I've seen a few people say "Namjoon analyzes the world, Yoongi criticizes the world and Hoseok visualizes the world" and I think it's a decent way of roughly explaining their points of view in their wonderfully written music
I legitimately feel like I've just gone to therapy. Every episode with you is so insightful. You're a major stand out within the reaction community. You don't stick to just surface reactions and it's so refreshing. Thank you for being you. Love and Peace
I honestly think RM is one of the best lyricists in the music industry, this song included. I also recommend life, awakening, persona, and joke all by namjoon (rm)
Honestly I think no one can beat Namjoon's metaphors in entire Kpop. Nowadays there are lot of these so called idols who write their own songs. But when it comes to deep lyricism no one comes close to him.
@@ayushj6216 right? I think a lot of ppl need to realize he’s a better lyricist then most not just in kpop but also the rest of the world, he has a 148 IQ for a reason
RM is a poet. You can not change my mind. His lyricism reads, sounds and works like poetry: a few words have multiple meanings and derivate in multiple chains of thought. Every time you listen to them, you discover new details, new ideas, new insights. Even when he's being straightforward, there's still some some philosophy or revelation or a big question or an aesthetic behind them. A poem is full of passion, but every word is chosen carefully, with intention. They're puzzle pieces, every piece has a place to create the full picture. It's a form of ART. WORDS WITH INTENTION. SUGA's lyricism is like "an arrow straight to the heart": you immediately understand the emotion he's trying to convey, you don't need to even know what he's saying to know "what you're supposed to FEEL". What he says is always interesting too, and it has layers too, but, from the first listen... You usually feel that same way after listening to his song 1000 times. Even when the song is sociopolitical or when it displays an idea, your first impression is a STAB OF EMOTION forever tattooed in your memory. J HOPE's lyricism is like a playground, an amusement park. A place where magical things happen, where you are encouraged to bend the rules. It's full of bright primal colors, you walk around with bounce in your steps and inevitably feel the childlike impulse of starting to dance around, or start imitating his onomatopoeias and alibis. There's a quirky creativity in his choice of analogies and a pure-hearted kindness in his message. Even when he expresses anger or sadness, there's this sense of DYNAMIC RHYTHM that is always moving, always unpredictable and ALIVE. EDIT: Some examples to illustrate my description: RM: - "From the time everyone is born / Life is more beautiful because it uses death as the collateral payment." (Life) - "I grew a flower that can't be bloomed / In a dream that can't come true." (FAKE LOVE) - "Why do you keep trying to hide under your mask, / when even the scars made by your own mistakes mark your constellations." (Answer: Love Myself.) SUGA: - "If you think you’re gonna crash, accelerate even harder, you idiot" (Intro: Nevermind) - "Hip hop came to me gently / Like a little child looks for his mother, / it naturally permeated into my life (...) If loving this culture was a sin, I would have died hundreds of times." (Hip Hop Phile) - "To be honest, I miss you, / but I’ll erase you now / Because doing so hurts me less than resenting(blaming) you" (Spring Day) J HOPE: - "The standard of happiness is you, and you walk that path / I wish to fill up faith / Like a piece of cake that is simple and filling (...) I wish, I could be a Piece Of Peace." (P.O.P) - "Oh, I’m on top of the beat beat, wiggle wiggling, jingle jingling / roll rolling, beagle beagling (...) This is just for tasting, still a snack / My rap is a Korean meal that fills your stomach." (Cypher pt. 3) - "My sin, the dog that bites and tears my resting self / “Don’t do that,” although I shout it out, every day I’m hung up on accomplishments." (Dis-ease) - "It’s just that for once I want to draw a different picture of my life / A canvas dream // Beyond the boundary over there, let’s feel it / Like the hole Alice fell into, like the path leading to Hogwarts, it’ll be a world of mirages" (Daydream)
This song was just an answer back to everyone who said rm wasn't "good-looking" enough(yes clearly they had a sight impediment) to be an idol and when he made the switch from rapper to idol, people also said he abandoned hip-hop. Meaning regular rappers were upset and regular idol stans. One particular "sun-bae" called him and suga girls for wearing makeup and essentially they are girls for doing the whole idol thing and mocking them.(B-free is his name) He addressed some things he said, in this song which is why you heard him speak about "shirt and skinny jeans, that's not hiphop" referencing to the mockery they received from him.
LOL about the sight-impediment, indeed, he caught my eye since he was 19 already :_) (too young for me but I found him the most handsome in the group, those lips and hidden eyes lol)
South Koreans are crazy to restrict themselves to such a narrow definition of beauty. It's so sad to me how many of them feel the need to go under the knife just to meet that ridiculous standard when they are already beautiful. I'm glad RM is helping redefine those standards.
@@IThink2Much With a handful of hip-hop singers who mock and criticize BTS' music, don't tell me that all Koreans think so It’s a very stupid idea and it’s rude. Most hip-hop singers and Koreans respect and support BTS's musicality Your comments are rude, no different from those who mock and criticize bts.
YES RM is an incredible lyricist. Everything RM just says has impact and his IQ of 148 allows him to get things across so clearly. I feel one of the reasons why BTS is so loved and respected it's because they have always been themselves, they have always stayed grounded. The boys who started in 2014 are the same men we see now. They are the biggest act in the world right now but they are still goofy, they are humble they are just themselves.
June 13, 2013 was their initial debut and their anniversary Will be coming up very soon it will be eight years that they have been together as they debuted but they have been together before that date some as far as 2009 and 2010 that’s when Suga and RM first got to know each other pre-debut days! Yes, they have evolved from their debut days they still are humble kind and caring seven young men they have not changed their attitude is still positive and they always love and recognize ARMY no matter how many awards they win they still have that pure heart and they still have that passion and hunger to continue to make music the way they like to!💜
@@laurahilliker5336 I know I realized after that I wrote 2014 instead of 2013. You are absolutely right everyone evolves and so does BTS. Pure and Passionate great words to express BTS
Even when RM speaks to something, you can clearly see how smart and articulate he is. And I'm thankful that he could transcend that to his songs. And that's on point.
please linton PLEASE, when i ask you to continue being your authentic self and having this channel as it is, i mean it 🥺 your channel is the best when it comes to reacting and analyzing. i feel like i’m in therapy every time i watch your videos and it helps me a whole lot. i love you and your videos, so continue doing what you’re doing 🙏🏽
Please check out RM’s “Joke” next! For the official music video there are no subs, they are automatically generated so I advice you check out a lyrics video first and then the mv because that song is literally genius!! As the title says it’s a “joke” he pretty much makes fun of all those people who call themselves rappers just because they can talk fast but in the end they’re not really saying anything. That’s the reason why there are some sentences in the song that “don’t make sense” (like the bibidi bobidi one). But at the same time he’s proving that he is still a rapper even though he left the “underground world” to become an idol. That’s what the song is about I bet you’ll love it!!
Thanks for the video! Here some info about RM: Namjoon started as an underground rapper when he was 13 and gained fame bc of his skills, all of the songs we have of him from his time as Runch Randa, Randa, The Nexiest and Largo survived only because of reposters. He deleted all his songs around 2010, when BPB was created. He left the underground scene and Joined a music company, after that he received a lot of hate for "betraying hip hop" and that later on ended up being the reason of his identity crisis (kpop idol vs rapper/artist) and one of the main themes of his first mixtape. He's is the leader, Main rapper, songwriter, composer, and producer of BTS. He has two mixtapes, the first one is *RM* (2015) contains 11 songs including a ft with Krizz Kaliko, this mixtape is about/by the one that left underground hip hop scene (Runch randa) and joined a kpop group (Rap Monster) Its pure hip hop, insane flows, a lot of aggression and confusion but realization at the same time The second one is *mono* (2018) It contains 7 songs, it's a mix of genres, It’s atmospheric, reflective and pure art btw Mono goes into more detail of Namjoon as a person, having loneliness as main theme Also he had collab with Wale, Fall Out Boy, Warren G, Little Nas X, Honne, the korean hip hop legends Tiger JK and MFBTY, and more He's known for his extensive use of wordplay, with double/ triple entendres, ambiguous meanings, references and metaphors
RM songs that have interesting lyrics: - RM mixtape: Voice, Life. - MONO: Seoul, Moonchild, UhGood. Collabs: Strange (Agust D ft. RM), Change (Wale x RM), Gajah (Gaeko ft. RM).
Love your reactions! you can tell you’re well read and constantly open to learning and growing - just like RM. I think you’re really going to appreciate your deep dives into all of BTS works. RM has such a huge hand at a ton of the lyrics.
you should react to TEAR by bts’ rapline: j-hope, suga, and rm. suga said he wrote this song for when bts thought of disbanding in 2018 and that when he played it for the other boys in the studio one day, they all cried together. super emotional song with heart wrenching lyrics. you have to react to it
I've just discovered you today by watching RM's "Joke" and now here, I have to say, thank you. It's so refreshing to see someone like you with your reactions and genuine real life messages. Bless up!
RM actually has a more recent mixtape thats really good as well and shows the growth from him (I think this is 2014?) to when he released the second in 2018. He also has an album intro called Persona thats really good, the intro to the boy with luv album
A sunbae is your senior, but it doesnt have to do with age. A group that debuted after BTS f ex will call them their sunbaes, even if Junkook is younger than someone in the new group.. And BTS calls everyone who was in the industry before them their sunbaes. 😊 Fyi, I think you'll enjoy the Rolling Stone interview with BTS that came out today! (also, regarding honorifics, a younger boy uses "hyung" for an older boy he is close with. Donsaeng is a term used for someone younger than you, but they dont really use honorifics when adressing someone younger or someone who is the same age. A same age friend is called "chingu". Jimin and Tae are same age friends, and they even have a song together called Chingu in korean (Friends in English). Also younger girls call older boys oppa, younger boys call older girls noona, and younger girls call older girls unnie. But this was perhaps info you already knew 😅😅)
sunbae basically means senior so people who are "ranked" higher than you and or started their career before you like Stray Kids would call BTS sunbae, and BTS would call SHINee and Taemin sunbae generally its a respectful term but in the context and tone that rm is rapping in at 7:50 I would say he is talking about the "old heads" that try to control the music scene even as it evolves just like how older people in America will say "___ isnt a rapper/singer" or "how can you call this music" i think he is trying to say to those who started before him to suck it up and just realize music changes and they cant control it, that he is different and people like him so they should deal with it in one single sentence that often gets ignored by most reactors (not out of ignorance but because RM raps too fast for most to read) he comments a key factor in every music genre and industry around the globe... old people trying to control the market that the larger and younger generations consume despite their lack in similarity in music
I'm now finding BTS reactors that go deeper into their music and I'm glad I clicked your videos. I really appreciate it, because it shows how you respect them as an artist. Just finished subscribing keep doing great content.
I truly hope you go through the entire "RM" mixtape and after words i HIGHLY recommend doing a binge of the entire "mono playlist" mixtape that Namjoon did if the "RM" mixtape is RM/Rap Monster then "Mono" is Kim Nam Joon both show completely different sides of him almost like his persona vs him with the RM mixtape I recommend the track "Monster" for no other reason than it is my favorite track for the Mono playlist i mean this whole heartedly... you need to listen to it in one sitting... i say this because there is a underlying connection between the songs and their emotions that is hard to connect unless you watch/listen/read in order at once czcams.com/play/PLZOBddd28uf2e9yQTWKGN81bsAqwGRkX3.html ^^^ the link above is a playlist i made that has all the tracks on the Mono Playlist and the select videos that have MVs in track order on the mixtape
you're literally my favourite when it comes to reacting to bts songs. i love how you interpret it deeply with the knowledge you have and sometimes how you interpret lyrics or videos are the same as how i interpret it. i really love how you genuinely appreciate their music, and you put your own mind into it. just like what you said, you're just being yourself and thats how you attract people to watch your videos and thats true because i genuinely love watching your vids because of the way you are. mad respect for you , keep it up bro
Ugh, I absolutely adore and appreciate Linton. Unlike any other reactors out there he genuinely takes the time to not only react to the visual and beat of the music, he also takes the time to pick apart the lyrics and meanings behind it. Not a lot of reactors do that, so I’m extremely mind blown right now by how he’s intelligently picking up this masterpiece of a song. Thanks Linton 💜💜
Do you is one of my top ten RM songs, the beat is just so catchy. Seeing as you're switching to this, I"m thinking you'll do a reaction to Joke soon and I really hope you're able to find a good translation because that song is just....yeah.....a tip, look for taehyung af translation, they have notes on the pinned comments
Oh gosh only 70 views!? In 6 minutes. By the way I love how open you are to different cultures and music ect. Many of my friends, think nothing about K-pop and aren’t that open about it and are stereotyping. But it’s really nice to see people fully respecting it even if they are nit fans or aren’t part of the industry ect.
If you really want to get to know RM I would definitely recommend checking out his mixtape, MONO. Also, his song "Joke". Thank you for your genuine reaction and commentary! :) *Also, just to let you know, he has actually stopped using the name "Rap Monster." He still goes by RM sometimes (he has changed the meaning to "Real Me" instead of "Rap Monster"), but he mostly goes by his real name, "Namjoon", now.
The way that he explains the logic, the thinking manner, the "identity" of the lyrics and video is honestly so insane. He explains everything perfectly and is very open about how he analyzes the lyrics and the music video, it's eye-opening because you would never really see how much a music video that's less then 3 minutes can tell you so much. I would have never thought to see the deeper meaning behind this and many other music videos without him.
I recommend you react to RM change, I believe,life,monster,moonchild,God rap, adrift or drifting and champion all so underrated but absolute masterpieces in my book.
Do you is one of the songs that i listen daily to remind me about my goals. I also love the simplicity of the instruments but the intricacy of his message and words. Btw I like how you have your own message and how you analyze, you're actually very spot on when you analyze lyrics and messages of songs. One of the reason i am love BTS most especially the rap line is their earnestness and their conviction. They know what they want to say and they say it. This song was a fu to people who say that idol music is not music, even in Korean society, being an idol is very constrictive, there is an image of being manufactured, and there is a box that they put them in. You can do this but no more. And they are also criticize as being not manly enough, too pretty, effiminate. And as an ex underground rapper, Suga and RM got criticize a lot, people call them as sell outs, as girls (because they wear make up) etc.
Watching your reactions has been the best decision of the week. I’ve recently felt the need to discover myself and see those kinds of analysis and I can’t put it into words exactly but hearing your genuine open minded reactions and explanations that I agree with and help me understand more why I like what I like make me happy. It’s so great discovering hidden meanings to those lyrics that I liked for years but wasn’t as interested in truly connecting to them until now. Thank you.
I have to be honest, since the RM mixtape isnt on spotify, it hasnt gotten the love it deserves from me 🙈 his second mixtape Mono i listen to a looot tho, especially when im feeling blue. I think you should check out Reflection off the wings album, Intro: Persona (has an mv), and Forever Rain (has an mv). But a lot of RMs lyrics shine through in almost all bts songs, as he writes so much of them, also the vocal line parts. Some of his best work for me is Spring Day, Black Swan, and Singularity (Tae's solo) but he basically has a hand in almost all BTS songs. He's a lyrical genius. In fact he is the third most credited writer in KOMCA (Korean Music Copyright Association) with 171 songs as of the end of 2020, tying with PSY. And he is only 26 years old. 👀 Im so excited that I'll get to follow his career for years to come!
Thank you for doing this in your own way. Taking your time and doing it the way YOU want to. It’s refreshing. And the way you break down the lyrics, I feel like you really understand him! Gives me more to think about too, which is a rare thing I see from reaction videos. Also I love this song (I love all of them I can’t help it lol)..I am always in awe of Joon’s galaxy brain, he has this incredible ability to play with words. And I agree, he and Yoongi are very alike in these ideas on their solo stuff (which bleeds into the group concepts too and I love that as well). Before BTS, I had never come across words by an artist that I wanted to live by. I didn’t feel much relatable. Now I feel like everything they say about life is an important lesson that can be applied to someone at some point of their lives in someway. Truly incredible. Thank you again, love this!!
Because of this, I've subscribed. Thanks for this review! I've always loved this song and you just made it clear for everyone else. This is exactly what it is! I hope more people see this review.
Hearing what you say, i remembered a line from our sunshine ,J-hope in Dear Class 2020, "You are the leader of your own life," .I agree with what you were saying :) thanks linton wilson .Hope your days full of happiness and blessed,continue with the good reactions.
Omg you gotta react to "the truth untold" and "singularity"... I love you could really get into the lyrics and understand the deeper meaning behind it all. I love your reactions! Keep it up!
well the reaction apart what you said until minute 6:30 just hit me deep. wow you have such a great knowledge. truly captivated by what you said. We need to listen more of this. thank you
I love your reaction to RM's video Do You. I appreciate your insight on his beautiful and complex lyrics. He is definitely my ultimate bias. You might check out Change (RM and Wale), Joke, and some of his songs from his mixtape. Have a wonderful evening.🙂💜
With what you said about the black roses, for a really long time people were telling RM to leave the group and that he was too ugly, couldn't dance, wasn't talented and crap like that. It could have something to do with that, saying that he's not going anywhere of smth
RM is a fire lyrcist. Thats RM's IQ148 for ya. Also this man was in the top 1% of Korea when he was in high school. The only thing that sucks is translation from Korean to English can never be accurate which takes away the beauty of the actual lyrics. I recommend using doolset for the most accurate translation. Wale once said that if RM was an American rapper that he would be at the top.
You should react to Change! It features Wale and although it was released 4 years ago, the themes and lyrics of the song that both RM and Wale say fit very well to all the events and conflicts in the world now
I fking wish the world has more people like you Linton, just people who would of BTS's member's solo work. Please I am dying to watch you react to Joke by RM too!!!!!!
I honestly love your reaction so so much, you go into depth with the lyrics and your truly talk about it. Most reactors just watch it and that it. I really love how you do things differently
This is my first time seeing your reaction and I have really enjoyed it, I loved it how you really paid attention to detail and the lyrics as well.Yes, RM is truly remarkable when it comes to his lyrics and the message behind them👏🏾 I look forward to keep watching your reactions ✌🏾Thank you
This young man is a true poet, heart and mind. It's not what he does it's who he is. He and his art are 100% genuine reflections of who he couldn't possibly pretend to be. Much respect for each of the 7 but there is a special place in my heart for this young man. Namjoon is one of a kind. The world is lucky to have him. ❤
I'd like to think that the clip where they burned those black roses is him/the producer's way on saying "You think I'm leaving? Fuk you I'm staying and I ain't goin no where." Holy knicketty frick frack I just realized There's this phenomeneon where if you put a metronome on a plank with a log underneath (so basically the plank can still move) even if you start the metronome at different times, after a few seconds/minutes, it will start syncing with eachother and this really shows the "herd" mentality of how everybody starts with differing personalities, interests or opinions but ending up conforming to these copies of one another that's they deem "normal" to fit in or for the sake of stability. The constant theme of the metronome through out the video, even as the main beat of the song is definetly something. Honestly shout out to everybody working on this music video
I keep saying this but I’m gonna say this again, Namjoon has such a beautiful way with words and looking at things, idk where he got it from, whether if it’s the books that he reads, or just life experience but it’s so amazing the way he perceive things in life. I for one find it fascinating. His words bring so much comfort, questioning and understanding all at once. For example there was this video I once saw where he said “people say to “dream big” but I think you don’t have to live so fiercely” (that might not be exactly what it said what it’s what I remember). When he said that you just might think about life and you reflect on it and you just might take to consideration on the things he says. Another example is in a run ep where they were writing poems/letters to each other, he literally took a words with a basic meaning, with its basic state and gave it a whole new feeling and meaning. He brought the word to life. You can call me crazy or say I’m over reacting all you want, but it won’t stop this from being true. Namjoon’s words are not only fascinating but how do I explain this, captivating if I can use that word. That once you really listen to what he says and how he looks at the world you just don’t want to stop listening.I’m not only saying this because I’m an army or anything, he really is such a wise soul and every-time he speaks about something I can’t help but listen to it.
I feel like i stumbled upon your video is meant to be, ur energy is high and it’s uplift mine too. it’s nice watching you talk genuinely, keep doing u!
I really enjoy you giving out your perspective on their lyricism. Songs from the rap line in general tend to be so thought provoking and engaging, it's so interesting. I'd really be interested in you reviewing their newer mixtapes since they changed their sound and perspectives on things a lot. Especially RM's mono. is a stark contrast to his first mixtape. I would love to hear your opinion on this!!
I'm always in awe of Joon's intelligence and even more for those who are able to interpret them! Nice work!! This was definitely a time he was going through some hardships, Joon and Suga were publicly ridiculed and humiliated infront of their rapper sunbaes (seniors) who mocked them for becoming 'kpop idol rappers'. They believe Joon and Suga wasted their talent on becoming idols, K-pop idols are just considered puppets in the industry who have no musical influence and just follow company orders.
I am genuinely excited for you to listen to the mono album. listening to RM'S music starting from Do You through to his latest solo work is like listening to his growth as a human being. So beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
i absolutely love how you express your thoughts bc sometimes it makes me see another perspective, plus i don't know if people told you, but you're really good with words. keep going! what i like about bts and their lyrics (both group and solo) is how deep they are in terms of: i can read them many times and each time i read i find a new thing to explain for myself and a new maybe hidden or double meaning and it's like diving into a huge and most interesting book that you just keep and keep exploring. sometimes they express the exact feelings i had but couldn't articulate and then they release a song and i'm like "yeah, exactly, god bless i'm not the only one who thought of this and felt like that"
Sunbaes here are the people who used to be with him doing Underground hip hop.....they criticised(bashed tbh) Rm and Suga for "leaving" hip hop for being an idol.....RM had a identity crisis due to this but later he accepted being an idol/artist!! He is truly someone to look up to!!
I am so excited for you to delve deeper into MONO (mixtape) by RM... 😭 This masterpiece helped me a lot during my recovery from depression. My absolute favorite is "everything goes" and "Mono" and "bad bye" and "Moonchild" and----all the tracks 😭😭there's no skip😭😭 the whole mixtape embraced me. If ever you decided to react to the mixtape PLEASE react to it in chronological order.
Sunbae explained shorty is someone who has the same occupation/ profession as you, but they joined before you, so they've been there longer than you. The same goes for school too. it's basically an "upperclassman" both in school and a profession, but can be used for both boys and girls.
I subscribed just because you said you don't feel like watching a guide right now. Beautiful. Get to know them straight from the source, BTS tells you everything you need to know. A guide might be fun later, when you've gotten more of a feel for them, when your opinion of them is more formed.
I like how linton analyzes RM's lyrics with so much wisdom and maturity. Some reaction channels lack in that department when reacting to songs. I appreciate it very much. 💜💜💜
I’m loving how you took your time! You don’t really /have/ to watch intoductiom videos. Watching those too early could plant unnecessary assumptions imo. Armys are sometimes (most of the time I feel like) got way too excited to show off bts, but pacing yourself and forming your own opinion is better than cramming tonnes of information. Just keep in mind the years the music was released and maybe get some context via google or later via the comments. Also loving your commentary and talks about life and shit! You have such a chill view of life that vibes with me, so keep doing what you’re doing!
quick note: RM now goes by (Real Me) rather than (Rap Monster) he said that he outgrew that name, but the some of the members still jokingly or mistakenly call him that lol also Sunbae=senpai=senior, someone who's been in the industry longer that him or debuted before him, I think he's referring to Bfree, a trash "rapper" who publicly disrespected him and suga on a radio, he said that what BTS does is not hip-hop, because BTS in their early days were more hip-hop focused group back then, and also because they wear make up 🤡 and loads of other distrustful sh*t basically criticizing RM and Suga leaving the "underground" hip-hop scene and debuting in a Kpop group.. and about the flower, rather than leaving id say that since the whole video in black&white or whatever, the flowers are not necessarily black but the emphasis was on "Burning roses"..
Thanks for appreciating Namjoon's lyricism. He's really one of the most talented lyricists of a generation. I'd first rec: uhgood from RM's mono. (actually all of mono is amazing) but be careful because some of the lyric vids have very poor translations Also, definitely Joke from RM. Joke has some of the most intricate wordplay Namjoon's done. You really need to be fluent in English and Korean culturally and linguistically to fully appreciate his lyrics. Good translators a gift. BTS' cyphers 1-4 are great, too, to get a sense of each of BTS's rappers. They span over years and albums and you can just see the growth as you watch them. I'd suggest doing all four back to back. UGH, DDAENG, and Baepsae are all worth looking at, too. However! All three of these really do need to watched in tandem with their 'explained by a Korean' counterpart or looking at doolsetbangtan's lyric translation because most lyric vids skip over much of the cultural context and you end up missing how impressive the wordplay is.
RMS lyricism is absolutely insane...

I totally agree. I learn not only about music but also inner me.
didn't expect to genuinenly enjoy these videos but, i am!
I honestly think RM is one of the best lyricists in the music industry, this song included. I also recommend life, awakening, persona, and joke all by namjoon (rm)
Honestly I think no one can beat Namjoon's metaphors in entire Kpop. Nowadays there are lot of these so called idols who write their own songs. But when it comes to deep lyricism no one comes close to him.
@@ayushj6216 right? I think a lot of ppl need to realize he’s a better lyricist then most not just in kpop but also the rest of the world, he has a 148 IQ for a reason
So true 👍
I've been bias wrecked 😭
his lyrics are so goooooooodddd
@@ayushj6216 Indeed, but not only metaphors, how he uses both languages KR and EN to intertwine the cadences and rhymes too. :_)
RM is a poet. You can not change my mind.
His lyricism reads, sounds and works like poetry: a few words have multiple meanings and derivate in multiple chains of thought. Every time you listen to them, you discover new details, new ideas, new insights. Even when he's being straightforward, there's still some some philosophy or revelation or a big question or an aesthetic behind them. A poem is full of passion, but every word is chosen carefully, with intention. They're puzzle pieces, every piece has a place to create the full picture. It's a form of ART. WORDS WITH INTENTION.
SUGA's lyricism is like "an arrow straight to the heart": you immediately understand the emotion he's trying to convey, you don't need to even know what he's saying to know "what you're supposed to FEEL". What he says is always interesting too, and it has layers too, but, from the first listen... You usually feel that same way after listening to his song 1000 times. Even when the song is sociopolitical or when it displays an idea, your first impression is a STAB OF EMOTION forever tattooed in your memory.
J HOPE's lyricism is like a playground, an amusement park. A place where magical things happen, where you are encouraged to bend the rules. It's full of bright primal colors, you walk around with bounce in your steps and inevitably feel the childlike impulse of starting to dance around, or start imitating his onomatopoeias and alibis. There's a quirky creativity in his choice of analogies and a pure-hearted kindness in his message. Even when he expresses anger or sadness, there's this sense of DYNAMIC RHYTHM that is always moving, always unpredictable and ALIVE.
EDIT: Some examples to illustrate my description:
RM:
- "From the time everyone is born / Life is more beautiful because it uses death as the collateral payment." (Life)
- "I grew a flower that can't be bloomed / In a dream that can't come true." (FAKE LOVE)
- "Why do you keep trying to hide under your mask, / when even the scars made by your own mistakes mark your constellations." (Answer: Love Myself.)
SUGA:
- "If you think you’re gonna crash, accelerate even harder, you idiot" (Intro: Nevermind)
- "Hip hop came to me gently / Like a little child looks for his mother, / it naturally permeated into my life (...) If loving this culture was a sin, I would have died hundreds of times." (Hip Hop Phile)
- "To be honest, I miss you, / but I’ll erase you now / Because doing so hurts me less than resenting(blaming) you" (Spring Day)
J HOPE:
- "The standard of happiness is you, and you walk that path / I wish to fill up faith / Like a piece of cake that is simple and filling (...) I wish, I could be a Piece Of Peace." (P.O.P)
- "Oh, I’m on top of the beat beat, wiggle wiggling, jingle jingling / roll rolling, beagle beagling (...) This is just for tasting, still a snack / My rap is a Korean meal that fills your stomach." (Cypher pt. 3)
- "My sin, the dog that bites and tears my resting self / “Don’t do that,” although I shout it out, every day I’m hung up on accomplishments." (Dis-ease)
- "It’s just that for once I want to draw a different picture of my life / A canvas dream // Beyond the boundary over there, let’s feel it / Like the hole Alice fell into, like the path leading to Hogwarts, it’ll be a world of mirages" (Daydream)

👏👏👏👏Well said
This is a brilliant assessment. It captures what I've been feeling in such an articulate way. Thank you!
Perfectly said! Wow!
I've never thought about the rap line's music that way and I'm so happy that you did. Thank you. Cheers. 👏👏👏✌
beautiful
This song was just an answer back to everyone who said rm wasn't "good-looking" enough(yes clearly they had a sight impediment) to be an idol and when he made the switch from rapper to idol, people also said he abandoned hip-hop. Meaning regular rappers were upset and regular idol stans. One particular "sun-bae" called him and suga girls for wearing makeup and essentially they are girls for doing the whole idol thing and mocking them.(B-free is his name) He addressed some things he said, in this song which is why you heard him speak about "shirt and skinny jeans, that's not hiphop" referencing to the mockery they received from him.
LOL about the sight-impediment, indeed, he caught my eye since he was 19 already :_) (too young for me but I found him the most handsome in the group, those lips and hidden eyes lol)
He might not meet korean standards but he's internationally FINE!
South Koreans are crazy to restrict themselves to such a narrow definition of beauty. It's so sad to me how many of them feel the need to go under the knife just to meet that ridiculous standard when they are already beautiful. I'm glad RM is helping redefine those standards.
@@IThink2Much
With a handful of hip-hop singers who mock and criticize BTS' music, don't tell me that all Koreans think so
It’s a very stupid idea and it’s rude.
Most hip-hop singers and Koreans respect and support BTS's musicality
Your comments are rude, no different from those who mock and criticize bts.
@@ushdbrr1293 Hell...they're resetting what the world perceives to be beautiful.
YES RM is an incredible lyricist. Everything RM just says has impact and his IQ of 148 allows him to get things across so clearly. I feel one of the reasons why BTS is so loved and respected it's because they have always been themselves, they have always stayed grounded. The boys who started in 2014 are the same men we see now. They are the biggest act in the world right now but they are still goofy, they are humble they are just themselves.
June 13, 2013 was their initial debut and their anniversary Will be coming up very soon it will be eight years that they have been together as they debuted but they have been together before that date some as far as 2009 and 2010 that’s when Suga and RM first got to know each other pre-debut days! Yes, they have evolved from their debut days they still are humble kind and caring seven young men they have not changed their attitude is still positive and they always love and recognize ARMY no matter how many awards they win they still have that pure heart and they still have that passion and hunger to continue to make music the way they like to!💜
@@laurahilliker5336 I know I realized after that I wrote 2014 instead of 2013. You are absolutely right everyone evolves and so does BTS. Pure and Passionate great words to express BTS
Even when RM speaks to something, you can clearly see how smart and articulate he is. And I'm thankful that he could transcend that to his songs. And that's on point.
This ain't a reaction, this is a podcast.. and i am loving this 👏👏
please linton PLEASE, when i ask you to continue being your authentic self and having this channel as it is, i mean it 🥺 your channel is the best when it comes to reacting and analyzing. i feel like i’m in therapy every time i watch your videos and it helps me a whole lot. i love you and your videos, so continue doing what you’re doing 🙏🏽
Please check out RM’s “Joke” next! For the official music video there are no subs, they are automatically generated so I advice you check out a lyrics video first and then the mv because that song is literally genius!! As the title says it’s a “joke” he pretty much makes fun of all those people who call themselves rappers just because they can talk fast but in the end they’re not really saying anything. That’s the reason why there are some sentences in the song that “don’t make sense” (like the bibidi bobidi one). But at the same time he’s proving that he is still a rapper even though he left the “underground world” to become an idol. That’s what the song is about I bet you’ll love it!!
I could see you and RM having deep discussions. Very impressive.
Oh yeah, he has that type of Voice/presence (idk what to call it) when he talk, you have to listen careful like what I feel when Rm's speaking.
Thanks for the video!
Here some info about RM:
Namjoon started as an underground rapper when he was 13 and gained fame bc of his skills, all of the songs we have of him from his time as Runch Randa, Randa, The Nexiest and Largo survived only because of reposters. He deleted all his songs around 2010, when BPB was created. He left the underground scene and Joined a music company, after that he received a lot of hate for "betraying hip hop" and that later on ended up being the reason of his identity crisis (kpop idol vs rapper/artist) and one of the main themes of his first mixtape.
He's is the leader, Main rapper, songwriter, composer, and producer of BTS.
He has two mixtapes, the first one is *RM* (2015) contains 11 songs including a ft with Krizz Kaliko, this mixtape is about/by the one that left underground hip hop scene (Runch randa) and joined a kpop group (Rap Monster) Its pure hip hop, insane flows, a lot of aggression and confusion but realization at the same time
The second one is *mono* (2018) It contains 7 songs, it's a mix of genres, It’s atmospheric, reflective and pure art btw
Mono goes into more detail of Namjoon as a person, having loneliness as main theme
Also he had collab with Wale, Fall Out Boy, Warren G, Little Nas X, Honne, the korean hip hop legends Tiger JK and MFBTY, and more
He's known for his extensive use of wordplay, with double/ triple entendres, ambiguous meanings, references and metaphors
RM songs that have interesting lyrics:
- RM mixtape: Voice, Life.
- MONO: Seoul, Moonchild, UhGood.
Collabs: Strange (Agust D ft. RM), Change (Wale x RM), Gajah (Gaeko ft. RM).
Love all the song's
Joke would also be good
Love your reactions! you can tell you’re well read and constantly open to learning and growing - just like RM. I think you’re really going to appreciate your deep dives into all of BTS works. RM has such a huge hand at a ton of the lyrics.
i really like this dude. i love how he analyzes the lyrics and really looks into it. it gets me thinking alot.
swear to God bro i've watched many reaction videos but you talk some serious shit like intelligent mindset I like it🔥👍
React to rm #joke
you should react to TEAR by bts’ rapline: j-hope, suga, and rm. suga said he wrote this song for when bts thought of disbanding in 2018 and that when he played it for the other boys in the studio one day, they all cried together. super emotional song with heart wrenching lyrics. you have to react to it
I've just discovered you today by watching RM's "Joke" and now here, I have to say, thank you. It's so refreshing to see someone like you with your reactions and genuine real life messages. Bless up!
RM actually has a more recent mixtape thats really good as well and shows the growth from him (I think this is 2014?) to when he released the second in 2018. He also has an album intro called Persona thats really good, the intro to the boy with luv album
A sunbae is your senior, but it doesnt have to do with age. A group that debuted after BTS f ex will call them their sunbaes, even if Junkook is younger than someone in the new group.. And BTS calls everyone who was in the industry before them their sunbaes. 😊
Fyi, I think you'll enjoy the Rolling Stone interview with BTS that came out today!
(also, regarding honorifics, a younger boy uses "hyung" for an older boy he is close with. Donsaeng is a term used for someone younger than you, but they dont really use honorifics when adressing someone younger or someone who is the same age. A same age friend is called "chingu". Jimin and Tae are same age friends, and they even have a song together called Chingu in korean (Friends in English).
Also younger girls call older boys oppa,
younger boys call older girls noona,
and younger girls call older girls unnie. But this was perhaps info you already knew 😅😅)
sunbae basically means senior
so people who are "ranked" higher than you and or started their career before you
like Stray Kids would call BTS sunbae, and BTS would call SHINee and Taemin sunbae
generally its a respectful term but in the context and tone that rm is rapping in at 7:50 I would say he is talking about the "old heads" that try to control the music scene even as it evolves
just like how older people in America will say "___ isnt a rapper/singer" or "how can you call this music"
i think he is trying to say to those who started before him to suck it up and just realize music changes and they cant control it, that he is different and people like him so they should deal with it
in one single sentence that often gets ignored by most reactors (not out of ignorance but because RM raps too fast for most to read) he comments a key factor in every music genre and industry around the globe... old people trying to control the market that the larger and younger generations consume despite their lack in similarity in music
I love your deeper commentary on being real with people.
I'm now finding BTS reactors that go deeper into their music and I'm glad I clicked your videos. I really appreciate it, because it shows how you respect them as an artist. Just finished subscribing keep doing great content.
Always appreciate the time you take with the lyrics. RM and Suga have some brilliant lyrics.
I truly hope you go through the entire "RM" mixtape and after words i HIGHLY recommend doing a binge of the entire "mono playlist" mixtape that Namjoon did
if the "RM" mixtape is RM/Rap Monster
then "Mono" is Kim Nam Joon
both show completely different sides of him
almost like his persona vs him
with the RM mixtape I recommend the track "Monster" for no other reason than it is my favorite track
for the Mono playlist i mean this whole heartedly... you need to listen to it in one sitting... i say this because there is a underlying connection between the songs and their emotions that is hard to connect unless you watch/listen/read in order at once
czcams.com/play/PLZOBddd28uf2e9yQTWKGN81bsAqwGRkX3.html
^^^ the link above is a playlist i made that has all the tracks on the Mono Playlist and the select videos that have MVs in track order on the mixtape
you're literally my favourite when it comes to reacting to bts songs. i love how you interpret it deeply with the knowledge you have and sometimes how you interpret lyrics or videos are the same as how i interpret it. i really love how you genuinely appreciate their music, and you put your own mind into it. just like what you said, you're just being yourself and thats how you attract people to watch your videos and thats true because i genuinely love watching your vids because of the way you are. mad respect for you , keep it up bro
Ugh, I absolutely adore and appreciate Linton. Unlike any other reactors out there he genuinely takes the time to not only react to the visual and beat of the music, he also takes the time to pick apart the lyrics and meanings behind it. Not a lot of reactors do that, so I’m extremely mind blown right now by how he’s intelligently picking up this masterpiece of a song. Thanks Linton 💜💜
Love it how he has esp talked about rhyming English and Korean and still making it make sense is challenging, I can't even imagine
Do you is one of my top ten RM songs, the beat is just so catchy. Seeing as you're switching to this, I"m thinking you'll do a reaction to Joke soon and I really hope you're able to find a good translation because that song is just....yeah.....a tip, look for taehyung af translation, they have notes on the pinned comments
Terrific reaction. You are rare. I feel like I just completed a therapy session with you and RM. Thank you and stay well
I wanted your brain to react to this, because you actually look at the lyrics and give your feedback. sooooo thank you. Love your reactions
Oh gosh only 70 views!? In 6 minutes. By the way I love how open you are to different cultures and music ect. Many of my friends, think nothing about K-pop and aren’t that open about it and are stereotyping. But it’s really nice to see people fully respecting it even if they are nit fans or aren’t part of the industry ect.
I think you will also like Joke by RM. The rhythms and lyrics are a master piece.
You are so wise beyond your years! I literally love how you share your thoughts in each reaction 💛
If you really want to get to know RM I would definitely recommend checking out his mixtape, MONO. Also, his song "Joke". Thank you for your genuine reaction and commentary! :)
*Also, just to let you know, he has actually stopped using the name "Rap Monster." He still goes by RM sometimes (he has changed the meaning to "Real Me" instead of "Rap Monster"), but he mostly goes by his real name, "Namjoon", now.
Kim Namjoon on stage is a mega star , he have it all . Great personality , he looks so cool , he is fun , he is a great leader and a good human being.
The way that he explains the logic, the thinking manner, the "identity" of the lyrics and video is honestly so insane. He explains everything perfectly and is very open about how he analyzes the lyrics and the music video, it's eye-opening because you would never really see how much a music video that's less then 3 minutes can tell you so much. I would have never thought to see the deeper meaning behind this and many other music videos without him.
i love your deep reactions!
you like lyricism? you like mono! it's THE hug every army gets when things are rough
I recommend you react to RM change, I believe,life,monster,moonchild,God rap, adrift or drifting and champion all so underrated but absolute masterpieces in my book.
He's amazing, everything he puts out it's something so meaningful and worth the time
I actually love when you talk about stuff that I never knew you not just reaction you also learn 💜💜💜
Do you is one of the songs that i listen daily to remind me about my goals. I also love the simplicity of the instruments but the intricacy of his message and words.
Btw I like how you have your own message and how you analyze, you're actually very spot on when you analyze lyrics and messages of songs.
One of the reason i am love BTS most especially the rap line is their earnestness and their conviction. They know what they want to say and they say it.
This song was a fu to people who say that idol music is not music, even in Korean society, being an idol is very constrictive, there is an image of being manufactured, and there is a box that they put them in. You can do this but no more. And they are also criticize as being not manly enough, too pretty, effiminate.
And as an ex underground rapper, Suga and RM got criticize a lot, people call them as sell outs, as girls (because they wear make up) etc.
You didnt just react to it, you give us some information and education, i love it, thank you
RM is my Bias, and I appreciate you understanding how deep he is. He’s philosophical
Watching your reactions has been the best decision of the week. I’ve recently felt the need to discover myself and see those kinds of analysis and I can’t put it into words exactly but hearing your genuine open minded reactions and explanations that I agree with and help me understand more why I like what I like make me happy. It’s so great discovering hidden meanings to those lyrics that I liked for years but wasn’t as interested in truly connecting to them until now. Thank you.
I have to be honest, since the RM mixtape isnt on spotify, it hasnt gotten the love it deserves from me 🙈 his second mixtape Mono i listen to a looot tho, especially when im feeling blue.
I think you should check out Reflection off the wings album, Intro: Persona (has an mv), and Forever Rain (has an mv).
But a lot of RMs lyrics shine through in almost all bts songs, as he writes so much of them, also the vocal line parts. Some of his best work for me is Spring Day, Black Swan, and Singularity (Tae's solo) but he basically has a hand in almost all BTS songs. He's a lyrical genius.
In fact he is the third most credited writer in KOMCA (Korean Music Copyright Association) with 171 songs as of the end of 2020, tying with PSY. And he is only 26 years old. 👀 Im so excited that I'll get to follow his career for years to come!
Lol....check out RM's "Intro: Persona" and best lyrics translation would be DOOLSET Bangtan. 😊💜
Thank you for doing this in your own way. Taking your time and doing it the way YOU want to. It’s refreshing. And the way you break down the lyrics, I feel like you really understand him! Gives me more to think about too, which is a rare thing I see from reaction videos.
Also I love this song (I love all of them I can’t help it lol)..I am always in awe of Joon’s galaxy brain, he has this incredible ability to play with words. And I agree, he and Yoongi are very alike in these ideas on their solo stuff (which bleeds into the group concepts too and I love that as well). Before BTS, I had never come across words by an artist that I wanted to live by. I didn’t feel much relatable. Now I feel like everything they say about life is an important lesson that can be applied to someone at some point of their lives in someway. Truly incredible.
Thank you again, love this!!
Because of this, I've subscribed. Thanks for this review! I've always loved this song and you just made it clear for everyone else. This is exactly what it is! I hope more people see this review.
RM is beyond genius like this man is so amazing like I could wait until you get to know him and listen more to his lyrics, you will get mind blown💯💯💯🔥
Hearing what you say, i remembered a line from our sunshine ,J-hope in Dear Class 2020, "You are the leader of your own life," .I agree with what you were saying :) thanks linton wilson .Hope your days full of happiness and blessed,continue with the good reactions.
the talent of this man, RM & Mono mixtapes are so good.
I have only watched like 3 reactions of yours but I love you already wtf everything you say is so genuine and I love it
I HAVE NEVER STANNED A ARTIST SO HARD IN MY LIFE!!
Omg you gotta react to "the truth untold" and "singularity"...
I love you could really get into the lyrics and understand the deeper meaning behind it all.
I love your reactions! Keep it up!
well the reaction apart what you said until minute 6:30 just hit me deep. wow you have such a great knowledge. truly captivated by what you said. We need to listen more of this. thank you
I love you Linton 🥰 thank you for your open mind 💜
I love your reaction to RM's video Do You. I appreciate your insight on his beautiful and complex lyrics. He is definitely my ultimate bias. You might check out Change (RM and Wale), Joke, and some of his songs from his mixtape. Have a wonderful evening.🙂💜
With what you said about the black roses, for a really long time people were telling RM to leave the group and that he was too ugly, couldn't dance, wasn't talented and crap like that. It could have something to do with that, saying that he's not going anywhere of smth
Dude I can listen to an entire sermon when you speak. Your thoughts are deep and insightful.
RM is a fire lyrcist. Thats RM's IQ148 for ya. Also this man was in the top 1% of Korea when he was in high school. The only thing that sucks is translation from Korean to English can never be accurate which takes away the beauty of the actual lyrics. I recommend using doolset for the most accurate translation. Wale once said that if RM was an American rapper that he would be at the top.
You should react to Change! It features Wale and although it was released 4 years ago, the themes and lyrics of the song that both RM and Wale say fit very well to all the events and conflicts in the world now
I fking wish the world has more people like you Linton, just people who would of BTS's member's solo work. Please I am dying to watch you react to Joke by RM too!!!!!!
I honestly love your reaction so so much, you go into depth with the lyrics and your truly talk about it. Most reactors just watch it and that it. I really love how you do things differently
Ngl you're the first reactor who managed to give me goosebumps ! Immediately followed and I can't wait to see more of u
This is my first time seeing your reaction and I have really enjoyed it, I loved it how you really paid attention to detail and the lyrics as well.Yes, RM is truly remarkable when it comes to his lyrics and the message behind them👏🏾 I look forward to keep watching your reactions ✌🏾Thank you
This young man is a true poet, heart and mind. It's not what he does it's who he is. He and his art are 100% genuine reflections of who he couldn't possibly pretend to be. Much respect for each of the 7 but there is a special place in my heart for this young man. Namjoon is one of a kind. The world is lucky to have him. ❤
I'd like to think that the clip where they burned those black roses is him/the producer's way on saying "You think I'm leaving? Fuk you I'm staying and I ain't goin no where."
Holy knicketty frick frack I just realized
There's this phenomeneon where if you put a metronome on a plank with a log underneath (so basically the plank can still move) even if you start the metronome at different times, after a few seconds/minutes, it will start syncing with eachother and this really shows the "herd" mentality of how everybody starts with differing personalities, interests or opinions but ending up conforming to these copies of one another that's they deem "normal" to fit in or for the sake of stability. The constant theme of the metronome through out the video, even as the main beat of the song is definetly something.
Honestly shout out to everybody working on this music video
I keep saying this but I’m gonna say this again, Namjoon has such a beautiful way with words and looking at things, idk where he got it from, whether if it’s the books that he reads, or just life experience but it’s so amazing the way he perceive things in life. I for one find it fascinating. His words bring so much comfort, questioning and understanding all at once. For example there was this video I once saw where he said “people say to “dream big” but I think you don’t have to live so fiercely” (that might not be exactly what it said what it’s what I remember). When he said that you just might think about life and you reflect on it and you just might take to consideration on the things he says.
Another example is in a run ep where they were writing poems/letters to each other, he literally took a words with a basic meaning, with its basic state and gave it a whole new feeling and meaning. He brought the word to life.
You can call me crazy or say I’m over reacting all you want, but it won’t stop this from being true.
Namjoon’s words are not only fascinating but how do I explain this, captivating if I can use that word. That once you really listen to what he says and how he looks at the world you just don’t want to stop listening.I’m not only saying this because I’m an army or anything, he really is such a wise soul and every-time he speaks about something I can’t help but listen to it.
I feel like i stumbled upon your video is meant to be, ur energy is high and it’s uplift mine too. it’s nice watching you talk genuinely, keep doing u!
I love how you just said:
"Teach them to love you"😊😥
you are well spoken, it's very satisfying to listen and rare to find among the reactors. thank you, keep being you! 😊
he reacts to the ✨lyrics✨
love it
Love the commentary. We appreciate eloquent discourse in this fandom. You nice, keep going 💜
Watch Joke he show his different flows, it’s a unbelievable.
I love how you broke his lyrics down, so insightful, thanks. You just got a new subscriber. 😊
I think I love your channel BECAUSE of your commentary and I love how observant you are and how you analyze the music and lyrics.
I really enjoy you giving out your perspective on their lyricism.
Songs from the rap line in general tend to be so thought provoking and engaging, it's so interesting.
I'd really be interested in you reviewing their newer mixtapes since they changed their sound and perspectives on things a lot.
Especially RM's mono. is a stark contrast to his first mixtape. I would love to hear your opinion on this!!
I'm always in awe of Joon's intelligence and even more for those who are able to interpret them! Nice work!! This was definitely a time he was going through some hardships, Joon and Suga were publicly ridiculed and humiliated infront of their rapper sunbaes (seniors) who mocked them for becoming 'kpop idol rappers'. They believe Joon and Suga wasted their talent on becoming idols, K-pop idols are just considered puppets in the industry who have no musical influence and just follow company orders.
I am genuinely excited for you to listen to the mono album. listening to RM'S music starting from Do You through to his latest solo work is like listening to his growth as a human being. So beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE YOUR COMMENTARY YOU ARE INSIGHTFUL
I just found your channel, accidentally. Best accident ever. Keep doing what u doing! Thank you!
i absolutely love how you express your thoughts bc sometimes it makes me see another perspective, plus i don't know if people told you, but you're really good with words. keep going! what i like about bts and their lyrics (both group and solo) is how deep they are in terms of: i can read them many times and each time i read i find a new thing to explain for myself and a new maybe hidden or double meaning and it's like diving into a huge and most interesting book that you just keep and keep exploring. sometimes they express the exact feelings i had but couldn't articulate and then they release a song and i'm like "yeah, exactly, god bless i'm not the only one who thought of this and felt like that"
Yess this is , what i like in ur channel u always explain it with a deeper view
I love that
Sunbaes here are the people who used to be with him doing Underground hip hop.....they criticised(bashed tbh) Rm and Suga for "leaving" hip hop for being an idol.....RM had a identity crisis due to this but later he accepted being an idol/artist!! He is truly someone to look up to!!
I am so excited for you to delve deeper into MONO (mixtape) by RM... 😭 This masterpiece helped me a lot during my recovery from depression. My absolute favorite is "everything goes" and "Mono" and "bad bye" and "Moonchild" and----all the tracks 😭😭there's no skip😭😭 the whole mixtape embraced me. If ever you decided to react to the mixtape PLEASE react to it in chronological order.
Reach away my friend! That is the essence of the fandom... ARMY does love the theories :)
i love how you explain thingssssss. keep doing these kind of videos plsssss. 🙂
I love your comments and can really vibe with them. Thanks for a great reaction 😊
its my first time enjoying a long commentary reaction video, thank you for the reaction✨💜
Sunbae explained shorty is someone who has the same occupation/ profession as you, but they joined before you, so they've been there longer than you. The same goes for school too. it's basically an "upperclassman" both in school and a profession, but can be used for both boys and girls.
I subscribed just because you said you don't feel like watching a guide right now. Beautiful. Get to know them straight from the source, BTS tells you everything you need to know. A guide might be fun later, when you've gotten more of a feel for them, when your opinion of them is more formed.
I like how linton analyzes RM's lyrics with so much wisdom and maturity. Some reaction channels lack in that department when reacting to songs. I appreciate it very much.
💜💜💜
I’m loving how you took your time! You don’t really /have/ to watch intoductiom videos. Watching those too early could plant unnecessary assumptions imo. Armys are sometimes (most of the time I feel like) got way too excited to show off bts, but pacing yourself and forming your own opinion is better than cramming tonnes of information. Just keep in mind the years the music was released and maybe get some context via google or later via the comments.
Also loving your commentary and talks about life and shit! You have such a chill view of life that vibes with me, so keep doing what you’re doing!
quick note: RM now goes by (Real Me) rather than (Rap Monster) he said that he outgrew that name, but the some of the members still jokingly or mistakenly call him that lol
also Sunbae=senpai=senior, someone who's been in the industry longer that him or debuted before him, I think he's referring to Bfree, a trash "rapper" who publicly disrespected him and suga on a radio, he said that what BTS does is not hip-hop, because BTS in their early days were more hip-hop focused group back then, and also because they wear make up 🤡 and loads of other distrustful sh*t basically criticizing RM and Suga leaving the "underground" hip-hop scene and debuting in a Kpop group..
and about the flower, rather than leaving id say that since the whole video in black&white or whatever, the flowers are not necessarily black but the emphasis was on "Burning roses"..
Thanks for appreciating Namjoon's lyricism. He's really one of the most talented lyricists of a generation.
I'd first rec: uhgood from RM's mono. (actually all of mono is amazing) but be careful because some of the lyric vids have very poor translations
Also, definitely Joke from RM. Joke has some of the most intricate wordplay Namjoon's done. You really need to be fluent in English and Korean culturally and linguistically to fully appreciate his lyrics. Good translators a gift.
BTS' cyphers 1-4 are great, too, to get a sense of each of BTS's rappers. They span over years and albums and you can just see the growth as you watch them. I'd suggest doing all four back to back.
UGH, DDAENG, and Baepsae are all worth looking at, too. However! All three of these really do need to watched in tandem with their 'explained by a Korean' counterpart or looking at doolsetbangtan's lyric translation because most lyric vids skip over much of the cultural context and you end up missing how impressive the wordplay is.
ah an intellectual, i love you. i love these super detailed analysis vids. keep em coming
