So basically he's a one hit wonder and is bitter about it.

0:19 "Even when the games are shit" *shows video of Sonic Heroes* 🤔

Can't believe Hunnid P tried to take credit for all of Knuckles' amazing rap skills smh

"I sense it in my feet" Echidnas sense electricity, Knuckles' emerald radar is a genuine scientific fact.

"I ain't gonna let it get to me, I'm just gonna creep" Looks like he did both.

I too, even liked the one where he turned into a werewolf

If I recall, Knuckles was originally intended to be Jamaican when Sega first came up with his concept. Now, if they had stuck with that idea, could you imagine reggae songs for Knuckles' stages in SA2?

I never knew that the rap songs from the knuckles stages were considered meme worthy. I always thought they're amazing, and the fact that the lyrics talk about the levels and the knuckles character is unironically really cool.

I feel like it's still fine to enjoy his music, especially since he doesn't get any royalties lmao

Funniest thing about this video is that the one thing I took from this was that John Carpenter likes Sonic.

Incidentally, the hiphop vocalist who did Knuckles' SA1 song was Dred Foxx, who was also the voice of Parappa the Rapper, and he had his own incident of drama and extortion, though not to the extent of Hunnid-P's. It spawned my absolute favorite neogaf thread of all time, "Parappa the Rapper told me to drop dead," in which the OP talks about how he extorted him and a friend out of money, and proceeded to try to take them to court.

Ryan can still do the voice, he was just put on the spot. He sounds great in the Emi Jones project.

“Knuckles says the N Word”was a pretty controversial music piece,though.

I definitely don't think Hunnid-Pacent will be chuckling after he sees this video.

He could’ve been a good independent rapper making Jazzy/Lo-fi type song with a fan base built around Sonic fans and Hip Hop fans discovering him over time. Too bad he messed it up…

They made the rap songs in Knuckles’ stages sound so good I swear. Especially Pumpkin Hill.

He's taking the whole 'just gonna creep' that seriously, huh. His ego let it get to him. At least he proved he's not chicken, I guess.

damn

that's actually pretty embarrassing to be acting up like that more than a decade later. lmao the songs still slap, but like definitely because the track behind the lyrics is what carries it. meteor herd is my fave

"hey rouge, she sexy and smooth" I new there was something going on between them

There's nothing wrong with having rap and hip hop in sonic lol, the series always had a variety of musical genres

I guess the only people chuckling after this is sega I was just listening to pumpkin hill. Sorta disappointing to know the guy behind it is kinda jerk.

The Knuckles levels were awesome. They had atmosphere. And the music made them memorable.

Ryan’s performance in sonic and tails R recently has improved drastically, I don’t think he could perfectly recreate his old voice but the performance he’s given now is p awesome. Course as a die hard adventure fan I’m definitely biased

Shadow's music isn't grunge. It's like, industrial.

Don't meet your heroes. They're gonna let you down.

Probably the only person whose made this connection. But between this guy & Ken Penders it's insane that two people who've worked on Knuckles related content for Sonic ended up being complete loons.

4:26 is where he actually starts to talk about the rapper. You're welcome.

Ryan Drummond can still do Sonic's voice though, he does it well in Sonic & Tails R, which you brought up... It only sounds off in that interview because he had to do it off the cuff, with games and stuff they have time to warm up, redo takes, etc. I don't have a preference for Sonic's voice though, I like all of them.

Hey look it’s LS Mark’s friend

Ryan does really good in S&T R. The interview is a little unfair I reckon. He obviously has lost something, but it's still there and god it was great to listen to

Bros accent is throwing me off throughout the whole video😭 Its like a irish/australian/baltimore accent turning on and off

Wow, the way he treated Emi was fuxking gross.

Dude he wrote all that and recorded it in ONE DAY?! That’s awesome.

9:37 Jesus. That sounds like a congested middle aged clown. 😖

using arin at 2:43 was too perfect

He said “I ain’t gonna let it get to me I’m just gonna creep” He sure did both of those things.

My dad would always pass me while I was playing these stages and I guess because of the first few opening words on Pumpkin Hill, for some reason my dad thought the rapper’s name was Frankie Knuckles

Pretty interesting all what you said on the video, I'm sad for Hunnid by not being Accredited correctly, or Sega actually don't want him anymore. Hope he Improve as a person.

Nice Ohtani jumpscares. Also tbf Ryan has genuinely gotten better at doing the voice in later episodes of the radio drama.

Just realized "Hunnid-P" means "100 percent"

🎵 I ain't gonna let it get to me I'm just gonna cry about SEGA supposedly not paying me for my vocal work Down in Pumpkin Hill I gots' to find my lost piece 🎵

I'll be honest, his 'Sonic Adventure 2' "Aquatic Mines" OST man... that song was fire, no cap, I think it was pretty good.. other than that, it's OK to enjoy his music, given he's apparently no longer getting Royalties for it, or so I'm told

Great video but let's not start saying his lyrics were bad. You can dislike a person but don't start saying things just to say them. That goes for anything in life.

The dark truth is that he does, in fact, chuckle.

"Give you the colder shoulder" Sega most definitely did that.

I don't think the community will be chuckling after these allegations.

He can’t do the voice anymore?! Its been 20 years since the game released 🤦🏼‍♂️ he’s going to be rusty

I loved how Drummond sounded in Sonic and Tails R. I don't think using that interview is fair considering he clearly did a much better performance within that audio drama

Sonic games actually have a history of being crunched out right before the deadline. This usually results in shit like 06, but Sonic 2, 3 and other classics were also the result of overworked employees burning the midnight oil. So in a sense, HP’s lyrics fit well within the Sonic developmental lore because they were rushed into a cringe-sandwich. I personally believe that the art can be separated from the artists, and think it would be a shame if we refused to build upon what he contributed to the franchise just because of his own personal mistakes.

15:44 my man watch the whole scott the woz video

"Ryan legit cannot do the voice any more" Somewhere, a tiny part of me died realizing it was true. Absolutely no hate against Roger, but Ryan voiced my childhood. Nobody can replace that.

I thought this would be about Dred Foxx who scammed a fan out of his money and also sang a knuckles rap

That clip of Ryan Drummond's newest Sonic impression is sobering, and heartbreaking.

I Think Ryan drummond Can still do the voice. Not as energetic as he used to be, But kinda sounds like a mix between drummond and griffiths voice of sonic. Its nice. He still has potential.

Hunnid P, Ken Penders, Sonic Boom... why does Knuckles keeps getting screwed over???

It's like "I'm Sorry" doesn't exist in some people's vocabulary.

“Who’s your favorite sonic composer” “Oh yeah the guy who did sonic unleashed you know ([{DUBSTEP FART}])”

the rouge songs are lowkey the best songs in the game

Emi Jones (or EmuEmi, who made Sonic and Tails R) is someone who i admire a lot, and this dude is a real POS for doing that to her.

3:33 When SA2 was actually the first sonic game that had curse words in a Sonic game.

all this just convinces me that Twitter was a mistake lol. I still like the songs. Let's be honest, this is the sonic fanbase. You kinda have to accept when you go so deep that there's a LOT of weird and messed up shit out there. Dude making decent music 22 years age and going apeshit a generation later is like a 2 on the sonic Iceberg of weird shit

NGL, the mass blocking shit gives me Low-Tier God vibes which made me laugh a bit laughing at how pathetic and silly that is

Hunnid P really thought he had the exaggerated swagger 😂

Summary: No more knuckles raps, the rapper did bad thing's.

"Do not fit a Sonic game at all." That's a bull-crap nonsensical statement. 1. A character from the 90s when hip-hop was at it's best(The Golden Age of Hip-Hop), who was purposely influenced by it along with other forms of hip-hop and street culture. 2. Said titular character has shoes purposely based on Michael Jackson who had to do with black originated music like R&B, funk, New Jack Swing(which combines the elements of Rap and Hip-hop) and soul. 3. Said titular character was voiced by Jaleel White, a black actor who was Sonic's original prominent voice actor who added his own smooth flavor to it, which is one of the reasons Sonic is known for using street/hip-hop slang in his various media. 4. Said titular character is a b-boy(break-dances constantly), through out various mediums. 5. Knuckles having dreadlocks as quills and shoes patterned after the Jamaican Rastafarian flag. 6. Sonic CD's various music, vocals, especially American ending theme and the Japanese opening and ending themes. 7. SEGA itself being known for hip-hop influence with Sonic, Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, Mad World, Toejam & Earl, and such. 8. Tails saying "true that" in present day continuing the influence. 9. The original Sonic movie trailer playing Gangster's Paradise. 10. The rap lyrics in Metallic Madness in Sonic Mania/Mania Plus. 11. The hip-hop influence of themes for Hill-Top, Mystic Cave, Metropolis, Carnival Night, Sonic Rush, and more. 12. Knuckles and his boy Vector in general. Sonic was inspired by American culture, hip-hop culture, and extreme sports culture to appeal to those three respective demographics. Those are Sonic's roots and origin. And I know there's something else I'm missing. Regardless, you didn't look that far into it did you?...

I agree with all of this, except the part about Ryan Drummond. I've worked with voice actors before (full disclosure: I am not a voice actor myself, I've been involved only in more technical aspects of the process - however that's the part that's relevant) and voice acting is a lot more complex than people seem to think: it involves numerous takes of each line, a voice director who acts like a regular set director would, and even other parts of the game's development team who are more familiar with the scenes themselves. Basically, not being able to nail a voice he hasn't done for 15 years *on the first take with no direction* doesn't mean he couldn't do it in a professional setting after some warm-up.

He doesn’t remember how to voice Sonic anymore, but he’s been practicing in bed with Emi Jones.

Good video unfortunately disliking SA2 is a crime punishable by death

"Only counting mainline games so I'm not counting M A N I A ."

Ill still enjoy his music. Yall support artist/celebrities/companies that have done worst shit than him and still support them

4:18 Mania is a mainline game it's story directly ties to forces' "story"

Man, that sucks. I hate this guy, but I love his voice. Hopefully if they do more Knux raps, they’ll hire someone who can sound just like him.

When the knuckles rap turns into the sex offender shuffle

Hey, I saved myself a ton of time by looking up “Hunnid P” on the Sonic wiki and reading the two paragraphs about the actual controversy. So sick of KZfaqrs padding their videos like it’s a school assignment or something.

Was that really neccesary to add a bass boost noise when mentioning Tomoya Ohtani?

knock knock its kuckles

He basically turned into a real life hot-headed Knuckles with a hint of perviness. Real sad how things turned out... His music still be bumpin’ tho

The way the video cut to an ad after that "Oh no." was just gold 😂

The guy who wrote the rap jingles heard in Street Fighter III: Third Strike apparently had a day to write them out as well, so perhaps back then they had a v short deadline to meet when it came to working with overseas developers

I actually always loved Jason Griffith as Sonic. I would love for him to come back. I miss Amy’s voice from unleashed, Sonic X, etc. Thank you for the video.

To be honest I would love to watch a video on why you don't like SA2. I haven't seen a single good negative review on the game and would love to hear your take since you have common sense. I personally love SA2 so maybe it'll be a good watch Edit: I think the way I phrased my replies an this comment might've put people the wrong way, I'm more open to negative views and I'll definitely try to watch some of the videos y'all recommended

Face it you're never gonna get my rhymes Do I look like I need YOUR rhymes?

the virgin hunnid p vs the chad Johnny gioeli. hunnid p : only had 1 job, gets mad over not getting royalties even though he signed a contract saying he would get a one time payment, lies about working with sega for a new game, plays the victim card and is ungrateful and his lyrics are bad. Johnny: in 3 bands, from what i know, he wants to sing for crush 40 and make sonic fans happy with the songs, lets fans make covers of live and learn, doesn't cause internet drama and he has good lyrics. and i remember from an interview, he went camping with his family and then he was still writing lyrics. and would love to even have one of his crush 40 songs in the sonic movies.

Thought this video seemed a little biased against the guy while I was watching it, then you confirmed it by saying that Hunnid P "deserves no credit for the tracks being as good as they are". That's just straight up bullshit. He killed every single one, not just sonically but with how they matched to the stage. In fact, after watching this and learning that he didn't even get to play the stages before writing the tracks, I realized he deserves more credit than I originally gave him. Rapping isn't as easy as people think, at all. Every single syllable has to be on point. That said, the shit with Emi is inexcusable and definitely makes me feel some type of way about him too. Oh and yes, his new single Pumpkin Pumpkin is pretty trash.

If y’all want an even better rapper, _Try Smooth4Lyfe._ He’s actually a really awesome rapper! I’m listening to his “hard-boiled heavies” rap He’s done a few sonic mania songs, some sonic forces ones, sonic generations, and unleashed! He also doesn’t only do sonic, he does other games and remixes too! Quick edit His track “It’s no use if you’re too slow” includes a small rapping portion using the AoSTH theme and I fuckin love it

I love the knuckles themes😭

6:41 Jesus That Scared Me

Didn’t even know about this stuff happening. Probably because I don’t have Twitter.

6:00 Give Fumie Kumatani some credit, ahhhhh she's the one who composed most of the backing tracks! Tomoya Ohtani did the mines iirc

This guy sounds like someone ive heard before idk who

At the end of the day Hunnid P is a hood dude. What did y'all expect?

wow, what a shame :( but I can still imagine that is Knuckles who sings, not a person like this.. because.. lmao this Echidna is amazing, who doesn't like Knuckles??

Huh. So both Lukan "Dred Foxx" Outdawzman who sang the rap portion of Unknown From M.E in SA1 (and was the VA for Parappa ), and Hunnid-Pacent who sang Knuckles' music in SA2 are both shitty? What a surprise.

If you heard rap in a game and then thought that as bad you might have interalized racism

You gonna talk about the new Emi Jones stuff?

8:16 Perfect use of Knuckles' "Oh no" clip.

All I wanna know is how all those other music genre's somehow fit but rap apparently doesn't.

knuckles is my favourite character. When sonic 3 came out I was so intrigued by this new character plus as sonics rival was very interesting to see as he played the antihero role well. And by the time sonic and knuckles dropped it seemed like he was bit more wiser to eggmans control. Really good character,

9:52 you had a chance to be like "but Ls- I mean Splashdash"
