This is what RM said about the song: said, “‘Joke’ is a song that I wrote the lyrics using stream of consciousness. That’s why the title is ‘Joke.’ There’s nothing hidden in the lyrics, and the song is 500% for the auditory pleasure. I felt a necessity of a song that refreshes the mood without any particular meaning since I’ve included messages and sentiments in other songs. I included what I think are the ‘skills’ of rapping.”
He didn't say that though? where did you got that info? don't mess up his words. He said not to take the song too seriously, something like "don't take it to heart, it's just a joke." He never said "the lyrics are meaningless nonsense don't look at them." In fact anyone with decent reading comprehension can understand the meaning of the lyrics quite clearly, and when you break down the more complex bars they're perfectly comprehensible. so?
*9 flows, no chorus, straight bars!* *Joke is a Masterpiece! BTW he has an IQ of 148 and you'll see why his lyrics always have double meanings. HE'S THAT IMPRESSIVE 🔥🔥🔥* To explain why RM made this song : So you probably know that RM and Suga received a lot of flak from the underground K-hip hop community when they signed with an Idol company. In addition to that people would try and shade his rap skills, saying he had no skills and no flow. So he made this song as 'joke' to show off his flow and speed and also shade back on the criticism by pointing out that you can rap as fast as you want but if you're just saying nonsense then what's the point? Hence there's no hook, just bars after bars and some nonsense words like 'bibbidy bobbidy.. *Joke is an intelligent sattire for people who think rapping fast without any meaningful lyrics and flow is cool or good.* The bibbiby babbiby verse you heard him say is the joke of him dissing the mumble jumble rappers. Joke is not just "fast rap" with no meaning. RM is the KING of wordplays. He focuses a lot on lyricism, double/triple entendre and flow. He gets his inspiration from 90's hip hop if you wanna check out his first mixtape. but simply the other rappers are making fun of him because he can't rap fast and only focus on lyricism which is why he made this song for them. he said "hit me" at the end to allow others to diss him again. but nobody did anything yet. King's shit. fun fact: RM was at one point one of the top students in all South Korea, boy is a GENIUS... *In short, RM GENIUS SONGWRITER OF THE CENTURY.* His rap is not only skillful but extremely intelligent. Makes me wish I knew Korean to fully understand all the wordplay and references.
We loved it! It was just a master flow of talent. Enigmatic lyricism and timing. Amazing stuff! Yeah sh*t is weak when people try to tear someone else down just for having a want to create something different then they do. It gets worse like in RM and Suga's case cause they also were so successful. Success makes people jealous, mean and lash out.
@@MixItUpPodcast yes absolutely! Success speaks louder in BTS's case..my boys are busy climbing charts while h8ters are running their mouth & fingers on their keyboards 🚶♀️like who's winning here tho?! Ofc BTS!😌✨
Unnie is not a bad word, it really just means older sister. The way he is using it is, closer to calling a guy a "sissy" or a woman. He's questioning the guys masculinity. In an interview a long time ago a rapper call them girls for wearing makeup and being an idol instead of an underground rapper. I have always thought it was a dig at that guy. 💜 Lyrical Rap, how about that? 😘
Note (from doolsetbangtan):One particular line “이건 의미없는 말놀이 (This is a meaningless wordplay)” sums up the song pretty well. Apart from it being a message to haters (who believe they are the real rappers and ‘idol rappers’ are fake, in particular), the song is comprised of wordplays with a heavy presence of end rhymes and lines that are not necessarily connected through each other in terms of their meaning. The track really showcases his wordplay ability and the technical aspects of his rapping skills. In his 2015 interview with HIPHOPPLAYA, he said, “‘Joke’ is a song that I wrote the lyrics using stream of consciousness. That’s why the title is ‘Joke.’ There’s nothing hidden in the lyrics, and the song is 500% for the auditory pleasure. I felt a necessity of a song that refreshes the mood without any particular meaning since I’ve included messages and sentiments in other songs. I included what I think are the ‘skills’ of rapping.” Original Track: Oh My Darling by Run The Jewels (RM and Suga’s first mixtape used a lot of sample just a heads up) My interpretation: Pretty much he got a lot of hate saying he can’t rap and has bad lyrics and terrible flow, when he joined to be part of a K-pop group. He made this song basically full of wordplays and flow. Basically saying this is meaningless but I am better than you. “Hit me” basically saying try me.
again..where did all of you get that the lyrics are completely meaningless?? He didn't say that. He said not to take the song too seriously, like "don't take it to heart, it's just a joke." He never said "the lyrics are meaningless nonsense don't look at them." anyone with decent reading comprehension can understand the meaning of the lyrics quite clearly, and when you break down the more complex bars they're perfectly comprehensible.

It was a flex! Showin his rap skills to the hatas….How many cadence changes in this one song? So impressive! TY for reacting. There is A LOT!!!! It’d prolly be good to find an ARMY that can help ya navigate which song to do next…. Just cause some of the songs build on another & makes more sense in succession. Adds context. Not necessary but helpful & less headaches. 😜
As it relates to the art direction BTS goes in... Often times in Kpop the company decides what you do, however some groups do have some creative freedom for example our very own BTS.. So this means All members have a say in what they would would like to happen and these decsions are made together with their company, to decide what is best.
Excited for the reaction! But I will say that the song really does have meaning. It’s so intricate with a lot of slang and double and triple entendre’s that it’s more like “you thinking you’re better than me is a joke” kind of song. It’s insane. Highly recommend the doolset lyrics from their page. I used to think it didn’t mean anything either, but it just takes understanding the extra things I think. Ok! Now back to watching! Edit: yep! You said it! You can tell he’s saying something. Lol. Thanks for the reaction! I always love when people react to Joke!
@@minitwink16 Ooh I am slipping. How could I have forgotten Supreme Boy! Him and Slow Rabbit should have been at the top of my list. Thank you and sorry for the oversight.💜
This is a masterpiece from our leader, imo... Never liked rap until BTS. Now I appreciate the intricacy of the genre, at least when our boys do their thang. Our 3 Bangtan rapper boys are simply gifted with talent. So different in style but they complement each other so well. Check out the live performance of Outro: Tear. "Unnie" means "Older Sister" but only when a younger female (vs younger male who will use the equivalent "Noona") uses it. Love your reaction! 💜
Same. I always liked Rap but never the popular rappers because Drake, Eminem et cetera have some great hits but most of their songs sound all the same or just basic and the lyrics too. Eminem has good wordplay but in general all the rap songs I've heard are so mediocre, especially sound-wise. Nas was the only exception until i met BTS.
RM is the main songwriter, as well as Suga. He does also do production but the main producer among them is Suga. They have all contributed to writing and production.
I fell into this amazing rabbit hole almost two years ago. Since the beginning , I've heard them every single day, and I'm still finding songs I haven't heard yet! Their discography is huge and composed of a lot of masterpieces in different genres. I can assure you, there are no bad songs! Every album is a jewel that deserves to be appreciated and enjoyed as a whole. (They are conceptual). Everyone of them has his own style, and his solo production is as good as BTS'
RM showed his Aggressive side in his earlier songs because that was the time when they were getting a lot of criticism and big companies and rappers looked down on them. He answered his haters in those songs. You should Check Out RM'S "Do you" he Answered his those who looked down on him and said he's not a rapper any more in that song
Billy (a guy who teaches Korean irl and on RUclips) is doing videos analyzing the members and how they speak-since they’re from different areas of Korea-and the one on RM was so good. The way he speaks normally is different than most people cause he talks like a poet and uses uncommon words but also injects current slang and made up words as well. He’s just an enigma 😂
Let me explain: 1) *The lyrics of Joke are NOT nonesense.* There's only a couple of lines that are him imitating people who say nonesense, the rest of the lyrics DO MAKE SENSE. 2) This song has a lot of references and it is focused on WORD PLAY though. It's not one of his super philosophical tracks. 3) The message isn't complicated: RM is responding to rappers who believe rap is only about having a fast flow, acting cool and agressive, and who don't care about writing decent lyrics and write bullshit or just empty or unauthentic stuff... And then turn to criticize those who are doing things in a different way, using superficial criteria, with a delusional sense of superiority. RM's main point is that "RAP IS ABOUT LYRICISM, WHAT YOU SAY AND HOW YOU SAY IT MATTERS". Speed is not the point, agression is not the point, those are just tools. 4) RM is simultaneously demonstrating how he CAN rap fast and with a "cool badass style" (if he wants), and declaring that lyricism and meaning is the heart of rap. Rhythm & Poetry = RAP. He's mocking rappers that are all about pretending, telling false stories about being poor or dangerous (when that's not their personal true experience), writing just about sex and drugs (with no variety in topics, repeating the same all the time). He's also changing his flow a lot on this song, I suppose to demonstrate his technical expertise. He's expressing his anger and his self-confidence. *The six bullets/snakes are BTS members, his team that has his back. It's probably also a Tupac reference. ** In very simple terms: "Sunbae" is your senior and "hoobae" is your junior. He's saying "I'm a better rapper than most of the rappers who are older or younger than me" (the ones who make fun of him for writing deep lyrics). ***The context is that he's responding to people who speak to him in an offensive way, who disrespect him. RM mixtape has a lot of hurt, anger, and despair. It's also a little bit of a satire, with the imitating. There's also a few tracks there that are really sad. And a couple that are hopeful. **Idk if people told you, but, all the beats in this mixtape are samples of songs RM was a fan of, he wrote over them... That's why it wasn't in all music platforms, bc of the samples. It was recorded back in 2014 and released on SoundCloud, in early 2015. *The unnie line can be interpreted in a few ways... What I understood is: unnie is how women call other women who are older than them... So, he's saying "girls call you unnie" as "you are so pathetic that women don't see you like a prospect, you are not man enough for them to see you as attractive or someone they want to pursue" (bc you're hateful, not smart and/or unskilled)... He's not saying "you're a woman" but rather "women know you ain't it".
The fan who requested it told us in our DM's. he said RM said in an interview that the song is nonsense with no deeper meaning to discover. When i was reading the lyrics as we watched i did not see that. It was weird that person told us that.
@@MixItUpPodcast That person simply misunderstood his statement or saw it out of context, he did said that JOKE doesn't have a "deeper meaning", but Namjoon's standard for "a song with a deep meaning" is his usual writing style, which is known for being very poetic, philosophical and having multiple layers. He meant that the message of this song is more direct and simple. Plus, it's true that this song has a lot of sarcasm and jabs, it's a bragging dis-track, after all, but the lines are not nonesense, they make sense, he's just using a lot of slang. Also, he did wrote this with "stream of consciousness" which is a very spontaneous writing style (of course any good writer does have to edit that and summarize afterwards, etc)... And this is a style of writing he wasn't as good at before, he has improved on it. Mono has a lot of passages written as if the person is thinking in real time, and it conveys anxiety, overthinking, depression and intrusive thoughts very realistically.
16:49 All three rapper are producers too. Suga does the most producer stuff, he also produced songs for other artists. RM and JHope mostly stick to producing their own solo and BTS's music. BTS's Rapline is heavily involved in the production of music, their whole discography.
It's interesting because the song does have meaning, but because of the way RM typically writes he doesn't see it as having meaning. Any other rapper would brag about how much meaning this song has because of the reasoning behind it and all of the wordplay. It's clearly a diss record and many lines individually have something ruthless to say. However RM is a poet at heart and his writing typically has more of a grand narrative or concept with meaning done in a different way. It makes sense why the one we call "the philosopher" would look at this and find it meaningless. Comparatively it could be seen that way. If it were truly meaningless it would be strings of words that don't say anything when put together. Instead each line says something plainly, it just may not always connect to the adjoining lines in that way. The message is very clearly "Fuck you, I'm a beast on the mic. You ain't shit compared to me and let me tell you why." Braggy RM is just as fun and deep or poppy RM.
Bts rap line are incredible rappers, writers and producers 🥰 I would say normally RM is the philosopher rapper, Suga the fastest rapper and J-Hope the most versatile one maybe🤔 anyways they're AMAZING
BTS has many B-side tracks that are funky too! Like boys with fun and ma city, which are fan favorites. Maybe you can add those to your long list hahha
Their have solo mixtape very good likerm with joke do you, Suga with daechwita, Agus d, j hope : chicken noodle soup, jin: ephypani, Jimin: serendipity, v: stigma, Jungkook: euphoria and many more, so you can check more their song, thanks for react, 👍
Lyrical rap? Melodic rap? I have heard both for Drake and others. Not sure how accurate that is though. Thanks for the reaction. Next check "Do You" by RM. You will dig it too.
I really couldn't remember what name if ever it was given as a sub genre. It's weird. I guess most people prolly call it hip hop...unless they are making the direct point then probably like you said melodic rap! Thanks for watching and we already have that on our watchlist. Thanks
Guys I love your voices. Defineteley made for radio. This song is fantastic, just showing his skills, no much meaning but some great lines: You are dandruff I am elastin, jajajaj.
U guys are open and music smart!! “If you can’t tell he a guy has skills the first time listening then u should not be listening to music🤣🤣🤣 kinda kinda harsh, but true!
Please checkout RM's New Album INDIGO, it's a masterpiece ✨ Wildflower is the title song of the Album,it also has a music video. (Still life to which you reacted is also from indigo album)
Suga is the only member of BTS who produced his own beats. Other members are more involve with songwriting and composing. Correct me if I'm wrong my fellow armys.😊
Suga loves producing the most out of all of them, but they have all been involved in some production, especially the rap line who each produced their own solo mixtapes/albums. I think Suga is the only one who has produced for other artists.
@@cstrouts yes, they were all involved in production. They themselves produced their own songs. What i mean is making the beat of the song. Suga is the only member capable making his own beats. Its been said numerous times by the members themselves. Thats why his studio has a lot of equipments. If I'm not mistaken, when someone said "produce" a song, it means that person is the one who handles what kind of direction the song goes to. They don't necessarily work with the equipment. Usually they have sound engineers and mixed engineers. These people are the one who you work with and tell them what kind of sound you want to make. For example, the song Ddaeng. There was a short clip of the rapline working on the song. There was a moment where Jhope said to remove some effect on the beat, then said, "okay, now it sounds clean." Jhope wasn't the one who use the equipment to do this, thats the mixed engineer's job. But Jhope still help produce this song. However, the oriental instrumental beats that made Ddaeng, its been mentioned a few times that Suga was the one who made it. Sorry this is long. I just want to explain what I meant when I said Suga is the only one able to make his own beat. But all bts members have produced their own songs.
A lot of people call it Melodic Rap, but someone probably answered that somewhere else in your comments =P. Loved the reaction. Look forward to more from your channel.
So the lyrics have no meaning, many underground rappers and haters said that RM has no flow, so he wrote a song with awesome flow but without any meaning .
He had intention. Stream of consciousness still ends up having a core. He caught a lot of ish from SK underground rap scene, but also the West. Ya’ll know he was mocked because Koreans can’t be real rappers….right? So, he also speaking to them. Plus, he is also criticizing their skills or lack there of. Bippity boppity bobbity bibity. So, you hear his skills, but others looking at his face, race, ethnicity. Making assumptions about skills instead of listening.
i know other bands are important too, but i hope to see some Avenged Sevenfold reactions in near future, "The Stage" album didn't get as much attention so maybe u can change that
We've got another tear to release of BTS and then we are gonna be doing some country. After that it will be some more A7X for sure. Thanks for being patient snitchex.
@@MixItUpPodcast I got a blast from the past hearing your voice, it took me back to middle school watching the storytime videos he would voice for on Planet Dolan.
Joke is about skills more than lyrics 💜 Can you react to jungkook "my time " or "still with you " it's 2 of his solos he wrote and he produced still with you too
Since you wanted to analyze the rappers, I really hope you check out J-Hope's "Daydream" or "1verse". If you really want to see how he is as a rapper on his own right. Many people always try to recommend "Chicken Noodle Soup" but that song is not a strong rap song.
Hi :) I guess it was you and I who "talked" (14.33). I was just throwing in suggestions. You do you - your choice, the tempo. (and of course you don't have to do the same song again). I just didn't realize how it takes to get a video out. My bad.
No its ok. No worries. We just dont have an obs setup yet or better cameras. Workin three jobs and its time consuming on edits. It's okay though. A little pain before and work evolution it can only get better my friend! Thank you for watching!
It would be great if you guys watch some dance practices in the future....... helps you to be ready for the MV's. OH, also explanation vids. Like, Italian army......and others. Because this is Asia and you never know where an easter egg is. And people from their culture would generally know this.. So we don't want to be in the dark......... DKDK is good also.

3) The message isn't complicated: RM is responding to rappers who believe rap is only about having a fast flow, acting cool and agressive, and who don't care about writing decent lyrics and write bullshit or just empty or unauthentic stuff... And then turn to criticize those who are doing things in a different way, using superficial criteria, with a delusional sense of superiority. RM's main point is that "RAP IS ABOUT LYRICISM, WHAT YOU SAY AND HOW YOU SAY IT MATTERS". Speed is not the point, agression is not the point, those are just tools.
4) RM is simultaneously demonstrating how he CAN rap fast and with a "cool badass style" (if he wants), and declaring that lyricism and meaning is the heart of rap. Rhythm & Poetry = RAP. He's mocking rappers that are all about pretending, telling false stories about being poor or dangerous (when that's not their personal true experience), writing just about sex and drugs (with no variety in topics, repeating the same all the time). He's also changing his flow a lot on this song, I suppose to demonstrate his technical expertise. He's expressing his anger and his self-confidence.
*The six bullets/snakes are BTS members, his team that has his back. It's probably also a Tupac reference.
** In very simple terms: "Sunbae" is your senior and "hoobae" is your junior. He's saying "I'm a better rapper than most of the rappers who are older or younger than me" (the ones who make fun of him for writing deep lyrics).
***The context is that he's responding to people who speak to him in an offensive way, who disrespect him. RM mixtape has a lot of hurt, anger, and despair. It's also a little bit of a satire, with the imitating. There's also a few tracks there that are really sad. And a couple that are hopeful.
**Idk if people told you, but, all the beats in this mixtape are samples of songs RM was a fan of, he wrote over them... That's why it wasn't in all music platforms, bc of the samples. It was recorded back in 2014 and released on SoundCloud, in early 2015.
*The unnie line can be interpreted in a few ways... What I understood is: unnie is how women call other women who are older than them... So, he's saying "girls call you unnie" as "you are so pathetic that women don't see you like a prospect, you are not man enough for them to see you as attractive or someone they want to pursue" (bc you're hateful, not smart and/or unskilled)... He's not saying "you're a woman" but rather "women know you ain't it".
Thank you for the info friend. Thank you for also watching. I love this song. Flow is amazing!
finally someone who can explain it.. idk where everyone got that completely meaningless lyrics info from??
The fan who requested it told us in our DM's. he said RM said in an interview that the song is nonsense with no deeper meaning to discover. When i was reading the lyrics as we watched i did not see that. It was weird that person told us that.
@@MixItUpPodcast That person simply misunderstood his statement or saw it out of context, he did said that JOKE doesn't have a "deeper meaning", but Namjoon's standard for "a song with a deep meaning" is his usual writing style, which is known for being very poetic, philosophical and having multiple layers. He meant that the message of this song is more direct and simple. Plus, it's true that this song has a lot of sarcasm and jabs, it's a bragging dis-track, after all, but the lines are not nonesense, they make sense, he's just using a lot of slang. Also, he did wrote this with "stream of consciousness" which is a very spontaneous writing style (of course any good writer does have to edit that and summarize afterwards, etc)... And this is a style of writing he wasn't as good at before, he has improved on it. Mono has a lot of passages written as if the person is thinking in real time, and it conveys anxiety, overthinking, depression and intrusive thoughts very realistically.
16:49 All three rapper are producers too. Suga does the most producer stuff, he also produced songs for other artists. RM and JHope mostly stick to producing their own solo and BTS's music. BTS's Rapline is heavily involved in the production of music, their whole discography.
Great reaction. Thank you for taking your time to do this and have discussion about the song :)
Of course it is our pleasure. It is a great song!
This was freakin amazing !! Thanks for the reaction guys. 💜💜💜
He is a poet.
It's interesting because the song does have meaning, but because of the way RM typically writes he doesn't see it as having meaning. Any other rapper would brag about how much meaning this song has because of the reasoning behind it and all of the wordplay. It's clearly a diss record and many lines individually have something ruthless to say. However RM is a poet at heart and his writing typically has more of a grand narrative or concept with meaning done in a different way. It makes sense why the one we call "the philosopher" would look at this and find it meaningless. Comparatively it could be seen that way. If it were truly meaningless it would be strings of words that don't say anything when put together. Instead each line says something plainly, it just may not always connect to the adjoining lines in that way. The message is very clearly "Fuck you, I'm a beast on the mic. You ain't shit compared to me and let me tell you why." Braggy RM is just as fun and deep or poppy RM.
Bts rap line are incredible rappers, writers and producers 🥰 I would say normally RM is the philosopher rapper, Suga the fastest rapper and J-Hope the most versatile one maybe🤔 anyways they're AMAZING
BTS has many B-side tracks that are funky too! Like boys with fun and ma city, which are fan favorites. Maybe you can add those to your long list hahha
Their have solo mixtape very good likerm with joke do you, Suga with daechwita, Agus d, j hope : chicken noodle soup, jin: ephypani, Jimin: serendipity, v: stigma, Jungkook: euphoria and many more, so you can check more their song, thanks for react, 👍
Ok but you really need to react to RM JOKE explained by K WATERBOTTLE
Is it that different?
Ok but I just went and watched that and it was fantastic, thanks for suggesting it
I would really loved for you to replay the video while you rewatched it I could hear this masterpiece forever
Lyrical rap? Melodic rap? I have heard both for Drake and others. Not sure how accurate that is though. Thanks for the reaction. Next check "Do You" by RM. You will dig it too.
I really couldn't remember what name if ever it was given as a sub genre. It's weird. I guess most people prolly call it hip hop...unless they are making the direct point then probably like you said melodic rap! Thanks for watching and we already have that on our watchlist. Thanks
Guys I love your voices. Defineteley made for radio. This song is fantastic, just showing his skills, no much meaning but some great lines: You are dandruff I am elastin, jajajaj.
Passei a gostar de rap ouvindo bts.
This track is from Run The Jewels "Oh My Darling Don't Cry".
I forget the guy who actually did the beat, rm just put a rap over it. His first mixtape has a lot of samples and stuff
Thanks for the BTS's love
Always! It is good stuff to watch! Thank you for watching us watch them!
Juice WRLD did a song with Suga. RM did one with Wale (Change). JK did one with Snoop. And J Hope just did one with J Cole .
Joke is like the ultimate FU to haters (Well, apart from the Cyphers 1-4 maybe 😅) and I freakin love it. 🤘😎🤘
I always enjoy the videos with you Donatello Jr. 😎
Bwahahahhaa Noice!
For those who wonder when they go back to talking about the song: 16:05
Personally I like "Do You" a little bit more. You might want to react to that as well
thank you, guys.. what you said actually made someone happy
U guys are open and music smart!! “If you can’t tell he a guy has skills the first time listening then u should not be listening to music🤣🤣🤣 kinda kinda harsh, but true!
Please checkout RM's New Album INDIGO, it's a masterpiece ✨ Wildflower is the title song of the Album,it also has a music video.
(Still life to which you reacted is also from indigo album)
It’s okay to pause the video
Yess
Checkout RM's "Monster"
Suga is the only member of BTS who produced his own beats. Other members are more involve with songwriting and composing. Correct me if I'm wrong my fellow armys.😊
💯
Suga loves producing the most out of all of them, but they have all been involved in some production, especially the rap line who each produced their own solo mixtapes/albums. I think Suga is the only one who has produced for other artists.
@@cstrouts yes, they were all involved in production. They themselves produced their own songs. What i mean is making the beat of the song. Suga is the only member capable making his own beats. Its been said numerous times by the members themselves. Thats why his studio has a lot of equipments.
If I'm not mistaken, when someone said "produce" a song, it means that person is the one who handles what kind of direction the song goes to. They don't necessarily work with the equipment. Usually they have sound engineers and mixed engineers. These people are the one who you work with and tell them what kind of sound you want to make.
For example, the song Ddaeng. There was a short clip of the rapline working on the song. There was a moment where Jhope said to remove some effect on the beat, then said, "okay, now it sounds clean." Jhope wasn't the one who use the equipment to do this, thats the mixed engineer's job. But Jhope still help produce this song. However, the oriental instrumental beats that made Ddaeng, its been mentioned a few times that Suga was the one who made it.
Sorry this is long. I just want to explain what I meant when I said Suga is the only one able to make his own beat. But all bts members have produced their own songs.
Thanks! I love BTS 🇧🇷💜🥰
A lot of people call it Melodic Rap, but someone probably answered that somewhere else in your comments =P. Loved the reaction. Look forward to more from your channel.
Finally.😎😎😎😎😎
Ar you guys gonna watch "Yet to Come" concert in theaters... it's only until 2/4, so the last 2 nights.
Adoro seus reacts ❣️
They do the beats
iim back once again to recommend any lord gasp song :’)
RM song Do You is great z plz check it, too
So the lyrics have no meaning, many underground rappers and haters said that RM has no flow, so he wrote a song with awesome flow but without any meaning .
He had intention. Stream of consciousness still ends up having a core. He caught a lot of ish from SK underground rap scene, but also the West. Ya’ll know he was mocked because Koreans can’t be real rappers….right? So, he also speaking to them. Plus, he is also criticizing their skills or lack there of.
Bippity boppity bobbity bibity. So, you hear his skills, but others looking at his face, race, ethnicity.
Making assumptions about skills instead of listening.
와우... 왼쪽분 목소리 보소...ㄷㄷ
i know other bands are important too, but i hope to see some Avenged Sevenfold reactions in near future, "The Stage" album didn't get as much attention so maybe u can change that
We've got another tear to release of BTS and then we are gonna be doing some country. After that it will be some more A7X for sure. Thanks for being patient snitchex.
To the man on the left side of the screen, you sound eerily like a RUclipsr called Hellbent. I don't know why but you really do to me.
I shall check out hellbent. Maybe he is my long lost twin. That would be dope....and weird. lol
Just checked him out. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
That creeped me out how close that voice is to mine.
@@MixItUpPodcast I got a blast from the past hearing your voice, it took me back to middle school watching the storytime videos he would voice for on Planet Dolan.
👏👏💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😘
Suga is the main producer of the group

Most of the official videos have the captions in English if someone has not told you I just found you.
Joke is about skills more than lyrics 💜
Can you react to jungkook "my time " or "still with you " it's 2 of his solos he wrote and he produced still with you too
Since you wanted to analyze the rappers, I really hope you check out J-Hope's "Daydream" or "1verse". If you really want to see how he is as a rapper on his own right. Many people always try to recommend "Chicken Noodle Soup" but that song is not a strong rap song.
Hi :) I guess it was you and I who "talked" (14.33). I was just throwing in suggestions. You do you - your choice, the tempo. (and of course you don't have to do the same song again). I just didn't realize how it takes to get a video out. My bad.
No its ok. No worries. We just dont have an obs setup yet or better cameras. Workin three jobs and its time consuming on edits. It's okay though. A little pain before and work evolution it can only get better my friend! Thank you for watching!
24:21 lol you said cypher
** oh I’m really sick btw so I prolly wont comment as much now
It would be great if you guys watch some dance practices in the future....... helps you to be ready for the MV's. OH, also explanation vids. Like, Italian army......and others. Because this is Asia and you never know where an easter egg is. And people from their culture would generally know this.. So we don't want to be in the dark......... DKDK is good also.
Please react to BTS hiphop lover 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
React to Airplane by J-Hope of bts too please (he's one of the rappers)♡
Isn't it lyrical rap or melodic rap?
🇧🇷
new sub recent one... love your reactions.. keep it up
Thanks for subbing! You promise to keep it up my friend!
