Metal Vocalist - BTS - 'BAEPSAE Lyrics and Explanation REACTION

BTS is always like this, the funnier the song may sound, the more serious the song is actually.

[@vivalavtae9431]

The rapline does majority of production and writing of their songs but the vocal line does have their hand on many songs as well. The vocal line doesn't just play the part of vocals too bc most of them are part of the dance line as well. They all work very well together 💜 The perfect balance.

The funniest thing is that with BTS often their most hype or silly sounding songs will have these sort of deep social commentary or political messages. They try and include at least one such song every album. It’s the absolute most ridiculous hype song live, they add in a lot of hip thrusts to signify the “swollen crotch” and …. It is very crowd pleasing that they are telling the people in power to Fuck off while aggressively hip thrusting driving fans wild in a political song. It makes me die laughing every damn time and this is always a top 5 most requested by fans song. It’s a great one to do early in your BTS journey because they use “crow tits/Baepsae” in other songs like “Not Today” (another political song that uses a quote from Martin Luther King, great MV super duper hype song). They also use the idea of the give up generation in the song Dope. Crow tits! Lol. They are so cute.

[@JohnReavesLive]

LOL!!!!!! I love that! I would be rolling if that happened at a live show I went to!

[@suzy7645]

Crow-tit is the little baepsae bird in Korea. The word “tit” is old Norse or English for bird. Crested tit and Titmouse are other bird species.

[@JohnReavesLive]

lol I really didnt even think about it in bird language until an embarrassing amount of time later LOL but I didn't know it had Norse roots, thank you for the info :)

[@whatever_itis]

1:49 I understand what you mean. I wouldn't say who is bigger than who, but clearly rapline is the foundation of BTS. A lot of their songs are hit thanks to them, including their in-house producers. They have the most produced songs among the members as well. All members of the rapline are full members of the Korea music copyright association while the vocal line members are associate members. If you see the tracklist for the new come back, even for just CD1, RM is credited 18/19 songs. Each member of the rapline has over 100+ songs credited to them. So yeah.

[@JohnReavesLive]

Great to know! and for sure wasn't trying to diminish their work on the songs by any means just felt like a very familiar song structure to me with the rap in the verse singing in the chorus and I loved it!

[@alipotter0613]

You should react to BTS Room Live. This is them singing snippets of their songs from various albums. It is only short but has become an ARMY favourite. You hear their live vocals and their variety of styles, just as a taster to lure you in!💜

[@nathalykim1263]

the rap line does write most of bts' lyrics and do more production, but they're not a bigger part of the group, with bts we give a lot of importance to equality, so all 7 are equally important in their own way in earlier songs bts was a more hip-hop oriented group, so the songs were more heavy on rap nowadays they lean more into pop so the vocal line actually has more parts now, although it varies a lot depending on the genre that they go for i think one of the biggest reasons why bts is so successful and stayed together for so long is that they know when it's a certain member's time to shine and they don't mind giving the spotlight away and not being the ""main character"" at that moment, because **there is no main character** like, RM has written a lot of iconic solo songs for other members and he just gives them to the others cuz he knows it's gonna fit them and because they are a group, you know what I mean? you're probably gonna see it in the future, but he wrote singularity for V and serendipity for jimin, which are staple songs for these members, for example also, it's not only about songwriting, there is also the dance line, which is jhope, jimin, jungkook and V, they also have a big role in the group and sometimes have break dance when they get the spotlight Jin and V are also actors, and they have been crucial to the bts universe, for example another aspect of bts a unit, almost every kpop group that I know does individual sponsorships for members, meanwhile bts only does sponsorships or partnerships with all seven members together I believe that creates a much more healthy relationship and environment between the members, they also even shared social media accounts, it's only of 2021 that they first got individual instagram accounts, which was revolutionary for the fandom I mean, we could name this and that member but it is as I said, every member is essential and there is no bts without any of them this is the attitude we call being OT7, loving all seven members equally :)

[@JohnReavesLive]

For real I love that about the band how they stick together and really work for the betterment of each member, I remember some of the older bands I was in, when I got a sponsorship I made sure it was for both me and my other guitarist (I play guitar and sing) so if it was a guitar thing, we both benefited from it!

[@histfictfan4460]

Oh, "passion pay" definitely happens in the corporate world, but they call it "internship" here. Sometimes there's a small stipend, but usually it's unpaid and without benefits, in return for the intern gaining experience.

they have a lot of these types of songs and that's why I love them, when they made this they weren't even that big, and even their first debut song is about the hopes and dreams of the younger generation, encouraging them to not mold ourselves into what society wants and expects us to be. I highly recommend: - spine breaker (with DKDKTV explanation) -strange by Agust D(Suga) ft RM -Am I wrong -Spring Day -UGH by rapline (with DKDKTV explanation) -14045 by Agust D (suga) from his 2015 mixtape

Since they started out being a hip hop group most of the songs were rap heavy but as they have changed their sound throughout the years, the rapline and vocal line have a good balance. Just as you've heard rapline only songs, there are also vocal line only songs and there are group songs with the vocal line being more dominant as well. Check out "Magic Shop"

Just want to put it out there that they actually were not a big band at the time they made the song. BTS have been fiercely political and bold since their inception when they were complete underdogs. They’ve repeatedly risked backlash and even blacklisting from people in power. While it’s nice when someone with a large platform decides to speak up about injustice, it’s all the more impressive to me that they did not wait until having a large platform to do so; they grew in fame and influence while making socially conscious music.

[@JohnReavesLive]

^^^ I totally agree with this! And honestly I had no idea they hadn’t made it yet when they wrote this! Makes it even better for me knowing they proved themselves right!

[@aprilforgue]

Crow- tits ARMY does not mind long videos trust me. BTS have over 300+ songs I think people are giving you more of the rap heavy songs then the vocal one given the type of music you listen to. I am going to suggest Magic Shop has more of an even distribution of vocal and some rap. I recommend the live version with English subtitles. BTS are always better live so you really should check out the live version of Baepsae.

As far as this being rap heavy, Army tend to give a guiding hand to the tracks the reactor has stated they enjoy. There are so many songs that split pretty equally with all parts. Sub units of just vocal line as well. But since you've expressed a preference toward rap the majority of Army watching will try to refer to those songs that showcase a more hiphop feel.

[@amethystcane7401]

To answer your question at the beginning, it depends on the type of song. If it's more melodic and vocal-heavy, then the vocal line is more prominent (songs like 'paradise' or 'life goes on') but the hype songs and more hip hop heavy songs will have more of the rap line taking the lead. Hope this helps.

[@JohnReavesLive]

[@melwigs]

I'm sure you've heard this already lol but there are rapline songs, and songs with just the vocal line, subunit songs etc. I prefer the rapline but one of my favourite BTS songs is The Truth Untold, which is just vocal line, and another is Jamais Vu which only has Jin, Jungkook, and J-Hope on the track, while my favourite soloist is probably Suga/Agust D. Rapline plays a big part is some of their biggest songs (by biggest I mean ARMY favourites like Anpanman, not their English singles that blew up like Butter and Dynamite lol) and most of the production, but they all have their hand in producing and writing to some extent, while Suga and RM probably take the cake. Jungkook likely has the most lines out of anybody for OT7 songs though bc he's the main vocalist. Sometimes the rappers are on the song but all you hear is a "yeah," or "uh," pretty much lol so nobody really shines more than anybody else. You'll have to get a better idea by listening to their albums. Or just watch some music videos... I'd start with Blood Sweat and Tears, Black Swan, Save Me, ON Kinetic Manifesto

[@JohnReavesLive]

You are so far listening to heavily base hip hop songs of them, in those obviously the rap line is the one leading... there's a lot of songs where no one leads, and a lot of songs where the vocal line leads and the rap line has only a few lines.. is normal, no one is bigger, you would see the more songs you know

[@JohnReavesLive]

stoked to hear more of their songs so I can learn more of each member!

[@Kookiepookie2025]

Vocalists and rappers are like the perfect balance yes rappers has higher credits on writing and producing but Vocalist did write Nd produce masterpieces too also vocal line has 3 dancers of dance line also jungkook the main vocalist has such big role in making bts music he does guide tracks , adlibs , harmonizing, replace if someone is sick etc he does this for both vocalists and rappers

[@JohnReavesLive]

He really does stand out to me as someone who I’ve seen or heard more even though I’ve only seen Rap line right now

Ok, the lyrics video totally messed up this one part at 6:07 . The actual lyrics are: (We’re the try-hards/crow-tits/Beapsea) we meet your expectations. (We’re the try-hards) we’ve earned that name. (We’re the try-hards) let’s all just get together. (We’re the try-hards) try-hards.

[@iwantrunchranda5616]

Dope MV is recommended. If there's a official music video with english subs, it's actually the best video to react to. If none, then that's when you will look for a lyric video. And for me, as someone who's fond of watching BTS reactions, explanation vids are not really necessary on 'some' of their songs unless it has culture preferences or it's too deep, like Spring Day, Ddaeng, UGH, etc. But it's still up to you. I know you like meaningful songs and you really want to know the meaning behind it. ARMYs are going to watch till the end. 💜 This is just a suggestion. Don't get me wrong. Follow your heart :)

[@JohnReavesLive]

:) heck yes! for real thank you! I'm going to for sure watch some of the actual MV I think they put a ton of work into them so I would love to see what those look like :) I'm just a huge lyric nerd lol so the explanation video just help me really get into the songs more, but I agree there's probably some I dont need an explanation to :) thank for the suggestion!

11:25 angel, that IS the same 🫂 BTS got lucky to get slots for earlier shows AND at their expense and time. It's the same. It finally got to a point where Suga said that the system or "the status quo" isn't really beneficial to the artist because they spending hours and hours being at these shows. The last straw was atvthe height of covid-lockdown when they decided that these shows aren't even worth it because the people they make their art for couldn't even be present so they stopped going because .. dun dun dun... these shows are exploitative and has low return for artists. 🔥

The way Hoseok's hidden vocals in the first part is the craziest part for many of us. Since I heard the audio only of the hidden vocals, nothing has been the same. Don't do it lol

[@shannonslutzky4754]

Maybe not your style 🤷‍♀️but the song your eyes tell live is a beautiful song that has all seven members and really showcases how amazing they sound live. Magic shop is also a great live for whole group that really shows army involvement which I personally love. Anyway, just found you and love your open mind and genuine reaction. Welcome to the rabbit hole! It’s deep, so take your time. Side note; all seven members sound better live imo…I’ve yet to find a song i don’t like better live so I encourage you to check those out when u can.

You probably already have these recommendations but Sugas solo work as Agust D is amazing. For a good look at what they are like as a group ‘On’ Kinetic Manifesto is a must watch. Also Black Swan. Lyrics are amazing. I believe that in Korea the producer is also a songwriter so it’s impressive. Watching xCelestes introduction to the 7 members is a must watch.

"Crow it." At the begining you ask if the rap line is bigger than the vocal line, in fact it will depend of the song, in some songs, like this one, they will have 3/4 of the song and some time they will only had 3 or 4 lines.
