[@beccacullison3594]

I think Bobby let her know that he's her bias now🤣 I love it🥰 this happens to me sometimes

[@Vicemir]

Interesting fact: Bobby said he also wrote this song for himself, to tease and nudge himself up when he's in the low spirit, like "aah are u crying, cuz u can't do anything?:))" to get up and start conquering whatever hardship is there xD But also, like with kids, for everyone who need some strength and energy to face their bullies/haters, to feel they are stronger than them.

[@leahera2321]

YOURE HERE ^^

[@chatnoir60609]

Thank You!! yes I saw his conversation with a group of kids, so cute how Bobby was encouraging them to be strong and to not get affected by bullies, plus playing video games with them, is was like therapy for these kids, Bobby is such a pure soul.

[@princessconsuelabanana-ham2480]

She went through an experience i love her 😅

[@ウッチー-b2u]

Actually the direct translation of 'U MAD' is 'Hey, you crying?' so it's kind of funny that Charlotte cried (sorry). He said in another interview that he wrote the song to himself when he was going through a tough time saying 'Hey you crying?' to motivate himself.

[@amorfatikhb]

i’ve been trying to watch every piece of lucky man promo, do you remember where this came from?

[@ウッチー-b2u]

@@amorfatikhb I think he said it in one of his radio schedules. YWF iKON Subbing Team have posted full eng subbed radio shows. Check them out!

[@geneva_yue]

@@ウッチー-b2u thank you very much!

[@listentobutyoubyikon1292]

Bobby is SUPER particular with his production. The vocals and production might sound raw at points but they are all intended. Bobby wrote, composed and produced all the songs in the album and his previous album. For U MAD, he specifically wanted engine sounds. Bobby said he looks for "fresh" and "unique" sounds instead of trends for his music. Devil took the longest to complete because he wanted a strong drumline so he played the drums and guitar himself. He also noted how he had rawer vocal delivery on purpose in Liar. It's also clever how he incorporated Morse code seamlessly in Raining (try to find and decode it). There are a lot of incredible things Bobby posses as a rapper, musician and artist but one of the things I love is his ability to produce music that really captures a certain feel like U MAD as Jason said. Another example is "In The Dark" because he wanted a song that has a feel of just before the break of dawn. Same with "Ur soul ur body" which evokes that soul-body connection that you can't help but body roll to, while your soul is being bathe with pleasure and adoration. Pretty much all his songs are like that. They have that musical integrity, creativity and versatility. Bobby is very talented.

[@gwenonken3174]

You took the words right out of my mouth. Bobby is pure artistry.

[@lilywinter9986]

Wow I love this mans but I didn't know half of that. Thx Comments like this make me realize how I too neglect certain groups even tho I like them more musically than other ones.

"violence is what sells, and that's the appropriation part but he's not, i don't think he's promoting violence, i don't think he's rapping about things that he hasn't gone through, he's talking about his experience." what she said its really important to understand.

AGREE! AND THE ALBUM? A MASTERPIECE.

U MAD is such a good song, his writing was marvelous to me, and yes I was also like "Get them", and I also love the song because I can relate to it.

[@kayajackson4033]

oh my god! BOBBY is here! BOBBY is one of the greatest rapper in korea! i mean he may not be the best for everyone but there is just something about bobby that you cannot see in any other idol. it's like NO ONE RAPS LIKE HIM!. thank you for reacting. He wasn't able to promote his album properly AGAIN but seeing a lot of people recognize his talent is enough!

[@baexolife7782]

considering how he’s still the only idol to have won show me the money... I think it’s at least safe to say he’s defo one of the best rappers on the scene, whether he’s to your taste or not 💕

[@rayhana.a.z6605]

The whole album is so amazing whoever reads this please give it a try it’s so artistic and well done

[@kayajackson4033]

true. He is a versatile artist!

[@alltimelow1440]

I know Bobby would be glad if he ever see this video!!

[@kayajackson4033]

I hope he do!

[@mina-vasic]

Thank you so much for such an interesting reaction!! I sincerely hope Bobby sees this because you guys put so much effort into explaining everything from the lyrics to the rhythm to his flow, and he deserves to see the love and effort and respect you put in (and to feel the love and effort and respect you guys give him)

[@Zaneyy030]

I feel like ever since Big Bang brought the hiphop/swag culture into K-pop, more groups have been making songs under the black community influence. Like Bobby's name is literally Bobby cuz he's a big fan of Bob Marley. DK had Tory Lanez as his phone wallpaper lmao. And Big Bang was heavily inspired by Omarion, Usher, Ne-yo. Missy Elliott. That's what brought the unique swag in before they developed their own style. We really can't deny that. Music style, fashion, dance.. Huge influence.

[@emoshrek8902]

Wait is the bobby's name thing true? I always thought that it was just his english name lol but that's really cool

[@emoshrek8902]

And, I'd argue that, even before bigbang the Black culture influences was there all along, let's not forget that seo taiji was a mainly hip-hop group.

[@kai-xc5dk]

I agree, and I think this is because black music has such a huge impact on the american music market, where 'pop' music was 'popularized.' Because kpop is a genre basically of lots of other genres mashed together and sung in korean, it's like that, i think. it's honestly pretty incredible

Their reactions were so great to see)) Thanks! And yes, Bobby said the whole album is about experiencing the emotions of a young person, he put a storytelling in all tracks and skits, I absolutely love it, listen to "Lucky Man" from track 1 to 17 in order to feel the story! (Reading lyrics will help too :D) Bobby truly made it interesting for you guys with all the sounds in U MAD xD I love how shocked and confused they are that this all can work together with the purpose :D

Bobby is exceptional. He is unmatched. He rises under any circumstances. Even during the most difficult moments of his life, he still outperforms everyone. His talent is no joke, he is born to be on stage, and no one can fight me on this. I'm truly thankful and emotional that you guys decided to do a reaction for his music video. Thanks a lot!

[@vanessarl8]

I'm pretty sure he said the meaning too was telling HIMSELF why was he mad to his past self, and in the video you also see he is playing 2 versions of himself so yep :3

I was curious as to how the classical crew would react to U MAD and I’m so happy with the reaction. Bobby is an amazing rapper as well as a singer, song writer, producer, etc. He’s also the co-producer of iKONs why why why. Please check out his album LUCKY MAN. It’s amazing as well as his other album, Love and Fall.

If there is perfect pitch in music, Bobby is an example of having perfect rhythm. His mastery with it is phenomenal.

[@mmmk6793]

People like to pretend ikon is bad as an excuse to hate the members even when they consistently perform better then most of their peers lmao

[@yourambitioniskey]

Bobby always stuck me when he produced this style of music. Something about it always came off so natural and strong to the ears. Typically I don't like this kind of loud harsh music but the way Bobby delivers it makes me forget completely. The way he drops the beat, , the rhythm and the flow of his rapping, the breaks in between and the amazing chorus. He never disappoints!

[@greysrockinme]

Yesss, ive been waiting for this. I clicked as soon i saw the notification :) This song is exactly what i wanted to see from Bobby because ive been missing hip-KON so much.

[@susansheldon2033]

I've heard rappers use drummer vocabulary. In the pocket = on the beat, on top of the beat = before the beat, behind the beat = just like it sounds. Bobbie raps on the beat, but rides behind the beat as well. That's his flow.

[@yashitathoudam2062]

i'm so gut-punched level mind-blown about how they manage to talk in definitions(???) like especially here, 5:20 how does he manage to sound like he's reading off a paragraph from a textbook while also sounding like he's just speaking things in his mind like what?
