"I'm not really a rap guy, personally." What I used to say before I found BTS.

[@LPnerd]

yeah me too, with the exception of a little eminem, and the musical Hamilton. Now I'm a ARMY .

[@isiseungella4688]

Same here. Listening to lyrics demeaning women, talking about drugs and violence is not my thing. But BTS has poetic content, social commentary, sharp comebacks and I love it. I wish I could understand all the subtleties though but grateful to those who translate and explain the cultural nuances to us.

[@mandeefarley1399]

Same. I don’t care for American rap.

60 yr old Army and i did and still do not care for most western rap, but BTS changed all that for me. Their messages are very meaningful. They started to help the Youth of their day and ended up impacting all ages. When you watch RM and Jimin interview for RM new album you will see that even currently they are still getting hate. Billboard changed the qualifications of their ranking system because of BTS. Suga at his concert last year before he would play the piano, and maybe guitar he would bang on the piano to show it was live, still 11 years later. Also, Suga visited Steve Aoki around 1 1/2 years ago and he has a wall of BTS and Suga thought he had just put up for his visit, no he has that much respect for the group. Aoki also has an indoor trampoline in his house they jumped on, it was nice to see Suga have fun and relax. Suggest On at Grand Central Station for the Jimmy Fallon show. Run BTS Live Busan concert. Psy That That ( feat & prod by Suga ( he also wrote , learned choreo and was in the mv) The Rose is another group: ILYSB, Back to Me, Sorry are just a few. Some reactors watch the color coded lyrics or dance practice first so that when they watch the live or mv they are not trying to absorbed choreo, lyrics, video. Or do all three. dance practices don't usually have lyrics. Did you see Jimin and Jk flying off the tables during Suga rap? They are usually worth watching 2-3 times just to see what was missed.

[@HPReact]

We did see Jimin and JK flying off the tables! We even highlighted that moment in our discussion after the MV.

TRUTH UNTOLD for vocal knock out

[@devamail1]

I’m always so dismayed when people see the 3 English songs first. They were lighthearted songs meant to cheer people up during the pandemic and get entry to the American music scene. Although they were great, most armies prefer their Korean work. I’m glad you got around to seeing Mike Drop!

[@reetatts]

The three English songs are the entry drug for so many new Armies. Don't worry, they soon move onto alllll their music as they go down the rabbit hole! 😂

[@KPapiSeoul]

There's a making of the Mic Drop MV where you can see most or all were real effects. The explosion was real.

[@lightefilit]

It is a diss track! The song is basically swaggering about their success to their haters. They do have simpler "on the surface" songs (especially if it's a hype or fun song), not everything has to be deep and complicated. I honestly prefer the original Korean version, but this one is a hype version, so I still like it too :D P.S.: it was a bigger than usual budget, several millions USD. But the hardest part was to secure permission to close down one of their major highways to Seoul to film this.

[@HPReact]

I felt it was pretty intricate myself!

[@0613samelove]

Steve Aoki also did a song with RM, Jungkook and Jimin titled 'Waste It On Me'. The Official MV for it is actually quite good even though it didn't have the boys in the video but rather several Asian celebrities including the popular comedian Ken Jeong. But the song is really good. Steve also produced the vocal line's beautiful song 'The Truth Untold' which was written by RM. Would love if you react to The Truth Untold.

[@mhecyeuh3080]

Mic Drop is BTS' response to their haters with a little flexing on the side spitting facts...lol. with Suga's epic lines "tasteless ratatouille" & "sue it". I recommend you check their latest live performance of Mic Drop from their Yet To Come Busan concert last October 2022 where it was attended by 70k live audience and was livestreamed by over 50M worldwide causing the apps to crash from time to time....but so worth it. You will feel the same energy. 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯 thanks for reacting to BTS.

[@aliceyoung4070]

Totally agree, you should watch with Run BTS. They performed them back to back. Live is amazing. You can only watch Run BTS live or dance practice, they currently do not have an mv, they performed right before Jin enlisted.

[@robertenck2423]

I wish that this was the first song and MV from them that I saw back in 2017, because when it happened in 2021, I became an instant fan. I missed four years! Instead I saw them do DNA on the AMAs, which I liked, but not nearly as much as Mic Drop. I also thought, “Okay, I usually do not listen to hip hop or rap, but THIS song and MV is straight fire. And since, I have come to really appreciate it much more. If you watch the background video, you will see how they made the scene in the darkroom with the super-slow motion. Soooo cool. They always have such great ideas, but then they execute them to perfection. As producers, you know how hard that is to do on a consistent basis. But they do it.

[@HPReact]

Straight fire... we agree!!!

[@Raynstor.m]

Not sure if anyone mentioned this to you but tomorrow 0602 is the start of BTS’ 2 week Festa celebration leading up to the 11th anniversary of their debut on June 13, 2013. They are dropping a poster tomorrow, there is a new song coming out, new music video and many other things. On the 13th, BTS anniversary, Jin will be hosting a 3 hour fan meeting in Seoul giving out hugs, hand shakes and gifts. Then later that night he will have a live stream on the Weverse platform for ARMY that are BTS membership holders. He will be performing special requests. It will last an hour. We are so excited Jin will be back in less than 2 weeks. 🎉 💜🫰

[@HPReact]

We had no idea! thank you for letting us know 🙏🏻

[@SophiaKilkis]

i really love the fact that when the music started u unconsciously start moving ur head with the bit..even more because u are not so into this type of music :)

[@HPReact]

It's catchy! What can we say :)

[@dominoglenrio5650]

The 3 English songs (Dynamite, Butter, Permission to Dance) came out during the pandemic, and were meant to be light and mood-lifting during that awful time. They didn’t write those 3 songs, thus they are very different to the complex lyricism we usually encounter in BTS’s own compositions. They aren’t Army’s favorite songs, but they served as an introduction to a wider English speaking audience who had been resistant to music in a foreign language. The songs achieved that goal.

[@dj4u827]

Their Korean and Japanese songs are so good. Their music encouraged me to start learning these languages to better understand the deeper meanings. It also taught me even more how as an american we are so unaccepting and lazy to learn other cultures.

[@stephaniegriffin7176]

You can't speak for all of ARMY. And yes I get that apparently a lot of ARMY supposedly don't like those songs.

[@Olivia-xf4gy]

Mic drop is one of my favorites!!! Such a great clap back to antis

[@HPReact]

This one seemed even more so as it was pretty direct. :)

[@virginiacampos5575]

I have to say when I discovered BTS, the Idol video was a recommendation. I was so drawn to RM, I actually look up his solo mixtape and videos first. There I was a 57 year old grandma, who hated all the rap she had heard before, binge watching this rapper who was a Korean “idol”. I watched all the BTS videos in the order they were released and then listened to all the albums in the same fashion. I am now a “silver army”, card carrying fan member. RM is my bias. V’s voice is my favorite to listen to, and my favorite song is Jin’s Epiphany. The lyrics to this song hit me so hard and cemented my love for this group. Now I am almost 62, all my coworkers knows I love the group. They buy me things or let me know they saw something. You guys fell down the rabbit hole. Welcome to the Army guys!!

[@jolippert397]

I love this version....Steve Aoki is the son of Benny Hanna, and yes he is a famous DJ. I have to usually watch 2-3 times their videos...one to just enjoy, second to read the lyrics and the again to enjoy even more.❤💜💜💜

[@KB-uj6qw]

Steve Aoki's family own Benihana restaurant but that isn't their name....agree with the having to watch 2-3 times to catch everything

[@HPReact]

that's very similar to our process as well. So much going on, but need to read as well. Definitely takes more than one sitting.

[@mandeefarley1399]

BTS started out as hip hop. They slowly added in more pop-like tracks until they found their sound. Butter, Dynamite, and Permission to Dance were vastly different than their usual stuff. They were written in order to cheer people up during the pandemic.

[@YusliaLena123]

[@skye9541]

I didn't listen or like raps until BTS. Their rap songs are different than the most rap songs I hear. Theirs are much more approachable and pleasant to hear and meaningful. React to House of Cards (vocal lines, live) and Outro Tear(rap lines, live) next, you will feel totally different vibes.

[@CP_LUVS]

Love your reaction. There is a 'behind' that shows more of the production, including the explosion and them trying to act chill and cool with it as nervous as they were for the loud bang LOL. Yes Steve is a famous DJ who pulls 50K-100K-ish level crowds to his shows. He is pretty famous for making it fun and there may even be food or water thrown into the crowd 🤣 They are so supportive of each other as artists and human beings. Steve also worked with them on 'The Truth Untold', which is a sad but beautiful vocal line song (no MV for it but there are performances). They also did 'Waste It On Me' together which is Steve's song which has a MV with an all Asian cast. It is too funny and such a chill but viby kind of song. Can't wait for the next reaction. Later!

[@OT7_DopeOldARMY]

I predict that the BTS rap line will make you a rap fan. They did me. I still don’t always like it because of the messaging, but I love BTS rap for the same reason - the messaging. Dynamite was in 2020. This was 2018. This actually did get some radio play, but you have to realize the utter intractability of the lion’s share of the US radio industry when it comes to playing any non-English language song. They just refuse to do it…even when the song is like half in English like this one is. In fact, even the BTS all-English songs have a hard time getting spins compared to songs by people Western acts. There is a recent interview by John Bellion talking about how the Jung Kook song he worked on last year (SEVEN) was the fastest song ever to get 1 BILLION streams (in 108 days, breaking the 112-day record of Miley Cyrus’ song Flowers), but it struggled to get radio play compared to Western acts with songs out at the same time. It’s honestly infuriating. Highly recommend d the Live performance of this - either in Seoul or at Yet to Come Busan (combined with Run BTS).

[@Sunset553]

I'm a rap girl since the 80s. I'm always looking for a strong danceable beat. This song was one of the big reasons I fell for BTS. It's a bonus for me that they can keep it clean. I've been dancing since I heard music, and I was way too young to hear the lyrics and themes of the music I would have been dancing to today. It's the same for many other kids everywhere. There are 3 year olds making the moves to these dis raps. Throw them a few clean songs; it's just my dream

Welcome Back!!! Hope you enjoyed your time off! Love Love Love this song. Watching a live performance is absolutely amazing! BTS is the reason I started listening to rap. I'm not a huge fan of it, but they made me more open to listening to it. Rapping in Korean just hits different to me. I find it more appealing, and their rap actually tells a story instead of talking about money and girls and drugs etc. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜. You should check out Agust D by Agust D.

Dynamite isn't really what introduced BTS to the west. Some have just caught up late into their discography. But there's plenty of time to get into it if you're interested. They make really good music with substance such as make you appreciate yourself better. If one chooses to look closely into their rap songs, one will be amazed at how relatable the songs are and actually can stir up one's senses and think about experiences and learn from it. BTS songs are more meaningful and has a lot of passion if one chooses to look into it. But no one really gets there if the mind delves on superficial aspect like spewing empty words. -53yrs old mom who is not a rap fan before i discovered BTS.

Well you not really a rap guy and personally for myself i don't like rap unless it's BTS. They're special. Lots of people hear dynamite and expect that sort of sound from BTS then realise they are actually more of a R&B/Hiphop group which also do other genres. I'm always pretty shocked when people think they're a pop group because it's the last thing i'd describe them as (not that i'm say you're saying that, just in general).

[@eileencritchley4630]

This is classic diss track 2 their many and haters and talking about what they already achieved. The Dynamite was a just a fun song to cheer people up in Covid they never expect that song to explode like it did.

[@phoenix3612]

The original has more Korean lyrics with the same beat, just not drum rolls etc. They were forced to make English songs to get radio play and soothe the feelings of the lazy people who won't adapt to subs and Closed Captions. As a long time ARMY I find this insulting since growing up I watched and sang "Feliz Navidad" and "Frere' Jacque" without any issues.
