Musicians react & review ♡ STRAY KIDS - THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE

Never...

[@brixdi6146]

This is one song that haters make most fun of in skz discography and I feel SO SORRY for them that they don't get the deep artistry and pure talent that results in a genius song like this. That is why I love it when professional musicians react to TTAH so that they can point out all the amazing parts of the song. Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece

how jyp pd-nim once said: stray kids has uneccessarily (hope I wrote that right) high quality album intros and this one is the PERFECT example AND I just LOVE the little studio recording sequence after Changbins last verse/song outro

because I am a foreigner but know about SKZs love for wordplays and korean cultur/history (thunderous for example) references I always look for reactions from koreans so I get bits of information and explanations here and there, so thank you~

[@kristinautami]

I’ve never heard something like this in my entire life. That’s what i love abt Stray Kids, they always put out one of the most inventive crafts and they are insanely good. I’ve never felt not excited to hear new music from SKZ. Talents like them are definitely so rare.

[@lunalovegood6357]

This song was originally a short track for the intro in GoLive album then they made it to a full song for the repackaged album. This is not the first they did this, they also made the short track intro for yellow wood (road not taken) to a full song for levanter (stop). The fans really like the intro short tracks so they made it to a full song. Their intros were usually just short but since then (after InLife) they haven't done short tracks for intro anymore haha

[@rachel_stayskz9787]

This song is a master piece along with their Maze of Memories.

[@harleyshanks]

I usually don’t like effects on vocals but Stray Kids uses vocal effects SO intelligently that it doesn’t bother me. Its never just for fun, its always there for a reason.

[@ESPHMacD]

I feel the same. It's different when artists use vocal effects to cover up something rather than just to add the effect, and you can usually tell the difference.

[@janetoliver1009]

Same👍🏽

[@itznotgrace]

this song is a masterpiece. Stray Kids are so crazily talented! Always love watching y'alls reactions

[@permatagunung4500]

3Racha, the production team of Stray Kids are an expert on word playing, with the advantage of Chan who is fluent in English, they can mix the Korean and english words and turn into beautiful and meaningful lyrics. Almost every song produced by 3Racha had a word play in it.

[@jojo.joanna]

Another extremely experimental track by Stray Kids which is sadly underrated is 3rd Eye -- I highly recommend it!! It's one of my favorite tracks from their discography to date despite being on their debut album, and it brings me to another time and space whenever I listen to it Great lyrics to 3rd Eye as well

[@JingleHops]

Wow, finally someone else is showing love to 3rd Eye! The last parts of the song is so insanely good, especially that like, weird synth.

[@jojo.joanna]

@@JingleHops I love all the sections of that song so much, otherworldly vibes both in audial and lyrical composition Glad to see another 3rd Eye appreciator!

[@sophiazion1113]

i remember the first time i heard 3rd eye my jaw j dropped and i sat like that the entire time…. such a beautiful fucking song omfg

[@rerarei]

I was obsessed with this song when I first heard it. I was only following skz on spotify back then. This album had me getting to know the members more coz their experimentation and varied styles made me fall in love

[@Jadefrost_10]

Felix is my favourite and I love Han , the fact he created this masterpiece in 15 mins...bruh, he is a genius. Heard this song while random playin on youtube while doin garden work and loved it, do not understand korean but after seeing the lyrics as well, amazed me once more, masterpiece for me

[@ayanoitami7163]

Ikr! It sounds so unique, it's hard to describe Fun fact, they used the demo for last part (Changbin's part), and they keep the laughter sound at the background. The laughter part was unintentional, I think, it sounds so genuine

[@jaycebradley8404]

hell yeah, always here for ttath appreciation!!!! even without the wordplay and references, the song just fkn bangs lmao but it’s so fun to see reactions from people who actually understand both. i can’t stop laughing over rabbits and turtles now tho hahaha

[@morayoadedapo2457]

I love the way skz plays with their music but are also so serious about their music 😂 the word play, binnie's random bit at the end, chan's slurred, almost aegyo-like rap, "I know you know we leeknow", everyone manipulating rhythm, etc It actually took a few listens to notice the tempo was so slow, they did such a good job 👏🏾👏🏾

[@fahdza_]

This is why Stray Kids are my favorite, they make such unique music and they’re not afraid to experiment and try new things

[@jdjejsidjeiejieejej]

Stray kids are extremely talented.

[@nyingkah]

I remember the first time I listened to TTATH, I CRIED WHILE LAUGHING SO HARD. I mean, this song is so unique and funny(?) but it’s so cool at the same time. Later I know that it has a deep meaning behind the story of this song :")

[@undercover_idiot]

I just heard this song today walking through campus and my reaction was the exact same as yours!! I was frozen from shock but could not stop laughing. It's brilliant!! It made me finally I understand that maniac feeling.

[@elluuurs]

it's always fun to see people's reaction to TTATH 😅

[@tofusuns896]

I feel so sorry for the people who make fun of this song. As someone who loved the story of the tortoise and the hare as a child and knew a little korean as well, I immediately knew what they were trying to do the first time i heard it and made me so excited 😍😍 skz are geniuses

[@lisaSKZSTAY]

This and Maze of Mysteries are PURE GENIUS and my favourite SKZ songs. People who say they hate either song are only proving they know NOTHING about music. IMO, both songs are excellent representations of WHO Stray Kids are and WHAT they're capable of. Pure 3Racha 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@user-wn8lf1dw1i]

No way you reacted to one of my all time Fav Skz tracks! It's so experimental and it's one of the best examples why l love Skz as artists. Also the fact that it was chosen by Skz as the first track in the album is really brave considering how different it is from what is expected in the industry. Skz always seem to give the message that it's ok to go at your own pace and I love the lyrics as well as their sound. Anyway, I will stop blabbering now, because I would talk for hours about this track and many others if someone let's me. Thank you for bringing the Tortoise and the Hare up in your reaction. It was great to listen to it with you today. 🤘

[@rumahlegginganak9605]

Antis always use this song to hate the kids , Antis is stupid. I love the reaction...we love people who love and appreciate skz.

That's so interesting. This song is one of my favorites because it has almost a jazziness to it. There's a much better candidate to make fun of us for and I wouldn't even be mad. This song is cool as hell.

[@melissaegan2779]

I learned so much about this song watching this reaction. I love this song but you pointed out so many details I never would have picked up on. Thank you for that.

Wooow!!! Didn’t expect this. So glad you are hearing this masterpiece. **Off to watch your reaction **

[@LeeKnow3rdEye]

I love this song. It’s so crazy and different and fun. Loved your breakdown. I agree that I wish I spoke Korean to understand their meaning because they are geniuses and I don’t like missing their lyricisms. Love your reactions

[@angie03258]

this song and CHRONOSAURUS were one of the reasons why I fell in love with SKZ thanks for your reaction 🇲🇽

[@jiha58]

This is my one of all time favourites from Stray Kids. Start falling for them on the first few beats of Hellevator (first pre-debut song with MV) before the survival show even broadcasted and the rest is history. I hope you can try to listen to them starting from the Mixtape album (pre-debut), then choose 1 or 2 songs from each subsequent albums until the recent one. I think you might like when you listen to them.

[@MemphisJagsfan]

Can you believe they opened their album with this??? So good.

[@minhonyang]

FINALLY!!! Been waiting for so long for you guys to react to skz again 😭 The best thing about koreans reacting to skz is you guys can actually understand puns in the lyrics and appreciate how witty they are

[@kyliesmith521]

I think you would also enjoy stray kids songs “Maze of Memories”, “Domino” and “Chronosaurus” Maze of memories and Domino are more rap focused while Chronosaurus is more alternative rock. All of them have very interesting concepts, the way the songs made are just very interesting 😄

[@bellazul]

Most of us have same reaction like u guys when we first time hear this song😂😂..this song is really rare, unique & make us speechless Can u react all of their song in latest mini album, Oddinary.. Maniac Venom Freeze Charmer Muddy Water And also their other song from previous album.. Maze of Memories Boxer N/S Rock 19 My Pace

[@user-hb3wx2ok1o]

This song is brilliant, the speed that matches the hare and the tortoise at the beginning, our IN with an addictive voice, lyrics that, if real, are of great importance to them at this time of so many shows and presentations and rehearsals... it's different , but it's brilliant.

[@radanikolich2029]

Few reactors really understand that is not a noise, you guys got it Stray Kids are above everyone else

I love y’all’s analysis so much. Please listen to Chronosaurus by SKZ, guarantee you’ll love it and all the double meanings! Big love

[@lifeofmorganp]

Found it!! Oh my gosh haha I loved your reaction from the start and the synopsis of the fable ("the rabbit was like, bitch im better 😂") It was really cool to hear your analysis and appreciation for it!! If you want more badass rapping, Changin features on a song called "Mirror Mirror" and its one of my favorite raps, but its so cool everyone gets to here.

We have the same exact reaction when I first heard this song. GOOSEBUMPS. Whoever made this song are super intelligent genius.

3racha made it! Who else will make it? Also i love this song too like i’m a producer too and this song gives me the chills.

[@melnandex]

The most valid reaction to TTATH!!! Exactly what I felt when I first heard it

[@colleenchavez524]

Thank you! I really appreciate the discussion of what us foreigners are missing. Skz is consistently clever with their lyrics, and it all goes over my head. It's really frustrating, and I can't even really look up lyrics because it is difficult for me to know how to spell anything correctly. Even when i do manage to spell something correctly, or find subtitled videos that have things spelled out for me, there is still the difficulty of finding which word i need to know, since the syntax in Korean and English is different. Then there's cultural context (nursery rhyme, word choice, nods to other groups/songs), etc, that i just don't catch. I appreciate every little bit of context you gave here.

[@irmalouca]

i just started watching your reactions to early skz on patreon, and your reactions to their different ways to play with genre made me want to come back and watch this again. I definitely feel like you added to my appreciation of this song. this is the song that got me hooked on stray kids, but now i like it even more.

[@adyashaparija]

I've never heard anything like ttath, but i love it. Only stray kids can make a song as weird as this and still make it amazing. Also react next to maze of memories, side effects, maniac and venom.

i absolutely love this song … i like to hear more something like that from them . Thank you for appreciating this masterpeace

[@jojo.joanna]

Thank you for checking out Tortoise and the Hare! It's such an experimental track and I love hearing about the layers of lyricism that I can't comprehend as a person who doesn't speak Korean which adds to the genius of the song even more

This is one of their best kept secrets, so to speak❤️ stray kids love their wordplay that's fer sure

[@prinics416]

10:53 in Go Live which was released first and it's just the quarter of The Tortoise and The Hare, I thought the "빨리 가기 싫어 그냥 놀래" part was the pre chorus but in ttath it actually sounds like the chorus

[@jadefrog]

Yay!!!!!! Thank you so much for reacting to this, I've been waiting for this since your first Skz reaction. I just knew you'd love it. This is such a great great great weird strange oddity of a song and I love it. And I love seeing real musicians/producers react to it, I learn something new each time. Especially each time I watch Korean speakers' reactions I learn things I'd never have figured out by myself. Their new album Oddinary is pretty much all fire. The lyrics video for Muddy Water by the rap line is the one I want to see you react to most, it's an homage to 90's rap that is sooo good, but all 4 of the video releases are good in their own way. Venom is the weirdest, I think. From earlier releases, I'd say Double Knot, Domino, Victory Song, and the First Take sessions, that's Slump, Mixtape: OH and Scars, I believe in Japanese versions but the recordings are pretty special. Oh, also for some of their odder songs, could you take a look at Awkward Silence? It's not as awesome musically as this, but I can tell there are a lot of jokes and wordplay that I can't get since I don't speak Korean.

[@meena_deb3795]

Even foriegners like us, we know all the tea that they r using in the song bcoz chan explains n tmis behind each track..whenever they release something Also we have the bird app(twt) to discuss things Pretty sure that Istays r fully aware of skz's word play n puns Up next ,please check out muddy water its the new rap unit song from oddinary album.. waiting for ur review on that☺
