What Suga was alluding to when he said that "if loving this culture is a sin" is pretty much because they got so much crap for doing hip hop as an idol group. So in this song they pretty much were letting people know that these greats were their influences, they did their homework and appreciated the hiphop culture.
@@armyswhoblinkonce2711 I guess i didn't think of that because this song is so long after his family started to support him. But he did say he uses lyrics from different times of his life, even years before so it really could be that too. 👍
I just wanted to clarify that a lot of artist that both RM and Jhope mentioned influenced Yoongi as well. It is just Yoongi went and decided to talk about a abbreviation of how he got into music/rap/producing…. By the way I highly recommend watching this song live. It is awesome live… Thanks for reacting!!
That is indeed RM speaking english. He know english, japanese, korean, and some chinese (don't forget he have an IQ of 148 when he was tested in middle school, Iq 85 to 115 is average, 115 to 129 counts as bright/above average, 140+ count as genius. RM can actually apply for MENSA if he wants (one of the oldest high-IQ society) but anyway mainly the rappers of BTS writes lyrics but one thing about RM is he love word play and alot of his lyrics have double meanings which sometimes unfortunately get lost in english translations . Like the song "am I wrong" which have a line and choreography mocking the former south korean president which had a leak recording of the president calling korean citizens "cows and pigs" and BTS in the song and the dance is crawling on the floor like "cows and pigs" BTS don't get too political because it might cause them problems for example the former government at one time was blacklisting people about speaking a certain incident but BTS made it into a song with alot of hidden symbols in the music video with double meanings taking a risk if they will be in trouble but BTS certainly isn't afraid to talk about problems in society
The SONG was about their friendships - friends they lost throughout the years (due to not having time to spend with them, because they got jealous of them, etc.) while pursuing music. The video, however, yes. It was ALL about...that incident...and NOT exactly subtle. I'm still surprised no one (officially speaking) realized it at the time.
I hope you guys react to “RUN BTS” live they did at the Yet To Come concert couple of weeks ago. Also they did Cypher pt3 for the last time. Actually you need to see the whole concert, we wouldn’t mind watching it with you guys again 😂💜
YESSSS!!! I’m so happy you reacted to this song! It’s one of my favorites. I love that Jhope references J Cole in this song 8 years ago and he met J Cole when Jhope headlined at Lollapalooza this summer (J Cole performed Saturday and Jhope closed out Sunday night)! I didn’t know you guys have a podcast… is that something that’s open for the public to listen to? Looking forward to the next reaction! And yes, we appreciate the purple drink and purple backlight 😜💜🫰🏻💜
Their title tracks are made to appeal to everybody, they are made to be popular. But Army knows that the real treasure is hiding on their B sides... Some of their best songs are only known to those who really dive into their discography, otherwise you will never hear them. 😊
I love how this song shows the different relationship each of them has with hip-hop. My favorite lines: RM: I had so much to say that the stories told by others were not enough that was when I became myself J-hope: Yo how did I start learning ma Hiphop? I got into it by feeling it with my body I stood out and now I’m in the intersection of rap and dance Suga: Everyone around me asks me, “What is hip hop?” I answer boldly, “It’s my everything” As a result, I buried my life itself in music If loving this culture was a sin, I would have died hundreds of times (Actually, I can quote Suga's entire part. I love every line. What can I say, he's my bias.)
I love your reactions, especially when I hear you saying "this is ****ing amazing" every time. And love you guys for paying attention to their lyrics. Can't explain how great BTS are without their honest, raw and beautiful lyrics.
This song, along with their song Born Singer (a remake of J. Cole’s Born Sinner) really embody where they came from and the passion and work they put into making it as rappers and artists. They grew and chose to experiment with a lot of other genres but their core is and always has been rap/hip hop. Please check out We On! It’s another older song but it’s really good and will give you an idea of how hungry and unafraid BTS were as new artists on the scene.
I like that they simply say 'I like hip hop, I do what I want, our roots are real and deeper in this culture then yours' ... RM choose to go with homage and thru this showed who he is and from his passion comes, plus little bit about his start with rapping like in school he was writing on notebooks, it give him a way to show and share his emotions, He actually have some fight with his parents but when they saw that he is serious about it they did what they could to help, He was first person that was sure will be on BTS it was almost 3 years before group started and group was created around him, Suga was next and then Jhope... , Jhope talked mostly about dance, how his lifestyle was dancing hip hop, before we become Hope and learned another way his moves here full of rhymes he had always support from family, his mom especially was there for him... And Suga decide to put in song how he started from elementary school, simple verses and that he go to work, He stoped care for school and did minimum so parents would be chill and choose music, He worked in his town, before joining company and BTS, He started in record studio for free, people called him beat maker Gloss (his name then), He was part of crew D-Town as a producer, he worked on music there and he was fighig with his parents, and fights like fist flying etc... bc they didn't want him to make music then he moved go to seoul find flyer for rap battle that was competition were they looked for BTS members, He was actually first was signed as producer in company but ceo talked with him and rest is history.
"Hope hope world, before I made my own world, Cole world" This was in 2014. And in 2018, j-hope named his first mixtape Hope World, inspired by J. Cole's first album, Cole World.
If you ever want to ask an Army a question that they can't answer just ask "What is your favorite (or the best) BTS song?" When you know their entire discography it's really, really, really hard to even pick a top 10, lol.
@@JenAvaShei I wouldn't say that WAB: The Eternal has the same impact. Sorry. It is a story of BTS and their hardship and how they finally become their name. So it is a good song for BTS and Army but pretty much for no one else. Spring Day is for me all the stages of grief with the hope/healing at the end. For Koreans she is the very embodiment of the Korean emotion "Han". MV and choreo remind us of one of the greatest tragedies in recent Korean history. But the song hold soothing/healing qualities, too. That is the reason why the song is in Korean charts since it's drop in 2017 - for 6 years now. The longest by far. No other song comes close. 💜
@@ruthfischer7615 The queen definitely deserves her title, I always thought that. It was definitely always among my favorites but I think you may have pushed it to my #1 now. I know about the fact that it has been on the charts since forever and also about the story surrounding the ferry incident but I didn't look into "Han" before (which I now did). After your explanation and what I found even with a short research I can understand why you have that opinion. Since I'm not Korean I might never fully understand "Han" in the way it's supposed to be understood / felt. Maybe it's not really comparable but as intensive as the feeling of guilt many germans (I'm german) have due to the history? I'm not that old to have lived in the times around WW2 or even have relatives who lived in those times (my grandparents were just born around the time the war ended or shortly after and my great grandparents died before I was born) but I STILL feel guilty for the german history and have a strange urge to never let something like that ever happen again. I don't feel any national pride at all, like many german people in my social circle, no matter the age or background. I know it's not comparable since the emotions "Han" seems to include are different from what I feel (and I don't think we even have a word for our emotion) but it's the only thing I can think of that has similar impact to me personally and the people in my country as I imagine "Han" feels like for Koreans. That thought alone brings me to tears. Your explanation has led me to new insights and knowledge, thank you very much
@@JenAvaShei Wenn Du so fühlst dann ist das gut so. Ich bin auch nicht sicher wie man das nennen sollte... Kollektivschuld? Ich habe mich immer gewundert warum Menschen in anderen Ländern sich der Vergangenheit Ihres Landes nicht stellen. Kann es manchmal zu viel sein? Ja. Aber wenn ich sehe wie Parteien wie die AFD aufsteigen wird mir anders. Es hilft auch nicht, wenn man sieht was in anderen Ländern so los ist. Ich will keinen dritten Weltkrieg! Ich will unsere gesellschaftlichen Errungenschaften ausbauen und nicht abschaffen! Ich gebe allerdings zu, dass meine Eltern während/kurz nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg geboren wurden. Was mein einer Großvater genau gemacht hat, weiß ich nicht. Mein anderer was jedenfalls nicht im Krieg wegen seiner verkrüppelten Daumen. Er hat seine erste Frau beim Einmarsch der Russen verloren. Geschichte ist kompliziert. Immer. Ich denke, dass ich das Wort "Han" das erste Mal in einer von bby gang mag's video essays gehört habe (die sind sehr gut!). Ein weiteres Mal kann man es in einem Video von boracity magazine sehen "why most Armys don't like Kpop" (glaub ich) - dort ist ein Fanpost zu sehen von einem älteren koreanischen Fan der zu erklären versucht warum Koreaner in allgemeinen keinen Kpop (Idol Musik) mögen und warum BTS anders sind. Ich liebe die meißten Songs von BTS, aber "Spring Day" ist besonders. Da gibt es eine Musikshow in Südkorea die songs analysiert (englische Untertitel). Spring Day war ihr erster Song. Die beiden haben es an eine innerlichen Konflikt geknüpft wenn ich mich recht erinnere. 💜
people who look down on bts (especially rap line) don't realize where they're coming from, this is the song i recommend to everyone who wants to know just a little about their background as rappers. hip hop phile is in my top 5 bts songs, really underrated id say, thats why im glad you guyz did reaction video. also while we're at this i wanna recommend you guyz also check Epik High. both RM and jhope mentioned them in this song and SUGA said in interviews that Epik High is the reason why he got into music, so i hope you'll give it a try ^^
RM's musical knowledge and influences are amazing. His intelligence and rapping skills are the formula to great works out there. This music is one of them. 💜 But he has an amazing soft voice too. I suggest you check out his Mono mixtape.
I think hip hop is more accepted in Korea now but it wasn't back then for sure. In the 90s you weren't allowed to do hip hop songs unless you had someone singing on the same track. You guys should check out tiger jk, yoonmirae. They're known as the godmother/father of k-hip hop and have done songs with RM from bts. Song suggestions Timeless - Tiger JK and RM. Buckubucku- Mfbty (this is a group that yoonmirae and tiger jk are apart of with another rapper called bizzy.) But rm has a verse on it and it's 👌🏻
Not sure that the first is true. True democracy came with direct election rights in 1987 with a student rebellion. The result was that clubs that catered to the US GIs opened their doors for the general public, too. The first Hiphop SK came in contact with was the one style you can dance to as a result. But that isn't actually what Hiphop is and so the hour of the Korean-Americans came and the english spoken Hiphop. Understandably Koreans said that that ain't it either and with a bit of hit and miss they developed the third style K-Hiphop. Ironically BTS is probably the first artist all three styles are intervined again. Hiphop went mainstream with Seo Taiji & Boys. They even touched Gangsta rap with "Come Back Home". Than the Idol style and K-Hiphop divided. 1TYM is already not accepted as classic Hiphop while Seo Taiji was - the secret lies in the Idol chorus 1TYM used. K-Hiphop as it derives from Hiphop has the highest bar for authenticity: truth to power (to quote a reactor). While Idol music wants the aesthetic but does (usually - there are exceptions) not know what Hiphop really is. So that is the conflict. There are few artists that are respected in both ways: Zico, Jessi, RM, Suga and probably J-Hope now and 3Racha from Stray Kids come to mind.
Yes, Suga's family was poor. His mother used to throw his equipment away and prohibit him from doing music because she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to support himself. He went and did it anyway, sold tunes to survive , was frequently ripped off. Even worked as a delivery driver while a trainee for BTS. On one of the nights he was working, he got into an accident and the car crushed his shoulder. He told BigHit he tumbled down the stairs. He nearly left the company because he couldn't continue support himself with work. He got stopped and asked why he was leaving and when he said the truth, BigHit paid for his education. But he also worked with partially mobile shoulder and in pain until 2019 when he finally took a break and had an operation to fix it. Honestly, that guy's dedication is astounding. He has a song called First Love about his piano which never fails to make me cry. Which rapper you know who would ever talk about this?!! I love these guys 😜🔥💜
I'm not sure that Suga's family is poor. I mean they paid for a therapist in a country that has trouble to believe in mental health and had a piano. But they did not suport his dream which is why he financed that himself. For this you would have to know what n-po generation is (it's on wikipedia). The car hit him but I doubt it drove over him. He spoke about how close the wheel was to his face. The fall ripped something in his shoulder and did not crush it. The OP was in fall of 2020 when he couldn't lift a can over his head for a commercial and 2 of 3 doctors suggested it. The piano also stands for music itself and his love for it and how diffcult that was for him.
Yes, they should👍I know that's how they end their vids but I thought...was hoping they would have some kinda commentary...this song was a shout out to the GOATS of hip hop (and dude on left love rap) Dunno, kinda let down after requesting so many times 😞
I love this song so much, every body believe me or not i really doesn't know but i listen this song every day, which is one of the best b sides song ever, when i come through the bus i always listen this song 😍💜
Ooo Thanks for this reaction I really like this song it has such a nice feel to it there is passion from rappers and vocals make it smooth... I said you will like this song 😉 sooo "We on" will be good choice and maybe some fun songs like "Jump" or Dionysus", this songs may be also up to your taste... Maybe jazz song with rap "Rain" or some edm like "So what" and "Best of me"... Hmm ballads "Let me know", "Autumn leaves" (Suga made this two).
They really did start out with hip hop as their everything which shows in how much they respect it, study, and play with it. This song has a balance between hard rapping but the vocal line kills it on the chorus.
1:12 "o wait thats not RM saying that" lol yes it is, RM is pretty fluent in English, he learned by watching the show Friends no hate intended, I know you 2 r newer fans of BTS ❤
RM says he learnt from friends, but he definitely took actual classes in school or from a tutor. You can't just learn a language fluently from watching a tv show.
@@morphkogan8627 ya ofc im sure they all took english in school; tv shows can be quite helpful in seeing how natives converse with each other, and Friends is a very popular show that was able to be translated into Korean and have Korean subtitles, and RM has said before that that was how he learned :D
@@morphkogan8627 Yeah true but don't forget RM learn languages pretty fast and he actually have an IQ of 148 scored in the top of his school and top 1.8 percent in the nation's entry exam he is one member who learned japanese the fastest and chinese
@@morphkogan8627 - As a language learner and a translator, I can say that it's the things you do outside formal classes/lessons that help you become fluent in a language. You become fluent by practicing the language, and that includes practicing listening skills from radio or television (or RUclips for kids these days). Television shows also expand your vocabulary that's actually used in real life, compared to the limited amount of words that can be taught in a formal environment. I used to say I learned English from watching English-dubbed Hong Kong television series, although of course I also studied English in school.
@@morphkogan8627 Yes, they have english classes in school too and cram schools,but even so most koreans still are not that fluent..Watching Friends must be a great help to RM that's maybe why he said it..
Trust me your fav songs will keep changing. You’ve only scratched the surface into BTS’s discography. I’ve been army since 2016 and I still can’t tell you my top 5 fav songs because there’s too many
For Suga, this song was the beginning of a purging process that continued through his first mixtape. He had a MUCH harder childhood than RM or J-Hope. He knew from the time he was a child that he wanted to be a musician and his parents kind of tried to beat it out of him. They didn't have enough money to support his dream and they were terrified that he would end up poor and busking on the streets. He loved the same people mentioned by RM and J-Hope but he had to stubbornly start pulling from deep inside himself at a very young age. He started writing and selling songs in middle school, and sometimes bigger guys would Steal his songs! No lie. That's why his lines are so different from theirs on this track.
They didn't "beat" him. And they are closer again probably since "that" concert. You should look up "n-po generation" to know why the idea of Yoongi's dream probably terrified his parents. There were also others (inlcuding his teachers) that told Yoongi he would "ruin" his family if he kept going on his chosen path. We are also talking about someone that battled depression early and had thoughts about suicide.
@@ruthfischer7615 I hear you and I know what you're talking about, I agree. I was explaining the reason for his vastly different bars in HipHopPhile which reflected his ongoing struggle (at that time) with those early experiences.
Hope you do a live performance of this sometime as well, you could tell they really loved this song (especially rm😆). Cause it showed their true colors and everything they were plain and simple: 7 boys who love hip hop and music🙄💜
RM es increíble, es genial ver que más personas empiezan a apreciar correctamente su arte, es un gran rapero con letras geniales e inspiradoras. BTS es un grupo excelente, escuchen más canciones de ellos.
Rm suga got a lot of hate from the underground hip hop commu for doing kpop,and bts got hate from netizens for doing hip pop in kpop,a lot of people did not understand rap and were like they cant sing,vocalists were more of big deal and comsidered artists in mainstream,there was rap but mellodious,bts brought the hardcore rap to the scene to many questioned,these days there hiphoppy songs are appreciated more,and hip hop is a great deal in korea too,earlier people did not care but these days rappers from grps like blackpink,twice who dont write their lyrics are getting critisized a lot
Glad you liked HipHopphile! It's definitely an 'oldie but goodie' This was from their second release within the first year of their debut. I think they basically released 2 or 3? 'albums' within the first year of their debut. I only say 'albums' because I believe a few of them were EP's and I'm not entirely sure what that means to be honest LOL but I'm sure you guys do. Each of them had anywhere from 5-10 or so songs on them. Either way, lots of music in comparison to what we're used to over here in america. That's how they've been able to have over 300 songs in the 10 years they've been together.
you can also check We On by BTS and DDAENG by rap line. Jhope's 1 Verse and Hangsang, SUGA's Shadow and First Love, RM's Monster and Throw Out, also the remix of Champions with Fall out boy.
Y'all Jin just dropped his new song "The Astronaut" today. It will be Jin's last song before he has to enlist in military as he is either going next week or the week after (I'm not sure but it will be very soon). So please react to it!🙏 Also, y'all should wear some kind of purple as tribute to Jin since we won't see him for the next 18 months. :/
I love this song so much 🔥 idk if you guys will react to Hip Hop Lover live but it's great too I can't wait to know your top 5 BTS' songs! It's really hard to choose when they have so many bops and it gets harder when you start knowing more of their discography because they have so many songs with different styles or genres that it's hard to compare or pick favorites. I guess I have like a top 15-10 instead than a top 5 bc i just feel bad if I don't mention the other ones lmao 😭 Anyways, for me It's easier to make a top for each style but since the majority of what you have reacted is in the rap side, just ignore what I said 💀
You should definitely rank your Top 5 BTS songs! You should just also definitely be prepared to do it again... and again... and again... as you hear more from them. With the size of their catalog, it becomes an increasingly difficult game even for those of us who have strong preferences for certain genres over others. Then if you want a new challenge, start ranking various live performances of specific songs -- BTS, the gift that keeps on giving! 🤣
I appreciate you learning the lyrics of their songs thats important but I would also like to see you do like live performances right after. I know you might not have time to do back to back videos but I do believe BTS really needs to be seen live. I also want to respect how you want to put things on your channel but there is something about watching bts doing their songs live so thats why I suggest you might want to do both if you can . I know you already did ugh and the Cypher but if you go and watched them from the Busan concert you will be blown away. A good channel to use for live videos is the channel enjoy bts more she does an amazing job and has the English subs as well. With that said I love your reactions and how honest you are about BTS . Thanks again guys.
BTS - Come Back Home (remake) live at 4th Muster 2018 [ENG SUB] [Full HD] this is a great song its a remake of Seo Taiji, there is also a video with them singing it with him at one of his concerts. But i like the remake.
Actually, hip-hop is well beloved in Korea: the issue was that BTS (an idol group coming from a small company)was doing hip-hop. Most of the criticism, if anything, came from the hip-hop world because they were considered fake and too "effeminate" to partake in the "swaggy, macho" hip-hop culture (real things that were said to them).
At the 2019? Grammys they sang the Little Nas X Old Town Road and got to perform (kinda) with Nas. RM remixed it (Seoul Town Road). Anyway Nas is one of RM’s favorites. It was great to see them together (kinda).
@@ruthfischer7615 yes, I know. The song is Little Nas X’s. Big Nas was also there. He didn’t perform along side Bangtan, but he did perform with X during that performance. That’s why I said “kinda.”
Time for ‘persona’ -RM, ‘Shadow’- Suga and ‘Ego’ - Jhope. These are part of Carl jungs theory of a persons subconscious mind. They’re awesome, you must react to them. Also ‘Respect’ by RM & Suga, ‘Moving on’, ‘Bapsae’ - needs explanation, ‘ Am I wrong’……. Many others of course
I suggest you to now watch some bts history and introduction videos as well. You will get more familiar with the members and their personalities. If you want to include it, then the first video must be Guide to bts: bangtan 7 by Taylor.
Please react to "The Mistreatment of BTS" to understand them more with regards to their relationship with the kpop industry :) you will understand why their songs aren't what you'd expect of typical kpop
Y'all need to listen to the other vocal line members: jungkook- My Time & Still With You V- singularity & Stigma Jin- Awake & please listen to House of Cards which is a vocal line song
Please react to bts house of cards lyrics than live, not today, fake love than dance practice, On kinetic manifesto, your eyes tell and V singularity than live

Since I'm not Korean I might never fully understand "Han" in the way it's supposed to be understood / felt.
Maybe it's not really comparable but as intensive as the feeling of guilt many germans (I'm german) have due to the history?
I'm not that old to have lived in the times around WW2 or even have relatives who lived in those times (my grandparents were just born around the time the war ended or shortly after and my great grandparents died before I was born) but I STILL feel guilty for the german history and have a strange urge to never let something like that ever happen again. I don't feel any national pride at all, like many german people in my social circle, no matter the age or background.
I know it's not comparable since the emotions "Han" seems to include are different from what I feel (and I don't think we even have a word for our emotion) but it's the only thing I can think of that has similar impact to me personally and the people in my country as I imagine "Han" feels like for Koreans. That thought alone brings me to tears.
Your explanation has led me to new insights and knowledge, thank you very much
@@JenAvaShei Wenn Du so fühlst dann ist das gut so. Ich bin auch nicht sicher wie man das nennen sollte... Kollektivschuld?
Ich habe mich immer gewundert warum Menschen in anderen Ländern sich der Vergangenheit Ihres Landes nicht stellen.
Kann es manchmal zu viel sein? Ja. Aber wenn ich sehe wie Parteien wie die AFD aufsteigen wird mir anders. Es hilft auch nicht, wenn man sieht was in anderen Ländern so los ist.
Ich will keinen dritten Weltkrieg! Ich will unsere gesellschaftlichen Errungenschaften ausbauen und nicht abschaffen!
Ich gebe allerdings zu, dass meine Eltern während/kurz nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg geboren wurden. Was mein einer Großvater genau gemacht hat, weiß ich nicht. Mein anderer was jedenfalls nicht im Krieg wegen seiner verkrüppelten Daumen. Er hat seine erste Frau beim Einmarsch der Russen verloren.
Geschichte ist kompliziert. Immer.
Ich denke, dass ich das Wort "Han" das erste Mal in einer von bby gang mag's video essays gehört habe (die sind sehr gut!). Ein weiteres Mal kann man es in einem Video von boracity magazine sehen "why most Armys don't like Kpop" (glaub ich) - dort ist ein Fanpost zu sehen von einem älteren koreanischen Fan der zu erklären versucht warum Koreaner in allgemeinen keinen Kpop (Idol Musik) mögen und warum BTS anders sind.
Ich liebe die meißten Songs von BTS, aber "Spring Day" ist besonders.
Da gibt es eine Musikshow in Südkorea die songs analysiert (englische Untertitel). Spring Day war ihr erster Song. Die beiden haben es an eine innerlichen Konflikt geknüpft wenn ich mich recht erinnere.
💜
people who look down on bts (especially rap line) don't realize where they're coming from, this is the song i recommend to everyone who wants to know just a little about their background as rappers. hip hop phile is in my top 5 bts songs, really underrated id say, thats why im glad you guyz did reaction video.
also while we're at this i wanna recommend you guyz also check Epik High. both RM and jhope mentioned them in this song and SUGA said in interviews that Epik High is the reason why he got into music, so i hope you'll give it a try ^^
RM's musical knowledge and influences are amazing. His intelligence and rapping skills are the formula to great works out there. This music is one of them. 💜
But he has an amazing soft voice too. I suggest you check out his Mono mixtape.
I think hip hop is more accepted in Korea now but it wasn't back then for sure. In the 90s you weren't allowed to do hip hop songs unless you had someone singing on the same track.
You guys should check out tiger jk, yoonmirae. They're known as the godmother/father of k-hip hop and have done songs with RM from bts.
Song suggestions
Timeless - Tiger JK and RM.
Buckubucku- Mfbty (this is a group that yoonmirae and tiger jk are apart of with another rapper called bizzy.) But rm has a verse on it and it's 👌🏻
Not sure that the first is true.
True democracy came with direct election rights in 1987 with a student rebellion. The result was that clubs that catered to the US GIs opened their doors for the general public, too. The first Hiphop SK came in contact with was the one style you can dance to as a result.
But that isn't actually what Hiphop is and so the hour of the Korean-Americans came and the english spoken Hiphop.
Understandably Koreans said that that ain't it either and with a bit of hit and miss they developed the third style K-Hiphop.
Ironically BTS is probably the first artist all three styles are intervined again.
Hiphop went mainstream with Seo Taiji & Boys. They even touched Gangsta rap with "Come Back Home".
Than the Idol style and K-Hiphop divided. 1TYM is already not accepted as classic Hiphop while Seo Taiji was - the secret lies in the Idol chorus 1TYM used.
K-Hiphop as it derives from Hiphop has the highest bar for authenticity: truth to power (to quote a reactor). While Idol music wants the aesthetic but does (usually - there are exceptions) not know what Hiphop really is. So that is the conflict.
There are few artists that are respected in both ways: Zico, Jessi, RM, Suga and probably J-Hope now and 3Racha from Stray Kids come to mind.
See guys the deeper you get in the BTS rabbit hole...it becomes harder to pick favourite songs/rap ,All their stuff is awesome 💜💜💜
Yes, Suga's family was poor. His mother used to throw his equipment away and prohibit him from doing music because she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to support himself. He went and did it anyway, sold tunes to survive , was frequently ripped off. Even worked as a delivery driver while a trainee for BTS. On one of the nights he was working, he got into an accident and the car crushed his shoulder. He told BigHit he tumbled down the stairs. He nearly left the company because he couldn't continue support himself with work. He got stopped and asked why he was leaving and when he said the truth, BigHit paid for his education. But he also worked with partially mobile shoulder and in pain until 2019 when he finally took a break and had an operation to fix it. Honestly, that guy's dedication is astounding. He has a song called First Love about his piano which never fails to make me cry. Which rapper you know who would ever talk about this?!! I love these guys 😜🔥💜
I'm not sure that Suga's family is poor. I mean they paid for a therapist in a country that has trouble to believe in mental health and had a piano. But they did not suport his dream which is why he financed that himself. For this you would have to know what n-po generation is (it's on wikipedia).
The car hit him but I doubt it drove over him. He spoke about how close the wheel was to his face. The fall ripped something in his shoulder and did not crush it. The OP was in fall of 2020 when he couldn't lift a can over his head for a commercial and 2 of 3 doctors suggested it.
The piano also stands for music itself and his love for it and how diffcult that was for him.
Now you should watch them do this live! It's fire 🔥 for sure!
Yes, they should👍I know that's how they end their vids but I thought...was hoping they would have some kinda commentary...this song was a shout out to the GOATS of hip hop (and dude on left love rap) Dunno, kinda let down after requesting so many times 😞
I love this song so much, every body believe me or not i really doesn't know but i listen this song every day, which is one of the best b sides song ever, when i come through the bus i always listen this song 😍💜
I am glad you guys finally got to check this one out. I love this song so much.
RUN BTS, UGH & CYPHER PT.3: KILLER was amazing at the Yet to come in Busan concert. A MUST WATCH.
I only know this song as Hip Hop Lover, another one of my fave rap one of theirs. I had a feeling you'd like this one guys. 😎💜👌
Ooo Thanks for this reaction I really like this song it has such a nice feel to it there is passion from rappers and vocals make it smooth...
I said you will like this song 😉
sooo "We on" will be good choice and maybe some fun songs like "Jump" or Dionysus", this songs may be also up to your taste... Maybe jazz song with rap "Rain" or some edm like "So what" and "Best of me"... Hmm ballads "Let me know", "Autumn leaves" (Suga made this two).
They really did start out with hip hop as their everything which shows in how much they respect it, study, and play with it. This song has a balance between hard rapping but the vocal line kills it on the chorus.
1:12 "o wait thats not RM saying that" lol yes it is, RM is pretty fluent in English, he learned by watching the show Friends
no hate intended, I know you 2 r newer fans of BTS ❤
RM says he learnt from friends, but he definitely took actual classes in school or from a tutor. You can't just learn a language fluently from watching a tv show.
@@morphkogan8627 ya ofc im sure they all took english in school; tv shows can be quite helpful in seeing how natives converse with each other, and Friends is a very popular show that was able to be translated into Korean and have Korean subtitles, and RM has said before that that was how he learned :D
@@morphkogan8627 Yeah true but don't forget RM learn languages pretty fast and he actually have an IQ of 148 scored in the top of his school and top 1.8 percent in the nation's entry exam he is one member who learned japanese the fastest and chinese
@@morphkogan8627 - As a language learner and a translator, I can say that it's the things you do outside formal classes/lessons that help you become fluent in a language. You become fluent by practicing the language, and that includes practicing listening skills from radio or television (or RUclips for kids these days). Television shows also expand your vocabulary that's actually used in real life, compared to the limited amount of words that can be taught in a formal environment.
I used to say I learned English from watching English-dubbed Hong Kong television series, although of course I also studied English in school.
@@morphkogan8627 Yes, they have english classes in school too and cram schools,but even so most koreans still are not that fluent..Watching Friends must be a great help to RM that's maybe why he said it..
Trust me your fav songs will keep changing. You’ve only scratched the surface into BTS’s discography. I’ve been army since 2016 and I still can’t tell you my top 5 fav songs because there’s too many
For Suga, this song was the beginning of a purging process that continued through his first mixtape. He had a MUCH harder childhood than RM or J-Hope. He knew from the time he was a child that he wanted to be a musician and his parents kind of tried to beat it out of him. They didn't have enough money to support his dream and they were terrified that he would end up poor and busking on the streets. He loved the same people mentioned by RM and J-Hope but he had to stubbornly start pulling from deep inside himself at a very young age. He started writing and selling songs in middle school, and sometimes bigger guys would Steal his songs! No lie. That's why his lines are so different from theirs on this track.
You got it. Good explanation
They didn't "beat" him. And they are closer again probably since "that" concert. You should look up "n-po generation" to know why the idea of Yoongi's dream probably terrified his parents. There were also others (inlcuding his teachers) that told Yoongi he would "ruin" his family if he kept going on his chosen path.
We are also talking about someone that battled depression early and had thoughts about suicide.
@@ruthfischer7615 I hear you and I know what you're talking about, I agree. I was explaining the reason for his vastly different bars in HipHopPhile which reflected his ongoing struggle (at that time) with those early experiences.
I love this song & respect them so much for making it 🔥
Hope you do a live performance of this sometime as well, you could tell they really loved this song (especially rm😆). Cause it showed their true colors and everything they were plain and simple: 7 boys who love hip hop and music🙄💜
RM es increíble, es genial ver que más personas empiezan a apreciar correctamente su arte, es un gran rapero con letras geniales e inspiradoras. BTS es un grupo excelente, escuchen más canciones de ellos.
Rm suga got a lot of hate from the underground hip hop commu for doing kpop,and bts got hate from netizens for doing hip pop in kpop,a lot of people did not understand rap and were like they cant sing,vocalists were more of big deal and comsidered artists in mainstream,there was rap but mellodious,bts brought the hardcore rap to the scene to many questioned,these days there hiphoppy songs are appreciated more,and hip hop is a great deal in korea too,earlier people did not care but these days rappers from grps like blackpink,twice who dont write their lyrics are getting critisized a lot
Yes I love this song and your ending made me laugh. Thanks guys.
Glad you liked HipHopphile! It's definitely an 'oldie but goodie' This was from their second release within the first year of their debut. I think they basically released 2 or 3? 'albums' within the first year of their debut. I only say 'albums' because I believe a few of them were EP's and I'm not entirely sure what that means to be honest LOL but I'm sure you guys do. Each of them had anywhere from 5-10 or so songs on them. Either way, lots of music in comparison to what we're used to over here in america. That's how they've been able to have over 300 songs in the 10 years they've been together.
OMG FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! You know how long I been waiting/requesting this??? Aah hope you like it cause it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯👍😁💜💜
THIS LIVE IS AMAZING
I love this one more every time I hear it 💜💜
Another one in the queue for you should be We On 😊
Thanks for paying attention to what they are saying 💜
Random info: J. Hope finally met J. Cole at Lollipalooza this year.
You should react to the live performance of this!!!! They were still young back then but the performance is still epic
Listen to “We On” and “Baepsae” 😍😍
BTS 'UGH' & 'CYPHER PT.3' Live Busan Concert LESTGOOO🔥
Have you listened to BTS
"WE ON" yet?! My favorite after "Hiphop Phile " think you will like it 💜
THIS is such a good track!
Finally another OT7 song! A question, have you guys checked out Black Swan yet?
Not yet!
@@12ManyReactions Black Swan is the best song. I suggest watching the MV and the dance practice. The beats, choreo, vocals, and rap are flawless. 💜
Busan concert opening was awesome... watch the entire concert...
that was rm speaking the intro! not sure if you were surprised by the voice or him speaking english or something else, but it was him :)
Phile is Greek for lover.
So if you are a bibliophile, you are a lover of books. If you are a pluviophile, you are a lover of the rain. Etc
rm referenced pharrell's in my mind album on here and he just had an interview with pharrell... amazing
I've been waiting for this one! 💜
You should definitely watch the live version of this!
you can also check We On by BTS and DDAENG by rap line. Jhope's 1 Verse and Hangsang, SUGA's Shadow and First Love, RM's Monster and Throw Out, also the remix of Champions with Fall out boy.
Louder than Bombs
Y'all Jin just dropped his new song "The Astronaut" today. It will be Jin's last song before he has to enlist in military as he is either going next week or the week after (I'm not sure but it will be very soon). So please react to it!🙏 Also, y'all should wear some kind of purple as tribute to Jin since we won't see him for the next 18 months. :/
This song live is a chef’s kiss. Also its gonna be a real struggle to choose ur top 5 bts songs
I love this song so much 🔥 idk if you guys will react to Hip Hop Lover live but it's great too
I can't wait to know your top 5 BTS' songs! It's really hard to choose when they have so many bops and it gets harder when you start knowing more of their discography because they have so many songs with different styles or genres that it's hard to compare or pick favorites. I guess I have like a top 15-10 instead than a top 5 bc i just feel bad if I don't mention the other ones lmao 😭
Anyways, for me It's easier to make a top for each style but since the majority of what you have reacted is in the rap side, just ignore what I said 💀
U can watch BTS's debut songs like danger, we are bulletproof pt2, boy in luv, just one day( for vocals)
You should definitely rank your Top 5 BTS songs! You should just also definitely be prepared to do it again... and again... and again... as you hear more from them. With the size of their catalog, it becomes an increasingly difficult game even for those of us who have strong preferences for certain genres over others. Then if you want a new challenge, start ranking various live performances of specific songs -- BTS, the gift that keeps on giving! 🤣
Day 1 of asking for First Love by Suga. ❤
Thats definitely RM saying that he is fluent in english
You gotta react to RUN BTS live for sure it's an absolute must no cap the performance was incredible and jaw dropping
Please react to the live performance of Ugh and Cypher 3 at their Yet to Come Busan 2022 concert.
I appreciate you learning the lyrics of their songs thats important but I would also like to see you do like live performances right after. I know you might not have time to do back to back videos but I do believe BTS really needs to be seen live. I also want to respect how you want to put things on your channel but there is something about watching bts doing their songs live so thats why I suggest you might want to do both if you can . I know you already did ugh and the Cypher but if you go and watched them from the Busan concert you will be blown away. A good channel to use for live videos is the channel enjoy bts more she does an amazing job and has the English subs as well. With that said I love your reactions and how honest you are about BTS . Thanks again guys.
The purple drink 😂💜
Recommend watching this song live💜
BTS - Come Back Home (remake) live at 4th Muster 2018 [ENG SUB] [Full HD] this is a great song its a remake of Seo Taiji, there is also a video with them singing it with him at one of his concerts. But i like the remake.
Actually, hip-hop is well beloved in Korea: the issue was that BTS (an idol group coming from a small company)was doing hip-hop. Most of the criticism, if anything, came from the hip-hop world because they were considered fake and too "effeminate" to partake in the "swaggy, macho" hip-hop culture (real things that were said to them).
Don’t worry about the sound issue
Was still good to watch. Guys react to Dionysus sometime!
Tomorrow( produced by Suga)
Love Maze
Home
Black Swan
Dis-ease
Just One Day(live version from Armypedia)

Jhope - base line
Jhope - what if
Jhope - stop
And his album jack in the box
ohh I've been waiting for this oneee
FINALLY!! and now, unto the next! pls react to "WE ON"
At the 2019? Grammys they sang the Little Nas X Old Town Road and got to perform (kinda) with Nas. RM remixed it (Seoul Town Road). Anyway Nas is one of RM’s favorites. It was great to see them together (kinda).
Those are two different artists: Nas and Little Nas X.
@@ruthfischer7615 yes, I know. The song is Little Nas X’s. Big Nas was also there. He didn’t perform along side Bangtan, but he did perform with X during that performance. That’s why I said “kinda.”
@@sugasmeow Thank you. I didn't pay so much attention who else did "remixes" so I didn't notice. 💜
their live 4 this song is really good
Jump song from bts all members is the best song.
PLEASE REACT TO BTS' RUN BTS LIVE PERFORMANCE AT THEIR BUSAN CONCERT!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜♾️
Time for ‘persona’ -RM, ‘Shadow’- Suga and ‘Ego’ - Jhope. These are part of Carl jungs theory of a persons subconscious mind. They’re awesome, you must react to them.
Also ‘Respect’ by RM & Suga, ‘Moving on’, ‘Bapsae’ - needs explanation,
‘ Am I wrong’……. Many others of course
Peace out🥰🥰
You guys should react to jhope Lollapalooza performance believe me
Have you guys checked out RUN BTS yet? it's a really awesome song🤘🤘
Sure have!
REACT TO BTS’s “We On” it’s the most amazing song I’ve ever listened to by them literally their best song!!
I love this track 🔥😎
I suggest you to now watch some bts history and introduction videos as well. You will get more familiar with the members and their personalities. If you want to include it, then the first video must be Guide to bts: bangtan 7 by Taylor.
Please react to Diseases by BTS. It touches the topic of mental health we are facing nowadays.
Dope
Please react to "The Mistreatment of BTS" to understand them more with regards to their relationship with the kpop industry :) you will understand why their songs aren't what you'd expect of typical kpop
🎉🎉 wooooo 👏👏👏🥳
You guys should start react to their live performance.
You guys need to react to Birthday by Ten. He’s from a group called NCT. It’s so good!!!!!
Y'all need to listen to the other vocal line members:
jungkook- My Time & Still With You
V- singularity & Stigma
Jin- Awake
& please listen to House of Cards which is a vocal line song
Can you guys react to Autumn Leaves, Paradise, and tomorrow 😊
Please react also to their debut song No More Dream and then We Are Bulletproof. Their name Bangtan means Bulletproof
I hope you react to other bts old song in live performance guys
Bts numéro 1 👑
Please react to bts house of cards lyrics than live, not today, fake love than dance practice, On kinetic manifesto, your eyes tell and V singularity than live
Also be cool if you check Epik high and CL who are also mentioned in RM's verse dope music
