You can't show someone "Ddaeng" and NOT show them the lyric/cultural reference breakdown!!!!!! The insane word play elevates this song to the stratosphere! I'm sorry... did he say "their audience isn't used to fire lyrics?"

[@jesss757]

TOTALLY ... !

[@btsarmy8114]

THIS

[@lilithlove7]

Exactly

[@azhirehoon6242]

this!!!

[@ashleylaframboise963]

being a ddaeng enthusiast, i would highly suggest pairing any ddaeng reaction with the DKDTV explanation video. it explains in depth the intricacies that only a korean would understand. it’s mind blowing.

[@m..na.]

He’s more here to analyse the song instead of the ;lyrics so I don’t think its really necessary unless they are interested into looking at it further

[@nurbatrisyia7909]

yess plss

[@ashleylaframboise963]

@@m..na.disagree, they analyze songs all the time when they turn on subtitles and read lyrics, talk about tones, notes, parts that they like or dislike in a song etc all of that is an analysis and that works fine for most kpop songs but it doesn’t work for ddaeng because it’s unlike other kpop songs. ddaeng’s lyrics are filled with word play and cultural references that may not make any sense to the listener who is trying to get a feel of the song by reading the lyrics. understanding the word play, references and even the sounds is will allow others to fully appreciate ddaeng. It’s up to them if they want to react to the explanation video or not, but most army would agree that it’s essential.

[@bklyngirl913]

Lyrical context is definitely needed for Ddang. They are so many cultural references that play into way they are rapping the way they are. There are lyrics that call for softer tone rather than attacking the beat. Which was mentioned in the critique. Sometimes understand meaning behind lyrics explains reason why certain points on the song carry different tones.

[@irenev1193]

@@m..na.yeah, i believe as a producer, he was mostly interested in the sound itself and also the flow

[@goeienacht]

I will say for people that aren’t extremely familiar with bts content who don’t speak fluent Korean, the lyrics may be so simultaneously direct/indirect because of translation. A lot of wording and phrases get lost in making it accessible to English and non-Korean speakers

[@Koko3op]

This is a great point and what I figured is usually the case tbh.

[@dwinava]

@@Koko3op please reaction agus D - agus D

[@MM-et2jr]

Cool to see his reaction and breakdown. I enjoyed it. This had me cracking up. "their audience isn't used to fire lyrics?" (did he really say that? Did I hear that wrong?). Hahahahahaha. OMG. Yeah, nah. Fire lyrics is one of the main reasons why I love BTS. They excel in fire lyrics. Hope you both have a great day!

Yes do that, please!✋ their writing styles are just amazing...😶👌

[@dnclvr]

I think he would love to see the bangtan bomb video where there are in the studio working on the production of ddaeng

[@NoviRV]

that was a gift song at soundcloud for army to celebrate BTS anniversary fiesta. song produced is still great even though its for free

[@jesss757]

Guys - like many probably already commented- If you listen to DDaeng, also watch the explanation video. I can understand that when we listen to music people can’t expect us to look up for explanations etc. That’s not how it works. But since you are reacting we just want to tell you. Ddaeng is a song that you don’t understand without the explanation. Like him saying he wishes Hobi would be like TAK-TAK-TAK. It’s about being calm and cheeky and being overly polite it can be seen as mocking again. It’s such a satisfying diss track to be honest 😂

[@cassandra6441]

"Rm, yeah he's the one" *shrugs*. That made me chuckle. glad you both liked ddaeng!

[@alycruz9627]

I'm disappointed no one said it but SUGA/Yoongi produced this song.

[@SapphireJann]

The guitar part is a Korean string instrument, I’ve seen it a few times in kdramas historical ones though. It’s a big instrument.

[@taen_y]

It's two actually, gayegeum, which is the string instrument you mean, and yanggeum, which is an instrument with metal strings that are played with bamboo sticks. I highly recommend checking out this Inuyasha OST yanggeum cover! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5ivdZd4hKqGeJI

[@SapphireJann]

@@taen_y ahh nice to know. Thank you 😊

[@archive2500]

"Ddaeng" is nothing without you understanding the great wordplay and lyricsm they made here.

[@Atti237]

I like how Drew breaks down rap so much the musicality aspect of it.

[@k.pierce856]

RM part have many word play 🔥🔥🔥

[@senplaileaux]

I highly recommend you show him(or he can on his own) the studio/album version of Tear. Because it is live those little things he was looking for (like the auto tuned parts in Suga’s verse) are there but aren’t translated into the live performance. I really would love to see Drew react to more BTS (specifically the rap line and their solo works) because the boys ARE producers and writers. Suga specifically auditioned for BigHit/HYBE to produce actually before they put him in the group. So I would love to see his reactions and break downs of their work!

[@gloriat3446]

y’all should react to the studio version of outro:tear as well … suga slightly uses auto tune in his verse 🥰

[@jamkutie]

RM snaps as perrrr. Please show him Ddaeng live by the rappers aswell - the bangtan bomb

[@candicesmith-mackenzie6303]

The instruments in Ddaeng are traditional Chinese ones, I think. Not a guitar. Pipa, dizi, guzheng, and erhu. And outro:Tear makes me cry everytime i hear it. It was written when they were thinking of disbanding. J-Hope sounds like his heart is being ripped out. Also in the recorded version they use autotune when he says T.E.A.R and in one of the other lives. Like how you break it down, very much. 😘💜💜💜

[@taen_y]

*Korean actually, danso, gayageum, and yanggeum. They're similar to some Chinese instruments, but not the same! :)

[@candicesmith-mackenzie6303]

@@taen_y I couldn't get confirmation of the actual instruments they used, every article I ever read says what I mentioned. If you know where to get that info I would love to find it. Thanks 💜

[@inzaghiscornsalad7034]

the erhu is so beautiful really

[@partypartyyeah5907]

RM 's Verse 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Belbecat]

I think Ddaeng is like a laid back flex/swag rapping for them, it's the unofficial 4th cypher - that attack you were talking about is what they did in the first 3 so they did something different in Ddaeng. I never did notice Hobi rapping like the chorus though, I guess when you get to know their styles too well you don't notice stuff like that xD

[@taen_y]

you mean 5th lol.

[@btsarmy8114]

"Their audience isn't used to fire lyrics" someone hold me, that's so not true but he doesn't know yet so....

[@ucheejeagwu1962]

RM delivered.

[@teresab.5923]

I love my rapline very much, so different but soooo good working together. Ddaeng and Tear my favorite masterpieces.

[@amanilache]

I have been waiting for this omgggg !!

[@bryansl0587]

I really enjoy his analyses. So in-depth. I feel like I learn a lot every time he’s on.

[@nataliemcdonald4315]

You should look at live performance of Ddaeng where the Vocal line raps. I'd like to know what you're thoughts are on their rapping abilities

[@taen_y]

This video was great, love seeing him break down the production and rap. The "guitar" is actually two different Korean instruments, gayageum and yanggeum! Would be interested what he thinks about some songs with a more mellow vibe like "Outro: Her", which is a boombap track, and RM's "seoul" and "moonchild", which are more lofi, melodic rap tracks with some interesting production imo! :) If anyone's interested in checking out the instruments behind that "guitar" sound, I highly recommend this Black Swan gayageum cover: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5PNnJeHoMSHa7c and this Inuyasha OST yanggeum cover: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5ivdZd4hKqGeJI

[@chrissam5488]

Hi, do you perhaps know the instrument that they use in the original black swan?

[@taen_y]

@@chrissam5488 Afaik it's a guitar (cmiiw), but the way it's played, it kinda sounds like a gayageum:)

[@shasan73]

This is one of my favs from the rap line....

[@loverofthearts222]

Yes, pleaseeee you will love this on a whole nother level when watching the breakdown of the lyrics 🙏💜

[@Caroline-eb2ys]

13:31 he actually did use autotune for this part in the studio version lmao i love how u read their producer minds basically. Anyways yea this is a live performance of it, so theres no autotune on the live track. you can check out the studio version for it tho

[@orreomacflury7881]

Thank you for the video

[@joonsrighttoe8337]

We’re totally used to fire lyrics I mean that’s probably why most of us are ARMYs in the first place bc of their lyricism 😂💜

[@bangwol8759]

Need more like this 👍💜

[@hvaab455]

I love that reaction, I think he's loving tear 😉

[@ironick5]

j-hope's part... Cheeky and naughthy... He so clever AF

[@bagnathmari2282]

I think the reason why this kills it is because it’s not what you expect it to be- they are killing bc they’re not doing what you expect- I think you need to look at the explanation video to truly understand the amazing word play and why they rap the way they do- And by the way they ALl know what they are doing just bc their not doing what you prefer.

[@Lydia-rb8so]

Interesting that in TEAR, where he said he wished there was autotune, there actually is on the studio version.

I'm not a native speaker sooo....🙈 Could you add subtitles pleeease!?🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Your off-screen comments are very interesting, but often I can't hear clearly what you (and sometimes even your guests) say! And unfortunately, automatic subtitles can't handle it too!😭😭😭

Please, Sir(s)… I would love to hear your opinion on RM’s rap song “Joke”. He needs to breath…..

[@jodyb8748]

My eardrums hurt :')

[@ebony7177]

I enjoy his analysis of rap but I think I have to disagree about something he said about Ddaeng. IMO that beat wouldn't work with harder flow or more attack. In my mind that would be too discordant and would diminish either the rap or the music. As an example think about Em's Lose Yourself. That beat was made for how he kept ramping up and up on it. Now change his flow to something softer or whispery. The music doesn't call for that right? You showed him Tear as well and it shows they know when to throw that power and when not to. Ddaeng was a clinic in wordplay and wasn't made to be super forceful or aggressive. In fact it seems purposely mellow showing how calmly they can lyrically blow you out of the water. That's my two cents. Also the audience isn't used to fire lyrics?? The lyrics is what BTS is known for plus I'm guessing he doesn't get a 1/3rd of the meanings behind Ddaeng. Funny enough the album version of Tear does have autotune for Suga's verse.

[@TheMamamarieke]

Something that make your videos a lot more watchable would be having a mic on the person who is not on camera. It’s SO hard to hear what you’re saying in order to follow the conversation.

[@Koko3op]

Sorry that’s a good point, I’m just not sure what equipment I need for two mics and what the setup will be but I’ll look in to it.

[@amethyst7143]

why do people always talk and miss the beginning of rms part in ddaeng😭😭😭also just showing ddaeng with n explanation doesn’t sit right

[@jodyb8748]

The speaking sound of you guys is way too loud 😭😭

[@Koko3op]

It’s such a hard balance 😭. Sometimes people are too quiet then they get excited and sometimes the music doesn’t pick up. I’m willing to take donations for expensive mics 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
