Tracks from his early stuff - the Freckled Angels cd. 1) Do You Believe - an amazing conversation with his future self 2) Dear God 3) live solo version of Freckeld Angels
Ren was in tears on twitch when he saw all the reactions uploaded within minutes of the new track dropping. And then dropped in to your review to watch it - he really enjoyed your breakdown. Class act man - both of you.
Can we get him to upload his reactions on YT like Ronnie does. I don't have time to watch his Twitch sadly so it would be awesome for there to be highlights
You had 750 of us watching your reaction video with Ren on Twitch! Loved it! ❤🔥Ren had very high praise for your ability to not miss a thing in your breakdowns.
Would have loved to see him watch the whole video but he had made his friends wait for way longer than he planned. He’s proper impressed by everything you catch. It’s never fails to amaze me what you’re able to catch, love your reactions.
His raps are like the world's longest Haikus - not a single word that isn't meticulously thought out and intentional. Your analyses always highlilght these, and it shows us almost a behind the scenes look into Ren's mind, exposing the layers upon layers of what he was likely thinking. Kudos to both of you, and thanks
Meet Lupe Fiasco song Ms Murial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_ZrLMjpGbho.html Now that's loaded. The guy is another level linguistically.
I too LOVE and greatly appreciate Knox's analysis only reason I watch but it's NOT a look "into Ren's mind" as large language models LLMs don't have a "mind", well not in the biased humanistic egocentric view of we being special conscious more than the machinations of a mechanistic machine. It is rather Knox's interpretation based on heaps of things but critically trust and an assumption that all of REN is human.
Ren was watching your reaction live on twitch man.... He also said he has 13 more songs to drop from his upcoming album. The next one is called "animal flow" I can't wait!!!
I saw a little tease of him doing Animal Flow, I didn’t know if he was going to release it. YES!!!!!!! It’s going to be sick. The beat and the flow are amazing
Your the only reactor, who breaks it down in ways that are worth hearing, you get all the cultural/pop, hip hop references. Your way of breaking down the technical stuff so well, makes you the best reactor to the hip hop based material from Ren!
Congrats!!!!! Ren just hyped you so much. Loves your dissection of his videos. Says you're spot on. He was smiling listening to your comments. He didn't want to stop but had to cut it short to go celebrate his birthday with his friends. I'm sure he'll watch it all later. Hope he's having as much fun on his birthday as we are.
George Orwell's " Animal Farm" vibes with the masks...Pink floyds " pigs" vibes with the pig..."A clockwork orange" vibes with the bat and white clothes...and the beat is bonkers! Love this
I never listened to rap (f73) mainly because I rarely understood a word of it. Until I started listening to Ren. and you are just an amazing person to watch/listen to break things down with such intelligence. Thank you both.
I'm so glad you've jumped on this as soon as it dropped... as someone who has never appreciated rap music after discovering Hi Ren your reactions and breakdowns of Rens videos have helped me seriously appreciate how clever rap music really is especially the wordplay.... your amazing at helping people understand and appreciate the music ❤
Take a little time for Sam who makes these videos with Ren. What a brilliant job he does. There's a small budget but better than a lot of videos that cost ridiculous amounts of money. The editing on this is on point. Great job Sam & Ren👍👍
I'm not a fan of rap (58 year old metal head), but I'm intrigued by REN and love how you explain the mechanics of the music and rhymes. Thanks for helping me expand my horizons!
@Knox Hill You and other Reactors had Ren in Tears on his Twitch Stream when he saw the Love he was getting, and how fast Reactors were posting their Reactions, he really appreciates all you do and watched some of your Reaction on his Stream, Thank You Sir always Love your Breakdowns
I am a big Ren fan but found I like your music, as well. Never did I imagine at nearly 60 yrs old I'd like hip hop but DAMN. I love how technical you get in your production analysis. It just validates the brilliance of Ren's talent. You, sir, have a new subscriber.
Not gonna lie, I've seen a few of your reaction videos and you're so in depth and insightful I thought you'd definately watched them 10 times before you "reacted". But you did this quickly and as always was just as insightful, so I apologise and I'll subscribe.
Knox Hill is my GO-TO for breaking down the schemes, and educatiing me in the often times illusive meanings in Ren's Rap style. Thanks for making Rap more enjoyable for this old man.
You’re actually kind of a music genius in your own right. You know exactly what you’re talking about and break down every single bit of a song. Been a fan for awhile now. 🖤🖤🖤
you already know from a bunch of comments that Ren watched a good portion of your reaction before he had to run to hang with his friends for his birthday… and he had so many wonderful and complimentary things to say about you. especially how you caught all the things he was doing with the production of the track. i felt oddly like a proud older sister listening to someone praise her baby bro 🥹 you should totally reach out to him about doing a collab.
As a non native speaker i really appreciate how you point out all the references and double meanings without being over explanatory, leaving room for everybody to roam their own associations.
Seriously all you YTubers making reactions rock. The huge way you're helping push Ren (and others Chinchilla, Romain and Sam etc) is amazing. Massive props Knox, you got it on point. Much respect from Melbourne Australia🙏🌏💙
I absolutely love how you are able to really catch everything and break it down. Had to subscribe especially after watching Ren on Twitch be so excited when you reacted to his track. Very cool!
Bro, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVED this reaction! You really got every scheme he was saying, caught more than I did in the first few listens. Heard he watched your reaction on Twitch too and enjoyed it also! I will go check that out myself too next. Wish you all the best from one musician to another, sadly I too am very sick... but I'm making the best of it in my own ways!
I've recently found Ren and loved his stuff! I really enjoy these reactions/breakdowns, especially to the faster rapping where I struggle to catch everything on my own ^^ Thanks for a great job dude!
I couldn't wait to watch you break this one down! I just got done listening to it. I also want to tell you that I love your music as well. I never really tried looking into it until I heard the song at the beginning of one of your previous videos and I had to check you out. You've got Great music by the way! And as always, Ren made a phenomenal piece of art
I really appreciate your analysis, not only are you highlighting what is the special thing about all of the different rhymes for people like me that never thought about the rhyme schemes of a good flow, but also you are obviously a really intelligent guy with great general education and a lot of empathy. And you also seem to be an idealistic man that values integrity, fairness and truth much more than materialistic things, getting just as excited as i did when Rens answer was "fuck no!" to the question if he doesn't want to be rich in the lyrics of"sick boi". I feel it's rare to find people that really stand for their beliefs even if it would be sometimes be beneficial to betray them, most people claim to want justice until they are in advantage of some injustice, you come across llike someone that opportunity wouldn't make a thief. I'm really happy the RU-vid algorithm introduced me to artists like you and Ren.
after watching this premiere (insane chat levels almost 9k in that room) I was watching Ren reacting to this live on twitch stream, showing you some love - you just gained a new subscriber #knoxhill #illestofourtime #Ren #RENtity
Hey Knox, if not, you should have mentioned that his video came out on his 33rd birthday. He was inspired by the sound of the retro game street of rage. good breakdown ❤
ren was live streaming his reaction to your reaction on twitch he just left about 15 mins ago to celebrate his b day ..he made them wait so he could see you catch his tricks :)
