So I know you caught a couple of them, but the musical references on "Pink Venom" are pretty extensive: The song starts with a crowd chanting "Blackpink" like the crowd chants "Bravehearts"(pretty sure it's what you were thinking of) in the Nas song "Made You Look". Then Jennie hits us with a reference to Biggie's famous line "kick in the door, wavin the 44"(Jennie says Coco). Next Lisa references Rhianna's "Pon de Replay" with "One by one and two by two" and also 50 Cent's P.I.M.P. with "you can't get a dollar outta me". Rosé and Jisoo both reference Taylor Swift with "look what you made us do" also "I bring the pain like" is a reference to Method Man's "Bring the Pain". Finally, the Jennie/Lisa rap verse is backed by a sample of Ice Cube/Eazy-E's part of "Gangsta Gangsta" by N.W.A(could also be "Dope Man" pretty much the same sample). All the hip hop references aren't a coincidence as they happened to release this track during the 49th anniversary of hip hop. Teddy(their producer) and the girls definitely weren't shy about shouting out their inspirations/favorite artists in this song.

BLACKPINK with 82.6 million subscribers on youtube is officially the artist with the most subscribers on the planet.

They are definitely paying homage to the great talents that inspired them and their producer Teddy. Notorious B.I.G( " Kick in the door", ) you got Rhiannon, and 50, missed Taylor Swift( Look what you made us do" ref) Missed Methodman & Redman (" Bring the pain"), but this made a great deal of us smile, and it never once crossed our minds that it was anything less then paying respect. But haters gotta hate. Honestly hope they can see it for how it was meant. Ty for the reaction.

Very happy to see you back Gabi! For your question about BTS and BlackPink in my opinion it's not really a simple question to answer. I love then both, for me, right now BlackPink is far the most popular and BTS hiatus helps that, but in terms of history and trophies and have a lot more songs BTS still on the lead, we can't forget that BTS helped all the groups that came out after to get visibility out of South Korea. BTS is the King's and BlackPink are the queen's o K-pop and that's all that matters! Have a great day my friend!!!

[@GabiSRealist]

Nicee to see you too 🙏 have a great day and yes you are actually right 🙏

[@getgreatstuff88getgreatstu8]

They are paying homage to their favourite top performers in this song. No credits necessary. We all know the songs that those references are for.

[@michaelt4256]

I really dislike when people say they copied, or appropriated, or even claim cultural appropriation over this song,, makes me mad. First, this is hip hop, who has been sampling since the beginning. Second, this was released during the anniversary of hip hop. It's clearly a respectful homage to those before them.

[@nishamagar8711]

You should react to blackpink typa girl

[@Amanda-im4so]

Oh how we missed you!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💜

[@GabiSRealist]

I’ve missed you too 🙏❤️

*REACT MORE TO BLACKPINK* (These 5 BLACKPINK songs already exceed a billion views each) - HOW YOU LIKE THAT - KILL THIS LOVE - DDU DU DDU DU - BOOMBAYAH - AS IF ITS YOUR LAST

[@user-lh6nx6ow1x]

Blackpink is bigger than BTS.

[@Kingjovibes]

Yea they are

[@whenraindropsfall]

um I’m a Blink but let’s stop the cap lol

[@SparkimusPrime]

If you get a chance you should check out some First Nations Canadian rappers Snotty Nose Rez Kids- Creator Made an Animal. Or Run the Jewels - Legend Has It Or The Weeknd - Reminder (lots of rap cameos) 😊🖤

[@lazerx1828]

There are three intentional references to old school hip hop (Biggie Smalls in the first verse, Rihanna and 50 Cent in the second), that's it. In the case where they used an interpolation of Rihanna's "Pon de Replay" the original creator is compensated. You'll always find haters trying to bring BLACKPINK down, it's lonely at the top. By the way Rihanna and BLACKPINK are both signed under UMG, so I think she's aware.

[@GabiSRealist]

🙏❤️

[@freakmasterwizardwiz]

Don't try to figure it out, just enjoy it ffs.

[@nishamagar8711]

No their another new song shut down have their old videos references

[@DBM1234-d1f]

REACT TO "SHUT DOWN" BY BLACKPINK 100% rap

[@SparkimusPrime]

They are definitely giving flowers. Rihanna is one of Lisa’s biggest inspirations. Plus their main writer Teddy is a huge hip hop head. 🖤 You should check out the DDU DU DDU DU remix live at Tokyo Dome. Is SO 🔥🔥🔥

[@GabiSRealist]

I will definitely do that 🙏🥳❤️

[@SparkimusPrime]

@@GabiSRealist Yay! Thank you 🖤

[@danielsg813]

🙆‍♀️😍

[@GabiSRealist]

🎉❤️🙏

[@lakenneth374]

BTS is bigger than Blackpink. If BTS was a company in South Korea, they would be rank 7th in money making, plus Bits sold 5 concerts night at SOFI STADIUM this year.

[@whenraindropsfall]

suggestion, I think you should just enjoy the video instead of trying to analyse and pause every second. It kind of defeats the purpose of reacting

[@lalitpradhan541]

In KZbin blackpink the biggest. Views as well as subscribers.

[@TheBigDrop285]

[@salehalblushi2935]

[@SparkimusPrime]

That chant always reminds me of the intro to Snoop’s I Wanna Rock. And that stop drop makes me think of Ruff Ryders. Look what you made us do could also be a reference to Taylor Swift.

[@GabiSRealist]

Can be also jay z and linkin park 😮

[@SparkimusPrime]

@@GabiSRealist I love how they mix so many sounds. And I just realized tonight that I need them to do a track with Snoop lol I think it would be fire
