HE REALLY OUTDID HOPE WORLD, LIKE THE EXPECTATION MEETS (I MEAN HE'S TOP IT OUT.) my fave is equal sign - because it reminds me of where is the love by black eyed peas.
It's so weird to say this, but like I was not expecting much from the album in the sense that I was okay for it to be just okay. YET, it wasn't just okay, how is that possible???!!! I've listened to the album 4 times already and I'm ...speechless? (Also I really love Pandora's Box ...). This was great for real. like wow.
whenever an artist releases an album, I like 2 or 3 songs out of, say, 10. And it's normal, it's hard to like all of the songs. And, somehow, I love ALL the songs from JITB. ALL. I don't know how that's possible, but it is the way it is. Hobi outdid himself and everyone
It won't. This isn't mainstream music it's more along the lines of music created for the culture. U just have to look at how many Armys are upset to the point of calling the album trash or saying it's 5/10 at best just because it's not their type of music. Hope World is more in tune with want mainstream listeners want. If Hobi had just capitalized on his popularity and just dropped Hope World 2.0 then we'd probably be having a different conversation. I really respect the risk being taken.
@@livelovelife32 armyy???? Wtf you talking about... It's kpopies who are mad... They have been dragging on the Internet. Armys are the only ones supporting him..
I really love the whole album, but him sampling "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" is mindblowing for me. Him tapping into so many elements of 90s hip hop and R&B made this so easy to listen to beginning to end. You mentioned him being inspired by RM's Mono, and I think they can't help but be inspired by each other. But even RM said he was surprised by this new take. I like that each of the rap line took a departure from their first albums and were more experimental with their sound, delivery, and production. I'm looking forward to Lollapalooza and the rest of the albums.
I did the first listen in the car and when I heard the “shimmy shimmy ya” I sample, my mouth dropped!!! I’m kinda over samples now but hobi did not disappoint!! It sounded so good!!! Glad to know others noticed and loved the sample too!
As a 90s baby, the vibe of this album is so nostalgic to me. 💜 Also, I agree about this being Hope World 2. In fact, I noticed that the color scheme of Jack in the Box is similar to that of Hope World.
j-hope's flows are so distinctly j-hope. Like you hear these flows on anyone and say "that's a j-hope flow" so I do not think he's doing an RM thing at all. Like neither RM nor Mono-inspired. I have listened to Hope World all the way through almost every single day for 4 years and this is all j-hope. Those little triplets in series, the internal rhyme schemes, the almost poetic repetition of certain rhythms and rhyme schemes--these are all hallmarks of j-hope's rap. And Joon has a lot of consistent elements in his style and none of those are them. So I think you're on your own with hearing RM or Mono influence here.
100% Agree with you. If you really listen to Hope World every day you’ll know that Jack In The Box is all jhope alone it’s just more raw and deeper version of Hope World
Agree ,Anyone who knows well J-Hope work as solo artist with Hope world, 1Verse, and in BTS , with Boy meet evil , Dyonisus, Mic Drop , Pied Pieper and so many verse that make every song so particular that it is 1000% J Hope, ..sound coming from his influence and roots, as B boy dancer, 90’s west coast hip-hop, beatbox …nothing similar how RM song or even least Yoongi, without disrespecting ..but each has his flow and colour used in their production ..and here it’s a natural evolution of Baseline and Hangsang …a personal writing, rap flow working on the beat inspired of his dancer influence .. I listened definitely more than 1000 hours of Hobi songs and , I listen RM and Suga to understand their work also and I cannot find any similarities….
I've been HYPED TF UP since Pdogg's interview about Hobi's next mixtape. He said this is something MORE than whatever we're expecting and IT IS!!! As Hobi said, people should listen to it in order because the album's like a book and each song is a chapter, it's a whole EXPERIENCE. His leap from Hope World to Jack In The Box is GENIUS and PHENOMENAL. He's just so flexible and amazing. The literature kid is showing!! INTRO, PANDORA'S BOX, MORE, STOP, = (Equal Sign), MUSIC BOX: REFLECTION, WHAT IF, SAFETY ZONE, FUTURE, ARSON are my FAVOURITES!! every track is sooo good!!! Besides the hip-hop influences, his musicality, the beat- his lyricism is literally genius! I could slap 'STOP' for an essay/debate as a HUMMS student XD he's a fellow Rousseau philosophy enthusiast!! This album really showed a lot of HIMSELF and what he can do and to those that looks down on his "solo" skills. J-HOPE is a brand of his own and he's so diverse and great at everything. I really treasure this gift from him. And I'm so proud of him being more open of his struggles and the weight of his name, of being "HOPE", and how he carried that lifestyle, that responsibility, deep into his heart with such care and fear of its nature which he reflects in 'PANDORA'S BOX' & 'WHAT IF'. And for a fact, he's the most reliable person to ever be granted of such name. He owned it, gave it meaning, proved and worked so hard to be worthy of it- and he did. I know this might not make a lot of sense, but Jack In The Box is like a reassurance of Hope World. It's like the album is the future, talking to the past "you're j-hope from Hope World and I'm *the* j-hope you're holding onto" he's his own light. Just like everyone being his hope, my hope, my lifeline- Jung Hoseok's hope is himself, and if you read his lyrics, he tells you words that he hoped someone had told him. It's hard to give him advice or try to emphatize with him. He's the one and only j-hope, with j-hope problems. No-one can truly understand his position. You can reach out to him as a brother, as a son, as an idol, as a rapper, as a dancer, as a member, as a fan- but you can't really reach out as another hope. That's why his lyrics mostly feels so enclosed and heavily within himself. Because he figured it out that it's him he was all he needed. He needs to trust himself of being HOPE instead of tryna keep it as just a persona, and he tells us that he's accepted it and ready to take MORE. I like that the more he's aware of himself, unlike most that let it gets over their heads and becomes self-destructive, he continues to lead the way of a better mindset, of positivity, of being out there, that it doesn't have to be that way. He's not just reflecting, he knows he's the problem and he knows how to solve it. And now he unlocks the point beyond those thoughts of negativity, he sees out of himself, and realized that he wants that unique status, he wants to keep the pace, he wants to keep it burning. He realizes this dream after being freed out of his shackles. There's always a bigger picture, no matter what you think you had or will be, you'll find something even worthy. I'm having a huge boost of adrenaline and I'm typing this straight out my consciousness so forgive me if it's a blabbering mess. I really enjoyed the reaction and seeing everyone felt the same way when the vocals came in LOL that's our vocalist j-hope!!! That's all, enjoy the album and have a nice day ^^
Yes, the whole album gives me nostalgia, too. I grew up in the 90s, and this is the sound I was listening to. I mean, technically Hobi is a 90s baby, too, so I love the vibes and concept in this album. Hearing Hobi’s vocals instead of just harmonies and ad-libs in BTS songs is niiice, too. “Music Box: Reflection” is in my top, even though it doesn’t have any lyrics. It’s like mischievous but comforting in a way. I’ve already added his whole album to my driving playlist. Hobi says he’s nervous, but I know he’s about to pop off at Lollapalooza. So excited! BTW, I’m not sure if the whole weekend or which artists will be on it, but Hulu is going to stream Lollapalooza. ^_^
Being a 90’s kid, it just brings so much happiness to me when hearing Hoseok’s album. It’s brilliant and well-made you can tell he put his soul into this and that he was heavily influenced from 90’s hip hop. Like you listen to this album you certainly don’t expect to hear Hoseok album sound like this and yet when you hear it you automatically are like “this is deadass JUNG HOSEOK” this is HIM, His alley, this whole sound is just HIM. it’s amazing and after reading the lyrics for all the songs, the messages he puts out in each of these songs are remarkable and it just makes me want to yell “TALK YO SHIT HOBI” Like it’s amazing how even though this album is short it makes crave for MORE after listening. You just can sit here and listen to the album over and over again plus grow a deeper love for the album. Hoseok is an ARTIST! This chapter 2 is so amazing and it makes me happy because we get to sit here and see each member individuality and creativity! Also just wanted add how versatile Hoseok is honestly amazing. Like this man went from learning how to rap from scratch to becoming a versatile king with an insane flow 😭❤️ So to let you know on one of the songs on the album, it’s called “What If” Hobi sampled Ol Dirty Bastard “Shimmy Shimmy Ya” which was co written by ODB and RZA of Wu-Tang Clan. Also to add into this fun fact “Jack in the box” is a type of House dance! If you guys didn’t know. I say you should watch JHOPE’s comeback vlive! He goes in depth in explaining the process of making this album come to life and his songs.
What’s funny about this the boys always get inspired by eachother. At the Pre releasing Party that Hoseok hosted like a day or two ago Hoseok explained Jungkook got so inspired by his music on jack in the box that he went to his studio. And he also explained how he loves that they always inspired by eachother to create better things 🥺
Hearing this has sent me off to talk (A LOT) about how Jack in the Box on the surface could seem so different from Hope World, but that it really it fits right in with his style (I tried explaining to people how Daydream is a house track and I lost some people but I will come back to that one day.) Anyone who knows he started off as a street dancer would know that his style of riding the beat and bounce comes directly from all the music happening in the 90s...boom bap and backpack and house (I realized there was a whole group of Armys that had never heard Wu Tang, and by extension had no idea of what rap and hip hop sounded like in the 90s). To try and help them understand why this album is so special and WHY that sample was so special, I had to make lots of playlists. This then led me to make a Hip Hop Phile playlist, because it's one thing to know the names of people that inspired them, but it's another to hear for yourself the songs and sounds that were helping shape their style. I'm sooooo glad JITB went this way, and I hope it encourages newer fans to explore older BTS and Hope World with a different appreciation.
@@Danielle42381 I heavily agree ! But it still baffles me though to how some people don’t know who wu-tang clan is but at the same time you can know a genre exist but not know every single person that sits in it so it’s cool to educate and get others to understand those who inspired and shape/mold their favorite artists these days with their music 😭
Sorry I’m sending a lot of comments lmao 😭 he laid out the songs this certain order because it tells a story. And you have to listen to it in this way so you understand the message and the story ✨
While I love their versatility with other genres like the poppiest of pop, EDM, ballad, orchestral, and etc..., I mainly became a fan of them because of their hiphop, rnb, and heavy rap influence especially in their early days. I became an ARMY since 2014 so this new release Jack In The Box really got me so hyped and happy that theyre going back to their roots but making new music as well. I love it. I am all for their solo releases. ❤️
i mean he DID learn rap from namjoon and yoongi in the beginning so i'm sure he gets a lot of inspiration from both of them. and the vocal line too. they all inspire each other and i love that so much
he did NOT learn from them he said he got inspiration from the songs he used to listen to when he was an underground dancer. namjoon or yoongi didn’t invent hip-hop saying he learned from them when he said himself this album was inspired by old hip hop is kinda discretising black artists.
I wish people would stop characterizing it like that. RM & Suga didn't sit Hobi down and teach him how to rap. And there were half a dozen other rappers in the lineup when Hoseok joined. He of course watched them and took their advice but he himself says he's self-taught. Let's give Hoseok a little more credit for the initiative he took, the decade of immersion in hip hop culture he had through dance, and the hard work he put into developing a style that is totally different than what RM & Suga do.
J-Hope's 'Jack in The Box' is his love letter to hip-hop and storytelling. I love the conscious messages ("Equal Sign" is a true standout) and the two different sides to the LP (Plus that Ol' Dirty Bastard sample is brilliant) a tweet by Jeff Benjamin.
This album of Hobi is crazy like a circus which means, you will not know what type of song he will sing and on how he will attack and deliver his songs. Aside from More and Arson, I love =Equal Sign.
I didn't know what to expect but I knew it would be quality, I did not expect a Wu Tang Clan sample 🥰, and I love the entire album. I agree that it show more of a growth in him and not just a change. I wish I was going to Lollapalooza to see him live 😢 but I will settle for streaming on Hulu
LOVE the comment at 10:15 about him being inspired by mono because he recently said he would hear namjoon’s work and go off to the studio because he was inspired and wanted to show what he could do as a soloist as well!! and that jungkook did the same thing when he heard jack in the box lol they inspire each other, it’s so great to see
Yes it is clearly a 10/10… Love Jack in the box as well as the whole concept and all material he has prepared along with the album, J-Hope is a genius!
I think he was bringing back the style of the 90s hip-hop flow. Not to knock mono because mono is amazing, but it kind of reminds me of Scarface and other artists like him with that style of flow
This is J-HOPE going back to where he started . Obviously this is J-HOPE being a grown ass man like he is . Like they are asking eveyone to let them because the best to come . Their management told them for very beginning that BTS would not get in way of their rap career !!!
This album was 🔥🔥🔥🔥! I'm sure Hobi took inspiration from both RM and Suga as you can hear both of their sounds a bit in Hobi's music. From what I've read Hobi initially was supposed to be a singer for the group, but gave the singing spot to V and he decided to rap. Best choice I think, but I do love his regular singing voice. All in all this album was everything I was hoping it would be!! I can't wait to hear what's to come next!! 💜💜💜
That's actually a false rumor, since BTS was a rap group and was not gonna have any singers when j-hope joined. So j-hope learned rap from RM & SUGA as a trainee and the singers were added on later. However, it's a popular rumor and j-hope happens to be really good at singing so I don't blame people for thinking that lol
By way of correcting misinfo and pushing back on your take: nothing on this album sounds like Joon or Yoongi. Like literally none of it. Unless you have really general ideas about what rap sounds like and put things into broad categories, I think they all come from very different places. And this is so so Hobi. Also, Hobi was a member of BTS almost 2 years before Tae joined. He was always supposed to be a rapper.
@@jhopeur7219 What I meant is that you can hear some of the same things that both other rappers do in Hobi's songs, but he does have his own unique sound that is a lot different. However, on another note, there's no reason to be rude about what other people think. It's my opinion and you have yours and we all hear things differently.
I completely agree with you. It's not another hobi it's just updated with the same core. And it really shows how well he's worked on his craft to refine it. Hobipalooza is gonna be crazy though. JITB is sick though. Not what I expected but very very pleasantly shook. I can't stop listening to it
All the people going to lollapalooza on Sunday who don’t really know hoseok or BTS are in for a serious treat🔥🔥🔥 this album blew me away. So proud!
i wanna go soooo bad
"Is that JK" - made me laugh. People always gets suprised by how alike they sound in the high range
Yeah I had to listen to that part a few times to hear whether it was JK or Hobi cuz they sound so similar in that part. Lol
yeah they did that in Boy meets Evil when it was himself
10/10 no skip album and he fucking killed it!!
my god jhope is single handedly bringing back REAL HIP HOP back
So what was Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, Joey Bad4ss, Freddie Gibbs been doing then? singing R&B or something? 😂😂😂😂
HE REALLY OUTDID HOPE WORLD, LIKE THE EXPECTATION MEETS (I MEAN HE'S TOP IT OUT.)
my fave is equal sign - because it reminds me of where is the love by black eyed peas.
It's so weird to say this, but like I was not expecting much from the album in the sense that I was okay for it to be just okay. YET, it wasn't just okay, how is that possible???!!! I've listened to the album 4 times already and I'm ...speechless? (Also I really love Pandora's Box ...). This was great for real. like wow.
Ikr omg I was thinking tat this is not gonna be for me I mean I wouldn't like this kinda music but I'm loving it!!! N yeah we want more!
Same I love Pandora’s box
I was expecting a lot considering hope world was so good. He delivered on both albums
i was expecting greatness ofc bc i know hm but it was even betterrrr
whenever an artist releases an album, I like 2 or 3 songs out of, say, 10. And it's normal, it's hard to like all of the songs. And, somehow, I love ALL the songs from JITB. ALL. I don't know how that's possible, but it is the way it is. Hobi outdid himself and everyone
I’ll be very mad if this doesn’t win album of the year
It needs mainstream hits aka pop for it to be an album of the year. This is not kpop. Its k hiphop.
It won't. This isn't mainstream music it's more along the lines of music created for the culture. U just have to look at how many Armys are upset to the point of calling the album trash or saying it's 5/10 at best just because it's not their type of music. Hope World is more in tune with want mainstream listeners want. If Hobi had just capitalized on his popularity and just dropped Hope World 2.0 then we'd probably be having a different conversation. I really respect the risk being taken.
@@livelovelife32 armyy????
Wtf you talking about...
It's kpopies who are mad...
They have been dragging on the Internet.
Armys are the only ones supporting him..
I agree with the replies, this is probably too edgy for an award like that even though I think he deserves it

As soon as I heard the piano from shimmy shimmy ya I lost my mind, I got so hype😭🔥 the whole album was like a time capsule from the 90s, amazing.
I did the first listen in the car and when I heard the “shimmy shimmy ya” I sample, my mouth dropped!!! I’m kinda over samples now but hobi did not disappoint!! It sounded so good!!! Glad to know others noticed and loved the sample too!
I love how the stank face was increasing with time at the beginning, haha!
As a 90s baby, the vibe of this album is so nostalgic to me. 💜

BOP AFTER BOP AFTER BOP JUNG HOSEOK IS INSANEEEEEE
As someone born in the late 80s, this album has a lot of 90s influence, it brought me back lol
Lolol when you freaked out about his singing and asked if he was JK at one point.....Yeah, Hobi is a sub-vocalist for BTS for a reason. ;)

It's a masterpiece, it's all I can think to say.
Hobi did NOT come to play with this album. I'm so proud of him.
I am from 1983 this all album is so cool i remember my youth listening beasty boys, fat boy slim, simple plan etc. I love it
Music box: Hobi's gift to fans. A nice tune to rap on lol
i liked daydream and ect, but nothing can beat MORE!!! its just my kinda music the styling of the mv and the vibe.
100/10
Part of the beat from “what if” is sampled from ODB (Ol’ Dirty Bastards)- Shimmy shimmy yah.
some of the beats reminds me of BTS’ beginning days🙌

i looove this album!! Safety zone is such a good song
King released THE album of the decade.
OMG TASTE future is my favorite song i cant stop listening to it!!!! his singing is so good!!!!!
I hear the influence of Heavy D and the Boyz I hear Wu-Tang I hear West Coast I feel the nostalgia of the 90s R&B/hip-hop vibes

While I love their versatility with other genres like the poppiest of pop, EDM, ballad, orchestral, and etc..., I mainly became a fan of them because of their hiphop, rnb, and heavy rap influence especially in their early days. I became an ARMY since 2014 so this new release Jack In The Box really got me so hyped and happy that theyre going back to their roots but making new music as well. I love it. I am all for their solo releases. ❤️
I think J-Hope took RM and Suga's "lessons", mixed them with his own way to feel music, blended it all and... Here we are!! A masterpiece!!
Hobi DOES sing many times before. For example at the opening of Spring Day. This is not his first time singing.
i mean he DID learn rap from namjoon and yoongi in the beginning so i'm sure he gets a lot of inspiration from both of them. and the vocal line too. they all inspire each other and i love that so much
he did NOT learn from them he said he got inspiration from the songs he used to listen to when he was an underground dancer. namjoon or yoongi didn’t invent hip-hop saying he learned from them when he said himself this album was inspired by old hip hop is kinda discretising black artists.
@@junghoseok1014 i guess you did not understand what he was saying. Specially "discrediting" black artist! So stop please🙂
I wish people would stop characterizing it like that. RM & Suga didn't sit Hobi down and teach him how to rap. And there were half a dozen other rappers in the lineup when Hoseok joined. He of course watched them and took their advice but he himself says he's self-taught. Let's give Hoseok a little more credit for the initiative he took, the decade of immersion in hip hop culture he had through dance, and the hard work he put into developing a style that is totally different than what RM & Suga do.
You should stop spreading wrong info about them.
It on repeat for a month Jhope is such a beautiful person and amazing artist
JREKML said that 8:12 got a sample from Shimmy Shimmy Ya by ODB
I love hobi! And I love everything he do 😍
i like u put part of ur reaction to the whole album！🤘🏽
this is fireeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
J-Hope's 'Jack in The Box' is his love letter to hip-hop and storytelling. I love the conscious messages ("Equal Sign" is a true standout) and the two different sides to the LP
(Plus that Ol' Dirty Bastard sample is brilliant) a tweet by Jeff Benjamin.
This album of Hobi is crazy like a circus which means, you will not know what type of song he will sing and on how he will attack and deliver his songs. Aside from More and Arson, I love =Equal Sign.
yeaaa I thought about joonie a lot while listening to it but i’m not complaining. i love this vibe a lot
100/10!! 🔥🔥🔥
Yessss🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Every song is GREAT! But Future is my fave!
About the reflection song as a kdrama fan, it reminded me of Kill me heal me kdrama a lot...
I didn't know what to expect but I knew it would be quality, I did not expect a Wu Tang Clan sample 🥰, and I love the entire album. I agree that it show more of a growth in him and not just a change. I wish I was going to Lollapalooza to see him live 😢 but I will settle for streaming on Hulu
NO CAP, NO TAP!
Jhope just kill it! DAMN!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Seb jamming to Future is me on the daily.
I love Jhope’s & IU’s duet on Equal sign.I didn’t the jack box music was on the album. Jhope has something to say!
Definitely some songs on the album do sound like hope world pt2 !!
LOVE the comment at 10:15 about him being inspired by mono because he recently said he would hear namjoon’s work and go off to the studio because he was inspired and wanted to show what he could do as a soloist as well!! and that jungkook did the same thing when he heard jack in the box lol they inspire each other, it’s so great to see
Yes it is clearly a 10/10… Love Jack in the box as well as the whole concept and all material he has prepared along with the album, J-Hope is a genius!
will you be doing reacting to the lyrics?
I think he was bringing back the style of the 90s hip-hop flow. Not to knock mono because mono is amazing, but it kind of reminds me of Scarface and other artists like him with that style of flow
This is J-HOPE going back to where he started . Obviously this is J-HOPE being a grown ass man like he is . Like they are asking eveyone to let them because the best to come . Their management told them for very beginning that BTS would not get in way of their rap career !!!
Hobi killed
Future is amazing
This album was 🔥🔥🔥🔥! I'm sure Hobi took inspiration from both RM and Suga as you can hear both of their sounds a bit in Hobi's music.
From what I've read Hobi initially was supposed to be a singer for the group, but gave the singing spot to V and he decided to rap. Best choice I think, but I do love his regular singing voice.
All in all this album was everything I was hoping it would be!! I can't wait to hear what's to come next!! 💜💜💜
That's actually a false rumor, since BTS was a rap group and was not gonna have any singers when j-hope joined. So j-hope learned rap from RM & SUGA as a trainee and the singers were added on later. However, it's a popular rumor and j-hope happens to be really good at singing so I don't blame people for thinking that lol
By way of correcting misinfo and pushing back on your take: nothing on this album sounds like Joon or Yoongi. Like literally none of it. Unless you have really general ideas about what rap sounds like and put things into broad categories, I think they all come from very different places. And this is so so Hobi. Also, Hobi was a member of BTS almost 2 years before Tae joined. He was always supposed to be a rapper.
@@aggeyboii1753 hints why I said from what I've read and heard. Thank you for clarifying for me. I'm a very baby Army so I'm learning as I go. :)
@@jhopeur7219 What I meant is that you can hear some of the same things that both other rappers do in Hobi's songs, but he does have his own unique sound that is a lot different. However, on another note, there's no reason to be rude about what other people think. It's my opinion and you have yours and we all hear things differently.
Nothing like RM
Maybe I missed it but I wanted to know if you read the lyrics of each song?
MANNNNNN ,U SHOULD REACT TO B.I/ BTBT.
Hell yesss…. Please!!!
immediately yes
BITCH I WAS WAITING FOR THIS SEB U GOTTA REACT TO THE ITZY ALBUM
aint no body can call this kpop
I completely agree with you. It's not another hobi it's just updated with the same core. And it really shows how well he's worked on his craft to refine it. Hobipalooza is gonna be crazy though.
JITB is sick though. Not what I expected but very very pleasantly shook. I can't stop listening to it
