so true about the substance in BTS songs. It's not just meaningless lyrics. Wale has talked about how if RM was promoted as an American artist and not a Korean artist he would be one of the top rappers which just comes to show why we all should be more open to other types of music. cause if you're close minded you block yourself off to all these great music
I remember one member said that RM called them all in one room and gave them flash drives full of hip-hop/rap songs and other genre they had the learn. RM was really like y’all not about to walk around not being educated!! 😭
these kinds of songs are so underrated. Not many people know about this side of BTS. BTS started with hip hop and studied the culture since they were young, their music has so much cadence and versatility
To be fair, there's a lot of appropriation/disrespectful imitation going on in the kpop/khiphop community and you don't see rappers give so much credit to the legends of American hip hop. BTS have shown respect to the genre and those who left a big print on it from the beginning and the more they matured as ppl, the more they learned about it, instead of acting like they knew it all.
It never is appropriation in the entire S.Korean music culture. It is always appreciations of other cultures. S. Koreans are all over way better educated than Americans and never lose sight of what was there before them. It's only disrespectful imitations if YOU decide that it is. And that is very narrow minded.
@@GabrieleJackson You make S. koreans out to be like infallible people lol. So what if you think their education standard is higher? Smarts do not equal intelligence, and intelligence plays a big part in one's behaviour. It's absolutely possible for people to appreciate and respect the culture, and the black community would of course have different opinions on appropriation in different forms, meant to emulate the aesthetic and/or energy of their culture. The important questions are whether the appropriation is well motivated, whether it is carefully considered and whether it's creative. Because if it's a negative to all these questions, well, it is a disrespectful imitation and is an unnecessary, unproductive appropriation of culture.
@Gabriele Jackson sorry ma’am but making such a dogmatic statement like “it is never appropriation in the entire S. Korean music culture” is what’s narrow minded. I don’t expect people who are not a part of the black community to understand, but it’s not right to basically accuse people of lying or making this stuff up when it’s a prevalent issue. Let’s discuss how many Korean artists thought it was okay to say the n word in their songs or wear black hairstyles and use stereotypical black accents as if it’s a costume. It’s disrespectful, plain and simple.
BTS has some of the best discography. The Dark and Wild album is FLAMES. It really portrays there hip hop side. This is what they started with. Another reason why I STAN them so hard. Thanks again Higher Faculty fam!
My daughter just recently showed me the episodes of back when BTS was new and went to Los Angeles, their first time in America, and spent a couple weeks with Coolio!!!!! He literally spent time educating them on the history of American Rap and teaching them how to Rap. That's why they have so much respect with American Rappers. They are incredible people. ❤❤
He teach about history of rap, but didn't teach them how to rap. Also didn't spend 2 weeks with Coolio, but with different people/mentors during those weeks Just clarifying, not trying to sound rude :)
BTS are so fascinating... they have the sauce, the substance, the "thing" you know...their music is always so vary and meaningful, "Hip Hop lover" another banger the rap line used to tell their stories with the help of the vocal line, each raper on their own style and way, thanks for the reaction LC and Fredo :D
I love their old songs so much too as much as the recent ones...recently I've been listening to HipHop Phile, Autumn Leaves, and Hold me Tight so much lately ☺️ Their discography is immaculate.
That's one reason why I love reactors. I became ARMY in 2019 and found out about some great older songs, like this one, through ARMY requests for reactors. Borahae
J-Hope always amazes me because he learned how to rap later on through RM and SUGA, but his flow and skills are amazing. He was definitely born to be a rapper. If you guys are interested, whenever an album drops RM always goes on live and does a behind on it where he shows his guide tracks and the production process. You guys could probably find it on RUclips or VLive.
man, even in this song j-hope names several rappers and groups that influenced him as a rapper, like you can hear Kendrick Lamar influence in his style more than namgi, those rappers were his MAIN influence and in the dorms apart from namgi there were several other trainee rappers with whom he participated in rap battles. He mainly taught himself, stop assigning his rapping prowess to namgi. Jung Hoseok learned by himself, by his own hard work and worked out his own unique style.
We try not to say he learned how to rap from Suga and RM, more like Suga and RM helped him hone in on a skill that had been with him all along. Supreme boi also helped him as well (one of the reasons he went to supreme boi for his mixtape, he's good friends with him and he helped him hone in on his rapping.) I think the other replies to this comment were a bit stand offish, and were exaggerated. Hobi even gives credit to Suga and RM for helping him so it's not "Not true at all" as someone said. It's just that when talking about how Hoseok learned to rap more intently- we should choose more careful words to not give off the idea that Hobi had no clue what rapping was. He was a street dancer, of course he knew rap and hip hop. As to the claim it was a senior who helped him... it was RM, Suga, and Supreme boi. Most of the other trainees were always busy and focused on them and Hobi even said out of the 9 that were there at the time, Suga was the first he talked to. On top of that- Suga, RM and Supreme Boi were the only ones to really 'hang out' with Hobi back then. He's talked about that in the past. Just thought I'd clear that up, and I hope those other comments didn't tear you down. Your comment was good, just needed to be worded a little differently. 💜
@@ARMYnotArmy please give me a link to te interview when Hoseok said he learned from namgi, he practiced with them this is right, but I don't remember any interview when he said he learned the skills of rapping from them. When exactly did he say this? Either way this narrative is really not right, giving more credit to them than to j-hope himself. You all really can't/don't want to praise him without mention others, do you?
@@uvayakone9281 Please look up the Korean publication yourself. I'm sure you can find it, it was from 2014 if I remember correctly, if not, try 2013 but I think it was 2014. It was one of the few articles back then. Also, please reread my statement. Not learned as in he had no idea about rapping or how to rap- as I mention Hoseok mentioned he was familiar with it since he was a street dancer. 'Namgi' and supreme boi were the three who helped him hone.. nor learn.. hone, please look up the word if you're not sure of it's meaning 💜
@@ARMYnotArmy so these are only your empty words for now. No I won't waste my free time on trying to find an interview which may be no existent. People crediting namgi for j-hope's skills more than him it is a problem.
I’m here just watching this reaction forgetting I was the one that requested this! I’m glad you guys were able to catch all the references in the lyric video! -Sammy
BTS is one of very VERY few Korean artists who give props and respect to the black artists in hip hop and r&b that came before them, I’ve always appreciated that👏🏾👏🏾
Its one of the reason I think that 90s kids ARMY appreciate their music coz we all grew up listening to rap, hiphop and rnb. As a rap music fan, I will say its one of the reasons why I started loving their music.
so thats why bts rapline are really rappers..they acknowledge hip hop culture..not like these youngsters of kpop who just rap and dont know shit about hip hop
"Just to show the world that you don't have to be African-American, you could be Korean, African-American, Japanese, Jamaican whatever, whatever you are, hip-hop got a home for you. You know, it ain't just all about black folks, it's bigger than that. It's all about talent [...] it's a loving and caring culture" - Warren G, EAST MEETS MORGAN Ep. 10 feat. RM (6 years ago)
I’m sure you’ve heard countless times to listen to Born Singer a remake of Born Sinner by J Cole. The rap portion of Born Singer is also a story on what they went through as rappers to idols. Anyways, it’s a very loved song/performance to ARMY. One of my favorites
8:26 that 'wild for the night' reference has me in a chokehold. heard it when i was just checking out the dark & wild album one day and went 'okay... definitely need to check out the lyrics for this' ...proceeded to lose my mind. these guys are so talented and dedicated, and INSANELY humble. the depth and consideration they place on their art is beyond inspiring and so rare among artists today
One of the reasons BTS is so popular is because they are one of the very few Kpop groups that appreciate, acknowledge and pay homage to Black Artists/Music because Kpop was essentially created to appeal to western audiences and more specifically incorporate Black music, which is why nowadays every group has a "rapper" even though they aren't really rappers, or auditioned to be vocalists. Most Idols just try to be black and Companies (especially SM Entertainment) have black writers/producers but never celebrate them meanwhile BTS appreciate black/rap & hip hop culture which is one of the many reasons BTS triumphed over everyone else.
I couldn’t have worded it better myself. I have been a fan of kpop since 2008 of all groups so I dont have any preference or bias but BTS really felt different compared to hat was out there. What you explained is exactly how I felt.
There is something about this song that brings me to tears everytime I hear it and when suga comes in my pulse races and my heart jumps with excitement I get short of breath it is something about his lyrics in this song that hit me on a level no other song hits me on and I tear up and I get emotional and I've never had that kind of visceral feel for a song ever in my life this is what I consider a masterpiece of the rap line and it's just them telling their truth and showing you their truth about their passion and love for the rap for the lyrics for the style they're not trying to copy they trying to pay homage and respect to those who came before that help them find their path. I hoping that you will get to listen to born singer there version of j cole's born sinner and get to get even deeper into there love for music and r&b and hip hop.
I love being an ARMY mom with my 28yr old daughter 💜 it is thanks to her and BTS and of course ARMY that I have been able to stay out of depression 💜 God Bless All stay safe 💜
BTS is one of the only groups I trust to do Hip-Hop. I got into K-Pop at the age of 8, during the second gen and the first group I liked was Big Bang. While the members of BB are insanely gifted as artists, I never felt the warmth that I feel when hearing BTS.
I have been requesting this song for a month I am so freaking happy that you finally did this song oh my God as a hip hop head girl this is my ish and it makes me so proud that you guys have actually done a review on this particular freaking BTS song you have made my year my day my month and you're a reception to it was beautiful.
I really wish you guys wouldn't reserve all the introduction videos and like dance practices and like the getting to know the members videos in patreon. Because that tends to be ARMYS favorite videos to watch and not everybody can get patreon so I kinda get upset a little. Anyway other than that I love your reactions
4:33 that is so wierd that some think it's stealing. Words, dances, singing styles, food, fashion, litterally e v e r y t h i n g starts somewhere in one country and then spreads all over the world and works itself into other countries/languages/cultures, that's how it's always been and always will be. The latin/roman alphabet is whats used for writing most western languages, should every country have made their own? Should only italians be allowed to sing opera? As long as people from other countrys make it their own and don't pretend to be from the US writing lyrics like they are from there I don't see how it's different from any other singing style or any other thing we get influenced by. If you grow up listening to hip hop and US rappers it doesn't matter if you live in the US or Korea, that is what you will be inspired by.
It sucks to be a supporter in debt, but I appreciate the fact that you share a bit of what you’ve learned on Patreon through RUclips. 💜 Hip Hop Lover is one of my soft spots!
I think it is important today for young people to become more educated about the notion of cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation where the debate is still open even among experts. Born in the 1980s in the United States with the rise of postcolonial studies, the concept of cultural appropriation describes the use, by members of a dominant culture, of cultural elements produced by members of a dominated culture. According to some experts, it is a notion that is bound to evolve in the sense that some consider that a person born and raised in a dominant culture cannot claim to be from the dominated culture, regardless of his or her skin color or distant origin. According to Prof. Catinca Adriana Stan, cultural appropriation is of several types, and distinguished four categories: 1- The cultural exchange where there is a reciprocity. Everyone wins in this exchange. (In this case, we can say today that we also find Asian and Oriental influences in American sounds) 2- Cultural domination, where a stronger culture tries to impose itself over another. 3- The cultural exploitation which is economic. It is a question of taking elements and valorizing them for the benefit of the dominant culture. 4- Transculturation where we no longer know which source of influence or origin has given us a product. In the case of Kpop, we can indeed speak of transculturation when the artist does not recognize or reveal the origin of his inspiration. In this case, BTS are really an exception since long before their beginning, they never hid their influence of black American music, by exposing pictures of their influences in their studio, by giving them credit in their music from their 1st album and several times afterwards, by quoting them in their interviews as being their ultimate inspiration, and by working with artists coming from this culture (HipHop artists, Black marching band, Black Gospels, songwriters, producers. ), and most importantly being open to criticism, apologies for offenses and education. Unfortunately this is not the case for many other Kpop idols As for the cultural exploitation, Appropriation by non-white people towards white people is not possible. But can non-white people be guilty of cultural appropriation of one another? This is a question worth asking because in recent years, many voices have been raised to denounce the cultural appropriation of non-white celebrities towards non-Western cultures. This is the case of the singer Beyoncé who was criticized for the video "Hymn for The Week-End" with the group Coldplay, released in 2016, clip in which she wears a traditional Indian outfit. Recently, it was the singer Bruno Mars, of Puerto Rican and Filipino origin, who was accused of appropriating black American music with his latest album "24K Magic", which won Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards. Some people think that it is impossible for a person from a non-Western culture to appropriate another non-Western culture because of the lack of dominance. On the other hand, others believe that there are logics of oppression and privilege between non-white people that make cultural appropriation possible. This difference of opinion demonstrates that the concept of cultural appropriation is not immutable and that its definition is likely to evolve over time. In this case I prefer to refer to Pr Helga Elisabeth Bories-Sawala who said "Taking a symbol considered sacred in one culture and using it in another context can have very different meanings", It can have a negative connotation like mocking the culture, but it can also be used in a context of appreciation, and of course one must always give credit and acknowledge the influence, or even give it the benefit of the gains that can be made from this use. There are many examples of cultural exploitation in the fashion industry. Designers like to innovate and come up with cutting edge designs. This starts to be a problem when they draw their inspiration from or borrow elements from non-Western cultures. This is what happened in 2012 when the lingerie brand Victoria's Secret had one of its models wearing a Native American headdress. Many members of the Native American communities were offended, considering that the brand was disrespecting their culture and was guilty of cultural appropriation by diverting from its original meaning an essential element of their cultures. And unfortunately, this also happens in Kpop where sometimes sacred elements (objects, styles, lyrics) of Indian, African, Muslim culture have been used in totally inappropriate and disrespectful contexts, without even giving credit to the cultures or even apologizing after the criticism. I won't name the artists to avoid fanwars, but in my opinion there is indeed cultural appropriation in Kpop that manifests itself in the form of exploitation and transculturation. The line is very blurry between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation, but when inspiration and influence is not acknowledged, or culture is used in a disrespectful way, it is definitely appropriation whether you come from a dominant or dominated culture; being an influential public figure takes away any immunity in my opinion. And I admit that in this context, BTS have a very exemplary attitude that should inspire some of their compeers, all nationalities combined.
wait guys so... you're telling me all the ractions to compilation videos that show the members' personalities, talents, etc are.... in patreon? all of them? as if all thousands of us here on youtube didn't want to watch them or something? no cause if that's why you don't post them here then.. i don't know what to tell you. that's literally the fans' favorite types of reactions. can anyone with access to their patreon confirm if this is true pls? are they really posting all of that over there?
PLEASE for the love of all that's good, check live perf of LOVEMAZE. Pied piper and Dimple. RM's Love. Jhope's Airplane?(not sure if you've already seen this one), JK's My time, not sure if you saw Jimin's Serendipity too. But Love maze definitely. 😂
Thank You guys for reacting to Hip Hop Lover. BTS are So deep with their music. Love how they express their feelings in their music.Next one would be Born Singer live and lyrics. Until Next time ✌️
I don’t remember exactly the full meaning or story behind this track but i’m sure someone will fill you in. I know it’s one of many favorite songs I like of BTS
@@ionacollison3758 you're welcome! they do live performance reactions on Patreon, but they said they want to know the lyrics to My Time too. hopefully they do a lyric reaction to it on RUclips 💜
People have to realize they have a shit ton of little teenage youngins deepdive on every word BTS says. With that being said, BTS paying homage to ALLLL these rap legends, makes these kids, who knew NOTHING about these legends, do their research on them. Maybe even buy their records. And thats A LOT of people listening to this shit. Think about it. I.e. I met this 21 year old who knew NOTHING about WuTang, The Lox or even Nas’ Illmatic album. I put him onto them and now he bumps that shit semi-regularly. Now imagine what THIS song will do to all these kids out there who knows NOTHING bout 80s 90s HipHop. We should thank these guys for doin this. And im not even a BTS fan. At all.
Hearing Suga say this line “If loving this culture is a sin, I’ll die over a hundred times”. That part
And I feel like he lived by that statement. His parents really didn't want him to take this path, but he knew he couldn't let go.
I felt my soul come out and do a complete flip....
*I C O N I C*

BTS is indeed a dream team.
The lead vocalist is Jimin, the main vocalist is JK. But they are all amazing vocalists, all 4 of them.
RM part is my favorite here but the whole song is literally something else...👏🏾💜
I have been requesting this song for a month I am so freaking happy that you finally did this song oh my God as a hip hop head girl this is my ish and it makes me so proud that you guys have actually done a review on this particular freaking BTS song you have made my year my day my month and you're a reception to it was beautiful.
I really wish you guys wouldn't reserve all the introduction videos and like dance practices and like the getting to know the members videos in patreon. Because that tends to be ARMYS favorite videos to watch and not everybody can get patreon so I kinda get upset a little. Anyway other than that I love your reactions
Yesss the hidden gems of old school BTS songs! I recommend you to watch Born Singer live version guys
4:33 that is so wierd that some think it's stealing. Words, dances, singing styles, food, fashion, litterally e v e r y t h i n g starts somewhere in one country and then spreads all over the world and works itself into other countries/languages/cultures, that's how it's always been and always will be.
The latin/roman alphabet is whats used for writing most western languages, should every country have made their own? Should only italians be allowed to sing opera? As long as people from other countrys make it their own and don't pretend to be from the US writing lyrics like they are from there I don't see how it's different from any other singing style or any other thing we get influenced by. If you grow up listening to hip hop and US rappers it doesn't matter if you live in the US or Korea, that is what you will be inspired by.
Gotta love J hope Hobi rawness here. Always lovin' rap line unique flow approach n how all diff from one another but flow well together
bts jump 5th muster in japan live
my city live perfromance is a must
It sucks to be a supporter in debt, but I appreciate the fact that you share a bit of what you’ve learned on Patreon through RUclips. 💜 Hip Hop Lover is one of my soft spots!
Fredo and LC should have continued singing with that echo lol
Tbh, Im high asf and those vocal effects had me tripping really hard...
Their is certain kind of a magic in BTS music. That leads to a better days
can you react to rain by bts please? it's jazz inspired and the lyrics are a really nice story, it's a great underrated song :)
I think it is important today for young people to become more educated about the notion of cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation where the debate is still open even among experts.
Born in the 1980s in the United States with the rise of postcolonial studies, the concept of cultural appropriation describes the use, by members of a dominant culture, of cultural elements produced by members of a dominated culture.
According to some experts, it is a notion that is bound to evolve in the sense that some consider that a person born and raised in a dominant culture cannot claim to be from the dominated culture, regardless of his or her skin color or distant origin.
According to Prof. Catinca Adriana Stan, cultural appropriation is of several types, and distinguished four categories:
1- The cultural exchange where there is a reciprocity. Everyone wins in this exchange. (In this case, we can say today that we also find Asian and Oriental influences in American sounds)
2- Cultural domination, where a stronger culture tries to impose itself over another.
3- The cultural exploitation which is economic. It is a question of taking elements and valorizing them for the benefit of the dominant culture.
4- Transculturation where we no longer know which source of influence or origin has given us a product.
In the case of Kpop, we can indeed speak of transculturation when the artist does not recognize or reveal the origin of his inspiration. In this case, BTS are really an exception since long before their beginning, they never hid their influence of black American music, by exposing pictures of their influences in their studio, by giving them credit in their music from their 1st album and several times afterwards, by quoting them in their interviews as being their ultimate inspiration, and by working with artists coming from this culture (HipHop artists, Black marching band, Black Gospels, songwriters, producers. ), and most importantly being open to criticism, apologies for offenses and education. Unfortunately this is not the case for many other Kpop idols
As for the cultural exploitation, Appropriation by non-white people towards white people is not possible. But can non-white people be guilty of cultural appropriation of one another? This is a question worth asking because in recent years, many voices have been raised to denounce the cultural appropriation of non-white celebrities towards non-Western cultures. This is the case of the singer Beyoncé who was criticized for the video "Hymn for The Week-End" with the group Coldplay, released in 2016, clip in which she wears a traditional Indian outfit. Recently, it was the singer Bruno Mars, of Puerto Rican and Filipino origin, who was accused of appropriating black American music with his latest album "24K Magic", which won Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards.
Some people think that it is impossible for a person from a non-Western culture to appropriate another non-Western culture because of the lack of dominance. On the other hand, others believe that there are logics of oppression and privilege between non-white people that make cultural appropriation possible. This difference of opinion demonstrates that the concept of cultural appropriation is not immutable and that its definition is likely to evolve over time.
In this case I prefer to refer to Pr Helga Elisabeth Bories-Sawala who said "Taking a symbol considered sacred in one culture and using it in another context can have very different meanings", It can have a negative connotation like mocking the culture, but it can also be used in a context of appreciation, and of course one must always give credit and acknowledge the influence, or even give it the benefit of the gains that can be made from this use.
There are many examples of cultural exploitation in the fashion industry. Designers like to innovate and come up with cutting edge designs. This starts to be a problem when they draw their inspiration from or borrow elements from non-Western cultures.
This is what happened in 2012 when the lingerie brand Victoria's Secret had one of its models wearing a Native American headdress. Many members of the Native American communities were offended, considering that the brand was disrespecting their culture and was guilty of cultural appropriation by diverting from its original meaning an essential element of their cultures.
And unfortunately, this also happens in Kpop where sometimes sacred elements (objects, styles, lyrics) of Indian, African, Muslim culture have been used in totally inappropriate and disrespectful contexts, without even giving credit to the cultures or even apologizing after the criticism. I won't name the artists to avoid fanwars, but in my opinion there is indeed cultural appropriation in Kpop that manifests itself in the form of exploitation and transculturation.
The line is very blurry between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation, but when inspiration and influence is not acknowledged, or culture is used in a disrespectful way, it is definitely appropriation whether you come from a dominant or dominated culture; being an influential public figure takes away any immunity in my opinion. And I admit that in this context, BTS have a very exemplary attitude that should inspire some of their compeers, all nationalities combined.
You're gonna love this one💜
wait guys so... you're telling me all the ractions to compilation videos that show the members' personalities, talents, etc are.... in patreon? all of them? as if all thousands of us here on youtube didn't want to watch them or something? no cause if that's why you don't post them here then.. i don't know what to tell you. that's literally the fans' favorite types of reactions.

We on de bts joyaaaaaa
People have to realize they have a shit ton of little teenage youngins deepdive on every word BTS says. With that being said, BTS paying homage to ALLLL these rap legends, makes these kids, who knew NOTHING about these legends, do their research on them. Maybe even buy their records. And thats A LOT of people listening to this shit. Think about it. I.e. I met this 21 year old who knew NOTHING about WuTang, The Lox or even Nas’ Illmatic album. I put him onto them and now he bumps that shit semi-regularly. Now imagine what THIS song will do to all these kids out there who knows NOTHING bout 80s 90s HipHop. We should thank these guys for doin this. And im not even a BTS fan. At all.
G DRAGON THE KING
Please next react to..
BTS “MAKE IT RIGHT”
