Rapper Reacts to TWENTY ONE PILOTS FOR THE FIRST TIME!! | STRESSED OUT (MUSIC VIDEO) 

What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro support the channel directly and download my new album ‘Chaos Theory’ now 🖤 www.knoxhillmusic.com

Stressed out is one of those songs you didn't really searched for but stumbled upon and it made you a fan of Twenty One Pilots.

Fun fact: NF has said if he could colab with any artist it would be them, and they have been spotted at multiple NF concerts

BlurryFace is a character that Tyler (the singer) created. BlurryFace is a character that represents all of Tyler's insecurities, and everyone else's insecurities.

Whenever Knox doesn't stop every 5 seconds I get worried.

21 pilots have so many songs with such deeper substances. I can’t wait for Knox to dive into this world.

First artist in history to have every song on an album hit at least gold. Then they did it with another album like a month later, all back in 2018 or '19. They're still the only artists to do so to this day. They'll hit their third before anyone else hits 1. They're literally in a league of their own.

You have rappers who can sing You have singers who can rap Then you have Twenty-One Pilots

so: their name is Tyler and Josh (Tyler the vocalist) (Josh drummer) fun fact: these were actually their childhood houses and all the people there were actually their families

Tyler's such an underrated MC cos he's got the full package - storyboards his own beats, chameleons into many genres, can do a mean metal scream, has a dope singing voice, has bars for days (especially on his earlier stuff like 'Forest', 'Kitchen Sink'). He also tackles mental health topics like suicide, depression, and anxiety so tactfully well. TØP's past few albums have also had an overarching interconnected world-building theme around them. Hope you enjoy the twenty one pilots rabbit-hole homie hahah

The student loans and treehouse homes he says we all would take the latter, like the last option, but also a treehouse typically has a ladder

Me writing guitar riffs: "Nope. Beetles did it" "Nope. Stones did it" "Nope, idk who but everyone's done it" *starts playing scales

Man I love that you analyze songs. Not just listen and bop your head. I'm here to hear what you think. "I don't care what's in your hair, I just want to know what's on your mind."

Yeah red is the color scheme for that whole album (""Blurryface"" album). For that album the color red represents a character named "Blurryface", who is his alter ego that represents his insecurities anxieties etc. In this song, that weird demonic voice at end is "Blurryface".

So many good ones from Twenty One Pilots; Chlorine, Migraine, Car Radio, Lane Boy, Guns for hands, Ride

Message Man next please the beat is insane and unorthodox and he raps a lot on it too please like it so he will listen we all wanna see it

“Out of student loans and tree house homes we all would take the latter” is probably one of my favorite rhymes ever written by anyone ever. People want to take the “latter” (ladder) out of student loans, people want to take the “latter” (ladder) that goes to the treehouse, and out of student loans and and tree house homes, everyone would pick the ladder to the tree house. It’s just amazing how this line is both relatable, and how the line has a lot of wordplays going on.

Been wanting somebody to do a breakdown on this song. Let’s go Knox!

"Message man" it's their perfect song for you

Twenty one pilots is truly one of the most versatile bands out there. I can’t wait for you to dive into their discography. They have so much to explore in their music and storyline.

Migraine is one of the best songs by 21 pilots imo Also: the latter ladder double makes that line hit so much harder and i love it

Feel like I’ve been waiting for this my whole life

My favorite artists are the ones who put their insecurities out there for people to see. There's nothing like seeing/hearing someone be their authentic selves.

Ok everyone probably wants him to listen to the obvious songs like lane boy, levitate or car radio. But I want him to react to Ode to Sleep, neon crave stone, and message man.

"out of student loans and tree house homes, we all would take the latter" - that's a double. Take the "ladder" up to the tree house.

I’ve listened to this song countless times but only just got the double with “we would all take the latter” bar because it sounds like ladder as in the ladder to go up to the treehouse. Feel like an idiot for only now getting it 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

"Who is this!? Who is sitting on the bed with the headphones!?"

I was one of the truck drivers on their last tour before the virus hit, I fell in love with their music, and they put on a great show.

You know whats crazy, the whole concept of missing your childhood and things reminding you of your childhood is LITERALLY THIS SONG, THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF MY CHILDHOOD, the whole song is a double entandre

Twenty one Pilots is my favorite band! I've gone to two of their concerts I'm so happy you are reacting to them!!!!!

These are their childhood homes in Columbus and actual families - this song became so popular because of the sound but has good lyrics when people actually listen to it Some good songs to check out Car Radio Lane Boy Ode to Sleep

You're my favorite reactor and twenty one pilots and NF are my favorites musicians and overall people honestly, I don't know what I would do without them and without their music, they mean a lot to me. Having you react to them both means the world to me and I'm so happy and excited that you're finally diving into their world as well. I promise you, you're gonna love it! We appreciate what you do, keep it going man, much love🖤

Yasss, thank you knoxxxxxx! I just recommended this on Saturday stream!!!!!

Twenty One Pilots is on the channel!!!🔥😎Knox doing the handshake!!👐🙌🤝Tropical flavor Capri Sun ALL DAY!!!

Car radio is one of my favorites

I love that you did this song Knox! This made me go through my Apple Music library to make sure all my favorite 21 pilots songs are present and accounted for. Thanks!

I am so glad you made a reaction video to this song it means a lot to me thanks bro

I highly suggest you do migrane by 21 pilots a very underrated song by them

FINALLY!!!!! As a MASSIVE TØP fan (Skele Clique Represent!) I was WAITING for you to dive into the world that is Tyler and Josh! Get ready for a lot of new subs! Whenever TØP is talked about, the clique shows up. Much love Knox! EDIT: Also, Blurryface and Trench are connected albums as they are part of a grand concept design invented by Tyler. There's a whole world he built that's layered into the songs and visuals and to the casual fan, they might not be aware of subtle yet significant lines/meanings in the music.

I love your videos ... The way you process lyrics, all of it !! I never get angry when you paused the MV because I enjoy the way you explained the songs... Greetings from Mexico

I really love how you break things down. I’ve always loved lyrics and really enjoy your creative take on songs, styles and meanings.

OMG! I love this song. I'm a 67 year old BTS Army (my oldest granddaughter showed me the way) so I don't listen to much of your other stuff - but 21 Pilots is in my life a lot because my son and my daughter and their children are big 21 Pilots fans and they converted this old lady. My son bought me the lyrics for Stressed Out in a frame shaped like an old fashion 45rpm record for Christmas. My 9 year old granddaughter was jealous because it's her favourite song! I think 21 Pilots are a lot like BTS because their lyrics are very meaningful and personal and they've helped my son and daughter a lot. Thank you for reacting to this (and to BTS) 💜💜💜

Yay finally some Twenty one pilots!!!!! Hope you’ll do more of their songs in the future because they have a whole storyline to their musics and your breakdowns in their songs would be the absolute besttttttt!!

You dissected this sooo well man, I really enjoyed this video

Thanks knox, Id never heard of this group, and never heard this song before. might have to check their other stuff myself now 💜🇦🇺

NF in his song 'Know': "I'm a little bit TØP, Stressed Out What does that mean? I'm a rap fiend with a bad lead You could run if you want, but you'll never catch me"

“How’s those lies taste” Lol. My thoughts exactly

Finally yes start at blurryface the whole album the songs and the music videos and also understand the dema storyline. A new album is coming out called scaled and icy on may 21st the black paint in his hands and neck represents his insecurities. His neck is his voice and his hands are his writing. He is being controlled by blurryface which is a character that represents all of Tyler’s sadness and anxiety. Red represents in this world blurryface, yellow represents hope, and blue represents failing to find hope. After blurryface react to vessel. Then trench, also you could react to their other albums if you want. There’s way more stuff I have to tell you but if I did that. I would be here for days. The deeper voice also represents blurryface Edit: I’ve been typing and editing for such a long time

if you want to continue with twenty one pilots I highly suggest to go with order to really understand their message and story, so start from their first album, not necessarily self-titled but I'd say at least vessel. You won't regret it they're amazing

So many songs of theirs you could break down. They have some great tracks with lots of depth! Thanks for this.

Thank you for doing this one! I feel you on it hitting hard - it makes me tear up every time since I first heard it when it came out 15 years ago. It paints such a picture of loss and destruction and regret - Kills me that she doesn't even know who he is. These lyrics are real poetic storytelling. Evocative.

YOU ARE THE BEST ! I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS SOOOOOO MUCH ! LOVE YOU

Finallyyyyy omg omg omg omg you, Knox, you just made my day T-T thank you so much

Oh Knox, you going on the 21 pilots journey my G. Get ready to become a major fan. These guys are straight geniuses ✌️

FINALLY I’ve been telling you to react to this band forever. Your channel will get another 100k I promise you

I am commenting to say, great reaction, and yes, those are their parent's houses and the same ones they grew up in Edit: The red eyes and the demonic voice at the end symbolizes Blurryface (AKA, the name of the album, AKA Tyler's insecurity, and depression)

Bro u gotta do twenty one pilots LEVITATE...THAT'S THE JAM! Sick flow on that one

I love how you break down the lyrics and music!

Thank you bro for this reaction. I love your versatility when it comes to sub genres. I felt really relaxed with this reaction. Also, you bring certain things to light that I didn't see for myself when I've heard this song a thousand times. Keep doing what you're doing and stay blessed my brother!

I learned not to look back and despair about the past, there's certainly points in my life when I did that. I stopped once I realized I will be looking back 5 or 6 years from now and feel the same about this exact moment. Never live in the past, the future is what matters. Cheers friends, keep your heads up, life's a bitch for us all.

The lyrical talent of tøp is ridiculously good

Love the genuine reaction and how you break things down that’s what reactions are all about!!!! Continue to be who you are and grow and flourish!!! (New viewer) 💪🏽

I stumbled across this song during my senior year of High School and it was the perfect time for me. Although I had heard and enjoyed some TOP songs previously, this song hit me at the perfect time and got me to dive into their music fully. For me, it speaks to the power and importance of art

Recommendation list in order ( in this order you'll understand concepts of last 2 albums and will be able to see growth of this band): 1st lane : Vessel album - Ode to sleep (music video) - Car radio (music video) + - holding on to you (music video - cuz it's first big video work from TOP) - guns for hands (music video) - migraine (music video or The live room version) - trees (live from fox theater ! - song with one of the biggest meaning for Tyler , he wrote it a looong time ago in high school ) 2nd line : blurryface album - stressed out (music video, huge song that made them so popular right now) + - lane boy (music video) + - ride (live from Fox theater) - hometown (lyrics video) - tear in my heart (music video) - the judge (lyrics video) - fairy local (music video) - message man (lyrics video) - goner (live from fox theatre , ending of the album) - Heavydirtysoul ( music video - this one is the connection to the next album, start of storyline) 3rd line : Trench album - jumpsuit ( music video , connected to hvdrtsl) - nico and the niners (music video, next one in saga) - levitate (music video, next one in saga) - chlorine (music video) - the hype (BOTH, album and Berlin session versions ) - my blood (music video) - pet cheetah (lyrics video) - morph (lyrics video, a bit of connection to storyline) - Heathens ( music video, spin off, not from any album but have a lot of small connections to story) + - neon gravestones (lyrics video, influence to the story) - legend (lyrics video) - bandito (lyrics video,huge connection in storyline) - leave the city ( lyrics video, ending of era ) 4th line (extra) - TOP x Mutemath session - stripped down storyteller session by Tyler - kitchen sink (live version) - House of gold (live room or official video) - Forest (live Newport music hall ) - fall away (feat dr. Blum) - level of concern (official video) - blasphemy, drown (from Tyler's solo project he made in high school) - taxi cab (live SiriusXM) - cut my lip (lyrics video) - Car radio (captured in The live room) - Friend please (lyrics video) - March to the sea (lyrics video) - Trapdoor (lyrics video) - Isle of flightless birds (lyrics video)

Something I really love about this song is the line “Out of student loans and treehouse homes we all would take the latter.” I’ve always seen it as a play on words where the word latter sounds similar to ladder, like a ladder going up to a treehouse.

I love that song still! I hope you feel better soon Knox. Thanks for struggling through for us. Love your reactions and train of thought. Stay real guy ♥️😊

Really enjoyed this one. Please do more TOP reactions!

You missed that finesse part when he sings "Out of student loans and tree house home we always take the *Ladder*" Double meaning.

Fueled by Ramen the producers who made this video always make the best MV’s for countless artists. Another video and song that you should definitely check out is Emperor’s New Clothes by Panic! At the Disco (the third video to the series...if you want to do them all it’s Saturday Night (Say Amen), This is Gospel, and then Emperor’s New Clothes)

Thank you Knox. You made my day.

Forgot how much i love this song!!! Thank you :-)

HEATHENS🖤🖤

Omg keep up the work man! I love it

More TØP please ❤️❤️❤️ love the reaction.. So happy you reacted to one of my favourite artists ❤️

Me -loving OldschoolHipHop and Kpop, but Twenty One Pilots is still my favorite Band: My life is complete now.

No puedo creer que Knox no conocía a TOP !!! Wtf

My man your channel is popping off! Not too long ago i think you were under 100k! GG my man!

Great reaction knox! For sure check out "ode to sleep". Thats what got me in to them years back. Much love bro

Damn I'm early, you might also like Chlorinefrom them.

*NF ft. TWENTY ONE PILOTS* They have to collab cause they have the same voices so they really sound the same if you close your eyes to twenty one pilots and think that NF is rapping it really does sound like nf... 😨😱

i’ve been waiting so long for this :))

I love your music I get lonely literally changed my life I can't thank you enough man chaos theory was nothing but greatness keep up the good work

React to heathens pls Plus the title of song is familiar 😉

Well if we're reacting to Twenty One Pilots now, then Heavydirtysoul should be next 😂

Loved this you should definitely do more Twenty One Pilots!!! Long time sub, love the reactions!

Oh man bro you’ve just peeked into this amazing artist so many deeper songs!!

I can’t believe you missed the ladder and latter punchline when he was talking about tree house and student loans.

I love this song. Please do Chlorine. I am dying for someone to break that one down. 😀

Great breakdown, as always 🔥 hope you feel better soon

Fake You Out, Car Radio, Ode to Sleep and Ride are just a few twentyone pilot songs that are just so good, I’m obsessed. I’d love to see you do deep dives on them!

Josh drumming skills not being appreciated 😭

Should hit Leo's metal version of this song. It's on Point

You nailed the handshake man!👍😁 You're awesome!!

Another great reaction! 😊 Thank you!

ive been listening to top for 10 years and now my favorite reacter is reacting to them??? yesssssssss

I'm in love with twenty one pilots, I have been for years. Their music resonates with me on a different level. The songs are beautiful and have a great depth to them.

IM SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU START IN ON TØP, they actually are one of NFs favourite artists and we mayyyy see a collab in the future 👀🤞

I only found your videos a week ago and have watched a ton of your ERB and Eminem break downs. They're so good! I was sad to see you didn't have any Twenty One Pilots breakdowns, since they're one of my favorite bands, and Tyler's lyrics are so emotional and have a lot of deeper meaning. Loved hearing your take on this song. Some other songs of theirs you should break down: Lane Boy Levitate Heavydirtysoul Ode to Sleep Morph Message Man Neon Gravestones Ride Holding on to You Migraine Car Radio Fake You Out Nico and the Niners Kitchen Sink Be Concerned

"Out of student loans and tree house homes we all would take the latter (ladder)." I love the double word play there. One of the cleverest, simplest wordplays in a song I've ever heard.

Ride.... that's a great song. Super hyped ❤️🤩❤️ I became a fan with that song.
