Some armies put it like this and i kinda agree J-hope is flowy rap insults. You're vibing too much to notice Suga/AgustD is blunt...like here i said it deal with it. Never attacks anyone directly if you feel offended thats on you Rm makes you think about the insult he just said to you. Like im gonna hurt you and your brain at the same time
RM will insult you like 3 different ways with wordplay and you'll have no idea. He is literally a genius and he chooses to use his genius to bless us lyrically.
The story behind Rm making this song is that haters kept tellin him that he cant rap fast and he cant flow...so this is kind of his answer to the haters...not only did he rap super fast if u notice some of the lines in the song dont make sense basically he is highlighting the fact that 'rap isnt only about flowing it should have meaning.' And thats why this song is called joke. If im wrong correct me guys but this is what i heard
that’s correct!!! this song is basically a joke and that one part where he was saying pure gibberish was literally to point out how that is how lyrics are for some people that claim to be “rappers”. joon is so cool
And also he says something like 'im not making any sense but listen how good i sound' and that means i can rap fast, it rhymes also im making great music that means something i do it all
It makes complete sense lmao. Its called wordplay he said this track is more about auditory pleasure but wordplay is not absent , ppl made that up on their own
his rap does make sense though. If you look at it, you can tell that its a flex and also a comeback for all the haters, almost everyword make sense, and he using wordplay to make fun of those haters
namjoon uses an insane amount of word play his lyricism is insane, only rm can write lyrics like that, the way he dissects the world is incredible. Everyone thinks they’re just some regular idol group, I did too once upon a time, until u get into it and realize they are simply unmatched, they talk their shit, write their own lyrics and everything. We could get a fun song like butter today but get a philosophical song tomorrow, with bts u just never know. Eight years into their career and army still don’t know what to expect every comeback, that itself says a lot about them.
From Agust D giving us the middle finger to RM making a song sounding so hard and have a fast flow, but then when it's being translated it's just a song full of jokes and RM is just joking about the haters. You can't even tell what would happen when they decide to make a song.
I've heard somewhere that, epik high has been a major inspiration, and from the little I know about epik high, tablo has some insane word play, and he's one of his sources of inspiration
9 flows, no chorus, straight bars! Joke is an intelligent sattire for people who think rapping fast without any meaningful lyrics and flow is cool or good. The bibbiby babbiby verse you heard him say is the joke of him dissing the mumble jumble rappers. Joke is not just "fast rap" with no meaning. RM is the KING of wordplays. He focuses a lot on lyricism, double/triple entendre and flow. He gets his inspiration from 90's hip hop if you wanna check out his first mixtape. Masterpiece! BTW he has an IQ of 148 and you'll see why his lyrics always have double meanings. HE'S THAT IMPRESSIVE 🔥🔥🔥 *this is a comment that is literally in every reaction to this track, i dont know who originally wrote it, but yeah, there it is :)
That line, just gave me an image of those ‘big shot’ rappers waving their wand with a dumb smile on their face like the fairy godmother from Cinderella
The song is called *JOKE* as a slap - back at the people who said (RM wasn't a good or "real" rapper because his rap didn't have "speed" like some "real" rappers in Korean Hiphop.) RM really focusing on fitting his own rap part and lyrics to the feel of BTS songs rather than just inserting a fast rap part into a song for no reason which is kind of common in Kpop. Here, he shows off his delivery with lyrics that make much sense to mock the rappers who can rap fast but have nonsense lyrics. You could say their rap is a "joke". So he made this to get back at them! His raps got hella speed and it's basically a rap to show them that he can beat them at their own game. Some of the lyrics is just him teasing how they rap, sort of like "Look at me doing that same thing as you but I'm doing it 100x better." 😂
"It's like they're stopping themselves from creating the chaos they CAN create". This right here sir, is why I am subscribed. The only thing I enjoy more than watching people enjoy BTS, is watching people GET BTS. They have so much left in the bag....you just know there is a trove of unreleased tracks that are just waiting to be summoned lol. They definitely have it in them to be brutal. They've ended careers. But they also realize their power and despite what they've been through, they are a mix of empathetic towards their haters, and just really above it and no longer feel called to retaliate.
This tho!! They are past it for the most part, I mean.. D-2 exists and it has some hard hitting stuff in it but it’s not as angry and sad as Agust D was. They’re just over it all and not mad at folks like that anymore. Which I’m glad cuz that kinda crap staying with you can be bad!
just love it when someone appreciates RM's talent (both his lyricism as well as as his rap). The boy is so underrated and I hope one day he gets all the love and recognition he deserves. Namjoooooon, fighting!!!!!
He says he’s taking his time to unpack BTS but in reality it’s because no one has the mental capacity to appreciate all their greatness the way you do, while doing it back to back. He isn’t chugging BTS, he’s savoring it like fine wine it is
The fact that he still had deviated nasal septum during that time, he travels around with a device to help him breathe at night and he still raps like that! He underwent operation in 2018 to have it fixed
Just seeing this video but I need to speak on the “bibidi babidi” bar cause oh my god it’s the most intricate and devastating one... so basically before that line he says bastard you can’t rap more than three characters and then the immediate line following that is bibidi babidi (if you notice they’re all words made up of three characters) on top of that these words are made up as far as I’m aware which means he’s also dissing other rappers and their lyrics that they don’t make sense Essentially he’s saying that their raps aren’t complex nor do they make any sense dissing his competitor’s whole discography jeez 🤯 I love this man and his intelligence so much
There’s an old Korean Hip Hop message board back when RM was active rapping before BTS. A poster asked what rapper would they be most scared of rapping against. One of the rappers posted that no one was SCARED but they wouldn’t want to battle Runch Randa (RM’s former rap name.) He was very young back then. If I find the screen shot and translation I’ll post the link. It was very long ago when I saw it and it’s not talked about much now.
Educate the children 👏 The reference that i got only recently and that made me flip the table is "in my pocket there's full of monsters" - he threw in a freaking POKEMON REFERENCE 😳 This man is something else istg
Yea, you’ll definitely want to check out his song Awakening. In that song he actually addresses when his underground buddies backstabbed him by treating him differently for turning into an “idol.” In that song, he talks about the confusion he had regarding his identity and how he use to hate being called an idol as if being lesser than an artist, but that now he learned to love it because it became a part of him
Love what u said -" They're not Idols, they're artists" i totally agree with u! They really learned their craft & evolved as an artist. And still wanting to be better along the way that's the true essence of being a true artist.
RM and Suga were both making names as underground rappers before they became idols. So when they decided to join BTS, those underground rappers questioned them and telling them that make up are for girls. Accusing them that fame and money is they're reason for becoming an idol and many more. Like they got a lot of dissing and hate comments from the underground rappers. these songs and Cypher is their response.
one minute ago. I'm early to something for once. I really really love how you react to these. unlike other people you look into the meaning not just because it sounds cool but because they have meaning and actually understand these things. you are amazing, love this.
There is a lot of wordplay lost in translation but RM said that (since the song doesn't have a transcendental meaning) he made it just for auditory pleasure, that's why it's called Joke so it's okay just enjoy what you're listening!
The fact that makes me laugh is that they criticized him for being an idol but when he was an underground rapper he was hella feared, and there were not a lot of people who dared to confront him
now you get why armys always say that bts is the genre and caging them into kpop is basically disrespectful bc that doesn't represent who they are in the smallest fraction. and talking about their lyrics, koreans always say that the translations don't do justice to the actual insanity and complexity of their lyricism, and we're here losing our minds /still. if i would explain the difference between RM and SUGA in terms of lyrics, i would say that RM writes speech that he delivers to masses (even his usage of pronouns) and SUGA writes about and for himself. when you listen to yoongi's songs, it feels like you're getting into his head, when you listen to namjoon it feels like he's teaching you about life
What’s even crazy is when he was in underground rap scene as runch randa, even the older rappers wouldn’t go against him, they knew his skills and abilities very well, he was very well known to the point suga who was in daegu knew of him lol
Actually according to Namjoon, 'RM' now means 'Real Me', he purged the name Rap Monster because he said he is not a monster, and has moved on. But it is difficult for rap friendly listeners because the level of his rap is so monstrous (in a fantastic sort of way). I want to say, its wonderful to see a reactor actually understand the layers to this man's lyrics, and wordplay - swirls you in it, and you feel grateful to be a part of interplay. It takes real focus to raise to the level of awareness that comes with RM's bars. Congrats!
You can also look at he finally freeing himself from underground and stepping out in the end. He exchanged his place with the guard and left the underground scene. 💜💜🇮🇳
im loving this reaction bcs few days ago alot of people were coming for namjoon's lyricism, in the sense that he's not good. Im cackling bcs those haters really are missing out on ART
Hello! I've stumbled upon your channel when I was searching for CZcamsrs reacting to Chanmina, I've already admired your way of sharing your knowledge and philosophy with us but I didn't dive that deep into your content yet, not until hours ago when I saw your reaction video to RM's joke (this piece is a part of my heart). I am a huge fan of BTS since 2016 and I find your commenting therapeutic, I feel like I am listening to my teacher and counselor at the same time (and I never felt so welcome in my life). Your words, really, helped me to sort what is in my head, not only I am being encouraged and inspired but I am also learning how I would properly share my inner thoughts to the people who wanted to listen to me. I just wanted to say I love listening to your comments about these lyrics and I hope you will stay healthy and safe! Thank you ♡!
I love watching people react to these songs... I personally believe that someone's reaction to Joke says as much about the listener as about RM. Your reaction is beautiful- you can see past the pretty rhythms and see what's happening. I love it, and I can't wait to see more of your reactions!
Both RM and Suga were in the underground scene, ppl freaking feared em too😭😂😂 Hope was a street dancer Jungkook was into dancing mainly B-boying along his bro so singing wasn't his main thing until BTS Tae was the son of a humble farming fam, they were busy so he was raised by his granny (peace be upon her) though tae really really looks up to his father is so many ways he never fails to mention how much he does oh and boy used to play the saxophone Jimin was into contemporary dancing, was one of the best students when he got into BTS he was very very insecure bout his voice but he's cool now, his development and all hits real hard (plus he's way too hard on himself) Jin was actually an actor lol, he studied that in college and all then was swooped up by BigHit and had to learn everything from scratch add on that raising the boys and being a reliable brother cuz he's the eldest till they grew mature enough nd we started seeing more of Jin's fun, easygoing ,childlike side which we all adore now In short, the way this band was formed was just insane man, it was brought ppl from different cities all over korea, different backgrounds and then they gotta work together, like some members didn't even go to audition (Jin was snatched off the streets lol and tae decided to auditionon a whim , that's a story to tell some other day) but look at them now, 8 years strongly and tightly together
This comment is underrated. You just summarized their entire life. And yes, reading this I re-realised that "Fate" really did some good shit bring these 7 humans together for a million ones like us. And yeah, about Jin, I remember how shy and soft spoken he was during the initial period of Bangatan's life. And look at him now, the most chaotic & confident guy on the planet lol! And Tae, he went to the audition to give his friend company, his friend who was actually there for the audition. But then stuffs happened and now we have V. Never knew fate could be this beautiful.
RM analyses the world. He is so creative with his wordplay that he makes you think about the insult. Suga criticises the world. He hits it hard and is direct about it, he never attacks anyone directly but hey if you're insulted, that's on you. J-Hope visualises the world. He paints a pretty picture for you and he is so charismatic you end up vibing to it. BTS is full of lyrical geniuses. Love hoy you always get them and analyse them on a deeper level, man! Kudos to you, subscribed after this video and can't wait to see you reacting to more BTS! Love to see how you genuinely respect them.
omg thank you so much for reacting to my suggestion!! I jumped on my seat when I saw the name of my channel on the screen lmao, anyways I'm happy you enjoyed it, it was such a genuine and nice reaction thank you again!!
Man it took me about 8 years after starting to listen to kpop before I decided to really check BTS out and not gonna lie.... I really thought they were just another idol group too, like I just thought they were the same thing but bigger/more popular and like... I was REALLY wrong. I was kinda mad about it for a while, like why didn't anyone tell me that they were different for real?! LOL
i have a big respect to you. you are the first person who understood more in this song than ive ever watched. ragarding changing name, before was a bar: my name is Greatest my surname is Ever - this name he never will change
PLEASEEEE react to his entire 1st mixtape called 'RM', and 'joke' is one of the b-side tracks. the other tracks in this mixtape will blow your mind too!!!
I'm subscribing because of the "this is not my child he's not even my family member but he gotta listen to this too"😂😂😂 RM is my bias by the way and im always biased when it comes to him
Your energy was off the charts in this reaction haha. It was great fun watching this video. Does that mean we have j-Hope coming up next? Or did I miss a reaction? So I haven't known anything about rap before bts and I had a skewed idea of what kind of music it is (primarily regarding subjects of drugs and sex), so after getting to know bts, I started listening to some old hip hop and it's been so cool. I especially appreciate RM, as he can take things very intellectually. What was interesting to me is that RM was apparently already known in the underground before joining bts (Suga not so much as a rapper, but he was known as a beat-maker in his region). I think Suga mentioned that adult rappers were hesitant to go against RM when he was like 15 or 16, and I don't know if you are aware, but bts was built AROUND RM. The company had an idea of wanting a hip hop group, but when they encountered RM, they signed him on the spot, and then started looking for others to join him (mind you, the guy was about to quit music since he botched a big audition, but he luckily got recommended by a senior rapper to try out for Bighit). All the bts rappers have super cool audition stories. Suga was a competitive mofo and remixed RM's beat for his audition (he was the only one to do so and got signed as a producer), while J-Hope was given a camera and was supposed to film himself dancing when he was ready - the man freestyled for four hours until they came to take the camera away.
I guess you might agree, but I don’t think there’s anything “just” about BTS. And the best - the more you dive, the more respect you get for them. Just think about all the aspects and areas you have yet to discover. I’m telling you, they will keep surprising you.
That's why people should understand the difference between idol and artist.. BTS is both idol and artist so don't easily compare them with other K-pop groups.💜
Me opening this video: *sees the number of sections in the video timestamps* Me: *smiles widely* This.. this is what I came for. There are 4 songs in their solo/group discography that make me want to set fire to things and commit crimes. 1. We On - Where they basically said "don't worry about me because I'm better than you" 2. Joke - Where RM just said "if you can... beat this" 3. Agust D - Where Suga just went off on everyone who thought they could talk ish about BTS because they had a mouth 4. Ugh - Where they said "I don't even have time for you anymore"
I freaking love this reaction The bit where you talked about them having evolved beyond underground, and idol status, brilliant and ohh so true Thank you for an amazing reaction ❤
listen i don't know why armys started thinking the lyrics of this song make no sense and much less why they assumed that not only does it not make sense, but that rm did that intentionally to make fun of rappers who can only flow/be fast without meaningful lyrics. like that's a boldly specific thing to affirm for someone who never heard namjoon confirm it lmao. the song does make sense, that so many translations are shitty is a whole different story. the only part of the song where he does make fun of the way other rappers rap is in the "you can only say 3 syllables at a time. bibidi babidi (...)" part. so let's not act like a bunch of sheeps and repeat what everyone says just because. here's a better translation of the song if NOW you wanna fact check czcams.com/video/blnA4l_f6xw/video.html
What I love about this video is that unlike so many other reactions, you really got the message that The guy he is now, the BTS Idol, he's the cop holding in the Monster that the haters and in underground rap world are taunting and targeting. The idea that he is holding back that monster and let him out for this track so he could watch the madness, that's awesome. You even get the smirk from the guard as the Monster rips these haters down. Then, it ends with him saying "hit me" as the call out to anyone who wants to respond but he's left the monster unchained. It's a threat as much as it is a challenge. the haters speak up again and it won't be RM from Butter firing back because Monster is waiting.
you misunderstood. when he said he won’t ever change his name he meant “Kim Namjoon” which refers to his family name. he’s going back to his roots and where he came from
When you listen to his first mixtape, you can hear so much anger and frustration. It's kinda funny that it totally doesn't match chill RM vibe these days.
😘 I have been waiting for you to get to this song. Nothing you can do but strap in for the ride. (not meant in a pervy way 😂) As usual I love your reactions. And yes, BTS is different, I like the way you stated it. Put respect on their name, they are artists. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

The reason why he is the leader of BTS !!!!
Lol i noticed he had to drink his water fast so he doesn't miss the lyrics
“That wasn’t my child but he has to see this” lmao
HE BROUGHT OUT A WHOLE CHILD BAHA
Did anyone catch that Lilo and Stitch reference? "I'm a monster, son of a Stitch"?
Also a stitch is a painful reference (side stitch or stitching a wound).
Picks a random child and shows him the mv. I'm weak 😂😂😂

Louder sister 👏🏾
Yes
FINALLY SOMEONE APPRECIATES THIS SONG ITS SO UNDERRATED AND SO GOOOOD HIS FLOW AND EVERYTHING IS JUST BEAUTIFUL 😩❤️🔥
RM stands for Real Me now and yes, they aren’t just idols, they are artists and they are the genre. BTS is the GENRE.
He says he’s taking his time to unpack BTS but in reality it’s because no one has the mental capacity to appreciate all their greatness the way you do, while doing it back to back. He isn’t chugging BTS, he’s savoring it like fine wine it is

Yes! A lot of people only talk about Joke and Do You. Awakening is a revelation.
Love what u said -" They're not Idols, they're artists" i totally agree with u! They really learned their craft & evolved as an artist. And still wanting to be better along the way that's the true essence of being a true artist.
The day RM let’s the Rap Monster out is the day of reckoning for the entire k-pop music industry
RM and Suga were both making names as underground rappers before they became idols. So when they decided to join BTS, those underground rappers questioned them and telling them that make up are for girls. Accusing them that fame and money is they're reason for becoming an idol and many more. Like they got a lot of dissing and hate comments from the underground rappers. these songs and Cypher is their response.
I had to stop listening to RM and Suga solo projects. Their music made me want to break 💩 all the time while listening to their work. 😂😂😂😂😂
😀😀😀😀😀
one minute ago. I'm early to something for once. I really really love how you react to these. unlike other people you look into the meaning not just because it sounds cool but because they have meaning and actually understand these things. you are amazing, love this.
There is a lot of wordplay lost in translation but RM said that (since the song doesn't have a transcendental meaning) he made it just for auditory pleasure, that's why it's called Joke so it's okay just enjoy what you're listening!
I feel like i have to breath for him
The fact that makes me laugh is that they criticized him for being an idol but when he was an underground rapper he was hella feared, and there were not a lot of people who dared to confront him
I want rm to see this reaction, absolute gold.
Waa I enjoyed this react. It's not often that people understand his purpose with this song. It's a literal joke. I love it.
Please also watch his MV for Awakening!
So many people forget that he released a 3rd MV for his RM Mixtape its so underrated 😭
If I ever study music in the future, one of my dreams will be to be under RM's guidence
I feel u 😁😅
The same reaction when I watched joke
It's nooo joke
Like some of the Army's dosent know this master piece Exists
now you get why armys always say that bts is the genre and caging them into kpop is basically disrespectful bc that doesn't represent who they are in the smallest fraction. and talking about their lyrics, koreans always say that the translations don't do justice to the actual insanity and complexity of their lyricism, and we're here losing our minds /still.
if i would explain the difference between RM and SUGA in terms of lyrics, i would say that RM writes speech that he delivers to masses (even his usage of pronouns) and SUGA writes about and for himself. when you listen to yoongi's songs, it feels like you're getting into his head, when you listen to namjoon it feels like he's teaching you about life
your reviews are so good. this is the kind of critics the music industry really need. you genuinely really know stuffs
What’s even crazy is when he was in underground rap scene as runch randa, even the older rappers wouldn’t go against him, they knew his skills and abilities very well, he was very well known to the point suga who was in daegu knew of him lol
Love that you just found a random child bc it was that good 😅
Actually according to Namjoon, 'RM' now means 'Real Me', he purged the name Rap Monster because he said he is not a monster, and has moved on. But it is difficult for rap friendly listeners because the level of his rap is so monstrous (in a fantastic sort of way). I want to say, its wonderful to see a reactor actually understand the layers to this man's lyrics, and wordplay - swirls you in it, and you feel grateful to be a part of interplay. It takes real focus to raise to the level of awareness that comes with RM's bars. Congrats!
You can also look at he finally freeing himself from underground and stepping out in the end. He exchanged his place with the guard and left the underground scene. 💜💜🇮🇳
there’s a reason why this is one of my favorite solo songs
Your reaction is one of my all time favorites to this.
im loving this reaction bcs few days ago alot of people were coming for namjoon's lyricism, in the sense that he's not good. Im cackling bcs those haters really are missing out on ART
AAAAAAH i love it when people reacts to any song from Namjoon’s mixtape. he’s amazing, isn’t he?
Oh yes I’ve been waiting for this one omg
the quality!!! you definitely deserve more recognition man good job!
Hello! I've stumbled upon your channel when I was searching for CZcamsrs reacting to Chanmina, I've already admired your way of sharing your knowledge and philosophy with us but I didn't dive that deep into your content yet, not until hours ago when I saw your reaction video to RM's joke (this piece is a part of my heart). I am a huge fan of BTS since 2016 and I find your commenting therapeutic, I feel like I am listening to my teacher and counselor at the same time (and I never felt so welcome in my life). Your words, really, helped me to sort what is in my head, not only I am being encouraged and inspired but I am also learning how I would properly share my inner thoughts to the people who wanted to listen to me. I just wanted to say I love listening to your comments about these lyrics and I hope you will stay healthy and safe! Thank you ♡!
I love watching people react to these songs... I personally believe that someone's reaction to Joke says as much about the listener as about RM. Your reaction is beautiful- you can see past the pretty rhythms and see what's happening. I love it, and I can't wait to see more of your reactions!
" this is not my child" had me cracking up a lot like " before you say anything lets make something clear here thats not my child "
finally i was waiting for this
Both RM and Suga were in the underground scene, ppl freaking feared em too😭😂😂
Hope was a street dancer
Jungkook was into dancing mainly B-boying along his bro so singing wasn't his main thing until BTS
Tae was the son of a humble farming fam, they were busy so he was raised by his granny (peace be upon her) though tae really really looks up to his father is so many ways he never fails to mention how much he does
oh and boy used to play the saxophone
Jimin was into contemporary dancing, was one of the best students when he got into BTS he was very very insecure bout his voice but he's cool now, his development and all hits real hard (plus he's way too hard on himself)
Jin was actually an actor lol, he studied that in college and all then was swooped up by BigHit and had to learn everything from scratch add on that raising the boys and being a reliable brother cuz he's the eldest till they grew mature enough nd we started seeing more of Jin's fun, easygoing ,childlike side which we all adore now
In short, the way this band was formed was just insane man, it was brought ppl from different cities all over korea, different backgrounds and then they gotta work together, like some members didn't even go to audition (Jin was snatched off the streets lol and tae decided to auditionon a whim , that's a story to tell some other day) but look at them now, 8 years strongly and tightly together
This comment is underrated. You just summarized their entire life. And yes, reading this I re-realised that "Fate" really did some good shit bring these 7 humans together for a million ones like us. And yeah, about Jin, I remember how shy and soft spoken he was during the initial period of Bangatan's life. And look at him now, the most chaotic & confident guy on the planet lol! And Tae, he went to the audition to give his friend company, his friend who was actually there for the audition. But then stuffs happened and now we have V. Never knew fate could be this beautiful.
@@raindrops2892 Fate did them wonders, I'm greatful
i totally agree with your comment about them not being idols anymore
RM analyses the world. He is so creative with his wordplay that he makes you think about the insult.
Suga criticises the world. He hits it hard and is direct about it, he never attacks anyone directly but hey if you're insulted, that's on you.
J-Hope visualises the world. He paints a pretty picture for you and he is so charismatic you end up vibing to it.
BTS is full of lyrical geniuses.
Love hoy you always get them and analyse them on a deeper level, man! Kudos to you, subscribed after this video and can't wait to see you reacting to more BTS! Love to see how you genuinely respect them.
Thank uh for watching it 🙂
Hope many ppl recognise the king namjoon Passion n hardwork
omg thank you so much for reacting to my suggestion!! I jumped on my seat when I saw the name of my channel on the screen lmao, anyways I'm happy you enjoyed it, it was such a genuine and nice reaction thank you again!!
All I gotta say is he warned them “Man, I told you I’m a monster.”
Man it took me about 8 years after starting to listen to kpop before I decided to really check BTS out and not gonna lie.... I really thought they were just another idol group too, like I just thought they were the same thing but bigger/more popular and like... I was REALLY wrong. I was kinda mad about it for a while, like why didn't anyone tell me that they were different for real?! LOL
And now you know!! Joke ain’t no Joke! One of my all time favorites! I can’t even count how many times I have listened to this. Pure 🔥
i love seeing RM getting the attention he deserves
Just heard/watched Joke- just frkn WOW INSANE..
literally my favourite korean rapper
I really love his songs, his flow is on fire.
I like all of your reactions but this is one of my favorites.
And yeah, RM is really talented.
the damn intro LMAOO
i have a big respect to you. you are the first person who understood more in this song than ive ever watched.
ragarding changing name, before was a bar: my name is Greatest my surname is Ever - this name he never will change
New subscriber from Canada.I like what you said...They are not idols they are artists.
PLEASEEEE react to his entire 1st mixtape called 'RM', and 'joke' is one of the b-side tracks. the other tracks in this mixtape will blow your mind too!!!
I'm subscribing because of the "this is not my child he's not even my family member but he gotta listen to this too"😂😂😂 RM is my bias by the way and im always biased when it comes to him
Your energy was off the charts in this reaction haha. It was great fun watching this video. Does that mean we have j-Hope coming up next? Or did I miss a reaction?
So I haven't known anything about rap before bts and I had a skewed idea of what kind of music it is (primarily regarding subjects of drugs and sex), so after getting to know bts, I started listening to some old hip hop and it's been so cool. I especially appreciate RM, as he can take things very intellectually. What was interesting to me is that RM was apparently already known in the underground before joining bts (Suga not so much as a rapper, but he was known as a beat-maker in his region). I think Suga mentioned that adult rappers were hesitant to go against RM when he was like 15 or 16, and I don't know if you are aware, but bts was built AROUND RM. The company had an idea of wanting a hip hop group, but when they encountered RM, they signed him on the spot, and then started looking for others to join him (mind you, the guy was about to quit music since he botched a big audition, but he luckily got recommended by a senior rapper to try out for Bighit). All the bts rappers have super cool audition stories. Suga was a competitive mofo and remixed RM's beat for his audition (he was the only one to do so and got signed as a producer), while J-Hope was given a camera and was supposed to film himself dancing when he was ready - the man freestyled for four hours until they came to take the camera away.
I guess you might agree, but I don’t think there’s anything “just” about BTS. And the best - the more you dive, the more respect you get for them. Just think about all the aspects and areas you have yet to discover. I’m telling you, they will keep surprising you.
I love RM but I miss rap monster so much~
That's why people should understand the difference between idol and artist.. BTS is both idol and artist so don't easily compare them with other K-pop groups.💜
Me opening this video: *sees the number of sections in the video timestamps*
Me: *smiles widely*
This.. this is what I came for. There are 4 songs in their solo/group discography that make me want to set fire to things and commit crimes.
1. We On - Where they basically said "don't worry about me because I'm better than you"
2. Joke - Where RM just said "if you can... beat this"
3. Agust D - Where Suga just went off on everyone who thought they could talk ish about BTS because they had a mouth
4. Ugh - Where they said "I don't even have time for you anymore"
I freaking love this reaction
The bit where you talked about them having evolved beyond underground, and idol status, brilliant and ohh so true
Thank you for an amazing reaction ❤
thank u for this quality reaction!! the timestamps were convenient and i had to click like when u brought the baby, it was too cute :)
I was waiting for this!!!
i still comeback to this video.. my favorite reaction.please u are so articulate!!!
listen i don't know why armys started thinking the lyrics of this song make no sense and much less why they assumed that not only does it not make sense, but that rm did that intentionally to make fun of rappers who can only flow/be fast without meaningful lyrics. like that's a boldly specific thing to affirm for someone who never heard namjoon confirm it lmao. the song does make sense, that so many translations are shitty is a whole different story. the only part of the song where he does make fun of the way other rappers rap is in the "you can only say 3 syllables at a time. bibidi babidi (...)" part. so let's not act like a bunch of sheeps and repeat what everyone says just because. here's a better translation of the song if NOW you wanna fact check czcams.com/video/blnA4l_f6xw/video.html
What I love about this video is that unlike so many other reactions, you really got the message that The guy he is now, the BTS Idol, he's the cop holding in the Monster that the haters and in underground rap world are taunting and targeting. The idea that he is holding back that monster and let him out for this track so he could watch the madness, that's awesome. You even get the smirk from the guard as the Monster rips these haters down. Then, it ends with him saying "hit me" as the call out to anyone who wants to respond but he's left the monster unchained. It's a threat as much as it is a challenge. the haters speak up again and it won't be RM from Butter firing back because Monster is waiting.
You have to react to : Throw away . I miss the old Rm.
Kudos to you! I can never read the subtitles as fast as RM's rap! Haha... cypher 3 next please!!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
His jailer is HIMSELF.
I have been waiting for this reaction.. Thank you very much.
I have said that all the time!!!!!! They are NOT IDOLS they are ARTISTS 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️😮💨
Did you even take a breath!!
RM: yesn't
Loved this reaction!
9:07 I'm literally dying from laughing so hard after seeing your reaction
you misunderstood. when he said he won’t ever change his name he meant “Kim Namjoon” which refers to his family name. he’s going back to his roots and where he came from
When you listen to his first mixtape, you can hear so much anger and frustration. It's kinda funny that it totally doesn't match chill RM vibe these days.
the timecodes 😮
I highly recommend reacting to their cyphers ❤️
😘 I have been waiting for you to get to this song. Nothing you can do but strap in for the ride. (not meant in a pervy way 😂) As usual I love your reactions. And yes, BTS is different, I like the way you stated it. Put respect on their name, they are artists. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I love this! Thank u for your reaction! You should really, if you have time and want to ofc, check out his full first mixtape ‘RM’ and then mono. :)
Yeey there's another Namjoon's song review.
RM took a backseat for Suga to shine. They are both incredible
