Can't wait
You should make him listen to "Jack in the box"
Ay ay ayyyyy🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Soon Soon, like today??😊😊
Can't waitttt
You have no idea how emotional the fandom was when this collab dropped because we know how meaningful it is for Jhope. He calls Jcole his muse. He personally met him during Lollapalooza when Jhope headlined. And a friendship grew from there. It is one of the most wholesome relationship BTS have in the western industry along with Coldplay.
I didn't get concrete sense of a friendship formed, for sure a mutual respect and sense of colleagueship but did they really form a friendship?
Don't forget Halsey, she befriended BTS back in 2017 and has probably collab'd with them the most.
@@SY-fp6ng they text each other like they have each others numbers. Hoseok wished him and his family a happy new year, calls him hyung then on insta Jcole congratulated him for on the street, wrote how he learned what hyung means and said for him to be safe (something along those lines. it was very sweet) good vibes good people
When he said “Jhope Cole world” I legit cried.
@@littleponeybeyts5420 I know Hoseok was geeking hard and smiling from ear to ear when he heard that part fkfjfkfjd 😭🫶🫶🫶 it's kinda like when Jimin was listening to on the street during one of his livestreams and he couldn't help but laugh and hit the wall when he heard the "Jhope Cole world" line😭😭💜
1:36 the way he recognized Cole like we recognize Bangtan from their shadows 😂
💜💜
lmaooo 😭😭 it rly is
Ikrrr
Looool
Varnell is every person who gives BTS a fair chance listen - and then wonders, incredulously, how he was never exposed to them before.
The truth is a combination of things: 1) People automatically passing them by because they assume they're (only) bubblegum pop music 2) BH not payola-ing them into everyone's ears ad nauseum 3) Inherent unacknowledged societal bias/xenophobia.
4) Automatic dismissal of their music because folks assume ARMY is mostly teen girls, and they don't want to be associated with what teen girls like.
All that to say we're back to Yoongi saying everyone would be a fan if they'd just listen without prejudice.💜
Also algorithms putting them into Kpop category, though especially with their solo work we know they are clearly Rap, Hip Hop, Indy etc. It's really annoying bc, yeah while your points absolutely apply, some ppl might still give a chance but it really NEVER crosses their timeline or recommendations
Thank you for explaining it so well.
@@skarbuskreska I've always shown my indignation about this... in everything they do they are categorized as kpop even though their album is the total opposite of what kpop is. It makes me very upset because they deserve to be known as their true style of music. That's why I say that kpop shouldn't be considered a genre, for me this is just a way of keeping BTS inside the kpop bubble because the group's members are the only ones who can "threaten" the music industry in the west. I've known BTS for 3 years and over time I've come to understand the real reason behind this type of behavior towards them....
I hope that one day we can break this system and that they can receive the recognition they deserve
@@jussaraveiga39 All these points above apply, it's very hard explaining this to people new to bts or baby army but once you get in deep you start to learn. Most days I think it's a good thing that I know what they are up against and how they still need army's support fighting against it but occasionally I wish for the ol' ignorance is bliss or my baby army days when I was clueless to it all lol.
I agree with the algorithm. If you're just casual listener of music esp Western, BTS would never pass by! Though the most common reason I witnessed personally is "Ah Kpop, ok!" It's bc others were "payola-ed by their companies so they've seen the other grps and already have an idea as to what Kpop is so they don't give a thought bc they don't like the prior grps" and annoying people label our boys as kpop alone, fnkc them! Second, A lot of people don't like feminine men or soft men. Equating men as always with muscles and macho, masculine things. And Kpop is known for versatile men, who can do both! Honestly, fnck them all mofos!!!
I couldn’t stop smiling throughout the video.
I wanna tell something to Varnell. This collab didn’t happen out of the blue. J-hope started as a street dancer very young and he has been very passionate about hip hop since then. He admires old school rappers because he used to dance on their songs but his ultimate admiration has always been J Cole.
I guess, J hope first met Jermaine when Jhope headlined Lollapalooza in 2022 and that year, J Cole was also performing at Lollapalooza and Jhope met him at the backstage and after 4-5 months, we got this collab announcement.
You can see Jhope’s admiration for Jcole in this song also. He didn’t try to outshine Jermaine out of respect. Jhope had very less bars in this song.
Did you notice in the music video that when Jermaine was rapping, Jhope was dancing. He tried to recreate his teenage days when he used to dance on Jermaine’s song.
So you can understand how special this collab was.
Oh and because he has been a dancer, his knowledge of beats is unmatchable. His songs always have outstanding beats. And to cherish his pen game and word plays, one must have a good command over Korean language. Translator Armys help us with that and we’re grateful to them.
Can’t wait for your reaction to his albums 🤩
Wonderful observation about Hobi dancing throughout J Cole's whole part as if he was back in his early years!
And you would expect the main rapper come back and do another verse on their own song but Hobi didn't.. and actually J Coles verse is mindblowingly amazing and emotional... I get chills! From the hope, lyricism, and respect bursting from this song! ❤❤❤
Thanks for this great comment giving Varnell the full context! Very helpful!
It may also help to add that this isn't BTS' first interaction with J. Cole - as they wrote/released "Born Singer" shortly after debuting in 2013.
Hobipalooza was INSANE!!! Varnell needs to watch that!!
@@girondellecd and they finally cleared the song born singer from Jcoles born sinner in 2022 as it was released officially with their anthology album Proof
@@user-vv7hc7kb5o AND that they placed it as the opening song of PROOF! 🔥
RM said "fuck the algorithm" and here you see why...
32 bars from Cole, Army knew we got blessed. But we also know Jhope deserves that acknowledgement.
This was really fun, much love to you both for giving us this.
Jhope is the shadow/2nd leader of BTS. Whereas RM takes care of the more business/PR/music visions side of leadership, Jhope is the performance leader making sure the team always gives their best in their performances and leads the boys during practices.
Yes! Members have stated that if RM couldn’t be the leader, J-Hope would take his place
J hope is the dance captain aka like the co- performer director. Like if the director is not there jhope takes the lead. Their performer director is their OG choreographer.
So jhope said that he would like to be a performer director in the future. Also apart of Bts performances , his experience for that is being in charge of his stage in Lollapalooza
I think watering namjoon down to the business/pr leader is a little redundant cuz he is very much at the centre of bts' musicality and artistic story. He writes the artistic journey as well as makes his members artistic desires clear to the company/teams involved
Never saw someone describe Jhope as the shadow lol but def tru about him being the 2nd leader 👍🏻😄
@@mev9752 yes like Son Sung Deuk, their choreo director from the start. Also Jhope is their main motivator during practices, remember Jimin was like Hobi hyung dont get sick anymore for my sake..hehe when Jhope was absent they just didnt have the same drive when Hobi is around.
The moment when jhope and jcole first met in person at lollapalooza is recorded in the documetary 'jhope IN THE BOX'. I've never seen jhope so starstruck and shy, it's actually adorable. He named himself after jcole. I actually recommend watching the whole lollapalooza concert live, jhope on stage is hypnotizing.
This is an excellent recommendation! J-Hope's performance at Lollapalooza is iconic & that behind video w/ J. Cole is a MUST for Varnell !
Hobipalooza was another level. I was there and will NEVER forget 100,000 of us singing Hangsang at the top of our lungs. The energy was INSANE - it permeated my body. It was like transcending. After standing in the heat all day, I questioned my sanity, but J-Hope’s performance made it all worth it!!
@@annettedixon5902 Same, I was barricade and it was lit asf
@@QAmodb OH TO BE THERE
this!! also for the fact that the live versions of his songs are even better than the studio ones. j-hope was born to be on stage.
Omg, finally somebody as excited about the harmonizing as I was 🤩🤩🤩🤩
The harmonies are what keep me coming back again and again 😭 They are soooooo good
frrr I love it tooo
I was definitely going nutz for it. J-Cole does not do that for just anyone!
Frrr I was screaming OMG OMG OMG OMG IS THIS REAL😅
ME TOO
JERMAINE!!!!! ARMY I can't believe I never knew this SMH lol
Welcome to the party bro 😎
Loved your reaction!! We can’t wait to see if they will perform together once j-hope is out of the military.
BTS should have been included in the 50th Hip Hop Anniversary Special that The Roots leader directed to showcase how far hip hop culture reached worldwide and how it spawned the creation of the Worlds Greatest Group, BTS....all the way across the world i. South Korea.
Please check out the tv reality series, American Hustle Life, where Warren G, Coolio and Tony teach young BTS about LA hip hop culture.....and they have their first concert of 200+ people who they begged on the streets of West Hollywood to attend.
They also received vocal training from Iris Stephensen, who Sister Act 2 was modeled after.
Fyi, Whoopie Goldburg later met BTS on the Graham Norton Show where she gave JK a shirt off her back whose sales supported an Africain aid charity.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
welcome down the rabbit hole Bro, you're about to go on a wild ride full of thrills, buckle up. Welcome to fam baby army 😏 Love seeing your honest reactions, takes me back to when i discovered them too. We get it, we do, welcome
RM: Analyzes The World
J-Hope: Visualizes The World
Suga/Agust D: Criticizes The World
Naur they said it, Suga is the musician on a high level
My new found happiness is coming on youtube and seeing Sleep uploaded a new BTS reaction with Varnell, not just for the fun of seeing his reactions but because i learn a whole lot from both of you. I'm super grateful that i got suggested this channel❤❤❤
Same
Amén hermana 🫶💜🫶🙌🥰👏👏
💯
Exactly how I feel!!🙏
Ttue true true! More
love to Sleep and Varnell 💜
A heads up on a couple of Easter eggs in this mv. The opening scene is the same alley featured in J.Cole’s SIMBA mv. The subway platform jhope is dancing on is For the Bowery where JayZ Got started. The subway exit is the one JayZ took his name from. Of course, jhope would do his farewell mv in NYC where hip hop got its start. 💜
I didn’t know about JayZ, that’s amazing
Thanks for sharing such details with us, I'm rather belatedly starting to find out more about these iconic rappers that influenced BTS. For instance, it's because of RM's new album that I heard about Tyler, the Creator and I'm rapidly falling for his music.
I love it! Thanks for sharing
Wow, thanks for the info. 💜
In the j-hope lollapalooza documentary, Hobi talks about "Higher" being his fave song growing up & a strong influence on him. He was fan-girling hard about meeting Jcole in person.
I love that Hope properly made J Cole the biggest part of this song. Respect and love.
Absolutely! It's a wonderful show of respect and admiration... it makes me tear up every time.lol 😢❤
I think it helps that BTS don't seem to view the people who inspired them as competition to just be beaten or bested. Every time they've met someone they looked up to they have been completely honest about that without trying to "look cool". There's a behind the scenes short of Hope and Cole meeting for the first time at Lollapalooza, when they were both performing, and you could tell how excited J Hope was to tell Cole that he was his muse and that "higher" was his favorite song. That genuineness goes a long way to building real relationships. Especially when people seem so concerned with being cool to the point that they either hold back on telling someone what they've meant to them as an artist and just giving them their flowers, or they only view their idols as artists that need to be surpassed in order to prove their own greatness.
My top 5's will usually be filled with artists who understand that the greatness in others cannot actually diminish the greatness in themselves, and that increasing the number of true "goats" with unique pov's is a net positive for a culture that they themselves loved enough to make them want become great.
The whole song started from J Hope whistling he does it a lot and he decided to use it as part of the melody. When J Cole sent him his lyric's J Hope didn't want to cut any of them as J Cole is his Muse so he put them all in. There's a behind the scene's where J Hope is writing a card to J Cole and gets really nervious and asks., "Is this how ARMY (Fandom) feel when they write letter to us". There's also BTH were at Lollapalooza J Hope with Jimin are walking and there's J Cole waiting to meet him. They talk and J Hope is fanboying. It's so lovely to watch this lead to J Hope Featuring J Cole on his song which was a see you later to ARMY before he went to start his military service which ends in 3months. We'd love for J Hope and J Cole to have time to do another track together.
There's a behind the scene video of them shooting the MV. And 80 percent of jhope & jcole's interaction is basically them hugging each other over and over again. And I'm all for it 😍
Their solo albums have allowed some of them to collaborate with their idols. Hobi’s idol is J.Cole. He’s always been vocal about that so we were so excited to see them meet at Lollapalooza when Hobi performed. It’s great for us ARMY to understand how big a deal this collaboration is. It’s a bomb song. That’s the great part of stanning BTS, they bring all kinds of beats, genres of music to their discography and always surprise you every time. Their solos really showed the world how individually different their styles and musical preferences are plus how they are so incredibly talented on their own but their synergy together is like Varnell said, Ultron. 😅 Loved this reaction.
Exactly! I recall Sleep telling Varnell about Jin’s collab with Coldplay, and I was just going to say this is kind of the same situation. Ever since 2022, BTS members have been on a journey of self discovery, their first solo endeavors, and the HARD work they’d done for 10 years really paid off, because almost all of them had the opportunity to do their literal dream collab.
He would go nuts with BTS' song Hip Hop Phile (Hip Hop Lover). BTS studies and respects the greatest.
I know right!! J-hope needs to be exposed to actual hip hop audiences!! Thank you Sleep for doing this💜 it's really sad that western labels and streaming services just club hip hop from the rapline as "kpop"
exactly this! I'm not surprised why the algo didn't bring Hobi, RM, Suga to Varnell's tl....so much gatekeeping, shadow banning, miscategorizing and blackballing of bts occurs.
I am THOROUGHLY enjoying Varnell's journey into ARMY-hood. 😄 And he isn't alone in wondering why he didn't notice BTS sooner--but as they say, when Bangtan decides it's your time, they will find you.
This feature parallels how j-hope approaches dance--he does his thing, but then takes a step back and gives the other artist space to do their thing. After noticing this in the "On the Street" documentary, I could see it in this song and how he treats others with respect. But make no mistake--his flow is 🔥. And he can sing and dance too! Can't wait for our sunshine to be back in 108 days. 🌞
Thank you to the person who suggested keeping the feature secret!!LOVED his reaction
💯 Such a fire suggestion!!
This has the potential to be tbe best youtube series ever lmao. Lets get ready for all 300+ songs bts has released haha
7:20 "You couldn't pay for that. You know how much people would pay for that?!?" Loved his appreciation for this collaboration.
8:12 this just made me think ARMY's not paranoid when we say BTS are suppressed by the algorithms.
@haladams I agreed !
They have to be. I can’t think of a simpler explanation because my account is virtually dedicated to BTS and YT seldom recommends them. I keep having to search for “recently added” content.
SAME LITERALLY and I'm just like why? How can we resolve this? Because I know, we all know, they would have devoured the gp by now@@7Flowers1Dream
J Hope has 'Hope world', 'Jack in the box' and 'Hope on the streets vol1' solo albums.
Sleep, thx for dropping this! Varnell, you are a real one! Also Suga’s featured in Juiceworld Girl of My Dream which you need to checkout! Actually BTS worked with Juiceworld back in 2019 for the track All Night!
Suga is the core and highest talent of bts RL, the musician
lesssss gooooo i was waiting for varnell to have his jaw hanging when j cole keeps on going beyond 16 bars 🤣🤣🤣
Love that 99% of your viewers that like also comment. This is highest percentage I have ever seen!
It’s UNREAL! I know I’m new to a lot of people, but me and ARMY have been having extensive convos for over four years now. A lot have even met me in person at shows, even in Target 🤣. We’ve been family, so this just feels like an extension of our amazing relationship 💜💜
This fandom has immense love and respect for Cole hyung and how he embraced j-hope. They say never to meet your idols, but so far Cole (and Coldplay) are true exceptions.💜
Looking forward to the continuation.😊
can’t wait for you guys to check out HipHop Phile/ HipHop Lover..
J. Cole is j-hope’s muse.. hence his name, & the name of his 1st mixtape Hope World. excited to see the Jack in the Box reaction.. 💜
He needs to see Hobipalloza
Yes so much this!!! It’s so amazing! And the behind where he meets J Cole for the first time! The fanboy was reeaaaaallllll!!
Jhope gifted this song to Armys before enlisting in the military. The lyrics made us all emotional. He poured his heart out in this song 🥺💜
I love Varnell saying that Cole including the current conversation on his verse is including j-hope in that larger conversation. Yeah! They SHOULD be included. Only reason they're not, is bias, prejudice, and a world whose navelgazing blocks any outside views. I'm really glad musicians of all kinds break out and look up, because the world is here, and j-hope is part of it.
I, too, thought that was a really important insight from Varnell And likewise, this isn't just your typical reaction video. The fact that our dear Sleep, an artist within the industry, is presenting BTS to Varnell, another industry artist, also includes BTS in the bigger conversation. In other words, this is an historical moment. It's about time BTS' hip-hop is recognized for its value/place, and that's exactly what you gentlemen are doing. Thank You!
God I love Varnell. He's so hype next to calm and collected Sleep. This contrast kills me everytime!! I wanna see that ARMY meter going high on this guy. He just cracks me up 😂😂😂
Every time you say "It's one word. Like Cher" I giggle
I was refreshing my CZcams this whole weekend. Finally
Same😅
Same, same 😂
Saaamee🥲
Same lol
Yes!! This was a great treat to wake up to!💜
If someone hasn’t mentioned it, when j-hope and Cole met, j-hope said his favorite song was a deeeeeep cut, and you could see Cole and his whole team were extremely impressed. I was floored when they did this, ultimate seal of approval. Also we tend to say that j-hope doesn’t ride the beat, he is the beat. I. Can’t. WAIT to see what he thinks of “What if” 😎 THANK YOU SLEEP THANK YOU VARNELL!!! And don’t worry, I kick myself all the time that I didn’t find them sooner, I think many of us do who weren’t here from the early days 💜 It’s fun to see you having fun 🙌🏾
i think i read somwhere that this video was shot at the same place j cole's simba mv was shot . talk about paying homage and respect !
Everytime I'm here, Varnell always represents me lmao.. I was so clueless too when discovering BTS rapline and hey yeah he reminds me of my reaction while listening to their music.. LOVE all the discussion and yes it's valid being mad of the YT algorhitm cause YT love messing with ARMY and BTS, idk what beef YT has for always hiding BTS under a rock when its algorithm should push them out
I 100% get how Varnell hadn’t come across them through YT recommendations. My YT activity (on a new account even) has been 99% BTS-related for over a year and YT is still trying to convince me to join a far-right conspiracy cult or something. 🤦🏻♀️I keep having to search for BTS content specifically.
because BTS doesn't want to pay for the ad (I read in Twit), that's why now most BTS mvs have fewer views even though they have more likes
anything BTS is specifically shadowbanned on yt since like 2022 lol it's hilarious rly because a bts mv would have views and like ratio that doesn't make any sense meanwhile other groups/artists would have less likes but 2-3 times more views.......
them ads and payola be doing wonders for them kpop groups lol. Anyone who has been paying attention can clearly see this.
also add in that yt deletes views at the tens of millions for no reason not just for the guys new solo mvs but even doing so to old mvs which aren't new releases. it's actually so mf sick ://
FR!! I have to search for bts content, while yt keep suggesting me a girl group that I’m not interested in and keep tagging it as “not interested”
@@7Flowers1Dream me too, I keep getting weird recommendation, mostly kpop that I never intent on listening to lmao
Introducing j-hope with this collab is just so... 😮 the poor guy didn't know what hit him 😂
I'm addicted to video reaction (of BTS) and you guys are specials in this game! I like to learn new things about music and hip hop and you speak about new things I didn't know, that's so satisfying. I feel even more proud to know who are the bangtan boys, to know their story and to listen to them.
By the way today THE Diana Ross said “I really like his songs and his videos. MJ is coming through all of the moves. I just think he’s great!” while speaking about Jungkook so I cannot wait for Varnell to listen to our super pop star boy.
But let's him listen to the masterpiece Jack In The Box first, that's the next step of the staircase to BTS WORLD
100% agree that's also why I love Sleep Deez it's not just entertainment, it's also very informative
I feel really sad that MJ couldn’t be here to know him, I’m sure he would’ve loved him. I even think they would have done something together. That would have been JK’s dream collab the way Cole was J-Hope’s. But Usher was a wonderful choice instead.
@@joymaripau4 that's so true !!! I'm a big big fan of MJ and I'm pretty sure if he was still alive he would love BTS because it's the same vibe : good mind, real artists, music lovers, hard-working, try to surpass themselves, always innovate, try to make the difference, try to change mentalities, fighting against racism and negativity...
Before falling for BTS I saw someone on twitter said "BTS is like 7 MJ in one group" I laughed so hard because it was impossible for me to compare the king of pop to anyone, let alone a "boyband"... But now I understand it, they are GOLD for real.
I'm also a big Usher fan so I was so excited when the SNTY remix was realized 🤩🤩
@@mrgxthvn MJ would have loved the tannies so much ☹️☹️😕 he's gone too soon
Had to watch this reaction twice because Varnell’s bright joy at this surprise is infectious. We get so spoiled with so many songs that this feels like a distant memory now. Thank you for bringing the feeling back of how great this moment was.
"for j.cole to collab with you, he must like you."
hobi is a sweet, lovely, talented, passionate, and charismatic guy. The only way in life is to like j-hope. 😂
As a jhope fan and J. Cole fan this song release had me in literal tears. Especially the respect Hobi gave to his mentor and idol to have that many bars. Cole harmonizing was my favorite part. Touches the depths of my heart. This collab was so special. It was top tier frfr.
This was the best introduction to Hobi👏👏👏 I can't wait to see his reaction to the albums/mixtapes and YESSSSS the harmonies!!!!!
Oh you giving us teaser song reactions now too?! Sleep you spoiling us 😹 can't wait for the reaction to Jack In The Box ~ 💜
Edit : Oh and to Varnell, just like you were in shock seeing J Cole we were too, to us we knew Cole was an inspiration musically to Hobi; as during his verse on BTS' song Hip Hop Phile he says "Hope, hope world, before I made my own world, Cole world" and Hope World later on being the title Hobi gave to his first mixtape (and first track on it,) so to us it was such a happy surprise that Cole wanted to collaborate with our Hobi 💜 ...sorry I just realised I was saying Hobi out of habit, we call J-Hope Hoseok or Hobi ^^;
It's so natural to use "Hobi", we don't even think about it. Varnell is going to have some studying to do: Yoongi/Suga/AgustD, Hoseok/J-Hope/Hobi, Namjoon/RM (Rap Monster), Taehyung/V.
Varnell's playlist getting longer😂💜 Great to see you back ! Thanks you Sleep!
J Cole is J-hope's biggest inspiration and this was his full circle moment. You could see he just gave the song away to J Cole to do his thing and the respect.
Also Jack in the Box is a beast album but the live version of the songs is on a whole other level! He performed them at Lollapalooza
it makes me so happy to see people being genuinely surprised and admiring BTS's artistry
Varnell's reaction does not disappoint! hehhehheh It added a little more to keep the feature a secret, great suggestion ARMY! Can't wait for him to experience the album, maybe show him the Hobipalooza concert at some point? Maybe after he's heard all the songs Hobi performs first. I love your explanation and description of the rap lines super powers/specialties. Thank you for another great reaction vid Sleep!
I know there’s the other version of this song that doesn’t include the J Cole feature, but this is THE song. Cole’s feature was so meaningful, what he was saying was just… so meaningful. I was so happy for J Hope that this happened. It really felt like some kind of destiny. The song was such a gift to music lovers, from both of them.
the thing is all three of them are different from each other and so is their album. you will always have different experiences while listening to them. i am so excited for your reaction for jack in the box and other solo and bts songs.
Varnell's reactions - facial expressions and showing his excitement / wonder/ amazement with his body is so much like our Hobi (Jhope). Varnell exudes full body joy and excitement like Hobi haha I have a feeling that Varnell will find Hobi to be a kindred spirit 😂 Just imagining him seeing Hobi dancing hiphop with the incredible Henry "Link" in the Hope On The Street Documentary will make him flip. Oh so much stuff to watch and enjoy! Thank you Sleep Deez sir for introducing your friend to our beloved Bangtan Sonyeondan. Thank you so much for being so proud of them, supporting them and sharing your insights about their incredible music discography. More power to you.
Jcole is jhope's muse.
His name: jhope --> jcole
One of his mixtape: hope world --> cole world
Imagine how huge this one is for hobi (thats how we call jhope). It's a full circle. How jcole send him his bars etc (we got the behind the scenes of the album and the song too, there is a documentary)
Thank you Sleep for showing this one to Varnell! Cant wait when he listens to JITB
We're so proud and happy for J-Hope. Cole has been his idol since the beginning as he mentioned in their 2014 track "Hip Hop Phile" where they talked about their early rap influences, both from Korea and the US. I'm so grateful to Jermaine for being so down-to-earth and respectful to our Hobi. On The Street was released before he enlisted to the military as a gift to ARMY so it kinda hits hard.
One thing for sure... Cole see something in j-hope that he likes and respect . As much as j-hope sees in Cole i think it's not hard to say Cole feel the same way towards j-hope. I know for sure j-hope is one true special artist himself.
i can't wait for u to hear his music cuz he made it himself and it's unique. His way of rapping and making bars is make himself so special.
Army already knew BTS was a dream team, but to witness people meeting them individually as soloist really and be in disbelief that they are in a group together cements the fact that BTS if full of aces. Truly the dream team! The comeback is going to be craaaazy!
One of the best comments from Varnell: “Hiphop don’t know J-Hope like they should”. True. So, so, so true bro. As it is for rest of the BTS rap line.
Personally, I don't watch reaction videos, but you guys are very educational, fun and genuine. And Jhope and Jcole's collab was a life changing experience. As Vernall said Jcole aint be doing 32 bars for anyone he won't like and that's where I cried. It's true. Jhope loves, admires Jcole so much and he deserved the collab. And maybe i am bawling right here cuz that's how BTS mean to me as well.
YEAH! Can't wait for his reaction to Jack in the Box. And hopefully J-Hope's dance documentary "Hope on the Street"
Not a single throwaway bar!! So true. I think this is my fav verse from him in a longggg time. Mad respect for JCole.
This was his 2nd best business decision. His first best decision was a couple months ago lmaoooooooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂
By the way back in 2013 right after J. Coles song "Born Sinner" came out BTS made a cover of the song with their own lyrics /stories and called it "Born Singer" to my understanding J.Cole got made aware of it at that time and was positive surpiesed that this group in SK did a cover right after the song was released...years went by and BTS performed the song 3 times once in 2015... Once again in 2017 during their wings tour final and than in 2022 thought not for a live audience (cause of covid) but in a filed live performance in a desert setting as part of their "Proof Live" Clip which was part of their promotion of their than released anthology Album called "Proof" they performed 3 songs in that live clip ( Born Singer, Yet to Come and For Youth) which are all part of the Album and yes for their Anthology album they got the special permission from J. Cole to release the song "Born Singer" officially!!! Also the first song they sing on the live clip is "born singer" so maybe that's an option for a reaction later on! Fun fact RM changed up his verse a little to fit his current age /situation more (so maybe reacting to the live performance from the "BTS begins Live tour from 2015 with sibtitles and than to the 2022 Version might be an interesting comparison...I am not sure if the live performance from 2022 has the lyircs trans in the subtitles but if not a fan uplaod propably has (thought I would check out the original source on bangtan TV first)
The 2022 live version has subtitles. That’s my favorite “For Youth” performance so I’ve watched it hundreds of times 😁💜
@@annettedixon5902 oh I see thank you! 💜It's been awhile since I last watched the performance...so I wasn't so sure anymore since the microkosmos performance from a concert that they uplaoded for one of the festa celebrations didnt have the lyirc translations sadly and only what the members said in between (I wanted to show that one to someone new to bts and it would have been sooo perfect if the lyircs too were on the video to follow along the performance) not long ago .. anyways time to watch that "proof live performance" again... 😁
6:20 Speaking of Olympic teams, Jin is carrying the olympic torch for the Paris Olympics this summer
🔮🙂
oh shit i caught this so early, i've been waiting for the next installment of varnell's journey and this was perfect!! i am SO glad you kept the feature a secret, his reaction had me reliving my own first time seeing the mv. i got goosebumps like it was my first time seeing it again and everything. and sleep sounds like me when i talk about jhope lol, like "oh so he's good at dancing, ok", "no no you don't get it, he's not just a dancer, he a DANCER dancer!!"
I like the way you roll. Using J-Cole as a surprise secret weapon. 💜
WHAT HOW DARE WHERE WHOLE ALBUM A;SLDFJASLFJADSKFDSA LOLOL AWESOME REACTION
It's filmed 😋 My day job got in the way of my new night job it seems. EDIT IS IN PROCESS.
@@SleepDeezomg YESSSSS I CAN'T WAITTT! Jack In The Box album was literally life changing for me. It inspired me to grow beyond the way my life and self had grown tiny during the COVID years. It has a special place in my heart.
@@SleepDeez Very cool, I was hoping he'd hear Jack in the Box+On the Street with J. Cole. Also let Varnell know that BTS released a remake of J. Cole's Born Sinner before they debuted. It's called Born Singer and it's now on their anthology album Proof. So they had him on their radar long before this feature!
I know it will be worth the wait! 💜
Omg, his first introduction into BTS as a complete group NEEDS to be Born Singer!!!
Something you have to understand about the algorithms is that BTS is put in this kpop category which makes a lot of people not get exposed to their music even when they collab with people like jcole. Next is that they get bare minimum when it comes to playlisting. Last is that when people try to share in rap communities like the r/hiphopheads reddit, people will either massively downvote or posts will be deleted simply because it's BTS and "kpop." Annoying af.
"One word like Cher" I LAUGHED SO HARD. This was great. Varnell's reaction was great to the feature. I knew he would lose it and he didn't disappoint. I can't wait to see his thoughts on Jack in the Box. It's especially interesting to listen to Jack in the Box after also listening to Hope World. These 7 young men are just, out of this world and Sleep, I'm so glad your videos popped up in my recommended. I'm looking forward to these. Much love Borahae! 💜
I can’t wait for him to discover vocal line.. like cause they really are SEVEN ACES! Each with their different flavor but together it somehow WORKS and WORKS well!
Cole called himself hyung (how korean guys call older friends, means older brother) on insta too which was so cute lol and also they keep in touch, hobi said Cole sent a message about military before he enlisted
Varnell's disappointment that he never heard of this was such a vibe. Like, me not sharing BTS with everybody would be like witholding joy from people 😤💜
Ahh yes. That moment where we all sat back and thought "Dang how did I miss all of this for so long?" It's a rite of passage for anyone discoveringn BTS. That disbelief? Yeah we've all been there. This feature warmed the hearts of ARMY across the world because we know how much J. Cole means to J-Hope. Even his name and first mixtape (Hope World) were inspired by Cole. Dude's his muse and childhood inspiration.
I think Cole might have seen the genuineness in J-Hope (we call him Hobi) when they met. He was such an excited fan in their moment when they first met and even with the language barrier, Hobi did his best to show his appreciation for his work as best as he could. Then months later he sent a message to Cole wishing him and his family a Happy New Year and well wishes for the year.
People often talk about how surprisingly sincere and warm Hobi is when you meet him in person. And when he puts features on his songs, he tends to give the feature a huge chunk of space for them to shine on the track. Sometimes you might feel like he and his features get about equal time. J. Cole was no different.
some people (guys usually) get upset when I say this but I’m not lying when I say I got into hiphop, street style, and even rap thanks to jhope. I even got to know Jcole because of Jhope and not the other way around, I didn’t know anything about Jcole before becoming an army. Jhope is my biggest idol in the world and I’ve developed a deep admiration for him as an artist and as a person, and to think that he made a song featuring HIS idol is just so heart touching. I can’t wait to watch the full episode, i’m so excited to hear his impressions of jhope’s discography
Jhope bridges the gap that exists between people around the world. When he gets out of the military, BTS will start their next Chapter. See! I am a 65 year old lady rap lover in Texas - and BTS has us being friends! You are an EPIC Army. Thank you
A full circle for Hobi! The overflowing of emotions when this was released because J.Cole has been Hobi's muse for such a long time!
The Bangtan Rapline trinity are like the governing bodies of BTS. RM the Executive, Suga the Legislative and JHope the Judiciary 😎
In terms of power, RM is the President, Jhope the Vice-President and Suga the Secretary General/ Treasurer😂
Did you not hear them? Suga is the musician, the producer, the one on a high level
@@Puck2323i mean if you really follow them… you’ll understand that Hobi is constantly judging, n Yoongi is always the one holding their money 😂 n we dont mess with Mr President RM. During practice and performance, no Bangtan can escape the eagle eyes of Captain Jung
On top of whistling, 32 crazy (and touching) bars, and harmonizing, J Cole was also kind enough to shoot the MV with our precious J Hope. And "J Hope. Cole World" which led to Hope World
“Why I didn’t know about this?” That’s the thing, the industry loves to keep categorizing BTS as strictly K-pop and younger audiences when they are so much more than that, they love to limit their audience and minimize them, therefore they keep getting stuck with one public, I’m so thankful for you Sleep and introducing the rap line to actual hip hop lovers
J-HOOOOOOOOOPE! I think he'd wig out if he watched Hobipalooza! 😁
I can't wait for more!
I am loving this!
this is definitely the right way to introduce varnell to j-hope. i cant wait for him to listen to jack in the box!!! when jack in the box came out, it blew my mind!!!! it was a whole new side to j-hope!
Jhope’s version of In My Feelings is even featured at the end of Drake’s MV!
Varnell seems like a fun person to hang around with. I like him 💜
10:05 ayyyyy that’s me🙈🙏🏻💜
Immortalized 😂 you famous 💜
@@SleepDeezand a reply?? Letsssss goooo!! 😂
are you gonna show him the song with Becky G as well?? (I’m not saying the title cuz he might be lurking here somewhere in the comments👀)
The ARMY and the suggestions been killing me…oops I did it again, “ARMY” 🤦🏾♂️😅
I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS I KEPT COMIGN BACK ALL WEEK!!!!
Hobi (JHope) has three album projects out now. Hope World, Jack in the Box, and Hope On The Street (which is an OST for his docuseries of the same name). The wild thing about Hobi is that he never wrapped before he joined the BTS group as a trainee. He learned it all on the fly on the backbone of his dancing. Side note: his father teaches literature in high school so Hobi may have gotten an appreciation for poetry from him. Maybe.
As a veteran army my heart is swelling with pride 😭 I can’t wait for his reaction to J-Hopes album
I’m so happy you’re going this route to showcase our hobi. I love how he lets J Cole shine on this track, not many artists would feel comfortable allowing a featured artist to “take the spotlight” as it were, but not just hope. Boracity said it best, when artists feature on BTS tracks, it’s like they become part of BTS for that track. I love it, can’t wait for Varnell to be blown away by Jack In the Box
Thank you. Thank You. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you loving my BTS.
BUT, I LOVE YOU appreciating the underappreciated RapLine. Borahae 💜💜💜
Jhope is such an incredible talent. I’m so glad you guys are enjoying your BTS journey. 💜
I'm really glad Varnell understands what's going on in this song him describing J.Cole with a collab he gets it, J- Hope has tremendous admiration and respect for J.Cole and his feature of J.Cole is 32 bars. There's a lot of artists out there that wouldn't give that many lines in a feature as well as J.Cole gave him that much. I remember seeing a few youtube reactions to this song although I think most were okay or positive there were a few that were like "J.Cole smoked that guy" or "he killed it but that other guy didn't do anything really" etc like I get the competitiveness in hip hop but if you know anything about either of these artists you'd know that's not the case here and not everyone is about competing with the person they invite onto a song. This is a matter of respect and getting to work with your idol someone you've admired since you were young. We got to see him meeting Cole on his documentary "J-Hope in the Box" all about preparing his album and performance at Lollapalooza.
Looking forward to Jack in the box! The Lolapalooza show he did is amazing.
It's not only about talent, it's about sincerity towards music. If you really love something, you have to be real towards it. To have 7 talented people staying real to their music for 11 years... it's not something that i witness oftnen lately.
I'm sorry english is not my first language so i can't explain myself better.
Thank you Sleep for this reaction i'm learning a lot.💜And Thanks for introducing Varnell to us, he seems a real one too. I will take a look at his work for sure. ☺
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers indeed! Jin, the eldest member, just got home from the military and will be the Olympic torch bearer for South Korea! They’re amazing and it’s awesome to hear both your take on their talent! Welcome to ARMY
j-hope gave birth to that beat and whistling. j.cole saw how j-hope is truly authentic with his music. j-hope is the one that can do it all. From writing his music, producing and conceptualising. Watch his stage. He is the most powerful there. j-hope’s musicality, lyricism is under appreciated by many. The fact that j-hope can switch flows unique to his own shows how extremely talented he is.
You have no idea how exited i was to see your reactions to the guys. So genuine, fun and formative at the same time. I 💖 it!!!!
We waiting for that JACK IN THE BOXXXXXX (we love your reaction)
This reaction brightened my day. Varnell reacting to JHope dancing with a big smile and then his excitement and respect when JCole came into play. 💜
it is precisely when j-hope dances (on Vlives for ARMY, on Hope On The Street) where you can see his rap influences, the music he dances to, the music he draws his inspiration from. To me he's a CLASSIC hip-hop artist.
