This is not a reaction video, this is a whole educational video, great humor, music recommendation.
Sleep feel free to take your time on these videos, great editing!
THIS!!! I love understanding more about the music, because it adds to the enjoyment. All the notes and explanations are so top tier
💯
yessss exactly like its a whole package, we appreciate it so much so take ur time
Sleep’s editing is so on point…the pop up infos, the graphics….he’s so clever and funny.
💯 agree! I learnt lot of things today 💜
18:47 "he raps like a dancer" EXACTLYYYYYYY
yes!
@@stormkive4356 we use to say RM raps with his brain, Suga raps with his guts and Hobi raps with his body.
i left another comment but consider checking out his docuseries hope on the street to see him reconnect with his dance roots. it doesnt have to be on camera but its paired with an album he made to be the soundtrack of the series! one track per genre/style of dance that he does each episode
I loved this!!!
Realest thing I ever heard
"I don't know if any of you know what floppy discs are." You sound like Yoongi 🤣.
Right? I saved my first college papers on floppy disks, sir! I not only know what they are, I owned and used many, back in the day. 😂
Wayyy a lot of us not only know floppy discs but prolly still have em hanging out somewhere in our homes 😅
@@OT7_DopeOldARMY I had a game on a floppy disc that I used to love and I'm so mad that the floppy disc got lost and I have no idea what the name of the game was, because it was my favorite thing as a child 😆
@@AngelaSealana I bet I do in boxes from high school or college, in my attic…lol
snickers
This is not a reaction video, it's a whole music analysis and deconstruction, with humor and DAD JOKES added for good measure! Thank you so much. I learned a bit and smiled a lot.
Right?! My thoughts exactly💜
And no matter how long Sleep takes to provide us with these contents, I'll be waiting patiently coz I know it'll be sooooo worth the wait🤩💜
@@carmencrespo5704 💜😊 I love these kinds of takes. I know reactions are a big thing, but yes.. deep dives are my thing!
@@Hermione87 💜💜🤗
To all the ARMYs watching, please be respectful to both of them. Their choices, likes or dislikes dont reflect the artistry that BTS has. Be mindful and don't PUSH BTS DOWN THEIR THROATS. Let'em enjoy whatever they wanna enjoy. Let them critically listen to the music and form their own opinions.
We are the face of BTS. LETS NOT CREATE CHAOS DOWN HERE. JUST ENJOY!!!!
"WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!" Is so accurate no matter when you join. 😂
The first thing armys say when they become an army 🤭😂😂
@@tanarmy-1304 a 100%!! 😆
true bu5t also i have never said it. They just went over my head.
STRAY KIDS IS THE KING OF KPOP,,,,,,
@@himaririku9254Weren't you screaming for bigbang?!
As a 31yo hip hop head and ARMY, these are the EXACT types of reaction videos I have been searching for forever!! Keep doing these, they are super dope - especially the educational pieces for those who are not versed in hiphop and the origin of samples.
Varnell’s ability to isolate a single sound and pinpoint the sample is truly iconic. As soon as he says it I can hear the original too.
about armys comments, if we see respect to Bts, we not gonna begin any drama. even if you don't like a record or album its absolutely fine, we just always asking for respect and honesty
Ditto
Agreed!!! The only thing we ask for is respect for them as an artist, you don't like some of their music? That's totally fine! Everyone has different tastes in music and that's okie. You just have to give them a chance, I'm pretty sure once you become an army you'll like everything as you are open to understanding then more 🤭😁
yep yep
Said it just right
That being said, there are factions that consider themselves "ARMY" but are only here for clout, drama, and solos, cosplayers and antis that are here to make us, and therefore BTS, look bad.
Varnell and Sleep, just know, if things start turning, checking those accounts will show that they are essentially antis trying their hardest to create dissent and chaos among us. Please ignore them.
BTS and music aside, y'all friendship and they way you play off each other is so entertaining. Im only 2 minutes in and im cracking up. Dude is hilarious.
They are giving black cat and golden retriever energy 😂
nods, same
@@krissyj snorts
Yesssss
STRAY KIDS IS THE KING OF KPOP,.,.
Forgot to say how well this album was received by music critics when it was released in 2022. Rolling Stone had it at number 9 on the list of the top 100 albums of 2022.
RM analyzes the world
Suga criticizes the world
Jhope visualizes the world
You get a comprehensive outlook on life with each of their rap styles.
I can't wait for you to watch Jhope at Lollapalooza(Hobipalooza the festival and Chicago Mayor themselves renamed it for him) he was amazing.
lolapooza with subs next will be fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire
great idea! ruclips.net/video/BDhHGIYY5HY/видео.htmlsi=TloSmARM3khWemDD and ruclips.net/video/ler3CbM9aoI/видео.htmlsi=-yfe4vIwDQL2P6Mf
Enjoy BTS More
They have to do lollapalooza set
OMG YES PLEASE
STRAY KIDS IS THE KING OF KPOP,,,,,,
I was about to go to sleep BUT NEVERMIND!
😂☕
Real🤧
you went to sleep('s channel) instead, close enough.
Me too it's late here
.....I just got up from a nap 😂
Wow I have never thought about the unfairness of copyright regarding samples nor knew the weight it had/has on hiphop. Love to be socially educated. Really opened my eyes there
Copyright has been around since the founders (1790), and soon after technology was created to record music, music recordings were protected, too (I think 1913). But copyright’s extension to music SAMPLES wasn’t until the early 1990s, when the technology developed.
(Like, I think you got that, but it was a little confusing in the video, so I figured I’d drop it here.)
@@yourfriendlyneighbor7165 yeah, that’s why I added the correction, but prior to hip hip it was so easy to cover a song and profit from it. So many songs with major artists having their own versions on radio back in the day.
@@T7Karou I’ve seen some really aggressive and unfair deals when it comes to sample clearance. It’s definitely an interesting topic when you dive deeper into it. Look up the Biz Markie case in 1991 if you want to learn more.
Also, the way he said “Rapline” was so precious 😂😂😂 Like a child learning a word that they’ll use nonstop 💜💜💜 So precious I really appreciate you two and your genuine hearts
Tell him to no fight it. ARMY has a saying "BTS finds you when you need them more" a I promise is so true.
Agreed. Every army has a story, everytime BTS has found us when we needed them the most in our lives the, just slowly come in silently like a cat and then make a home in our hearts.
Those DAD JOKES really fits with Jin´s sense of humor... this will be a prediction of a Bias Wrecker ??
Yaaaaaas! You said it! Commenting to this so we can go back here when you're right 😔
I thought the same!! I actually did LOL at his joke ngl 😂
I’m betting on Jimin but with his humor..yeah Jin can get him too. XD
STRAY KIDS IS THE KING OF KPOP,.,.
feels like the whole vocal line will be bias wreckers...and just wait until he discovers RunBTS The Show...!!! Varnell is already purple blooded :D love it!
@VarnellHill
Rap line = RM, SUGA, & j-hope
Vocal line = Jungkook (JK), Jimin, Taehyung (V), and & Jin
Dance line= j-hope, Jimin, Jungkook (JK), & Taehyung (V)
3J = j-hope, Jimin, & Jungkook (JK)
Re: Safety Zone
The additional vocals at the end are courtesy of Jaicko Lawrence, and I loved his inclusion in the track. I also wanted more of his voice and the female vocals as well, but I think in the long run, the emotions are conveyed really well by Jaicko's brief appearance and then fade away; it really evokes that fleeting feeling of safety, and the longing for its return.
J Hope in some records LITERALLY dances his bars across the rhythm, can't say it any better but you'll know it when you hear it. For me, RM is the Poet, Yoongi is the Producer and J Hope is the Dancer, that's the root of their hip hop.
baby ARMY: Where have i been?
OG ARMY: we know, we know, we'd been there my friend.
Reading this as a baby army (1 year) and seeing him is like- yep ik, same, same
Thanks for sharing, Sleep!
Adem 😄
long time no see!
hope that you're doing well :)))
I see an hour YT reaction, I’m like “naw, I’m old and I got better things to do with the time I got left”, but you and Varnell doing this is the fastest hour on YT. Thanks for the education, thanks for the insight, thanks for the camaraderie. 💜💜💜
The 1st video i watched, the one for RPWP, i told myself i’ll watch it for 2 mins just to check it out. I ended up watching the whole video 😆😆. Fastest hour indeed!
Same.
Teaching him the finger heart at the end 😂 I'm loving this series and can't wait for the next episode!
I love that you explained how you two take in music first as producers and that you'll look at lyrics later. I respect that! We all consume music differently so it's cool to hear it from a different perspective. I'm a art director and so I take in all the visuals first and the storytelling and aesthetics first before the music. So it's really cool to hear about the things you two talk about because those things would totally go over my head.
I agree, I am learning so much. My background is in writing, and I always go to the lyrics first. It's really fun to see how professional producers approach a song. I really appreciate the little lessons along the way.
Me too @@noelmontrey7972
Is so amazing
This video is a lesson. I didn’t grow up with hip hop so I never have the vocabulary to talk about an album like this and why it hits so hard. So, I really appreciate the hip hop history lessons, the production lessons, the sampling basics, etc., using an album I love as an example. So fun, so respectful, so in-depth; thanks so much 💜💜
Yes, exactly! You said it well! In-depth, but fun & respectful. Sleep is sharing with us yet another way to enjoy BTS' music, and showcasing his own passion for music/creativity. Varnell's expertise & exuberance is a real treat to watch. When it comes from the heart, it's so meaningful.
100% agree
Ok now I finished the video and I must say:
When I got introduced to jhope by watching his lollapalooza performance video almost 2 years ago, I was shocked that he’s from bts. I was so sure that I won’t like the others or their groups music. I thought that he MUST be the very best member, the most charismatic one, the best performer, the best dancer… oh girl, I was in for the wildest discovery mission in my life. Little did I know. I was humbled a lot in this time and found so much joy in this bora world they created for and with ARMY. It’s the most rewarding thing to be invited by others to watch them getting to know those musicians, even more when it’s people like you with a lot of expertise that know how to entertain as well. Thank you for sharing 💜
For people who know nothing about the behind the scenes musical production, it's great to have these tidbits and fun facts. Thanks! 😉
This is seriously my favourite BTS introduction reactions! It’s more fascinating because you are describing the influences, history and process of hip hop production.
Yessssssss very informative. So interesting and makes me appreciate it more learning all that stuff. Thank you sirs! 💜
57:18 "If all of them are together, they may not be that great" and we all laughed in unison 🤣🤣
nah he's in for a BIG surprise fr fr 😭 im SO looking forward to future reactions lol 💜
I love watching people turn to full fledged ARMY!
😂😂😂😂This is going to be so much fun!
like he would be in crumbles once he listens to run bts 😭
@@13alyssaross I'm waiting for it!😂😂😂😂
lmao i was cackling like a hyena
I've been an army for almost 7 years now, and I always learn something new from BTS, watching your videos and seeing the passion you have for music, for hip-hop, for the things that BTS' members have been sharing with us since before debuting is really refreshing, with your help I feel like I learned more than in the past 7 years about them, because seeing them thru the lens of fellow artists really showcases their art on more deep personal level, so thank you so much for these videos, they are positive, refreshing, educational and very meaningful to every ARMY, because you see them as they want to be seen, as artists, as singers, as creative people, not feelingless money pumping machine and us as brainless teenage girls who only care about their looks and trivial things such as their shoe size :DD
p.s. I hope you continue to share these kind of videos
p.s.s and I wish you could record video with an army and analyse their music by combining your knowledge in music and production and army's facts that we meticulously collected from whatever the boys share with us, from behind the scenes of production, their ideas, thought processes and etc.
Easily one of the best reaction videos I’ve seen. Thanks, not just for letting us watch Varnell fall down the rabbit hole, but for legitimately discussing the music. Had me screaming “that’s what I said!” so many times, too, especially the HOP/Onyx/MJB/NJS vibes, then an MPC tutorial? Come on 🔥btw about that meter, placing my bet now, V is gonna be the army-est army. Feel like it’s impossible to love music and not love BTS bc they love it, too. Blah blah blah, sorry, I just appreciate you 💜
💜💜 haha thank you! This comment made me smile, I’m happy you enjoyed all the extra details.
I SENSED A DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE AND SOMEHOW KNEW THIS HAD LANDED

STRAY KIDS IS THE KING OF KPOP.....
😂❤
You'll have to see his Lollapalooza Chicago Concert where he was the headline act and had the biggest attendence ever for the history of Lollapalooza Chicago. It's were J Cole waited to see meet him.
He definitely drew a big crowd, but the attendance was higher because they had just increased the maximum attendance that year. We don’t actually know how many people were at his stage though. Articles about it just mentioned total people in attendance that day, since no one is actually there tallying it.
They did mention the fact that Sunday sold out a lot faster than usual, and that there was a spike after Jhope was announced as a headliner
@@NatalieMarie917 ticket selling went quickly, sold out Sunday show for the first time in years (even after, as you said, they apparently increased the max attendance), his merch sold out-worth over 1M. had millions of viewers on Weverse alone, was at the top of the trends. graphs show that the spike in lollapalooza online conversations was during hobi's set. the local officials thanked army for boosting the local economy that weekend because it was filled with cup sleeve and other fan events. the mayor introduced hobi's stage along with the organizer.
I really don't think his impact should be downplayed
This!!
@@NatalieMarie917 The aerial view of the crowd and all those ARMY bombs just glowing so brightly really put it out there that Hobi attracted some serious numbers.
Yes!!!!
"Oh wow, this is like a heart" bro your heart eyes- he's melting into a purple puddle haha. BTW we appreciate this a lot sleep and varnell, truly. As a regular listener, I personally couldn't get into hip-hop because all I saw were fights and dissing + female sexualization. But since my introduction to bts and the rapline? It's been better, I can respect the beats and the art. More so with the information you have been sharing, these little insights and facts make the whole albums and tracks much more understandable from an artist's perspective. And yes, as a collective army's are the most supportive and kind fandom ever, bangtan nurtured us and you fall for bangtan the same way you fall for the army's, it's a whole positivity bundle of wonderfulness, them and us together.
PS- we would looooove to hear everything about "Run BTS" because that song is dope af, especially the choreography video. Can that be an introduction to bts for Varnell? Because it was my first video I checked out of them (baby army here) and ngl I died and resurrected into a new person that day.
PS PS- Varnell if you read this let me tell you the meaning of purple and why it is our color, in one of the fan meets (2016) V (aka Kim Taehyung) came up with the term "Borahae"; it means like the last color of rainbow which is bora (purple), ARMY and BTS would trust and love each other till the end of time + 7 colors of rainbow with 7 members of bts.
LMAO the denial every time the vids start 🤣
At first it was frustrating but now it’s just funny cuz you know he’s bluffing atp 😭
It is hilarious 😂
2:19 Nah, not him gaslighting himself 😂
Varnell can’t deny his journey to becoming ARMY!💜
I am crackling😭
I am dying 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
the lady doth protest too much, as the wise men say
he enjoys every album but every next video starts with denying he enjoyed it like we didn't see him in 4K 😭
FACT: BTS was recently named number 1 the "MOST AWARDED ARTIST OF ALL TIME" breaking Michael Jackson's record. BTS have accumulated over 1400 awards in a single decade as a group. Varnell is gonna really flip the switch when he sees J-Hope performance at HOBIPALOOZA and when he met up with J-Cole before the performance. He would also like the Hope on the Street Docuseries. There is also the Agust-D D-Day concert film. RM performed INDIGO for a small crowd of ARMY of which that's on RUclips as well. Can't wait to see his reaction when he hears the cyphers, hip-hop phile, Born Singer (the old and PROOF 2022 version), Baaepsae, Ddaeng, UGH, Louder than Bombs, and RUN BTS. As an intro to the group make him listen to Map of the Soul, since he had it but never listened to it. HE GONNA REALLY CURSE AND KICK HIMSELF WHEN HE FINALLY LISTENS TO THE MAP OF THE SOUL ALBUM.
I hope BTS finds your channel. They will really enjoy your observations and insights. BTS Beyond The Story, their official book, went into detail on how during pre-debut, RM and Suga held "hiphop" classes in their dorm to expose the rest of the team to the culture. RM would give them usbs with playlists and encouraged them to listen to as many hiphop artists as possible. Hobi learnt rapping from Suga and RM and developed his own style. BTS studied hard because the original plan was to debut a hiphop group. When the direction changed into an idol group, it is a relief that they kept their hiphop roots. To this day, their strong grasp of hiphop shows in their group and solo albums.
I know Namjoon will make sure their comeback album will be true to who BTS are musically and sonically. He said as much in the Mini & Moni Music Exhange conversation with Jimin.
Lol, Sleep Deez is the producer of My Time and has worked with BTS and PDogg before. I'm pretty sure they know his channel. ;)
The line dance joke was solid. Jin would approve 🤣🤣
Let the man feel the music first. That’s how I got into BTS. The feel. Music is a universal language after all. Don’t tell people how to fall in love. Please.
EXACTLY. For me its music first, and lyrics second. I NEED to be moved by the beat.
@@gidero Not saying lyrics do not matter. Of course.
As an Army who grew up in the 90s listening to all the artists you referenced, this entire video had me smiling from ear to ear. I swear I almost shed a tear when you compared some of his sound to a mix between Onyx and PE! Thank you for giving JHope the time and appreciation he deserves so much. I’m so proud of him and all his accomplishments. 💜
Also a huge thank you to the extra insights and education. I’m just getting into music production and this was such a valuable way to learn. You two are amazing!!!
In a world where BTS is always getting disrespected and underrated, this is so refreshing. Sleep, I appreciate your appreciation for these beautiful human beings. Your friend is wonderful!!
30:00 there's a rapline, vocal line, dance line, visual line, hyung line, maknae line, sass line, fashion line, cooking line, sports line & more with sub-units too 😅 welcome again to BTS💜
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
LMAO 😂😂
@@SnowRivera LOL sass line 🤣
The Kim line, the gamer line,..
This album was a a transition for jhope cause everyone always has this soft image of him, and this was the darkest side we’ve seen. I actually love it, and this shows the talent and variety hobi has.💕
"...but you can call me Jaaaaeeee" 🤍🖤🤍🖤❤️🔥
Can we please also stop this notion that Hobi was not "hard" and that he was always soft. 1Verse, Baseline, Hangsang will show you how gritty his music was from the start. His lyrics and flows, especially in the earlier BTS work, had so much to offer, he can level with Joon and Yoongi, who had been doing this longer than him.
I would argue Hobi learned to be "soft", musically, because he started "hard".
@@ChiP-30 That’s why I said “everyone always has this soft image of him”. Even with the old image BTS had, most people dont know about their first steps, and jhope wanted to show this dark phase which is really different from his first mixtape Hope World.
It also brings reallystic thoughts he had from pandemic, thats why its “darkest”🧌.
Ik exactly, before his music we have been introduced to his personality which is the complete opposite, yes he has his "dark" or down moments but he's the positive hope guy who's always laughing. Right now Varnell has seen him as aggressive in his musicality so I'm waiting when he's introduced to the HOBI SUNSHINE pew pew pew version of him (he's gonna have an aneurysm kekeke)
@@kj08130 hahaha yees, Im really expecting for his reaction✨
Our amazing Rap Line are all students of Rap/Hip Hop. Hobi (J-Hope) literally told J Cole "You are my muse." These 3 men LOVE this genre and always want to show the proper respect of where it came from, the roots and then add their own twist to it that relates to them and their culture (their Korean culture). Meshing the two together and like Varnell said, showing another group of people this music/art form to others that may not have known about it before. THIS is what our guys do :) In the BTS song Hip Hop Phile (Lover) they list some of the old school artists they have looked up to and the list is long and deep. I love how they add nuggets of old hip hop songs/or word play styling it after old hip hop songs into their own music. Example: In the album Love Yourself: Tear in the song "So What"; a tiny nugget RM raps that is definitely a nod to Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock "It Takes Two". Individually these guys are incredible. But as a trio, on stage together, seeing your brothers; someone you know/trust/love/respect; these three become monsters on stage. It's a pretty incredible thing. Keep going Sleep, I am truly enjoying the schooling you are providing and watching Varnell fall LOL Thank you for doing this 🥰
FU SCHNICKENS!! HELL YESS!
It’s wonderful to see what I/we grew up on, legit saw develop before our eyes in early days of hip hop and R&B, come through so masterfully in these artists. I stg every artist name you dropped I yelled “YES EXACTLY” and you were dropping names like you got a hold of my book of CD’s from back in the DAY! BTS being students of the culture, they properly respect it, learn from it and enhance it in their way… that’s the way it should go, that’s the way it *IS* going with these exceptional musicians.
“Where have I been?” is MOOD! I asked my self over and over in 2019…and I’ll say it frankly - it’s because the lyrics are Korean and people let the language barrier stop them, amongst other things. But as we all know, you don’t need to know what they’re saying to know exactly what they’re saying. If we didn’t have the technology to find what we like instead of being fed it, us in the west may have never known about them.
I can’t thank you enough for these conversations, I truly feel what you discuss gets lost sometimes within the k-pop sphere they’re in. It all comes down to the music. That’s the foundation. That’s what it’s all about. Peel everything else away, if it wasn’t good music - we wouldn’t be here.
And I’m EXACTLY like you, I have to listen to the music and vibe before going to the lyrics, and I respect the hell out of the lyrics, but bc I don’t speak Korean so I have to do it in layers. I think because of that you can go deeper with each listen, prob why it hit you different this time Sleep.
What I think gets also gets missed is that j-hope was the recording engineer for every track of this album. Recording. Engineer. Impressive is an effin understatement.
Us rap line enthusiasts are gonna flip once you get to the cyphers. If doing videos, I suggest Cypher 3 at Summer Sonic 2015, then again at Yet to Come in Busan to compare and contrast - it’s amazing.
#CommentSquad
I'm sure you've heard this many times before, but in case you haven't... Thank you for always respecting bts and for treating them as equals. Too many people have dismissed them before they even listened. You are one of the few that have always seen them as musicians and not as stereotypes etc.... So again thank you!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I NEED YOUR REACTION TO J HOPE AT LOLLAPALOOZA THAT PRESENTATION IS LEGENDARY LIVE VOICE, INSTRUMENTS, DANCE, STAGE PRESENCE ALL IN ONE
yes
@svtarmy6330 They said that they will react to Hobipalloza after this, but I don't know where they will put the reaction..here on yt or patreon..
If it's on patreon, I definetely can't watch it 😢
That ending!! 🤣 Also, respectfully, a lot of army are older than the floppy disk! We come in all ages!! Thank you so much for making these!! I'm obsessed with this series and I keep learning so much 💜
I just saw that BTS is now the most awarded artist of all time with over 1400 awards.
Not him in denial about the conversion....Varnell STOP 😂😂😂
right, rolls eyes
“if all of them were together, they might not be that great” - Bro the way i laugh when i heard that 😂😂😂😂
I’m with sleepy, it was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard 😂😂😂😂😂😂 i loved 🤣🤣
Sleep, now I understand what you were saying about being more educational with this vids. This is solid GOLD, my friend. I'm not even exaggerating, I was FLOORED by the amount of history, this is a music school! Even with all the super thanks and patreon subs you got (and will surely keep getting), what you're doing for free is incredible. Thank you for allowing us to understand our boys on a deeper level, all while enjoying your wholesome friendship. I'll be recommending this to every Army I come across.
Lollapalooza...I don't go to concerts, I don't go anywhere, but I came out for J-hope and yelled every line with him. ARMY was awesome that night and J-hope was on fire. 💜
To be honest, the ARMY Conversion Meter has been rather conservative. No matter what Varnell wants you/us to believe.
snickers
@@DumplingFighter that meter is broken 😂
You need to see his Live Performance at Lolapalooza. He broke the record for being the no 1 Headliner that Lola ever had.
It was one heck of a show. I was there and it was one of the absolute best concerts I’ve ever attended, and I’ve attended some pretty insane concerts in my many years.
Varnell and is his Dad Jokes I’m calling it he’s going to be JIN biased 😂
J-hope is so precise with the rhythmic flow that reverb and even auto tune can take off the timing just that tiny bit. To me, that’s why he doesn’t use it as much as some other artists where the rhythm doesn’t take priority.
One of his signatures is how he plays with his vocal tone and the beat to create a very unique flow. He can beatbox and I often hear him playing with his voice like a beatboxer in the way he can manipulate his voice. More, Stop, Arson and Baseline (off Hope World) are examples of this.
It’s one of the things that makes him stand out. I love his raspy tone as much as I love his falsetto.
Our Hobi is talented.
First note: YOUR QUESTIONS ARE NOT DUMB. I love that you have questions bc that means you are actually interested and curious about stuff, so please keep asking, everyone went throughout a similar journey, so it’s okay.
Also I gotta say denial looks funny af 🤣🤣🤣 but also Im loving all the little tidbits of info that both Sleep and Varnell give us about music, it’s refreshing.
Im enjoyed your trip (and denial) a lot. And I wish you are enjoying this too.
Last note: J-hope full Lollapalooza performance is for free on YT if you want to see it! Even if you don’t record your reaction Im pretty sure you are gonna enjoy seeing him live + you will see how army will show up for any of the boys!
Cheers!
(Great heart at the end💜)
He is doing dad jokes like Jin.
I like a lot these reactions because I'm learning so much of music.
Ngl, I laughed so much at the joke!🤣
I laughed at that too😂
When the live performances start, it would be amazing for him to see jhope perform at Lollapalooza
"He's introducing people to hiphop who would never hear it" That's definitely true! It's because of BTS that I started listening to hiphop and rap more, and then thanks to reaction videos like this, I learned more about the music genre and its cultural background. Needless to say, growing up in western Europe in an overwhelmingly white environment, hiphop is so undervalued and underplayed here (like literally, if you compare our charts to global ones and US ones) Over the past years of being an ARMY I also came to appreciate hiphop a lot more and also started listening to a lot of hiphop artists (though BTS will always be no 1 for me!)
2:00 de-nile is a river in Egypt 🤣🤣🤣🤣
facts
He has a mixtape released before Jack In The Box, called Hope World, and he has a little EP that he wrote to be the soundtrack of his dance documentary called HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1 available on Prime Video
I know that people often have just their favorite tracks from an album on their playlist. But I find some of the tracks a bit jarring by themselves. For me, this album is just the best when I listen to all the tracks in order from start to finish. The album as a whole makes a powerful statement, and Hobi put so much thought into each song and the sequence of the tracks. I enjoy it so much. And now, I can appreciate it even more. I learned a lot, and the lessons were so fun. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Sleep and Varnell!
Definitely know, used and still have floppy discs stored away hahaha
Hobi!!! And as Suga shouts proudly "Jhoooooooppe!!!" Cannot wait to see your face when you watch Hobipalooza and Hope On The Street Vol. 1 documentary. Hobi's mastery of hiphop and topnotch dance skills (locking, popping, breakdancing, house etc) will get you off your chair and throwing shoes hahaha
Oh Varnell realised quickly after he said that even with all their record breaking achievements maybe as a group, BTS together may not be that great (once he listens to their albums)... that he was being ridiculous hahaha his expression when Sleep walked out was so funny
Thanks so much Sleep Deez for the crash course/ master class. Love how much I'm learning from your videos. My appreciation for Namjoon's, Yoongi's and Hobi's albums has gotten deeper.
Absolutely understand Varnell's insights on feeling the music. I come from the classical music background where there are no lyrics and one learns to appreciate each instrument especially in an orchestral piece. My love for opera which can be in different languages that I don't speak is another example yet I feel every emotion of each song throughout the entire opera's story. When Pavarotti sings Nessun Dorma, I cry every single time. When Itzak Perlman's violin weeps in Schindler's List theme, I sob as well. Music really great music evokes deep emotional responses transcending words. Sometimes lyrics are no longer required. They become superfluous.
Thumb hearts back! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Long Comment:
Lollapalooza performance is insane!
J-hope’s stage presence is phenomenal. I’m glad Varnell will get a taste of it because I feel like you don’t get the full j-hope experience without seeing him perform live.
Thanks so much for doing this reaction and for RM and Suga too. I love Jack in the Box album and his solo songs a lot! His musical taste is probably closest to my own pre-BTS and I love his flow. It’s very creative and catchy. He really imagines the song as a live performance as well so I think that is why he builds in places he can rest within the song.
This album was somewhat of a departure for him. He took a big risk and gave a great start to BTS’ chapter 2. All the guys really stretched themselves and tried new things in their solo work.
As someone who deeply misses the great beats and flows of 90’s hip hop, this album was also so refreshing. It felt like j-hope took a lot of the music I listen to and reimagined it.
I felt similarly when I listened to Right Place Wrong Person.
At some point you should see the documentary j-hope in the box because you can see him working on the album and preparing for Lollapalooza not even to react to it but just to enjoy it.
Suga’s documentary is very cool as well.
Sleep- you really did a lot of work in editing the video and providing context to both Varnell and to everyone watching. Thanks for that.
I hope you both have fun with this journey.💜
Yes just echoing this last bit. Thank you, Sleep, for putting in the work.
We vote him to see the MMA 2019 Performance next to shut him up & then continue. 😅
To be honest, I don´t think he is ready yet 😅. Maybe Born Singer "for the beginning"?
@@johannaerler331 😂😂 we have to shock him...give him the speechless factor 🤭
He gonna faint 😭😭😭
@@_taemyhope219 Sleep will need to have Medic on standby that's all 😂😂🤭. His ARMY Conversion Meter will be broken.
The song that will make him speechless honestly is Hip Hop Phile. That song will blow his mind.
bts honestly exposes army to sooo many genres and different types of sounds. i grew up just listening to pure pop, think american radio hits, and NEVER appreciated ballads, hip hop, rock etc. But as the boys put different tracks out, probably it's my bias towards them lol, i give everything a shot and end up loving whatever they do. And reaction channels like yours further deepen my appreciation for different sounds so please keep the educational aspect up, i love to hear the tidbits and songs that yall draw comparisons too :)
BTS' music is great to listen to, but their concerts and performances are on another level! Varnell can deny it for now, but the Jimin effect leaves no man unturned. 😂💜
He need to watch hobipalozaa full stage
Fun fact, jhope Met j Cole (his idol) at lolapalloza, and from there "hope on the street" collaboration Was born
Sleep and varnell together is like namjoon and jin sitting together 😂😂 so much bickering and teasing, random wise stuffs , and suddenly varnell making dad jokes just like jin. Loved your reaction, extra knowledge about the tracks and ofcrs abt army conversation meter 😂💜
Nuestro jhope no defrauda es versátil y muy apasionado en su ARTE!!
Cuando expertos como ustedes hablan bien del trabajo de jhope solo puedo llorar de la felicidad !!agradezco que reconozcan el talento de HOBI el se ha esforzado mucho para mostrar su arte es un artista humilde y perseverante ahora un SARGENTO líder e instructor en el ejército de Corea! Viva el HOBIPALLOZA 🔥🏆en 31 años de historia batió todos los récords 🥇!! Gracias por compartir su conocimiento con nosotros 🤝💜
Born singer (rendition of Born Sinner by Jcole) I recommend as group song but I also highly recommend the older live performance
Also I recommend Hip Hop Phile but you haven’t to know the lyrics bc the shout out a lot of hip pop artists that inspired them & a lot of them are in the west.
Love this so much guys! Thank you Varnell for giving this a chance and even if you don't like a track or album it's okay we all have different tastes. I appreciate how respectful you are and that your willing to give it a chance. I've not caught a live with Sleep before so only thing I suggest when on youtube live is having a mod or a few mods that you trust ready to join that will deal with the comment section, sadly I was on a youtube live once celebrating one of the members birthdays and we got raided by trolls & BTS haters. They had to end the live and start a new one for subscribers only. Most of army is a lovely community and we try to emulate the BTS members who are very compassionate people, we have grown to a large fanbase but sadly so have the people who love to hate on BTS out of jealousy or just because they are so big now etc. It's just a precaution I'd like to suggest, hopefully there won't be any issue like that, real army try to follow BTS' example of being more positive, we love and respect all seven of the members. J-Hope get's out of the military sometime in October so I'm excited for him to be home soon.
💜
I have followed Jhope since noise basement showcase 2011 and i still love watching new reactions to him it never gets old ❤
I’m a 54 year old dope old BTS ARMY (for about five years) and I have learned so much about how these albums are put together through you both which has made my experience listening to the solo albums so much richer!Thank you so much for explaining the technical aspects of the music! I love these videos you and Varnell have been doing. I smiled through whole episode! Big ARMY hug and love coming your way!!!💜
j-hope is my favorite rapper in the group. He's so distinct and special but he has such a clear identity as a rapper. I think it's a cool thing to have such a clear signature but still be able to surprise and challenge fans the way he does with every drop. Like all three of his albums are SO HIM (super conceptual, elements of surrealism, old school hip hop with a twist (either grunge, daft-punk-y, funk), and sincere lyricism), but they all sound so different. I think he's such a complete artist. The way his mind thinks up these stories and the intricacy of the way he tells them is so special. And seeing him perform them takes it to the next level. I'm not exaggerating when I call him one of the best performers of our generation. I think he gets on stage and he's Mick Jagger, or MJ, or Prince. Put him next to Beyonce and Bruno Mars and he's on a level playing field. It's cool to me to see that from a rapper. Anyway, yeah, I'm kind of obsessed with him.
Well said!
Girl calm yourself haha
You’re spitting facts ❤
Yes yes yes 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 He's also my fav rapper in BTS 🫶🏾💜
@@dentonkellyjr8095why do they need to calm down tho? They're expressing enthusiasm for a unique artist they really enjoy, nothing negative about it, only pure amusement. Maybe you are the one out of place for being a party pooper in a very positive and happy comment section
The music production section in-between the video was honestly straight fire 🔥.
Thank you Sleep
Wanna add that it makes me appreciate Yoongi's old production vid even more, now that I have a much better understanding of what he was doing. Pretty sure it still didnt have subs last time I watched it either.
@@taracooper6024 Excellent point. Currently rewatching Break The Silence series on my Telegram Channel (Basically an ARMY Vault)...and I'm appreciative so much more of the little musical tidbit, watching them work.
57:20
This laugh means that you will regret what you said when you see them together😂😂😂
I love seeing Vernell sway almost the entire of the record
(This is so long, I’m so sorry! 🫣) I don’t usually post comments on RUclips, but I just had to say this: I love what you are creating with this reaction series! 💜 Please know that we see, acknowledge, and deeply appreciate how much work you are putting into these videos. The extra education you are providing regarding music (hiphop) history and music production techniques & terminology makes my love for these songs (and our Bangtan Boys (men 😂), PDogg, et al. who create them) feel richer & more informed, and it feels like I have a better understanding about what Namjoon, Yoongi, and Hobi envisioned for each album from a production perspective. I’m also so proud of these men and the art they create, and while they don’t require outside/Western validation, and ARMY doesn’t require anyone to validate their music (because we already know they are exceptional!) it feels incredible to have experts in the field acknowledge & explain the ways in which our guys are talented artists and how they’ve created the music we love so much. I always seek out experts who react to BTS, because I want to learn & have a deeper understanding of as many aspects of our guys’ art as possible: dance/choreography, music production, lyrical analysis, stage production, costumes/fashion, video production, Korean history, culture & language, etc. And your 4 reaction videos have been more informative than the majority of “experts” I’ve watched over the past 4 years! I know it’s a lot of work, and the quality of your videos is so high that it takes a lot of time, so please don’t feel rushed as you work on more videos. We love what you’re creating, we love the friendship, camaraderie & chemistry between the two of you, we love learning more, and we love the respect you are showing our guys! Class is in session and we are SEATED! THANK YOU!! 🫰🫶💜
j-hope is a songwriter, composer and producer as well as a recording artist and he directed this entire project. It’s very authentic to himself and exposes his darker thoughts and feelings, particularly as the member who has taken on the “hopeful” persona and strives to raise people’s spirits. It’s a very vulnerable release for him, and he made an exquisite piece of art in the process.
Yes!
There are so many lyrics to react to but for the Rap line there is a video where a Korean explains the lyrics of the masterpiece that is Ddaeng. Besides the lyrics (which are superb) the song goes soooo hard.
The channel you are talking about is DKDKTV, in case they need the info.
This is a must watch after you listen to ddaeng!!
Done by dkdktv
Oh yeah!! I was thinking you guys would love ddaeng!! It's 🔥🔥🔥 would love to see a video reaction to that!! 💜
Yes!
it's the giggles at the end..😂😂😂.. "They may not be that great" "Get some rest Varnell, we have a long way to go!
Every time I come here, I feel like I am home and gonna watch my friend try BTS lmao. And thank you for calling us positive vibes. But I gotta be honest here, we won't be nice to you if you weren't nice to BTS. This is the reason we are flocking around here. Really respect the educational, emotional, reactional fun time here. Can't wait for you to take your words back on BTS as a group, Varnell. I swear, you'd cry for them.
Thanks to Sleep and Varnell for taking time out of your busy schedules to react to another one of our boys projects. 💜 I just love this whole journey and I also love the new terms and details I'm learning about production because you guys are producers. It's so interesting and informative and I really appreciate it. Also shout to Sleep for the editing of this video, it's so cool💜 Varnell, welcome to the Bora house sir!😂💜 Safety Zone is my favourite song on JITB. The piano drives me crazy 😭 his voice on this song and just the pace of it. I just love it🥹
ARMY is nice now but when Varnell gets past his denial phase and we realize we have to fight him for tickets in 2025, it's on.. I am loving the educational aspect of these!. That patreon membership is calling my name too.
All ARMY are kumbaya-ing but we all know we will drop our moots if we only had one ticket.
And our moots would get it. 😂
@@ChiP-30which is actually very stupid of us because if we work together we know that we get things done better Ticketmaster got us of warin😂
Yoooo so true.
I cannot wait til your reaction to Lollapalooza! I was so blown away by that performance - his first solo performance. He absolutely killed it.
Also, I love getting to learn the details and insights that only a producer can offer.
U should make him watch jhope’s whole lollapalooza performance!!!
3:48 absolutely valid, i as music lover always face song as it is, listening to it, and for foreign songs or non English songs i have to like them sonically, then i read lyrics.
Funny thing, somehow often the delivery of lyrics can tell me that lyrics are good without even reading them.
This happened to me with bts a lot of times. Their emotional and acting ability is second to none, i cried my eyes out when i heard First Love by Suga for example
Same for me for The Last…
51:41 he’s also very respectful and thankful for the people who let him sample the music. For example, I can’t remember which performance it was but he has before when he performed chicken noodle soup live he shouted Out the original artist, and I really liked with Lalapoolza that they had dirty ol bastard included in the visuals of what if
He did it at Lolla but I think that wasn’t the only time. And word is he paid her WELL, too. The few times she has spoken about it, she’s been hella supportive. 💜
@@yourfriendlyneighbor7165 do you mean young B? I was thinking of DJ Webster. Thanks for the info!
Edit: she goes by Ms. Bonnie now! Very talented lady.
Sleep, thank you so much for doing this!! It's so fun to learn about music production while seeing somebody getting converted lol truly this is like a dream come true lol something I had hoped for a long time, someone who knows about music and talks about BTS 💜 Thank you again, it's really fun !!!!!!
ALSO!!! don't know if you mentioned it cause I'm halfway through the video but in what if they reference shimmy shimmy ya, which is also referenced in BTS debut song No More Dream 💜
54:43 oh yay I am so excited to watch him watch the lollapalooza performance because Hobi burned it down. It was great. It was amazing. He killed it and we were very loud very appreciative and sang everything along with him.
For rm either “joke” or “do you” gonna be lit😂
What's your favorite track out of RM?
bro those are like- LIT❤🔥🔥
I AM TOTALLY INVESTED!!! Buckle Up Varnell🫰💜
Listen...
I'm just a pasty little cutesy mom/teacher in the Midwest, there is nothing swag about me. No one's going to listen to my opinion about rap or hip hop.
BUT.
This music is special - it hits me in my soul and my guts. I could tell you why it is special to me, but I couldn't articulate why it should be special to the world. However, YOU know. I love your reaction videos because you articulate that. I already have mad respect for these boys, but your explanations and reactions elevate that love and respect. So thank you for that, and for explaining why these are special sounds people should be paying attention to.
Can't wait for Sleep to introduce him to a full group song, he'll be blown away
