still he's still got that fire and even crooked eye as well and the longevity that he is at how long he's been around going all the way back man to the days of the West coast East Coast rivalry to the park days crooked eye was there you know you have another OG just sat in the room and I wish I could just be like a fly on the wall when these two get together and these two talk is so surreal but yeah I mean what do you what do you guys think about this do you think that Marshall Mathers himself has seen a Knoxville reaction and maybe maybe one day we will get a shout out from Eminem if we do I don't know that might be the end of the channel like that's just like a life goal consummated what the [ __ ] am I having sex with him I don't know anyways I
