please include their CYPHER pt1 to 4.. thats my favorite and im not even into rap song before but after knowing the meaning behind it i made Cypher 2 as my alarm tone💜💜
Also fun fact: Mic Drop was inspired by Barack Obama's White House Correspondent's Dinner speech where he dropped the mic at the end. RM, the leader of the group (who came out from the back of the ambulance) started this song because of that. :)
Fun fact : BTS were meant to be a Hip-Hop group. A lot of their older songs are Hip-Hop influenced, they’ve shown a lot of respect to the culture, and the rap line (RM, SUGA,J-HOPE) have an amazing penmanship !! I’d recommend “Hip-Hop Phile” to get a good insight of their story with Hip-Hop 🤩 7:57 THATS RM ! the leader of the group Thank you !!! PS : RM , SUGA aka Agust D , and J-HOPE also released their own solo stuff through mixtapes 🤗 So feel free to check that out
What I said to another reactor who was commenting on having to read subtitles: Right now, you are not used to reading the subtitles and it can be difficult if your not use to it, but I guarantee you make the effort it does come with time and you don't even notice anymore. I can now read and watch the MV or Video without even noticing a difference. Sometimes, I don't even notice I have subtitles on English Movies or Vids. I do put English subtitles on all the time at night when I am in bed watching a show just so I don't have to have the volume up and wakeup my household. In any case, I hope you keep an open mind and check out more BTS. Can't wait till you check out the group and solo projects (mixtapes) of the rapline. Thanks for the reaction.
Plus, it gives you a chance to watch it again. First time for the lyrics, second time for the video. For some of us, we watch their MV's many, many times, lol.
The other way works too, focus on the songs first if you love it and want to know more run it with sub the 2nd time. Do whatever you are comfortable with is fine 🙂
When you think when this MV was done and how many more trophies they have won since, it is truly amazing. I found BTS at this time last year. Mic Drop was the second thing I looked at and I was hooked. First was the BTS at the MMA's 2019 and that blew my mind. I am F 65yo from Australia and was never interested in rap but these young men are sooooo different. Another one to look at is their cover on Coldplays Fix You. Beautiful! Oh and welcome to the rabbit hole 😊😊👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
I'm 73 year old and fell in love with rap through them several years ago. Agust D did me in but RM meets if not exceeds with his exquisite lyrics. JHope is the glue.
I’m quarantine ARMY also & Mic Drop was the one that locked me in too! 50yo in Alaska. It’s been a great year with BTS and learning all about them and their music, their good & humble hearts, and watching their chaotic energy💜 Enjoy the rabbit hole you’ve entered, I know I do😉 You should watch dance practice vids, fan compilations of chaotic energy, there’s sooo much fun to be had😎
Guys you HAVE to react to Suga's solo stuff! He's the one with the ratatouille line :D His solo name is Agust D. I recommend 'Agust D' and 'Daechwita'. He'll be spitting some bars
If one wants to kill haters with just words learn from AgustD Joke aside... his solos are just the best Of RM and Jhope are fall into the same category too but RM is more wordplay rapper while jhope is more the peaceful one... Agust D is just raw... no need to break a head to know that he's spitting you... well atleast for haters
@@ZiahTV A lot of their videos have cultural references. And some like Daechwita and Ddaeng need some explanation, one of the best channels for this is DKDK tv. You'll be amazed with their lyricism and how they intertwine Korean and English and make both ryme and flow naturally, like you noticed in Mic drop. The Cypher series is also great, plus the live medley. Another level, I promise. We'll be more than happy to help you in this exciting journey. Welcome to the rabbit hole 😉
@@alekkaparedes3259 Excellent advice that I hope they take. I'd hate to see them get hung up on the translated culture words of Ddaeng, or lost in the cultural dichotomy of Daechwita. It would be good if they do the MV & explanation vid in the same reaction video.
When you notice that this video was released 4 yrs ago. They've already reached at this level back then. Let's go to "On(Kinetic manifesto film)" and "Black swan"! You will see their versatility again : ) Thank you for your open mind and appreciation!!!
Honestly, Mic Drop was ahead of its time. Can you imagine if they released it now!? It helped them get to where they are today, but I am SO READY for Bts to do a full hip hop/rap song and see how it blows up in the US.
What I love about this reaction, is that you didn't only focused on the visuals or the music video or scenes but, to the lyrics. Not all reactors would actually mind the lyrics. It's so nice that, you two cares about lyrics. Because I believe that more than anything else, a quality music should be defined through its good lyrics or powerful lyrics.
When you talked how they rhymed English with Korean right before first chorus, the word was Ratatouille..... so technically it's French 😀 They also have some songs where the throw in Spanish words like in Airplane pt. 2, Home, Chicken Noodle Soup (technically the whole Becky G's verse, so it's Spanish, Korean and English in that song).
Here is the sad reality. BTS had put out mad raw awesome hip hop and hard core rap and Korean language content. But not until their last 3 songs performed in English have they received any major acknowledgement from the U.S., from the Grammy's, from the popular music world. They should have been recognized for the brilliance of "Mix Drop". I don't even like rap, but I recognize their lyrical genius. They have been musical geniuses all along. Finally, they are being recognized!!!! It's been fun watching you recognize their genius in every genre they perform!!! I am new to you. So I am going back through your library of BTS'S reactions. You guys are good!!!
They got so much hate in their first three years (and honestly, still). Look it up, there are many videos that address their struggles. This song is such a bomb! It was a burn for their haters to have the song dissing them AND having another mega hit while doing it Edit: added: (and honestly, still)
A lot of non Korean speaking Army will watch the video first, taking in just the visuals. Then rewatch reading the lyrics! It really helps me to appreciate the music and performance 💜
Watch the video, then turn on the words and start again, going thru twice is fine. This is all about their haters. They faced huge controversy in Korea. It’s in several Intro videos on BTS. Suga and RM were from the underground rap scene. JHope was a street dancer for 10 years. They were called out for leaving and joining BTS. RM was told he was like a girl since makeup was used for performances. Try ‘An Introduction to BTS’, I think that covers some of it. They were continually accused of plagiarism. It’s a long, bitter story.
My favourite reactions to see are those to Mic Drop and Daechwita. I love SUGA's opening rap here. HIs parents were against his choice of career but he has shown them that his dream could become a reality. His mum can see her son is a success.
The song is their response to the haters they had. They started in 2013 and were knocked and made fun of from the beginning because they were from a small company. Also, their videos were purposely not played and their TV appearances were many times cut short. This was due to jealousy and competitiveness by the main 3 entertainment companies. They experienced a ton of negativity, ridicule and death threats. They were told they were not talented and would never make it. They were even made fun of for writing and producing their own songs (something looked down on in Korea for K-POP bands.) Start viewing the series, "Rise of Bangtan" to get to know them and what they went through.
I think you guys would enjoy Daechwita which is a solo work by Suga [Agust D] with a couple of cameos by other BTS members. It combines rap with Korean culture and is totally insane.
Why do you guys hate j-hope why is everyone in the comments pretending jhope doesn't exist or is not a part of the rapline and wasn't literally one of the main composers of mic drop
@@avanipandey3694 I’m sorry but I think you’re imagining things right now. JHope is an integral part of the team and everyone but a few toxic solo stans know that. Please don’t try to start arguments for no reason in the future.
A little bit on the translations for Suga's verse: the line of their concerts have no empty seats, he actually says there are no grapes at our concerts. This is a reference to how on Korean ticket sale sites, available seats are purple while non-available seats are grayed out. So, when most of the seats are sold, the available seats look like a bunch of scattered grapes on the screen. Just wanted to point how Suga kept to the food related theme with his verses to follow-up J-Hope's verses. It still means that they have no empty seats at their concerts. But of course, this reference would be hard to convey through a verse in English, so the translation just gave the direct meaning instead (we miss a lot of great wordplay like this, unfortunately bc some require you to already have the background knowledge on it to catch the references).
I’m so glad you guys are breaking down the lyrics bc I truly believe that BTS’s lyricism is what sets them apart from other artist. These guys were just built different - literally. From their inception, BTS has been known to produce music that resonates with them; to create music with a message that represents the voiceless, the disenfranchised, and the oppressed. To see you appreciate that aspect of their songs truly warms my heart 💜
I hear you like practical effects. So who wants to tell em about Fake Love? I guess I will. Fake Love was released in 2018 and is an incredibly deep song, one of my personal favorites. It has some crazy effects in the video. Everything you see in the MV is real except some enhanced fire, a phone turning into sand, and some flying flower petals. I highly recommend watching it. Absolutely amazing.
I think you would enjoy Airplane by j-hope, he is the one who starts Mic Drop. It is a wonderfully classy and chill song that at the same time is a bit of a diss to all those who said they wouldn't make it. For a fun and celebratory song try CNS by j-hope (feat BeckyG) and for a more contemplative song set to a funky beat try Daydream by j-hope.
The 3 rappers have Cyphers before this song where they’re going off on their haters. The end part of this, “No need to see each other ever again, this is my last goodbye Nothing more left to say, don't even apologize” Is basically them saying they’re over the it, moving on and have nothing more to say on the issue. I think they said everything they needed to say prior this, and the haters weren’t worth any more of their time.
I think one of the things I love about bts distracks is they are never crase or vulgar, they dis haters through satire, intelligent word play and facts..... Honestly it's just embarrassing for those people because they are never even near there level.
I have learned that you need to watch BTS videos twice…The first time is to watch it with subtitles to appreciate their lyrics and the second time is to watch the video and choreography.
I love how the way both of you react the video. Also your interpretation was great. I hate when reactors called themselves hiphop fan but give nothing when bars were spitting. Mic Drop is the easy one. If you want rap rap, go to the individual rappers' songs. Three of them have different style of rap. The rapline songs' like Ddaeng, Ugh!, and Outro: Tear are my favs. You need explanation videos because of cultural references. DKDKTV is best for the explanation.
This made me so happy! The ones in the hoodies, that stand for the haters, watching them in the interrogation room, waiting for their downfall, but end up bobbing their heads kills me! 😁 Also, Suga had many arguements with his parents because he wanted to persue music so he's kinda flexing there! Thank you guys. You rock! Or should I say 'you rap!' 😁
ARMYs..we are slowly bringing them down the rabbit hole 😉😉 i am glad you are enjoying their songs and analyzing their lyrics.they have really deep meanings and talk about different topics like this one responds to their haters..others talk about grit and perseverance (ON:Kinetic Manifesto), self confidence and self esteem (Idol), and many others. Thats why their fanbase has a large mix of ages because of the positive messages they give, everyone can listen to them and theres something for everyone..pop, hip hop, ballads, R&B. They can go hard and they can go light hearted and fun.
I've watched all your Bts reactions and I'm really loving all your commentary on everything. You notice so much and you really know the industry, so it's great to see that combined. Our rapline is amazing. Highly recommend the Cyphers, Ddaeng, Ugh, and also Hip Hop Phile. Also! RM's Joke!!! He switches flows six times, I believe! You'll just love it (don't worry about the understanding the lyrics - he's mainly showing off his flow in this one).
im so glad you guys are focusing on lyrics too. not many people do that. i would reccomend you guys to watch the MV first and later watch it again but focusing on lyrics :]
They did it already even at the start of their careers. They are already killing it since their debut "No More Dream" 2013. The haters keep doubting them when they know like only 10% of BTS. I recommend reacting to the live performance of this. The MV may be anti-climactic to you!
I would love for you guys to check out some of the rapline stuff which they did together. Like the cyphers, ugh, outro: Tear, Outro her, ddaeng. And after that it would be nice to check out their individual styles later. Like jhopes, suga's and rm's mixtapes. And then there is stuff like albums solos which all seven members have... for example Like intro persona, interlude shadow and outro ego from mots7 album which also would be nice to check out because they have interconnected themes through them even tho its by individual members. These guys make so many layers of art.
If you want something along Mic Drop vibes: Dope and Fire. In fact, Fire was their release in 2016 which they sold as their summer song back then. Both are bangers.
To be honest I think y'all should watch the video first and then rewatch the video with the subtitles #ARMY won't mine at all...well that's what I think... #BTS
This is the advice I was about to write. I think most of us actually prefer the reaction to the musicality and visuals first (because that transcends language), and then to the lyrics. A 3rd watch is even fine, because it starts to train you on absorbing both visual & lyrics simultaneously.
BTS have 3 rappers & 4 vocals, if you want to hear more about their rapping skills, try to listen to their song UGH! the beat and the lyrics is so sick!
Bullet proof, DAnger, Not Today,DNA, Fire, Idol, WAr of Hormones, Save me, Fake Love, Blood Sweat and Tears, Black Swan... Born Singer, there are 4 Cyphers, Joke, Daechwita, Chicken noodle soup, On: Kinetic Manifesto
I appreciate you taking the time to understand the lyrics. A lot of BTS songs are meaningful and have hidden messages so great job! I suggest watching a lyric video first and then watching the MV. If you'll continue to listen to the rap songs of BTS, be sure to watch some of the explained videos from DKDTV before watching the MV
Glad to see you guys going into this rabbit hole known as BTS. I went through this a year and a half ago when I got sucked in by their song Boy with Luv Do try: On Fire Boy with Luv Blood sweat and tears Black swan
I really loved your reaction. As other people have stated, in the beginning RM and Suga were part of the underground rap scene. They caught sooo much flak for becoming idols and wearing make up and their older "friends" thought they were selling out. BTS has always preached be yourself. And they decided what better way to be taken seriously and spread their message, but to become the best. They are so different from other stars, they are truly humble, passionate, funny, goofy, vulnerable, real, ridiculously hard working, and caring about each other and their ARMY. Something different in this day and age. Since you dig RM's voice you might want to check out his Joke - Rap Monster (that is what his name used to be) Definitely use doolset for the lyrics everything else is a Joke (get it ha ha) Then I would say check out Suga aka Agust D - Daechwita. His style is close to Eminem. And then J-Hope Chicken Noodle Soup if you really love 80's hip hop. His style is a bit more dance rap, but all 3 are MAD talented. Can't wait for your next reaction. 😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I really don't understand why people think they have to over analyze the English in subtitles. We can see it too, no need to interpret what we are reading. Just enjoy it and tell us what you think AFTER you see it in it.
1 of the inspiration for mic drop was president's obama's last speech at the press corp dinner where he actually said "obama out" put 2 fingers to his lips & dropped the mic.
Here !r some of the rap only tracks you might enjoy: RM: CHANGE ft. Wale Do You Joke SUGA (aka Agust D): Agust D - self-titled; my fav. Daechwita Intro: Shadow J-HOPE: Airplane Daydream
do you know only 2 j-hope songs?? other you recommend at least 3 but for j-hope it is always these 2 songs... anyways at least you talked about h-hope that's already something for this fandom...
@@outroseok he was not a rapper b4 BTS so does get overlooked some. His solo stuff may not be as "hard" as RM & SUGA, but it's still really good. Additionally, the rapline includes all three and he more than hold his own. Catch them on: Intro: TEAR. (My favorite) Ddaeng Ugh! Cypher 1-4 Most have live versions.
fun fact. Suga's parents opposed his musical career which caused arguments, his mom even got rid of some of his songs before he left home. Hence Suga apologising to his mom for being succesful!
Mic Drop was a dis towards their haters, who told them they would not make it coming from a small company. They were criticized that they can't rap, and not hip hop anymore being idols. The part you mentioned at the end when they say don't need to apologize, refers to when they first started and this rapper called B-Free criticized them for wearing makeup and being like girls, and betraying hip hop. BTS got huge though and B-Free did not, and he tried to apologize to them. That's why they sing no need to apologize, you're not worth our time to answer you. They'll show it with all the trophies and wins they've been getting, Billboards, selling out stadiums worldwide. Mic Drop!
It’s so much fun watching you guys discover BTS. Loving the reactions. You guys need to check out Suga’s “Interlude: Shadow” and RM’s “Intro: Persona.” RM and Suga also did a track with Juice Wrld that’s one of my favorite songs - “All Night.”
If you are struggling with reading the lyrics you can always watch the video twice, paying attention to the visuals and the lyrics in separate watches. Or you can first watch a lyric video and then watch the mv/performance. Reading subtitles becomes more natural after a while.
The guy that came out of the ambulance that you like is RM, the leader of the group. It used to stand for Rap Monster but he outgrew that and just goes by RM now
I’ve never really liked American rap because of how it focuses on negativity, putting down women especially. BTS has introduced me to a new genre of rap that just supports being confident, loving yourself, and setting great boundaries with people who are hating on you because you’re good. MicDrop is also just a really enjoyable song - and of course the video is just off the chain. You just want to listen to it over and over again, and the remix is really fantastic. Thanks for reviewing it.
You guys can watch the video first then read the lyrics the second time around. A lot of reactors do that. Also, there's behind the scenes for making the MV.
If you love rap for lyrics and flow and you love RM's voice you NEED to watch his MV for "Joke". You're gonna need to watch it one time just to marvel at all of the flow changes and then a second time with subtitles to try to appreciate the BARS. I think you'll both love it.
If you see the behind the scene you can learn that they use almost no CGI in the videos, the explosion was real and some of them were really scare of that 😂
Guys please do their rap/hip hop b side tracks, mic drop is cool but it's still a single, BTS really shines and shows their essence on their b-side tracks. I recommend Outro: tear, Outro: Her, Ddang and Ugh. It would be nicer than just watching their solo stuff before even knowing much of them as a group. Btw bts does curse on their songs, not many of them, but they do lol
I love your reaction and how you dissect the lyrics. Mic Drop song lyrics contain references to haters. However, it can also hold meaningful messages as you can learn not to underestimate someone's dream how impossible it may be. In Korea, spoon can signify the economic situation or class depending on the income like ground spoon, bronze, silver and gold. Ground spoon refers to deficiency in income. The first few lines, Jhope was asking who said his spoon was from the ground and he's telling he has golden spoon representing their achievements, sold out concerts, #1 songs etc -- to cover the mouth of BTS' haters. The wordplay makes you think deep. Mic Drop has hit over 1B views and still continue to be viewed even 4 years after its release.
The 3 rappers have solo work. RM (you like his voice), J-Hope (the street dancer of the group), and AugstD (aka Suga) all have their own albums. RM and Suga came from underground rap. RM and Suga have been writing and producing from the beginning. As a group they have songs representing R&B, Latin, Hip-Hop, Pop, Ballads, and more. Dynamite and Butter are their only fully English songs. Asian Pop, in general, incorporates both English and native language - along with dancing. Full performance is an assumed part of the experience. 💜. I hope you enjoy the journey.
J-hope was an underground dancer and has been writing for BTS since the beginning too. He was the first member to have a registered KOMCA credit pre-debut and has writing and composing credits, along with RM and Suga, on every BTS album. He is also a producer. Please stop excluding him from the writing and producing discussions.
@@virginia_the_elder No worries! Apologies if I came off too harsh. My comment wasn’t directed just at you. There’s a lot of misinformation and/or lack of accurate information in this fandom about j-hope for some reason, particularly in regard to his songwriting credits. He was actually one of the main songwriters for Mic Drop and responsible for the general direction the song took. All of the rapline members have 100+ registered songwriting and composing credits, which is amazing and a testament to their hard work and talent.
@@Beka1378 No worries. J-Hope is one of my favorites cuz he can move like no other I’ve seen. As a relatively new fan (about a year) I’ve absorbed a lot so you making the correction told me I have much more to learn. 💜. I could tell from your comment how passionate you are so I took no offense, I opened my ears to listen. Namaste 🙏
Please react to 'UGH' also. It's an excellent song by the rapline This song contains amazing messages And mic drop is shot without green screen or cgi .You can watch it on the behind the scene video of Mic drop

I’d recommend “Hip-Hop Phile” to get a good insight of their story with Hip-Hop 🤩
7:57 THATS RM ! the leader of the group
Thank you !!!

Suga's parents were concerned about the success prospects of his underground rapping and then trying to become an "idol".
They got so much hate in their first three years (and honestly, still). Look it up, there are many videos that address their struggles.
This song is such a bomb! It was a burn for their haters to have the song dissing them AND having another mega hit while doing it
Edit: added: (and honestly, still)
Not just their first three years. They still got a lot of hate today. But now, I don't think BTS care anymore.
A lot of non Korean speaking Army will watch the video first, taking in just the visuals. Then rewatch reading the lyrics! It really helps me to appreciate the music and performance 💜
Fun fact: the inspiration for this was President Obama's actual mic drop!!

It’s a long, bitter story.
My favourite reactions to see are those to Mic Drop and Daechwita. I love SUGA's opening rap here. HIs parents were against his choice of career but he has shown them that his dream could become a reality. His mum can see her son is a success.
Yes, this song was to address their haters. They,ve evolved and achieved so much after years. Proud.
Suga calling out his own mom kills me every time!
Thank you so much to paying attention to the lyrics. A lot of reaction youtube videos don't pay enough attention to BTS lyrics.
The song is their response to the haters they had. They started in 2013 and were knocked and made fun of from the beginning because they were from a small company. Also, their videos were purposely not played and their TV appearances were many times cut short. This was due to jealousy and competitiveness by the main 3 entertainment companies. They experienced a ton of negativity, ridicule and death threats. They were told they were not talented and would never make it. They were even made fun of for writing and producing their own songs (something looked down on in Korea for K-POP bands.)
Start viewing the series, "Rise of Bangtan" to get to know them and what they went through.
I think you guys would enjoy Daechwita which is a solo work by Suga [Agust D] with a couple of cameos by other BTS members. It combines rap with Korean culture and is totally insane.
Yes RM'S voice stands out I love that
Love your reaction! You guys need to react to "Daechwita", "Joke" and "Cypher 2" to start
they reacted to daechwita in their live stream !
Why do you guys hate j-hope why is everyone in the comments pretending jhope doesn't exist or is not a part of the rapline and wasn't literally one of the main composers of mic drop
@@avanipandey3694 literally no one said anything against him?
@@mayamohan1632 oh great completely ignoring his existence is better thanks
@@avanipandey3694 I’m sorry but I think you’re imagining things right now. JHope is an integral part of the team and everyone but a few toxic solo stans know that. Please don’t try to start arguments for no reason in the future.
A little bit on the translations for Suga's verse: the line of their concerts have no empty seats, he actually says there are no grapes at our concerts.
This is a reference to how on Korean ticket sale sites, available seats are purple while non-available seats are grayed out. So, when most of the seats are sold, the available seats look like a bunch of scattered grapes on the screen.
Just wanted to point how Suga kept to the food related theme with his verses to follow-up J-Hope's verses.
It still means that they have no empty seats at their concerts. But of course, this reference would be hard to convey through a verse in English, so the translation just gave the direct meaning instead (we miss a lot of great wordplay like this, unfortunately bc some require you to already have the background knowledge on it to catch the references).
It's fun seeing more and more people got suck into the rabbit hole. Welcome the fandom guyss
I’m so glad you guys are breaking down the lyrics bc I truly believe that BTS’s lyricism is what sets them apart from other artist. These guys were just built different - literally. From their inception, BTS has been known to produce music that resonates with them; to create music with a message that represents the voiceless, the disenfranchised, and the oppressed. To see you appreciate that aspect of their songs truly warms my heart 💜
I hear you like practical effects.
So who wants to tell em about Fake Love?
I guess I will.
Fake Love was released in 2018 and is an incredibly deep song, one of my personal favorites. It has some crazy effects in the video. Everything you see in the MV is real except some enhanced fire, a phone turning into sand, and some flying flower petals.
I highly recommend watching it. Absolutely amazing.
We watched it on our livestream and it was amazing, we will definitely have to do a video on it!!
@@ZiahTV Oooooo good to know! I'll have to check it out now.
I think you would enjoy Airplane by j-hope, he is the one who starts Mic Drop. It is a wonderfully classy and chill song that at the same time is a bit of a diss to all those who said they wouldn't make it. For a fun and celebratory song try CNS by j-hope (feat BeckyG) and for a more contemplative song set to a funky beat try Daydream by j-hope.
The 3 rappers have Cyphers before this song where they’re going off on their haters.
The end part of this, “No need to see each other ever again, this is my last goodbye
Nothing more left to say, don't even apologize”
Is basically them saying they’re over the it, moving on and have nothing more to say on the issue. I think they said everything they needed to say prior this, and the haters weren’t worth any more of their time.
BTS performed this live on SNL and it was fire. I would recommend checking it out. Thanks for the reaction, guys!
Don’t worry you guys will get used to watching and reading the subtitles at the same time! it’ll become 2nd nature soon lol
the live performance of mic drop is on another level
DOPE and FIRE are definitely must see MVs of theirs!
I think one of the things I love about bts distracks is they are never crase or vulgar, they dis haters through satire, intelligent word play and facts..... Honestly it's just embarrassing for those people because they are never even near there level.
They are even better singing and performing LIVE
These guys explained this song so so well
Thank you thank you for ur nice reaction bts are legends the best
I have learned that you need to watch BTS videos twice…The first time is to watch it with subtitles to appreciate their lyrics and the second time is to watch the video and choreography.
I crack up too when suga goes “ehhhh sue it”
I say it with him when the song comes on😂🤚🏾
Rappers of the BTS Always Come with bars.
I love how the way both of you react the video. Also your interpretation was great. I hate when reactors called themselves hiphop fan but give nothing when bars were spitting.
Mic Drop is the easy one. If you want rap rap, go to the individual rappers' songs. Three of them have different style of rap. The rapline songs' like Ddaeng, Ugh!, and Outro: Tear are my favs. You need explanation videos because of cultural references. DKDKTV is best for the explanation.
This made me so happy!
The ones in the hoodies, that stand for the haters, watching them in the interrogation room, waiting for their downfall, but end up bobbing their heads kills me! 😁
Also, Suga had many arguements with his parents because he wanted to persue music so he's kinda flexing there!
Thank you guys. You rock! Or should I say 'you rap!' 😁
ARMYs..we are slowly bringing them down the rabbit hole 😉😉
i am glad you are enjoying their songs and analyzing their lyrics.they have really deep meanings and talk about different topics like this one responds to their haters..others talk about grit and perseverance (ON:Kinetic Manifesto), self confidence and self esteem (Idol), and many others. Thats why their fanbase has a large mix of ages because of the positive messages they give, everyone can listen to them and theres something for everyone..pop, hip hop, ballads, R&B. They can go hard and they can go light hearted and fun.
I love how you notice every little thing in all BTS music videos and your interpretation to every meaning of their lyrics
Bts started out as a hip Hop group, you can see there Mvs like No Moore Dream, Bulletproof pt 2. Boy in luv
I've watched all your Bts reactions and I'm really loving all your commentary on everything. You notice so much and you really know the industry, so it's great to see that combined. Our rapline is amazing. Highly recommend the Cyphers, Ddaeng, Ugh, and also Hip Hop Phile. Also! RM's Joke!!! He switches flows six times, I believe! You'll just love it (don't worry about the understanding the lyrics - he's mainly showing off his flow in this one).
Thank you so much!!
im so glad you guys are focusing on lyrics too. not many people do that. i would reccomend you guys to watch the MV first and later watch it again but focusing on lyrics :]
They did it already even at the start of their careers. They are already killing it since their debut "No More Dream" 2013. The haters keep doubting them when they know like only 10% of BTS.
I recommend reacting to the live performance of this. The MV may be anti-climactic to you!
I would love for you guys to check out some of the rapline stuff which they did together. Like the cyphers, ugh, outro: Tear, Outro her, ddaeng.
And after that it would be nice to check out their individual styles later. Like jhopes, suga's and rm's mixtapes.
And then there is stuff like albums solos which all seven members have... for example Like intro persona, interlude shadow and outro ego from mots7 album which also would be nice to check out because they have interconnected themes through them even tho its by individual members.
These guys make so many layers of art.
We appreciate people who are willing to read lyrics here man.
funny is suga be saying "sorry billboard" that's even before getting on top 10 charts which is hilarious
If you want something along Mic Drop vibes: Dope and Fire. In fact, Fire was their release in 2016 which they sold as their summer song back then. Both are bangers.
You'll be surprised.. that explosion, is not cgi. 💥💥
every bts lyrics is fire and bomb!i love reactors who are focus on lyrics,thank you,😊
To be honest I think y'all should watch the video first and then rewatch the video with the subtitles #ARMY won't mine at all...well that's what I think... #BTS
This is the advice I was about to write. I think most of us actually prefer the reaction to the musicality and visuals first (because that transcends language), and then to the lyrics. A 3rd watch is even fine, because it starts to train you on absorbing both visual & lyrics simultaneously.
BTS have 3 rappers & 4 vocals, if you want to hear more about their rapping skills, try to listen to their song UGH! the beat and the lyrics is so sick!
Bullet proof, DAnger, Not Today,DNA, Fire, Idol, WAr of Hormones, Save me, Fake Love, Blood Sweat and Tears, Black Swan... Born Singer, there are 4 Cyphers, Joke, Daechwita, Chicken noodle soup, On: Kinetic Manifesto
I appreciate you taking the time to understand the lyrics. A lot of BTS songs are meaningful and have hidden messages so great job! I suggest watching a lyric video first and then watching the MV. If you'll continue to listen to the rap songs of BTS, be sure to watch some of the explained videos from DKDTV before watching the MV
Ppplsssss i waaaaaannnnt to hug both of you 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 you expressed everything army would say so simply 😭 keep going 🔥🔥🔥
Glad to see you guys going into this rabbit hole known as BTS.
I went through this a year and a half ago when I got sucked in by their song Boy with Luv
Do try:
On
Fire
Boy with Luv
Blood sweat and tears
Black swan
Thanks for reacting honestly!! Take your time and enjoy the BTS ride!!
Total respect for you guys. I have to watch BTS videos 3 times to get the overwhelming first impression, visuals and lyrics. I couldn't do it in 1 go.
I really loved your reaction. As other people have stated, in the beginning RM and Suga were part of the underground rap scene. They caught sooo much flak for becoming idols and wearing make up and their older "friends" thought they were selling out. BTS has always preached be yourself. And they decided what better way to be taken seriously and spread their message, but to become the best. They are so different from other stars, they are truly humble, passionate, funny, goofy, vulnerable, real, ridiculously hard working, and caring about each other and their ARMY. Something different in this day and age.
Since you dig RM's voice you might want to check out his Joke - Rap Monster (that is what his name used to be) Definitely use doolset for the lyrics everything else is a Joke (get it ha ha)
Then I would say check out Suga aka Agust D - Daechwita. His style is close to Eminem. And then J-Hope Chicken Noodle Soup if you really love 80's hip hop. His style is a bit more dance rap, but all 3 are MAD talented. Can't wait for your next reaction. 😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I really don't understand why people think they have to over analyze the English in subtitles. We can see it too, no need to interpret what we are reading. Just enjoy it and tell us what you think AFTER you see it in it.
1 of the inspiration for mic drop was president's obama's last speech at the press corp dinner where he actually said "obama out" put 2 fingers to his lips & dropped the mic.
Here !r some of the rap only tracks you might enjoy:
RM: CHANGE ft. Wale
Do You
Joke
SUGA (aka Agust D):
Agust D - self-titled; my fav.
Daechwita
Intro: Shadow
J-HOPE:
Airplane
Daydream
Change is my absolute favourite. Listen to it daily. It is a song for the times we are living through.
do you know only 2 j-hope songs?? other you recommend at least 3 but for j-hope it is always these 2 songs... anyways at least you talked about h-hope that's already something for this fandom...
Please edit this to recommend the same number of songs for Hobi as you have for the other two. Add CNS since it has a mv. Thank you.
a comment actually including hoseok’s solos to recommend wow thank you.. a lot of these comments completely excluded him.
@@outroseok he was not a rapper b4 BTS so does get overlooked some. His solo stuff may not be as "hard" as RM & SUGA, but it's still really good.
Additionally, the rapline includes all three and he more than hold his own. Catch them on:
Intro: TEAR. (My favorite)
Ddaeng
Ugh!
Cypher 1-4
Most have live versions.
fun fact. Suga's parents opposed his musical career which caused arguments, his mom even got rid of some of his songs before he left home. Hence Suga apologising to his mom for being succesful!
Mic Drop was a dis towards their haters, who told them they would not make it coming from a small company. They were criticized that they can't rap, and not hip hop anymore being idols. The part you mentioned at the end when they say don't need to apologize, refers to when they first started and this rapper called B-Free criticized them for wearing makeup and being like girls, and betraying hip hop. BTS got huge though and B-Free did not, and he tried to apologize to them. That's why they sing no need to apologize, you're not worth our time to answer you. They'll show it with all the trophies and wins they've been getting, Billboards, selling out stadiums worldwide. Mic Drop!
It’s so much fun watching you guys discover BTS. Loving the reactions. You guys need to check out Suga’s “Interlude: Shadow” and RM’s “Intro: Persona.” RM and Suga also did a track with Juice Wrld that’s one of my favorite songs - “All Night.”
Great job on the reactions. 😀💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks 🙏🏽
why am I smiling so much watching this,.
love your reaction 😘
We believe that, "BTS is the Genre"...🤫😉😍
There's a thing called "BANGTAN STYLE" RM always talk about it before but not now hahaha
If you are struggling with reading the lyrics you can always watch the video twice, paying attention to the visuals and the lyrics in separate watches. Or you can first watch a lyric video and then watch the mv/performance. Reading subtitles becomes more natural after a while.
You guys are so chill and open-minded 👍
I enjoy your breakdowns and insights . Thank you for supporting the boys.
The guy that came out of the ambulance that you like is RM, the leader of the group.
It used to stand for Rap Monster but he outgrew that and just goes by RM now
Intro: persona is a masterpiece ✨ this is a rap song by RM
No effects, no cgi. All of this is real
They are addressing their haters in the entire video
Guys, Thank you for your compliment and suggestion for our BTS ! I like your concern all about performance and type of songs.
I’ve never really liked American rap because of how it focuses on negativity, putting down women especially. BTS has introduced me to a new genre of rap that just supports being confident, loving yourself, and setting great boundaries with people who are hating on you because you’re good. MicDrop is also just a really enjoyable song - and of course the video is just off the chain. You just want to listen to it over and over again, and the remix is really fantastic. Thanks for reviewing it.
You guys can watch the video first then read the lyrics the second time around. A lot of reactors do that. Also, there's behind the scenes for making the MV.
Love your reaction! This song is so cool!
If you love rap for lyrics and flow and you love RM's voice you NEED to watch his MV for "Joke". You're gonna need to watch it one time just to marvel at all of the flow changes and then a second time with subtitles to try to appreciate the BARS. I think you'll both love it.
If you see the behind the scene you can learn that they use almost no CGI in the videos, the explosion was real and some of them were really scare of that 😂
it's really good and one of my fave mv and hype song of them💜 thank you for reacting.
Guys please do their rap/hip hop b side tracks, mic drop is cool but it's still a single, BTS really shines and shows their essence on their b-side tracks. I recommend Outro: tear, Outro: Her, Ddang and Ugh. It would be nicer than just watching their solo stuff before even knowing much of them as a group. Btw bts does curse on their songs, not many of them, but they do lol
I love your reaction! I think you’re both natural ARMYs. Kudos! BTS is the best! There’s nothing like BTS!
If you want to see heavy rap, try cyphers 1,2,3,4.. They roast their haters🔥 they RAP RAP... no mv, it's a lyric video.
Mic Drop de mis favoritas 🎤💜🎵🎶🎼👏👏👏
Not today, black swan, idol plz~~
마이크드랍은 2017mama를 봐 주셔요.
You know what I’ll recommend is to watch the whole thing thru and go thru the lyrics afterwards. Doesn’t matter how long the video. We will watch it
I love your reaction and how you dissect the lyrics. Mic Drop song lyrics contain references to haters. However, it can also hold meaningful messages as you can learn not to underestimate someone's dream how impossible it may be. In Korea, spoon can signify the economic situation or class depending on the income like ground spoon, bronze, silver and gold. Ground spoon refers to deficiency in income. The first few lines, Jhope was asking who said his spoon was from the ground and he's telling he has golden spoon representing their achievements, sold out concerts, #1 songs etc -- to cover the mouth of BTS' haters. The wordplay makes you think deep. Mic Drop has hit over 1B views and still continue to be viewed even 4 years after its release.
The 3 rappers have solo work. RM (you like his voice), J-Hope (the street dancer of the group), and AugstD (aka Suga) all have their own albums. RM and Suga came from underground rap. RM and Suga have been writing and producing from the beginning.
As a group they have songs representing R&B, Latin, Hip-Hop, Pop, Ballads, and more. Dynamite and Butter are their only fully English songs. Asian Pop, in general, incorporates both English and native language - along with dancing. Full performance is an assumed part of the experience. 💜. I hope you enjoy the journey.
J-hope was an underground dancer and has been writing for BTS since the beginning too. He was the first member to have a registered KOMCA credit pre-debut and has writing and composing credits, along with RM and Suga, on every BTS album. He is also a producer. Please stop excluding him from the writing and producing discussions.
@@Beka1378 I have been misinformed. Thank you for correcting me.
@@virginia_the_elder No worries! Apologies if I came off too harsh. My comment wasn’t directed just at you. There’s a lot of misinformation and/or lack of accurate information in this fandom about j-hope for some reason, particularly in regard to his songwriting credits. He was actually one of the main songwriters for Mic Drop and responsible for the general direction the song took. All of the rapline members have 100+ registered songwriting and composing credits, which is amazing and a testament to their hard work and talent.
@@Beka1378 No worries. J-Hope is one of my favorites cuz he can move like no other I’ve seen. As a relatively new fan (about a year) I’ve absorbed a lot so you making the correction told me I have much more to learn. 💜. I could tell from your comment how passionate you are so I took no offense, I opened my ears to listen. Namaste 🙏
Please react to 'UGH' also.
It's an excellent song by the rapline
This song contains amazing messages
And mic drop is shot without green screen or cgi .You can watch it on the behind the scene video of Mic drop
