Classical Musicians React: BLOCK B 'Nillili Mambo' vs 'Her'

[@saltytsukki4232]

HER will always be a classic kpop jam I will always listen to

[@nouhaila4764]

daegu panda soo true 😍😍

[@kyuribou5869]

I can't spend a week without listening to Her.

[@sintakrisna5784]

BOPs all time. Like you just cannot ignore HER. I'm in love with them since their debut era, all their songs are bops

[@miriam8578]

daegu panda I wouldn't call it "classic", but yeah, I get your point. Even though I might be in the "My jam is Nilliri Mambo" team.

[@angelicbin1713]

TRUTH HAS BEEN SPOKEN

[@ElspethGordie]

And Block B is such a strong group. They've gone through so much with their old company and the fact they've remained as 7 and are still going strong for many years is amazing.

[@lauraadams161]

True

[@iriaperezcastro1199]

Yes i love this group

[@suiannyguimaraes3118]

Yes, it was the same with BAP, them and Block B inspires me so much, people should appreciate them more

[@tinmanlobster]

ouch

[@ifizzlesizzle1]

This hurts me now

[@drecellthealive8912]

The "Nillili Mambo" song and MV were inspired partially by Vietnamese music (also what you hear in the beginning, before the song starts), partially just a pirate aesthetic and partially by the anime One Piece (the boys are fans). It's all really just one big troll song that ended up being good, and we love it.

[@drecellthealive8912]

Yup. Because it's Block B, and Block B is the definition of weird.

[@Amal3100]

THEY'RE ONE PIECE FANS? i knew ukwon was but not all of them omg do you have proof?

[@drecellthealive8912]

Amal I think they all are, definitely Zico and Kyung (they talked about it), and when they went to Japan (cant remember which era, I think Tell Them), they got stuck in an anime store because they were debating about buying OP figurines and a Chopper plushie.

[@saga2828]

I take it very seriously and I love it.

[@lrose1310]

Isn't it filmed in Vietnam? I saw writing on the wall that looked Vietnamese.

[@ElspethGordie]

Block B is one of the most unique kpop groups. I've always been drawn to them. They're not afraid to do their own thing and go totally crazy with their music and mvs. They're a really special group to me and I love them so much.

[@gsashasl]

Zombii Pie i agree, especially nowdays it’s pretty hard to find kpop music like block b style (which i love!!)

[@kyuribou5869]

And definitely one of the best live bands. Zico is for me the best idol composer ever.

[@sintakrisna5784]

I love their stuffs since debut.

[@qa_raidah]

yesss theyyy slayyy everything❤❤

[@diplaielignay1180]

Same i loved them from the first time i saw them❤️

[@saltytsukki4232]

Block B the coolest kidz on the block 😎

[@codmouse13]

legit

[@fake._]

Block B is probably my favorite boy group. I love the last 2 songs they released "Yesterday" and "Shall We Dance". Top quality music every comeback.

[@sanxsana3270]

Fake an intellectual

[@buzz9904]

YES

[@fake._]

[Lori is my DPR bias] lol. My bad

[@jrmy__]

I agree. I love their latest releases than their old stuffs. But HER and Be The Light were still my jam and Tell Them is a good motivational song too! And my most favorite song from them is Toy :) it is my #1 song of 2016. Just sharing :)

[@ElspethGordie]

Block B are the kings

[@angel31620]

i legit workout while listening to nillili mambo and Nalina lmao

[@Kai-chow]

Nalina is such an underrated bop and I still do the little gorilla movements to the song 😂

[@potatocat2445]

YASSSSSSSSSSSSs

[@bpjs6273]

Same bruh😂

[@Orion_TheyThem]

SAME. And Zero for Conduct. I also listen to a lot of the bangers from BigBang, GD and Taeyang, 4Minute, BTS, and BlackPink. 😂😂😂 K-pop is legit perfect for working out.

[@sensirius1710]

Nillili Mambo will always be one of my most memorable KPOP songs because it was their first release after their year hiatus when they debuted in 2011! They got into a very insanely stupid controversy that led to Zico shaving his head and the group members formally apologizing for their silly actions, which was completely uncalled for. When all the BBCs thought Block B would disband and everything would be over, they released Nillili Mambo and it was just such a great thing.

[@keisha2120]

wow..... didn't expected this. but Yes!! Block B!!!

[@nakosforehead6662]

BLOCK B CAME AND TOOK THEIR WIGS

[@joeyokech3392]

유기현 -- hahahahahahah snitch it 😂👌

[@IllaLuna17]

Block B is the type of group you looove because of how weird and unique their music and their style is. or you will be weird out because they are so different.

[@LSP_-yj8vk]

Haha every time Zico's rap comes on everyone is shooketh

[@SE0KMINe]

Zico is a GENIUS!

[@amornoctis9892]

Melissa Lois Buenafe Actually Kyung is a genius

[@SE0KMINe]

AMOR NOCTIS they both are 💖

[@amornoctis9892]

Melissa Lois Buenafe Yeah I guess :D

[@itseunhye267]

I love that he mentioned all the rappers and not just Zico! All the rappers in block b are really good

[@1412SAX55]

ItsEunHye saaame, noticed that as well!

[@jinwoah9031]

Ahh I understand what the girl was saying about getting rid of the violins and brass but that's actually my favourite part of the song! (Also when he mentioned 'the whole group' when he was complimenting the rap I was so happy cause all of Block B's rapline are incredible and some of the best in Korea, Zico being the top sort of outshines Kyung and P.O sometimes, but they're all so incredible!!) I'm glad some of them liked it tho!!

[@RoxasMeatloaf]

yeah same I couldn't disagree with her more. i'm personally not a fan of trap music and i thought the instruments really made the song, i want more of this kind of style!

[@nakosforehead6662]

Kevin is me when i first listen to zico hahaha

[@twixxx0]

Nillili Mambo was so iconic when it came out because it was right after that huge scandal and all the fans spent 8 months pretty convinced that the group would break up and also have their individual personal and professional reputations forever. All that bombast to show that they were back and never changing their aggressive style.

[@protracteer7167]

I’ve been waiting for this reaction since your 5th episode ohmygha I’m so happy. Thank you, Umu. I’m glad Fiona liked the “Do U Wanna B? Block B!” thing cause it’s one of the best kpop group intro, imo. To Kevin, in case you’re interested, instrumental versions of some of their songs are released officially (like, not fan edits) so, um, give them a listen? Nillili Mambo is available, as well as HER’s. It’s really hard being a Block B fan cause you could feel the threat of disbandment lurking somewhere. Especially now, with Zico’s SNS black out. We’ll be seven years in this April 15, and we’ve only had one full album. Anyway, I hope you react to more Block B, as well as the member’s solo stuff and sub-unit stuff. To kpop fans, please give Block B some love! Give their music videos a watch/listen, and you might find something you’ll like. There’s some (un)helpful guide videos here as well. Thanks for reading this far!

[@sweetandpastel]

protracteer please dont.......

[@ICantThinkOfANameSVT]

protracteer same here! Block b is my baos group and is the first group I ever got into

[@lauraadams161]

Interesting, never thought of disbandment in regards of Block B tho

[@ICantThinkOfANameSVT]

Laura Adams I understand since Po said they were planning on making a big change in the next year

[@shzzznttt21]

maybe they are preparing for their army duties (since most of them are in the right age to enter the army). but i hope that they will not disband because they are one of my favorite boy groups. :)

[@exexsa]

Now I want them to react to Very Good and Jackpot... And maybe Bastarz

[@rion9236]

Stephie Kim they will react to bastarz, it's on the list.

[@nifelicio7752]

Oh yeah! These two, please!!!

[@ElspethGordie]

Ok but Nillili Mambo is one of my favorite kpop songs/mvs of all time. And can we talk about how cool/badass Zico looks with his dreads and Marilyn Manson contact? Literally living for that look omggggg

[@s.s.9867]

Zombii Pie SAME

[@zoeorr447]

Block B's mv's never get old for me, especially Nillili Mambo they all looked badass

[@eggfrittata]

I don't know about you but bowl cut is best cut

[@clau6023]

SAME! it was one of the first kpop songs i heard and i still love it so much, i can never get tired of it

[@internetpotato6734]

YESS OMG, every once in a while I just have to go back and watch it again. It's one of my all time faves. I miss Block B big time

[@sweet7655]

" When Block B does rap- " " Oh Zico. When the whole group or just..." " *Just the whole group* " get that haters, Block B's rapline isn't just Zico. We have Kyung and Jihoon

[@lolwtf9267]

Sweetcel S Block B has the best rap line. Period.

[@glowlydays]

He meant it. Can see why. With dedicated rappers and fan of indie rap they know what theyre doing musically speaking....... Am 1 blessed BBC

[@realist4418]

i wish kyung got more credit, or, opportunities to show off his flow (personally i love his diction and flow the best). the past few years has been good to him because of problematic men and his solos and collabs, but block b isn't just zico, you know? that said after zico's left the group is unfortunate, but that was the truth until zico left right?

[@sweet7655]

@@realist4418 Zico didn't leave Block B. He just left the company. He said it himself.

[@realist4418]

@@sweet7655 yes you're right, sorry. I meant the company. I still find it unfortunate, because zico's the leader and main producer for the group, right? kyung is more than capable of taking over, but I'm unsure as to how newer songs will be released.

[@웅아-q2t]

A few years later Shall we dace Don't leave Toy

[@charmanemaigting3332]

홍지웅 PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

[@nassimbenhadid1467]

yeaaaaaaaaaah!!!

[@jinwoah9031]

I have been waiting for a Block B reaction for like a year now lmao I'm so excited!!! I'm gonna thank you in advance for even reacting to them because I think I've commented far too many times asking for it lol, I don't even mind if they all hate them at least it's finally happened :")

[@mp4jas]

yEs i love how there was a huge contrast to show how versatile they are

[@devakibhagwat6146]

Yaaaas Zico is probably my favorite rapper in kpop Mostly because of how he plays with rhythm while rapping... It's so fascinating!

[@ouijaboar]

Nilili Mambo was the song that made me first think "I should listen to more stuff from this group", it's one of my favorite songs, I love the symphonic instrumentals. I don't really listen to hip hop music but I think Zico is super talented - before Block B he was an up-and-coming underground rapper so some people were surprised that he debuted as a member of an idol group. A couple fun facts about the title "Nilili Mambo" 1) nilili 닐리리 is an onomatopoeic word that mimics the sound of a wind instrument, and 2) there is an old song from the 1950's with the same title.

[@AaROnYAnRox]

o m g there are so manyyy amazing block b songs. i especially love the blooming period album with "toy" and "a few years later"

[@arandano_lotto]

Omg, I never clicked a video that fast XD (BBC here ^-^) (pd: Great video! :3)

[@rolita0001]

I know! This video just came out of nowhere and I have never been so happy 😂

[@AliErianeOfficial]

Carlota Pérez same! Lol i was wait what? Block B?

[@agustd3326]

BBC 💜

[@julisamay]

Oh man I always LOVE seeing people's reactions to Block B's stuff, especially the difference between pre and post company change. I would also have loved to see their reactions to Jackpot or Very Good. And also maybe the subunit BASTARZ.

[@vickycify]

Finally is block b time :) love ya

[@kara2125]

nillili mambo is literally a masterpiece the vocal line is constantly changing, the little adlibs and sound effects, the rapping of course, the use of orchestra ugh that song literally FUCKS! i almost wish they didn't watch the video so they wouldn't get distracted from how gorgeous the song is

[@honelights]

YES BLOCK-B INDEED DESERVES MORE ATTENTION

[@lauri810]

Thank you so much for reacting to Block B, they are one of my favorite groups! Their music never disappoints. Nothing about the songs feel out of place, it is amazing, you can see they really care about the music they release. Plus gotta say I never get bored of their songs, no matter how much I listen to them!

[@amberrichard8874]

FINALLY

[@odp1993]

i click like before finish watching edit after watching: kevin : talk too much about rapp and finally said "I'm a fan".. YASSSS DUDE!!! Yall must react more to ZIACOO!!

[@28nagkun]

They need to see the Show Me The Money videos and performances. There are some amazing rap performances there and the music is typically composed by the judges.

[@lauraadams161]

Thank you for appreciating Block B, they are for me one of the most prominent groups on Korean music scene, maybe not as known internationally, but they are absolute talent

[@TheMadnessClub]

These guys would go crazy with Jackpot tbh, they would love it!! Also Be The Light, omg you need to react to these two!

[@gaby5254]

I think they NEED to react to Zico's Anti.

[@jinwoah9031]

omg yes pleasee

[@monicarojas2732]

Gaby zico's Pride and prejudice too

[@livlaughloveanime]

Block B's songs and music videos are always so fun

[@kyuribou5869]

The day Kevin fell in love with Zico the genius rapper. 😍😍😍

[@livlaughloveanime]

Block B has the best rap line in Kpop (in my opinion)

[@lolwtf9267]

Shimmie shimmie chogiwa No doubt.

[@ArDaImTa]

Don't Mess Up My Tempo agree!

[@brooklyn6290]

I love their rapline 🥰🥰

[@thiramshetty3421]

[@lilmeowmeowisfckingbadass636]

Yessss I love block b so much... Thank you for react to them

[@samsimpson2770]

UGH YES musically block b is my literal favourite group and this satisfied my entire life fr

[@heissocool94]

Watching Hugo is like watching me when I first time heard Nillili Mambo damn

[@ManonLcz]

I like to think of Her as a classic Kpop song you can't sleep on it, and Nillili Mambo is just so unique! I will never get bored of them

[@GandesRasyida]

BLOCK B YASSSSSSSS! FINALLY! Block B is LIT 🔥

[@jen_greatguys2721]

My BBC HEART IS HAPPY 🐝 Edit: P.O, Zico, and Park Kyung are all talented rappers..I mean they all started underground rappers with Mino and Mino was supposed to debut with them but stuff happen towards the end and he didn’t debut with them

[@noemsvl-2520]

I WAS WAITING FOR BLOCK B!!! OMG

[@helloctober15]

To be honest, i just really miss Block B and B.A.P oh god my boys deserve better

[@antha0321]

THIS! KPOP NEED BIGBANG BLOCKB B.A.P comeback.

[@saramaourouri7947]

Yess finally they got shooketh by zico’s rapping and block b ‘s uniqueness. Now i wanna see how they’d react to very good, or jackpot vs toy or yesterday.

[@leia6591]

I'm so happy, I fucking love Block B.

[@Ash2theB]

Just so you know blockb are so zany and underrated. Zico, in the interview part is actually saying Zico Zico nii..., they watch a lot anime so it comes from Love Live! Show and one of the girls who says Nico Nico nii meme... the BlockB is so artistic. They’re influenced by eminem and Big Bang but Zico like Drake and Jay-Z too. The Nilili Mambo song was made in the golden years so Trap wasn’t on the Korean Music radar just yet.

[@erikavirgen9687]

Finally!! YESSSS!! Thai you so much for this reaction vid! Block-B is my ultimate bias group, no matter what!

[@honeyoyey]

you guys should react to Block B - Shall We Dance and Block B - Don't Leave

[@HoratioAccel]

DUDE!!! I was looking for a reaction of this a while ago but you didn't have one and now you do!! Fuck yeah

[@QueenYanna18]

This is the very first kpop song i ever heard and I'm so glad tbh i would have never been this into it 5 years later if it was anything else lol
