BTS J-HOPE GOES SOLO?! | Rapper Reacts to j-hope 'JACK IN THE BOX' (FULL ALBUM REVIEW)

[@Funtan_Sonyeondan]

"I need some j-hope in my life" me too, I need his energy and positivity

[@Zyna-0]

This is absolutely a no skip album and it somehow gets better with each listen and I love it 🔥

[@racquieblack1217]

100% agree!

[@butterbuttersbetter3689]

Agreed!

[@jelalejanaabubakar7860]

It really does. I love his musicality so much 😩🔥

[@domilovez]

Omggg I was gonna comment something along the lines of this 💜

[@joaniewwh3502]

totally agree! the story-telling in this album is insane too.

[@cosmicalsims]

Knox acting like a dad towards the haters is so funny to me

[@heathernile4700]

Knox thanks for being stern against haters. Artists, including BTS, work so hard to bring joy to all of us. Thank you for your music, your thoughts, your care, and all of your hard work. 3 cheers for mods 👏💜

[@texashorserescue3934]

Top Tier breakdown of a phenomenal album. I've been playing the hell outta it. But having your breakdown made me love it more. Excited to see what future brings for BTS and each member

[@zues0337]

Jhope playing with triplets is probably the BEST I've heard so far.

[@izzatys7037]

Jhope is prime definition of an excellent hip hop artist. As a listener it would be a lie if you cannot sense the level of effort, love, and passion he always puts to his works. I am fascinated with the flow of the whole album, it well put together from the message, music, rap and storyline. He share how he got his name (Pandora box), the passion that he have (more & arson), his vision (future), his worries (what if, safe zone), the deep meaningful message (= sign, stop) - basically the entire songs got me so fire up. Thank you Knox for the reaction I especially like when you said the reason you can dissect the album well is because the amount of quality Jhope have poured into 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@sr_ian]

"Equal Sign" reminded me of "Where is The Love?" so much. The message and the beat was a good reference/shout out. Love the song, but at the same time it saddens me to know that after all these years, we're still dealing with the same issues 😕

[@aarceeandtannies2217]

Yes! I thought I was the only one thinking abt this...Hobi used the melody of "Where is the love?" by The Black Eyed Peas w/c also talks abt DISCRIMINATION but the POV was stating the problem. With "= (EQUAL SIGN)", HOBI GAVE AN ANSWER. 😭🔥💜

[@yukifoxdemon]

@@aarceeandtannies2217 I immediately thought of the song when I heard it!

[@Funtan_Sonyeondan]

I was just thinking of that song last night.. i love both songs... Where Is The Love? is one of those songs that made me vibe with rap and also made me picky to what songs I should listen to these days because of the lyrics

[@quicklyday43]

I think he used this melody of "Where's the love?" Because it was like telling us the problem of this world, like a giving us a math question which is why Hobi give us his Equal sign(which means his Answer on this Problem) He responded back by using the same melody of Where's the love

[@Mari4Mari4]

TREAT PEOPLE WITH KINDNESS by Harry Styles, those two songs just gives me HOPE 💜

[@annna_idd147]

This was totally unexpected from HOBI but it felt like it’s so him even tho it was the first time we are seeing this side of him musically and visually . It made me believe that hobi can make anything his own and he can master any kind of genre easily, he is truly an ARTIST the album overall was a masterpiece and it gets better every time I listen to it

[@jelalejanaabubakar7860]

Jack In The Box needs to be played in order. It really does something. What a journey! 47:21 that's exactly him, he's a sweetheart with a deep love & gratitude for hip-hop 🥺 whenever I listen to him in his vlives, watch him dance freestyle, behind the scene clips, vlogs- he humbles me. And the way he carries himself as the dance captain so patient and professional when on-stage. He's one hell of a guy. His music speaks for itself on who he is, he's a genuine good guy (sunshine if you will) The golden hyung indeed. He's a true ace. He can do anything so well!!! He joined as a dancer, learned rap/songwriting/producing/singing/acting/etc for fun, & now he's the greatest dancer in the world (I mean dancing plus his musicality?? what a powerful combination that he can move his body and turn a song into his own choreography, with godly *precision* and control), one of the main musical pillars/songwriter/composer of the biggest boyband in this decade, besides making his own brand in the rap genre- his vocals are not lacking as well, his personality is that of a sun with empathy that is so infectious he just shines so brightly, he's the greatest listener and someone you can truly rely on (RM, the leader of BTS acknowledge that J-hope is the second leader, he handles the performance & mood so well) but he never once boasted anything about it. It took him for Jack In The Box to release for him to say it outloud to us, that he is great and it shows from where he's standing now and he'll continue to do even better. I'm just so proud of him. I'm truly grateful for this album. I was born to stan j-hope and he's the light my soul needed. He's amazing ^♡^

[@stacybrenton5482]

Tell me how you really feel! Haha - just kidding - I couldn't agree more.

[@maar6717]

Love your comment, so true ❤️

[@UserFeb18]

You said everything I wanna say. Thank you and he is my ultimate bias too. So proud of his accomplishments. Real gold withstands the testament of flames and he proved it. No one can press him down.💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@lucytipler7878]

Oh think someone said but j-hope is kind of a beat boxer too. Well maybe not professionally but he is damn good at it! He’s a very flow-rhythm type of soul. And as a person, man he’s a ‘battery charger’ as Suga has said. He always picks people up and projects that positivity. I think he really needed to talk about how it’s not possible to be that person 24/7 and that’s why this album is so personal and brilliant!

[@218hope]

Yes, in an old video jhope did beatbox while jin freestyling. It was kinda like a game show but hobi showed his skills

[@taechwita5979]

Nah man got so much respect for you! I love your lives but I’ll admit sometimes I get a little nervous if it’s BTS. Not because of you but because where they go assholes follow and it can ruin things. But you said your shit and this was maybe my favourite BTS live you’ve done! You had so many people watching too and the vibe was good and all about music! I hope saying that wouldn’t put you off BTS anyway as you know how hard I stan haha. But you said the absolute right shit! It’s your live, your space and you protected that. Man this was awesome. Thank you so much!

[@timsonepiece309]

Bro that's the best news that you'll keep reviewing BTS/the rappers on the main! It's clear that they are trying to move away from the Idol industry and do things their way (that's what they've always done) and anyone who is serious about music can see that they grew 'beyond' Kpop (however you want to view Kpop) years ago. This was an amazing live, j-hope started this new chapter off with a bang. I loved how you interpreted the lyrics too! I know it must be so hard trying to keep up with lyrics, chat and the idiots lol but I'd definitely recommend revisiting the Stop lyrics in your own time - very up your street! Especially when he's talking about how he can't believe humans can do such awful things but should he go back to basics and approach it by looking at the environment they're living in, the education system etc. It's just opening people's minds to more understanding of others, I love that message and in Equal Sign and What If!

[@a.k.a.b-hope1088]

Another great album review and my applause to your freestyle rapping. My favorite on the album is definitely = especially love Hobi's singing vocals. Fun facts if you didn't know, the Korean word for arson, banghwa, has a double meaning of both arson and also prevention of fire which plays into his lyric as well so in the Korean language the meaning of the word changes according to the context of the sentence. This album was definitely 🔥

[@tracydowd4013]

I watched the other stream before hopping on this one. You and I have the same favorites. ARSON and Equal Sign. I think Safety Zone and More are up there as well. I also love his intro Pandora's Box. I would love to yell that chorus as a fan chant at Lollapalooza, but I think that other ARMY's will have to do that and give J-Hope the love he deserves. 💜

[@donnasoria90]

Omg you were so awesome to watch ! Yeah I agree this is J-HOPE going back to where he started . I also said and yes some didn’t like it but I said this 1 week after being introduced to BTS is that J-HOPE must go solo in order to grow !!! He must be allowed to be a grown up like they are asking in thier last couple songs BTS came up with . I am sooooooo Happy he finally is show he is a grown up and went solo . FINALLY !!!! NO Stopping J- HOPE ! His mix in 2018 went no. 1 in 68 countries broke records and he is now breaking his records !! But any way you were extremely awesome to watch thank you 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🇺🇸

[@previaxxi_desu]

J-Hope's 'Jack in The Box' is his love letter to hip-hop and storytelling. I love the conscious messages ("Equal Sign" is a true standout) and the two different sides to the LP (Plus that Ol' Dirty Bastard sample is brilliant) a tweet by Jeff Benjamin.

[@TheTayuna]

I admire your channel, the way you express yourself and above all, that you have put haters in their place: it is your channel, it is your live, it is your safe space and it is perfect that you make yourself respected. On the other hand, I love this CD. I think the lyrics are the highlight of the entire production!

[@craydye93]

You are amazing at breaking down lyrics! And that freestyle was 🔥. My top three favorites are also = Equal Sign, Arson and Future!! But ofc all of them are phenomenal and you did an amazing job going deep into the meanings of each of them! 👏🏻

[@lucytipler7878]

FREESTYLE WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD! You killed it!!!

[@katiemangum5051]

Equal Sign has been submitted for a new category in the Grammys-Social Change. How great for this song to become an Anthem for change. His message will spread-trophy or not. Thank you for the detail to this man’s remarkable lyrics and musicality.💜☮️

[@callmesamsam]

Knox always brings his A-game when unpacking BTS’ music. I am for you (and us!!!) and all the new content you’ll share with us. 💜

[@ChiP-30]

Fun livestream! J-hope pulls those amazing pockets because of his background as a dancer, I think. It really shows how he can dance around the beat then applies it to his rapping.

[@slavestoitall]

Yo Knox, will you be checking out hope's lollapalooza set possibly? It was fckn crazyyyyy, you gotta check it!!

[@HailToTheMeep]

I started watching Knox Hill when he was first introduced to BTS not long before I did. So glad to see how MUCH the channel has GROWN. Here is to millions more subs for him. QUESTION: Is the music videos of the album he is watching only available through PREMIUM?

[@HailToTheMeep]

@Dylan Thank youuuu. They are up on Bangtan TV now I think?

[@lucytipler7878]

Thank you for trusting me as a mod 😂 I had an amazing time! I hope you don’t think it’s stupid to say but oh my god I’d cease to exist if you ever had a collab with any of the rapline. Just imagine your lyricism mixed with each of their strengths! I really hope J-Hope sees this! He saw Fontana’s reaction earlier so hopefully he finds yours too 🙏🙏

[@jensknows8215]

So happy to listen to this album for the first time with you. Another great breakdown and KnoxHill certified!

[@carolfreisleben7848]

This is my first time watching your show and I am sooooooo impressed by your expertise, knowledge, breakdowns, etc. I love JHope, I love his new album, and you just helped me to appreciate it even more. Thank you!!!

[@JOELMAMUNIZ97]

J-hope album is absolutely amazing 🔥💜💜💜💜I'm very proud of him ❤❤

[@Anne-yw9kg]

Jhope, burn 🔥 the stage with his ARSON in Lollapalooza

[@mmcecilia]

thanks for loving our hobi and always giving me a new perspective on music!

[@butterbuttersbetter3689]

I didn’t manage to catch you live but thanks for posting this, Knox. I was hoping but not expecting you would do an album reaction- you are the reactor I respect the most for full breakdown of every aspect of the music. Today didn’t disappoint (fire freestyle and loved the bonus snap at the spam trolls). Borahae💜

[@Elisawood_]

This is my first time on this channel and I must say this is the best break down I’ve seen so far. You know what you are doing. Good job

[@jeanettasheehy3018]

I wasn't shocked and surprised like most ppl when hearing this album...to me it was a natural progression....

[@coleyblossoms1051]

Every time I hear Arson, it gets more and more fire 🔥🔥just like your freestyle, we ain't sleeping on that! Thanks for reacting to Hobi's new album, you're the best at picking out the meanings that people normally don't catch!

[@hobipalooza8563]

Any Knox Patreon members here that can tell me if he's reacted or planning to react to j-hope's Lolla set?? I kept thinking Knox would love this so wondered if it's something that might happen on there? Want to join the Patreon this month anyway Knox but I wondered about this 💜

[@dingdong9884]

Thank you so much! This was amazing. I knew it’d be a great breakdown. I had to shoot off about half way through so looking forward to watching the rest later! 💜

[@trojanbutter7814]

I literally just wanted to say the same as the person below me 😂 Suga-biased people absolutely take no shit and I love that 😂😂 Knox you were amazing, thank you!

[@kiburzcookies]

Pleaseee react to Rush Hour! It comes out on Sept. 22nd! It will be an amazing collaboration with Crush and j-hope!!!

[@Rkive71]

THANK YOU KNOX FOR THE REVIEW I WAS WAITING FOR IT🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jay-tu5jb]

j-hope has a new collab with Crush coming out on Sept 22 6PM KST ! its called "RUSH HOUR"!! PLEASE REACT TO IT!!!

[@kthsantisaresuckingmydick.748]

we need more of the sub vocalist's hobi!! he only in a few songs shows this talent, because mostly are grupal songs and the vocal line has its place in that. ))): yoongi also has a beautiful voice! in the map of the song KARAOKE that they made he shows it singing 'The Truth Untold' with hobi.💜

[@UserFeb18]

Actually the whole rap line has amazing vocals. I listened to RM’s album indigo and Suga as well. The rap line is the life line for BTS. Maknae line is amazing too. But rap line does all the songs writing, and managing the group.

[@whatishappiness3423]

Thank you for your reaction!!!! I really like how detailed you were about the sounds and meaning of the song. Thank you!

[@laiscondutta4081]

I REALLY loved your reaction and analysis, I already knew Hobi is so smart and talent but with yours comments about the lyrics and techniques I am totally speechless, I love this album, so much more now, thank u !

[@JCfamily6741]

Thank you for your great review. And understand so well the album and Hobi as rapper and artist …. Certainly one of the best album reaction online now …

[@alinehand]

I love your reactions about J-Hope. I will follow you, because of your different and funny view. I love it. And give support for our J-Hope. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@linda8595]

I only can find some few reactions for the full album, one is yours, one is DJ Jino. Yours style are total different. You focus on lyrics and meaning, he focuses on melody, beat and rap without many pauses during his listening, always comments after whole song ended. I love you both. Thanks for reaction. :)

[@stacybrenton5482]

Hobi's voice in Safe Zone is one my favs I've ever heard.

[@sinevins]

What a great album review, a awesome freestyle, just love the way you think about certain things, and how you can put them in different perspectives. Thank you again, and I hope your music video turns out amazing!

[@elinapsychcyphers]

Now you got a big fan!! Your freestyle was insane! And Jhope’s album is a masterpiece!

[@priyasingh-rr9kr]

8:51 Yoongi's stan y'all ✋😌

[@tessacurri9846]

I miss most of your lives because of time zones and work but I love watching them afterwards nonetheless. Never knew anything about rap & hip hop before I fell into BTS and got to know their rapline... thank you for these explanations, here and all the previous, I learn a lot with you... I love, love, love this album from j-hope and as I seen in other comments, it seems to get better with every listen... Thanks again for your reactions and teaching... best of luck with your own music too 🤞

[@traveler07]

한국인 아미로서 음악하시는 분들 리액션중에 가장 제이홉의 가사를 잘 이해하고 설명해주는 영상 같아요! 게다가 우연히 이분 덕에 what if에 나왔던 샘플링이 ODB 꺼라는걸 알았어요~ 지금까지 한 10명 정도의 호비의 full album 리액션 하는 영상들을 찾아 봤는데, 피아노소리 듣자마자 odb 라고 바로 말하는분 딱 2명 봤네요 ~ㅎㅎ 😂 굉장히 힙합에 대해 잘 알고, 많이듣고, 노력하시는 느낌을 받았어요~ 영상 리뷰 잘듣고 갑니다!(제가 영어 듣기는 좀 되는데 작문에 소질이 없어 ㅠ 한국어로 적고 가요! 요즘 유튜브 댓글 번역기가 잘 되니까 ^^;)

[@hysstill9455]

Wow, I loved the reaction, Knox! Thank you for your thoughts on Hobi’s album! I love hearing what you have to say about music and how you analyse it (ngl the first person I go to for an Eminem song breakdown is you) and I always get hyped when you react to BTS knowing how attentive to details and thorough you are with music (especially rap). It would be a delight for me to see you react to RM’s second mixtape (a playlist, as he called it) named Mono (he gets really philosophical and poetic in this one), as well as Suga’s second mixtape under his other name - Agust D (the name of the album is D-2). They approach some incredible subjects in them and I would love to hear your thoughts on their views about those subjects. I know you would enjoy it a lot! Thank you again for your reactions! I always appreciate your insight on music no matter the artist. I get so happy when I see people with knowledge in this domain post reactions and get deep into it bc it helps us fans understand and appreciate the work our artists do even more. Until next time, stay safe and healthy!

[@yukifoxdemon]

You did miss a small part of Stop's message! It's not just talking about how he can't comprehend what's going on in the world, it was him talking about not judging people based on one action you might see in the news. He says that people are a product of their environment, their upbringing, their social status, and are they really so different from him?

[@candicesmith-mackenzie6303]

Wasn't there for the live, but Wutang Clan ain't Nuthing Ta F' Wit. Loved his homage to ODB at Lollapalooza 💜🫰🏻🤟🏻

[@jeonshayronbts8946]

Loved so much ur reaction Knox amazing especially to our hobi..💜💜💜

[@darahope]

I really love your videos reacting to BTS. I appreciate that u take your time to analyze their music and give ur point of view and explanations💜

[@miriamnna4988]

Equal sign is one of my favorites in jhopes album 💜 Wow I love ur freestyle

[@abbym4865]

I loved this!!! You really get what he is saying in his music!! I love watching your reactions!! Knox, you nice keep going! ❤️‍🔥💜

[@elina786]

the whole album is so amazing, but My favorit track is Equal Sign.. thank you so much for the break down Knox, the whole thing is FIREEE 🔥🔥

[@ericweinman9447]

Thank you for upbraiding spammers. I rarely watch live streams of any reactor, even one as erudite as you, because the stream of commenters only interested in advancing their own interests and not interacting about the content the reactor is covering often takes over. Heavily graffitied neighborhoods rarely feel comfortable. A reactor who says I am not going to take it, this is my neighborhood, has my strong respect. A reactor with your ability to interpret an artist's intentions musically, lyrically or however sadly should never be put in a position to manage children. J Hope says "Stop" and I imagine you felt the same.

[@sai.maki93]

For anyone wondering who is behind the vocals on Safety Zone, it's Jaicko Lawrence😊 also great reaction Knox, your analysis and breakdowns always make me appreciate a song more hell even made me change my mind on 'What if'. Great work!! 💜

[@milkaaa251]

Hi, is it confirmed? Because when I heard this voice I immediately thought of Gsoul/Golden

[@dingdong9884]

I’m on my second watch because that is the standard with Knox’s breakdowns!! And if I didn’t say this on my other comment… OMFG THAT FREESTYLE WAS MENTAL!!! Literally this was me the entire time - 😮! I *think* from the lives I’ve seen (and I’m sure I’ve missed a few but I do try to watch every vid you put out) that was the best freestyle yet! It was brilliant! So much talent argh 🙌🙌

[@woodlands879]

Thank you for your full album review. I love how you dissect, analyse each song. You're my top reactor/reviewer . I always listen to you. Jack In The Box is amazingly beautiful.

[@scentofhumans9543]

Thank you so much! I had such a great time even with the few mishaps haha. Hope people find this second half okay!! 💜

[@rynnybyn205]

I have been WAITING on this one I'm so stoked

[@dingdong9884]

I just really loved this and I know people can be picky but you tick every box for me. You are so knowledgable with the flows, cadence and techniques and give so many new perspectives! And I also respect you a lot for saying what you did about BTS and their music. Especially the rappers who love hip hop so much; hip hop is their foundation of their passion for music. Whatever path they’ve taken or will take, that won’t change. I hope you can revisit the rappers older mixtapes too in full. This livestream was honestly so fun. Even with the spammers because fired up Knox was the best thing I’ve seen in ages, I loved it 😂 Thank you!!

[@beckyvdplaat4854]

my fav song from this album was Safety Zone and What If. those songs makes me feel like someone understands me somehow, a reason why i love bts

[@nicky920305]

Hobi is our Sunshine so I like how he brought it up on Safety Zone.

[@sundycy]

Respect dear friend. You are oh so talented. I enjoy your reactions but your own music too when i get across it. Bravo .!

[@cosmoshan2227]

Thank you for Hobi's song reaction So beautiful rap song I love Hobi's voice colors and Passionate dance He is the best talent ❤❤❤❤

[@jact4572]

Loved your reaction! Jhope is pure talent. Can’t wait to hear his collab, Rush Hour, with Crush dropping this week!

[@7isbestforworld296]

I love your breakdowns!! Thankq so much for this breakdown ❤️ and yess equal sign is THEE song!!

[@Nonefthem]

I was waiting so long 4 this, this is great👏

[@DeniseAlves91]

your breakdowns are always the best! thank you for the video

[@Indigo_gwen]

Another awesome breakdown Knox. Thanks so much for reviewing Hobi's album.

[@afreen0107]

The beats make me go crazy and im completely destroyed by the album.. 🔥 it's so fuckin fire and dope like our man jhope

[@moonchildc7514]

Me encantan tus reacciones Knox espero algún día reacciones a “Blue Side” también de J hope es una canción increíble

[@ajiseimei]

I couldn’t wait for your reaction and break down, thank you for doing this, you are the best.

[@leej676]

The voice on Safety Zone is Jaicko Lawrence. I could honestly ramble on about so many interpretations and theories I have about this album and even still, you gave me new thought trains to follow! And I’m so glad to have someone really go through his flows and voice control, because he really is so good and very easy on the ears! Definitely the second half turns more reflective after the interlude and I love the lyrics in Stop, reminding us all that it’s too easy to judge others for their actions without understanding them or their personal circumstances. Great analysis and very happy they’ll be staying the main channel haha! No seriously, thanks man!

[@jacquihicks8929]

Knox Hill 100% best reviewer BTS 100% amazing performers, singers, dancers, Jhope, Jack in the Box OMG 100% out of this world. Thank you Knox for all your brilliant BTS reviews with such great insight. Long may you continue.

[@stacybrenton5482]

Applause on the freestyle. Impressive Knox!

[@JC-en7rm]

Forgot to leave my comment! Fantastic live Knox. Thank you! I think ‘Stop’ is my favourite for the message and flows. Where he talks about what you see in the news and not judging people for their upbringing and education etc, reminds me a little of what Tom tries to say in some of his songs - but obviously in a lot less ‘controversial’ way 😅

[@rajeshthorve4629]

#HeyKnox I am really sorry for what happened in the live...Didn't do that intentionally...I am going some tough time these days man...Really Sorry, for what happened...that was my mistake...BTW Thanks for introducing me to J-HOPE...He is fire...

[@7isbestforworld296]

Oh God knox the free style was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@crizamgb]

THE FREESTYLE! That's so fcking good, Knox!

[@nicoleduvalle1570]

Amazing job as always, thank u for your reaction

[@tovekauppi1616]

J-Hope went to IUs (massive Korean singer) show for an interview and also did some performances with her. They did equal sign together and it was spectacular.

[@timsonepiece309]

Very excited for you about the collab! Can't wait to find out who that is!

[@jenny152075]

Wow great review! Such detailed n honest review

[@notcaseykasem5702]

Knox you are dope AF! Love your BTS reactions and your own music too, big fan of petty Knox as well- go get 'em baby!

[@seanmilk]

No words could describe how much i enjoyed your review on Hobi's album. Despite it being long, I'm definitely gonna watch it a few times to fully inhale everything. Thank you so SOOO MUCH Knox for the long review despite your hectic schedule and thanks for making our day 💜💜💜

[@mae__]

As always quality breakdowns

[@basu07.23]

It was an amazing reaction and point of view

[@slavestoitall]

I think 'Stop' is my favourite! Just love the topics he's talking about because let's face it, the world is a mess right now lol. The Korean translation of the title for 'Stop' is actually 'There are no bad people in the world' and I think the police arrest recordings in the mix really add emphasis to what he's trying to say. Thanks for one of the best streams I've been a part of, you were amazing with your analysis! Sucks about the spammers but you sorted them out alright haha!

[@katiemangum5051]

Please react to Lollapaloosa 2022. Mind still blown by JHope Live.

[@MrCaroo1]

I REALLY LOVE THIS FULL ALBUM REVIEW

[@chainedsilent6255]

Great review Knox. No surprised with the bars btw keep spitting.
