Rapper Reacts to Eminem - Darkness!! | HE CROSSED THE LINE?! (FULL BREAKDOWN) 

@@myrakimbrough6612 did you get your lego?

ikr he catches almost every bar on these crazy songs. and idk how he has so small amount of views, i think he doesnt know how to target the reconmmendation on youtube yet, that why he hasnt EXPLODE on sub yet.

It annoys me how you write your sentances

I agree. I've watched a lot of reviews on this song and no one has caught nearly as much as what Knox did. First time watching a review from him and I'm really impressed.

I’m going to disagree with you. I think this is the most disingenuous reaction I’ve ever seen to any song by any reactor. It’s pretty clear that he knew the entire song front to back before this video. I only made it about five minutes through the video but with the disclaimer at the beginning and then to act like he doesn’t know where it’s going with bullets and Las Vegas, maybe he’s just a moron?

Wow, now that is one hell of a compliment. Thank you 🙌

Definitely yes!

Definitely

I knew there was a reason this reaction is so powerful, and one I like to watch back so much, when it comes to this song... Now I realise you're right. Em would be proud of this reaction and breakdown

​@@KnoxHillknox my brother between spittin bars and breaking them down you're killing it bro, great reaction love the passion you break down the music with.

😅🤣 ah irony of Em.

That's probably what made him come up with that bar.

@@Andy_Classic ......... he wrote the bar before he was in the news soooo, HOW could that have inspired him..... if, it hadn't happened yet?

@@MC_kalCM because he was regularly in the paper for shit he said lol you not see the crusade against the man when he first came out?

@@iwinrar5207 .... no sh*t, turd ..., but LITERALLY..., the very next day after this video/song came out, it was all over the news due to the song talking about mass shootings & gun control.

Thanks for pointing these out man and for adding even further to the dissection! Great points that I 100% agree with. Appreciate you and the support 🙌

Chris R, I thought when it shows him walking on stage in front of the crowd that maybe it meant that the shooter got what he wanted and is now famous or a celebrity if you will. I could be totally wrong though, that was just my first thought.

also, i believe that people thought he went too far is because, in contrast to other times in his discography, this wasn't some name drop, this was dragged out vivid description of the event, but in this light that somewhat humanises the decision taken tldr: its a long and masterful vivid description, opposed to his older name drops

Jesus Christ. This explanation is legendary. It opened my eyes to that part. Eminem is beyond genius

I ALSO would say JUST HIS KNOWLEDGE AND FACTS ALSO that swirl around in Eminem’s head about Curtis Jackson’s life (“50 Cent’s) and movie about it. BECAUSE HE WAS THERE and close by to KNOW when it happened, AND ACTUALLY ASK “50” some questions AMD DO THE RESEARCH ON IT. Cause look how much research he did on ALL that at the end etc AND 50 was shot ON STAGE ALSO when he WALKED OUT to the crowd that he had ZERO knowledge who shot him at the time or ANYONE could have until they got the guy AND it was TO AN UNREGISTERED THUG out to get him WITH NO KNOWLEDGE that dude was out to get him AND 50 BARELY hung on for so long and I imagine because I’ve listened to SOMUCH ON HIM, BY HIM, AND ABOUT that particular incident and MY KNOWLEDGE of LITERALLY almost being pronounced dead at a car wreck scene AND I SLIPPED IN & out of consciousness. Just TONS & TONS I could relate to with ALL OF THIS. BUT I IMAGINE “50” probably has said something about the darkness and trying to stay alive. AND PROOF!!!! Except he died. BUT YES Eminem has TONS in his head of crazy thoughts to write til he is 80 lie he says in “Higher”. He is SO BRILLIANT HE NEEDS TO BE STUDIED IN A LITERATURE CLASS AND his brain when he dies needs to go to research seriously (BUT HOPE HE IS ALIVE TO A 💯). After listening to Knox and HIS thoughts & sitting down and RE-WATCHING this WITH the official video not the lyrics only. I 💯 % have a TOTALLY DIFFERENT TAKE AFTER my 1st initial reaction. I don’t think and didn’t that Eminem is against guns BUT WANTS MORE COMPLETE AWARENESS TO ALL SIDES!!!!!!! He knows his bodyguard’s have to have them etc and friends BUT he can see ALOT more than just your average person WITH HIS LIFE EXPERIENCES & knowledge all around him. He is amazing. AND @Knox Hill DO NOT ROAST ME OR THINK “Oh Lord........tons of run on sentences” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. I am on a call just sitting SO I DON’T have THE TIME to put all the punctuation and write properly. I actually have a REAL EXCUSE that is good NOT LACK OF CORRECT English knowledge. ACTUALLY THE OPPOSITE & me & calls now (for others.....🚒🚑 1st Responder) I MIGHT let some comments slide IF I can at least read them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. BUT I DO laugh at what runs through your head (Knox) when you see mine. Like “Oh gracious it is about to be long” 🤣🤣🤣 I’m just glad I had some time to type this one out. AND READ a few comments. THANK YOU KNOX for ALL YOU DO TOO!!!!!!!! We need more of YOU ALSO!!!!!!!! Oh and P.S. You meant 2nd Amendment not 5th.......had to say something cause I can’t believe how many in your comment section didn’t catch or know that one you ACCIDENTALLY said wrong cause I know you know the difference just didn’t catch yourself. WE NEED BOTH AMENDMENTS!!!!! Awesome breakdown for my 2nd time like I said where I got to WATCH with the video. Ok back to watching this scene (AND TO OTHERS......I AM ON A CALL NOT WORKING ONE......IM HAVING TO WAIT until I am needed THEN I DROP EVERYTHING)

Ah that’s right bro! Great point

I think in Faceoff too he is shot by a Castor Troy and stays alive by inches

Small point. Saying alive is the theme song of the movie saturday night fever

@@rickbuter9339 Thank you. BeeGees song Stayin Alive. Travoltas breakthrough role, according to many people, was Tony Manero from Saturday Night Fever. There's also "try vault uh". People vaulting over walls, fences, cars... Anything. Just to hide from the shooter.

Staying Alive (1983) is the sequel to Saturday Night fever. Both starring Travolta

Heisenberg Agree! The ONLY reactor that caught the media to magazine connection.

@@carolpalmer512 naa you guys should check out the breakdown by On standby...that's far more better than this

@@carolpalmer512 and they caught the magazine connection as well and some other ones this guy missed

must see the ScriptWork react

I'm sorry for doing this but here is the best reaction.. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E9Uwk-BC2uA.html

OK, I didn't think so, thanks for clarifying.

I saw it the day it was released. I saw it.

David Dusbiber Yeah, came to say this, thought I was tripping-wonder if he would have caught the double entendre of this song as quickly without the warning 🤔 but I loved his breakdown regardless

Kinda ruins the reactions in my opinion. I always liked seeing when the reactors exactly what em was doing. Legit only reason I watch darkness resctions

David Dusbiber true ! I was surprised 🤷🏻‍♀️

I thought it was that meme song

@@mecha103himanshubaware3 that’s what the meme song was bro

@@mecha103himanshubaware3 That is the meme song, The Sound Of Silence. It's such a wonderful song, so beautiful, yet is known more a meme song, sadly.

@@deepaparakkal4241 Dont think thats true for most people tbh, i dont even what meme your on about

@@JakeMcb it is definitely seen as a meme rather than a song

Not today bro. I’ve already done two songs from this album and I know I got to be on point to deal with Em lol 💪

Knox Hill

even I got it and I was more or less listening casually

Gian Sieger this dude is annoying haha

Only him n one other youtuber got it......n both r doin gr8 breakdowns....cheers!

Definitely a master peice, annoys me when people say certain rappers are goats, that word is thrown around to easy, u have rappers like jay-z who rap single syllables and then u have Em who just bends the entire language but is often overlooked. Noone has to work hard anymore to be deemed the greatest. I feel u have to earn it!!

@@Where_has_the_sanity_gone 1 hundred percent bro i dont think jay z is top 20

@cy06 agree. I have all his albums and I've really, really tried to like him but he's just, elementary. He only blew up because of his beef with Nas and marrying Beyonce, unfortunately he's known as a lyrical rapper, don't know why when u have the likes of Tech9, Eminem, Dax, Busta Rhymes, Crooked I, to name a few but Jay, Nah, he's top 5 because people just follow the crowd. Lyrically Tupac shouldnt be top 5 either, he's a Black icon yes, but not a lyrical rapper. The dude was half actor, half gangster

@@Where_has_the_sanity_gone i think 2pac is top 5 because of his rhymeschemes alliteration track prescence cadence word placement flow shit like that hes not top 5 lyrically but if you combine everything hes gotta be top 5

@@Where_has_the_sanity_gone Dax? ok thats a good one... Being a complex lyrical genius isnt the be all end all, the reason so many have Pac in their top 5 is because of the story telling aspect, his conscious hip hop concepts, his voice and delivery and his messages and impact on the culture. Being lyrical isnt the onlt variable in the GOAT discussion

ROARraps more like the whole song

Facts

But this is Marshall

No one wants this pos anti gunner bullshit. 🖕em

@@jeremymcintyre7812 🖕u too

@@jeremymcintyre7812 nobody wants death

why do that when you can slur a luxury brand name repeatedly?

@@neomp5 I got that

You mean, 99% of *mainstream* rappers. Most the meaningful talent and messages are shadow banned by mainstream media because they are actively trying to dumb people down.

Tom McDonald (very political!!) Dax (emotional & uplifting) NF (story & flow) Ren (unique art & deep) All brilliant, but 'underrated' by the sheeple.

​@@herculesmclovin Not underrated, just people don't listen to them as much as someone like Eminem who people relate to.

Ah, didn’t know that so thanks for sharing! It’s a dope sample. Great production on this track 👍

@@KnoxHill check that song out its great you should listen to distubed's cover to that song even the simon agreed that disturebed's version was better

Sound of silence is the name of the song. 👍

@@KnoxHill royce da 5'9 produced this song. fun fact.

@@satyrcreekergang4985 oo thanks for correcting me

Lol well try this one.... U will change ur mind

m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E9Uwk-BC2uA.html

Lmao. You’re right. It’s just a part of my format for the videos but yes, I’m definitely the inferior one in this relation and should be trying to be certified by him 🤣🙌

no,Of course Em No Need that reaction,most things i broke alone,at first 1-2 listenings.. anyway,good job..

Ah man how could I forget that! Been so long since I’ve seen the movie but man, great connection. Definitely works that way as well 🙌

I dont think thats how it went. I watched the movie a looong time ago, but i specifically remember the moment when there was a standoff and the other guys took his family as hostage and had a gun to their head telling Keyser to give up his business. Instead Keyser shot his own kids and wife. I think what em ment here is brutality of a man like Keyser. edit: you are actually right. he did commit a genocide. :D /watch?v=EdeCPGNRjOU

@@emin87i It's all good. Brutality and evil was what I was aiming at too.

I think Soza is also a reference to the fact that he has just revealed the plot twist, as well. That movie was one of the first I remember to have such an insane plot twist. You think he's one person the entire movie and he turns out to be someone else just as you may think the guy in the hotel is Em the whole video, right up to the moment of the reveal. So I think it deals more with the fact that it was a plot twist/identity reveal.

@@n0tmynameanym0re Good call. It annoys me how many levels Eminem has in his lines lol.

so the first track you heard was FACK? Lucky You.

@@shubhamkandpal4775 Tbh it was the intro with its last words : here's a song for the ladies...and fack comes up ;) :D

Appreciate that. Thanks for taking the time to comment and support 🙌

@@maxxotwotimes3556 TF

As a person who listened to the audio first, I was just absolutely confused, especially with him just pulling out the guns out of nowhere, and begin shooting people. The video lets the shock and surprise actually happen. The audio is so abrupt, it's still shocking, but it stuns you.

Never noticed that. It could also be paying homage to Pulp Fiction and the bag in that that you only see light coming out.

Thanks man I’ll put it on my list!

Yes, I had not seen it before. Sort of ruins the "surprise" but I guess it is hard to have not heard what the song is about by now.

👀👀 WHAT?! Why am I the reactor that this had to happen to lol. Wish I could’ve watched it now without the warning

@@KnoxHill because youre 2 weeks late^^

@@KnoxHill It was very interesting to see which reactors caught on quickly and which ones did not realize until the man took off the hood. There are many hints but since everything is a double, understandably not everyone connected the dots. I'm pretty sure I did not the first time I saw the video.

Yup. It wasn’t there day 1 or 2 or 3 lol. Idk when it got added either.

Up

Ah, what a great sample and song. Thanks for sharing the insight. And appreciate it, welcome to the team 🙌🙏

Welcome to the team 🙌 Thanks for supporting

It will be next 🙌

Also, this is the best breakdown of this song by far. You're amazing man.

Appreciate you brotha 🙌

You're aware of the movie "Stayin Alive" though right? Directed by Sly Stallone, starring John Travolta. I can see why you might correlate it with Pulp Fiction though, with the unloaded pistol that misses both of them, one of my all time favs.

@@jayd5081 Are you thinking of this perhaps?- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Fever

Prettzx... The movie Stayin Alive from 1983 is a sequel to the first one, Saturday Night Fever, from 1977. Its title itself is a reference. It was named after the song from the first one. Why do you argue against it by posting the Wikipedia article that states our point? That's like shooting yourself in the foot. No. Both feet.

My favorite is the best.... Check him out m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E9Uwk-BC2uA.html

Man, appreciate the insight and perspective on this. I think you’re right in relation to Em’s point, and everyone has a tipping point - it’s just depends on how much weight and burdens you pile on their shoulders and the support system they have. Anyways, thanks for supporting the channel bro 💯

Wrong, your gun control has never and will never stop violence. Theres no guns in prison dose any one in prison get murdered?

@@KnoxHill, bull it's a scam to remove the right of the people to keep and bare arms. 20,000 gun laws in America, doing the same thing and expecting a diffrent result is the definition of insanity.

Jeremy McIntyre There’s no guns in England with gun control and there’s no mass shootings and very low gun violence. Same with Germany, same with Norway, same with many other countries. You can make all the arguments you want for guns, I’m just saying if we really want it to stop maybe we should look at the examples of others who’s citizens don’t need guns yet they feel much safer than ourselves

@@KnoxHill, no they do not feel safer London still has many massacres. 4 since 1980 and 9 in great Britain. The murder and violent crime rate has, increased every year since 2015. USA today claims in 2018 London has more crime than NYC. We have all ready tried gun control it dosent work. But gun freedom does but no one talks about that. Funny how the states and cities with less gun control have less crime and less violence. Funny how no one talks about 1 million lives saved from violence and murder by firearms each year. Your comparison is not good because firearm rights do not exist anywhere in the world. Except US, and maybe Switzerland which requires its citizens be armed. Yet has the lowest murder rate in the world, Honduras has 100% gun bands and has the highest murder rate in the world. You gun control doesn't work, there is no real stat you can provide that will ever change that.. The right to defend yourself is very important and apart of America that make us the best country in the world. We do not look to the old world for new world answers, the old world looks to us. I will and in time I will win because our founding fathers was right in 1776 and it is still right today. It being necessary to sustain a free state the right of the people to keep and bare arms shall not be infringed. You do not have the right to take away the rights of others, and you can no convict citizens of crimes they have not committed.

Appreciate you 💯

Shaq ain’t know as the best in breaking down. Scriptwork is.

@@jaysjourney7351 the best m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E9Uwk-BC2uA.html

@@jaysjourney7351 ✌️😊

Hey...how can I join the US military I'm in Nigeria

Ohhh, you know Marshall??? Or where does he discuss this at any length?

@@jayd5081 No I don't know Marshall but I do live in Detroit and I have a relative who owns a gun range that him and his crew have been to a few times, also if you listen to the lyrics of the song he talks about the shooter being locked and loaded for fire spitt'n, the loss the sky's the limit, so my supplies infinite, strapped like I'm a solider.

Terry Thomas - and I’m completely against someone telling me I can’t have “high powered military weapons and unlimited supply of ammo”.. that would be my right, not privilege, and it’s non-negotiable.

@@BrockNessMonster1991 I have a CPL and conceal carry everywhere but I dont see the need to have a Military style assault rifle with no limit on ammo. It's your right. I just hope you never have a child or family member who's a sitting duck to one of those.

Terry Thomas - I hear ya and I respect your opinion, but an AR-15 is not an assault rifle, just a small caliber semi-auto rifle. It’s esthetics doesn’t change its function. It works just like your CCW, or a Ruger 10/22, or a wood stock mini 14. Unfortunately very few people own actual “assault rifles” (and we should be able to), and little to no crime is committed with them. And considering handguns are responsible for far more deaths per year than all rifles combined, someone would be much more likely to be a victim to that. Which is why more good guys should be carrying, so hopefully there’s someone with a gun nearby that can stop them. The 2nd amendment is clear and the 20,000 current laws are already an infringement. We have that right for a reason, and it doesn’t include hunting or sport.

That's what I said! It's crazy! Em is a fkn genius!

notice how it also keeps switching between two very different beats. a slick modern trap-like beat and an old school sampled drum loop sounding like it's played off a vinyl. kind of a cue that you're listening to two different songs
